Claire left the R.P.D angrily," I'm not a child so can they stop treating me like one."

Claire walked to the library to cool off and found it easy. She went in and picked a random book from the adult section that was Carrie from Stephen King.

Sitting down at an empty table Claire started reading the book but it started to change after about the third chapter from a girl being bullied to a girl abused by her religious mother and became a young girl over a teenage girl.

Claire shut the book and sat back down at the table angrily and ended up falling asleep,

"Hey. Your Claire right?"

Claire shot up," Who are you?"

"Rebecca Chambers."

"What do you want."

"Alice In Wonderland, High Priestess."

"What?"

Rebecca walked away from Claire who had fallen asleep on the table. Walking out of the library it had started raining all of a sudden,* How fitting.* Rebecca calmly walked in the rain and got in her car and drove home.

Claire woke up in the library but it was different. It was all foggy, most of the shelves were destroyed and only the table she was in was normal. Claire got up and the table destroyed itself the moment she stood up.

"Ok, what is going on here?"

Leaving the library but it wasn't Raccoon City Library, it was Silent Hill Public Library.

"IT'S THE DEMON!"

"GET HER!"

Claire took off running, but only got a few blocks before being surrounded on a street by people in gas masks calling her a demon.

Claire curled up into a ball right there and yelled," SHUT UP." She yelled it so many times once she heard nothing looking up the town was greatly different, the road was now all destroyed as though it had been bombed, the sky was red now instead of the white with blue hints it was. Looking around a bit more, a monster was where some of the gas-masked people were but now they were dead and so was the girl from her dream from only last night,

"It seems you're back already."

"Where am I? Who the hell are you? What the hell is that thing?"

"Your home Claire, or Hazel, or Heather, or Mary, or Alessa."

"How do you know all that?"

"I told you this last night. We are one in the same you are me and I am you."

"No, I am me and you are you. Now that the hell is that thing."

"It's not a thing, Pyramid Head is your protector and he will be your guide."

"Go to hell." Claire took off running before the girl could answer her and get to an alleyway. Claire climbed over the end of the alleyway and blanched herself on it and made her way to what looked like a hospital that was untouched by whatever was going on in this town. Going inside the door was almost sealed shut and the outside was a lie, the inside looked worse than what the streets looked like.

*Is someone crying?* Claire thought to herself after hearing a muffled sound that sounded like a person crying. Going down to the basement of the hospital the crying was more clear and the basement was the worst with the flood dark red where everywhere else it was a shade of red. Going further until the cries were a bit louder," Hello?"

The crying didn't stop. Going to where the cries were, they were coming from behind a door," Hello?" Claire asked quietly, opening the door revealed a nurse who looked perfectly fine and a bed that was in pieces," Hello?"

Walking over to the bed was a little girl horribly burt seeing it cause Claire to scream out of pure fright and back to the wall it felt oddly sticky.

"Seems you made your own way here."

That girl showed up out of nowhere,

"What is wrong with her?"

"She was treated horribly, and you are her dream of a life."

"That makes no sense."

"Ellen didn't die from a heart attack."

"You have no right to talk about my mother like that."

"Ellen is not your mother. Alessa is your mother, I am in a sense your sister, and we are all Alessa."

"You're wrong, Ellen is my mother."

"No, Ellen is not your mother." The girl appeared right next to Claire and hugged her.

"Get away from me."

"I am Ellen's killer. But I must admit Ellen and Hunter did a great job raising you."

"Why did you kill her."

"So I could bring you here and learn about yourself."

"Let me go, please."

"I suppose I can let you go, but you're not leaving without me."

"What?"

The girl hugged her again," See you soon in true person."

Claire woke up in the library again but it was normal and people were there without gas masks.

Looking at the clock it was about one in the afternoon, putting her book back and leaving the library. Outside was normal and it looked like it had just rained,

"Crap, I don't know where Chris lives." Claire walked to the park and sat on one of the swings,* What did she mean I wasn't leaving without her? And 'see you soon in person?* Claire was lost in thought and didn't realize Jill was sneaking up on her," Boo!"

"You're not scary."

Jill rolled her eyes," Want a ride to Chris's house? I know where he lives."

"Sure."

"Hey, are you ok? You seem sick almost."

"I'm fine, just not feeling it anymore today."

"Well then come on. You need some rest, things have been crazy this last week."

"How has it been crazy?"

"Well, Christmas is next week. Fun for everyone not for us."

"Is it like this every year?"

"Yeah, kind of it's a bit tamer this year. Also, Barry usually invites all of S.T.A.R.S for a Christmas barbecue at his house. Maybe you should go over it's mostly going to be Barry, his wife, Moira who's about 4-5, and Polly who's learning to walk. Chris, Forest, Bard those three cause the most problems, Enrico and his wife come over every now and then, Me and that's about it."

"What about your captain?"

"He just calls to make sure we are all alive."

"Why."

"Ok so one year Frost was making some jokes and they were not appropriate, so Moira thought they were funny cause we all laughed. Well, she repeated it Barry and Chris put Frost in the hospital."

"Dang, also aren't barbecues more summer and fourth of July cooking?"

"Well, meats a bit cheaper since hunting seasons are over and hunters give leftover meat to the market. So Barry just has a barbecue."

Claire nodded as Jill pulled into a house that was fairly neat from the outside," This is Chris's house. See you at Barry's next week?"

"Maybe."

Claire got out of the car and went to the front door and before she could knock Chris opened the door and gave her a bear hug.

"Can you let me go?"

"Yeah just don't do that again."

Claire nodded,

"Spare bedrooms upstairs on the right."

Claire went upstairs to the bedroom and layed down on the bed before her back started to be in pain," Ow."

Leaving to the bathroom Claire looked at where the pain was coming from and it was a dark red bruise," What the."

Touching the bruise it was sticky like the wall from the hospital room and it looked like it was slowly growing and her arm started hurting along with her ribs. Looking at both of them was smaller red bruises and they were both sticky, looking back at her hands were some of whatever substance those bruises had should be on her hands, but they were clean.

Claire walked back to the bedroom and fell asleep not even caring about the pain the red bruises were causing.
