Chapter 13: Elsie's Gruesome End

09:00 AM 12th May 1995

The survivors listened eagerly as Elsie and Trevor spoke over the radio.

"Your evac has arrived Elsie." Trevor stated. "Yes sir," She replied, "I'll head over to the hospital right away."

The group smiled at each other, the chopper was at the hospital. However their smiles soon vanished when Trevor spoke again.

"Hurry, I'm initiating plan XX to contain the virus in Raccoon City. Soon missile will strike and the city will be nothing more than a smoking crater."

"Yes sir." Elsie replied, just then the radio call ended and they knew they had to move.

"Let's go, I doubt we'll get their before Elsie and we don't wanna have to wait to get stuck, especially not with those missiles coming here." Lisa stated and they began to run to the hospital.

As they ran however all the strenuous effort and hardships finally caught up with Jacob and he collapsed. Lisa turned back to him.

"Jacob, come on." She called out desperately, he shook his head, "I can't make, sorry you guys."

Lisa however shook her head, "You're getting out of here. There is no way in hell I'm leaving you behind."

With that she lifted Jacob up so that he was on her back and began to carry him as the group continued to the hospital.

They arrived just in time to see Elsie hurry inside.

"C'mon, we've gotta follow her." Lydia called out but suddenly a roar caught their attention.

They stopped just in time as two large mutated Lickers appeared.

"Not good!" Carl yelled as the group readied their weapons, Lisa set Jacob down in a safe spot and told him to try and recover.

They immediately opened fire but these two Lickers were faster than the others, despite their larger size. Suddenly one of them lunged forwards forcing the group to dodge. They continued to open fire but only seemed to be infuriating their enemies. Suddenly one of the Licker's shot out its tongue and wrapped it around Lisa's legs. She winced and the rough tongue scared her bare thighs. Rather than pull her over however it waited. Then suddenly the second Licker leapt up onto a lamppost and shot out its tongue, wrapping it around Lisa's neck. She choked and gasped as the tongue strangled her while at the same time both Lickers tried to pull her apart. Lydia ran over quickly and, thinking fast she fired a point blank shotgun blast into the tongue around Lisa's legs, causing it to let go. The Licker howled in pain before Carl finally killed it. Seeing what was happening Jacob found the strength to stand up and grabbed the nearest thing he could, a stone. He threw it as hard as he could and caught the Licker on the side of the head. This distracted it and made it loosen its grip. Lisa immediately wriggled free and opened fire on that large Licker, finally killing it.

Lisa fought to catch her breath as the others regrouped. Jacob came up to her.

"Are you okay?" He asked, concerned, she smiled at him, "I am now, thanks to you. Are you ready to get outta here?"

He nodded and with renewed enthusiasm the group headed into the hospital. What they saw however surprised them, the entire lobby had been taken over by a large plant type monster, going by the list they had seen earlier this had to be Plant 42. They then saw that its vines had entangled Elsie and as they watched the vines tightened until they heard a sickening crack. The vines released Elsie's now lifeless body and the plant turned its attention to the survivors. It lashed out with its vines and they were forced to jump out of the way.

"Guys, this is a super B.O.W." Carl yelled, "We're not gonna beat this thing unless we come up with some sort of plan!"

"We have to find shelter, quickly through that door." Lydia called out and, avoiding the attacks they made it through the door and found themselves going down to the basement.

Much to their surprise the basement of the hospital housed both a library and a laboratory. Judging from the state the place was in and the symbols on the walls both were run by Umbrella and had been quickly evacuated. Lisa began looking around.

"C'mon guys, maybe we can find something here that can help us against that plant."

The others also began looking, hoping for anything that would help them out, they knew they were running out of time as the missiles would be approaching at any minute. By spreading out and covering more round however they managed to find what they were looking for, details on Plant 42 as well as its weakness, a chemical called V-JOLT.

"Look, there are even instructions on how to make it." Lydia commented, "We can use the lab here and make this thing, then we can take down that plant."

So they got to work and finally, after careful work they had the V-JOLT in their hands. They quickly hurried back upstairs, ready to confront the plant and finally escape the hellish city of nightmares.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
