Chapter 5: New B.O.W.s

Almost immediately the Nosferatu charged at the two women. They leapt to the side, dodging its charge. They quickly recovered and took aim; only to have to dodge again as the bladed appendages lashed out at them.

"Shit." Cashmere growled.

Lydia glared. "Great; just what we need an opponent that can attack us from any direction."

The monster suddenly turned to face her and charged towards her; using two of the bladed appendages to attack. The third lashed out behind it; towards Cashmere. She ducked while Lydia dodged out of the way of the attack. It was hard however and she only narrowly avoided the bladed appendages. She realized just how close it was as one nearly ripped her dress, the second coming within inches of her face. As she moved however she saw something. An idea then occurred to her; she signalled to Cashmere; they fired a few shots. The Nosferatu barely flinched but the distraction was enough. They both moved out of sight and took cover, regrouping.

"Great, just how are we supposed to deal with this thing?" Cashmere asked. "Those blades make it impossible to get close to it; so my shotguns are useless; thought they might be useless anyway."

Lydia then explained what she had seen. "We can use our surroundings; see those areas there?" She pointed them out. "Lure it to attack us there; that will trap the blades. Use those explosives to stun it. Then we can finish it off with that."
She pointed out one last thing and Cashmere nodded; their plan was set.

They made their move, coming out of their hiding place; they opened fire as they moved. Hitting some of the explosive barrels they made the Nosferatu stagger as the explosions hit it. They soon reached their goal and in a rage the Nosferatu lashed out. The two bladed appendages used struck the very locations the women had hoped and they had successfully dodged. After repeating the process with the third and final blade they had the creature trapped. It was then Lydia aimed and fired at the cables supporting a large collection of freight. The bullet struck and the freight fell; burying the Nosferatu with crushing force. There was no motion and it seemed the Nosferatu was dead. They turned their aim and attention to Francis who was still on the balcony. His face was stark white and he was furious.

"You…how dare you think you can get away with this." He growled. "So be it; you will perish here…Once I show you just what I'm capable of."

With that he turned and fled towards a door at the back of the warehouse. A matching door could be seen on the floor Lydia and Cashmere was on.

"Let's follow him." Cashmere suggested. "Maybe he'll lead us to a way out…if not, maybe we can make him show us the way out."

Lydia nodded. "Alright, let's go; I don't want to risk that thing still being alive and getting free. It will be beyond pissed off."

Cashmere nodded in reply to that and they hurried over to the door.

The moment they opened it however they saw themselves facing more Umbrella security forces.

"There they are. Stop them; they must not reach Master Francis!" One of them bellowed; much to the women's surprise. "Open fire."

They took aim and did so; forcing Lydia and Cashmere to take cover.

"Did I hear them right?" Cashmere questioned. "I thought that guy betrayed Umbrella; why are they helping him?"

Lydia sighed. "Either they don't yet know he's betrayed them, or these soldiers are actually loyal to him and have also betrayed Umbrella."

"Make's sense; well, I guess it doesn't matter." Cashmere replied. "Let's just deal with them get after the guy."

Lydia nodded. They quickly returned fire on their attackers. As the soldiers tried to take cover; the two women continued their attack. Before they could finish off the soldiers however the soldiers were suddenly attacked. The strange attackers were red skinned infected salamanders, designated Albinoids by Umbrella. They continued to eat into the soldiers and the duo decided to use it to their advantage. They hurried onwards, trying to get through the door at the end. But as they reached it the Albinoids turned their attention to them. Acting quickly they hurriedly escaped the hall and closed the door behind them, barricading it. They caught their breath, reloaded and immediately continued out of the warehouse.

They looked around and soon spotted Francis turning a corner at the end of the street ahead.

"Quickly, after him!" Cashmere cried.

Lydia nodded and they quickly pursued him. They knew they could not let him get away and hurried to keep him in sight. He was there best chance at finding a way out of the city and escaping the quarantine and the destruction that was sure to come. Destruction that Francis seemed oblivious too. Unbeknownst to them however they were being watched; a shadowy stranger stood on the rooftops watching them as they followed Francis.

'They're walking right into more danger. They have to see that.' The figure thought to themselves. 'I'll need to keep watching them a bit longer.'

With that he continued along the rooftops; keeping an eye on the duo as they chased their target.

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