THE CRIMSON STONE
CHAPTER 2
'…Unfortunately not much survive the terrors that befall the once ever peaceful Raymark City. It is reported that a lot of the people of Raymark City has been poisoned by a source that is still unknown as to how they were turned in zombies. Not only are they mindless, but they also practice cannibalism which causes quiet a number of lives. Will history repeats like that of the Raccoon City incident eight years ago? We were told that the government has made a move to demolish this problem. But how long can we last before-….click.'
"Damn it," muttered Leon S. Kennedy as he switches off the TV. He just finished showering and was still in his towels when his communicator beeped.
Leon picked it up and a picture of a woman in spectacles appears.
"Hello, Leon. I'm guessing you already know why I beeped you. We need you at the headquarters straight away" said the woman.
"Yes, I've heard about it. I'm on my way." Replied Leon and he shut off his communicator.
At the BSAA headquarters...
Tia, who beeped Leon earlier, was already waiting in the weapons room when Leon arrived. On the table lay the weapons that BSAA had supplied for Leon.
"Since you already know the background story of this case, I'll just inform you on what you need to do," said Tia.
"The BSAA has detected similar virus that attacked Raccoon City eight years ago in Raymark City. However we need you to find out what is the source that's causing all of this havoc and report back to us instantly. We already sent out Alpha and Gamma team out there to rescue any survivors that are still out there," said Tia as she turns to look at Leon.
"And yes, we also need your specialty to stop it."
"I see," said Leon after a short moment.
"The usual weaponries are being handed to you," Tia said as she motions them on the table. Leon was already equipping his weapons.
"Since the city is located by the sea, you'll travel there by our special Ski-boat. And if you need any help just call for backups. It's already programmed in you communicating device. We'll try to get to you a.s.a.p"
"Okay, I guess I'll go now," Leon said as he turned to leave.
"Good Luck Leon" Tia said.
Leon just chuckles. "Thanks. I think I'll need more than just luck to survive another hell of adventure." And walks out the door ready to gain more hellish memories that could leave him nightmares for months…..again.
Back to the suffering teenager…
Charlie was panting heavier and heavier as she sprinted from one location to another to keep herself undetected by the zombies. Aside that, she was getting phobia just by seeing bodies being eaten and torn apart. She will constantly see body parst lying on the ground as she maneuvered herself to different locations.
As she was climbing up one of the emergency ladder at the side of a building she accidentally slipped and crashed down on some dust bins. The group of zombies that were feasting on a body nearby turned to her and started to head towards her. Charlie quickly runs to nowhere at all as she was seriously freaked out.
As she was running around, she was attracting more and more people along the way.
"Help!" She eventually shouted spilling her fear out.
Back to Leon…
He got out of the boat and silently made his way into the city, with his hand gun fully loaded. As he was walking in the city, he heard someone screamed. He quickly headed towards it. He saw a girl running for her life in the distance with a hoard of zombies chasing her from the back.
Quickly checking his map on his Communicating device he quickly found an intersection to where the stampede were heading. That way he could grab the girl out of harms way.
Charlie…
"I am seriously going to die," Charlie said to herself as she was running from the hoard of zombies.
"Oh, God please! Not this way!" she said as she looked back into those mindless eyes of the zombies. They were faster in groups than individually.
Charlie then saw an alley to the right. She made a sharp turn leaving the zombies to loose their balance at the sudden turn and went straight ahead.
"Must hide, must hide, and must hide!" she thought to herself urgently.
Suddenly out of nowhere, someone grabbed her backpack and pulled her into a small hidden alcove in the alley wall.
When she was about to scream, which was stupid considering the fact that it'll attract more zombies, the particular person closed her mouth with his hand.
"Shhhh, don't worry. I'm a BSAA agent."
Charlie's heart beat started to slow down upon hearing that statement. She was safe! At least she thought so.
After the hoard of zombies has long passed them and out of sight, the agent finally released her. Out in the alley way, Charlie said,
"Hey thanks man. I thought I was going to get slaughtered by those zombies. I'm Charlie by the way."
"Have you seen any other survivors?" asked Leon.
"Unfortunately, not. I have been the only one sane so far.
"I'm Leon Kennedy here to escort you to safety. Firstly are you alright?"
"Well aside from some cuts and bruises from being chased by zombies, yes. I guess so."
