Chapter 13: The True Enemy

They entered the lab cautiously; they knew that apart from Francis they were the only uninfected people in the city. As they moved slowly through the lab; they could hear a muffled voice, it sounded like Francis' voice.

"We don't have time for this." Lydia remarked. "We need to get to that building; we need to hurry through here and get out the other side of this place."

Cashmere however glared. "Not until I make that scumbag suffer for what he's done."

With that Cashmere began to walk towards the source of the voice. Lydia and Shayla quickly followed her. They ended up chasing Cashmere through a maze of corridors; towards a large lab room near the rear of the building. Desperate and left with no choice Lydia grabbed Cashmere, pinning her arms and pulling her back, out of sight.

"Let me-MRUFF!" Cashmere began to scream before Lydia quickly covered her mouth.

Lydia shook her head. "I get you're angry Cashmere; but we need to think clearly. Chasing this guy might just lead us into another trap. We need to focus on getting out of here. Do you understand?"

Cashmere slowly calmed down and nodded; Lydia let her go and Cashmere took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, I just…"

Lydia nodded in understanding.

It was then they saw Shayla, she was kneeling down, spying through the lab window.

"Mom, Cashmere, look at this." She whispered.

They knelt down and slowly approached the window and looked through it.

Francis was inside the lab; he was smiling, his eyes shone madly.

"Finally." He breathed. "Finally, it is time; now I know the virus works. Gillian, my sister; soon we will be reunited. Now, I shall bring you back to me."

They watch as he approached a covered medical table; the other tables and the objects on the tables obscured their view of who or what was on it. He raised a vial containing the virus, secured in a syringe and lowered it. They couldn't see what he was doing, but he was clearly using it, injecting whoever was on the table. He stepped back, watching intensely. Finally, after a few minutes his expression became one of glee. As they watched, from the medical table a figure stood up. Her age was indeterminate, somewhere in her thirties; she was Caucasian with a slender hair, waist length blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a light blue ankle length dress and blue heels. The women know that this had to be Gillian; Gillian Biggs; Francis' sister. She had clearly been resurrected by the virus, apparent when her eyes flared red before turning blue again. She glared at Francis, who was still looking gleeful.

"What is this?" She asked; her voice sounded cold, distant, almost ethereal.

Francis walked forwards; closer to her. "Sister; it's me…Your brother; I did it; I've brought you back to me. Now, we can stop Umbrella from destroying this place and make it our utopia. Then we can show that company that they were wrong, foolish to try and stop us."

Francis stood smirking, but Gillian's face remained emotionless.

Gillian then suddenly glared; she stepped closer to Francis, the smirk suddenly disappearing from his face.

"You insolent fool." She snarled. "Do you think someone like you is even worthy of sharing power with me."

Then, before Francis could say anything, Gillian suddenly thrust her hand upwards, impaling Francis. She then threw him across the room, discarding him, he was dead. It was then a sudden familiar rumbling caught the trio's attention. Before they could react however the ground beneath them gave way. They fell into the basement area; luckily they had braced themselves, so the landing turned out to be not as bad as it could have been. They shakily got to their feet; it was then they saw the Gulp Worm. It had emerged here; now they had no choice, they had to fight it. They immediately pulled out strong weapons, namely shotguns and submachine guns. They immediately opened fire as the Gulp Worm lunged at them. The force of the attacks forced it to veer away, missing them. It scraped along the ground. When it stopped and turned back to face them they saw, to their relief, that it had somehow got a propane tank caught in its jaws.

"Perfect, eat this asshole." Cashmere taunted.

They fired and exploded the tank. The Gulp Worm reared but was still alive.

Shayla then spotted something. "There are two more tanks down here; we can use them."

The others nodded in agreement and they prepared to get to work.

They found it was actually harder than they originally thought to lure the Gulp Worm near the propane tanks. Indeed they only just managed to get it to catch the second one and now it was not going anywhere near the last one. They had to keep warding it off with shots as it tried to prevent them from reaching the third tank.

"We can't keep this up forever." Lydia remarked. "Might be time to change our plans."

Cashmere rolled her eyes as she blasted the Gulp Worm with her shotgun. "Any volunteers?"

Despite the question being rhetorical, Shayla replied, for she actually had a plan.

"One of us should act as bait, draw its attention; then the others can get to the propane tank and then…Since it won't come to tank, we take the tank to it. Throw it in its mouth and then, finish it off."

Cashmere and Lydia were shocked, the plan was crazy, yet the best they had so they gave it a try. Shayla acted as the decoy and soon drew the beast's attention towards her. Lydia and Cashmere hurried over to the tank and waited. Shayla led the beast around until it was facing the tank again. It stopped and roared; they took that opportunity to throw the tank and, to their great relief it landed in the Gulp Worm's mouth. Shayla took the shot and exploded the tank, this time taking the Gulp Worm with it. The dead body flailed until it hit the ground and lay still.

Relieved at their victory they quickly reloaded and Lydia nodded.

"Let's go; we have wasted enough time." Lydia remarked. "Let's get out of here and head to that building."

The others nodded and followed her as they made it back to the main floor. They then froze, as standing facing them with a small dark smile on her face, was Gillian.

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