Resident Evil
by Snow Tigra and Chibi Shi-Chan
Part 6
Heero approached the body cautiously, the same way he
would have had it been an actual person who was still
standing and breathing. However this body wasn't
moving, it just lay sprawled out across the floor, its
arms bent like that of a tossed rag doll and a bloody
wound where the blood had begun to clot on one side of
its chest. Heero paused just out of reach and knelt
down to get a better look at the body.
"Who is it?" Quatre whispered softly.
"No one we know," Heero murmured. Frowning the former
Wing pilot noticed a security tag sticking out from
just under the body. He moved forward cautiously and
reached for the tag, meaning to see who the
unfortunate body was.
He closed his fingers over the slick plastic and
snapped it off the top of the pocket, bringing it
forward to read. His eyes scanned the small writing
below the man's picture. "A maintenance worker it
seems. Leon...Redfield." Heero shrugged and dropped
the tag, standing back up. But as he moved he felt
something catch his wrist.
His eyes widened in surprise and disbelief as he
realized the corpse's hand was now latched around his
wrist. His voice caught in his throat and he
forcefully yanked his hand away, stumbling back toward
the others.
All four boys watched in amazement as the corpse shook
on the ground. Was it alive? It couldn't have
possibly been, not with a wound like that! But still
the corpse struggled to its feet, its arms hanging
limply at its sides while it limped and attempted to
stand and move toward them.
Even Heero found his hands trembling as he backed
away. His eyes locked on the worker and he wasn't
sure what to do. His mission was to find Noin and
Zechs and discover what had gone wrong. That mission
didn't cover people coming back from the dead and
walking toward you with possible hostile intentions.
For that matter, his prior training didn't cover it
either. He couldn't decide what to do...if he shot the
person and he wasn't already dead he'd be killing an
innocent but if he didn't...
All eyes darted to the hallway in front of them as
they heard strange squishing sounds, only to discover
three more once-human creatures limp into sight.
"What the hell are they?" Wufei choked out, pointing his gun at the first but still not able to shoot.
Quatre's voice shook. "They're just like the dog... I can't feel anything from them. They have to be dead!"
"Then how are they still walking?" Trowa asked.
The first reached them easily and dove forward,
seeking to close in the distance between predator and
prey, its teeth bared and spit flying from its mouth.
It was in that second that Heero made his choice and
fired, causing the creature to stumble backward from
the force of the bullet. He quickly fired three more
shots before giving pause, only to discover that it
didn't seem phased.
Heero didn't hesitate. He fired again and again until
the first creature dropped to the ground and twitched
for a few moments, then ceased moving.
"Seven shots," he murmured as a mental note. They took seven shots to kill.
Almost as if on cue the other boys started shooting,
firing at the three which were still approaching.
Heero reloaded his gun and was about to join in when a
scream echoed through the halls, sending a shiver down
his spin.
Duo!
"Cover me!" He yelled, sprinting right for the
remaining three creatures. He ignored the bullets
still flying from their guns, instead he concentrated
on the rotting hands reaching for him as he dropped
into a roll and passed under their feet. Jumping back
up he raced down the hallway, his mind only on one
thing...
Duo.
He'd never heard Duo scream before, and he didn't like the sound of it.
**
The thing on the ceiling didn't give Duo any warning.
Just as the scream tore through his throat it pounced,
dropping from its perch on the ceiling and flying
toward Duo with its claws gleaming in the bright
florescent light. Duo stumbled back to the ground and
landed hard, yelping in pain. He attempted to raise
his gun and fire but the creature darted forward,
knocking the weapon away with its sharp claw while
cutting a deep slash into Duo's hand.
Duo hissed in pain and tried to crawl backward, but he
found he could barely move. All he could do was stare
at the thing moving toward him, struggling to breathe.
He'd never seen anything like it in his life. The
thing looked so close to a human, and yet so far away
it was terrifying and disgusting at the same time. It
was as if someone had skinned another human alive and
this was the result. No eyes could be seen, instead
there was only a massive pulsating brain which served
as most of its head as the thing clicked across the
floor toward him, its claws scraping against the
floor.
Its head came close to Duo and he managed to unfreeze
enough to kick it away, but that only made the
creature hiss loudly and move quicker. Suddenly,
without warning, a long razor sharp tongue shot forth
from its mouth, stabbing into Duo's left shoulder.
Duo cried out in pain and tried to kick the creature
away, but this time it jumped forward and landed on
top of him; pinning him to the ground.
He couldn't move. All he could do was stare at this
thing which was holding him down. He could
practically see his life flash before his eyes as it
hissed hungrily...
Then there was a loud shot and the head exploded.
Duo blinked in confusion and shock as the head before
him exploded and covered him, the body growing limp
and dropping on top of him. He heard footsteps racing
toward him and someone call out his name, then the
body of the creature was pulled away to reveal Heero
standing over him, panting with a worried look on his
face.
Duo hiccuped as his body began to shake, dropping into
shock. He couldn't think. What had that thing been?
What the fuck was it? What kind of fucked up person
would create such a monster? He couldn't move, his
arms and legs not responding at all to his mind. All
he could do was shake and shiver as the horrifying
scene he'd just witnessed replayed over and over in
his mind.
He was barely even aware of Heero dropping down next
to him and pulling him into his arms, trying to comfort him.
