After a while of being blind, I started to regain my focus. "I can barely see you." I muttered to Rain. She chuckled, "You look like you just got out of a really hot shower…" I moved my head to face her, "stared" at her for a while then looked away. It was really quiet and a tension seemed to seep in after that. "Are they near us?" I asked. "No. Why?" Rain asked me. "It got really tense in here." I said. "Do you not know?" She asks bewilderment clear in her voice. "Know what?" I asked alert. I could feel the heat of her face near my ear and felt her hot breath breathe on me. "You kissed me." I went really limp, shock over powering all motor functions. "Elizabeth? Hell what's wrong?" Alice asked when she looked behind, noticing that we had fallen back a bit. "I don't feel good." I told her. "Okay?" Spence asked annoyed at the delay. "Can you see at all?" Alice asked. I shook my head and swayed a little. "Easy there Hell." Rain said softly, moving her hand lower onto my hip to support me better. I leaned onto her as my breath started to come in shallower. "We need to hurry." I muttered, I heard a scraping noise, it was faint, but from the distance we traveled, and an inner longing starting to roar at me, told me it wasn't anything pretty. A closer squeak told me that we had found an exit. "I'll take her." Spence said as Rain helped me walk over to the others. "Thanks." Rain said as I was passed over. "I'll go first. Alice, you next, Matt, you help Spence with Elizabeth." Rain said. "What about Kaplan?" I asked. There was a pause. "Come on, Rain please don't tell me that he's gone too." I begged her. "He's not dead. He just got separated from us." She told me. I stood there wondering how many of us there were and how much ammo we had. I could barely see the light that's above my head. I was let go and I learned that I could hardly support myself and so I grabbed the ledge above my head. I pulled myself out and was soon assisted by someone. I looked up and didn't see a white blur so I assumed it was Spence. I stumbled a bit after he had gotten me out. Two steps later, I turned my head away enough that I didn't vomit all over his shoes. 'It's starting to happen…" flittered around my brain. I could feel myself falling even more. "Hey Matt, help me out." Spence said as he started to lose his grip on me. My right side was soon being supported and I was somewhat able to think clearer my vision was coming back to the point that I could see but, the edges were still fuzzy. "I think," I said hoarsely, "When I get out of here, I'm gonna get laid." There were chuckles on either side of me and an extra glance was thrown my way. "Yeah but you might want to get cleaned up a bit." Spence joked. "Alice?" I heard Rain ask. We turned around and after a pause Matt handed me over to Spence and walked over to her. I could hear her muttering something about the viruses and colours. "Hey, you okay?" He asked her. "Blue for the T-virus, green for the anti-virus. There's a cure!" Alice said as she ran off in one direction, "There's a cure you're going to be okay." She called out to me. "I was beginning to worry." I said sarcastically. Rain then came over and helped Spence lug me down the hall. "Hey do you have any more of those painkillers?" Rain asked me. "Yeah, in my back pocket." I told her. "Okay when we get inside let's get you one." Rain told me. "Kay." I said weakly. We followed Matt and Alice into a laboratory that was flooded with water that I recognized almost instantly. "My lab." I breathed. "What?" Spence asked. "My leg. It hurts really bad." I told him as I started to limp. "I got her." Rain said as she took me from him and sat me down. "It's gone. Damn!" Alice said as she walked back out to us from an attached room. "No it's not." I said. "What?" Four voices asked me at once. "In the door near Spence, there's one remaining cure, in the form of a pill." I said, reacting to the panic of Alice's anger, without thinking. "How do you know this?" Matt asked. I looked at him and said, "I made it. When I was a teenager, I worked for the Umbrella corporation. When they were done with their testing on me, they threw me out." My mouth was moving with to the pictures that were playing in my mind. "I was born here." I added at the end, the memory of a scientist talking to me when I was about seven or so telling me that. "Spence?" Alice asked as Spence turned to face her. There was an intense silence for a few minutes before there was splashing and Alice fell to the floor, with Spence holding the gun pointed at her. I struggled to my feet. "Just because I'm sick doesn't mean I can't kick your ass." I said weakly before falling down. Spence made a tsk-tsk noise at me and pointed the gun at me. "Get the cure that you made." He ordered. I grabbed the railing that I was leaning on and struggled to get up, the wound on my wrist screaming in pain at me, was ignored and I pulled myself up. I stepped down into the freezing water and tuned out Spence as he ranted. I was breathing hard by the time I got down the stairs completely and over to the counter, leaning on it for support. I dragged my hand down to the third drawer and opened it. There were soggy papers and leaking pens in it and I shoved my hand down into it moving all of the items aside. I felt the cold ring of the drawer panel and pulled it up. Pushing myself up off the counter, I looked in and saw that the one pill and that it had started to dissolved. I pulled out the pill none the less and struggled over to Spence. "Alright, move it." Spence said as he grabbed my arm and pushed me over to the doorway. "She's sick! Where are you going to taking her?" Rain asked infuriated! "She's coming with me. I really don't want to shoot you, I might need the bullets." He said. "You shoot her, I will drop this pill and you will have no cure." I threatened. He pointed his gun at me and just laughed. "There's still the whole case of vials of the cure, Lezzy." He jeered, looking at me with malice. I was going to say something back but I stopped myself as I saw a lady, the one who had attacked me when I worked here, rose up from the water. "Come with me." Spence said to Alice. "No. What we had, wasn't real, I don't want to be with you." Alice told him. "I miss you already…" Spence said as he started to pull the trigger back. He didn't, instead She got him, right on the meat of his neck, like me. He turned around and shot her in the head and pointed his gun at me. I started the trek out of the water and up the stairs. As soon as we both were outside the room I turned around hoping that I could sneak back in, but he shut it in my face and shot out the lock, a pound on the door was soon followed. I looked back at him with venomous daggers. "Move it." He ordered. And so we started our journey through the maze of labs with occasional gun fire when they would show up.
We soon reached the platform from which we had started this god forsaken journey. And Spence dragged me over to the end of the train and sat me down. "Give me the pill." He ordered. I held my hand up and waited for his hand to be below mine. When it was there I opened my hand and let the half dissolved pill fall from my hand. I could hear a faint scratching sound from above us but figured it just be a bug or something. "What the hell is this?" He shouted as he threw the pill away and struck the right side of my face. I kept my face there and that just sat there, unable to think clearly. 'I have to take the other one.' I thought. "Are there anymore on you?" He asked. "No, like I had said in the lab, that was the only one left." I told him while keeping my face turned to the side. He soon lifted me up an inch or two and he tossed me onto the floor where I rolled a good distance away, stopping on my side facing away from the train. A loud hiss was soon heard above our heads. I rolled over slightly to look up to see a fleshy mass to drop down claws extended and teeth barred, landing and sinking into Spence's flesh. I sat there and watched this thing devour the man who had almost killed me and my friends. "Thank you, Baby." I said to the creature, the words coming naturally up to my lips and out on my breath. The creature looked at me before giving a roar of pain as it shape and form started changing. When the creature was finished mutating, it had longer legs and the back is straighter, stronger, when it could feel how much strength it had, it approached me slowly. I was very still and held my breath. The thing was right in front of me and smelled me; I saw that this creature had no eyes. The memory of watching and feeding the tiny creature flashed before me. "You are my child?" I asked. It licked me before becoming alarmed and running off into the hive. "That's my "child," I created that?" I could feel that tears formed and fell from my eyes. "I'm so happy that she lived…" I said as I covered my eyes with my face. I remembered that, I'm transforming into one of those things. I lifted my leg and pulled the pill from my pocket, fortunately it didn't get into the water when I was forced to move. I popped it in my mouth and downed it, feeling the cure working its majick the closer it got to my digestive system. I then forced myself to get up and move. I needed too. I HAD too, my friends need me.
I ran into them on my way back to them and nearly fell over from so much happening in my body. Rain caught me and picked me up bridal style. "Thank god you're safe." She said to me. "I took the last one." I told her. "Good." She said, continuing with the carrying of me. To make things somewhat easier for her, I wrapped my arms around her neck. "What about Kaplan?" I asked her. She didn't answer me, just kept looking straight ahead, sparing a single sad look at Kaplan, as did I since all I knew was that I made the cure, but I didn't remember how. We walked in silence at a rushed pace. The time near on her watch said twelve minutes. We very soon got back to the platform and Alice said that she would get the vials. Rain then took me onto the train and sat me down in the corner. She then sat next to me along the wall. "I don't want to be one of those things." I said pausing to take a breath, "Walking around without a soul." "You won't." Rain told me. "When the time comes, you'll do it…won't you?" I asked. "Hey no one else is going to die, you got that?" Rain said. I sat in silence as I looked through all of my memories that I gained from being here. By now the train had started moving, and the rocking movement was putting me to sleep. Before I knew it, I was asleep. It was a heavy sleep and I could feel myself starting to slip away. I didn't want to slip away, so I fought it. "It's not my time!" I shouted in my slumber. I could feel all the hope in me from fighting it slipping away from me. "Fine…I give up." I said exhausted I could literally feel my body start to breakdown with the virus. "Elizabeth…" Rain said softly, fear and worry in her voice. I could faintly feel the wet drop that landed on my hand. That sparked a fire in me and gave me the strength to fight. To overcome, too control the virus. I opened my eyes when I heard the click of the gun being cocked and saw that Rain had a gun pointed at my head. I instantly grabbed the gun and looked her in the eye. "I'm not done yet." I said she didn't let go of the gun. "I'll take that back." I said, removing the gun from her hand. I looked to Rain and gave her the best assuring smile that I could as my energy started coming back to me. "I could kiss you, you bitch." Rain said to me as she gently grabbed my head, bringing hers close. She pulled away and I held the gun in my lap when the side of the train I was on was cut into in three slices, knocking me across the train floor and nicking Matt's arm. I got up on my forearms "Go faster!" I shouted. "If we go any faster we're gonna de-rail." With that I watched as creation ripped open the door and tore Kaplan out and after one sniff, tossed him into the wall. "No!" I shouted. I closed the door and locked it; looking back I saw that Matt had the same idea for he was heading to the back door as the footsteps on the roof headed that way. He had managed to close it and lock before he fell backwards. But the door soon came off its hinges and covered Matt, knocking him further away. My baby soon walked in the door and lunged at Alice, stopping a few feet before her. She turned and hissed at Matt, and Alice shot a single bullet straight into her unprotected, fully expose brain. My baby gave her undivided attention to Alice and hissed at her. Alice fired the several more bullets before my girl shot her tongue straight at her and wrapped it around her leg. She then started to pull Alice towards her knocking the gun out of her hands. She quickly turned around and grabbed the metal grating on the floor. Matt got up and ran around to behind the metal poles that were stored on there for I don't know what and Rain grabbed Alice's hand while I grabbed the gun. Give a battle cry Matt charged my girl with the hanging poles Alice and Rain shared a glance of 'Oh Shit!' and flattened themselves to the floor. He hit her dead on and shoved her almost out the door metal pipes rained down upon Alice and Rain. My baby was barely holding on she had her tongue holding onto the hand railing next to me. "Shoot it Hell!" Matt ordered. I looked at my baby who was almost whining as she slipped and started dragging along behind the train. "No!" I cried as she fell. "Hell! Shoot her tongue!" Matt said. My eyes started to water as I turned to her strained tongue. "I'm sorry baby, I couldn't protect you." I said to her. I then pulled the trigger and watched as her burning mass was left behind. Rain pushed herself up out of the metal and saw me drop my gun. "Elizabeth?" She asked me as she came up to me. "That was a creation of mine. When I worked here, that was part of my DNA," I said as I faced her, "That was my child." I bursted in to tears and Rain pulled me close to her, encasing me in a hug.
