The Mold in Winter (Resident Evil x Male Reader)

Chapter 28: Memory Restored, an Empty Promise Revealed

Y/N POV

"Y/N?!" "Mia?!"

The two of us quickly embraced one another in a tight hug. We eventually pulled away from one another as Mia sighed in relief and said "You have no idea how glad I am to see you. I didn't know what happened to you after the boat capsized, I woke up and you were gone." I replied "Same to you. Where's Ethan?"

Mia's expression then turned from relief to fear as she answered "I don't know. I found him shortly after waking up but some of that black Mold carried him away. I thought he came in here but so far I've not found him."

Her fear remained as she said "There was a little girl, something familiar about her. She claimed I'd told her we'd be a family." My eyes widened as she explained this, I thought about the little girl I'd seen, the one I'd believed to be Eveline. If she had appeared to Mia as well, that would indicate she'd somehow managed to be in two different places at once!

I commented "That's concerning." Mia asked "How come?" I went on to explain "I saw a girl as well, in fact, I followed her here. She also mentioned you'd promised her something, when I asked her to explain she freaked out and ran off."

Mia's eyes widened as she muttered "Oh god... What's happening." I shook my head saying "I don't know. But I suppose the only way to find out would be to find this girl. She obviously knows something we don't. Perhaps it could explain why neither of us can remember what happened three years ago." To that Mia said "Okay, Lets go..

With that, we both continued on our way through the tanker. One thing I found interesting was that grass had begun growing out of some of the Mold on the ground. Even with my time at the Baker house I had no idea that Mold could grow in a place like this.

We continued walking past some shattered windows, outside it was still dark. We'd escaped the Baker house in the night so it still hadn't turned morning as of yet. As we made our way towards a door at the end of the corridor, we found our path cut off by another Molded which emerged from the grass beneath it.

I gestured to Mia and warned "Behind me! I'll deal with this." I raised my MPM Handgun and opened fire on the creature. Unfortunately, the two rounds I had left weren't enough to put the Molded down, it kept walking towards us and my handgun just clicked when I tried firing.

I stated "Damn! Out of ammo." I was about to use the last round in my 44 when Mia said "Wait, I found a box of handgun rounds before. Take them." I nodded saying a quick "Thank you." Before taking the box of bullets and reloading my weapon as quick as I could. 

The Molded was still approaching so as soon as I'd loaded in six new bullets, I resumed fire. Aiming directly for the Molded's head. Having already hit it twice already, two more shots were all I needed to take the creature out for good.

Our attention returned to the door at the end of the corridor, with that Molded out of the way we were free to head on through it, it was hear we were met with a stairwell heading upwards to the second floor. We ascended the first flight and arrived at a door, unfortunately it was locked so our only choice was to ascend the stairs yet again.

We were on the third floor now. And there was another door here as well. This one luckily for us, was unlocked so me being the one with the gun, I pushed it open and went in first. Walking onto this level, we went through a small corridor before arriving in a large square room. 

At the far end of the room was a television, switched on but playing static, in front of the TV was a chair. At first it seemed the chair was empty however as me and Mia entered the room, the chair slowly spun around to reveal the eerie girl who'd been appearing across the ship for both of us.
