Memories Of A Lost City

Chapter 2: Jill Valentine

Claire could feel hands on her trying to drag her, she slowly opened her eyes struggling. She sees a man wearing a military outfit. She saw the symbol on his chest, the oh so too familiar Umbrella symbol. "Let...go." She managed to say. His head suddenly exploded with blood and his once strong grip became loose as he fell to the ground. A slim figure approached in front of her. It was a woman, with shortish brown hair, a strapless shirt and a gray skirt with a hoodie tied around her waist. "Get up." She said pumping her large pump-action shotgun. Claire places her hand on the wall by her and slowly pulled herself up. She picked up her blood stained handgun, she realized the blood was coming from her arm, she had been laying on it. "Come on, Umbrella operatives are here, we need to leave." She said running off into an alley. Claire looked back at the crashed cop car, not seeing Leon's body. "Did they get him? Or did he escape?" She thought to herself. She ran off after the woman, decayed hands reaching for her legs. She finds the woman and she was shooting down zombies around a steel door. Claire raised her pistol and lined up her aim with the head of a zombie and pulled the trigger, downing the creature. The woman twists the handle of the door counter-clockwise, and it got stuck halfway through the turn. "Damnit." She whispered. "Cover me while I get this open!" She yelled to Claire. She nodded and brought up her handgun again. She wasn't the best shot but if she had the time to aim she could get it spot on. Her gun clicks after several bullets were fired.

The woman was kicking in the door as Claire was stabbing zombies as they approached. Her knife was dripping blood onto her boots forming a small puddle around her feet. Claire heard the door mechanism break and turned to the door to see it was now open and the woman had already ran in. She runs in after the woman slamming the door as she went in, but since the mechanism was broken it didn't latch. They arrive in a large room with large mechanical doors that closed, keeping anything out. The woman pressed the button to close it then aimed her shotgun at Claire.
