Resident Tale

Chapter 9: Saving Sherry

Leon and Claire climb back to the top as they look down where Trenchy, Ada, and Annabelle laid at the bottom. The computer went off again, warning them. "Leon, we're really out of time." Claire states and turns to him as he handed said a word since they got back to the time, "You stay here and I'll get the vaccine for Sherry's vacc-" Claire states, but Leon shook his head.

"It's too dangerous. I'll go with you and besides, Annabelle asked me to get Sherry the vaccine." Leon tells her as he finally spoke, Claire nods at him, "Thanks." she said and they started to walk. "Let's do this." he said as they were out of the furnace room, "I don't know what's going on here, but I don't think the time is on our side," Claire informs him. 

The door open and Zombie stood in their way, they fired at them and the zombie's dropped. They walk through the doors and down the hall. The turn and saw the dead bodies smug against the sides. 

Walking past them, they reach the end, but two zombies drop down and make the two jump back, "Get out of my way! Move!" he orders them as they fired at the zombies and moved forward, but the zombies on the sides stood up and the two ran and make a left and they fired at the zombie that block their path, Claire then turns around. "Leon, they're coming from behind too!" Claire shouts as she fires at them.

They ran forward to the door and turn and looks at the herd behind them, "Great! Do I really have to waste my bullets on you guys!" Leon questions them and they step into the elevator and the door closes as they went up. Claire looks over at Leon as he was leaning against the wall "I hope Sherry's alright." Claire wonders aloud, "She ran all the way here and did just fine." Leon said and then sighs. "Look, it won't take much longer. She'll be alright." Leon assures him as the doors open. "Yeah, I guess." Claire agrees and they ran through the hall. 

But then zombies block their path and they fired at them and continued forward, Claire peeks out and saw the coast was clear. "We need to find the entrance to the lab." Claire states and Leon nods. "Yeah, let's go." he said and they ran to the door. 

It slides open and they step in as Zombie was walking towards them, "Guess it's not going to be that easy," he states as Claire fires at them. "I'm gonna kick their asses." she snaps with rage in her eyes. Then a spider jumps down and they fired at it. It drops dead and they continued forward.

Then they turn as the zombie was blocking their path to Sherry and Jacob, they fired at them, then turn back as zombies were waiting for them in the center room and they fired at them as well. "Let's see what's back there!" Leon states and then they ran to a door.

Annette ran down a hall but stop when William drops down onto the ground, making her turn and look at him. He was more mutated than before, hardly anything human left in him. He walks towards her "William!" Annette shouts as he steps back, "Don't you recognize me? I'm your wife, Annette." she said and showed him the ring.

William stops as he looks at the ring and tilts his head a little at her, Annette then loads her gun, "William I'm sorry. But I've got to put an end to G." she tells him and aims her gun right at him. He growls and charges at her with his claw arm raise and Annette fired at him.

Leon looks through the hall and saw Annette leaning against the wall as she was holding her wounds. "Claire!" he calls out and the two ran to her. "Annette!" Leon states as she pushes herself against the wall and she looks at him "G is... growing even stronger. If you don't stop this, Sherry will..." she states then inhales sharply. Leon looks down at the blood of her blood and then at Claire.

"Annette, please, Annabelle told us about the P-4 Lab on the lower levels, is that where the vaccine is." Claire asks her, Annette nods at her, "That's where we experimented on her." she said and then grips Leon's arm "Please. Help Sherry." she begs them. "Tell her... that even though I failed as a mother... I have always loved her." she whimpers as a tear slides down her cheek and her hand drops from Leon's arm.
