THIRD PERSON'S POV

(Y/N) was carefully following after Chris, holding Richard's Shotgun in her hands and watching out for Zombies, however... she was also conflicted, she felt really sad when she saw those dead Hunters, and hoped that the ones she encountered before stayed away from the Mansion.

(Why am I so upset about those things? I mean, I killed several of them with Rebecca in the Training Facility, so, what's changed, and that Giant Snake too...) (Y/N) thought to herself as she followed Chris, but, she'd let down her guard in her thoughts and wasn't fully paying attention, when suddenly a hand covered her mouth and dragged her away, just before she could do anything she was struck hard in the back of the head and fell unconscious.

The person who knocked the teenager out looked down at her with guilt and regret, before they sighed in resignation and picked the unconscious girl up and slung her over their shoulder, they then made their way back to the Mansion's Guardhouse Building to place the girl into a secured room and lock her in.

They had some trouble crossing the Water Pool area, due not only to the ladders but also the infected Adders that slithered from the grass or dropped from the trees above, but they soon managed to reach the Guardhouse and were carrying the girl towards the backrooms.

"I'm sorry (Y/N)... I hope you can forgive me" the person said, when suddenly a large Spider shrieked and attacked the two, the sudden attack startled the figure, making him stumble and drop the girl, who then fell into a hole in the wooden floor!

"No no no! Damn it!" the person exclaimed as he saw the girl's legs vanish into the darkness, just before the Web Spinner dropped down and spat Venom at the person, who quickly drew their gun and shot at the Mutated Arachnid, the Spider let out a loud shriek and thrashed around, damaging the wooden boxes close to the hole and making it collapse and block up the hole.

The person panicked, they knew that if they didn't go after the girl and get her to the room that they were supposed to bring her to, the consequences would be dire, they quickly spun around and ran to find a way to go down and find her.

Meanwhile with (Y/N), she tumbled down the hole and then landed in... webbing, luckily the webbing had managed to break her fall, unfortunately for her... her sudden fall caught the attention of the Creature that called this place home, a large Spider, it easily dwarfed any of the Web Spinners that infested the Guardhouse, it's Carapace was Black and it had Yellow fur in places on it's body and eight legs.

The massive Spider scuttled it's way over to the unconscious girl, it's shining red eyes gazing hungrily over it's next meal as it's primal hunting instincts took over, the Spider then used it's front legs and it's palps to grip onto the girl's body, and then it began to spin and manipulate the girl's body, twisting her as it's back legs pulled threads of sticky silk from it's spinnerets and then attached the threads to the girl's body, before the Spider quickly started to spin her around and around, cocooning her body in silk.

The sticky threads quickly attached to her body, stuck in place from the glue-like fluid that coated them, tying the girl's legs together and sticking her arms to her body as the Black Tiger used it's palps to hold the loose limbs to her chest to keep them from dangling, her hair matting to her scalp and neck as the silk wrapped over her head, pressing in around her body and stifling the girl as the Black Tiger let out a clicking sound from it's large fangs.

In seconds the girl was filly cocooned in sticky, restricting silk, the Black Tiger let out a growl as it raised it's fangs up, holding the cocooned girl in it's palps and front-most legs, preparing to sink it's fangs into her flesh and inject it's digestive enzymes into it's prey to liquify it's insides and then consume it, but then... the Spider paused mid-way, the sound of a heavy stone rumbling and then crashing made the large Arachnid pause before it could feed.

Another intruder in it's lair... more prey to capture and consume, the Black Tiger then crawled to one of the walls and stuck the cocooned girl up, planning to save her for later and deal with this new intruder into it's territory, the Black Tiger then crawled up onto the ceiling to await it's next victim...

A LITTLE EARLIER

In the Falls Area of the Mansion's Courtyard, Jill was trying to neutralise a Cerberus that had managed to get into the area, the creature now had a large bullet hole in it's body from a shot Jill made earlier, she steadied her aim as the slavering Beast charged at her again, and jumped at her with it's jaws wide open, ready to tear out her throat.

Jill quickly took aim and shot again, the force of the bullet's impact making the Zombified Dog yelp and fell out of the air, hitting the stone floor with a thud before it tried to get back up to attack again only for Jill to quickly shoot it again, this time nailing it right in the head and fully killing it.

"Damn, these things are relentless, I wonder if... huh?" Jill said to herself as she looked down at the now-dead Cerberus, however, her talk to herself was stopped when suddenly she saw the waterfall that dominated the area start to stop falling and then the water stopped, revealing what seemed to be a hidden passageway.

(Why did the water just stop? Is someone watching me?) Jill thought to herself as she glanced around the area, she then raised her gun up and slowly made her way down the newly revealed passageway which was lit only by a single burning candle at the end showing a ladder that was going down.

Jill approached the ladder and looked down into the darkness below, she took a deep breath and started to climb down the rusted metal ladder into the lower areas...

Jill carefully climbed her way down the ladder until her boots touched the stone floor in an underground tunnel, the stone was wet and excess water leaked down from the area above, Jill made her way ahead down the damp tunnel to search for anything useful down in this new area, she soon reached a door and went through to another passageway, which she saw was blocked by a boulder.

"Damn it, it's blocked, maybe there's another way ahead" Jill said as she turned to walk back down the passageway, when she suddenly heard a sound that made her blood run cold... the sound of stone moving, she looked back and saw the boulder had come loose and was rolling right towards her!

Jill ran for it back to the way she came into the passage and managed to jump into the side tunnel just before the boulder could crush her, rolling on the floor and back onto her feet as she panted for breath, adrenaline pumping through her veins from her umpteenth near-death experience.

Jill saw that the Boulder had rolled off into another opening, Jill soon caught her breath and made her way to the pair of metal double doors set into the stone tunnel, she then pulled down the handle and opened the doors, stepping through into a room that was covered in thick, white Spider webs, Jill then heard a scuttling sound, before a HUGE Black Spider crawled down from above and stopped in front of her, before it hissed aggressively and raised up it's two front legs and it's palps, baring it's large, venomous fangs in a threatening display at the new prey that intruded upon it's lair.

Jill's eyes had widened in surprise from the appearance of this huge, hairy Spider before she quickly pulled out her Grenade Launcher, took aim with the deadly weapon and quickly fired an Acid Shell at the monstrous Arachnid, the shell exploded on contact showering the creature with sizzling, fizzing acid that burned at the Monster's carapace and exposed flesh.

The Spider hissed and it's swollen abdomen shuddered before it spat a stream of Venom at the Female S.T.A.R.S. Officer, who quickly moved aside to avoid the deadly fluids before she fired another Acid Shell at the Monster, she went to fire again but when she pulled the trigger, it clicked empty!

"Damn! I'm out already?!" Jill exclaimed when suddenly Venom was dumped on her head from above, Jill yelped and looked up only to see a Web Spinner was clinging to the ceiling above her, and while she was distracted with this new threat the larger Spider suddenly rammed into her, sending Jill flying back onto the floor.

"Damn... huh, wait, isn't that?" Jill said as she sat up and then saw a Shotgun she recognised laying tangled up in the webbing on the floor, her eyes widened in worry, that was Richard's Shotgun, the one he gave to (Y/N)!

She heard the two Spiders hiss again and quickly jumped away toward the weapon, barely avoiding the splash of Venom that the Black Tiger spat at her, grabbing the Shotgun up off the ground and taking aim at the Spider's swollen abdomen before she pulled the trigger three times, blasting the fleshy mass apart.

The Black Tiger shrieked loudly in pain before it collapsed to the web strewn ground, finally dead, Jill then quickly turned her attention back to the smaller Spider up on the ceiling and shot at it, knocking the other Spider down and making it hit the ground with a thud Jill quickly shot the Web Spinner again, killing the mutated Spider.

"This is... the Shotgun Richard gave to (Y/N), but why is it here?" Jill said to herself with worry, when she suddenly heard muffled grunting and shouting and saw one of the Cocoons was wriggling!

"Mmm! Wmm mh hmh mm thmph?!" Jill heard a muffled voice from inside of the cocoon, she then recognised the shape of the cocoon, it was a person, and since she had the Shotgun (Y/N) had...

"(Y/N)?!" Jill exclaimed as she hurried over to the cocoon and pulled the struggling, silk covered girl off the wall and set her down on the floor, while the girl let out muffled protests from her confinement.

"Hold on, I'll get you out of there..." Jill said as she started to rip the sticky threats apart, but the threads were much thicker than normal Spider silk, Jill then noticed something stuck in a wooden box close by, a Survival Knife.

Jill quickly grabbed the Knife and went back to her trapped friend and the carefully used the Knife to cut through the sticky silk cocoon, trying her best to be careful not to cut the girl while she tried to free her.

She managed to cut away the silk allowing (Y/N) to free her arms and help to tear away at the silk wrapped around her body and face, the (H/C) haired girl quickly sat up, frantically tearing as much of the silk off her body as she could, looking utterly disgusted.

"Ugh! Disgusting! Gross, gross gross! I got wrapped up by a fucking Spider, I hate Bugs and Spiders!" (Y/N) said as she tried her best to tear as much of the silk off of her as she could, feeling disgusted that a Spider had touched her and covered her in silk like that, she could only imagine how close she got to ending up a Spider's Milkshake.

"How the hell did you end up like that (Y/N)? Last time I saw you was in the Mansion" Jill asked as she helped to free the girl's legs from the sticky mess.

"I searched around to find Richard and more evidence, but while I was searching I heard Rebecca scream, I managed to find her and Chris, then I went with Chris but then someone hit me over the head and knocked me out, next thing I know... I'm waking up to gunshots and a nightmare" (Y/N) said to her in a hurry as she kept trying to pull the silk off of her clothes and her body.

"Someone knocked you out? But... who... ugh?" Jill asked before she suddenly looked unwell and fell back landing on her butt, as her breathing became laboured.

"Jill?!" (Y/N) exclaimed as she forgot about removing the silk still clinging to her and went to her friend, looking worried about what might be wrong, or if Jill was hurt.

"Damn... that must have been poison those Spiders spat at me earlier..." Jill groaned out in pain as she looked at the dead Spiders, seeing small, white Spiderlings crawling out of the dead Black Tiger's burst abdomen.

"That's just nasty... come on Jill, I'll help you!" (Y/N) said as she helped Jill up onto her feet, putting Jill's arm around her shoulders to support her as she walked ahead to a door that was covered in webs.

"Here, use this to cut those webs" Jill said as she offered (Y/N) the Knife she had found, (Y/N) quickly took it and cut away the webbing and went through the door, as they did (Y/N) then saw a pair of Blue Herbs sitting on the ground in pots.

"Oh yeah! Rebecca said that those can help with Poisons! Hold on Jill, I know what to do" (Y/N) said as she hurried over to them and sat Jill down, before she quickly picked the leaves from the plants and ground them up.

"Here, Jill, eat this, it'll help you" (Y/N) said as she folded the paper up and fed the ground up Blue Herb Leaves into Jill's mouth, Jill groaned from the bitter taste as she swallowed it down, it then took a minute for the Herb to take effect and neutralise the Venom in her body.

"Ugh... thanks (Y/N), I owe you one" Jill said as she smiled to the (H/C)-ette girl, thankful that she'd been saved from the poisoning.

"Considering you just saved me from ending up a Spider's dinner, I'd say we're even" (Y/N) said back to her with relief in her face and her voice.

"Yeah, how about we stick together for now?" Jill suggested as she stood herself back up on her feet, dusting herself off and offering (Y/N) back the Shotgun she borrowed.

"Alright, let's go then" (Y/N) said happily as she stood back up and took the Shotgun back happily, she had also given Jill the Silver plated Wolf Medal since she had a thought that it could be useful to her, then the two continued further on into the underground tunnels, they went through into another passageway, which... also had a large boulder set up ahead of them.

"Damn, be careful, I already went through a passageway like this before, the boulder might roll right at us" Jill said seriously as she looked back to (Y/N), who nodded slowly as she swallows her saliva, the two slowly walked along together when suddenly the boulder at the end of the passage came loose with a loud crunch, and started to roll right at the two members of S.T.A.R.S.!

Jill and (Y/N) quickly ran for it towards an alcove on the left hand side of the tunnel and managed to get into it just in time to avoid the boulder, it rumbled past the two women and then crashed into the other end of the tunnel with a loud boom!

"And here we are without a gold idol..." (Y/N) said to Jill getting a chuckle and an eye roll from the older S.T.A.R.S. Member at her joke, before they both stood up and went through the door to the next room, which was a small room lit by four burning torches and two small candles, and also in the room were two Statues, one of a man and the other of a woman.

The two women realised what they had to do, they had to turn the statue of the woman around somehow and push it into the empty alcove, they also saw a round stone plate in the floor and a spot in the wall with an empty slot on it.

"Looks like we need to find some kind of tool to work this thing, I wonder what it does?" (Y/N) said as she looked at the device on the wall.

"Maybe it's so we can turn this statue around?" Jill said as she looked over as well, realising that they would have to search around for a Crank of some kind to work this contraption.

"Well, why don't we just try turning it around ourselves? Maybe if we work together we can turn the thing and push it into place?" (Y/N) suggested to her, Jill thought about it before she nodded her head in agreement to trying the idea.

The two then spent some time lowly turning the heavy statue around to face away from the alcove and then worked together to push the statue into the alcove, once the heavy Statue was in place a plate slowly slid up and inside was... some kind of Cylinder.

"Hm... what do you think this is for?" (Y/N) asked Jill as she picked up the little Cylinder and showed it to Jill, also examining the symbols that had been carved into the metal object.

"No idea, but... we might find out if we look around more?" Jill said as she also looked at the object, (Y/N) then put the object away in her backpack before she and Jill left the Statue Room and walked back the other way, soon reaching the room where the Black Tiger's dead body was, and saw many White Spiderlings crawling around, all of them were the size of a hand!

(Y/N) quickly ran through the room with Jill following her until they got back to the first Boulder Passage, they quickly crossed into the Entrance Passage Jill used to get down to this underground area, they then noticed another door close to the ladder and went through the doors and into a forked passage.

One of the forks was blocked off by another large boudler which had bloodstains under the boulder... making both women glad they were able to avoid being crushed by the other ones, and they made their way to the only door in the passageway, going through to another room.

Jill and (Y/N) then took a look around the room but (Y/N) stopped when she heard a sound behind her, a sound like... hissing and claws on stone, Hunters!

(Oh shit, some of those things are down here too?! I have to get them out of here before they attack Jill) (Y/N) thought to herself with concern as she looked over to Jill, walking over to her as she took the Cylinder out of her backpack.

"Hey Jill, could you hold onto this for a sec, I'm going to check something quickly" (Y/N) said as she tossed Jill the Cylinder, Jill caught it, looking confused as the younger woman walked back into the Forked Passage she and Jill went through before.

(Shit, did these things come back from the Forest and follow me down here?!) (Y/N) thought to herself as she felt anxious, she saw the door to the entrance suddenly open up as a Hunter came into the room, growling and hissing until it noticed (Y/N) and seemed to quickly calm down.

"Damn it, did you follow my scent or something?!" (Y/N) whisper-shouted as she approached the Reptilian Monster, trying to usher the creature back the way it came from, she went back into the Entrance area, only to find two more of them were milling around the area, like they were trying to follow a scent.

"Well that answers that question... come on you three, I need to get you all out of here!" (Y/N) said quietly as she moved her arms, motioning for the Hunters to pay attention to her as she made her way to the ladder back up to the Courtyard's Waterfall Area.

She soon reached the top of the ladder and looked back down into the darkness, only to jump back as one of the Hunters jumped the rest of the way up and joined her at the top, followed by the second and third Hunters who followed (Y/N) and the first one, she then led them out of the tunnel and into the open space outside.

"Alright, listen, you can't stick around here, it's too dangerous for you all... get out of this place and head into the Forest, okay?" the (H/C)-ette said to the Hunters firmly a she pointed to one of the sections that lead out to the Forests, one of the Hunters walked closer and the girl then placed her hand on it's head, gently petting it as it churred from her touch, she did the same to the other two as well, before she sent them all on their way and left to re-join Jill down below.

After a quick climb back down and a speedy walk back to the Generator Room, she arrived just in time to see Jill had managed to call up an elevator up from the lower level, she waved to Jill as she hurried over to her, walking onto the platform and getting ready to leave.

"Jill" Barry called out as he came in through a second door that was in the room, sounding very relieved to see her again.

"Barry!? Thank God you're safe" Jill said as she and (Y/N) stepped out of the elevator to greet the man.

"You too Jill, oh, (Y/N), you're here too! What happened to you?" Barry said as he noticed the remnants of Spider silk that still clung to the young woman's body, hair and clothes in places.

"I don't want to talk about it" (Y/N) said dismissively, not wanting to remember the fact that she'd allowed herself to get knocked out again and then almost be fed to her worst nightmare, as well as the fact the thing likely touched her with it's hairy legs while she was out cold, Barry looked to Jill who shook her head at him.

"But wait, why are you down here, Barry?" (Y/N) asked the more senior member of Alpha Team, who looked a bit unsure how to answer that question.

"A noise I heard brought me down here, but... I didn't expect to find a place like this" Barry said to Jill and (Y/N) as he walked onto the elevator platform, passing by them both and stopping at the other end.

"Either of you have any idea as to what might be at the bottom?" Barry asked them both as he peered over the edge into the darkness below.

"There's only one way to find out" Jill said as she and (Y/N) got back onto the platform, Jill then pressed the switch and the elevator started to descend into the lower levels, as they went down Jill looked between Barry and (Y/N).

She thought back to what Captain Wesker had told her and Chris before, she was sure that (Y/N) couldn't be suspect, after all not only had Jill saved her life but she also gave Jill one of those Blue Herbs, if she was really involved with any of this, they surely she wouldn't have helped her?

The elevator soo reached the lower floors, and as soon as the lift stopped, they heard a ragged groan from further ahead.

"What the hell is that sound?" Barry said as he held up his Magnum, (Y/N)'s eyes widened in worry, she recognised that groan rather well!

"Jill, go check it out, (Y/N) and I will stay here and secure out escape route in case something happens" Barry said to Jill, who nodded and went to leave, but (Y/N) had a sudden look of panic on her face at what might happen.

"No, I'll go with her, for all we know it might be something very dangerous, it never hurts to have someone watching your back, right?" (Y/N) said quickly as she walked after Jill, Barry looked like he wanted to protest and tell her to stay here but... he didn't really have any good reason to make her stay.

"Thanks (Y/N)" Jill said, looking like she really appreciated her friend's offer, however... she noticed how nervous (Y/N) suddenly looked again, just like before when she tossed Jill that Cylinder and vanished for a few minutes, however Jill pushed it down and walked to the next room with the teenager, leaving Barry to guard the elevator.

Jill and (Y/N) then stepped into another underground tunnel, they walked further along when (Y/N) heard that ragged, wheeze-groan from before, followed by the sound of rattling chains, she got her confirmation... Lisa was down here!

"Did you hear that?" Jill whispered to (Y/N), sounding nervous as they heard the sound of bare feet on wet stone and rattling chains, (Y/N) looked to Jill and nodded back to her.

"You go ahead, I'll keep it busy, okay?" (Y/N) said to Jill with a look of determination in her eyes, Jill looked hesitant about going along with this idea, but she saw that this was the quickest way to move ahead and she reluctantly agreed, with that, (Y/N) stepped out of their hiding place and went down the tunnel, while Jill went down the other passageway.
