Chapter Two: A Method To The Madness
After she was dropped by the Black Hawk outside of Genvieve's warehouse, where she worked as a manufacturer, Anya lowered her gun and searched the area for civilians, with none in sight, Anya ran through the darkness of the night and approached the back entrance to the warehouse, and with a forceful kick, the door swung open.
The Russian model turned mercenary crept along the dark shadows of the building, searching for her target, Genvieve had to be around here somewhere.
Anya kept her gun beside her, ready to be raised should she come face to face with Aristide., so far, she saw no signs of life in the facility.
It wasn't long however, before Anya came to a room swallowed in darkness, thinking that Genvieve might be playing around with her, Anya crouched under the gate and slowly made her way into the area.
"Miss Aristide, are you in here?" Anya called but got no response, I have to stop volunteering for these ops, this is really creepy, Anya thought.
She was a woman who never liked being scared, and she certainly wasn't liking the way that this op was turning out.
Suddenly, Anya jumped at the sound of a music box, but she was relieved, maybe this meant that Aristide was finally cooperating.
Anya made her way to the sound and to her amazement found no one there, "Alright Aristide, if this is a joke, I'll make you regret it!" Anya shivered and dropped her gun when she saw who had entered the room, a little girl grasping a teddy bear made her way towards Anya, "Hi, what's your name, what are you doing here in this place?"
The little girl offered no response to the older woman's questions, instead, she kept walking towards her, backing her into a wall.
Finally Anya heard a voice come from the ghostly (or what seemed to Anya like a ghost) child, "Where's my baby?"
"Baby, I don't know where your baby is," as the child drew closer and lashed out at her, Anya raised and shot her gun and the girl disappeared.
Finally Anya saw someone approaching, she saw by the outline of the shadow that the person approaching was tiny though tall, but being aware of what had just happened, Anya pointed her reticle towards the approaching figure, but she was surprised when she saw Genvieve walking with the stance of the undead, "Genvieve, Anya Monzikova, I've been sent to escort you back to my team's base, if you will please follow me," Anya turned from the woman and started back the way she came and after a few feet were put between them, Anya turned back, "Come on Aristide, it's dangerous here."
To Anya's dismay, Genvieve turned to her to reveal that she had been turned into a zombie, who then started a slow walk towards her target.
Anya screamed and ran for the exit, only to find a dead end in its place, "You have no choice Anya," Came Aristide's creepy voice, "You will be my undead minion."
"Not if I have anything to say about it," Anya said raising her gun and firing fifteen rounds into Genvieve's heart, she then, fell in a heap on the floor.
