Chapter 8: This is the End

Morning came as the survivors step out of the tunnel and saw the dead horde of zombies that stretched on for miles and miles. "They did it." Jacob mutters and Leon looks at him "But at what cost?" he questions as Ada sniffles, covering her mouth. Kim looks at her and places her hand on her shoulder.

Claire steps forward and looks ahead of them. "Look!" she calls out, they turn and look to where she was pointing. There, at the head of the horde laid Annabelle and Alice as they were laying on the ground. "Anne," Leon calls out and ran down to the head of the horde.

The others hurried after him. Leon slides down onto his knees and looks down at his wife. She showed no signs of waking as he places his hand on the side of her head. "Come on Anne, wake up," he asks of her, Ada ran up to him and leans down by her head. "Is she..." she asks him, "I don't know," he answers her. The others join in, Jacob kneels down by Alice and gathers her up in his arms and looks down at her, Alice cringes her face a little as she moves her head. "Alice," Jacob calls out and she jerks her head, fluttering her eyes open.

Annabelle exhales as she flutters her eyes up, "Anne." Ada said with rejoice, Leon gathers her into his arms and pulls her up. Annabelle gasp as she held her hands at his shoulders and looks at him, "Leon?" she asks, he just smiles and hugs her tightly in her arms. Kim laughs a little as she pulls her hair back as Jacob lets Alice sit on her own and sat back, running his hand over his hair. "Alice. You did it." Claire tells her.

Alice just looks at her then at Annabelle as Leon pulls back from her, she just looks at him in confusion then looks over at Alice, "How are we still alive?" Alice asks them. They all exchanged looks and shrugged. "I don't know." Alice answers and the two looked at each other and then it hit Annabelle, "Alicia, Anna."

Annabelle places the device down onto the ground and it lights up, to reveal the panel and the White queen pops up in the center. Annabelle leans back against Leon as they were sitting down on the ground. Jacob, Ada, and Kim were sitting down on the ground as the White queen popped up. "Well?" Annabelle asks her. "When the life of Dr. Isaacs was no more. My sister and I could bring ourselves back online and were able to stop the attacks on the last human settlements. You and Alice saved the last of the human race." White Queen answers her.

Annabelle nods at her, "Then how am I and Alice still alive?" she questions her, "When the Antivirus was released into the air, it attacks and kill the T-virus cells in your body. It did not harm the healthy or attack the other infected cells in your body. You are free of the T-virus." she informs her. Annabelle exhales, looking away "I was supposed to die." Annabelle mutters then looks back at her. "You, Red Queen, Alicia, and Anna. You lied to me and used me," she states. "That was not our intent, but we had to know if you were willing to do what needed to be down, sacrifice your life for others. Anyone from Umbrella would have not done the same," she informs her. Annabelle shook her head and looks away. "Anna Aeries was right about you, you are the best thing to have ever come into this world, better than them," she states.

Annabelle then looks back at her, "But I was one of them. I worked for them, I was created by then, raised by then, I did their dirty work. I was just a weapon to be used and tossed away." she states, Leon looks at her, rubbing her arms. "That is not true, you became more alive than you believed to be. The weapon that had more of a heart than they ever could be." White Queen answers her, Annabelle scoffs and looks away. "And there is one final step." she states and Annabelle looks at her, "What are you talking about?" she questions her.

White Queen flickers away, the device opens, the eye lens came out and it reveals memories upon memories of Anna Aeries. "Before Anna died, she downloaded her memories, for you," she states as they looked at them. "She wanted you to experience the joys and happiness of life, A life you'd never had," she states as all of the memories were flashing in her mind. "Even though you were a warrior made to take down Umbrella, she loved you dearly. Cared about you and watched you every step of the way, she wanted nothing more than for you to find peace in your life," she states, tears well up in Annabelle's eyes as she saw Anna hold Annabelle as a baby, loving on her. "Letting you go, was the hardest choice she ever made," she states as Anna gave Annabelle to Ada and turns and leaves as tears well up in her eyes as she was fighting herself not to turn around.

Annabelle lowers her head into her hand and cries. Leon held Annabelle close to him as she began to cry for a mother she never knew, but a mother that loved her more than her own life.

Alice took off down the road, Annabelle holds her arms watching her leave, she exhales as Leon walks up to her, placing his hand on her shoulder. She looks at him, he smiles at her and she smiles back at him. They both then walk back to the jeep as the others were loaded up.

Alice parted ways as she was continuing her mission, wiping out the remaining Infected.

Leaving her was a hard choice to make, but it was a choice both made.

I went back to the others, in the hopes of rebuilding with the remaining humans left.

The Jeep drove down the road, Jacob at the wheel, Claire next to him, Kim sitting by the side, Ada in the middle, Leon on the side as he was holding Annabelle in his arms, her head pressed against his forehead as they both were enjoying the presence of each other.

I have hopes that the future will get better now that the nightmare is finally over.

They all heard a screech in the air, making everyone pull up and looked up, seeing one of the infected creature flying over them. Jacob slows down and stops the car.

Well, almost over.

Annabelle stood up, looking at the creature as it lands down on one of the broken down construction sites and snarls at them. Annabelle glares at it then hopes out of the jeep. The others stood up and cheered her on.

Until the last of the undead return back to being dead, my mission isn't finished.

And I don't plan on dying before it is, for I have something to protect

Annabelle pulls her blade from her sheath and started walking towards it, the creature hissing and charges at her. She smirks and broke out into a run. She then jumps into the air, reeling her blade back, the creature swung its tail at her as she brought her sword down at it.

My name is Annabelle,

This is the end of my story.
