Anna looked at the window in the back of the building before nodding and running over to it. She broke through it and reached her hand out to Richard. "You go first," she said, sternly. She held his shotgun and placed it under her arm, helping him climb over.
Once he did, she handed his weapon back to him and tried climbing out. She then jumped out the window, landing on the ground in an ackward position. Her legs propped up on the side of the building and her upperhalf on the ground. She had slammed her chin on the ground, biting down on her lip.
"Ow ow ow ow..." she groaned. Inside the bear had managed to burst through the barricade, clawing at the air.
"C'mon," Richard said, grasping beneath her arms and pulling ehr up to her feet. With that, they made their escape, re-entering city limits.
[Richard and Anna are now in Raccoon City, undecided]

Arc looked down at Anna and Richard from the sky, they were so close to getting a ride out of here. The rope ladder had been ripped off, and there was too many trees around the area to make a landing. But she waved them off and he knew this was for the better, its what Anna wanted, and that wasnt a choice for him to make. Arc turned to the chopper pilot, and then nodded in confirmation that it was clear to take off. The the helicopter flew past the cabin in the air, Arc moved to the back of the aircraft grabbed a supply drop bag, stuffing in a walkie talkie and then pulling it tightly. Throwing it out of the window, he saw it land somewhere in the trees. He knew Anna would see it, and would respond as soon as she did. He feld bad for the old man, but he wasnt stupid, they would meet again someday. The chopper flew off back toward Raccoon City, in search of a safe place...
[Arc now leaving the Dirt Path]
~~~~~~~~~~
Rich approached the cabin just in time to see the chopper hovering over, trying to find a stop to land. As the rope ladder was cast down, young Arc climbed up into the aircraft, and then motioned for the others to do the same. But when he saw the bear tearing at the ladder, he backed away from the scene. As it came falling down, Rich tossed the food sack for the bear, and then ran off in the direction of the chopper. As the cabin left out of his sight, he stopped in the woods, staring up at the helicopter through the treetrops. Rich saw the supply drop fall about a half a mile north, as he contemplated on going for it. But he stopped, and then looked back up as the chopper flew off. He knew Arc had sent it out for his young lady friend. Rich grinned, and then went out onto the dirt path, walking back toward Raccoon City. They would cross paths once again, sometime in the future...

[Emily and Mr.D have entered the Dirt Path]
As the group entered the long, winding trail through the forest,a loud roar could be heard from up ahead. The entire group stopped in their tracks among hearing the ferocious cry. Rick pushed Julie back a little, carefully analyzing their environment.
Emily narrowed her eyes and was about to step forward when she heard rustling of the bushes. She spun around but didn't see anything or anyone...or rather, she thought she had seen a man and woman but maybe it was just her imagination.
"Emily, let's go check it out. Mr. Doucette, you wait here with Rey and Julie. We'll go up ahead."

"Right..." The old feller crouched down in place, nearly eye level with the younger girl, Julie. While in this positon, he aimed his sidearm around then, making sure everyone was safe. He was completely fine with staying back and making sure the youngins were safe, it felt more like a duty. It was good to stop and have a little rest, aswell, even if it lasted just a minut or so. But the loud roar, Richard had a feeling he knew exactly what it was, and it didnt thrill him. Something was out there, and it was just a matter of time before it found us. "I know that sound, ive heard it before with Joey..."

Emily and Rick sprinted up ahead, prepared for the worse, and in need of clearing their path. All they found was a crushed SUV at first. Emily glanced at it for a period of time before going up to it and peering on one of the windows that were barely in tact.
"This truck..." she murmured.
Rick came up behind her, tilting his head a little at her. "What about it? You know the owner...? Er, are there any uh, bodies in there...?" he asked.
"No...but I know who this belonged to...I got here via this SUV with my cousin. She must've...That man and woman! That was Anna! She must've found Richard then.Hah! She's still alive, which means she'll be headed towards Kentucky for her father and kids."
Rick scoffed, staring off at the cabin. He nudged her side a little and nodded ahead. "Looks like they had company too."
"Wha--oh s***!" she swore, seeing the giant, undead grizzly. It stood on it's back legs and roared out, exposing gunshot wounds were it apparently had been shot at. The woman frowned. There was no way her pistol could take out that thing...
Rick jumped infront of her and began firing at the thing with his shotgun. "Emily! Go back and get that rifle! Hurry! I'll hold it off!"
"B-But Rick..."
"GO NOW!"
Emily clenched her fists tightly before running back to find the others.

Just then, there was loud, rapid burst of heavy gunfire. Richard had heard the trouble, and already moved into action. Rey was looking after Julie closely, so there werent any worries. Between that shotgun and his own Assault Rifle, they would be able to take the bear down. But still, Richard unlached the rifle from his back, and then called to Emily. "The rifle, missy!"
Richard crouched down again as Emily grabbed the rifle, and then aimed at the wild animal, once again firing a burst of rounds into its thick skin. The bullets easily peirced the beast, but it wouldnt go down without a fight. After a few shotgun shells unloaded, the bear was in range for Emily to get a headshot. "Go on, shoot!"

Emily lined up the hairs in the scope and the bear's head. Right when she squeezed onto the trigger, the bear immediately left range, causing her to miss. "Dammit!" she cussed.
It was going after Rick, whom was trying to quickly reload. Emily lowered the rifle and slung it over her arm, sprinting forward in hopes of making it before it was too late.
When she neared, Rick had cocked his shotgun and was right about to fire, unfortunately the bear threw itself ontop of him, ripping away at his shoulders at this point.
Emily's eyes widened. "NO! RICK!" she yelled, blindly running to the scene. Angered, she jumped on it's back, punching and kicking at it to force it off. The bear got onto it's hind legs once more, clawing at the air in attempts to get her off.

"Dammit..." Richard saw the trouble, but couldnt get a clear shot with Emily in the way. The second the bear shifted its position, he took of another burst, all three rounds hitting it in the head. He moved forward quickly, dropping the assault to his side, and motioning for Rey keep watch. "You need to get him inside that cabin!" Richard moved for the door, opening it up, or what was left of it. Holding it open, he motioned for Rey to take Julie inside after them.
After everyone was in, he stood in the doorway, with his sidearm now drawn outside. He moved out by the SUV, and holstered the rifle onto his back, scouting the area around them. Leaning over the bear, he finally was able to see it face down, motionless, dead. "Finally put you out of your misary..." But, they couldnt let their guard down. Their could be more infected creatures close by who heard the battle.

Julie cried loudly, reaching for her father. "Daddy! Daddy get up! Daddy!!"
Emily kneeled over Rick's near lifeless body, her eyes watering. "Rick..." she sobbed, touching the side of his blood stained face. His breathing was rather short at this point. No doubt about it, he was dying.
Rick looked up at his friend, a short forced smile playing on his lips. "Stop...crying...It's...out of...character for you..."
Emily shook her head, pulling the man's upper body up a little onto her lap. She had known this man for years. He was her best friend...not to mention deep inside she had always wanted more. "You're gonna...gonna be okay, Rick...You'll get through this...You have to...Julie needs you!"
Rick frowned and coughed up some blood, his eyes half closed. "Ju...lie..." He muttered, drawing in his last few precious breaths. "Emily...please..." he trailed off before he completely stopped moving. Emily held onto the man tighter. "Rick...? Rick please...?!"
She pulled his body closer to her,hugging onto him, uncaring of the blood that now stained her tanktop. "Rick...I promise...I promise I'll take care of Julie and I'll...Rick.."
After awhile, she finally let him go, standing to her feet. Wiping away her tears, she grabbed his shotgun and the ammo for it, holstering it over her shoulder. "Rick, I can't let you come back like this..." she said softly before raising up her .45.
Bang!

"Nooo!" Rey screamed, but her vocals were outmatched by the sound of the gunshot. She knew it was too late, and this was for the better, but no matter how often shed seen it done, it never gave her a good feeling. Rey turned away from everyone, and then walked toward the wall, pacing off her emotions.
Richard heard the gunshot, and knew what happened. The war was just a reason to keep people from killing other people by killing more people. The outbreak didnt change anything, people still killed people, and it was just as out of control as the west. Richard stayed outside, keeping an eye out on the surroundings. At least, that was the excuse he gave himself for giving the young people inside time to mourn.

Julie continued crying aloud, her tears downing her chubby cheeks. "Daddy! Daddy why'd you die!?"
Emily stood over the body, dropping to her knees and burrying her head into her hands. "Damn you...." she moaned out. She gritted her teeth together and looked up at the sky. "DAMN YOU! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" she screamed out, pointing up at the seemingly blood red sky. Pulling herself back together, she managed to stand back up and shuffled into the cabin, her hands and shoulders trembling.
The woman looked over at Richard, handing him back the rifle, slowly. "It...it needs to be reloaded."
With that, the little girl got up and ran over to Emily, angered and beating her fists on the woman's legs. "You killed my daddy! You killed him! I hate you! I hate you so much!"
Emily tried her hardest not to break emotionally. She felt remorse for what she had to do, but she just couldn't let him come back as one of those monsters! She wrapped her arms around the little girl and held the seven year old tightly. "I'm sorry..."
The little girl tried squirming away before collapsing with the woman, hugging back and crying. "He'll never come back now..." she informed her.

Richard walked inside after listening to Emily and Julie speak. After grabbing the rifle, he loaded the magazine up full again, and popped it back into the gun. Looking at Rey, he didnt know exactly how to handle the situation. Richard knew what to do, what was best for himself and for everyone. He kept quiet, let Emily and Julie handle their side of the issue, and walked towards Rey. He knew what it was like being around this kind of an enviornment, its not very pleasant.
Rey saw the old man come toward her, and she didnt know how to talk to him. It was always harder between two far different generations, but the moment didnt seem like there shouldve been any conversation. Just silence. Richard stepped beside Rey, and place his hand on her shoulder. But by this time, she had burried herself into his arm, and he could feel the warm tears soaking his sleeve.

Emily sniffed a little, stroking the back of the child's hair, sotthingly. She pulled away a little, looking at the little girl's face. Forcing a smile she wiped her tears. "Your daddy...he's with your mommy now. I promise you, they're gonna be alright from now on...They're gonna watching over you, okay? Until then I'll be your guardian. I promise, sweety.."
Julie's frown turned into a small smile as well, rubbing at her eyes with the back of her sleeves. Emily stood up, grasping her tiny hand and turning over to Richard and Rey, her face still red from crying.
"We need to press on. We'll go see Joey, but then I have to leave. I need to take care of Julie properly. It's up to you whether or not you two want to come with us. It'd be safer with my Uncle Jack now that I know Anna and Richard Holden are gonna be there as well."

Rey looked at as Emily spoke, and then broke away from Richard, wiping the tears from her eyes. She nodded, and then walked for the exit. Richard looked at Emily, she looked like hell. Turning away to the shelves, she picked up the rest of his magazines he had left earlier, strapping them onto his belt. Arcians .45 rounds here here, too. It was the last of them, but he was sure that putting them to good use would be better then having them stocked up here. "Take it all before you go..." He was battling for something to say, but thats all that could escape. Being a soldier, he always felt comfourtable about this sort of thing. Before heading out with Rey, he turned to Emily once again. "Im... Sorry for you loss..."
Richard moved outside, there wasnt anything else to be said. Rey was waiting outside, she looked pretty shaken, but would more then likely recover soon. It didnt feel right knowing that someone her age could be hardened by death, but in a situation like this, it was useful.

Emily watched as Richard and Rey exited the cabin. She looked down at Julie who only looked up at her. Smiling slightly she walked over to the supplies and start stocking up on shotgun and handgun ammo. To her suprise, she had found a med kit. Exchanging the emptyt one she had for the newer one, she walked towards the door way.
She reached over, turning the child's eyes away from her father's mangled corpse as they walked on. Reaching Richard and Rey she sighed.
"Let's go. There's nothing left for us here anymore."
