Sebastian was back in the hospital. Somehow, looking into the flames had transported him here. He was sitting on a bed, and there was that nurse, Lisa, sitting on a chair in front of him.
"Sebastian," She said, as he looked her in the eye. Lisa is here? So, I'm in the hospital…
Lisa noticed Sebastian looking around as if he were confused, which he was.
"You were having a bad dream," She explained to him.
"Was I?" He asked. He clearly remembered leaving the hospital. Also, he had come in contact with Grell…in that antique shop. Could that have all been a dream? It couldn't have been…could it? Everything about that meeting felt so real.
Sebastian snapped out of his thoughts and took a good look at Lisa. Was it him, or did she seem a bit paler then the last time he had seen her?
"Hey, you don't look too good. Are you ok?" Sebastian asked. He wouldn't mind taking care of her. If he could find the right medicines, he could instantly heal her, but then again she was a nurse so it would seem highly unnecessary.
"I'm fine," She answered a bit coldly. "Nothing you need to worry about."
"Well, if you're sure…" Sebastian shrugged. He wasn't going to force her to tell him what was wrong. He couldn't care too much about this nurse, not until he found his bocchan.
"Lisa…Do you know a woman named Dahlia Phantomhive?" He asked. She was related to Ciel, and lived in this town, so maybe she knew about her.
"Oh yeah, that crazy Phantomhive lady," Lisa answered. Good, she knew about her. Now he would be able to be one step closer to figuring out what was happening. "She's kinda famous around here. She never sees anybody, so I don't know that much about her. I heard her kid died in a fire, and supposedly she's been crazy ever since."
What? This doesn't make any sense. Sebastian was utterly confused. According to my research, every single Phantomhive had died in a fire, except for Madam Red and Ciel. And, Ciel's mother was named Rachel, not Dahlia. Though, there could be a chance that she changed her name, but she's supposed to be dead…and I didn't find bocchan here…this is so very perplexing…
"Well, she says the town is being devoured by the darkness," Sebastian continued on with the conversation, making sure not to cause Lisa to worry about his brief pause as he tried to piece things together. "Do you have any idea what she's talking about?"
"The town…devoured by the darkness," Lisa repeated. "Yes, I think I do. Before this place was turned into a resort, the townspeople here were on the quiet side. Everybody followed some kind of queer religion Weird occult stuff…black magic, that kind of thing."
An occult? Well, Ciel did have an unnatural connection with the supernatural, Sebastian thought.
"As young people moved away, the people figured they'd been summoned by the gods. Evidently, things like that used to happen around here all the time. Before the resort, there really wasn't anything else out here. Everyone was so flipped out. Gotta blame it on something. Then a lot of new people came in and everybody clammed up about it."
"A cult…" Sebastian mused. He did it so she would know he had been listening, which he had.
"Last time I heard anything about it was, gosh, years ago…when several people connected with developing the town died in accidents. People said it was a curse. I'm sorry, I'm rambling…I'll shut up," Lisa finished, and then Sebastian blacked out yet again.
This time Sebastian woke up in a completely different room. Why had he fainted again?
"Was that another dream?" Sebastian asked aloud. It was so bizarre. Was he having dreams within dreams now? Though, how could they be dreams if everything was just too real?
I don't want to think that this is a possibility…but all these strange things could all just be going around in my head. I could have ended up in that car accident and could be lying unconscious in a hospital bed…but how can that be? I am a demon. I don't really know what to believe is real and what is just an illusion anymore…
Breaking from his thoughts was what Grell had told him. He had seen a young boy headed towards the lake. There was a slight chance that the boy could be Ciel, and hopefully it was. Though, the road to the lake is blocked which would cause some difficulty of getting across.
Maybe Lisa would know, he thought. Sebastian tried to locate where exactly he was. By examining the map, he concluded that he was somewhere near the mall of Silent Hill. It seemed as if that would be the only way to find Lisa again.
Once he passed by a few more of those demented children, Sebastian had reached the mall and entered. The stores on the first floor were closed, and to the side of him were nothing but TVs. He decided that he would head upstairs, but then TVs had magically turned on all by themselves. Each of them showing an odd symbol, the sign of Samael.
Then all the screens showed Ciel, in pain. Through the static, Sebastian heard his bocchan's voice.
"Sebastian…Help me…please…where are you?"
All of the TVs showed Ciel for a few more seconds before going into static. Then showing random symbols that seemed to have no meaning.
Bocchan…where are you? Sebastian was now restless. They were both lost within this town, Sebastian desperately trying to find his young master, who had disappeared unexpectedly. He must be in trouble if he asked for help, and even said please! Why did they ever come to this town in the first place?
