Resident evil Requiem 9
"Looking at a Ghost"
The room was dark as Leon heads in. It was quiet as well almost to quiet. He walks cautiously as he looks at the test tubes. Each one had something that once looked like a human. He passed by one when something catches his eye. First off it looked like a human. He walks closer as the person just looks frozen in time. Her hair flowing behind her like ink poured in the water. Her arms was across her chest like she was placed that way. His brows furrows as he looked like he was looking at a ghost. For 12 years he had thought she had died when the c virus was released.
"Monica?"
His voice was low but echoed in the room. It almost sounded unreal. He takes his flashlight and shines it on the metal plaque on the tube. Sure enough it said "Monica Rin"
He starts to look around on how he could get her out of it. All in while his mind is trying to wrap around everything. He saw this control panel close to the door. He walks over there as he puts the key in and turns it. Lights come on as the machines come to life. Then came the zombies. After what felt like an hour with Leon's strength failing him. The zombies was down and he could take a breath. He reloads his gun as he walks over to the test tube Monica was in he walks up close to it as he looks for anything he could do to get her out. When he saw a button close by he pressed it as the machine comes alive. The water starts to drain as her body starts to fall. The door opened as he catches her just before she hits the ground. Her wet black hair was stuck to her like glue now. She had lost a lot of weight and just looked sick. The one thing he couldn't help but notice was the black marking on her neck. It was like his.
"Hey…Monica can you hear me?"
For a few minutes it was nothing as her head lays on his shoulder. But something raw and low breaks the silence. Almost like she had forgotten how to talk.
"It's…so cold."
He gently sits her down against the counter close by. He starts to shake his jacket off when he starts coughing as he leans over to take a second. She slowly looks up at him as her eyes protested against the bright white light. With the shiny walls and such. Well except what was painted with the zombies.
"You to huh?"
She rubs the side of her neck thats when he could see. She was way further a long then him. It spread down from her neck to her chest partly across her face.
"Yeah..Unfortunately.."
He gets the jacket off as he gently puts it around her. She pulls it more around her for the warmth. She looks around confused as ever.
"Where are we?"
"Its called ARK. There is some weapon called Elips here. I..Can fully explain later. We don’t have much time. Can you walk?"
Leon looks over at her he holds his hand out for her to take. She takes as she stands up they both start to walk down the hallway to the elevator. Monica was swaying she pulls the jacket closer to her not cause she was cold. The fact it was his. Something to ground her. Leon goes to walk up the elevator but he didn't hear another set of footsteps. He turns around to find her standing still. She had her fingers wrapped so tight in the fabric of the jacket it looked like it hurt. Her hair was dry now as it falls to side of her face. She was hunched over a bit just staring. Maybe she was trying readjust to everything again? After all she had been a sleep for a long time. He walks closer to her slowly as he waves his hand in front of her face.
"Monica?"
Her eyes snapped towards him but nothing like a human. She then charged after him. His reaction time wasn't the best as he was fighting to keep himself on his own two feet. He gets his arm up as he stumbles back. Her teeth getting really close to his neck. He pushed her back as he stumbles once again. Grabbing his pistol. He aims right for the forehead.
"Monica…Don't make me do this."
She freezes in mid run as her eyes change but she looked normal once again. She saw the look on his face she felt the droll on her chin and chest. He still had the gun pointed right at her forehead. She wasn't sacred of that. She was scared that she hurt him. Or if she would.
"Just leave me."
"You crazy? I just found you. No way."
"Just leave me."
"Monica. We will fight through this. Just like we did when this all started."
She grabs at her throat as she looks up at him. Tears glistening on her cheeks.
"We are dying!"
It echoed loudly in the room it was so heavy. She falls to her knees. This isn't how she imagined she would go. Leon froze the words hit harder then any bullet could.
"No! I refuse. We have to finish the mission first. It just right here."
He looks at the elevator then back at her
"Get up soldier. That's an order."
He wasn't stern and he didn't yell it. She could see the determination in his eyes. The one last mission. She gets up as she nods her head. She then rips a piece of fabric off her pants. He looked at her very confused as he watched her.
"What are you-"
He stopped mid-sentence as she ties it around her mouth as a gag. She was protecting him and anyone else just in case she turns again. They get in the elevator as he starts getting weaker he feels more dizzy. She couldn't help that much. Monica puts his arm around her neck as she helped with some of the weight but she couldn't do much. Once they make it to door the room is bright yellow. Leon falls as Monica falls with him. They both was breathing hard like they just ran half a mile. She tries to keep her eyes open. It was getting really hard. That all changed when something cold touched the aide of temple. There was a girl above her. She had never seen her before. Eyes wide with fear her own wounds covered in blood. She remembered that look. Racoon comes back to mind.
"D-D-Don't move…"
She was looking over at Leon as she walks closer to him Monica doesn't move.
"L-Leon…Wake up. Its me Grace."
He stirred a bit as he opens his eyes to see Grace hold a gun pointed at Monica holding her hostage.
"She is okay. She is a friend. I found her here."
"S-S-She didn't hurt you?"
Leon shakes his head.
Grace was iffy as her shaking hands lower. She then pressed the button to the door. She helps Leon up as Monica stands up and trails behind them.
Leon looks over at Grace.
"What are you gonna do?"
"I have a plan."
Leon nods his head as he tried to stand. He then falls to his knees as she coughs. Grace walks closer to Zeno.
"I…I know the password. But Leon has to live."
Zeno thinks long and hard on this as he motions for her to come forward.
"Fine."
Monica was studying the man. He looked so familiar. Grace stands in front of the computer. She types the password in.
