A/N: Well summers here so I can write freely again so I'll start putting up more stuff. Here is chapter 10. P.S. I'm thinking of killing off Zakk for dramatic effect what do you think? R&R. Oh and this is back to James.
Chapter 10: Old Friend
--
I walked out of the forest a little tired. That agent was tough. I missed my friends and wondered if they were okay. I walked through the woods until I got to the street. I stood under a street lamp to take a little break. I suddenly heard gun fire, sounded a lot like a shotgun. I though for a second, maybe that was one of my friends!
I started walking toward a building that the gun fire was coming from. The doors were locked. If gun fire was coming from within then it couldn't be good. I hit the glass door with my shovel. It shattered and I heard someone inside yell "What the hell?"
"Hey need any help in there?" I yelled back.
"Yea please help me. I'm almost out of ammo so please help!"
"I'm coming for ya!" I yelled at him. I ran in to the back room of this little office. Someone was in the back firing at a line of monsters of different types. I drew my pistol with my hand that I wasn't holding the shovel with. I burst in yelling to get the monsters attention. It was dark so I couldn't see too well. A patient demon attacked first and I hit it with the shovel. It fell over in a bloody scream. More attacked and I delivered blow after blow and bullet after bullet. The other guy was helping but I could tell when he ran out of ammo.
After what seemed like an hour, all the monsters were dead. I walked out of the back room into the lights of the office. I sat down in a chair to take a breather. The other guy walked out and my mind exploded. Someone I never thought to see here appeared in front of me. "OMG! Dallas? What in the bloody hell are you doing here?" I yelled at him.
"Holy crap if it isn't James! I couldn't tell you what I was doing here if I tried. I was driving around Kuna and the next thing I know I'm here in Silent Hill. Is it only you who are here? You haven't killed any one so why are you here?"
"I don't know why I'm here either. I never killed anyone. Oh, and Zakk and Ally are here too. Don't know where they are. We were all split up."
"Well… I think I know why Zakk's here… He must not of told you. He killed a man by mistake. But instead of calling the cops, he hid the body. They found the body and his DNA on it. He apparently spit on the body before he buried it. Ally didn't do anything either so I don't know why she's here either."
My mind melted. Zakk killed someone. He was no innocent. I was instantly pissed. I threw my shovel to the floor. I sat there and thought for a moment. "Why did he do it?" I said to Dallas. Zakk was going to die, more then likely, here in Silent Hill. I knew how all this stuff worked, too many video games and movies. After all this was over, if everyone was alive except for Zakk, that it would look like someone ran us off the road and Zakk died in the crash. I couldn't believe all this.
"I'm sorry James. Are you going to be okay?" Dallas was trying to comfort me. That's when it started coming back to me. Zakk made some new friends that were bad influences. That must have been why he did what he did. Damn it… that idiot.
"Maybe we should get out of here," I said and started to get up. I walked out into the street and wiped the tears off my face. I don't know why I was crying. The tough guy hero never cries. "We've got to find Ally, wherever she may be."
"Okay good plan. We should get ammo too." Dallas sighed.
"Oh here," I dug into my bag and pulled out a box of shotgun shells. I also pulled out a knife and gave them to Dallas. That church gave me some random items and the knife and shells were in them. He took them and reloaded his weapon. He put the knife on his belt. We walked down the street and killed a few monsters. I took some of my rage out on them. We walked into an apartment building to start our search. After we went in I checked the door and it was already locked. I saw a map on a chair by the door. Good, this would come in handy.
We checked all the doors on the first floor but most were locked. The few that weren't locked we entered. Most were empty but two of them. These had some things in them. One had two demons that were quickly dispatched. The other held a rubber chicken. Dallas picked it up and yelled "THE ULTIMATE WEAPON!" I laughed at the joke; he threw it aside and picked up a key that had fallen out of it. We looked at it and laughed. We dubbed it the 'chicken' key.
We went to the second floor via the stairs. The elevator was out. We had to use the 'chicken' key to get through the door to the second floor. Its halls held a few monsters, locked and broken doors, and a few unlocked. In one of its rooms it held a news paper article about a little girl who had gone missing in the sub-way. They searched every station and train in town but never found her. She was presumed dead. "Creepy," Dallas said as I read the article out loud.
"This must be a clue to there we have to go next. To the sub-way I guess." I said as I put the article in my bag.
As we were leaving the room we heard a scraping of metal. 'Oh no,' I thought. It was Pyramid Head. I looked down the hall and sure enough there he was. But it wasn't just him. There was another guy there too. I thought for a second. It was the Butcher. "Shit, run!" I yelled. "I second that!" Dallas yelled as we ran down the hall. They started running after us. Well crap, this wasn't supposed to happen. We ran in a room to try and hide. There was this odd mirror in there. Its reflection was weird. It was all bloody and rusty. 'Here we go' I thought as I touched the mirror. Dallas did as I did. When we opened our eyes we were in a nightmare of a world. Blood and rust was everywhere. This can't be good I thought.
"Is this the nightmare world you told me about when we were playing SH2?" Dallas asked as he looked around the room. I told him it was and we walked out into the hallway. The two baddies were gone. We couldn't leave because the door that led to the stairs was sealed. We walked around checking doors and looking at the map. Eventually we got to a door that had another mirror in it. This was in a part of the apartment building that you couldn't get to from where we were. We went back through the mirror into the real world. "Woo good to be back," I heard Dallas say as we opened our eyes. We peeked into the hall before we gave ourselves away to anything out there. It was empty. We went out and found a stairway to the outside. It was the apartment's backdoor.
Outside the backdoor was an entrance to the sub-way. It had a board across it that had a note on it. It was something stupid so I just hoped over the board. Dallas followed and we went into the sub-way.
