AN. Just a warning this chapter is kind of gross, Deans POV again. It has lots of hack and slashing action, blood and guts galore. The monsters are taken from the various games and the movie. I generally didn't use their real names, because Dean and Sam wouldn't know the names anyway. Tried to stay mostly within Silent Hill canon with the descriptions. My apologies if there are technical mistakes, as usual this is rushed out.
Don't own Supernatural/Twilight or Silent Hill, I just pull the strings and make the puppets dance together in this twisted parody
Chapter 14
The hospital loomed menacingly through the haze, it seemed to ooze all kinds of wrong. That wasn't the problem, the problem was the sea of monstrosities which were all looking in our direction. Cas stopped so quickly I bumped into him. "It doesn't want you to enter. It's amassed an army to prevent you. It wants me alone" He gave me an earnest glance. I'm frozen in place, staring as dog like creatures break from the ranks and begin running at us.
Cas snapped me out of my fearful paralysis as he growls, "I'll take down the big ones" and he sprints away leaping over the encroaching canines into the mass of deformed bodies beyond.
I hear Sam curse, then the slide and click of the pump-action shotgun. I have my own gun in hand quickly and the shots ring out drowning out the yelping and screeches of the creatures coming for us. A skinless earless dog thing leaps at me jaws open, amazingly I shoot it in the mouth mid jump, the back of its head spatters with a pop and it falls limply at my feet.
Bella has her knife, I can't imagine she's going to successfully defend herself with it. I miss one and it rushes past me and straight for her. I'm out of shots and fumble as I try to snap in another clip. The terror on her face transforms to determination as it jumps onto her. She stabs it in the throat using its own momentum to impale itself. She falls backwards with the heavy beast landing on top on her. Sam pushes it off with his foot and helps her up. I give her a quick nod of acknowledgement for her clumsy but effective kill. She yanks her weapon free, looking at it with a frown on her face. That's when I see the knife is glowing hotly, wisps of steam rising as the blood evaporates from it's blade.
I blasted several more away while Sam reloads the shotgun. We were going to need it because there were things much worse than just freaky ass dogs coming for us. Things got chaotic. Several creepy figures were lumbering towards up wrapped in what looked like straitjackets made of their own skin. There was no face but a huge gruesome opening in the chest which pulsed in and out. I fired shot after shot, one finally collapsed in a cloud of noxious gas after the 4th round. I doubled over, choking in the fumes, tears coming to my eyes. The body continued to writhe and squirm on the ground as if it was caught in a loop of eternal agony. An Image came to me unbidden; of Hell. I remembered looking down on unrecognisable bodies twisting in the throes of torment beneath my blade. I swallowed the bitter taste that had suddenly come into my mouth at the memory.
Sam now fully loaded- dispatched two more gasy patient demons. I could see Cas now, he's covered in god knows what, wielding his Rambo knife like a bad ass. A massive lumbering obese monster shuffles towards him on stumpy legs. Its bulging body covered in sores, oozing pus. I can't help but flinch when I see it make a sudden lunge for the Angel, swiping at him with a thick trunk like arm. The Angel moved so fast I didn't realize what had happened at first. Not until the lumbering creature stumbles and then its massive belly opens up like a sausage bursting its skin. Yellow fat and pus oozed out, followed by turgid purple ropes of intestine. It keeps moving, standing on its own innards, and yanking more out as it walks. Cas flitted behind the beast and stabbed it in the back Levering the knife down through flesh and bone, it fell forward crashing to the ground. As Cas pulls out the knife there's a look of satisfaction on his face. My eyes meet his, we hold each others gaze for a moment, until a torso with two sets of legs joint vertically at the waist comes at me. This shit is screwed up, Is my only thought as a pair of upside down footless stumps stab down at me.
I'm knocked off my feet, Bella lunges forward to my rescue. Huh brave girl. She stabs wildly, despite not knowing what she is doing, she gets lucky and the knife embeds right in the sweet spot between the top set of legs, there's a sizzle as the blade reacts to the abominations flesh. Despite myself I wince. The bottom set of legs shake and collapse. I crawl backwards as the topsy-turvy 4 legged creature scrambles around in the ash like some sort of demented spider. I get to my feet and shoot at another creepy set of walking lady legs. What a waste of perfectly good legs.
My gun is empty again, I swap it for the Colt .45 and yank Bella's knife out of the creatures crotch and passing it back to her. She looks stunned at first by what she has done, "Good work" I mutter, giving credit where credit is due. She gives me a weak smile in return, before looking back at the army of monsters lumbering towards us. "There's too many," She says.
"I know" I reply.
I'm catch myself thinking this whole thing is a lost cause. Especially when a huge beast with blades for arms and legs scoots towards us. Its head hung down between it legs like a pair of mutated testicles. There were no eyes just a hissing mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. Bella squeals, I almost do as well, gotta get my head in the game. Sammy and I start unloading the lead into the needle walker. It gets too close and lunges. I roll sideways as a blade catches me along the arm, ripping my jacket. Too damn close.
Sam takes the opening and shoves the shotty into the creatures gnashing mouth. The blast blows chucks all over me, flaps of skin and red goo slide down my face. I scramble up, "oh fuck." Rubbing the shit off my face, with the shredded remains of my jacket sleeve.
Cas walks back towards us casually coming up behind another needle walker. He ducks under its long legs and slits it from head to stern, brown blood and gore spill out like he's cut into a rotten fruit. Cas ducks out quickly. He stinks of killing; he notices my grimace and shrugs out of his overcoat, tucking the radio in his pants and throwing the tattered coat aside. He rolls up the sleeves of his stained shirt. Half of his face covered with drying blood, there's no cut visible so I assume it isn't his own. He jerks his head in the direction of a looming figure standing amongst the remaining monsters. "It's best if I deal with this one myself." He says.
I get the feeling this ain't up for discussion. "What is it?"
"The red pyramid, it is the executioner, he is attracted to those who feel an extreme amount of guilt and have an overwhelming desire to be punished." He looks at me, at all of us. I know what he's thinking, guilt was the one thing we all had in common, even Bella in her screwed up I left my Vampire boyfriend kind of way. Suddenly things go darker; I hear the distant wail of an air raid siren. The sound makes my skin crawl.
Bella gasps.
Sammy looks up into the sky saying, "Uh guys what's happening?"
"I dunno Sammy, but I have a bad feeling."
"This is good, We are about to enter the other world, we will now have access to the gate." Cas says.
I'm not liking his version of good news, the sky is filled with black cloud and orange light. It looks like the heavens are on fire. Again I get an unwelcome flashback to my less than sunny days on the underside.
The Hospital blackens with age before us, and jagged spires seem to grow organically out of the roof. I turn my attention back to Cas who is striding forward into the fray, splattering monsters as he goes. Very few manage to reach us and our guns. The giant begins to lope heavily towards us dragging a massive sword behind. It wears a leather apron which looks disturbingly like human skin. The ground has transformed into red volcanic clay. the ginormous sword leaves a long groove in the scorched earth. To clear its way Pyramid head flings a needle walker aside like a rag doll. The awkward creature gets tangled and impales itself on its bladed limbs, tearing itself apart as it struggled in vain to stand.
Cas clashed with the massive monster. The creature swings the blade and Cas dodges it easily. With a flap of those dark wings, he half leaps, half flies around the helmeted figure, who tries to turn slowly. The angel darts in and out from different directions, slashing at the thickly corded muscle of the behemoths body. Dark blood oozes out of the deep cuts. It almost seems as if the Angel is toying with the beast. Cas is radiating menace, aggression written into his face and movements. It is a strange and clumsy dance of death. The executioner swings the blade vertical in an attempt to chop Cas head to toe. The angel pops out of sight, reappearing behind the monster.
This needs to end now, Cas is going to get flattened if he keeps playing this game. I start walking towards them, shooting anything that gets in my way. Cas has gripped the front lip of the huge helm and is sawing at the thick trunk of the monsters neck, black goo spilling down its front. The creature is desperately grasping with huge hands, trying to rip the angel free. Handfuls of Cas's shirt are torn away. Somehow Cas is still holding on, grimacing as he hacks at the flesh concealed by the front of the jutting helmet. The creatures legs buckle and it falls to its knees. I shoot some rounds into its chest. Cas rips the head off, the sound of cracking bone and tearing tendons makes me cringe. The massive body falls forward leaving the helmet in Cas's bloody hands. Black viscous fluid pulses out of the ragged wound where the creature's head once was. Cas has a strange dark look on his face as he lets the helmet drop at his feet, His nose twitching in disgust.
"Christ Cas, That was impressive."
"Was it Dean, really." Cas says fury blazing on his features.
I remember he doesn't like it when I blaspheme. His shirt is in tatters and he pulls it off flinging the remnants onto the ground. He's standing there wearing only a singlet, every muscle in his arms and on his chest is tense. I then notice the black veins under his skin. He's exuding dark energy, it ripples like black flames kissing his flesh. I shiver, feeling cold at the sight of him.
"This is what I have been reduced to, dismembering people's nightmares, the more I kill, the more I become like them."
I looked at him in horror, now realizing the absolute truth behind his words.
He looks up his gaze moving past me, I turn to see what he is looking at. A dark bent figure blurs and disappears behind a building.
Cas looks like he has seen a ghost, I'm about to ask him who it was, when I hear someone yelling.
We turn towards a side street and there's a man standing back among the broken buildings staring at us. "Another lamb to the slaughter," Says the Angel, his voice a harsh whisper.
I wonder if he meant to say that out loud.
I hear Bella cry out, "Edward!"
Oh fuck me, not the damn Vamp!
