--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The four of you stood up and walked passed the disaster Luis created. You covered your mouth with your hand feeling yourself gag once again. Strange how you could watch thriller movies and play Resident Evil 4 with out a single sickening face, but once you see it in real life you immediately looked away.

Leon looked around seeing that the coast was clear and continued through the bushes and into the village. The small village seemed partially normal yet contained an evil aura. You followed Leon through the village, scared that something might pop out of nowhere.

As if your thoughts were answered, an infected woman came out from a cabin with a pitchfork in her hand. Luis quickly shot her in the leg making her fall to the ground as Leon shot her in the head.

The four of you continued around shooting lonely villagers as they tried to attack.

"Well split up to cover more ground," Leon ordered. "Jessica can go with Luis while __________ can come with me."

Everyone nodded as you went your separate ways. Leon kicked open a door walking in and aiming side to side. He nodded for you to come in. You walked in behind him, looking around for any significance. Leon did the same.

You walked around the small house. Suddenly you noticed an odd picture frame hanging from the wall. The photo in the frame was rotting yet you could still make out the photo.

"Hey, Leon check this out," you told him as you looked at the weird photo, analyzing every detail.

Leon came up from behind you also looking at the photo. A beautiful woman stood there with a sadistic look in her eyes.

She held a skull in her hand. You couldn't tell the color of her skin or hair from the old photo effect.

"Who is she?" you asked to no one in particular. Suddenly a thought popped into your head. "Could she be Rivera?"

"Could be," Leon replied. "C'mon we should keep searching."

You took one last look at the photo then continued walking around. There was no importance in the house besides that only photo. The both of you walked out from a second house also finding nothing.

"Find anything?" Jessica asked, her arms crossed over her chest. You shook your head.

"How about you?" Leon asked.

"Nothing," Luis replied.

"Well we did find a photo of some woman, she could be Rivera..." you remarked. "Shall we continue on?" Luis and Leon nodded and walked ahead.

You sighed and dragged your feet along. You felt tired of walking after all that's all you've been doing since you woke up. Back home you weren't this active.

"Hey, look," Jessica announced as she pointed towards a destroyed building. You walked towards the pile of ruble seeing a large statue of a cross under a pile of stone.

"I guess they weren't religious," you remarked and looked back at the group.

"This looks freshly destroyed," Luis stated, kneeling down in front of the ruble. You let out an annoyed sigh. Nothing really seemed to make sense anymore.

"Why would they destroy a church?" Jessica asked. Luis shrugged.

"Maybe they wanted to get rid of religion," you said sarcastically.

"Maybe," Leon replied.

Suddenly evil laughter was heard throughout the area, echoing through the wind, a woman's laughter. Leon and Luis took out their guns getting ready for what is to come. Leon pushed you behind him as Luis went in front of Jessica.

"Futile mortals," a deep woman's voice was heard. "I'm astonished to see you still alive." Her voice held a small Spanish accent that was well known. Her voice echoed but there was no sign of her.

"Show yourself!" Leon commanded. Laughter was then heard again.

"Now's not the time darlings," she replied.

"Is she invisible or something?" you whispered.

"What the eyes don't see, are feared by many," she said as she let out a short laugh.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Jessica asked.

"Who are you?" Luis asked ignoring Jessica's question.

"Who am I? Should I tell you? Decisions, decisions..."

"Stop fucking toying with us!" you snapped.

"My, do you have a mouth," she laughed. "Maybe I should teach you a lesson for keeping your mouth shut while speaking with me." You kept your mouth shut and coward behind Leon. Who knew where she was, and you really didn't want to take a chance.

"What do you want?" Leon asked shifting his eyes side to side.

"Just came to check my favorite intruders, I see you two found some company," she replied. "They wont help you though."

"Not like we had a choice! We were attacked by my whole town!" you shouted tears stinging your eyes. She let out a maniac laugh.

"My best plan yet...though you four are still living, what a pity." You could just imagine the smirk on her face.

"You were the one who brought the Las Plagas here didn't you?" Luis asked.

"So you've noticed? Interesting..." she said softly. "And what do you plan to do about it? Shoot me with your pathetic guns?"

You narrowed your eyes, glaring at thin air. If she were here right now you would have tackled her down, punched her until your arms were numb. She ruined your whole vacation, forced Leon and Luis to kill family and friends and now you were in the middle of nowhere.

"Who are you working for!" Leon surprisingly shouted.

"Working for? Well I once worked for Saddler..." she answered.

"You were a follower-" Luis asked.

"Ex-follower," she cut him off. "What a fool he was..."

"Fool? But you followed him," you said confused.

"Indeed I did, but I never took part in his malicious plans and his idiotic religion. I just watched as he played with the American."

"You watched the whole time?" Jessica asked.

"You could say it was quite amusing seeing the American foil his plans. Although if I was in charged that wouldn't have happened."

Leon glared at the air. You still continued to look around, but there was absolutely no sign of her. Was she talking through telepathically? No, that sort of hocus-pocus wasn't real? Or so you thought.

"But obviously why would a man let a woman in charge? No, instead he let my ignorant little brother be second in command...Leon I do thank you for taking Salazar's life." She laughed once again.

'Salazar was her brother?!'
