Chris and Jill went inside the mansion by the path outside. When they got more into the hallway, they heard a door close behind them. They looked back and saw what was like a large green reptile on two legs with claws on their hands. It ran right at Jill, but Chris unloaded three of the five remaining shells in the unloaded shotgun. Chris watched it squirm around until it became quiet.
"What is that?"Jill wondered.
"It probably is deadly,"Chris said."We should split up again."
"Sure,"Jill responded."I'll go check in here." She pointed to then stairs hallway.
"I guess I'll go look on the west side again." He left and entered the main hall. He went back to the hallway above where he met Rebecca the first time. He saw two of those new monsters and brought out the shotgun and swiftly ended their lives. To the right of the stairs were two doors. The one at the end was locked from the inside. The other was unlocked when he placed in the helmet key. He entered.
Chris saw a stuffed deer head and a stuffed bear head on two walls, with a stuffed eagle between them. On the floor were two brown arm chairs on the outside of a coffee table. A note was on the table. Chris picked it up and read it.

Umbrella did all of this! Chris thought to himself after putting the letter down on the table. He found a light switch and turned it off. He could see something glowing in the stuffed heads and took them out of the large animals. There was a topaz,and a sapphire. Chris took them with him. He went out the room,down the stairs, and into the bedroom hallway. Across the bedroom was a door, and Chris went inside.
Areally small room was what Chris entered. He looked at a tiger statue in a wall and saw that it had no eyes. Chris got out the jewel and saw that the topaz and sapphire could fit inside. He placed the blue gem in the left eye, and the statue turned around and revealed a fully loaded Colt Python magnum with a clip of ammunition. When Chris took it out, the statue turned back around and revealed it's face. Chris put in the topaz in the other, and it spun around and showed a book named Eagle of South, Wolf of North. Chris lifted it, but it felt heavier than what it should be, so he opened it and saw a shiny gold circular medallion with an eagle on it. Chris threw down the book and took the medal.
Chris figured he saw what was left of the mansion and began to leave. When he got to the hall where he encountered the new enemy, he heard a shriek coming from up the stairs. That sounded like Rebecca!. Chris raced up the stairs, entered the curtain hallway, and entered a door to his right.
Rebecca was screaming for help as one of those monsters was slowly approaching her. Rebecca reached for the door, but she couldn't open it. Chris, being the hero that he is, got out his new magnum, and shot one bullet in the creatures skull, filling it instantly. Rebecca calmed down seeing how Chris saved her.
"Thank you so much, Chris," Rebecca said as she got up.
Chris wondered,"What happened?"
"I ran out of ammo for my gun."
Chris gave her two clips for her baretta. "Just be careful next time, okay?"
"I think I will. Again, Chris, thanks."
"No problem," Chris said as he left Rebecca in the study.
