The night was shadowing the earth and Alice rode in the crisp cool air, the smell of ocean flew into her face. She slowed her bike and stopped in front of a cement wall. She got off and dropped the kickstand. Her boots sunk into the hard course ground as she approached the odd monument. Looking both ways she saw that the wall went on, there wasn't an end to it, her curiosity was peaked in the highest measure, she had to see why it was there. There was a low moan as she looked over to the right and one dead was patting the wall, as though attempting to penetrate the massive structure. Alice rolled her eyes as she threw a knife and it sunk deep into the head of the soulless man. She watched it drop dead to the ground, but he focus quickly moved to the wall. Power pumped into her legs as she jumped up and over the wall, it was low, but she could see it was very thick. The darkness swallowed her as she fell and hit the hard pavement of what seemed to be a road. There were tall abandoned buildings, swaying in the shadows, no life present, but the oddest thing was, there wasn't any dead, this was a city, and there weren't any dead. Las Vegas was blown over with sand, but this city wasn't, no explanation for such desolation. There was a low shuffle and a small click; she instantly moved her blades and a small red laser reflected off the shimmering metal.
She couldn't see what was the source of the light, it was too dark, but in a few seconds a light flashed on and beamed into her eyes. She squinted as she tried to pry an image of the living stranger, but the light was too bright. "Jesus Christ." A man's voice whispered as the weapon was lowered. Alice lowered her weapons and sheathed them tightly back in place. "Alice?" the man's voice asked as the flashlight was lowered. The woman froze, and her heartbeat at a slower pace, she knew that voice, but no it couldn't be. The man walked closer, and the light widened onto his face, yes there they were, hues of ice dulled in darkness, but still she knew the color. Her dry lips mouthed his name as she fell forward and he caught her. "Whoa." He said as she held her. She couldn't believe it; her eyes scanned his uniform and over the S.T.A.R.S patch the name 'Blake' was sewn. "Cole." She barely whispered. He walked with her in his arms. Her mind tried to know how he had survived, but her sight blurred as long travel began to take the better of her. "Everything will be fine Alice, I promise." His voice echoed in her fading world.
She woke up, low creaking echoed in the steal room she lay in. Light poured in from a porthole window. She rubbed her head and sat up as the door volt opened. Cole appeared in his hands were a tray with actual food on it. She looked around and lifted an eyebrow. "Is this a dream?" she asked looking at him. "No." he said setting down the tray on the bed, he was different, taller, thicker, older, but still had the handsome untouched face she remembered. "Where are we?" She asked as she felt a slight shift in the atmosphere. "U.S.S Nevada." He informed her. "U.S.S Nevada?" she asked. He gave a smile and nodded. "But how?" she asked grabbing her utensils and devouring the eggs, bacon and toast. "Well S.T.A.R.S Delta team was on a mission, we were being escorted by the Navy, at sea, the t-virus spread everywhere, even Hawaii, he came ashore here and killed restless, settled a camp, we have teams that travel the state I search of survivors, but here was exist." He let out a sigh. "You have no idea how glad I am to see you Alice, I thought you had died a long time ago." She looked up at him as his eyes starred at her.
She couldn't even express how she felt, she was speechless. "Cole." She said once though as his attention was drawn to her. "I am sorry for what I did, I never stopped loving you." She then went into the explanation of everything, the fake marriage the hive, the outbreak, Nemesis, Umbrella, how she was infected and that Umbrella was still after her. After her whole inquiry which took about two hours to complete. "I knew it." He said. "Ever since you told me, I knew something was up, and plus I knew, I saw you on the news that one time a long ago. She placed the tray on the side of the bed when he stood up. "I'll be back Alice, have your choice to explore." His hand went for the volt latch. "Wait." Her voice pleaded him, he turned to look at her and he gave a small smile.
