Our World To Protect

Chapter Eight: Sherry?!

(A/N: Just a quick note, with the release of the remake of Resident Evil Two, I am going to watch a playthrough of it, and edit the last two chapters to match the remake better.)

"Wow. I can't believe that you guys went through all that." She said. "Especially you, Carter. Locked away and experimented on your whole life...I can't imagine that." She said. I shrugged.

"Well, it's all over now. And, if I hadn't been there, I wouldn't have met Leon. Our pasts shape who we are, I can't be too angry about that." I said. She smiled.

"You have a better outlook on it than I would." She said, and I laughed.

"In times like these, you have to remain a little positive. Negativity and fear can consume you so fast. That's why I try to look on the bright side of things, if there is one." I said. She nodded.

"That's definitely a good philosophy to have. But it still doesn't answer my question. How are you so sure that your baby is okay after everything that happened in Tall Oaks?" She asked. I laughed a little. 

"Oh, that! Well, remember how I said that I have a symbiotic relationship with the first form of the T-Virus that I carry?" I asked. She nodded. "Well, apparently, the Virus recognizes the baby as something that my body wants to make, and thinks it needs to be protected. So there's some kind of special cocoon type thing around the baby that protects it from most everything. We learned that when we went in for my first ultrasound and couldn't see anything!" I said, and began to laugh. Helena and Leon laughed too.

"Wow, that's amazing." She said, and I smiled. She stood then. "I'm gonna go check and see where we are." She said. I nodded, and she went off. Leon looked at me.

"Can't be too angry, you say? That's not the message I got when you were using less than kind words to describe Umbrella and your father!" He said, and began to laugh. I smacked his arm.

"Oh, shut up!" I said, and leaned my head on his shoulder. Helena came back then.

"We just entered Chinese airspace." She said. We nodded, and she sat back down. "I don't get it. Why didn't you guys just turn me in? It would have cleared your names." She said.

Maybe, but it wouldn't have stopped Simmons. And besides, you're starting to grow on me a little!" Leon said, and I laughed a bit.

"And also, it isn't your fault. You and your sister were kidnapped, and you were placed in a position where you couldn't say no. You can't be blamed for that. If I had been in your position, I would have done the exact same thing." I said. She sighed, but before we could say anymore, the plane jolted, and when I looked outside, we were going down! We all jumped up and ran to the cockpit. The co-pilot was dead, and the other encased in a cocoon like the ones back at Simmons's lab!! Before we could do anything, the cocoon hatched, and the thing that started the outbreak in Tall Oaks!! We began firing at it, but it escaped through a vent! Leon got ahold of Hunnigan and told her what was going on, while I checked the status screen at the front of the plane to see what was damaged. We all went back down into the main area, heading below the cabin.

"Everyone, remain calm, and return to your seats!" Helena said. Everyone did, and we went below the cabin, to the cargo hold. We pulled the valve where the alarm was blaring from, and the plane began gaining altitude again! But that's when the creature showed up again! No matter what we did, it just wouldn't go down! So, finally, Leon opened up the hatch, throwing the creature out, but we went along with it! I climbed back up, and helped Leona nd Helena up, then Leon closed the hatch.

"Get back to the cock pit! Hurry!" Hunnigan said, and we began rushing back up. Once we got to the cabin...everyone on the plane had been infected with the C-Virus! They were all zombies!

"No! We're too late! Helena cried,  and we fought our way through the horde of zombies. Suddenly, the plane tilted. I grabbed onto a seat, but Helena and Leon were violently thrown to the side.

"This is why I can't sleep on planes!" Leon said, and I smiled a little as we finally got back to the cock pit. Leon sat in the pilot's seat, while I sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Helena covered us. Now, not only was the back of the plane malfunctioning, but so was the left wing! "Great, can anything else go wrong?" Leon asked.

"Leon, Carter, you guys are going to have to fly the plane!" Hunnigan said, and Leon sighed.

"I was afraid you were going to say that! Alright, let's do it." He said. Hunnigan gave us instructions as we tried to bring the plane up. It wasn't going as well as we hoped, and we were going down fast. As we went down. we both saw Ada standing on top of a moving train, watching us! What was Ada doing here?! Eventually, the plane crashed into the rode, and Helena, Leon, and I were able to get out pretty quickly. As we were walking away from the plane, I heard a voice that I haven't heard in years.

"Leon? Carter?" I looked to where the voice was coming from, and my jaw dropped. It was Sherry Birkin!!
