Silent Hill
Judgement of the Guilty
Written by Shaylen
Late in the day it was, on a clear, normal, summer's day. When Michael, and his wife Shaylen, were heading to that small little resort town of Silent Hill, with the promise of being able to relax and get away together for a few days.
"Mikie?" Shaylen blinked, her eyes were on the road but it appears Mikie's weren't as he kept slowly sliding off to the side, "Mikie are You falling asleep at the wheel?" Shay asked, when suddenly their car went swirving off to the side, She quickly grabbed the wheel and turned it back into position "Mikie! Wake up!," "Huh. Wha?! er! shit!!" Mikie woke up and regained focus "Sorry about that." he sighed nervously feeling kind of shaken for almost falling asleep at the wheel, Shay shook her head "Jeez.. Maybe I should get out and drive.. but the map says we're almost to that resort town, Forgot the name of it," but Mikie shook his head back "Nah, I'm awake now, but Supposedly this town is really nice" he said, "Oh yes, the Resort town of Silent Hill.. Sounds like a nice place," Shay spoke once she remembered the name of the town they were heading to, "It'll be good to get some relaxation.." Mikie started then a sly grin played out upon his face as he continued "Heard some of the locals are a lil weird but where is it not like that? haha.." He finished laughingly, Shaylen giggled a little then curled up in her seat as she yawned and closed her eyes "I'm gonna take a small nap, wake Me when we get there", Mikie nodded "Oka-Whoa, Damn they must be in a hurry" He exclaimed as a car sped by him in the other lane, going the opposite way he was going, then Mikie glanced over to Shay as she started to snore, to see her already asleep, at this he smiled a little, then as his eyes went back to the road he gasped and screamed "THE HELL!?" as a pair of headlights in the foggy distance drew closer, he didn't want to hit the oncoming car head on, so he swerved, but he lost control of the car and it went crashing down side of the road, the last thing heard was Michael's scream, Shay woke up about a second before impact, then everything went dark for the both of them.
Around 12 hours passed til Michael finally regained consciousness, He sat up and looked around to find that it was day time, but it was rather dark and foggy, he shrugged at this then went into a panic as Shay was nowhere to be found, the passenger side door was open and nothing was there, ".Shay?" he called out, But he got no answer.
As for Shaylen, she found herself waking up on her back in what appeared to be an empty park, "What the.. How'd I get here?" she asked aloud even though no one was around, then she sat up and looked around, "Hello?" she called out, but soon she realized "No one's here." she scratched the back of her head, then the sudden sound of a squeaky swing swinging from the playground caught her attention, for a split second she thought someone was there and turned around, but there was nothing. "Weird."
Returning back to Michael for a second, he was barely getting himself together and staggering out of the car, feeling a bit sore from the wreck, he looked around a bit calling out "Shay?, Shay!" he yelled out as he noticed a silhouette, thinking it might be Shay, he ran after it, passing all kinds of small businesses, Meanwhile Shay was still in the park, now hugging herself cause it was cold out, "Mikie?... Miiiiiiikie!!!... Ugh... Man.. Maybe.. he.. went to.." she went off and shrugged, walking around a bit, then running til she heard an echoing voice, it sounded like Mikie calling out her name, "Mikie?" she called, "Shay?, I hear You! Where are You?!" Mikie's voice called back, Shaylen didn't hear Mikie the second time as her attention was shifted to the strange sound of clanging and dragged metal on the ground coming from some where in the distance, she turned around "Huh?, Someone there?" she tried to see through the fog but it was rolling up thick, again she heard the dragging metal sound coming closer "Mikie, If You're trying to scare Me, it's not working!. Kinda.," she slightly yelled, Little did she know the villainous executioner known as the Red Pyramid was slowly stalking up on the unsuspecting girl, At this moment Shay became really scared "....Who's there?!... I can hear You!..... I..." Shay started then drifted off as her eye sight came upon the playground, some steps leading up to a small box and a slide, She ran over to the playground and up the steps, sitting down in the box and peeking her head out a bit to see if anyone was there, when by her hand she felt something cold, looking down she found it was a pipe, and she grabbed hold of it, still peeking out quietly to see if anyone was there, when suddenly the blade of an extremely sharp cleaver came cutting through the plastic wall next to Shay, she screamed and quickly scooted back then stumbled up onto her feet and ran up the steps, she didn't want to look back but she heard a demon-ish sounding "Raargh", The Red Pyramid was busy for the moment trying to pull the cleaver out of the wall, as Shay jumped down the slide at the top, and came to a rolling stop at the bottom, then again she fumbled to her feet and ran like mad "What the hell, was that thing?!" She spoke aloud, breathing heavily from the running and from fright.
At this moment Michael had found his way to the playground, from the spot he was standing, he could make-out the Red Pyramid, he shuddered as a chill rolled down his spine, but then he took notice to a piece of wood with nails at the end of it, laying by his foot so he grabbed it, then he took note that the Red Pyramid got his cleaver stuck in the wall, but when he heard Shay's scream, "Shay?!, I'm over here!, Get over here!" he yelled out into the fog, "Mikie!?" Shay yelled back, looking around for Mikie, but again she could hardly see anything through the fog, then she spotted a figure.. and she ran up to it thinking it was Mikie, but she screamed again as the figure she ran to appeared to be a demon being, wearing a straight- jacket made of flesh and blood was dripping over his un-detailed skin, the monster had no face, no hair, nothing, but flesh and a rotting smell. The monster took a step closer to her, and she stepped back shakily, then it started to charge at her, causing her to scream and out of reaction, she swung the steel pipe in her hand, as she did this her eyes were closed from fear but the pipe slammed into the side of the monsters head, slowing it down as she re-opened her eyes, the monster was bleeding but it was still coming for her, she took another step back then slammed the steel pipe into the monster's side, a few more hits made it slow down, then with a couple more fierce well-placed hits, the monster shrieked and fell over. Shaylen could feel her heart beat as she stared at the monster, not knowing what to think at this moment, But by then, the Red Pyramid had his cleaver free, and turned around to face Mikie, and slowly started stalking towards him, "The hell?!" Mikie yelled as he looked at the Red Pyramid coming closer and closer towards him, slowly but surely, then Mikie stepped back and yelled "Shay get over here now!", "Mikie, I can hear You, I can't find You!... what are these things?!.. They're disgusting!" Shaylen yelled back, continuing to run in the fog, just getting more lost, but Mikie noticed Shay, she was about 15 feet behind the Red Pyramid, He swallowed his fear for the moment, and dashed passed the Red Pyramid, it struck at Mikie with it's cleaver, but it barely missed him as Mikie ran up and took Shay by the hand, they both ran and got 20-25 feet away from the playground.
"Where the hell are we?!" Mikie yelled while stopping to catch his breath, "This can't be silent hill, it's vacant.. this town looks abandoned!" Shay exclaimed, when the sound of something falling and hitting the ground caught Mikie's attention, he looked down and saw a gun by his foot, he bent down to pick it up while complaining "...Dammit.. what are those things?! that pyramid thing almost got me with that huge ass knife!", once he picked up the gun he was surprised to find it was fully loaded, but once he stood back up, Shay was nowhere to be seen, "..Shay?.. SHAY?!" he called out, only to get no reply, He ran around a bit, holding the gun up for any monsters who wanted a piece, "Shay?! shay where did you go!?" but still Shaylen was nowhere to be seen, when suddenly a news paper rolled up against Mikie's foot from the wind blowing it, He noticed it and picked it up, the headline is about the New Hotel, "Hmm.. New hotel.. something tells Me this isn't just a coincidence... I better go check it out.. What the hell happened with this town!?".
Meanwhile, Shaylen finds herself in the hotel, in a dark room, the only light coming in was through two windows, but it was still foggy out, then out of nowhere a female voice spoke.
~"How could You let him do it?"~
"What?"
~"How could You let him do it?"~
"What're You talking about?"
~"Don't You know?, or have You forgotten as well?"~
"Who the hell are You?"
~"Fine.. Be that way... You'll find out soon enough"~
After that, the woman exited the room without giving Shay a chance to say anything after that.
Back with Michael, he pulled a map of Silent Hill out of his back pocket, luckily he wasn't too far from the hotel, and he started to head in the direction of the hotel, He tried to think, but he couldn't.. he was too shaken up inside, "Dammit... Seems like no one wants Me to rest a while..".
"This is the hotel? I wonder if Mikie's here..." Shaylen spoke aloud, then she got up and walked out of the room using the same door that strange woman did, she then found herself in a hall, with two ways to go, to the right, and left, when she looked to her left she saw a bunch of doors, when she looked to her right, she saw a hideous monster, a pair of legs from the waist down, and the waist up, this caused her to scream and run to the left, entering a random door.
Michael stepped up and looked at the "HOTEL" sign, "This must be it" he sighed, holding his handgun up and ready, bursting into the hotel and entering the lobby, glancing around warily, "Shay...? Shay You here?", there was no reply to his words, but suddenly his ears picked up the faint sounds of "Ugh!" and moan-ish screams of "Aaah!", sounding like they were coming from upstairs.. and as he stepped over to the steps, looking up he saw a door which was partially open, "The hell?" he slightly yelled and dashed up the steps, slowly entering the room... The room was barely lit by an overhead light dangling from a wire, the walls appeared to be blood soaked and rusted, the floor looked filthy and in the corner of the room was a bed, on that bed appeared to be the Red Pyramid, on top of Shay... raping her, Mikie gasped "BASTARD!" and out of instant reaction, he raised his gun and fired... After the first gunshot, the overhead light shattered and the vision of the Red Pyramid & Shaylen on the bed disappeared, The room was empty... when suddenly a laugh from a female came from behind Mikie
~"You're funny, You don't remember Your crime... but You haven't forgotten it"~
"What crime?!"
~"Such bloodshed and You don't remember? I'm sure You at least remember the blood chilling screams of those You killed"~
"..I didn't kill anyone!?"
~"You too have chosen to forget?... locking the door only builds up problems... You'll find the key sooner or later... as for Your wife... She's here in the hotel, let's just see if You can find her... in one piece..."~
The woman left after speaking those words, "Tell me where she is now!- Dammit... Shay.. where are You?" Mikie went on "And damn.. My gun's empty". Meanwhile Shaylen had locked herself up in a closet, a dark closet, and she was crying silently, being afraid of the dark, afraid of this place, and afraid of those weird monsters and the Red Pyramid, when suddenly the closet door open, Shay screamed a little in fear that a monster was on the other end, but when she looked up, all that stood there was a little blonde- haired girl.
"Who're You?"
-"Why're You crying?"-
"I'm alone, I've lost My husband... and those... weird monsters...."
-"There's no need to cry... And what monsters?"-
"The one out in the hallway"
-"There are no monsters here...."-
In the meantime... Michael came up to a door, getting desperate at this time, he decided to try and investigate every room looking for Shay, and he tried to open the door, but for some reason it didn't wanna open, and a noise could be heard from inside.
Back to Shay and the little girl...
"Have You seen a man around here?, looks to be around 6 ft tall, short hair?"
-"No I have not... but, I gotta go now, Mommy's calling"-
"Hey wait!" Shaylen called but the girl fan off, dropping something, a knife, "A knife?" Shay picked it up.
"Stupid, door, open!" Mikie yelled, then finally decided to kick the door open, as he did, it slammed open and the scream of a cat was heard, then out bolted a black cat with white patches of fur, "Just a cat.. Poor thing, must be scared as hell... Well, he ain't the only one" Mikie spoke aloud then entered the room.
The room looked, to be a normal motel room, kind of shabby though, but it had a bed, a table with a broken TV set on it, and two windows which the foggish light shined through, and on the table there appeared to be a piece of paper, which Mikie walked to and picked up, "What's this?" he asked then began to read it.
On the paper was a list of names:
Cheryl
Harry
James
Mary
Angela
Eddie.
All of the above names were crossed off in red pen, and the two remaining names made Michael's heart skip a beat:
Mikie
Shay.
"What in the hell?" Mikie thought as he pocketed the piece of paper, then glanced around for anything that appeared to be of use, when on the edge of the table was a health drink (Author's note: LoL, this part was meant to be comical), Michael sighed "Dammit.. it's so easy in the movies and video games to find this bad ass stuff just laying around.. Guess I gotta get back to reality.." then he nabbed the Health drink and walked out of the room, heading down the hall. While looking to his right, Mikie saw another door and tried to open it, but frustration overcame him "Dammit Shay!, Where the hell are You?!" he yelled, his temper slightly flaring up as he suddenly got a quick flashback, of a bloody body falling to the ground, coughing up blood, but ultimately choking to death, this flashback shook Michael up inside, but what snapped him out of it was the faint sound of Shaylen's voice coming from inside the door "Miiikie...", "Shay?!" Mikie called back, forgetting anything else at the moment and kicking on the door as hard as he could, The door slowly opened despite his brute force in kicking it, as the door open he entered the room, and it appeared to be another hotel room, but it was rather luxurious as it had a nice clean bed, a built in tub, beautiful window curtains, and there she was, laying on the bed naked with only a sheet covering her, with her breasts in full view, "Miiikie..." She called out, but something about her voice was eerie, "..Shay?" Mikie looked, almost not believing what Shay was doing, laying naked on a bed with all these monsters running about, "Get Your clothes on!, We gotta get out of here!" Mikie yelled, "It's alright... Now..... Come here Mikie" Shaylen calmly spoke, patting the spot on the bed next to her "Sit", Michael sighed "We don't have time for this.. As much as I'd love to.. There's monsters everywhere!", Shaylen heard this and replied with a slight sense of anger visible in her tone of voice "It's alright!, Now come... Sit", again Michael sighed with his arms slightly folded over his chest "Fine..." he slowly walked over to the bed and sat down, placing his nailed piece of wood next to him on the floor, Shaylen smiled, and wrapped an arm around Michael, pulling him closer to her naked body while planting a soft kiss on his lips, Michael was surprised and a bit nervous at her actions, but he found himself giving in slightly, Shaylen gently began to rub the back of his head, and she rolled over onto her back, taking him with her, thus making him on top of her as she continued to kiss him softly, He started to breath a bit heavier as he kissed her back... but thoughts of that whole Red Pyramid fiasco filled his head, causing him to quickly jerk his head away, breathing hard as he found himself nervous as hell "You're... not... real" he slowly spoke, To this Shaylen replied "Mikie... I'm real, Don't You remember?... we came here to get away together, Don't You want to spend some quality time together?...", Michael yelled back slightly "But how can you act like this after all that has happened?!", Shaylen gently rubbed on the back of his head again with a strangely calm smile lain out upon her strangely pale face "Calm down...Nothing's happened, You were sleeping.. and had a nightmare...", Michael shook his head "But... I'm still sore from the wreck, and My legs ache from running so much...", Shaylen smiled again strangely "It's all in your mind... just.. relax", she wrapped her arms around him tightly, letting her body's warmth flow onto his, then she started to kiss him again, But he pulled back and stood up "No.. I don't know what the hell is going on but I'm not falling for this again!", At this Shaylen began to sniffle and almost cry "You don't love me...", Michael sighed "Of course I love you! This is... just all... too weird for me..", he lowered his head and sighed once again "It must've been one helluva nightmare... I'm sorry..", he apologized and slowly slinked back under the covers, and held Shaylen firmly in a loving way, "It's alright" she smiled, slowly climbing on top of him, then she leaned her head down to kiss him in a very deep passionate way, Michael found himself kissing back just as passionate as his hands rubbed over her back, finally he felt relaxed, as Shaylen softly moaned and 'positioned' herself on top of him in a pleasurable manner, moving her hips up and down, he felt a sudden rush of pleasure and a nice tingling sensation come over his body, At this he moaned and began to rub on her back slightly harder, he was still feeling... funny, but relaxed, and over the next few minutes he found himself and 'Shaylen' making hot passionate love (Author: WOO! . ), He found the pleasure to be kind of intense as he closed his eyes for a moment, but something wasn't right when he re-opened them, he opened his eyes and looked up at 'her', Shaylen was smiling, happy and beautiful as ever, when suddenly blood just started oozing out from her mouth, eyes, nose, dripping down her face and body, the blood soaking the once white bed sheets, and the blood dripping down onto his body, Mikie yelled "What the hell Shay?!", At this Shay sat up and slapped him on the face, yelling in an anger-ish tone that seemed abnormal "What're you yelling about?, I thought You liked the sight of blood!", "What're You talking about?!" Michael yelled back, when suddenly he had a vivid flashback of looking around and seeing bloody, torn up dead bodies, this caused him to jump from the bed and pick up his wooden stick with nails at the end, "What the hell is going on?!" he nearly screamed, But as he got up, everything was back to normal... the room he was in is now nothing more than a plain ol hotel room, a messy bed, a desk, a bookshelf, and a rusted out bathtub, "What the.... I don't get it!... Shay...", he sighed breathing heavily, "I can't let this get to Me... I must find Shay!", he re-ensured himself, and took notice of the desk, he walked to it and inspected it, inside was a black unmarked video, "This might be useful later, Might as well take it" he thought, and shoved it into a back pocket, then he searched the rest of the room, but it was pretty much empty, cept for a small card on the table reading "Maria's Nightclub and Bar, Located in the lower west side of the hotel, by lobby", Michael stashed the card in his pocket and walked out of the room feeling more shook up inside than ever.
To the right of where Mikie was facing, was an elevator which he took notice to, but he thought about it "Hmm.. I dunno... No telling what's up with that elevator, but... I guess I'll try anyway, I have to find her...", he pressed the button and waited for the elevator to arrive on his floor, suddenly 'Ding' the elevator door opened, but as he looked inside it... his vision flashed from normal, to a blood soaked red, then back to normal, "AH...Ah....", he shook his head, and stepped inside the elevator, "I've gotta get over My fear..", the floor panel inside the elevator stated that the hotel has 13 floors, but he pressed the button for the first floor, and began to wait patiently... Finally he arrived on the 1st floor, and when he stepped out, there was some bullets on the floor, he bent over and picked them up, reloading his gun and stashing some in his pocket, being surprised at how many bullets were there (Author: If this were a game, We'd be playing it on easy mode right now?), "Now I feel a bit safer in this hellish place" he sighed, and began walking down the faintly lit hall, "I guess I should check out that Nightclub place" he thought, and he continued walking on, but this time with a bit more confidence in his step as he held his gun at his side, then he came upon a table in the middle of the hallway, there was something shiny on it, He walked to the table and began to inspect it when the table suddenly jumped up causing him to jump back from shock "Ahh!", he held his gun up ready to fire, but the table's legs started to move and it started to run towards him, still with something shiny on the table's back, as the table came running at him though, Mikie closed his eyes after taking aim, and repeatedly shot at the table 5 times, till it fell over and stopped moving, finally he could see what was on the table, a set of keys, he swiped 'em and looked at them, the tags on the 3 keys read "Bar key", "Basement key", and the 3rd was unmarked, "Bar key, must be used to get into that Nightclub" he thought, and continued his way down the hall when suddenly it ended with a door way to the left, that door way broke off into a hall, with two ways to go, to the right, or to the left, on the wall was an arrow pointing to the right which read "Lobby" and the arrow pointing to the left read "Maria's Nightclub and Bar" so, he figured he'd take a left, and as he did, he came up to the bar entrance which was covered by steel bars with a padlock on front, he used the key and it worked.
Upon entering the bar, There was a dim neon banner that read "Open" then it shorted out, but there was still overhead light given from dangling light fixtures, On the counter of the bar was spilled beer, broken glass, and a TV with a VCR behind the counter, Mikie took note of this and pulled the video tape out from his pocket, turning on the TV and the VCR, then popping the tape into the VCR and pressing play "Hope this works..." he thought aloud while watching the static on screen, And the tape began to play, the screen was black but there were voices, they voices were of Michael and Shaylen:
"Is it recording?"
"You forgot to take the lens-cap off!"
"Oh!"
The lens-cap was then removed and the video showed a beautiful wedding chapel,
"You got it working?"
"Yes"
"Ok, tomorrow's the big day, we'll leave the camera here, Now let's go home",
Then from there the video went blank, then it went into static, then it showed the wedding chapel again, but this time it was full of people, friends, and family, Michael laughed at the first part of the tape, how he forgot to take the lens-cap off "Heh, I remember that... man I felt so stupid" then he went quiet as the 2nd part was beginning to play: Shaylen was seen on the video, wearing a wedding dress, white and beautiful, and upon her reaching the alter, the priest went on with his duties, shortly after everything was done and the "I do"'s were spoken and their first kiss as a married couple kissed, Shaylen's ex boyfriend Alex walked up on the side of her, At the time Michael was disgusted for even letting Shay invite him to the wedding, and a great anger was building up inside him. While watching the video, Mikie was smiling up until he saw the dirtbag Alex come on screen "I almost forgot about him being there.." he thought, when suddenly he had another vivid flashback of murder. Back to the video, it had broke off into static, and the static continued, but something wanted to show up on screen, it didn't though, just screams were heard, "YOU ASSHOLE!" was heard, it sounded like Mikie yelling it, the static on screen then faded into a blood-shade of red as suddenly the picture came in, the camera's view was from the floor, it was tilted on it's side, And all that was visible were two sets of feet, it was apparent that a struggle was going on. "What..?" Mikie spoke aloud while continuing to watch the video. The video on screen kept running... Eventhough the tape has run out, suddenly another voice was heard yelling "DIE" it again sounded to be Michael's voice, suddenly a spatter of blood spat on the floor and splashed onto the camera's lens, covering half the screen in blood, shortly after another blood spatter covered the other half of the camera's lens, covering the whole screen in blood as another scream was heard, this scream was blood chilling, then there was a dead bodied thud as something blurry fell to the floor.
"No..." Mikie started, then slipped into a flash back "No! this is just..." he started to hear some sort of weird high pitched sound "...Some sort of.. mind trick", the video from the VCR suddenly ejected, but on the TV screen was more static as the faint sound of Shay's voice came in "Mikie!, Mikie where are You?!, Help me!, They're gonna kill me.. They're insane.....", the voice drifted off "SHAY!" Michael screamed, he felt a rush of anger inside him explode as he pulled out the wooden stick with nails, and began to hit everything in sight "Damn bastards!" he yelled out, when suddenly the TV shut off, but he could hear the faint sound of screaming, and from the right of where Michael was standing, there was a door marked "Basement". He perked a brow at the screaming, and walked over to the door once he stopped hitting everything, He tried using the basement key, and it worked... So he entered the door way, and upon entering... the scenery has changed, about 2 inches of blood covered the floor, and a faint echoing scream is heard.. then it faded off into the distance, and there's just a long hall. He looked around as the smell and sight of blood was getting to him "Ugh.. God, that wreaks" he thought, but she shrugged it off and held his gun ready, closing his eyes for a moment then dashing down into the hall, running down it, each step made the blood splash, drops of it splashing onto his shoes and pants, but as he reached the end of the hall, there was another set of steps leading down, to another hall, but this hall had a good 12 inches of blood covering the floor, Michael found himself afraid to go any further, but the blood curdling scream of Shay's voice is heard from down the hall, "My... God... this is.. Disgusting, but... Shay might be there.. FUCK IT!" he yelled and jumped down the steps, landing in the foot of blood with a splash, and quickly he ran down the hall, which was only about 10 feet long, and at the end was a door with a sign on it but it was unmarked, "Guess I use the last key here..." he guessed, and tried the key on the door, it opened, and where it lead was into darkness...
Still, he entered cautiously, and tried to feel along the wall for some sort of light switch.. But there was none. Suddenly over head lights turned on, revealing a court-like room, dark and dim though as there appeared to be a man sitting up top dressed like a judge, wearing a black cloak with a mallet in his glove covered hand, and there was that strange woman from before, laughing.
"What?, Where am I, What's going on?!.. Where's Shay?!" Michael yelled and held up his gun in a threatening manner.
~"Have You found the key?... the key... to that locked part of Your memory...?"~
"... It's not real..." Michael thought, but just then another flash back hit him, "I didn't kill anyone... no.." then another flashback came hitting him like a ton of bricks, making him teary eyed "I.. I don't know.. what to think anymore..."
Then the judge spoke "Think fast... Your love is on the line", another light from overhead turned on, on the right side of the room, revealing Shay hanging there from her wrists, and standing under her to the right was the Red Pyramid, he looked calm though as if he were waiting for an order.
"SHAY!.. please" Michael sobbed... "Just give her back.. All I want is to be with her.. I swear... I'll leave this place and never do a bad thing in my life again.. All I want is to be with her..!"
The Judge again spoke "What is Your crime?"
~"Do You remember..?"~
"I... I faintly remember... but it's not all there... I remember seeing blood.. and dead bodies.. the struggling.. I still haven't quite figured it out.. but I'm guessing.. I killed innocent people.."
~"You loved her a lot... Perhaps too much... You were obsessive..."~
And with those words, out of nowhere stepped a shadow, he appeared to be Alex, but he looked like the living dead "How can You not remember?!" he yelled.
"I.. I'm too protective.. I admit, I hate anyone who caused her the slightest of suffering..."
"Then what is Your crime?"
"Killing innocent people... My rage got the best of me... but killing those who caused her suffering, I don't see that as a crime..."
"How do You plead?"
~"Oh, it was a crime, a big crime"~
"....Guilty.. but even if I live... Without Shay... if I go on.. Without her.. that's worse than death, or any other punishment, Please... don't take her from Me" Michael sobbed slightly, standing there before everyone begging "..Please..."
"May the spirits release their grasp on your soul, free your heart and be rid of all the memories and pain" The judge spoke, and slammed his mallet down;
"What You've done can't be forgiven, or forgotten... but.. You're lucky she was willing to sacrifice herself for You... We were going to kill You both, She stood up and protected You, even in face of our executioner the Red Pyramid, Changing our minds to give You another chance"
"..Does that mean.. we can live?.. together?"
"Let her go"
The judge spoke to the Red Pyramid, and he nodded, slashing his cleaver at Shay, but the only thing he cut was the rope, and Shaylen fell to the floor, Michael ran to her and picked her up, holding her tightly "I love You" he spoke whisperingly, almost sobbing once again, but Shaylen's eyes were closed as she was unconscious for the moment.
"Be it granted that the memories of recent events are lost in time, Be it granted that what was wronged, be right, Give these two wings on which to fly back"
The judge spoke this, seeming to be saying something mythical, he slammed his mallet down, and everything suddenly went black.
When everything returned... Michael found himself back with Shaylen in the car, She was asleep.. and he was driving, through what appeared to be the neighborhood they live in, He blinked a few times... He could still faintly remember the events of Silent Hill... That's just for now, in the weeks and months to come, He would forget, Also in the months to come, He'd find himself being blessed with the gift of becoming a father, as for Shay, she doesn't remember anything, and that's all for the best.
Silent Hill
Judgement of the Guilty
Written by Shaylen
Late in the day it was, on a clear, normal, summer's day. When Michael, and his wife Shaylen, were heading to that small little resort town of Silent Hill, with the promise of being able to relax and get away together for a few days.
"Mikie?" Shaylen blinked, her eyes were on the road but it appears Mikie's weren't as he kept slowly sliding off to the side, "Mikie are You falling asleep at the wheel?" Shay asked, when suddenly their car went swirving off to the side, She quickly grabbed the wheel and turned it back into position "Mikie! Wake up!," "Huh. Wha?! er! shit!!" Mikie woke up and regained focus "Sorry about that." he sighed nervously feeling kind of shaken for almost falling asleep at the wheel, Shay shook her head "Jeez.. Maybe I should get out and drive.. but the map says we're almost to that resort town, Forgot the name of it," but Mikie shook his head back "Nah, I'm awake now, but Supposedly this town is really nice" he said, "Oh yes, the Resort town of Silent Hill.. Sounds like a nice place," Shay spoke once she remembered the name of the town they were heading to, "It'll be good to get some relaxation.." Mikie started then a sly grin played out upon his face as he continued "Heard some of the locals are a lil weird but where is it not like that? haha.." He finished laughingly, Shaylen giggled a little then curled up in her seat as she yawned and closed her eyes "I'm gonna take a small nap, wake Me when we get there", Mikie nodded "Oka-Whoa, Damn they must be in a hurry" He exclaimed as a car sped by him in the other lane, going the opposite way he was going, then Mikie glanced over to Shay as she started to snore, to see her already asleep, at this he smiled a little, then as his eyes went back to the road he gasped and screamed "THE HELL!?" as a pair of headlights in the foggy distance drew closer, he didn't want to hit the oncoming car head on, so he swerved, but he lost control of the car and it went crashing down side of the road, the last thing heard was Michael's scream, Shay woke up about a second before impact, then everything went dark for the both of them.
Around 12 hours passed til Michael finally regained consciousness, He sat up and looked around to find that it was day time, but it was rather dark and foggy, he shrugged at this then went into a panic as Shay was nowhere to be found, the passenger side door was open and nothing was there, ".Shay?" he called out, But he got no answer.
As for Shaylen, she found herself waking up on her back in what appeared to be an empty park, "What the.. How'd I get here?" she asked aloud even though no one was around, then she sat up and looked around, "Hello?" she called out, but soon she realized "No one's here." she scratched the back of her head, then the sudden sound of a squeaky swing swinging from the playground caught her attention, for a split second she thought someone was there and turned around, but there was nothing. "Weird."
Returning back to Michael for a second, he was barely getting himself together and staggering out of the car, feeling a bit sore from the wreck, he looked around a bit calling out "Shay?, Shay!" he yelled out as he noticed a silhouette, thinking it might be Shay, he ran after it, passing all kinds of small businesses, Meanwhile Shay was still in the park, now hugging herself cause it was cold out, "Mikie?... Miiiiiiikie!!!... Ugh... Man.. Maybe.. he.. went to.." she went off and shrugged, walking around a bit, then running til she heard an echoing voice, it sounded like Mikie calling out her name, "Mikie?" she called, "Shay?, I hear You! Where are You?!" Mikie's voice called back, Shaylen didn't hear Mikie the second time as her attention was shifted to the strange sound of clanging and dragged metal on the ground coming from some where in the distance, she turned around "Huh?, Someone there?" she tried to see through the fog but it was rolling up thick, again she heard the dragging metal sound coming closer "Mikie, If You're trying to scare Me, it's not working!. Kinda.," she slightly yelled, Little did she know the villainous executioner known as the Red Pyramid was slowly stalking up on the unsuspecting girl, At this moment Shay became really scared "....Who's there?!... I can hear You!..... I..." Shay started then drifted off as her eye sight came upon the playground, some steps leading up to a small box and a slide, She ran over to the playground and up the steps, sitting down in the box and peeking her head out a bit to see if anyone was there, when by her hand she felt something cold, looking down she found it was a pipe, and she grabbed hold of it, still peeking out quietly to see if anyone was there, when suddenly the blade of an extremely sharp cleaver came cutting through the plastic wall next to Shay, she screamed and quickly scooted back then stumbled up onto her feet and ran up the steps, she didn't want to look back but she heard a demon-ish sounding "Raargh", The Red Pyramid was busy for the moment trying to pull the cleaver out of the wall, as Shay jumped down the slide at the top, and came to a rolling stop at the bottom, then again she fumbled to her feet and ran like mad "What the hell, was that thing?!" She spoke aloud, breathing heavily from the running and from fright.
At this moment Michael had found his way to the playground, from the spot he was standing, he could make-out the Red Pyramid, he shuddered as a chill rolled down his spine, but then he took notice to a piece of wood with nails at the end of it, laying by his foot so he grabbed it, then he took note that the Red Pyramid got his cleaver stuck in the wall, but when he heard Shay's scream, "Shay?!, I'm over here!, Get over here!" he yelled out into the fog, "Mikie!?" Shay yelled back, looking around for Mikie, but again she could hardly see anything through the fog, then she spotted a figure.. and she ran up to it thinking it was Mikie, but she screamed again as the figure she ran to appeared to be a demon being, wearing a straight- jacket made of flesh and blood was dripping over his un-detailed skin, the monster had no face, no hair, nothing, but flesh and a rotting smell. The monster took a step closer to her, and she stepped back shakily, then it started to charge at her, causing her to scream and out of reaction, she swung the steel pipe in her hand, as she did this her eyes were closed from fear but the pipe slammed into the side of the monsters head, slowing it down as she re-opened her eyes, the monster was bleeding but it was still coming for her, she took another step back then slammed the steel pipe into the monster's side, a few more hits made it slow down, then with a couple more fierce well-placed hits, the monster shrieked and fell over. Shaylen could feel her heart beat as she stared at the monster, not knowing what to think at this moment, But by then, the Red Pyramid had his cleaver free, and turned around to face Mikie, and slowly started stalking towards him, "The hell?!" Mikie yelled as he looked at the Red Pyramid coming closer and closer towards him, slowly but surely, then Mikie stepped back and yelled "Shay get over here now!", "Mikie, I can hear You, I can't find You!... what are these things?!.. They're disgusting!" Shaylen yelled back, continuing to run in the fog, just getting more lost, but Mikie noticed Shay, she was about 15 feet behind the Red Pyramid, He swallowed his fear for the moment, and dashed passed the Red Pyramid, it struck at Mikie with it's cleaver, but it barely missed him as Mikie ran up and took Shay by the hand, they both ran and got 20-25 feet away from the playground.
"Where the hell are we?!" Mikie yelled while stopping to catch his breath, "This can't be silent hill, it's vacant.. this town looks abandoned!" Shay exclaimed, when the sound of something falling and hitting the ground caught Mikie's attention, he looked down and saw a gun by his foot, he bent down to pick it up while complaining "...Dammit.. what are those things?! that pyramid thing almost got me with that huge ass knife!", once he picked up the gun he was surprised to find it was fully loaded, but once he stood back up, Shay was nowhere to be seen, "..Shay?.. SHAY?!" he called out, only to get no reply, He ran around a bit, holding the gun up for any monsters who wanted a piece, "Shay?! shay where did you go!?" but still Shaylen was nowhere to be seen, when suddenly a news paper rolled up against Mikie's foot from the wind blowing it, He noticed it and picked it up, the headline is about the New Hotel, "Hmm.. New hotel.. something tells Me this isn't just a coincidence... I better go check it out.. What the hell happened with this town!?".
Meanwhile, Shaylen finds herself in the hotel, in a dark room, the only light coming in was through two windows, but it was still foggy out, then out of nowhere a female voice spoke.
~"How could You let him do it?"~
"What?"
~"How could You let him do it?"~
"What're You talking about?"
~"Don't You know?, or have You forgotten as well?"~
"Who the hell are You?"
~"Fine.. Be that way... You'll find out soon enough"~
After that, the woman exited the room without giving Shay a chance to say anything after that.
Back with Michael, he pulled a map of Silent Hill out of his back pocket, luckily he wasn't too far from the hotel, and he started to head in the direction of the hotel, He tried to think, but he couldn't.. he was too shaken up inside, "Dammit... Seems like no one wants Me to rest a while..".
"This is the hotel? I wonder if Mikie's here..." Shaylen spoke aloud, then she got up and walked out of the room using the same door that strange woman did, she then found herself in a hall, with two ways to go, to the right, and left, when she looked to her left she saw a bunch of doors, when she looked to her right, she saw a hideous monster, a pair of legs from the waist down, and the waist up, this caused her to scream and run to the left, entering a random door.
Michael stepped up and looked at the "HOTEL" sign, "This must be it" he sighed, holding his handgun up and ready, bursting into the hotel and entering the lobby, glancing around warily, "Shay...? Shay You here?", there was no reply to his words, but suddenly his ears picked up the faint sounds of "Ugh!" and moan-ish screams of "Aaah!", sounding like they were coming from upstairs.. and as he stepped over to the steps, looking up he saw a door which was partially open, "The hell?" he slightly yelled and dashed up the steps, slowly entering the room... The room was barely lit by an overhead light dangling from a wire, the walls appeared to be blood soaked and rusted, the floor looked filthy and in the corner of the room was a bed, on that bed appeared to be the Red Pyramid, on top of Shay... raping her, Mikie gasped "BASTARD!" and out of instant reaction, he raised his gun and fired... After the first gunshot, the overhead light shattered and the vision of the Red Pyramid & Shaylen on the bed disappeared, The room was empty... when suddenly a laugh from a female came from behind Mikie
~"You're funny, You don't remember Your crime... but You haven't forgotten it"~
"What crime?!"
~"Such bloodshed and You don't remember? I'm sure You at least remember the blood chilling screams of those You killed"~
"..I didn't kill anyone!?"
~"You too have chosen to forget?... locking the door only builds up problems... You'll find the key sooner or later... as for Your wife... She's here in the hotel, let's just see if You can find her... in one piece..."~
The woman left after speaking those words, "Tell me where she is now!- Dammit... Shay.. where are You?" Mikie went on "And damn.. My gun's empty". Meanwhile Shaylen had locked herself up in a closet, a dark closet, and she was crying silently, being afraid of the dark, afraid of this place, and afraid of those weird monsters and the Red Pyramid, when suddenly the closet door open, Shay screamed a little in fear that a monster was on the other end, but when she looked up, all that stood there was a little blonde- haired girl.
"Who're You?"
-"Why're You crying?"-
"I'm alone, I've lost My husband... and those... weird monsters...."
-"There's no need to cry... And what monsters?"-
"The one out in the hallway"
-"There are no monsters here...."-
In the meantime... Michael came up to a door, getting desperate at this time, he decided to try and investigate every room looking for Shay, and he tried to open the door, but for some reason it didn't wanna open, and a noise could be heard from inside.
Back to Shay and the little girl...
"Have You seen a man around here?, looks to be around 6 ft tall, short hair?"
-"No I have not... but, I gotta go now, Mommy's calling"-
"Hey wait!" Shaylen called but the girl fan off, dropping something, a knife, "A knife?" Shay picked it up.
"Stupid, door, open!" Mikie yelled, then finally decided to kick the door open, as he did, it slammed open and the scream of a cat was heard, then out bolted a black cat with white patches of fur, "Just a cat.. Poor thing, must be scared as hell... Well, he ain't the only one" Mikie spoke aloud then entered the room.
The room looked, to be a normal motel room, kind of shabby though, but it had a bed, a table with a broken TV set on it, and two windows which the foggish light shined through, and on the table there appeared to be a piece of paper, which Mikie walked to and picked up, "What's this?" he asked then began to read it.
On the paper was a list of names:
Cheryl
Harry
James
Mary
Angela
Eddie.
All of the above names were crossed off in red pen, and the two remaining names made Michael's heart skip a beat:
Mikie
Shay.
"What in the hell?" Mikie thought as he pocketed the piece of paper, then glanced around for anything that appeared to be of use, when on the edge of the table was a health drink (Author's note: LoL, this part was meant to be comical), Michael sighed "Dammit.. it's so easy in the movies and video games to find this bad ass stuff just laying around.. Guess I gotta get back to reality.." then he nabbed the Health drink and walked out of the room, heading down the hall. While looking to his right, Mikie saw another door and tried to open it, but frustration overcame him "Dammit Shay!, Where the hell are You?!" he yelled, his temper slightly flaring up as he suddenly got a quick flashback, of a bloody body falling to the ground, coughing up blood, but ultimately choking to death, this flashback shook Michael up inside, but what snapped him out of it was the faint sound of Shaylen's voice coming from inside the door "Miiikie...", "Shay?!" Mikie called back, forgetting anything else at the moment and kicking on the door as hard as he could, The door slowly opened despite his brute force in kicking it, as the door open he entered the room, and it appeared to be another hotel room, but it was rather luxurious as it had a nice clean bed, a built in tub, beautiful window curtains, and there she was, laying on the bed naked with only a sheet covering her, with her breasts in full view, "Miiikie..." She called out, but something about her voice was eerie, "..Shay?" Mikie looked, almost not believing what Shay was doing, laying naked on a bed with all these monsters running about, "Get Your clothes on!, We gotta get out of here!" Mikie yelled, "It's alright... Now..... Come here Mikie" Shaylen calmly spoke, patting the spot on the bed next to her "Sit", Michael sighed "We don't have time for this.. As much as I'd love to.. There's monsters everywhere!", Shaylen heard this and replied with a slight sense of anger visible in her tone of voice "It's alright!, Now come... Sit", again Michael sighed with his arms slightly folded over his chest "Fine..." he slowly walked over to the bed and sat down, placing his nailed piece of wood next to him on the floor, Shaylen smiled, and wrapped an arm around Michael, pulling him closer to her naked body while planting a soft kiss on his lips, Michael was surprised and a bit nervous at her actions, but he found himself giving in slightly, Shaylen gently began to rub the back of his head, and she rolled over onto her back, taking him with her, thus making him on top of her as she continued to kiss him softly, He started to breath a bit heavier as he kissed her back... but thoughts of that whole Red Pyramid fiasco filled his head, causing him to quickly jerk his head away, breathing hard as he found himself nervous as hell "You're... not... real" he slowly spoke, To this Shaylen replied "Mikie... I'm real, Don't You remember?... we came here to get away together, Don't You want to spend some quality time together?...", Michael yelled back slightly "But how can you act like this after all that has happened?!", Shaylen gently rubbed on the back of his head again with a strangely calm smile lain out upon her strangely pale face "Calm down...Nothing's happened, You were sleeping.. and had a nightmare...", Michael shook his head "But... I'm still sore from the wreck, and My legs ache from running so much...", Shaylen smiled again strangely "It's all in your mind... just.. relax", she wrapped her arms around him tightly, letting her body's warmth flow onto his, then she started to kiss him again, But he pulled back and stood up "No.. I don't know what the hell is going on but I'm not falling for this again!", At this Shaylen began to sniffle and almost cry "You don't love me...", Michael sighed "Of course I love you! This is... just all... too weird for me..", he lowered his head and sighed once again "It must've been one helluva nightmare... I'm sorry..", he apologized and slowly slinked back under the covers, and held Shaylen firmly in a loving way, "It's alright" she smiled, slowly climbing on top of him, then she leaned her head down to kiss him in a very deep passionate way, Michael found himself kissing back just as passionate as his hands rubbed over her back, finally he felt relaxed, as Shaylen softly moaned and 'positioned' herself on top of him in a pleasurable manner, moving her hips up and down, he felt a sudden rush of pleasure and a nice tingling sensation come over his body, At this he moaned and began to rub on her back slightly harder, he was still feeling... funny, but relaxed, and over the next few minutes he found himself and 'Shaylen' making hot passionate love (Author: WOO! . ), He found the pleasure to be kind of intense as he closed his eyes for a moment, but something wasn't right when he re-opened them, he opened his eyes and looked up at 'her', Shaylen was smiling, happy and beautiful as ever, when suddenly blood just started oozing out from her mouth, eyes, nose, dripping down her face and body, the blood soaking the once white bed sheets, and the blood dripping down onto his body, Mikie yelled "What the hell Shay?!", At this Shay sat up and slapped him on the face, yelling in an anger-ish tone that seemed abnormal "What're you yelling about?, I thought You liked the sight of blood!", "What're You talking about?!" Michael yelled back, when suddenly he had a vivid flashback of looking around and seeing bloody, torn up dead bodies, this caused him to jump from the bed and pick up his wooden stick with nails at the end, "What the hell is going on?!" he nearly screamed, But as he got up, everything was back to normal... the room he was in is now nothing more than a plain ol hotel room, a messy bed, a desk, a bookshelf, and a rusted out bathtub, "What the.... I don't get it!... Shay...", he sighed breathing heavily, "I can't let this get to Me... I must find Shay!", he re-ensured himself, and took notice of the desk, he walked to it and inspected it, inside was a black unmarked video, "This might be useful later, Might as well take it" he thought, and shoved it into a back pocket, then he searched the rest of the room, but it was pretty much empty, cept for a small card on the table reading "Maria's Nightclub and Bar, Located in the lower west side of the hotel, by lobby", Michael stashed the card in his pocket and walked out of the room feeling more shook up inside than ever.
To the right of where Mikie was facing, was an elevator which he took notice to, but he thought about it "Hmm.. I dunno... No telling what's up with that elevator, but... I guess I'll try anyway, I have to find her...", he pressed the button and waited for the elevator to arrive on his floor, suddenly 'Ding' the elevator door opened, but as he looked inside it... his vision flashed from normal, to a blood soaked red, then back to normal, "AH...Ah....", he shook his head, and stepped inside the elevator, "I've gotta get over My fear..", the floor panel inside the elevator stated that the hotel has 13 floors, but he pressed the button for the first floor, and began to wait patiently... Finally he arrived on the 1st floor, and when he stepped out, there was some bullets on the floor, he bent over and picked them up, reloading his gun and stashing some in his pocket, being surprised at how many bullets were there (Author: If this were a game, We'd be playing it on easy mode right now?), "Now I feel a bit safer in this hellish place" he sighed, and began walking down the faintly lit hall, "I guess I should check out that Nightclub place" he thought, and he continued walking on, but this time with a bit more confidence in his step as he held his gun at his side, then he came upon a table in the middle of the hallway, there was something shiny on it, He walked to the table and began to inspect it when the table suddenly jumped up causing him to jump back from shock "Ahh!", he held his gun up ready to fire, but the table's legs started to move and it started to run towards him, still with something shiny on the table's back, as the table came running at him though, Mikie closed his eyes after taking aim, and repeatedly shot at the table 5 times, till it fell over and stopped moving, finally he could see what was on the table, a set of keys, he swiped 'em and looked at them, the tags on the 3 keys read "Bar key", "Basement key", and the 3rd was unmarked, "Bar key, must be used to get into that Nightclub" he thought, and continued his way down the hall when suddenly it ended with a door way to the left, that door way broke off into a hall, with two ways to go, to the right, or to the left, on the wall was an arrow pointing to the right which read "Lobby" and the arrow pointing to the left read "Maria's Nightclub and Bar" so, he figured he'd take a left, and as he did, he came up to the bar entrance which was covered by steel bars with a padlock on front, he used the key and it worked.
Upon entering the bar, There was a dim neon banner that read "Open" then it shorted out, but there was still overhead light given from dangling light fixtures, On the counter of the bar was spilled beer, broken glass, and a TV with a VCR behind the counter, Mikie took note of this and pulled the video tape out from his pocket, turning on the TV and the VCR, then popping the tape into the VCR and pressing play "Hope this works..." he thought aloud while watching the static on screen, And the tape began to play, the screen was black but there were voices, they voices were of Michael and Shaylen:
"Is it recording?"
"You forgot to take the lens-cap off!"
"Oh!"
The lens-cap was then removed and the video showed a beautiful wedding chapel,
"You got it working?"
"Yes"
"Ok, tomorrow's the big day, we'll leave the camera here, Now let's go home",
Then from there the video went blank, then it went into static, then it showed the wedding chapel again, but this time it was full of people, friends, and family, Michael laughed at the first part of the tape, how he forgot to take the lens-cap off "Heh, I remember that... man I felt so stupid" then he went quiet as the 2nd part was beginning to play: Shaylen was seen on the video, wearing a wedding dress, white and beautiful, and upon her reaching the alter, the priest went on with his duties, shortly after everything was done and the "I do"'s were spoken and their first kiss as a married couple kissed, Shaylen's ex boyfriend Alex walked up on the side of her, At the time Michael was disgusted for even letting Shay invite him to the wedding, and a great anger was building up inside him. While watching the video, Mikie was smiling up until he saw the dirtbag Alex come on screen "I almost forgot about him being there.." he thought, when suddenly he had another vivid flashback of murder. Back to the video, it had broke off into static, and the static continued, but something wanted to show up on screen, it didn't though, just screams were heard, "YOU ASSHOLE!" was heard, it sounded like Mikie yelling it, the static on screen then faded into a blood-shade of red as suddenly the picture came in, the camera's view was from the floor, it was tilted on it's side, And all that was visible were two sets of feet, it was apparent that a struggle was going on. "What..?" Mikie spoke aloud while continuing to watch the video. The video on screen kept running... Eventhough the tape has run out, suddenly another voice was heard yelling "DIE" it again sounded to be Michael's voice, suddenly a spatter of blood spat on the floor and splashed onto the camera's lens, covering half the screen in blood, shortly after another blood spatter covered the other half of the camera's lens, covering the whole screen in blood as another scream was heard, this scream was blood chilling, then there was a dead bodied thud as something blurry fell to the floor.
"No..." Mikie started, then slipped into a flash back "No! this is just..." he started to hear some sort of weird high pitched sound "...Some sort of.. mind trick", the video from the VCR suddenly ejected, but on the TV screen was more static as the faint sound of Shay's voice came in "Mikie!, Mikie where are You?!, Help me!, They're gonna kill me.. They're insane.....", the voice drifted off "SHAY!" Michael screamed, he felt a rush of anger inside him explode as he pulled out the wooden stick with nails, and began to hit everything in sight "Damn bastards!" he yelled out, when suddenly the TV shut off, but he could hear the faint sound of screaming, and from the right of where Michael was standing, there was a door marked "Basement". He perked a brow at the screaming, and walked over to the door once he stopped hitting everything, He tried using the basement key, and it worked... So he entered the door way, and upon entering... the scenery has changed, about 2 inches of blood covered the floor, and a faint echoing scream is heard.. then it faded off into the distance, and there's just a long hall. He looked around as the smell and sight of blood was getting to him "Ugh.. God, that wreaks" he thought, but she shrugged it off and held his gun ready, closing his eyes for a moment then dashing down into the hall, running down it, each step made the blood splash, drops of it splashing onto his shoes and pants, but as he reached the end of the hall, there was another set of steps leading down, to another hall, but this hall had a good 12 inches of blood covering the floor, Michael found himself afraid to go any further, but the blood curdling scream of Shay's voice is heard from down the hall, "My... God... this is.. Disgusting, but... Shay might be there.. FUCK IT!" he yelled and jumped down the steps, landing in the foot of blood with a splash, and quickly he ran down the hall, which was only about 10 feet long, and at the end was a door with a sign on it but it was unmarked, "Guess I use the last key here..." he guessed, and tried the key on the door, it opened, and where it lead was into darkness...
Still, he entered cautiously, and tried to feel along the wall for some sort of light switch.. But there was none. Suddenly over head lights turned on, revealing a court-like room, dark and dim though as there appeared to be a man sitting up top dressed like a judge, wearing a black cloak with a mallet in his glove covered hand, and there was that strange woman from before, laughing.
"What?, Where am I, What's going on?!.. Where's Shay?!" Michael yelled and held up his gun in a threatening manner.
~"Have You found the key?... the key... to that locked part of Your memory...?"~
"... It's not real..." Michael thought, but just then another flash back hit him, "I didn't kill anyone... no.." then another flashback came hitting him like a ton of bricks, making him teary eyed "I.. I don't know.. what to think anymore..."
Then the judge spoke "Think fast... Your love is on the line", another light from overhead turned on, on the right side of the room, revealing Shay hanging there from her wrists, and standing under her to the right was the Red Pyramid, he looked calm though as if he were waiting for an order.
"SHAY!.. please" Michael sobbed... "Just give her back.. All I want is to be with her.. I swear... I'll leave this place and never do a bad thing in my life again.. All I want is to be with her..!"
The Judge again spoke "What is Your crime?"
~"Do You remember..?"~
"I... I faintly remember... but it's not all there... I remember seeing blood.. and dead bodies.. the struggling.. I still haven't quite figured it out.. but I'm guessing.. I killed innocent people.."
~"You loved her a lot... Perhaps too much... You were obsessive..."~
And with those words, out of nowhere stepped a shadow, he appeared to be Alex, but he looked like the living dead "How can You not remember?!" he yelled.
"I.. I'm too protective.. I admit, I hate anyone who caused her the slightest of suffering..."
"Then what is Your crime?"
"Killing innocent people... My rage got the best of me... but killing those who caused her suffering, I don't see that as a crime..."
"How do You plead?"
~"Oh, it was a crime, a big crime"~
"....Guilty.. but even if I live... Without Shay... if I go on.. Without her.. that's worse than death, or any other punishment, Please... don't take her from Me" Michael sobbed slightly, standing there before everyone begging "..Please..."
"May the spirits release their grasp on your soul, free your heart and be rid of all the memories and pain" The judge spoke, and slammed his mallet down;
"What You've done can't be forgiven, or forgotten... but.. You're lucky she was willing to sacrifice herself for You... We were going to kill You both, She stood up and protected You, even in face of our executioner the Red Pyramid, Changing our minds to give You another chance"
"..Does that mean.. we can live?.. together?"
"Let her go"
The judge spoke to the Red Pyramid, and he nodded, slashing his cleaver at Shay, but the only thing he cut was the rope, and Shaylen fell to the floor, Michael ran to her and picked her up, holding her tightly "I love You" he spoke whisperingly, almost sobbing once again, but Shaylen's eyes were closed as she was unconscious for the moment.
"Be it granted that the memories of recent events are lost in time, Be it granted that what was wronged, be right, Give these two wings on which to fly back"
The judge spoke this, seeming to be saying something mythical, he slammed his mallet down, and everything suddenly went black.
When everything returned... Michael found himself back with Shaylen in the car, She was asleep.. and he was driving, through what appeared to be the neighborhood they live in, He blinked a few times... He could still faintly remember the events of Silent Hill... That's just for now, in the weeks and months to come, He would forget, Also in the months to come, He'd find himself being blessed with the gift of becoming a father, as for Shay, she doesn't remember anything, and that's all for the best.
