Chapter 17: Escape
They hurried through the streets, relieved to finally be free of Gillian's constant pursuit. As they ran Shayla noticed Cashmere's breathing becoming more erratic; worried she turned to her mother.
"Mom, I'm worried Cashmere might…collapse again."
Lydia nodded. "It's okay Shayla, Cashmere, you alright?"
Cashmere nodded in reply. "I'll be okay, I just…"
"Keep it together okay, just a bit longer, we're nearly there." Lydia reassured her.
Cashmere nodded again and they continued onwards. They were only two streets away; but the fight against Gillian had wasted a lot of time for them. They now only had half an hour to escape. Therefore they were not as aware of their surroundings as usual. This resulted in Lydia being leapt on from behind and falling to the ground, pinned by an adult Albinoid.
"Mom!" Shayla cried; she dared not open fire, in case she hit her mother.
Lydia struggled to hold off the Albinoid but finally Shayla was able to rush in and strike it with her metal baseball bat. The creature let out a small shriek as fell off Lydia. Lydia leapt up and wasted no time firing at it. It took the hits and died as it tried to attack again. Lydia quickly reloaded and nodded to the others, they took off again, heading for the town square, so close to escaping.
They finally reached the town square and, to their great relief, saw the chopper hovering above. They could just make out Seth in the pilot's seat. But then their hearts sank; he couldn't land and they couldn't get to the chopper without great risk; the town square was occupied by a horde of zombies.
"Dammit, we're not getting out of here until we wipe them out." Cashmere remarked bitterly.
Lydia nodded. "Just hope we have enough ammo, let's go."
They stepped out of cover and into the town square. They immediately opened fire, drawing the attention of the zombies. Despite the zombies closing in on them, the women were undeterred and continued to fire at them. When they were in danger of being attacked however they quickly moved. Ducking and dodging the zombie's attempts to grab them, before resuming fire.
"Keep going, we're nearly there." Lydia cried out. 'We've gotta hurry, we're running out of time.'
They continued to open fire. Dodging when necessary until finally, with their last bullets they killed the last of the zombies.
"Finally." Cashmere breathed in relief; she turned and waved up to the chopper. "Seth, c'mon, it's all clear!"
They stepped back and waited as Seth brought the chopper down. They quickly climbed aboard and Seth began to take off.
As they flew away they saw the approach of the missiles and in moments the city was reduced to a smouldering crater. Lydia sighed and got to work treating Shayla's burns. Meanwhile Cashmere smiled grimly.
"Looks like things weren't a complete waste; look what I got a hold of." She stated.
She reached into her pocket and pulled out a vial. She then explained. "The T-Veronica Virus, another sample we can use against Umbrella."
The others all smiled; they knew they could continue the fight, they also knew that Jason was indeed alive. For now however, they were satisfied that they were alive and were going home.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
