Cole's eyes widened as he gazed at the moving ceiling, occasionally the line of white was broken by a light. He looked to his sides and saw doctors rushing him to a room. "W-w-where am I?" he whispered as a doctor look down to him. "He's awake." He said to the other. The bed turned and doors flapped open as Cole lay. His mind startled, was everything a dream? A man looked down at Cole. "Hello." He said with a smile. "Aren't you magnificent." He said as though talking to some kind of animal. Cole confused tried to bend his fingers, but they felt different. His eyes looked down to see what as he tried to lift his hand, but straps held him down. His heart rate sped up as he began to panic. "Dr. Cain, he is in panic." A woman said. The man looking at Cole reached down and stroked his face. "It is okay." He coaxed. It didn't help. Cole managed to get a peek at his arm, and it made things turn for the worst. He yelled in terror, his arm was red, swelling like a monstrous parasite. "AHHH!" he yelled as he began to struggle, the doctors worked hard as the injected sedative in Cole's IV. His mind became dizzy as the man entered his sight. "Don't worry, everything will be okay." Cole's eyes blinked and darkness consumed him.
Cole's eyes opened wide, but water rushed in. Quickly he closed them. Muffled voices drew him to reopen them. Outside the water were two men, one was the doctor from before; the other was a man with dark lenses over his eyes. "Chairman Wesker, just look at the success of this project, they watched a screen. Wesker rubbed his chin. "He has better results then Project Alice ever did. Keep him in the oppressor project, I want him to go and eliminate our little pest, and then he can go into testing for a cure." Wesker looked up and noticed Cole looking at him. He gave a smirk as he walked over to the tube. "You are truly a very interesting person now, Cole." He said as he looked at him. "A S.T.A.R.S combat specialist, who has been in intimate relationship with project Alice, and also the first to receive the Alice-t-virus." Cole lifted his hand to place on the glass; Wesker did the same on the opposite side. Cole's hues looked to his hand, it was normal, was that part a dream? Dr. Cain stepped up and looked at him. "Do you understand me?" he asked. Cole nodded his head. "Do you remember who you are?" he asked, again responded with a nod.
"Do you know what is happening to you?" He asked, this time he shook his head. Dr. Cain had a devious smile as he signaled something to a nearby scientist. The water began to drain from the tube. Cole's feet touched the bottom and the glass slide open. He ripped off the white tubes and water respirator. "I am going to kill you." he said reaching for his thigh gun, but instead his hand felt wet skin. His muscles felt weak and he fell over, everything went blank as Cole felt like he couldn't breath. He couldn't even talk anymore, something changed inside him. Dr. Cain helped him up and wrapped a towel around him, brushing his head gently, like Cole was his dog. "Do you know your name?" Dr. Cain asked. Cole was about to respond, but then he just suddenly didn't remember. He tried to pronounce it, but the words just never came, he reached up and grabbed his head. 'What is my name?" he asked giving a slight cough. Albert Wesker made his way to the subject. "He is truly remarkable, John." He said touching Cole's shoulder.
Cole shot a glare, but still was dumbfounded at the fact he couldn't remember his own name. "Alice." He said though, that was all he remembered, was her. Dr. Cain looked up from a screen. "Your name is Alice?" he asked. Cole shook his head. "Then who is Alice?" he asked walking around the desk to him. Wesker raised a brow. Cole lifted his quivering hand and placed it on his chest over his heart. "Alice." He repeated. "So our assumptions were correct." Wesker said. "Alice is more then just a friend, too bad we have to break this relationship up." Cole coughed again and Dr. Cain took him to another room. Cole entered the white room. "Dr. Cain walked to a table and picked up a pistol, of course it was empty when he handed it to Cole. "Gun, do you remember what this is?" he asked, as Cole grabbed it. "G-g-gawn." Cole said as his arm flexed up and he aimed it, he didn't know why he did it, but it came naturally to him. "You like to help people, don't you Cole?" John asked. "My name? Is Cole?" he said first. "Help people." He gave a nod. "Then help us." Dr. Cain said. "Kill her." He handed Cole a picture of Alice. He didn't recognize it. "She is bad." The doctor tricked. "She hurts people." Cole looked at the picture as his vision seemed changed, like seeing a screen. A red circle appeared around her face and flashed the word 'target'. Cole looked to Dr. Cain. "My name is Cole Blake." He said as his vision switched back to normal. "And I won't kill Alice." Dr. Cain looked at Cole. "You aren't a person anymore Cole."
Cole looked devastated as he took a few uneasy steps back. "You aren't human anymore." There was a stretch in Cole's neck as he dropped down, he jolted and his arms swelled with mutation, but on the inside. "You're mutating, Cole." Dr. Cain said. "You're cloths and weapons are in the next room, and the door outside will be open to you, you can escape and find Alice, but just think about the future." He ran out. Cole swallowed the rock in his throat as he watched his veins bubble. He closed his eyes and it opened to a fiery gold slit. "Alice."
