Chapter 19

JUST AFTER PLANT 42 WAS KILLED, JILL'S POV

After Barry had saved (Y/N) and I from that Plant and a reunion with the newest member of Bravo Team we all split up, Rebecca said she wanted to do something in the room she and Chris used to make that Herbicide, Barry left to do something else, and (Y/N) had just gone ahead of us to check out something, Chris and I then followed after her a minute or two later.

As Chris and I left the Gallery I saw (Y/N) quickly go around the corner back to the outside, I was going to call out to her when I suddenly heard some gunshots coming from further down the Corridor, I looked to Chris who nodded back and we rushed to see who it could be.

"Wesker!" I said in surprise as I saw him standing over the dead body of a new Monster, it looked vaguely Humanoid in shape, but it's body was covered in Green scales, and it had large, sharp claws.

"Chris, Jill, it's good to see your both okay" Wesker said as he turned to look at Chris and me, I felt relieved to see that our Captain was alright.

"Took the words right out of our mouth" Chris said, also sounding relieved and happy to see Wesker again.

"My apologies, I've been rather busy protecting myself from these strange creatures" Wesker said as he motioned to the dead Lizard-Monster on the ground.

"What the hell are these things, and where did they come from?" I asked as Chris walked past me and knelt down next to the dead Creature, examining it to try and figure it out.

"I have no clue, but they are rather ferocious" Wesker said as he checked on his ammo, sliding the clip back into the chamber before looking to me.

"Did either of you notice... Barry and (Y/N), those two seem to be acting rather... odd" Wesker suddenly said to Chris and me, that kind of surprised me.

"Now that you mention it... Barry has been acting a little strange lately, I'll keep an eye on him" I said to Wesker, after thinking about it, Barry had been acting rather oddly ever since we arrived at this Mansion.

"It's probably natural, after all this isn't exactly a standard operation" Wesker said as if in an afterthought, he had a point about this not being a normal operation, it was a disaster, with so many members of Bravo team dead and Joseph being killed by those Dogs in the forest.

"No kidding, it's just been a disaster, but, what about (Y/N)? Did something happen with her?" Chris asked him with a raised brow, I was also confused on why Wesker said anything about (Y/N), who from what I had seem seemed to be holding up fine and was trying her best to help us survive,

"I can't put my finger on it, but it almost seems like... she was expecting these creatures, when she saw it I could have sworn she seemed to know it" Wesker said with his hand on his chin in thought, I looked at Chris in confusion, she seemed just as freaked out as any of us about those Zombies and the other Monsters so far.

"I don't know about that, Captain, she seemed quite on edge earlier... she had to save Richard from becoming Shark bait" Chris said to Wesker, I did a doubletake at what Chris had just said, a SHARK? Here? Away from the sea? How?!

"And she was pretty worked up when that Plant got hold of us both" I added in, deciding to ask Chris about this Shark as we continue our investigation, when I looked back to Captain Wesker, I could have sworn I saw worry.

"Captain... are you sure your not worried about (Y/N) for other reasons?" I asked him as I crossed my arms over my chest, looking to him pointedly.

"Whatever do you mean, Jill?" Wesker replied as he looked back to Chris and I.

"Come on Captain, it's clear to everyone that (Y/N) has a thing for you" Chris said to him before I could respond, so, he noticed as well? Then again, (Y/N) wasn't exactly subtle about her interest.

"Yes... though I admit, I am concerned about going along with her feelings toward me, after all, it's rather unprofessional to date a subordinate, for obvious reasons" Wesker said to Chris and I, I was kind of surprised by this, Wesker was usually the professional sort who was more focused on work and the mission, yet he's talking about something like this with Chris and me.

"Either way, I'm certain my suspicions with (Y/N) are unfounded..." Wesker added in as he shook his head, I agreed, (Y/N) was trustworthy to me.

"If it'll make you feel better Captain, I'll keep an eye on (Y/N) myself, but I think we ought to get out of here before we all become Zombie food" Chris said to the Captain, I sighed and shook my head, as long as he didn't make it obvious that Wesker had him keeping an eye on her.

"Yes, that would be best, since you both are my men, I can count on you both, but Chris is correct, our first priority should be getting out of here" Wesker said as he looked to the both of us.

"I agree, if only those Dogs weren't outside..." I said in agreement with him, those damn Dogs are a problem, and there's no way we could try running through the Forest with those things and possibly more infesting it.

"If we could make contact with Brad for a pick up, we'd be out of here in no time" Chris said as he placed his hands on his waist and shook his head looking down to the floor.

"Too bad our Radio's don't seem to work" I said back to him, it was really annoying and we couldn't keep in contact with anyone in the Mansion either, all we would get is a few words and a lot of static.

"We should get a better grip on the situation... perhaps we'll find a way out, there were some rooms back in the Mansion that were locked up, I'm counting on you two to investigate those areas, I'll continue my investigation here" Wesker said as he walked past us, moving to walk further into the Guardhouse and search the rooms ahead.

"Sure thing/Yes sir" Chris and I said as Captain Wesker gave us both a nod and then walked further down the Corridor, going back to the Mansion with Chris to check out these rooms that have yet to be opened.

"What do you think Wesker meant, when he was talking about Barry and (Y/N)?" I asked Chris as we left the Guardhouse building and started to make our way back to the main building of the Mansion.

"I'm not sure, I know that (Y/N) did her best to save Richard, but I'm not sure about Barry" Chris said as we walked through the path back to the Courtyard of the Mansion.

"I can see what Wesker means with Barry, he's been acting a bit strange but, him saying that about (Y/N) surprised me, you said something about her saving Richard?" I asked Chris as we kept going, still not really sure what Chris meant earlier.

"Yeah, we found some kind of room that was flooded with water, we found Richard inside and the crazy thing is... there were Sharks in the room too" Chris said to me, I was in disbelief at that especially when Chris told me what happened in that place, Umbrella experimenting with Sharks, what were they trying to do?

"Jesus, and (Y/N) managed to save him?" I asked Chris, wanting to hear the whole story from him about this.

"Yeah, she stayed with Richard while I went to the control center and drained all the water, she said she was going to take him back to a Medical Storage Room that we brought him to before, he'd been bitten by some kind of giant Snake and I found a Serum to help him, I'm pretty sure she and Richard will be there by now, she said something about giving him a lecture" Chris said as we kept walking, I chuckled at that, it sounded a lot like (Y/N) to give someone a lecture if they did something dumb.

"Alright, I think I'll go check on them, what are you going to do, Chris?" I asked as I looked to him, thinking about if (Y/N) and Richard were safe with these new monsters running around.

"I'm going to look around the place more, maybe see if I can find anyone else from Bravo Team, I'll meet you later?" Chris said to me as he checked his ammo for his gun, I nodded to him before we split up.

"(Y/N), what are you doing here? Where's Richard?" I asked her in concern, but... in the back of my mind the Captain's words repeated themselves, it couldn't be... could it?

CURRENT TIME, THIRD PERSON'S POV

"This is so cool... I wonder why you are so friendly with me though?" (Y/N) said with a smile as the fifty meter long Snake sat in front of her, part of the Snake's body was curled around to make a loose circle around her as their head was raised up level with her upper body, her hand still resting on the Snake's snout, she then pulled her hand back only to have thick ropes of mucus hanging off her hand.

"Ugh... what the hell is this stuff?" (Y/N) groaned in disgust as she looked at the Greenish-Yellow slime on her hand, she flicked her hand toward the floor to try and get it off and then wiped the rest off on a wall.

"Well, I may as well look around this room and see if I can find anything here" (Y/N) said before she started looking around for anything that might be useful for finding her way further around the Mansion, after a search around the room she managed to find a book which was behind a glass display.

"This is obviously what I need to look through to keep going, better stand back" (Y/N) said as she stepped back to the opposite wall and took aim with her Shotgun and shot at the glass, shattering it and she then picked the Blue Book up.

She carefully examined the Book and noticed that it felt a bit heavier than a normal book, she went to open the book when something tickled her neck, making (Y/N) jump back and drop the book as she tried to supress a startled yelp when she saw that it was just the Giant Snake.

"Jesus, you move really quietly for something to big..." (Y/N) said to the mutant Viper, when she looked to the floor and saw that the book had fallen open, revealing a cut out section inside and on the floor close to the book was a Silvery Medal with the image of a Wolf engraved on it.

"Looks like I was right, now, where do you go I wonder?" (Y/N) said as she examined the Medal more, liking the design of the Wolf, she then put the Medal away in her backpack and looked back to the large Snake, smiling and placing her hand on it's snout again, cringing slightly at the moist mucus she felt.

"Now then, what about you big fella? I mean, I can't have you trying to attack and eat the others, I guess I'll have to get you out of here" the (H/C) haired girl said as she gave the giant Snake a smile, though still pretty disgusted from the slime on her hand, the Snake let out a hiss as the girl took her hand away and wiped the mucus off on her pant leg.

"Now then, follow me out of this Mansion, okay?" she said to the Snake before she looked and saw a pair of large doors, she went over to them only to see that the doorknob was broken off.

"Looks like I'll have to go back up the ladder, come on" (Y/N) said as she went to go back to the ladder to the second floor of the Library, but then, the Snake hissed loudly and rammed it's head into the double doors, easily breaking the wooden doors open!

"Okay, that works too I guess" the teenager said in surprise as she approached the destroyed doors, passing by the Mutated Viper and carefully walking over the splintered and shattered wood and began to walk down the Corridor, planning to lead the Snake outside and try to usher it off the Mansion Grounds.

The Girl then started walking backwards in front of the Snake, slowly leading it through the Corridors and listening out in case any of the others were coming, it took her a little bit but she soon managed to lead the Snake out onto the Balcony on the West side of the Mansion and she stopped on the outermost part.

"Okay now, I need you to go out there, you need to go into the forest for now" (Y/N) said as she motioned to the forest that surrounded the Mansion, the Snake hissed and looked out to the trees, flicking it's forked tongue in the air before turning it's gaze back to the teenage (H/C)-ette.

"What? Listen, you can't stay here, I don't want you trying to eat another member of my team and I know you'll get killed, but, if you go into the forest, there's plenty of things for you to eat, like deer and stuff, and you'll have a lot more room to move around" the (H/C)-ette said as she locked eyes with the giant Snake, her face set into a neutral look, if she could make some of these things leave the mansion without a fight, it'd be good.

The Snake flicked it's forked tongue at her face, before it turned it's head out to the forest and moved to leave the territory it had known ever since it's capture and transformation, (Y/N) watched as the Snake's body went over the railing, which buckled and collapsed under the weight of the bulky Viper as it slithered to the ground below and then let out another hiss as it raised it's head and struck at the metal fencing surrounding the Mansion, knocking down the fencing and slithering out into the dark Forest.

"Well... that's one big threat gone" (Y/N) said with a smile, feeling very happy that she managed to convince the Snake to leave the Mansion, however... a frown then creased her face as she looked down at her hands.

"What's going on with me? How can I make that Snake listen to me, and... those Hunters as well, what's going on with me?" she asked herself with some worry in her eyes, which then widened slightly in realisation and worry as she quickly pulled the bandages off of her forearm, only to look down at it in shock.

"Th-The bite... i-it's g-gone?" the girl said in shock as her voice and body shook, the bite wound had completely healed... there was not even a scar left despite the fact it looked very deep.

(What the hell is this...? Even with those Herbs and stuff, that bite would still take longer than that to heal!) she thought to herself as she ran her fingers along her skin, only to feel something else, she took her fingers away and saw her fingers were slightly shiny.

"Ugh... sweat, the first thing I'm gonna do when I get back home is have a damn shower, wash all this grime and filth off" (Y/N) said to herself before looking back to where that bite was, she then looked over herself more, wondering of the wounds she got from the Queen Leech may also have recovered as quickly.

"Maybe it's just thanks to Rebecca's treatments? Yeah, that has to be it... if I was infected then I'm pretty sure I'd have a fever and start becoming a Zombie by now" (Y/N) said as she tried to reassure herself that she wouldn't end up becoming another Monster, and trying to attack her friends.

She took a few deep breaths and then made her way back into the Mansion, stepping over the slime trail that the Giant Adder left behind and walked through the door into the upper floor of the Mansion's Main Hall, when she suddenly heard a scream that she recognised.

"Rebecca!" the girl exclaimed in shock, before she took off running to find her friend.

CHRIS'S POV

After searching around the Mansion and having to do some puzzles I had managed to find a Key which had an Emblem on it and had used it to unlock another door, I stepped through into what looked like a Study, when I suddenly heard a scream from above.

"Rebecca! Is she upstairs?" I said before quickly spinning around and leaving the room, running to the stairs that would go up to the second floor to find her, I also pulled out my Shotgun that I'd found along the way and hurried into a room that I heard her in.

When I kicked the door open I saw Rebecca had been cornered by one of those Lizard-like Creatures, she screamed and panicked as she tried to open a door that had been locked and then cowered in the corner close to the door as the creature approached her!

"Hey! Get away from her you freak!" I shouted as I aimed my Shotgun at the Creature, which spun around and hissed at me before it ran toward me with it's claw raised up, I quickly pulled the trigger and blasted the creature with the Shotgun, throwing it onto it's back, only for it to surge back up to it's feet with a bloody hole in it's torso, I quickly fired again and threw the creature back again.

I kept my Shotgun aimed at the Monster as it let out a cry and it started wriggling around on the ground, I pumped the Shotgun and kept aim on it until it fell still and died on the floor, then suddenly the door behind me opened and I spun around, aiming my Shotgun at the door, only to see (Y/N) was there.

"Chris! Rebecca!" she said before she ran past me to Rebecca, who was still curled up by the other door in the room, however, as she hurried to Rebecca I saw her glance down at the dead creature and it looked like she was, sad?

"Rebecca, are you alright?!" (Y/N) asked as I watched her kneel down in front of the newest member of Bravo Team, looking concerned for Rebecca while I was watching her, that look of sadness she gave to that Monster...

"(Y/N), Chris!" I heard Rebecca say in relief, I saw her smile at (Y/N) while I guessed that (Y/N) was smiling back at her.

"Are you okay?" I asked as I walked closer to the two women, glad I was able to save Rebecca from that Monster.

"Y-Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you both" Rebecca said as she looked between me and (Y/N), I watched as (Y/N) helped Rebecca to stand back up again.

"What happened? How did you get here?" (Y/N) asked her as she let go of Rebecca's hands and stepped to the side slightly, so I got a side view of her face now.

"I-I came to find you and Richard, but... when I got to the Storage Room neither of you were there, so I went to try and find you both, only to have that... thing, chase after me" Rebecca said as she looked at the dead Monster on the floor, I saw (Y/N) glance at it briefly too with a frown on her face, the Captain's words came back to me as I looked at her.

(There's no way she's involved in this, right?) I thought to myself as I watched (Y/N), she couldn't be, if she was then why would she save Rebecca and Richard, but... Rebecca said that Richard wasn't in the room, and he was with (Y/N) last.

"Wait, Chris where did you get that Shotgun from?" I heard (Y/N) ask as she was looking at the Shotgun I was holding, why did she look so concerned all of a sudden?

"I found it in one of the rooms while I was searching around" I said to her as I lifted the Shotgun up a little, looking at it and showing it to Rebecca and (Y/N), though (Y/N) now looked worried.

"Thats the Shotgun I gave to Richard though, why would he leave it behind?" (Y/N) said when her eyes went wide, looking like she thought of something, that just made her seem even more suspicious, but, now wasn't the time to be divided, especially with Monsters roaming around.

"Listen you two, we can't stay here any longer, it's getting too dangerous, we have to get everyone together and find a way out of here, you with us Rebecca?" I said to them both, deciding to trust (Y/N) for now, but I'll have to keep a close eye on her as we keep going.

"Yeah, I'm with you" Rebecca said, as I saw (Y/N) look to me and nod her head in agreement.

"Good, then (Y/N) and I will go ahead, until then Rebecca, you're on your own, stay cool and use your better judgement, got it?"I continued as I looked between them both, Rebecca looked a little worried but then seemed to push it down, while (Y/N) looked a bit concerned about leaving Rebecca on her own.

"I understand, I can handle myself" Rebecca said with a look of determination in her eyes, she'd need it to survive this.

"Alright, good luck, (Y/N), come with me" I said as I looked to (Y/N) who nodded before she frowned and looked to Rebecca again.

"Okay, Rebecca, if it get's to be too much, just... find somewhere safe to hide, alright? Stay safe" (Y/N) said to her, I saw Rebecca nod back to her before we walked out of the room to continue our search of the Mansion, however... I couldn't help but think on what captain Wesker said.

(The Captain said that (Y/N) was behaving oddly... now she went off with Richard, then came back with his Shotgun and now, Richard's not in the room she said he was in, and then there was her looking at that Creature that attacked Rebecca, there's no way she could be a traitor... right?) I thought to myself as I walked behind (Y/N), keeping my eyes on her as we left the room and made our way downstairs.

We were soon back in the Study that I had opened and started to look around, I managed to find some Shotgun Shells, (Y/N) picked up a Flash Grenade and then, we found a Metal Object which had Umbrella's Logo on it, as well as a crest similar to the one that was on that Key I used to unlock this room.

"Do you suppose that Emblem belongs to someone important?" (Y/N) asked as I saw her looking at the object.

"I'm not sure, but they must be affiliated with Umbrella, might even own this place" I said as I pocketed the Metal Object, we then started to make our way back to search around, however, as we contnued the search I looked back and saw that... (Y/N) was gone!

"What?! (Y/N)? Where did she go?" I asked myself, this was even more suspicious... where could she have gone?
