J.L.: Alright, rolling right to this chapter from the last. This is mainly a flashback chapter really, or something? You all know the main character never dies until the end. -7/5/07, I apologize for the abrupt cliffhanger/haitus there was on this for a while. Life hit me,and then next thing I know, it's party time, gotta get rid of the cabin fever. So, here's chapter five, chapter six is in works, and I know the rest of the storyline, so I will finish this, I promise.
"Chris." I called out as he headed towards the left mansion room door. He stopped and turned towards me. I was kind of lost for words. "Take care." I managed to voice out. He merely waved and continued walking off.---
There was light. My mother was kneeling beside the couch I was laying on. I glanced up her and smiled, then frowned.
"You're dead." I muttered. She smiled and removed the cool towel from my forehead.
"Yes honey, please relax." She said, her voice smooth and mellow as I remembered it from my childhood. I closed my eyes then opened them again.
"Am I dead?" I asked.
"Not...quite. You've got to relax, you'll die if you don't." Her voice came through, deepening severly. I saw her face melt away to that of Wesker's. I tried to back away, but I was frozen in place.
"Wesker?!" I asked, fear building up in me as the towel changed to a gun.
"Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you." Wesker said pointing the gun right at me and smiling.
"Scum!" I weakly cried out, and suddenly, the face melted away to that of Nemesis, and real fear gripped me.
"JILL..." It growled, it's permanent smile cutting through my desire to live like a serrated knife.
"P-please...no-not you..." I spoke softly closing my eyes.
The helicopter was flying towards the clock tower, towards me. I was leaving this hellhole, I was escaping. I saw the pilot's face just as the rocket hit the helicopter.---
When I opened my eyes, it was my father sitting there. I didn't know what to say. I had not seen him since he went to prison.
"Come on Jill, you can pull through this." He said, but not in his voice.
"Dick." I acknowledged my father, Dick Valentine.
"That's not nice..." He said, again not in his voice. Then Joseph walked up and stood next to him, that stupid bandana still wrapped around his head. His clothes were tattered and he was missing huge chunks of his flesh from the Cerberus.
"Come on Jill, wake up and stop mumbling." Joseph said, but not in his voice either.
"I am awake...but...are you sure I'm not dead? This cannot be just...this isn't real." I said. Forest walked up with Kenneth. Forest had large tears in his skin with feathers stuck in his clothes and several bullet holes in his body. Kenneth was carrying his own head.
"No, you aren't dead. The dead do not speak." Kenneth said in someone else's voice. Edward and Richard walked up. Edward had jagged tears in his flesh and bullet holes riddling his body. Richard had a large snake bite torn in his shoulder and several shark teeth stuck in his body.
"You are dead...all of you." I said as Enrico walked up, a single bullet hole in his chest. Brad walked in with a tenticle wriggling in his head through his mouth. Mikail walked up, his body having a huge shredded hole gouged in it with bits of shrapnel stuck in it. They all started to blur as darkness started fading in.
"No, I am not." Corrected the same voice that was in place of the others, a form emerging from the darkness. It was that of a youthful man, his trademark green vest and spikey brown hair, a cigarette perched in his cocky mouth.
"I'm sorry." I muttered as he walked up and kneeled down. I was still unable to move from the couch.
"What for?" He asked.
"I never told you how I felt...so I deserve this." I answered.
"Deserve what Jill?" He asked, his voice a bit more bolder.
"You are a prick to me now. Everyone hates me because I didn't throughly check to see who I really was looking for. I just wanted to go back to before Umbrella screwed up. I thought that if I could just see you again, and steal the information on Umbrella, then everything would go back." I spoke, everything starting to haze. I tried to reach up and touch his face, but I still couldn't move.
"You work too hard. Just relax and let yourself heal. I'll watch you, make sure the virus doesn't get you." He said and all faded to black.
The hum of the helicopter blades resounding in the air was that of hope and loss. My head rested on the shoulder of the man who had freed me from my cell. Sleep was overcoming me little by little as Brad asked what had happened. Rebecca was already out, sleeping heavily and alive thanks to Chris as well. Barry was cleaning out his gun. And Chris, he was sitting back, calming down from the fight with the tyrant. It was over, we'd take our case to the police, Umbrella would go down, and everything would return to normal.---
I opened my eyes to that of a dark room. I sat up in a bed, not a luxurious one, but a real bed. My head started throbbing immediatly and I fell back, gripping my head with my hands as heat and pain shot through.
"AHHH!" I yelled in pain, and rolled to my side, tears coming forth. The pain suddenly subsided as cool water trickled atop my head. I opened my eyes and looked up to see Chris standing there with a towel, squeezing the water out onto my head. I closed my eyes again. Welcome back Jill, scum of the earth. I groaned and sat up.
"Thought you were dying." He muttered, kneeling down beside me and offering a canteen. I took it and drank the crisp cool water. How did he get cool water like this in the desert...wait, we must be near the court, where the oasis is. Near the cont-stop that. No more thinking about your job Jill. I looked at Chris.
"Me too. Where did you get this water at?" I asked.
"I went out and found it." He answered. I handed the canteen back to him. I then remembered the wound on my hip and looked down, pulling up my shirt a bit. The wound was gone. Chris held out his hand, a small glint of silver in it.
"What the..."I muttered, and took the small object from his hand.
"Seems that with the virus, your body heals itself after a while...and I found this lying next to you. It was once a bullet from my assault rifle. I accidentally shot you in the sewers." He explained. I held the mishappen lump of metal up and flicked it aside. I looked back at Chris and rested my head against his.
"We've got a lot to talk about when we get out of here." I admitted. Chris didn't back away.
"Your contact dropped a present off for you." He said, and held up a vial. Containing the anti-virus. Thank you Wong. I can finish up the-stop that.
"Chris, we have to give this to the guy with the information on Umbrella. I don't think that it'll be a nice exchange though. I-" I started but stopped. Just enjoy this moment Jill. Here you are resting your forehead on Chris's forehead in the middle of nowhere with nothing disrupting it. I smiled a little, looking right into his eyes, confusion set in them. "I'll play as bait. I trust you have my back right?" I asked.
"I can do that." He muttered, closing his eyes and nuzzling his face next to mine.
"What's with the change in additude towards me? Don't think I'm a traitor anymore?" I asked, my face coming to rest at the crook of his neck.
"You talk in your sleep. Apparently I'm a dick, scum and a prick to you." He answered. So...I really was talking in my sleep. That's explains the voice.
"Actually, Dick is my father's name..." I admitted, smiling wider as Chris's arms wrapped a little bit around me, as if unsure what to think.
"Yeah yeah, I forgot. No more fainting on me okay?" He asked as I wrapping my arms around him to return the hug.
"No more shooting me okay?" I teased, nuzzling my face a little.
"No more working for Wesker, or any of this freelance bullshit for that matter." He retorted.
"No more hiding from me." I spoke and smiled as wide as I could. I have my Chris back.
"I mean it Jill, no more freelance, you answer to me now." He said, and I backed away, smirking.
"Fine by me." I agreed.
J.L.: Yeah, I know it's a shorter chapter, but work with me on this one. If you hadn't noticed I tried recalling every single S.T.A.R.S. personel death. Was hard to do Richard, since if you get him the serum, he gets chomped down by Neptune. I couldn't have a zombie shark just walk up now could I? I cannot remember if I got everyone. Anyways, sorry for the lack of Rebecca, but she just kinda disappears after RE1. I'm thinking she's working on a cure for the t-virus in a lab somewhere or something...I don't know. Also, some of you may be a bit surprise on the final boss, yes, final boss in here.
