Chapter 4: First fight with the Executioner

She only had a shirt, but she still had her socks and shoes, as well as her gun and a map of the town, but no bullets... Except for the remaining bullets in the gun.

She just remembered, her bullets would still be inside the apartment building, but strangely there was no way to get back, She was now in a very old looking building that was next to the apartments.

She was in a bedroom, it had nothing but a bed and two tables with a broken lamp, and a closet... from which she could hear the meowing of a cat, she walked over and opened the closet door without thinking, when suddenly she could see glowing red eyes, then a black cat jumped out and slashed her across the cheek, She began bleeding instantly and rose a hand to hold her cheek as it stung from pain, "Ouch, Darn cat!" she yelled as she watched the cat run down the hall, She followed.

A little bit down the hall was a bathroom, which she entered and looked into the mirror, to see her face kind of dirty and bleeding, "I came to this town for nothing.." she sighed a bit when something from the toilet caught her eye, (Author note: NOT a floater, mind you =P), something shiny, and the toiler water was disgusting but she put her hand in anyway, and quickly pulled it out, She felt something grab her hand, but she had grabbed something, A box of bullets, Strangely this box had numbers written on it, She shrugged and exited the bathroom.

Continuing down the hall, She came upon a big room, to the far corner was an empty kitchen, but to the right of where she was standing, was a safe, She decided to try those numbers that were on the bullet box, and sure enough it worked, the safe opened to reveal some shotgun shells, and 2 medals, she took everything, and underneath it all was a paper, she picked it up and it read;

"Blinded by rage, Blinded by sadness, Selfish as to sacrifice another, why? It was out of love that the sacrificed agreed to be scarified, Live up to your mistakes, Go away, Leave this place"

Those words, made her shutter... It was like someone had knew what she'd done, and wrote it down, "This... couldn't possibly be... from my brother? No..." She shook her head refusing to believe it, After checking the kitchen to find a heath drink, she left the apartment.

She was now in a long hall, there was a clicking noise, and suddenly she received a bite to her ankle, looking down she screamed as she saw a cockroach, and quickly stepped on it over and over till it was dead, leaving a bit of blood on the bottom of her shoe, But in this hall there were two ways to go, left, right; Left seemed to be a dead end, So she went right, and found a laundry room, next to it was a door to the stairs, which she entered, figuring it would be best to get to the bottom floor of the building so she could get out. The stairs were dark, she didn't have her flashlight anymore and it was quite scary trying not to fall, trying to see if there was any monsters about, but as she felt around with her hands, she felt the stairs end, and she was on the bottom floor, she began to search for the door.

He could see her, smell her; he could see that she was unaware of his presence, If he had any lips; they would be grinning madly, His hand clenching the hilt of his sword even tighter in anticipation, The desire to pierce new flesh was great for him, and she was foolishly drawing closer to him, closer to her doom.

She felt around the walls, feeling for a door handle of some sort as her fear grew, she didn't like being in the dark, and at least in the hallway there was some dim light, but suddenly she slammed into something, it felt cold, and she could feel it breathing... Suddenly like light from heaven, a light turned on from the ceiling, only to reveal a nightmare, she was standing directly next to The Pyramid head, she stepped back as he turned to face her, He began to raise his sword up over his head, a direct kill... If he would've hit, but she ran back and held out her gun, aimed, and fired till the gun was empty, Pyramid head took the bullets as if they were nothing, but he was drawing closer to where she stood, and he began to raise his sword up again to slash her at an angle, but she managed to run around him to the other end of the small room, In the corner she noticed a pipe, and figuring how slow he is when pulling that sword, she grabbed the pipe and ran up to him,
hitting him on his pyramid shaped head as he raised his sword up, the hit to his head made him growl but he still slashed down with his sword, Luckily she dodged by running behind him and again hitting him in the head with the pipe, She repeated this process up until he roared and began to retreat up the stairs, he dropped something though and she went to inspect it. It was another medal, now she had 3, and was free to exit the stairway, which she did.

She was in another hallway, and to her left she could see the exit... but it was locked, a big bar across the door with an imprint in it, of a shotgun, "Locked?! No! I can't go back upstairs with that THING!" she yelled, then she began to search the other rooms, All of them were locked, but one, in which she found a wooden stand of some sort, 3 circles in it, She placed the medals in the circles, and viola, the wooden stand opened, to reveal a shotgun "Whoa..." Slowly she picked up the shotgun, "Guess I use it on the other door..", She exited the room and placed the shotgun in the imprint, and the bar fell off... leaving the door unlocked, She jumped back startled from the bar falling, then she grabbed the shotgun and exited.

After looking at the map she started running down the street, the fog had let up a bit, but she was freezing as snow began to fall, a light blanket covering the town, "God... I'm gonna die!" she thought, and continued running; "I gotta get to the bowling alley". It was about 15 minutes of running; she was freezing and almost couldn't feel her feet and hands, when finally she spotted the street with the bowling alley on it, she began to run down the street as fast as she could, finally arriving at the bowling alley, she went inside.
