Chapter 1: Catching Up
It has been almost 6 years since Alessa has passed. I have learned to master my abilities, as well as create a limit to the demon's influence on the realm of Silent Hill. The demon and I have bumped heads countless times over the years, and as Alessa presumed, the demon never followed through with her promise to Pyramid about the removal of his helmet. Recently the demon has taken a liking to calling itself Alessa and acting as if it has taken over the role of Alessa entirely.
Instead, the demon has been using Pyramid as its own slave, and center of tortured entertainment as it knows he has no choice but to obey as it is part of Alessa. I rarely ever see Pyramid anymore, and whenever I see him he is practically physically exhausted to the point I worry about whether he is immortal or not and how much of this he can take.
He has become so much slower as he struggles to walk for long periods of time. Part of me believes that the demon actually increased the weight of his helmet, just to enjoy his torment. Whenever Pyramid returns to me, he is always covered in different wounds all over his body and exhausted to the point he can barely walk straight. He has fallen numerous times because of his weakness and exhaustion.
Valtiel also seems to be paying for his crimes against the demon, because of the fact he created an item that was able to send Sharon back to the normal world, to her father. The item has two halves, each half can be used to send someone to the real world, taking the half of the item with them.
The other half is with the Order, or as they call themselves now, The Order of Valtiel. It seems as though Alessa did not kill off all of the Order, as there was a separate colony of them that still continues to grow as more people enter Silent Hill for whatever reason Valtiel or the demon allow them to. Unlike Alessa, I still can not control who can come and go through Silent Hill.
I haven't seen Kat for a few years, last time I heard, Valtiel was still protecting her and that she actually ended up falling for him, as he did the same for her. She continued to live in the apartment I used to live in, but a year and a half ago, the apartment got completely ransacked and all the food either got taken or rotted. The entire room I used to stay in got destroyed as if someone, or some people were looking for something. What really stumps me and makes me uncomfortable is how my apartment was the only one to have gotten completely fucked up while all the others were untouched. After that happened, I haven't heard from Kat since. But Valtiel says she is somewhere safe, so I haven't worried much.
But at the same time my apartment was the only one that had food, Pyramid believes that someone was actually looking for me and had very bad intentions. From that day forward, he has been extremely protective of me to the point he doesn't want me leaving his lair very often so no one knows where I have been staying. I may not age, but I am still mortal and can be killed while he can't. He also takes a new route back to the sanitorium so no one can follow him in case someone knows I am with him.
A few days ago he sensed that someone was following him and was able to make the person get lost while he was able to come up behind them and kill them. He believes the person was from the Order as they had a few symbols on them that the Order are famous for.
For the past few years, I have been having baby fever. I have miscarried three times so far, the first time was six years ago, a few months after the first time we had completely had sex the first time. I was shocked, I found out because my period didn't come and so I just figured. The second time was a year after that, and the most recent was about two years ago. Since the apartment got destroyed, Pyramid won't allow me to try for another baby for my own protection since he concluded that someone was searching for me, and the idea of having a baby crying down here is dangerous. Now that he knows the Order has been trying to follow him, the idea of a baby is absolutely not going to happen. The last time we had sex was about three months ago, and I'm so scared because I haven't had my period since.
I haven't told him because I don't want to stress him out more than he already is, and I'm sure the baby wont survive…so during the miscarriage I will have, I will just inform him then.
Although I don't see Kat anymore, Valtiel still tends to come around from time to time. He has told me that Kat is still scared of me and still wants to go home, to the point she is willing to do anything she can to go home and take Valtiel with her somehow.
Currently, all of Alessa's other protectors, or creatures with pyramid-like helmets on their heads, are all in Silent Hill, including the one from Shepherd's Glen nicknamed the Boogeyman. I still have not met the one called White Hunter or the Boogeyman. They all have been given the same treatment Pyramid has, to the point that Red barely has a sense of humor anymore. Red recently has not been allowed to visit me due to Pyramid's strong protection on me, because of the fact he doesn't want anyone or anything discovering his lair and discovering me.
Pyramid has adapted to his new emotions, which took him some time to understand how the emotions work and how to recognize them. Fukuro hasn't been giving me any trouble lately at all, since Alessa had the demon lock her up somewhere in the town before she passed since she became such a danger to me.
Currently I am walking through the basement of the Cedar grove Sanitarium, which is where Pyramid's lair is located. His lair is a hidden room within the basement that humans cannot get into. Pyramid left me in his room, or lair as he likes to call it, but since I am able to move things with telepathy, I am able to move the heavy door and close it with ease. Pyramid has also taught me how to communicate using telepathy as well, which is extremely convenient for both of us.
I am aware that Pyramid wouldn't be happy if he knew I ventured out of his lair and was walking around, but my recent hobby that has been keeping me busy, which is drawing, has begun to bore me. I have practically mastered drawing him from memory, drawing every item in the room and myself. Also, I still reside in the otherworld, but have learned that I can travel through the different realms using mirrors, strangely. I haven't dared myself yet to go into the fog world through mirrors, since the fog world is where the Order primarily venture through and tend to seek shelter during the time when they are integrated into the otherworld and rarely ever wander the streets in the otherworld because of the dangers.
So sticking to the otherworld is the safest place for me to be if the Order have somehow discovered my existence, unless for some reason they decide to go on a suicide run looking for me. I continue walking down the long corridors and eventually make my way to the stairs of the basement and ascend them, making my way up to the first floor on the female side of the ward and make my way to the dining hall. Thankfully, the demon somehow finds it in its nonexistent heart to provide me with food there regularly, which is stored in a working fridge that has been cleaned. So far, no one has discovered the fridge or the fact it has food in it.
I approach the fridge and open it, grabbing out a few food items, such as 3 apples, 4 hardboiled eggs and two cans of vegetable soup. Usually I have Pyramid grab these for me and stack up on them so I wont go hungry for a little while, but I haven't ate anything today and I haven't seen him since yesterday. Plus since I'm up here I might as well get it, since I'm starving. I pick up the bottom of my recently acquired t-shirt and make a pouch and place the apples, eggs and cans in the pouch of my shirt and close the fridge and leave the dining hall, holding onto the bottom of my shirt so the food stays in the pouch instead of having to carry all that in my arms.
I stop as I start walking down a hallway to make my way back down to the basement and stop as a figure comes into view down a hallway, I tilt my head a little while looking at it, unable to see any details on the figure standing down the hallway. The figure seems like It's Pyramid, from what I can see. It has a pointed top to its helmet like he does and seems about as tall as he is.
"Pyramid?" I say down the hall, but he doesn't respond. Instead the figure begins to walk down the hallway towards me, the sound of a Great Knife dragging against the ground echoing through the hallway, but the sound doesn't sound like It's Pyramid's Great Knife though.
I back up a little as it continues walking closer, making me more nervous, "Pyramid…? Hello? Who are you…?" I ask, the figure doesn't answer as it continues walking closer, looking more and more like Pyramid. The figure walks in front of a window as faint light bleeds through it, showing me a few features of the creature, causing my eyes to widen.
The creature has a helmet on its head, which almost looks identical to Pyramid's, except it Is a redish color instead of a greyish color. Up its arms seem to be blood stained to its skin which stops right below its shoulders, and it seems to be wearing some kind of fabric, or skin from its waist down to its feet that also seems to be covered in blood.
Fear rises inside me as it comes closer, still quite a way away from me though. I drop the bottom of my shirt and all my food that was in my pouch drop all over the ground, the cans making the loudest sounds as I'm positive the entire building heard them fall. The eggs basically hit the ground and break in half as pieces of hardboil cover the floor around the broken eggs. This causes the creature to stop as it seems to be observing me, I speak up.
"W-what are you? Talk to me! I know you can speak!" I say, fear in my voice. I then look down at my food I was going to eat then back up at the creature down the hall.
The creature remains silent.
I raise my hand and point my hand at the creature, "If you don't tell me, I will kill you with your own weapon! I swear!"
The creature ignores my words and begins approaching me again, this time a little faster.
"Stop! I will do it!"
The creature continues to walk, getting closer to where I can see all of its features, it is just a tiny bit shorter than Pyramid, but definitely is not him.
I scream as I use my telekinesis to yank the creature's Great Knife out of its hand, which seems to surprise it as I then lift the weapon in the air, pointed at the creature. The creature raises its arms up a little in front of it as if saying It's sorry, I then push my arm and make the creature's weapon plunge itself deep into its abdomen to where it comes out the other side. The creature lets out a loud howl of pain as it falls onto its knees, holding its weapon that is sticking out of its body in front of it, I then run as fast as I can back down to the basement.
