September 29th 04:27AM
Several Minutes earlier... (The Subway)

Coming out of unconsciousness was never fun, the confusion, the pain, the fear.
Jill looked around as she crawled out of the train wreck, her heavy breathing and the thumping of her heartbeat was the only sound that filled the silence
"Am I the only one that made it?" as she looked at the destruction the events before the crash came back to her,
The monster that had been pursuing her slaughtered all the survivors-
Nikolai had left them all to die and Mikhail had sacrificed himself to stop the creature from getting to Jill
"No, no" she felt her voice tremble, she doubted her day could get any worse
"Natasha? Carlos? Come in, Natasha? Damnit, I'm out of range"
Jill came out of a service tunnel for the subway company, she needed a moment to think.
What was she going to do now, the subway had been her last hope and now that she was separated from the Black Widow...
"Shit!" she hissed and ran a hand through her short hair, she wished she was back with the Avenger who would have already thought up a good plan.
Ok, first objective was to get out of the subway hopefully once she was on street level she would be able to regain contact with Carlos and Natasha, from there they could regroup and come up with a new plan.
In the storage room she'd taken a moments rest in Jill found a note that spoke about a weapon some sort of 'Mine round' she supposed something with a bit more damage would definitely come in handy, she places the new rounds into her launcher.
The evidence in the tunnels suggested that the underground had been used as a shelter, she had a feeling that she would be using those new rounds soon.
From what Jill could tell the train had made it as far as Saint Michael's Clock Tower, she couldn't shake the guilt and the anger that blanketed her like oil.
It had been after her, not them and how was it that Nikolai knew that she was the creatures target? The fucking bastard;
She should have told Black Widow to shoot him when she threatened to.
As she enters further into the underground tunnels the Zombies that occupied the space became aware of her presence, with one of them howling a sickening growl that echoed through the tunnel.
Jill walked backwards drawing all the Zombies into a tight group,
She then fired one of her new mine rounds at the ground and as soon as the group was close enough the explosion sent the group of undead flying into a bloody mess,
She put the mine rounds away for now and only wanted to use it if she really needed to.
Jill retrieved her shotgun from her inventory as a larger Zombie stumbled down the stairs it was immediately met with the blast of her shotgun.
Jill kept following the emergency exit signs as she blasted everything that came her way,
She burst through the exit on ground level she took in a deep breath of the cool night air when all of a sudden a loud roar shook her to her core.
"Fuckers still alive, I can't stay here" she ran out of the service ally to find that she had come up across the river front,
Across the other side of the river was Saint Michael's Clock Tower which was where she needed to head to.
It was strange how silent and calm the area was, from the looks of it SWAT team had sealed off the river front.
Jill made her way for the bridge that connected the banks when all of a sudden the creature burst through the doors of the subway,
It was still fully engulfed in flames from the explosion, it flailed around in pain until it ineptly fell into the river and didn't resurface.
"Bitch can't even swim" she smirked as she decided that now would be an ideal moment to see if she was back within the comms range
"Natasha, Carlos respond!" she held her breath for a moment, was she still too out of range and just talking to herself, but the sound of Natasha's voice was quickly a welcomed relief
"Hey, what's wrong?" Black Widow asked,
Jill took another look at the river front, the creature still hadn't resurfaced from the water
"We didn't make it, the train derailed" there were a few seconds of static on the transmission when Carlos spoke
"Derailed? Was anyone hurt?" Jill sighed, she didn't want to be the deliverer of such devastating news, they'd all had their hopes set on getting people out of the city.
"Everyone's dead, Mikhail everybody" she still was processing it,
The creature was after her and yet everyone else was dead and she was alive, it felt bitterly unfair
"Ah shit!" Carlos sighed
"Nikolai left us to die!" Jill exclaimed as the water in the river below started shifting towards her
"Wait what!" he yelled as Jill became aware that something was happening in the river water below
"What the fuck?" she whispered to herself as a monstrous beast-like form launched at the bridge with a furious roar.
"Get back!" she yelled, as she got a better look only to see that the creatures form had changed completely,
Where as before it had a humanoid structure it now resembled something more animalistic and terrifying,
It now moved on all fours its legs twisted like a wolf whilst all its previous clothing had all but been torn to shreds
"Jill, Jill what happened- Jill come in" Carlos yelled through the Walkie Talkie, but she was currently unable to respond to anything on the comms.
She narrowly dodges a sharp set of claws that slashed out for her,
Jill took off in a run pulling down some near by planks to slow her attacker down-
Not that she doubted it would do anything to stop the beast in its newer form.
Jill leapt across a broken part of the bridge seconds before the giant claws could tear her to ribbons,
She looked at the nightmare behind her and wished that she hadn't.
The monster leapt over her knocking her down and blocking her escape route, again the monsters deformed claw swung at her,
Jill dodged sliding under the creatures arm where she quickly jumped off the bridge and down to the plaza square right outside Saint Michael's Clock Tower.
The monster jumped over its prey and into the centre of the plaza where Jill quickly got the idea that she was going to have to fight her way out,
The creature emitted a loud roar that made Jill's head hurt.
The bastard was clearly looking for another fight and that was a wish that Jill was more than happy to fulfil.
She blasted the monster with her shotgun unfortunately- it seemed to not be fazed with the shells much anymore as if it had built up some form of resistance-
"Oh come on!" she yelled as the beast swiftly lunged for her,
Jill dodged the attack as she quickly refilled her grenade launcher with the explosive rounds, she fired up several times as the creature charged towards her,
She rolled out of the way before she could be completely flattened by the beast.
Quickly she put some distance between them as she refilled the grenade launcher with her new mine rounds and fired again,
In it's mew mutated form it definitely was not a fan of the mine rounds as it angrily charged, the impact of its attack shook the ground beneath her- this time she was slightly not quick enough to dodge.
The blow sent her crashing painfully into the floor.
Before it can regain its attack stance, she quickly administered a 'First aid spray' and fires several more explosives which struck the monster in the centre of its large chest.
They continue this dance of attack and dodge for several more minutes each combatant was getting more and more frustrated and Jill was getting worried about the amount of ammunition that she had left.
Switching back to the shout gun she shot the creature in its head momentarily stunning her hardened opponent, angrily it let out a ultra sonic scream that made the car windows smash and it hurt Jill's ears.
Suddenly, the creature seemed to have a change in tactic as it began to run in big circles around the plaza square building up more and more speed until it was sprinting across the sides of the buildings.
"It's like some kind of animal" Jill whispered to herself as it ran furiously around the area when it suddenly took a perch on top of a bus.
Jill only had a split second to shoot and move before the creature jumped, nearly crushing her in the process.
Jill momentarily wished the Black Widow was here with her seemingly endless supply of ammo and weapons,
Jill fired up with the shot gun several more times, the monster growled at her with contempt when it decided to go for another sprint around the nearby cars and buildings causing endless amounts of damage as it did so
"I've gotta slow it down" Jill mumbled to herself as the creature sat high up on the prier of the Saint Michael's Clock Tower, she smirked as she switched back to the explosives
"You're about to have a nasty fall!" she yelled up to it as she sent the explosive up to the bastard,
The creature roared in agony as it heavily crashed back down to the ground where Jill was primed and ready with the shout gun
"I'm gonna kill you!" she yelled as she fired shell after shell into the beast, she wanted the asshole dead more than she had ever wanted anything,
After how many it had killed to hunt her down, she hoped it was happy now that it had her and she was going to send it straight to hell where it belonged.
The creature growled as Jill was forced to take a break in her assault to reload,
She dodged the creatures attempt to hit her with its claws, but then it went about running in circles again, the repetitive motion made Jill feel sick-
"I need to stop it in its tracks" she growled to herself as she fired one of the mine rounds at the buildings that the creature was racing around,
The second it's path hit the waiting mine it was sent flying off course by the explosion, where it crash landed back into the ground
"Alright, lets do this" she hissed as she approached her downed opponent
"Suck it!" she screamed as she pelted the monster with every explosive left in her inventory, the creature howled either in rage or agony as it collapsed on the floor.
Jill wasn't a fool, this asshole had got back up far too many times before for her to be sure that it wouldn't get back up again, but at least she could trek some good distance between herself and it in the meantime.
"Carlos? Natasha?" she spoke into her Walkie-Talkie which disappointedly responded with dead static
"Oh come on, you're gonna crap out on me now?" she yelled at her Walkie Talkie, for now it seemed like she was on her own.
The walkway through Saint Michael's Clock Tower had opened up at some point during her confrontation with the creature, carefully she walked over the creatures outstretched arm.
She watched the sharp claws cautiously aware that it could revive at any second and tear her apart, she quickly made her way under the Clock Towers gates.
However, she was off guard when something grabbed her leg,
The creature roared as it attempted to draw her back towards it, her few remaining bullets were next to useless.
She spotted the chain that was propping the gate open, she knew she only had one shot to save herself, she had to force herself to keep her eyes open as she opened fire.
The chain snapped with a satisfying clink and the sharp edges of the old-style gate plummeted to the ground painfully cutting off the arm that dragged her backwards,
The creature let out a furious cry at the sudden removal of its limb.
Jill quickly got back up to her feet unknown to her that the amputated appendage was immediately replaced with some sort of barbed tentacle and in one last attempt to catch its prey the creature stuck it's new sting straight into the S.T.A.R.S officer.
Jill looked at the stinger in her arm in disbelief and then the pain came, she was now infected.
Her body convulsed under the intrusion of the very volatile virus now in her immune system,
Nikolai watched the unfortunate scene from the other side of the gate, out of the corner of her vision she saw the older Russian man smirking as the T-Virus reduced her to a convulsing mess on the floor,
"Interesting, you've done me a big favour Ms Valentine"
She wanted to scream at him, she wanted to reach for her gun and shoot him in his stupid face, but her body was no longer her own she was infected with the T-Virus now, and that was just as good as dead.
