Chapter 22

WITH (Y/N), BEFORE JILL WENT TO THE ALTAR

(Y/N) searched through the rooms on the ground floor of the Mansion, looking for that part to put into the Stone Ring, it was rather frustrating that she was yet again searching around for something to open a door, if she could she would just use her Magnum to shoot the lock and open it that way.

"No... that might break the lock and make the door unable to be opened, stupid idea" (Y/N) said to herself, she was now searching the rooms in the East Wing of the Mansion, and went through the door to the Dark Corridor, holding her Magnum in her hands.

However, she then heard the sound of rattling chains and footsteps, before Lisa came shambling around the corner!

"Lisa? What're you doing here?" the younger member of S.T.A.R.S. asked the heavily mutated young woman, putting away her weapon and approaching her with a gentle yet worried smile on her face, Lisa let out a wheeze-groan as she looked up to her.

(Y/N) knelt down on one knee and took Lisa's hand in hers, frowning at the wooden stock that was on Lisa's wrists, the holes where her wrists were trapped were caked in dried and fresh blood, before she looked to Lisa's face.

"Moth... errr..." Lisa said in a raspy voice, her yellow eye gazing at her with a mix of emotions, hope, sadness, longing.

"Of course, come on then, let's go find her together" (Y/N) said as she gave Lisa a kind smile, she then stood up, still holding onto Lisa's hand while she had her Magnum in her other hand, she wasn't going to hold back to protect this poor, tortured girl!

Lisa took the lead and guided (Y/N) along to where her Mother was hopefully being held, taking a path through the Mansion, and going outside again, the two walking along the edge of the forest that surrounded the building.

(Y/N) was keeping a watchful eye out, remembering that this forest was infested with Monsters, she had her magnum in her hand ready to react if something got in front of them, not oo long later as they were walking they ran into a pair of Cerberus, which barked and growled as they smelled fresh meat from the young member of S.T.A.R.S.!

(Y/N) frowned and looked at the Zombified Canines, before she let go of Lisa's hand, took aim with her Magnum Revolver, took a solid stance and then pulled the trigger, she felt the recoil travel through her arms as the gun kicked back, the bullet the struck the Cerberus making it yelp as it was blown out of the air and hit the ground with a thud.

"Wow, that's powerful!" (Y/N) exclaimed in surprise, her body trembling with a dose of adrenaline from her excitement from the power of the shot, as a smile stretched across her face.

However, while she was distracted with the feeling of finally using her new favourite weapon, the second Cerberus barked and charged at her, only for Lisa to get between them and swing her shackled arms at the Zombified Dog, striking it in the body, the Dog let out a yelp as the wooden stock block struck it's, making a sickening crack of breaking bone come from the Hound before it slammed into the trunk of a tree and then fell lifeless to the ground.

Lisa growled and shambled to the Dog before she raised her arms up, let out an in human growl and slammed the stock down onto the dead Dog, caving in it's abdomen and pulverising the ribs, making sure it was dead before she let out a shaky breath and turned to go back to the younger woman.

(Y/N) was surprised from how strong Lisa was and watched her as she approached her, and then let out a shaky breath as she tentatively took the young girl's hand with her own, seeming to calm down when she felt her calloused skin make contact with (Y/N)'s soft skin.

"Your very strong, Lisa..." (Y/N) said quietly as Lisa took her hand again, the mutated young woman let out a pleased sound before she continued ahead, with (Y/N) walking next to her and holding her bony hand.

Lisa guided the two of them along the edge of the property until they reached a small, circular area that had short, stone barriers around it and a large water fountain in the middle, Lisa then jumped up over the barrier and landed on the stone floor on the other side, (Y/N) then started to try and climb over it.

She managed to grab onto the ledge and swung her leg up to pull herself over, she grunted with the effort and pulled herself over, only to yelp as her body went over and she tumbled over the other side, landing on the stone ground with an "oof".

She laid there for a second before she sat up and rubbed the back of her head, when they heard barking and suddenly three more Cerberus jumped over the barrier and rushed at (Y/N), who quickly scrambled to stand back up!

However, Lisa then let out an angry scream as tentacles burst from several areas of her body and started violently whipping around her, one of the Cerberus growled and charged at her, only to be hit by the wooden stock on her wrists and thrown back over the barrier and to the outside, but then a second one lunged and bit down on Lisa's arm, growling as it tried to pull her down!

"Lisa!" (Y/N) exclaimed as she surged to her feet and took aim with her Magnum, but then she saw the third Dog was leaping at her with it's jaws open to tear out her throat!

However, (Y/N) turned the magnum toward the Dog but the creature managed to hit her, knocking the girl and and trying to bite at her face, as she was trying to push it away from her and keep it from getting it's teeth on her!

Lisa saw this and let out an enraged snarl before she swung her arms and smashed the Cerberus that was biting her against the stone fountain, making it yelp before she screamed and struck it with her wooden stock, crushing the Canine's skull.

"Ugh... get... off of me!" (Y/N) said through gritted teeth as the Cerberus barked and snarled, snapping it's jaws at her face and making T-infected spittle fly as well, the young woman was trying to move the barrel of her Magnum so it would be pressed against the rotting Dog's body, so she could blow it away, however the creature was a lot stronger than it looked and was relentlessly trying to get it's jaws around her throat!

Lisa then staggered over and let out another loud yell as she swung her arms at the Zombified creature, knocking it away from the younger woman, and making it roll and skid away across the ground, leaving a streak of rotting blood, flesh and fur behind, the Cerberus growled and got back up onto it's feet to go back on the attack.

However just as it managed to stand back up it was blasted with a shot from (Y/N)'s Magnum, blowing a massive hole in it's body and killing it, (Y/N)'s heart was racing as she stood back up and walked a few steps closer to the now-dead Cerberus.

However, as she walked away the third Dog that Lisa had hit back over the barrier jumped back over, however, (Y/N) then tapped into her self-defence training and performed a spin-kick, hitting the Cerberus in it's head and knocking it to the stone floor, before she quickly pulled up her Gun and obliterated it's head with a single shot.

"I don't think I'm a Dog person..." (Y/N) said as she looked over to Lisa, who came over to her and took her hand again, leading the young woman toward a lit up area in the Fountain, passing by a pair of heavy doors and going into a small building with a rusted metal platform as the floor.

The two got onto the platform together when it started to go down, the elevator platform soon stopped in an underground area below the Fountain area and Lisa walked with her down a tunnel, Lisa seemed eager to go there, they must be close...

"Okay Lisa, is this where she is? I'll help you to-" (Y/N) said as she gave Lisa a gentle smile, happy to finally help her feel a little better, however...

"(Y/N)?!" she heard someone exclaim loudly, she looked over and her eyes widened when she saw Jill and Barry!

"J-Jill? What the heck is going on?! Why are you pointing Barry's own gun at him?!" (Y/N) exclaimed in shock as she saw Jill pointing Barry's gun in his face, however, she then heard Lisa growl angrily as she let go of (Y/N)'s hand and shuffled toward the stone Coffin, before she raised her arms up and started hitting her forearms against the stone casket with force!

"Lisa, stop! Your going to hurt yourself!" (Y/N) exclaimed as she dashed to Lisa, hearing a sickening crack as the bones in Lisa's arm and wrists broke from the impact, (Y/N) pulled her back and looked at her broken arms, seeing that her left arm was bent at a painful-looking angle!

However, as she was going to help Lisa, she heard several cracks and crunches as she saw the bones heal rapidly, but, the failed attempt at opening the coffin frustrated Lisa and she let out a scream as tentacles burst out of her body, making (Y/N) gasp in surprise at this sudden change, while a heavy metal gate slammed down from the way they came from.

"Jill, hand me my gun!" she heard Barry say loudly, sounding scared of Lisa's sudden appearance and how aggravated she looked, (Y/N) looked over and saw Jill looking at her, before offering Barry his gun back.

"Thanks Jill, (Y/N), quick, step out of the way of that thing!" Barry said as he took his Magnum Revolver back and pointed it at Lisa, however, (Y/N) spun around and held her arms out to shield the poor girl.

"No, I'm sorry Barry, Jill, but I can't let you hurt her, she's been through enough" (Y/N) said to the other two S.T.A.R.S. members defiantly, giving them both a serious frown as she protected Lisa from getting shot.

"(Y/N), what are you doing? What is that thing?!" Jill asked her as she gave (Y/N) a serious frown, (Y/N) looked at her and saw the look Jill had, this was what she was hoping to avoid, now they might get suspicious of her and ask questions she has no answers to herself.

This "thing" is a victim, Jill... this is Lisa Trevor, she's a victim of Umbrella's cruel and inhuman experiments with this Virus, I'm trying to help her" (Y/N) said to Jill as she stayed in front of Lisa, who let out a wheeze as the tentacles waved around her body.

"Wait, Lisa? That's Lisa Trevor? The girl from those notes?!" Jill asked her in disbelief as she looked at (Y/N) and then to Lisa, who was glaring at Jill from behind the younger woman's back.

"Yeah... Umbrella did this to her, she's been suffering alone here since 1967 Jill, Thirty years! I want to help her!" (Y/N) said with a look of determination on her face, challenging either of them to try and dissuade her from doing this.

"Help her, how?" Barry asked (Y/N), as he kept his gun raised, not trusting that Lisa would stay calm, though he had a grim look on his face, knowing that bullets wouldn't work on her if he shot at her.

"She's looking for her mom, Jessica Trevor, she brought me here so I can only guess that... she must be in there" (Y/N) said as she motioned to the stone coffin in the middle of the Altar, which Barry and Jill both looked at as well.

The Altar was sealed up with heavy metal chains that the group followed and saw that they were all attached to large, heavy stones that were placed on the edges of the platform that the Coffin was in the middle of, (Y/N) seemed to figure out what they were supposed to do.

"Okay... we need to push these stones off the platform to break the chains, if we do that then we can open this thing up" (Y/N) said as she walked to one of said stones and shoved herself against it, pushing with all her might until it tumbled over the edge and into the abyss below, the chain snapping off one part of the stone coffin.

"Well, come on! Don't just stand there staring, if you want to help then each of you get one too" (Y/N) said to both Barry and Jill as she walked to the other stone on her side of the coffin, frowning as she imagined having to try and explain everything to those two.

Jill and Barry watched her as she walked over to the second stone, Jill was frowning with suspicion, now thinking that Chris and Wesker may have been right, when she saw Berry holster his gun and walk to the stone on the right hand side of the platform and start to push, Jill then walked to the last one and started to push as well, she saw (Y/N) push her stone over and go over to Lisa.

"It's okay Lisa, look, they're helping us, we'll get your mother out of there in a few seconds, honey" the (H/C) haired girl said to the heavily mutated woman, who let out a mournful groan as her tentacles slowly retracted into her body again, she seemed to be calming down from the younger S.T.A.R.S. member talking to her and being near her.

Barry then pushed his stone off the platform, followed by Jill, once the chains were all detached from the coffin it's lid slid open with a rumble of stone-on-stone, they metal gate also slowly lifted upward again.

The three members of S.T.A.R.S. watched as Lisa walked around to the part of the Coffin that was opened, and reached inside.

"...Moth... errr..." she said in a raspy voice as she lifted her trembling hands out of the coffin, holding a Human skull delicately in both of her hands, her Mother's remains... (Y/N)'s heart broke at the sight and placed her hand on Lisa's misshapen shoulder to comfort the poor girl, as she did this she saw that there was something else on the coffin, she reached inside and picked up a Photo and a Letter.

To my Lisa

Day by day I can feel my consciousness drifting further and further away.

The shots given to me by men in white clothes made some of mommy's itching go away. Today they gave me another shot saying it was "nutrition".

When they give me the shots mommy can think straight, but mommy's shocked and sad because mommy's unable to think of you all the time.

Mommy's afraid. Afraid of forgetting everything, especially the memories of you and daddy... What your faces look like, how we used to be together... They're all starting to disappear into somewhere dark in my mind.

Oh Lisa, I wish I could touch your face and hold you in my arms right now, so that I can hold on to our wonderful memories of you and daddy.

Lisa we can't stay here any longer. We have to escape!

Listen to me Lisa. Our chance to escape is the next time we go to that lab together. We'll both pretend that we are both unconscious and when that man in white clothes is off guard that will be our chance.

When we're on the outside, let's look for daddy together. Okay sweetie? Be strong, Lisa.

Nov. 13, 1967

Jessica Trevor

(Y/N) frowned as she read the letter that Lisa's mother had written to her poor daughter, it was obvious that this escape attempt had failed, what had these disgusting people done to this poor girl over the years...?

"It's okay, Lisa, it's okay... come on, let's get you back to your home" (Y/N) said as she started to gently guide Lisa back the way they had come from, planning to take the poor, distraught girl back to her Cabin on the Mansion Grounds, however, as she went to guide the poor girl back to her Cabin, she heard footsteps behind them.

"(Y/N)! You owe us an explanation, what is this? How are you able to keep her from attacking you?!" Jill exclaimed as she went after them, soon catching up to them and hesitantly getting onto the lift platform with Lisa and (Y/N), however, Lisa then growled at her aggressively, clutching her Mother's skull close to her chest.

"It's okay, she won't take your mother away from you, Lisa, she's just upset because of everything that's happened so far, keep calm, okay?" (Y/N) said as she placed her hand on Lisa's back, gently rubbing her back and feeling terrible as she felt the poor girl's spine against her skin and the rags she wore.

Lisa let out a groan as she kept clutching her Mother's skull, the elevator platform then started to go back up again, (Y/N) standing between them so Lisa wouldn't try to attack Jill and Barry, but when (Y/N) looked up at Jill, before she noticed something.

"Hey, where's Barry gone?" (Y/N) asked as she looked back in confusion, Jill then spun around and groaned in frustration when she saw that Barry had taken the chance to disappear yet again!

"Damn it! Not again, but anyway... (Y/N), you need to explain this to me, what the heck's this about?" Jill groaned before she turned back to the teenager and motioned at Lisa, the elevator soon reached the Fountain area and they all came out, with Jill keeping her distance from the two, and watching Lisa cautiously.

"Okay, Jill... this is Lisa Trevor, she came here with her parents in the year 1967, her dad was George Trevor, the man who built this Mansion for Umbrella" (Y/N) began to explain as she gently placed her hand on Lisa's back, while she was glaring at the other two S.T.A.R.S. members and clutching onto her Mother's skull.

"I read the notes about it all, when George Trevor finished building this place Umbrella invited his family over to the Mansion, but when they arrived, they abducted Lisa and her mother while her father was finishing up his work, they experimented on them both with the Viruses they were making here, and it made Lisa like this" (Y/N) explained to Jill seriously, getting angry all over again a she went over what she read with the other two.

"My god..." Jill said as she covered her mouth in shock, Lisa then let out wheezing whimper at the memories, and (Y/N) frowned sadly and knelt down to comfort the traumatised woman.

"I know, I couldn't just leave this poor girl like this, so I promised to help her" (Y/N) said as she held Lisa's hand and looked her in the eye, trying to calm the poor girl.

"(Y/N), you can't be serious, look at her, whatever those people did to her she's not stable anymore, she might be dangerous!" Jill said to her as she looked at Lisa, cringing slightly as she remembered how Lisa had tentacles burst from her body when she got angry down in the Tomb.

"She's a victim, Jill!" (Y/N) she shouted loudly as she stood up and whirled around on Jill, feeling the full effect of protective mama bear adrenals flood her system.

"She's been stuck in this awful place for thirty years! Going through unimaginable pain and suffering all alone, having cold, evil people inject her with Drugs and Viruses and then just sit back and watch and see what they do to her, she was only a child when they did this, and you want me to just ignore her!?" (Y/N) shouted loudly, her voice echoing through the open space and making Jill step back in surprise at the fury on her face, even Lisa seemed taken aback from that protectiveness, it was just like...

"Now, if you don't mind, I will be taking this poor girl back to her Cabin and help her to calm down, I will join you later on" (Y/N) said as she took Lisa's hand and started to lead the stunned girl back to the fountain area, and jumped over the stone barrier with her, planning to take Lisa back to her Cabin and help her settle down, her eye were burning as she felt tears of frustration build up in her (E/C) eyes.

Why the hell did she get so angry? It was like... Lisa had caused her Maternal instincts to rear their head, which surprised the younger woman since she had never blown up like that before, she'd make sense of this later, for now... she had to look after Lisa.

Back with Jill, she looked after the two stunned as the rattle of chains and footsteps fade away slowly, she was stunned... she'd never seen (Y/N) explode like that before, even when she had bad days in the Office she'd never shouted before.

Suddenly the heavy metal doors behind her opened up, making her spin around and point her gun at the doorway, only to sigh in relief when she saw that it was Chris, he's managed to open the door to wherever he had just come from.

"Jill? Is that you?" Chris asked as he smiled slightly at seeing his close friend on the team again.

"Chris! Thank God... are you alright?" Jill asked him with a slight smile, feeling very relieved that he was okay, and that she wasn't alone now.

"Yeah, I found my way through this new part of the Mansion and just arrived here, I haven't managed to find (Y/N) yet, any luck with Barry?" Chris asked Jill as he approached her, the heavy door closing behind him, Jill frowned as she thought back to what happened with both (Y/N) and Barry in that underground Tomb.

"Chris, listen, it's (Y/N), there's something up with her for sure..." Jill said to him with a frown on her face, she felt conflicted about this... (Y/N) couldn't be a double-crosser, but, how was she able to get that girl Lisa to listen to her, even when she went ballistic at the stone coffin in the Tomb?

"What happened? Did she do something?" Chris asked her seriously, worried that either (Y/N) or Barry may have done something that had almost hurt or killed Jil, or that perhaps Jill had discovered something.

"Yeah... I cornered Barry and he tried to pull his gun on me, I managed to disarm him and I was about to get answers from him, but then, (Y/N) walked into the room with this, creature... she said it used to be Human, a girl called Lisa Trevor, she protected her and helped her" Jill explained to Chris, going over the main points of her encounter down in the Tomb.

"Wait, a creature? What are you talking about?" Chris asked her, sounding very concerned about the fact that there was a creature involved, and that (Y/N) could make it listen to her.

"Chris, she was... heavily mutated, she was wearing Human faces and she had tentacles burst out of her body!" Jill said to him, a little frightened because of the look that Lisa gave her.

"God... and (Y/N) was protecting her?" Chris asked Jill, sounding serious about this situation and the implications, Jill frowned and then nodded her head, confirming what she'd told him.

"Then Wesker may be right... (Y/N) might be the traitor" Chris said in disbelief as he looked to the ground, clenching his fist at the thought that (Y/N) may be the one responsible for the deaths of S.T.A.R.S.

But why? Why would she betray all of them? Did it have something to do with that girl, Lisa?
