Billy awoke, taking in a good look at the room. It must have belonged to an employee. His gun lay on the side table. He took it and ejected the clip.
Billy sighed. He was right, he only had 4 bullets. Standing up he walked to the door. Billy pressed his ear against the door. He heard the soft shuffling of feet and then a hungry groan.
Great.
There was no way to tell how many were in the hallway. Before leaving he decided to check out the room. At the end of the bed there were 3 clips. Billy took 2. He left one, on the off chance that Rebecca or one of her team mates needed it. It felt good to have 34 bullets. Billy walked to the door and pushed it open, holding his gun up. There it was. A zombie. It wasn't looking at him, maybe he could run past. He crept out and turned in the opposite direction. Running he grabbed the handle of door at the end of the hall. Opening it slowly, he swept his gun around the room, seeing a zombie eating what looked like a S.T.A.R.S. member. The door clicked shut behind him as Billy ran straight across to a door. He opened it and looked around. It was a dinning room. There was a door at the head of the table. The room was fairly large, but there didn't look like there was anything of use. In front of the other end of the table, there was a fireplace. In front of the fireplace was a puddle of blood. Billy sighed and turned towards the door. The table was set but it had a layer of dust over it. It was obvious that no one had eaten there for a while but there would have been more dust if it really was abandoned.
I don't think this place was as "abandoned" as it looks from the outside.
Billy opened the door. It lead to a giant empty foyer/hall. Billy looked for a door. There were two. Crossing the hall, Billy grabbed a door handle. It was unlocked. Turning the handle, he pushed it open, sweeping the room with his gun. There was a zombie on the floor. He didn't know if it was dead or not. Not wanting to risk finding out, he ran by to a door almost dead across from him. The door was unlocked. Billy stepped inside. He didn't see any thing but the hallway did turn. Taking gentle steps. It didn't sound like there was anything. He made the turn. He didn't see anything. There was a door in front of him. Billy opened the door taking a look around. It was another hallway. This one had a turn and beyond that Billy couldn't tell. There was a door across from him.
Hopefully it's a bathroom
He twisted the door knob, and sighed in relief. It was empty and it was a bathroom. Billy walked over to the toilet. There was no time like the present. Amazingly, his bathroom break went undisrupted. Zipping up his fly, he turned to leave after flushing. The area in front of him was still empty.
Thank god
Billy made a turn to a small straightaway before another turn. He heard a large crash that sounded like breaking wood.
What the hell was that?
The noise came from the direction of the foyer. At the end of the straightaway there was a zombie half in the shadows. Billy shot it once, hitting it above it's left eye. It fell to the ground, completely hidden in the shadows. Billy thought about going to the noise but decided that if it was a monster, he didn't want to meet it. Walking around the turn, he held his gun up. Nothing but a door. Billy turned the knob. Unlocked. The door lead into another hallway.
This place is nothing but hallways.
Billy turned into the first door. It was a stairwell. There were three zombies. One under the stairs and the other two trying to walk down from the mid-level platform. Turning, he shot the one under the stairs 3 times then started walking up the stairs. Both the zombies stumbled and fell down. Billy ran past, thankful for how stupid and clumsy the zombies were. The stairs lead to a hallway.
Another one?
It was shaped weird, a turn at each end. The right or east looked good so that's the way he took. The hall was clear. There were two doors. One at the end before the turn and one at the end after the turn. He took the one before the turn. It lead to a small library. He glanced around. There were no zombies or any monsters. The library had another door. After checking the room, Billy went to the door. Luckily it was unlocked. Yet again the door lead to a hallway.
Did these people need so many halls?
The hall turned to his left. He slid around the turn. There were two zombies at the end of the straightaway. Billy ran to the nearest door. In side there was a cabinet and lots of suits of armor. On the floor there was something that looked like a button. He turned and opened the door again.
I don't think I want to risk getting killed by a puzzle.
The zombies had moved past the door to where he had came from. Billy ran around the turn and through a door. It was what looked like an odd passage. He walked to a body leaning against a pillar. It was a S.T.A.R.S. member. Billy hoped that Rebecca wouldn't come this way and see this. He walked through a door after checking the room. The door lead to a hall. There was a zombie at the end the of a turn. Billy didn't see a need to kill it so he walked bye into a large room the looked like an attic. Listening closely, he heard a soft hissing noise. It almost sounded like a snake, but not a small one. It sounded like the hiss for an anaconda. If they had given an anaconda the T-virus then Billy did not want to see it. Turning back around, he opened the door and ran back across the hall to the room with the pillar. He ran back into the hall across the room and took another door. This one lead to the upper story of the main hall. Billy didn't see anything or anyone so he ran straight down to the mid-level then back up and to another door. It lead to the dinning room second floor.
I'm never going to find Rebecca in this place. At this rate, I'm going to get lost in here. If I could find a map, then I could mark down the rooms that I've been in. the problem is finding a map in this place.
The dinning room top floor had two zombies. They were on one side. Billy went to the other side. It had a door. He walked carefully. There was a statue. It was placed in front of an open spot in the railing. The statue was begging to be pushed but Billy just wanted to get out before the zombies could get to him. He turned the knob and pushed the door open. Another hall. It had stairs then doors farther down. Billy walked to the first door. It lead to a trophy room. The room had no other doors but it did have a handgun clip that he took happily. He spotted shotgun shells and magnum rounds but he didn't have either anymore. Looking around the room he realized that it was clear. Billy leaned against the wall. All he had done was run since he woke up.
I should have looked around more and killed more zombies. The more I kill the better chance any others will have. From now on I will kill any monster just to give Rebecca a better chance. To give anyone a better chance. Although I will have to be careful about my ammo. I wouldn't want to run out and then run into some horrible thing.
Billy slid to the floor for a small break.
