Well, here goes Chp 7. Enjoy ^_^
Note-It will be awhile before Chp 8 will be up because I'm going out of town for about a week ;_;

The bullet missed...barely. It grazed my left cheek, but that shot was intentional. Nicholai was toying and warning me. He was trying to play mind games, but I wasn't going to fall prey to them. He smirked at me at as he placed his gun away.
"Heh. You're one brave girl, but being brave like that will get you kill."
Figuring that he would not kill me here, I holstered my gun.
"But that same thing will keep me alive."
Still giving me that same damn smirk, Nicholai walked over to me with one hand extended toward me. For some unknown reason, I allowed him to wipe the blood that exited from my wound. Then afterwards, that sadistic bastard tasted my blood and gave me a sadistic look to go along with it.
"You're one sick bastard."
"But I'm also a smart bastard. I hope that you have fun at the Dead Factory."
As he was turning away from me, he began to laugh outrageously. He continued to laugh like that as he exited the Sewer Office. His laughter worried me. That laughter was not from a sane man. Also I was curious to know how he knew where I was going and my doubts about Carlos were starting to deepen.
I searched the remainder of the office, but I didn't find anything useful. I left the same way that Nicholai left and I ended up in a graveyard with a few zombies. Noticing that the path leading to the gate was clear, I wasted no time running over to the gate. I reached the gate and tried to open it.
"Dammit. It's locked."
I started to look around for another exit, but the zombies were making their present known by coming over me. Those zombies were hungry for my flesh, but I didn't find the idea of being lunchmeat interesting. Going with my gut instincts, I started climbing over the gate. I was amazed by the speed of these zombies. I was barely halfway up the gate when they surrounded me. One of them grabbed hold of my leg as I was hurrying to climb over. I could feel his fingers digging into my skin as I struggled to get free. Before that zombie's teeth touch my leg, I was able to kick my leg free and made it over the gate. As my tired body landed on the cold, damp cement, I could hear the moans of the undead beasts as they tried to get through the gate. I didn't hesitate to get off the ground and run for the Dead Factory.
Amazedly, the bridge that led to the Dead Factory was much closer as I thought, but Raccoon City wasn't the same as a year ago. When I got to the bridge, a reoccurring nightmare was waiting for me-Nemesis. He was in the very center on the bridge, blocking my way to my last hope. I couldn't take this anymore. I wanted Nemesis gone once and for all. I had two choices- either push him off the bridge or jump off in to the river below. There was no way that I was going to let Nemesis frighten me into jumping off the bridge. Only having one true option, I charged for Nemesis. I was going to use all of my momentum to force him off the bridge.
Everything that occurred afterward went in slow motion. I plowed into Nemesis and succeeded in knocking him off the bridge, but I paid the price by falling along with him. The fall down to the river felt like an eternality. Finally, I felt the impact of landing into the river. For a moment, I thought that I could swim away before Nemesis surfaced. Then I felt a heavy weight attached to my leg and pulled me down. I struggled to free my leg from Nemesis's grasp, but it seemed hopeless. I was being pulled deeper into the river and Nemesis wasn't letting go.

Well, that's the end of Chp 7. I know that you're getting tired of me leaving you hanging with cliffhangers/semi-cliffhangers, but I'm not used to write a story with more than one chapter, but hey whatever works.
Note-It will be awhile before Chp 8 will be up because I'm going out of town for about a week ;_;
