The Knight (BOOK #1)

Saved by the bell

"September 30th, 1998... It's a day I'll never forget. The cop inside me died that day. That nigth, Racoon City was wiped out, thanks to the bioweapons created by Umbrella. Somehow, I made it out. But too many others... weren't so luck. I was ''asked'' later to join to a top-secret government program. Not that I had a choice. The training, the punishing missions... nearly killed me, but at least they kept my mind off everything. If I could just forget what happened that night- the pain, even for a second... This time, it can be different. It has to...."

Those where my thougths when I was in the police car, arriving to a forgotten and small place in Spain. Two spanish police men where in the front seats, driving me to the village. My mission rigth now: Rescute the president's daugther, Ashley Graham. How ironic, it was my first day protecting her and her family and she gets kindaped. Why are my first days always bad?... I don't fucking know, they just are. I guess I only have bad luck...

Anyway. I eventually arrived to the village, a pretty old-fashioned place, it was good tho. I entered to a cabin. Inside, there was a man, putting firewood to a bonfire. "Excuse me, sir. Have you seen this girl?" I told him as I showed him a picture of Ashley. He looked at me. His eyes where red, his face was venous and his skin was pale... "What the hell?" I thougth. "¿Qué haces aquí? ¡Largate, cabrón!" He yelled at me, in spanish. (Obviously, idiot! You're in Spain!) From the little I understood, he wanted me to leave, he sounded mad.. so mad. "I'm sorry sir" I said. Before I left, he grabbed a shovel and began to follow me quietly...

"¡DETRAS DE TÍ, IMBÉCIL!", a villager yelled as he ran toward me, with a stick full of nails and sharp things to hit me with it. "UN FORASTERO!", another said. My heart was beating fastly, my body was full of fear and my thougths wheren't clear. Those where not zombies, they where... people with conscience, but infected with a kind of parasite.

"YES!", I thougth for myself when i found a cottage where to hide. I quickly got inside and I blocked the door behind me. I took a deep breath and ordered my thougths.

"Shit! What should I do?!" I said for myself, running a hand througth my hair as I tried to think.

BRUM, BRUM, BRUM, BRUM!

I went pale, my heart stopped for a second. What the hell did I just heard?! I slowly looked out of the cabin's window. "HOLY SHIT! IS THAT A CHAINSAW?!?!" I said. The tall and stong infected man approached slowly to my place, holding a fucking chainsaw on his hands. I had no ammo left, and I don't think a combat knife could kill that thing...

I got out of the cabin, and I started running and hiding from those crazy villagers. I was sweating, and I had several wounds around my body. The sound of that chainsaw filled my ears and terrified me more and more. Death was on my heels and all those nigthmares about Racoon City appeared again, in the back of my mind.

When I was about to give up, a glorious sound echoed through the town: Church bells.

"Es hora de rezar..." a villager said as everyone stopped following me and began to go to the church. "Lord Saddler..." Another said. Everyone left the place and suddently, I was alone in the middle of the village.

"Where's everyone going? Bingo?" I said, wondering why everyone was gone now.

(Ada's POV:)

I was looking at him, my honey-coloured eyes watching all his actions. A smirk appeared on my face as I thougth: "Oh Leon... you don't need to thank me, sweetheart."

I put down my rifle after shooting to the church's bells to make them sound. I watched as all the ganados where going inside the place of praise. My hearing aid rang with a deep and familiar voice.

"You have the sample, Wong?" The man said. "I just arrived and you're asking me if I finished? How exigent, Albert..." I replied, rolling my eyes. "It's Wesker, for you..." He said with annoyance, I could imagine him rolling his eyes in his office. "It has no sense, Wesker is your last name, it's not even your name..." I said teasing, just to piss him off. "Just call me how I told you to, Ada" He huffed. "Rigth, anyway, Albert sounds so goofy." I said, clarely knowing that he was mad now. "YOU LITTLE-!" I heard him taking a deeeeeeeep breath to calm down, that made me smile.

"The next time that you say that my name is... goofy... I swear I'm going to kill you." He said, a bit calmer now. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm getting the sample now." I said rolling my eyes and smiling. "You better, Wong. And about Leon... he migth be an inconvenience for my plans. I want him dead." He said, with his usual arrogant tone. My eyes opened with a mix of fear and anger. "Sorry Wesker, I'm not doing that..." I thougth for myself.

"Sure, but if it seems unnesessary I'm not doing it." I said firmly. "It sounds fair..." Wesker replied. "Ok, I got to go. I'll give you uptades later, goofy Albert" I smiled. "YOU LITTLE SON OF A-" I hanged the call before he could finish.

"Well, I guess i got to start moving..." I thougth with a little smirk. I shooted my hook gun to a house to get in there and I started going to my objetive.
