In My Restless Dreams
Part Four:
Holding Out For A Hero
The red pyramid thing dragged to the roof, banging my head on stairs as he trudged along. I had to try my best to hold it up, but my head kept getting bruised and cut on the concrete staris. I didn't scream from fear of death or pain, but instead, I cried in fear of losing James. I was waiting. Any moment I would be saved, I told myself. I denied the fact that I was going to die as blood slowly trickled from cuts all over my body. My love was hurting, I knew it. All of a sudden, the thing stopped, I presume he was opening a door. In the distance, I heard a series of pingings, and then a bang. Like metal falling to metal. I thought nothing of it until I heard THIS.
"JAMIE! I'M COMING FOR YOU! DON'T WORRY!" My face lightened up a million times, and I laughed triumphantly. Pyramid Head threw the door open, and I went tumbling into the concrete on the rooftop. He'd thrown me. James' footsteps were pounding on the concrete, I knew he was coming. My Hercules, my Superman, my hero. I thought I was saved for shit, but then... BANG! Pyramid Head slammed the door shut, and it locked itself. He jammed it with a large, solid pipe that was sticking of the wall. My heart dropped, and so did my expression. I was not surviving. That was it for me.
I heard my James bang against the door, Maria's light footsteps clinking along after him. He screamed through the door, crying and angrily shouting at the thing that was holding me captive. I looked all around for an excape. I tried to stand, but I just didn't have it in me. I looked again, and there was a staircase. I shouted at James.
"JAMES! THERE'S A DOOR HERE! FIND IT!" Maria reached the door as I was shouting.
"We're coming! I know James will rescue you!" she shouted, somewhat disappointed. I smiled at that on the inside. Pyramid Head came charging at me as fist as he could come with his helmet. I started crying. I tried to scuttle away, but I was in such pain that I cried out when I moved. The thing took me in one hand then grabbed me with the other. He held me where I my face was to the sky, and my back was to the ground, grabbing my waist. I accidently kicked his apron up, and it fell around my hips. I may have helped him more than hurt because I think his main objective was to do what he did next. He immediately thrusted into me, causing a wave of pain roll through my body.
I screamed, and I think it brought God's attention to this world that I was stuck in, because at that moment, James kicked on the door, screaming. Pyramid Head jerked me back and forth, quickly, strongly, my vision blurred, and I screamed just as James came busting in. PH jerked me a few more times then dropped me as James came charging at the beast with an axe.
Blood gushed from its shoulder, but it didn't appear hurt at all. I stammered to my feet in an attempt to get at it, too. My adrenaline hid the pain in my body as I picked the monster's sword up from the ground. Rasing it over my head, I let loose a triumphant battle cry that rang out through the empty town below. I got up and rammed the Great Knife into the beast.
We tustled and tossed, and James was thrown to the ground, Maria was left cheering in the sidelines. I was tossed to the edge of the building, and I stumbled, trying not to fall, my back bleeding from being sliced in the battle. James came tumbling at me, tryingto save me, but PH pushed us off. He turned in the air, resting under me when we hit the ground.
