Chapter 13

(The arena's light suddenly dims, but doesn't go out completely. Monk stands still in fear.)
Monk: (Yelling)
Hello? Is...anyone around...here?
(Monk looks up, where he fell from. The hole he went through is no longer there. Just a complete ceiling. Instead of dwelling the odd mystery, he just goes to staring at the balcony. Now, there's a shadow figure standing up there. This one isn't like all the others. This one has a pyramid shaped head.)
Monk: (Shocked)
Oh...
Pyramid head: (Stretched out)
Mmmmoonnnkkk.
Monk:
W-What do you want?
Pyramid head:
Dddeeeaattthhh.
(The Pyramid head jumps down and lands three feet from Monk. He reaches slowly behind him and pulls out a spear. The pyramid head limps towards Monk, but Monk backs up, making it more difficult for the monster to catch up. Monk notices the Pyramid head cannot walk correctly, so he choses to take this for advantage.)
Monk:
I-I just want to go.
Pyramid:
Yyoouu Maayy neevveerr leaaveee.
(Monk looks up at the balcony and devises a plan, as he continues to back up. Eventually, he ends up with his back against the wall. Monk thinks up a nice little plan. He slides across the wall and then runs behind the pyramid head and runs to the other end of the arena. Now the Pyramid head has to walk across the arena again.)
Monk: (Thinking to himself)
I have no idea why I didn't think of that in the first place.
(Running out of ideas, Monk slides himself across the wall, until he suddenly notices a hollow sound on the floor.)
Monk: (To himself)
Thank God.
(He stomps on the floor and falls through all the way to the first floor. He lands on his back and blacks out for a good thirty minutes.
Once he wakes up, he directs his attention to the ceiling, which doesn't have a hole from where he fell through. Groaning, he lifts himself off the floor. Immediately, he notices a staircase on the other side of the room. The staircase is on fire, and standing at the foot of the stairs, is Angela.)
Monk: (Screaming)
Angela!
(Angela turns around and notices Monk. She gets excited and rushes to Monk and gives him a hug.)
Angela: (Happy)
Oh! Michelle! People told me you were dead. I even went to your grave...I knew you weren't dead. I just knew it.
Monk:
W-what are you talking about?
(Angela pulls away from Monk.)
Angela:
You're not Michelle.
Monk:
I'm Monk. Adrian Monk. Remember?
(Angela blinks several times, and then backs off back to the staircase.)
Angela:
I'm so sorry...
Monk: (Slightly yelling)
Please! Step away from the staircase. It's not safe. It's burning...
(Angela turns to the staircase, without looking back.)
Angela:
You see it too, huh?
(Turns back to Monk)
For me...it's ALWAYS like this.
(She turns around and starts walking up the stairs, leaving Monk alone.)
Monk: (To himself)
That was odd...
(Monk turns to the hallway, and there is a clear EXIT sign hanging above a door. Monk makes a run for it. As he is running down the hallway, he hears Trudy's voice in the echoes.)
Trudy: (Voice)
Adrian...don't you love it here? So peaceful. So quiet.
Monk: (Voice in the hallways)
I do. I love it.
(Monk stops dead in his tracks.)
Monk: (Whispering to himself)
Holy--
Trudy: (Voice)
Adrian...promise me something.
Monk: (Voice)
Anything.
(Monk covers his ears and continues to run down the hallway.)
Trudy: (Voice)
Someday...bring me back here; to Silent Hill.
Monk: (Voice)
I promise.
(Echoes)
I promise...
(Monk quickly opens the door and runs out into the cold open space. Monk finds himself in the backyard of the Lakeside Hotel. The voices can no longer be heard. Monk walks over to a bench and sits down, depressingly.)
Monk: (To himself)
I never got to bring her back...
(Monk begins to cry.)
