Looking into a Mirror

We regrouped after the attack, more than half of our convoy were dead. We managed to get the tank out of the way and headed towards the gas station. Once we were there everyone filled up their tanks, our tanks were full but our spirits were bleak and empty.

Although the threat of infected was gone, everyone still remained tense, waiting for something bad to happen. Alice and I decided that our best choice at the moment was to find the helicopter and get everyone to Arcadia.

We managed to locate the helicopter and noticed a house in the middle of nowhere. There was a slight problem in retrieving the helicopter since the place was surrounded by infected. I grabbed Carlos's binoculars and zoomed in, it seems like the dead were attracted to the ditch filled with dead bodies. I did a double take when I saw that the dead bodies looked like Alice and I. 

"Um Carlos I think you need to see this." I handed him the binoculars.

He took it and glanced around before noticing the ditch. He glanced at me open mouthed and said," Am I seeing this right?"

I groaned," I always wanted a twin but I didn't think it would be a clone." Umbrella always found new ways to ruin my day.

Suddenly Carlos gripped his neck, my eyes widened in horror. Before he could stop me I pull his shirt down to reveal a large nasty bite wound. "Oh Carlos, why didn't you tell me?" 

"I didn't want to worry anyone and I knew it was too late."

"I could of helped you." I whispered.

He gripped my hands and made me look into his eyes," The infection has spread to my heart, I can feel it inside me. You couldn't have helped Amy."

"I'm so sorry." I said tears leaking out of my eyes.

"It's okay." Carlos said hugging me.

We headed back to the convoy and told them the news. Everyone took it differently, KMart was crying openly and Claire wore a blank mask, her eyes betrayed the raw emotion she felt. Alice was holding in her tears as she said good bye to Carlos.

After everyone was done grieving, I told them my plan, "If we can drive that tank over to the house we can blow it up. It would be the perfect diversion and we can use it to get into the place."

"I'll do it." Carlos said.

A couple of minutes later, Carlos was sitting in the driver's side ready to go.

Alice and I were following the tank and watched it hit zombies out of the way, it was heading towards a section of fence far enough away from the helicopter so it would remain undamaged. I watched as the tank flipped over, as the infected swarmed the vehicle. I counted down the seconds before the whole thing exploded.

The infected in the vicinity were immediately scorched and we sailed past them. There was a clear path through the horde and we made it to the house safely. The rest of the convoy followed us heading towards the helicopter. Everyone boarded the aircraft except Alice and I, KMart turned back to us, motioning us to come aboard.

I shook my head and backed away, "Sorry KMart but I have something I need to do. Stay safe okay? I'll see you in Arcadia." I said. She had tears in her eyes and wiped them away," You better not die, or I'm going to kill you." She said determinely. "Take care of them okay? Rain...Claire." I said. "We will." They nodded.The helicopter set off and I waved at Claire, she nodded at me and they went off into the horizon.

Now that the convoy was safe, Alice and I could take down Umbrella without having to worry about anyone. We ran into the house expecting soldiers to block our way. At first glance the house looked really cosy but as soon as we stepped in the dining table opened up to reveal an elevator shaft.

We descended into the dark abyss with our weapons ready to fire. The lights were flickering on and off and the walls were smudged with bloody hand prints. I stepped over a puddle of blood and cringed," This is so disgusting." I thought.

"This place gives me the creeps." I said.

"It's just like the hive." Alice replied. 

Our guns were out and scoping out the place. I nearly jumped in fright when I voice behind me said, "Welcome Project Alice, Project Amelia."

I whirled around to see a white version of the Red Queen. 

Alice said," I would say it was nice to meet you but your sister is a homicidal bitch."

I smirked at Alice and asked the A.I," What happened here?"

She replied," Doctor Isaac has injected himself with a large dose of the cure and has mutated. As you can see he is now rampaging around the lower decks of this facility.

"What is this place?" Alice asked.

"It is a testing facility." She said not giving anymore info.

"Testing what exactly." I said. 

I light flickered on behind us, illuminating a very strange sight. Alice and I were in some strange containers. "Oh hell no." I replied.

Our clones were in some sort of deep sleep, I reached out to touch the container when my clone woke up. She was gasping for air and the container quickly emptied, she fell out and I grabbed her around the waste before she could fall on the ground. 

I stared back into the eyes of the clone, seeing my own reflection.
