With Rebecca practicing, Chris decided to climb down the stairs to his left. He opened a door at the bottom.

  The kitchen Chris thought as he saw a fridge with spoiled meats and fruit. Next to the dirty counter-top stove was pots of unidentifiable, foul smelling meat with flies all over them. Chris went around a corner and found a service elevator leading up, but the power fuse was broken. Chris found a door across from where he entered, but it was locked from the inside, so he returned to where he entered.

  He opened the door, but quickly slammed it as one of those men gradually descended the steps. Chris backed up and got out his S.T.A.R.S. baretta handgun and anticipated it to open the door.When the monster enter, Chris aimed for the head and pulled the trigger. It's head came clear off. Chris opened the door out and ascended the stairs.

  Chris re-entered the piano room to see if Rebecca was finished.

  "Chris! Chris! I think I got it!" Rebecca shouted with glee as Chris closed the door out. Rebecca began to play a beautiful melody, and perfectly too.

   When she finished, Chris commented on her performance. "Practice does make perfect."

   A clicking noise happened as the two turned around to see a section of the wall began to rise, revealing a secret hallway.

   Chris went down the short hallway, and found a gold hexagonal medal with a star depicted on it.

  "What is it, Chris?" Rebecca asked.

  "I don't know, but it looks important. I think I'll keep it." Chris began to leave, but Rebecca didn't fallow him. "Rebecca, aren't you coming?"

   "I'll catch up later. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

   "Well, I guess I'll go now." Chris exited the lounge.

    Next time...Chapter 11: The Big A** Snake

  Jill went back into the foyer. She followed along the wall to her left and enter a new room.

  The walls were made of glass. To Jill's right was a view overlooking the Arklay Forrest where this all began. In front of her was a few of a terrace along the mansion. She walked to her right and entered a small metal gate.

  Now she was outside, and she went past a clear patio table with plastic seats waiting for someone who needs to sit down. She saw a small set of stairs, and as she went down, Jill saw Barry looking at something.

  "Barry,"Jill called out.

  Barry did an about face and said,"Jill, don't scare me like that. I need to show you something" Barry pointed to a cadaver in a S.T.A.R.S. uniform sitting on a seat.

  "Forest? No,"she said as she looked on the body's pecked face. "What could've dome this?"

  "Probably one of those d*** crows."

  Jill looked away, got away from the corpse, and informed Barry," I think there's a way out of this mad house. I found a back door, but it was locked. These and two other tokens could be the ticket out of here." Jill pulled out the gold emblems. She then said,"I'll go look for more." She approached the stairs, but Barry stopped her.

  "Jill, before you go, take this." Barry pulled out a gray revolver-style grenade launcher from Forest's cold, dead hands. He handed to Jill. "Take this with you. I don't think Forest will mind."

   Jill picked it up."Thanks, Barry." Jill returned to the foyer, while Barry stayed out on the porch.

       Chapter        End

   Next time...Chapter 10: Hungry for Killing

  Chris went down the lonely hallway and entered a door at the end.

  He was in a long but narrow hallway, with a door in front of him.To his right was an open area. To his left led to more doors and eventually a set of stairs. Chris reached for the knife in the sheath on his green vest, as he heard something chewing on something coming from the open area. He went there.

  The man he saw earlier in the dining room was eating what appeared to be the remains of something. Chris snuck up on him and began to slice him. Cuts were showing up all over the place until the man finally collapsed on the floor. Chris now saw what was left of the remains of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo member Kenneth Sullivan. Chris backed away from the sight.

  He took a peek in the door that was in front of the way he came in, but it was the dining room, and he continued scanning the area. Chris found a door near the end before the stairs and entered.

  Probably the lounge thought Chris as he saw a drink bar in the back and a grand piano against the wall, waiting to be used. Chris looked closer at the instrument and saw what looked like music on its stand. He picked it up  and read the cover. The Moonlight Sonata was the name of the piece. Chris laid it down and tried to play it.

   Unfortunately, Chris never learned to play the piano,so he played three awful, random notes. After that, he heard a door close, and turned around to see what came inside.

  "It's just me, Chris,"Rebecca assured him as she came inside. She walked to the piano."The Moonlight Sonata, huh?"

  Chris asked her,"Can you play?" She nodded to him, motioning yes. Rebecca began to play. She missed a few notes, played some off-key, and ended with a big slam on the keys.

  "What was that?"Chris asked her.

   "My interpretation is a bit off. If I practice, I should be better."

   "Okay, you can practice for a little bit. I'll come back soon."

   "Thanks, Chris"

   Chris left the room so Rebecca can practice the song.

               Chapter     End

    Next time...Chapter 9: Forest

  Jill returned to the hallway above the staircase, and went opposite of the way she climbed. She found a door without the handle broken off from her side. Jill continued on and found a door, which she entered.

  Red curtains were tied up against the brown wallpaper walls in this hallway. Jill went to her left, walked up to the wall, and found a picture frame that had broken glass sticking out. She continued on her right, passed a green metal door, turned right again, and went in a new room.

   An L-shaped hallway was this room, with a pillar standing in an open area. Jil went forth,but when she heard a door closed, she stopped. A S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team member with blond hair in an orange shirt rushed up against a wall in front of Jill. She approached him.

   "Richard!"Jill called out to him as she came up to him. Richard laid on the floor as Jill began to examine him. She could see that he was in pain."What happened?"she asked urgently.

   "Jill, one of those demons, a giant snake, bit me up in there," Richard said as he showed Jill the snake bite. The bite occupied a whole lot of his right arm."It poisoned me."

   Jill questioned quickly,"What can I do?"

   "There's some medicine in the drug room, in the west side. I didn't pick any up," Richard informed Jill."Please get me some."

   Jill answered as she got up,"I'll be back soon." She rushed out the door she entered from.

   To her left was another door that she entered. She was back in the foyer, and ran to the door above the dining room.

   In a haste-ful manner, she ran through the upper dining room, the hall above the stairs Chris entered a while ago, and dashed down them, and entered the drug room.

   She looked in the medicine cabinet, looking for the right serum. No, no, no, there it is! Jill thought in her head as she quickly snatched the medicine and a syringe, and left the room.

   Jill came back to the hallway where Richard was waiting.

  "Here it is. I'm going to inject it into you." Jill said as she got out the syringe. She filled it up with the medicine, and injected it into Richard's right arm.

   Richard said,"Thank you, Jill. I guess I'll just rest in here for a while."

  "You sure you'll be alright?" Jill asked.

  "Yes, I think I will."

   "Okay, then. I guess I'll see you later," Jill told Richard as she got up.

   "Jill, before I forget, take this with you." Richard reached for his side pack, and gave Jill a communications radio.

    Jill picked up the radio from his hands, and said,"Thanks, Richard." She went back into the curtain hallway.

        Chapter       End

   Next time...Chapter 8: Chris the (Bad) Pianist  

   Chris closed the door to the pharmacy behind him. He was once again in the hallway with windows. He started to continue on. When he approached the windows, dogs burst through them. He sprinted away from the dogs, found a door at the end of the hallway, and swiftly went inside and shut the door.

   Chris saw a two pathways. One led to a huge window, while the other led to some doors. He went down the door path. To his right was a door, and he went inside.

   A compact rectangular room was what Chris saw. White carpeting was clutching the floor. A normal bed was lined up against the wall next to him. Two pull-open doors were in front of him, but both were locked from the inside. A desk was in front of one of the doors. A diary occupied the surface. Chris picked up the musty diary, and began to read it:

    May 9, 1998

   Played poker tonight with Scott and Alias from security, and Steve from Research. Steve was the big winner, but I think he was cheating. Scumbag.

   May 10, 1998

   One of the higher-ups assigned me to take care of a new creature. It looks like a skinned gorilla. Feeding instructions were to give it live creatures.

    Chris stopped reading." Creatures? A skinned gorilla?" he wondered. He continued to read:

   When I threw in a pig, the creature seemed to play with it...tearing off the pig's legs and pulling out the guts before it actually started eating

   May 11, 1998

   At around 5 A.M., Scott woke me up. Scared the s*** out of me, too. He was wearing a protective suit. He handed me another one and told me to put it on. Said there'd been an accident in the basement lab.

  Chris paused again."Basement lab? Could there be one under this house?" he pondered. He read on:

   I just knew something like this would happen. Those bastards in Research never sleep, even on holiday.

  May 12, 1998

  I've been wearing the d***ed space suit since yesterday. My skin's getting grimy and feels itchy all over. The god d*** dogs have been looking at me funny, so I decided not to feed them today. Screw 'em.

  May 13, 1998

  Went to the Infirmary because my back is all swollen and feels itchy. They put a big bandage on it and told me I didn't need to wear the suit anymore. All I wanna do is sleep.

   May 14, 1998

  Found another big blister on my foot this morning. I ended up dragging my foot all the way to the dog's pen. They were quiet all day, which is weird.

  Then I realized some of them had escaped. Maybe this is their way of getting back at me for not feeding them the last three days. If anybody finds out, I'll have my head handed to them.

   May 16, 1998

  Rumours going around that a researcher who tried to escape the estate last night was shot. My entire body feels hot and itchy and I'm sweating all the time now.

  I scratched the swelling on my arm and a piece of rotten flesh just dropped off. What the hell's happening to me?

  May 19, 1998

  Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and eat doggie food.

  May 21, 1998

  Itchy itchy Scott came ugly face so killed him. Tasty.

   4 / / Itchy. Tasty.

   Chris laid down the dairy back on the desk."Wow,"he said to himself. He turned around and began to leave, but he saw the closet door shaking. Chris raised his gun. A man in old clothing managed to open the door. He raised his arms and tried to grab Chris. Chris did a quick sidestep and aimed for the man's cranium. Chris pulled the trigger, and the bullet shot straight through the person's head.

   Chris walked over the corpse and left the bedroom.

           Chapter           End

      Next time...Chapter 7: A Dangerous Snake Bite 

  Jill readied her new shotgun in this hall, as she saw another monster. She aimed for his head, and fired away. Its head fell of as it was collapsing on the cold, wooden floor. She got to the end of the corridor and went through a steel door.

  She looked around and noticed she was outside of the murderous mansion. She followed the pathway and came upon a cold, metal door. She tried to open it, but it was looked. "D*** it!"she said. She noticed something to the side. It was a board, with four hexagonal holes that made it look like something could fit in them. "I should probably remember this," Jill told herself. She made her way back inside, and went in a door next to the ones she first entered from.

   Jill heard two slow footsteps and two moans. She got out her shotgun. Bam! The first target was decapitated. Jill aimed for the kneecaps for the other one, and POP! went the sound of the kneecaps breaking, forcing the man to crash on the floor.Jill smashed her left leg into its head. She found a set of stairs and climbed up.

    As she went up to the second floor, there weren't anymore of those creatures in this hallway with blue carpeting. She found another door and entered.

    She was now in a small rectangular room with a brown carpet and a stuffed moose head on one of the walls. She went in a door on her left.

     Jill was in a room with unidentifiable creatures in a fish tank. A bug collection was hung on the wall on her left. further up was a work desk, with one Barry looking in a folder. Jill walked up to him.

     "Barry, find anything interesting?" Jill asked as she started to walk up to Barry. He looked back and showed her the yellow folder.

     "I found this,"he said as he handed her the file."Can you make anything out of it?"

     Jill began to read the only paper in it,a letter.The top was ripped of, but the rest was just nothing interesting.

     "I don't know," Jill answered.

      "Okay, then."Barry said."I forgot to tell you. I found this." He showed her a hexagonal gold colored token with a carving of a moon.

      "Maybe you should take it,"Barry requested as he handed to it to Jill. "Tell me if you find anything interesting." He left.

      Jill was looking at it closely and noticed something about it. It was the same size as those holes. When Jill was about to leave, she noticed something stuck behind the tank. It was a token similar to the moon one, but it had a sun depicted on it. She picked it up, and went on her way.

                            Chapter     End

      Next time...Chapter 6: Itchy. Tasty.

   Chris looked on to see that he was right above the dining room,in a room with wooden flooring near the walls only. He just walked on admiring a stained glass window. Next to the window was a wooden door. He went inside.

    Now, Chris readied his purple colored baretta as he saw three men moaning and gradually close in on Chris. He blazed through them and came to a wooden staircase. He descended down the steps.

   Chris came upon a corridor lined with small windows in front of him. Before he continued on, he found a door hidden next to the bottom of the stairs. He cautiously proceeded to the next room.

   "Get away!"a person's voice shrieked as he or she was spraying a can of bug spray into Chris's green eyes.

    "Ow!"Chris responded in pain,"what was that for?"

    The voice apologized,"Oh, no! I'm sorry. I thought you were one of those monsters."

     As Chris slowly gained his vision back, he could see a medicine cabinet to his left, and an unused white bed in front of him. Probably the drug room he thought to himself.

     He could identify the person that apologized. It was a woman with short brown hair, shorter than Jill's, with jade green eyes and wore a white bulletproof vest with a red medical cross on the back. Chris pondered about her age. Could be about the same age as Claire.

     The woman introduced herself."I'm Rebecca Chambers. I just joined the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team just last month. Our engine failed and crashed into the ground. Everyone survived, but we got separated. Who are you?"

      "I'm Chris Redfield,"Chris informed Rebecca."I'm part of Alpha team."

      "Oh, that's good."

      "Say, why don't you come with me? It seems kind of scary here."

      "Okay, then, but I'll come with you later. I should build up supplies here for now."

      "Well, I guess I'll see you later,"Chris said to Rebecca as he began to leave. He opened the door, and left the medical room.

                Chapter      End

     Next time...Chapter 5: The Letter

    Jill opened the doors and walked inside. She could that this room was an art gallery with pictures of people on the walls,old pottery stored in the back,and a statue of a blue woman in the center. She saw a nearby door and went through.

   This time,it was a hallway with stands and tables lined up together on her left. Two large glass window was farther up to her right.

   As she approached the first window, the glass exploded as one dog similar to the ones outside. She thought,Crap!,in her head as she began scurrying away from the dog. When she approached the other window, the glass once again shot out as another canine leaped out at Jill. She scrambled out the brown door in front of her."That was too close,"she whispered under her breath.

   Now, she was in an irregular shaped corridor with beige wallpaper and a gigantic clear glass window. She saw another door and walked through it.

   Jill could see that she was in a bathroom complete with yellow wallpaper, a sink and a muddy brown table to her right, a white bathtub in front of her, and an un-working toilet in a private space. Che went over to the tub.

   Upon closer inspection, Jill could see that it was full with green-ish bathwater. She gazed into the dirty water.

   Suddenly, a hand reached out of the murky water. Jill jumped back and grabbed the table. Slowly, another pale man in dirty ragged clothing reached out and grabbed onto Jill's right leg. As Jill was trying to struggle out of his grip, she lifted up her free leg and jammed her foot into the man's head. Red blood started to ooze out of the corpse and onto the jade carpet. When Jill began to look at what she did, she covered her mouth with her hands, ran for the toilet, and began hurling. After five minutes,she finished and left the bathroom.

   That was disgusting she thought to herself as she shut the door. She continued on,passed the wall-long window, and enter a new room.

   She was in a compact square room with a white mural on all four sides,and entered a door to her right.

   Jill could see a fire place to her right,a sofa,two armchairs,a tan coffee table between the seats,and brown shag carpeting. Must be the living room Jill thought. She began to inspect the room. She noticed a mounted brown wooden shotgun on some hooks. Jill picked it up,but she didn't notice the black hooks rising. She decided to leave the parlor.

  Jill stopped for a minute as she noticed plaster falling on her sea-blue beret covering her short brown hair and on the blue shoulder pads on top of her cerulean shirt. She looked up. The ceiling began to slowly sink!

  "Oh God,what did I do now?"Jill asked herself. She tried moving the handles on both doors, but they wouldn't budge!

   "Chris! Barry! Wesker! Get me out of here!" Jill screamed as she desperately began pounding the hallway door with her fists.

    Barry came on the other side."Jill!"he yelled.

    "Barry! Get me out of her!"Jill shouted as she began to lie on the floor.

     "Jill! I'm going to shoot the lock out."Barry told Jill as he grabbed his silver magnum. He shot out the lock, and opened the door. He could see that the ceiling was about to crush her."Grab my hand!"Barry commanded Jill as he reached out his hand. Barry pulled her out moments before the ceiling reached the floor. They both collapsed to the floor.  

     Barry told Jill,"That was a close one. One more second, and you would've become a Jill Sandwich!"

     "Thanks,Barry,"Jill responded."But Barry, weren't you supposed to be in the DINING room?"

      He answered as he got up,"I had to take care of something first."

      "Okay, then,"Jill repeated when she rose,"and thanks again."

      "Yea,yea,I hear you,"Barry said as he started to go back to the main hall.

      Jill was alone. She entered some nearby double doors.

                        Chapter       End

     Next time....Chapter 4: Bug Spray Hurts!

  The trio walked through the double doors leading to the foyer. They began to wonder one thing, where was Wesker?

   "Wesker!"Barry yelled, waiting for a response, but one wasn't given. Barry told Jill and Chris,"Help me look for Wesker, and don't leave this hall for the time being."

    "Okay,"Jill and Chris responded.

    Chris began to look upstairs,while Jill looked under the huge staircase,but both was empty.

    Barry asked,"Jill,Chris,find anything?"

    "Nope,"Jill answered.

    "Same here,"Chris added."It's like he disappeared."

    "We should split up,and search the entire mansion.Chris,take the 2nd floor west side.I'll start in the dining room."

    Jill said,"I guess I'll start with the door on the opposite side."

   "Okay, that'll work."Barry commented.

    As they began to separate, Barry stopped Jill for a moment.

    "Jill,before I forget,here's a lock pick. Since you are the master of unlocking, you'd be better off with it."Barry said as he gave Jill a silver colored lock pick.

    "Thanks,Barry,"Jill said thanking him.

    Jill,Chris,and Barry split up and went their separate ways.

                                  Chapter     End

   Next time......Chapter 3:Jill Sandwich, Anyone?

  The four survivors burst through the front door,sealing it behind them. They all started to examine the room. It was a huge foyer, with double doors to the left and right of them. A grand staircase decorated with lit candles and a red carpet was against the opposite wall,climbing up to the second floor.

   "What a mansion!"stated Wesker.

   Jill said,"At least we're away from those dogs."

   "Too bad for Joseph,though"added Barry.

   Bang! A gunshot was heard.

   "What was that?"questioned Chris.

    "Sounded like gunfire,"replied Barry.

    Wesker suggested,"Why don't you guys go investigate that noise. I'll stay here in case those dogs break in."

     "Let's go,"commanded Jill.

     Barry,Chris,and Jill went through the doors to the left.

     They saw a large room with a dining table in the middle,a glass chandelier above the room,paintings on the walls, and a fireplace on the other wall.

     "...a dining room"Barry said as he began to go towards the fireplace.

    Chris and Jill followed.

    As Jill and Chris neared Barry,who reached the fireplace,a door handle on a nearby door began to move.

   "Who's there?"Jill called out.

    The door slowly opened and revealed a pale-white man in tattered clothes. He slowly began to go towards Jill and Chris;he reached out for them.

    Chris commanded the man,"Stay back!"

    Barry saw this and got his magnum out."Chris!Jill!Stay back!He's insane!"Barry yelled at them. He started blasting the man,who fell down after a few shots.

    "It shouldn't have taken that many bullets to kill,"Barry babbled.

     "We better report this to Wesker,"suggested Jill to Chris and Barry.

     The three went to the door leading to the foyer and opened it.
