3 Months Later...

December 27

Two helicopters flew through the clouds towards an isolated island in the sea, transporting two prisoners, the island was known as Rockfort Island, which was owned by the Umbrella Corporation.

A while after landing, the guards took one of the prisoners to their cell and removed the handcuffs. "Your identification number is WKD4496..." One of the guards said as he removed the bag from the prisoners head.

"Welcome to your new home." The guard added as the prisoner turned and glared at him, only to be knocked out after being hit in the head by his rifle.

The prisoner landed hard on the floor and slowly drifted into unconsciousness.

"Her name is Claire Redfield. We caught her trespassing in our Paris Lab facility ten days ago. She apparently infiltrated the complex looking for her lost brother, Chris Redfield, one of the surviving members of RPD's famous STARS teams."

December 17, Ten days Earlier

"Claire! Just go! Get out of here!"

Claire watched as several guards pinned Alex to the floor, knowing she didn't stand a chance against so many, she listened to his words and ran on down the hallway, two guards moved to pursue her.

As she neared the end of the hallway, a helicopter rose into view just out the window, blinding her with its searchlight. Claire shielded her eyes with her hands and noticed a minigun at the side of the helicopter aiming right at her.

Thinking quickly, Claire ran back and between the two guards and immediately leaped into a seperate hallway just as the helicopter unloaded a hail of bullets, killing the two guards in the process.

She immediately got back to her feet and rushed on ahead. The helicopter followed and began firing its minigun at her, but Claire was fast enough to avoid getting hit. The helicopter continued to fire, destroying every window that Claire ran by in the process, but despite all of the bullets that were being fired, it missed every shot.

Claire saw an open door up ahead and immediately leaped through and landed at the bottom of the stairs inside. She immediately got back to her feet and was about to move on, only to stop when she saw a large group of guards up ahead, who all raised their weapons at her.

With no way of escaping, Claire put her hands up and watched as the guards slowly made their way towards her. Looking around for a way out, Claire eventually noticed a few gas tanks just behind the guards.

Acting quick, Claire dropped her gun, which managed to get most of the guards to lower their own weapons, after which she dropped herself to the floor and grabbed her gun and fired several shots into the gas tanks, which resulted in a huge explosion that sent all the guards flying. She turned her back to shield herself from the pieces of rubble that were sent flying towards her.

After a few seconds, she turned to see the room was now covered in flames, with the guards scattered all over the place, some injured and some probably dead.

Before she could move on however, she heard footsteps coming down the stairs behind her, forcing her to quickly glance around and aim her gun at the man who was now in front of her. Unfortunately, the man was just as swift as she was, for he already had his own gun pointed at her.

"Don't move." The man said with a glare.

All Claire could do was just glare back.

December 27

Claire slowly started to regain consciousness, but as she did, she was able to hear what sounded like explosions outside, forcing her to quickly push herself to her knees. She looked around and noticed the area seemed to be shaking a little, most likely due to the explosions, she could tell easily tell it was happening outside thanks to the dust that fell from the ceiling.

To make things worse, the light eventually went out, and the explosions themselves eventually stopped. The only sound that filled the air now was drips of water. Claire put her hands on the bars of her cell and looked around, although, since it was so dark, she could barely see anything.

Footsteps. Claire turned to the only door in the room and saw someone emerge from the shadows, a man, which she could easily tell from the appearance.

The man slowly made his way over to her cell door, causing her to back away from the bars.

"If I were equipped with a lighter, I could see outside..." Claire thought to herself. Just then, she remembered she had a lighter in her pocket and took it out.

The lighter lit the area up just a little, but enough to reveal the mans face staring right at her, forcing Claire to gasp in surprise.

After a few long seconds, the man unlocked her cell door and opened it, he then tilted his head towards the exit before walking to the other side of the room.

Claire remained in the cell as she was still unsure of what was happening, she watched the man sit down and take something out of his pocket, after which he threw it to the floor. "Perfect!" He said before turning to Claire. "Go on, get out of here. This place is finished. I don't know, it might have been a special forces team. But in any case this prison's been taken over, the troops have been wiped out."

After hearing those words, Claire slowly exited her cell. "What are you saying?"

The man faced her. "You're free to leave the complex. But you may as well know you have no chance of getting off this island."

"And what about you? What are you going to do?" Claire asked, obviously concerned about him despite the fact that he was the one who caught her, she could never forget his face.

"Don't worry about me." He replied.

Claire looked around, besides the combat knife on the desk and the handgun bullets, she didn't see anything of use, before leaving the room, she turned to the man again. "Hey, is my friend here on this island too?"

"You mean the young man who was with you when you infiltrated the Umbrella facility? Yes, he is." He replied.

"Where is he?" Claire asked.

The man sighed. "I'm sorry, but I can't remember, I do know that he is in another cell, somewhere else on the island, but where it is, I can't remember."

Claire nodded and turned her back to him. "Are there any other survivors?"

"Perhaps, I'm not sure, but it's a possibility..." He stopped and took a deep breath. "Now go." He finished before lowering his head, drifting off into unconsciousness.

After exiting the room, Claire found herself in a thin narrow hallway, thankfully her lighter made it easy to see as she found more handgun bullets as she made her way through. "Now, if only I had a gun." She muttered to herself, knowing she a good number of handgun bullets at her disposal.

As she reached the corner of the hallway, she saw that there were stairs up ahead, and considering the light up there, she knew they led outside.

Much time had gone by ever since she was brought to this island, the last thing she remembered was running through that Umbrella facility, and then getting caught by the man back in the other room. She didn't have a clue where she was, but now that she was free, this was her chance to get away.

The first thing she had to do was figure out where she is, the second thing she had to do is find out where Alex is and rescue him, and finally she would have to escape. She was just hoping that there was at least a helicopter or something that would allow them to fly right out, but it also depended on the situation.

Claire shook her head and focused on the first task, finding out where she was, she immediately headed up the stairs and outside, it was raining. "Great, perfect time for this weather." She muttered as she made her way through the small graveyard area, she gave little attention to the crashed vehicle nearby.

She took out the combat knife and looked around to make sure the area was clear before moving on. But as she did, the vehicle that was crashed into the wall exploded, and something fell out. Before she could find out what it was, a person slowly climbed out of the vehicle.

He looked liked one of the islands soldiers judging by his clothing, but that's not what had her attention. He was on fire, yet he didn't scream, he slowly got to his feet and stared right at her.

It was just then that Claire immediately figured it out, he was covered in cuts and holes from head to toe and his eyes were the same, he was a zombie.

At first she tried to deny it but she had already been through this kind of situation before so there was no denying anything. Unfortunately, as the zombie got closer, Claire fell to ground, and to make matters worse, the zombie was almost within reach.

Just then, something grabbed her arm, Claire turned to see that it was another zombie, coming out of the ground. She pulled her arm back and shoved the zombie before rushing away from it, only to gasp when she saw another zombie rising from the ground.

She was planning on running in another direction, only to see that option slip away when another zombie burst out of the ground at the corner of the area. As Claire looked around for a way out, several more zombies started to rise from the ground, the sight of this just made her scared to the core.

Claire turned to run back but was too late as the zombie that grabbed her earlier was now limping towards her. Upon getting within reach, the zombie lunged at her but Claire managed to dodge it and shove it to the ground.

After crawling away from the zombie, Claire finally managed to get back to her feet, but there was no way to escape because she was now completely surrounded. She was now saying to herself continuously in her head, how did this happen?

Despite everything she had been through, this still scared her. She escaped one nightmare, only to land right into another.

Authors Notes: Well first off, I'm back, and so is Enduring the Evil. We are now at Enduring the Evil CODE: Veronica X, not the beginning of a new trilogy just so you know, but rather the story to connect previous ones with future ones. Second, I'm sure you're wondering what took so long for this story to get started up. In all honesty, I had, ALOT of stuff I had to take care of and it prevented me from getting to work on this, to make things more annoying my laptop went dead and I had to get a new one, problem is, the new one is so complicated, it's almost as if there's a higher power out there trying to stop me from winning. Anyway, I'm just glad I got this done, but I would like to point out that due to complications, chapters won't be done as quick as they used to now, so sorry about that, but then, I might be lucky and finish some quickly from time to time. On another note, I'd like to thank the people who resubmitted their OCs as well as the new authors who recently submitted, it's good to have you back and it's also good to have new faces, I promise your characters will appear soon enough. Please Review, feedback is always appreciated, hope you enjoyed the chapter!
