Chapter 8: Shocking Return in the Underground

Lydia was the first to wake up; she slowly stood up and looked around the room, it was still secure. Breathing a sigh of relief she checked her watch, it was six-thirty in the morning.

'Earlier we start, the better our chances.' Lydia mused to herself.

She turned to Cashmere who was still sleeping. She knelt down and gently shook her shoulder.

Cashmere jerked awake, hand on her gun, but then relaxed when she saw Lydia. "Time to go?"

"Yeah; c'mon, let's grab what we need and see if we can find anything to help us out." Lydia replied.

Cashmere got up and they made sure their weapons were securely in place and fastened them and their packs with supplies were ready. They picked them up and began searching the store room, looking for anything that could help them. It was then Cashmere found something.

"Hey, check it out." She remarked, turning to face Lydia.

Lydia then saw what Cashmere was holding; a radio set and homing beacon.

Lydia smiled. "Perfect, we can use this to help Seth find us; but we need to tell him first and the jamming barrier around the city isn't gonna make it easy."

Cashmere nodded.

"There is a way; these barriers only operate at a certain range, from what I heard from the security forces here, we need to find the tallest building in the city and get to the top. We can send the message from there."

Lydia nodded; it was the better than nothing, the risks were great, but if it worked, they would finally have a way out.

They secured the radio and homing beacon in Lydia's pack and headed to the door; they removed the barricades and opened the door. They stepped out, guns drawn; they found nothing, but they weren't taking any chances. They began to slowly make their way through the underground tube station.

Lydia pondered. "You know, there could be a way out down here."

Cashmere nodded.

"Yeah, you're right; okay, we'll try and find a way out down here first; if we can't…We'll find the tallest building, once we get back to the surface."

So they continued onwards; keeping their eyes open for a possible way out. As they reached one of the stations they froze. Zombies were roaming around the area.

"You're kidding me." Cashmere whispered. "B.O.W.s down here too."

Lydia shook her head. "Great, any shots we have will echo and draw others to us."

However they soon had no choice as the zombies spotted them and began to charge towards the duo. They quickly opened fire and managed to kill them, but at great cost. Before long they could hear the shuffling of more zombies approaching.

"Great, here they come." Cashmere muttered. "Sounds like a fucking army of them."

"We probably made a mistake coming down here. I think they've made this place their nest…I don't see any way out yet. C'mon, we'll keep looking. There's still the other terminus."

Cashmere nodded and they began running; hoping to reach the other terminus before the zombies found them.

They reached the second terminus and found nothing but rubble; there was no way out this way.

"Well; nothing." Lydia remarked. "Guess we've only got one choice now. Let's find a way back to the surface…and find that building."

Cashmere nodded. "Easier said than done; here they come."

Sure enough the zombies began to arrive; entering through several doors and some even coming from the first terminus. They immediately moved back to back, ready to watch each other's back. They opened fire, trying to open up a gap so they could escape the pressing horde and find a way back to the surface. Finally; after expending enough bullets to empty two clips, they opened a gap and ran. They continued to fire in order to keep the zombies that got too close away. They made it to a door, leading to the staff service corridors; once inside they closed the door and pushed a shelving unit in front of it, holding it shut. They continued down the corridor when suddenly they heard heavy footsteps and quickly took cover. They watched in horror as; clearly wounded but definitely alive; Nosferatu stalked down one of the corridors. Both women held their breath and, praying it couldn't hear their hammering hearts, waited as it passed the room they were hiding in.

Luckily it passed without seeming to notice them and turned a corner. Once its footsteps were gone they left the room and hurried down the corridors, heading in the direction Nosferatu had already come from. They soon found how it got into the underground. It had simply broken in from the street above. Leaving a pile of rubble that looked high enough for them to climb up. They got to work climbing the rubble; silently grateful that nobody was about, their climbing meant that from below it was possible for a person to look up the skirts of their dresses.

Cashmere bit her lip as she thought to herself. 'Maybe we should've worn different clothes. Oh well, too late to worry about it now.'

Finally they reached the top and climbed out onto the street. They straightened up and verified it was all clear before stopping to catch their breath. Finally they straightened up.

"Well, we made it." Cashmere remarked. "So, I think that's our target."

She pointed to a building that towered over the others. Lydia nodded.

"That's right; let's go…We've got to hurry, who knows when Umbrella will blow this place to hell."

So they hurried down the street, ready to hurry to their intended destination.

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