RECAP:
"What was all the shooting about?" J.D questioned, looking back and forth between the three of us.
"We found a survivor." Rain answered, tightening the bandage on her wound. J.D immediately went to Rain's side while Alice stepped closer to me.
"And you shot him?!" Kaplan exclaimed.
"She was crazed, she bit me." Rain said irritably. At that moment, I took a look at where her body was suppose to be and was in for a shock.
We are sooo fucking screwed.
"Are you fucking kidding me!? She's fucking gone!" I shouted in disbelief.
START:
"That's bullshit!" Rain hissed, coming over to where I was staring at. The others followed.
"Does it look like I'm fucking joking, Rain!? See? She fell right here!" I said, pointing to the empty area on the pipe-covered floor.
"What's that?" Alice asked, looking at the small flecks of red on the floor.
"Its blood, and a whole lot of it." Said Matthew who was still handcuffed as he kneeled down by the drops
"It's coagulated." Warner informed in disbelief.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" I whispered.
"That's impossible." Kaplan whispered.
"And why is that?" Rain snapped, glaring at all of us in annoyance.
"Because blood doesn't do that unless you're dead." Matthew's words pierced through my ears as I continued to stare down at the drops of blood. Alice touched my shoulder lightly.
"Is? Are you okay?" She was probably whispering but it felt as if she was shouting next to my ear. Only one thought ran through my mind and that was:
There's at least 499 others just like her, otherwise how else would she still be walking around when she's dead.
"Can we go now?" Spencer asked, he was completely freaked out.
"No, not until the rest of the team gets here." Rain answered, checking her ammo. I saw Kaplan, Matthew, Alice and J.D share glances while Spence and Warner looked uncomfortable; it was then when I realized One and the others weren't with them.
"…Where's One and Olga?" I asked, dreadfully. The looks on their faces felt as if my gut was being ripped out and forced down my throat. I looked at Warner for an explanation but he only turned away from me then Kaplan looked me straight in the eyes before he parted his lips.
"They're not coming." He answered, softly.
Rain's head snapped towards him before she took a viscous step towards him with murder written all over her face. Kaplan tensed, expecting a punch from her. I took several steps closer to them.
"Rain –"
"What the fuck does that suppose to mean? Where are they!?" She hissed, running forward when I stood in front of Kaplan and J.D snatched her back by her waist and pulled her away. I felt a small stab of jealousy run through my body but Alice gave me a reassuring tap, shoulder-to-shoulder.
"They're dead, aren't they…" I whispered, looking at Alice who nodded her head. I could feel the tears coming but I pushed them back and a shook my head.
I can't believe this. Three people already.
"What the fuck, J.D?! Let me go! I wanna know what the hell he means!" Rain shouted, knocking me back to reality as she struggling to rip away from his arms when she was hushed.
"Hush!" He hissed, "Listen," in the distance, the shuffling of footsteps and the low-volumed sounds of groans and moans started to surround us before their faces appeared.
"Shit." Spence whispered as he stepped closer to the group.
Technicians, scientists, and workers of The Hive appeared all around us, some were so badly disfigured I doubted anyone could tell who they use to be. They were either missing eyes or parts of their jaws even limbs. Their eyes were hollow with a white residue covering them, their flesh was extremely pale but they all shared the same look – one of hunger.
"They're everywhere," I could barely make out Alice's voice; "Guys, they're everywhere," her voice grew louder; she was frantically looking in all directions.
"Don't come any closer!" Kaplan shouted in fear with his gun pointed to the crowd, they weren't listening though I knew a zombie when I saw one, all those years of zombies videogames and movies will make sure of that.
"That's not going to work, Kaplan." I whispered, pulling out my Beretta 92F, from the corner of my eye I noticed Matthew trying to uncuff himself behind us and I couldn't blame him.
The zombie scientist from before appeared out of nowhere trying to take another chunk out of Rain, Rain gritted her teeth as she twisted the zombiefied woman's neck, the cracking sound echoed through the entire room, almost in slow motion, Rain stared down at the lifeless body from turning her attention to the rapidly growing crowd before shit it the fan. The undead attacked restlessly and everyone opened fired.
"Why aren't they dying!?" Kaplan exclaimed in a semi high pitched voice, as he fired bullets into the undead hearts.
"They're zombies! Ever watched a movie? Shoot for the fucking head!" I shouted as I took down five of them before running backwards towards the doors.
"Come on!" I heard Rain shout as she jumped on top of one of the compartments to shoot the former residents. Spence looked at all of us before disappearing.
"Head back to the doors!" Warner shouted as he shot his way through with J.D following after him.
Fucking bastard!
Alice and Matthew have disappeared from my eyes as well. Kaplan was in front of me when I was tackled to the ground, losing my gun in the process, by a former technician who has one eye chewed off and his left arm was in shreds, his nametag read 'Glen'. His hand was wrapped around my throat in almost a death grip before I managed pull out my combat knife to stab him in the head. I kicked him off quickly when I noticed a few of the undead crawling towards me.
"Having fun?" I turned to see Rain staring down at me, giving her an annoyed looked I stood up before throwing my knife at the zombie that was inching behind her. She looked stunned before looking back at me to see a smirk on my face.
"Yeah, it's a joy." I commented sarcastically as we started running towards the doors. I found the others with the exception of Matthew and Alice trying to unlock the security code doors. When my eyes met Spence's I gave him the coldest glare I could manage and watched in satisfaction as he turned away from me. I could hear the faint sound of dog's barking but I pushed it to the back of my mind.
Maybe the dogs are close by and want to get the hell out of here too?
"What's talking so long?" Rain shouted.
"I'm working on it!" Kaplan shouted back in annoyance. I would have laughed if our asses won't on the line.
"Shit!" He exclaimed as the status bar read "wrong," on the keypad signaling that he punched in the wrong code. Warner became frustrated and pushed him away.
"What's the code?" He asked.
"Five, six, nine, zero – no, shit! Three, one, nine." Kaplan shouted, struggling to remember.
"Kaplan!" J.D shouted.
"Five, six, nine, zero, one, nine, three!" He said, finally the light turned green. Warner looked at Spence and Kaplan with a satisfied face.
"Look how easy that was." He said, throwing his arms up in the air. The doors slid open to reveal the undead cannibals in the staircase.
"Warner!" I shouted, running towards him just when he was grabbed from behind and pulled back. Spence dodged and backed away while J.D begun shooting at the zombies but it was no use, Warner was bitten twice before I even reached him. I knew it was a lost cause but he was still a teammate and a friend.
"Fuck, Is! Damnit, leave!" He shouted, pushing my outstretched hands away as Rain and Kaplan pulled me away from him.
"What are you doing, Rain!? We have to help me!" Even in my mind I sounded like an idiot but I wasn't up for seeing anyone die even though I have numerous times, it never gets any easier.
"Come on, Hal! We have to go! Now!" Rain shouted as she pulled me while Kaplan pleaded with me to be smart about this but I didn't want to listen to either of them.
"Let go! Warner! No! No! Just grab my hand! Warner!?" I shouted, as he pulled out his issued gun. A look of disbelief was smacked on my face as my heart already knew what was about to happen but my brain didn't want to catch up.
"We need to move now!" J.D shouted, still firing.
"Warner?" I whispered, as his screams got louder, I saw the skin of his leg being ripped off and blood sprayed on my face before my eyes met his. That look in his eyes froze me in my tracks.
"Go!" Rain successfully pulled me away from him and pulled me away when I heard a shot. I could feel the tears forcing their way to the edge of my eyes but I forced them back, then I heard barking - it was louder and real. I saw a flash of black behind me before J.D went down with two zombiefied dogs ripping and tugging him apart.
"J.D!" I found myself shouting along with Rain as I whipped out my Beretta and shot both of the canines in the head but it was too late, J.D's arm was in shreds, his gun was useless to him by his side. I felt the urge to puke and the surge of anger.
"Fuck!" I shouted, kicking the wall in anger. Kaplan didn't bother to comfort me instead he choose to keep guard for more of them behind us and Spence stood away from us looking petrified.
"J.D…" Rain whispered.
"Well, this sucks." He tried to joke; I couldn't even look at him.
"This isn't funny, J.D." Rain hissed, tears were disturbing her vision and for a brief second I wondered if she would cry if I was in his shoes…
"Shoot me." J.D said, with so much strength it at fooled me into thinking he was alright for a split second.
"What? Stop bullshitting." Rain exclaimed, getting pissed off as she continued to cuss him out. I could hear Kaplan firing into the crowd gathering down the hall, they were so close but seemed like miles away at this moment. I couldn't care less about anything at this moment – my friend, my brother was dying and he would turn into one of those things.
I moved closer to the couple on the floor, Rain was still fussing at him but J.D caught my moment and flinched slightly.
"J.D. I'm sorry – for everything." I said, he looked up at me and smiled before I pulled the trigger and Rain started screaming...
I'm back! I know I'm going to get chewed out for making you wait, how many months now?
But I've finally posted another chapter. As you can see Warner and J.D lived a little while longer.
Honestly, I thought I already completed my outlines for the other movies but I guess my computer lost it all.
Yes, I left off with another cliffhanger.
But anyways please review, follow, and fav!
PS: Oh, before I forget. My fellow Resident Evil and HOTD fan: MyLongSongs, has asked me to get her new story out. She's writing an OC story for HOTD and needs some OCs so please check it out.
