The world was peaceful and full of life before the dead had arisen. I was at a friend's house but I didn't last long as what I call the infected overan the home. Watching my friend die was the last thing I knew before I ran. It's been months since I...
I woke up to someone shaking my shoulders. I groaned in protest but I heard a faint 'wake up Thea.' The only one's who would call me that was Carl, Lori, and my sisters while everyone else called me Cynthia or Sin.
Prying my eyes open, I spotted the brunette along with Lori." I'm up, I'm up." I groaned sitting up. I looked around and noticed it wasn't the room I was staying in.
-------
After going back to my room to get dressed, I walked into the dining room and sat next to Carl.
"Hi." I said and he smiled and returned the greeting. Rick walked in drowsy, obviously hungover from the alcohol. "Are you hungover? Mom said you'd be." Carl said as the man sat down. "Mom is right." he said and I quietly giggled.
Looking around it was peaceful besides those of us that have a splitting headache. Glenn was most certainly the worst because he has never had alcohol. Shane walked in and I secretly glared at the back of his head.
As he passed T-dog, the darker man asked," what the hell happened to you? Your neck?"
"Must of done it in my sleep." Shane lied and Lori kept her head down. "Never seen you do that before." Rick commented eyeing the claw marks.
Ignoring the rest of what they said, I spotted a digital clock on the wall. It gave off a bad vibe. Dr. Jenner walked in, grabbing my attention.
He seemed what I would call, suspicious but also cautious around us. Dale spoke up.
"Doctor, I dont mean to slam you with questions first thing-"
"But you will anyway." he interrupted but the comment went ignored.
"We didn't come here for the eggs." Andrea said and I silently nodded my head as Jenner turned around. Sighing he led us to the computer observation room.
"Give me playback of TS19." he commanded the AI, Vi. The screen showed a brain scan. "Take us in E.I.V." he said and it zoomed in closer to the nervous and control system where it was blue.
"What're those lights?" Shane asked and I rolled my eyes, already knowing the answer.
"It's a person's life, experiences, memories. It's everything. Somewhere in all that organic wiring, all those ripples of light, is you. The thing that make you, unique. And human." Jenner explained and I just looked at it.
"You dont make sense ever?" Daryl asked crossing his arms from beside me.
"Those are synapses, electric impulses in the brain that carry all messages. They determine everything a person says, does or think from the moment of birth to the moment of death." he explained further. I ignored the rest, watching as it fast forward to the first event.
The center was darkened, trying to stay alive to fight the infection but it failed. The light was gone and it was all dark. Dead.
It sped forward once again. There was a red light blinking at the start of the brain stem. It became rapid until there was a bullet hole piercing through and it shut down completely.
"It can't be fixed." I whispered.
----------
Everyone left to their rooms while T-dog, Glenn, Shane and Rick went to check on the generators. I stayed in the computer room, standing in the center.
"Good evening Project Zero. Lovely seeing you again." a voice said and I knew it to well.

"Well, if it isn't Red Queen, tell me, is UMBRELLA still alive?" I asked tauntingly, turning around I was faced with Red. The same AI that tried to kill me and a few selective others.
"That would be correct miss Greene." she answered but I only glared.
"I was hoping you would be too, but that can change." I sneered, she started glitching the longer I stared. She clutched her head and screwed her eyes shut. "Bye, bye." I said and waved, watching as the AI broke.
After that, I was walking to my room until the lights shut off. The barely visible light was from my now icy blue eyes. I went back into the computer room to see the lights were on.
"The system is dropping all nonessential uses of power. It's designed to keep the computers running to the last second. That started when we reached the half-hour mark. Right on schedule." Jenner explained as we looked at the clock, counting down.
"What do you mean 'right on time'?" I asked sternly.
Red appeared again but appeared broken." Project Zero...You're all going to die down here." she said and finally dispersed into nothing.

"Everyone get your stuff, we're leaving, now!" Rick yelled but the alarms set off.
"30 minutes to decontamination." Vi notified. The clock was running down and we were running out of time. The doors started closing, I ran to one but it already shut.
"Jenner. Jenner open the door now!" I yelled but he ignored me.
Fourth chapter DONE!! I will update every few days since I started Zombie, again.
I decided to add Red Queen from Resident Evil but this is the only time you'll see her until Alice comes in.
