Part 7: Needs Meet the Must.
I said I would put up this next chapter by New Year, I did it just :s, well I hope you enjoy it and I promise I will at some point end up crashing into the third film anyway please review and I will respond with to any questions asked.
The voices came closer walking straight over me I just lay there hoping that if I laid still enough they would think I was dead so I could take them by surprise if needed but as I heard them walk over me I heard one of the men say to the other, "LJ it is you!" I felt like this was somehow bad news.
I then heard LJ said, "Who are you?"
"Willis," The man said, I tried to turn my head to see what was going on, I could see LJ shielding Alec, Jill and Angie while Alice stood in the corner quietly observing the situation, "You remember Betty King at least right?" I heard the man say again.
"Oh, yes I do," LJ said as he began to grin.
"Well wipe that grin of your face she's my sister," The man said while holding out his hand.
LJ grabbed his hand and was swiftly pulled to his feet, "Ah right is she still around?"
"Yeah she is but I don't think people around here are too fond of you Umbrella types," Willis said mercilessly.
"Actually we aren't," I said as I hauled myself upright, "Well Alec and I used to but they stabbed us in the…."
I then met the end of a knife pointed straight at me, "then you are the cause of our misery."
"Wow shit, why am I?" I asked.
"You work for those Devils you come and take our people promise help and salvation yet you send back pain and misery," He said as the anger in his face grew with every second he was looking at me, "Now we will get our revenge."
I saw him attempt to plunge his knife into my stomach but just as he did I saw the blade of the knife melt like chocolate, Willis recoiled in shock as I saw the molten metal melt straight through his shoe and burn him, "Fuck what the hell?" He exclaimed as he went in to punch me but his fist was stopped by a feminine hand.
"What the hell is going on?" I heard the woman speak.
"This runt works for Umbrella?" Willis told her.
She turned on me, "Is that true?"
"I used to."
She smiled at and turned aggressively back on Willis, "What the fuck were you thinking if they were really Umbrella do you think they would roll through here in an unarmoured car and with that little firepower?" She shouted while shifting herself onto one leg.
"No, but I didn't think," He tried to excuse himself.
"Damn right you didn't," She turned back on me and helped me to my feet, "Sorry about my idiot of a brother, he's been a little stressed recently," she then turned back on him, "You've let Detron's death go to your head and now look what's happened your attacking everyone who passes through here, how long before you piss Umbrella off and they come in and kill all our asses?"
Willis didn't say a word as he turned and left taking the other man with him, I looked over to Alec who was still lying on the floor, "Shit!" I darted over to her and put a lot of pressure on her wound and tried to feel her pulse it was practically non-existent and she wasn't breathing, "Fuck! You got anyone who can help her?" I asked the woman.
"Yeah get her in the house and we will help in any way we can it's my brother's fault it happened after all," She lead as LJ and I scooped Alec up while the others followed us into the woman's house.
"Mia! You're needed," The woman shouted as we entered the house.
I heard a thundering noise roll down the stairs, "Damn Betty why you…." I heard as the woman rolled around the corner, "Shit looks like I'm actually needed," she said as she flew right over to Alec and laid her down on the kitchen table, Mia looked her up and down, "right she's got a small incision in her carotid artery, serious but I think I can fix her up."
"And her breathing?" I asked.
She looked over to me and nodded, "Oh I can solve that easy," She looked back at Alec checked her airways and swung her arm up smashing Alec in the chest causing her to cough a horrendous amount of blood up covering the table in blood.
"Lovely," Carlos said as he looked around the house.
"Well it got her breathing again," Mia told him.
"How can we help?" Alice asked her.
"Right well you," She said while looking straight at me, "can go and grab me some morphine out of that cupboard over there, and you," looking over to Alice, "can go and get me the forceps and other metal ware out of that draw, the rest of you go make yourselves at home."
"Fine by me," Techno told her as he ushered Jill and Angie away to the other room where LJ and Betty already were, Carlos then cracked open a beer and followed.
"I'll go get the morphine," I said as I rushed over to the cupboard ripping open the doors, as I did a few rounds for a shotgun rolled out followed by the metallic clang of the thing falling off the rack, but picked up the shotgun to put it back on the rack when I noticed it was a Remington classic it had a patterned stock the wood was engraved, it obviously belonged to someone else but I still placed it back up, and found a small box I pulled it out and opened it inside were a set if syringes each was ten milligram ampules,, which could sedate a person for hours, I quickly grabbed the box and placed it on the table, Alice had already brought over the linen which contained some medieval metal ware, which Mia set about removing carefully selected pieces of, she pulled out a set of forceps and held them tightly in her hand she looked over to me and nodded.
"Right when I close the wound you give her the shot," she looked deadly serious, "got it?"
"Yeah I got it," I told her as I pulled the ampule from the case.
"Alice, hold her still," Mia told Alice. Mia looked around for a few seconds seeing where we were, she guided Alice where to hold and so Alice pinned Alec down by her head and lower arm as Mia clamped the wound causing Alec's lower body to jump when she did I plunged the needle deep into her upper arm, causing her to stop jolting around but I didn't check her pulse straight away luckily Mia did, "And we got her! She's there!" Mia shouted with joy.
"Yes, thank fuck for that," I exclaimed.
"You're telling me," Alice said with a sigh of relief as she let go of Alec's arm and head, she then walked towards the door where the others had gone through.
Mia picked up her arm and checked her pulse, "She's stable," She told me softly.
"So she'll pull through?" I replied.
"Yeah, she'll be fine," Mia answered while walking into the room that the others were in, but just as she was exiting the room she turned to face me, "She's actually kind of lucky to have a guy who cares as much as you."
"Yeah maybe, I just want us to actually have a better life than all this running from everyone you know?" I told her.
"Yeah I think you two will get your happily ever after some day," Mia said as she exited the room, strange how I had poured all my emotion out to a woman who I had only just met but then again only just meeting her meant she had no previous judgements. I pulled up one of the chairs at the kitchen table and sat next to Alec who was still unconscious on the table, I pulled up close as possible grabbed her hand and sat their with her hand in mine with my ring finger and pinky over her pulse I couldn't believe we had brought her back that far from the brink but then again she has the will to survive.
I don't know how long I was actually sat there next to her but it was long enough for everyone to have gone to bed, everyone that was except Alice and I. Alice entered to room with a resounding vigour she looked at me obviously not realising I was actually still up, "What are you still doing up?" I asked her.
"Nothing much just grabbing a few things before bed," She replied, "Why are you still up?"
"I'm not sleeping until I know she's okay, and anyway would what you're looking for be a shotgun, some slugs and the directions to the Umbrella facility?"
"No I….."
"Don't bullshit me Alice."
"Okay fine, we can't all go into the Umbrella place, we'll be executed," She began, "I could go in and out before they even knew I was there, then I'd come back here and we could move out in the morning."
I just stood and looked at her before I took a tentative step towards her, "You're right we can't all go but I'm going with you…"
"But….."
"No buts, I'm coming and you aren't going to stop me," I told her as I walked over to the cupboard, I put my hands around the handles and was just about to pull when I heard a moan from the table, I turned and could see Alec rolling around, "Alec!" I shouted as I ran over to her as I did she looked straight at me but more like she was burning through my soul, I touched her on the hand causing her to actually acknowledge me she began to stand up and move towards me, "Alec?" I questioned her as she walked towards me.
She turned her head askew as if she was trying to find a perfect place to strike me, "Alec?" questioned her again and she turned her head the other way and then let out an almighty scream which blew me backwards and as I stood back up I saw her begin to sprout tentacles out of her fingers, the black things quickly set about consuming her entire body, she then tried to reach out to me in a gesturing way but when I looked at the portion of her face that was still there I saw that she was in immense pain and was suffering, her out stretched hand then formed a fist and she raised it to punch at me but as she did I heard the pump action of a shotgun.
"No, you stupid…." I saw Alice readying her finger on the trigger.
Alec then turned on her and snatched the shotgun from her hands causing her to be pulled over, Alec the raised her fist to Alice, "Fuck no!" I shouted as I climbed up and Smashed my fist covered in the parasite deep into the tangled mess on Alec, I could feel the parasites moving like worms all around my hand, I then opened my fist inside the mess and felt Alec quickly slump down onto me, "easy girl," I said as she slumped onto my shoulder my other hand was now free of the mess as the tentacles retreated back inside Alec.
"What the hell was that?" Alice shouted at me.
"I don't know!" I snapped back.
"What happened?" Betty asked as her and everyone else walked back into the room.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter please review and tell me what you think, until next time
