My eyes popped open, and then suddenly, water rushed in.

I was drowning!

I pounded on the walls around me, hardly noticing that they surrounded me on all sides.

Help me!

I was desperate, banging my fists against the panels, feeling my lungs slowly filling. The next thing I knew, one of the panels raised open, and I fell hard on the ground. I took big gulps of air, barely noticing my surroundings, only that it was almost completely dark. A sharp pain pierced my fists, and it was only then that I noticed that they were bleeding, if the dark stains on my hands were any indication. Nothing that I could do about them now.

When I felt myself sufficiently calm enough, I raised my head, and realized that I wasn't alone in the room. A figure was standing in front of me, but all I could see was that it was an outline of a man. I didn't know if he came in as I was trying to breathe, or if he was there all along. All I knew was that I felt a sense of fear, and I suddenly became conscious of my nudity.

"Who are you?" I asked weakly, still not completely recovering from my ordeal. I raised one bloody hand to try to wipe the water in my eyes and see his face, but it didn't help. The darkness was too full, too intense that I could barely see his form at all.

"It doesn't matter," his voice broke through the silence, and a shiver ran down my spine. Instinctively, I knew that this man wasn't a friend. "The question is," he continued speaking, and I could swear that he was smiling in the darkness, "who are you?"

I was about to respond, when his question hit me fully.

Who am I?

Hi guys! Sorry for my lack of updates on the story. I promise I haven't abandoned it yet, things have just gotten really crazy in RL. I actually wrote this piece because I'm having trouble sleeping. Anyway, I'll try to post stuff as often as I can, but I can't really say it's going to be as quickly as I updated my older stories, so please bear with me and I apologize for this.

Anyway, the later chapters might be even shorter than this, I can't tell yet, but since it's going to follow what happened to Jill in RE5, there will be chapters which will definitely be shorter than others. I don't want to cram so many things in a chapter just to make it longer when it really deserves a separate section for it. And yes, I'm still trying to make this follow the canon as closely as possible, so there's a point why Jilly's having temporary amnesia.:P

Anyway, I'm also already trying to work out the plot for the sequel to "Walk in the Darkness", I already have a general idea on how it's going to go, but I haven't really thought of the nitty-gritty yet. Will post stuff about it as soon as I get clear ideas on how to go on about it.

Thanks for those who've left reviews! Please do let me know what you think about the flow of the story so far, I always love to hear from you guys.:)
