Chapter 7: Eddie
"Where do we go from here?" Michelle asked, Her and Eddie were standing in a hall, full of doors; they were pretty much lost, Eddie shrugged "Dunno, maybe we should split up an' check all the rooms" he suggested, Slowly she nodded, thinking it'd be alright since they both have weapons with which to protect themselves, "I'll go this way" Michelle started heading to the left, "That leaves me with this way, Right" Eddie headed down the right hall.
Again she was alone, but she had strangely gotten used to this crazy town, she just hoped she wouldn't see that Pyramid Head monster again. She started walking further along, till when she turned back, She could no longer see Eddie, so she kept going, Checking all the rooms and everything, A little while later when finished, she took the elevator down a floor, and began to check all the rooms again, finding nothing but a few shotgun shells, some health drinks... "Man this place is totally empty... I doubt my brother's here either" she sighed a bit, and continued searching. On another floor down and 20 minutes later, she reached a walkway with two halls, a large one heading down and to the right, and another one continuing straight forward, She decided to check out the one to the right, and started walking down that hall.
Upon reaching the end of the hall, two doors were there, they had windows to look through but the glass was dirty, so slowly she entered, to find a dimly lit kitchen, She could hear some noises, a couple grunts and mumbling, and when she looked over, there was Eddie digging in the fridge
"Hey Eddie... Did you find anything?" she asked
"Yeah, I found this fridge, and some green haired jerk..." he mumbled
"Green haired jerk?! That must've been my brother!" she replied
"That son of a bitch?!" Eddie yelled in reply
"Gah... Calm down! What happened between You and him?!" asked, becoming a bit scared at his tone of voice
"That asshole... I found him in a room, He doesn't even know me and he starts talking SHIT, Calling me fat and disgusting, ugly and stupid..." Eddie started rambling on, getting angrier by the word
"...My brother would never talk like that" she replied
"Yeah well he fuckin' did... After that I yelled at him.... He got scared and ran.... Loser" Eddie finished
"Jeez... Some help you are, Eddie" Michelle sighed
"What? I ain't paid to help your ass" Eddie replied
"So it was about money all this time?" she asked
"No... Just, shut up, You're annoying me" Eddie answered
"Well you aren't the nicest person to be around" she replied
"...Bitch!" Eddie got up and looked at her, he had a look in his eye like she had never seen before
"I'll kill you too" Eddie pointed his gun at her
"Eddie, this isn't you, Stop this! Calm down! Just put the gun down!" Michelle was scared
Suddenly a voice from no where yelled "GET DOWN!", Michelle tried to turn her head but before she could, she was tackled down to the ground and a gun was shot, "Agh!" she yelled as her face met the floor, She could hear Eddie yelling out in pain, "Aaaaagghhh!!" he yelled out deeply and his voice was still full of anger, Soon Michelle felt the weight on top of her move, so she got up and was standing face to face with her brother, "Brother!" she yelled happily, He lightly hugged her, then let go to look at Eddie holding his bleeding chest, "Fucker... THAT FRICKEN' HURT!" Eddie yelled, his voice wasn't so angry as he was calming down a bit, "Eddie, You were trying to kill me..." Michelle replied, "But... but... I....." Eddie's voice was more calm, like the normal Eddie, "Brother is it true that you called him names?" she asked, Her brother shook his head "No... I saw him, but he was talking some crazy things... I decided to run before he tried anything" he answered her, Eddie
was holding himself up on a table, slowly he fell to his knees "Ugh... Damn this... damn this town", He fell over with a thud, "Eddie?!" Michelle yelled and ran over to him, Her brother just watched in slight confusion, She shook Eddie repeatedly "Eddie wake up!" she rolled him onto his back, he was still bleeding, but still alive, the shot didn't hit any vital organs, just wounded him pretty bad, Eddie's eyes slowly opened, "What the hell... are you doing?" he asked, feeling heavy remorse that he almost killed another, but he couldn't help himself, "I did, murder my friend... It wasn't self defense, I've been lying to myself" he coughed, Michelle slightly smirked "I... thought so...", Eddie sighed "I ain't fit for livin' this world don't need a psycho like me... ", She lightly smacked him and opened his mouth, pouring a couple health drinks down his throat, He coughed up some but swallowed, "I found this earlier..." Michelle's brother walked up and handed her a first aid
kit, "The wound ain't too bad" he spoke, Michelle nodded and began working on Eddie's wound, Leaving Eddie wandering, Why were they doing this, He tried to kill her but she was still helping him, He knew the truth about everything, about himself and this town, He didn't want to accept the truth, he wanted to go on killing, or did he? Everything was confusing at this moment; he closed his eyes and tried to clear his thoughts...
"Why are they doing this?"
"I could've killed her..."
"Like I've killed so many before"
"Maybe I am just a disgusting piece of shit"
"But... Death doesn't solve anything"
"Other peoples' death..."
"Mine would solve everything"
"I don't want to feel this anymore"
"The truth, I won't... accept it"
"But it's haunting me"
"It's laughing at me... Making fun of me..."
"Cause... I won't accept it.. That's why...."
"It's all my fault"
"But I'll... kill them anyway"
"No..."
"Yes..."
"Get out of my head"
"Bastard!"
"Shut up..."
"Eddie..? Eddie?... Eddie!"
He could hear a faint call
"Eddie please wake up"
Again he could hear someone speak his name, and slowly he opened his eyes.
He could see Michelle sitting next to him, they were still in the kitchen, as he looked down he could see his chest bandaged up, the blood had stopped, And he didn't feel too light headed.
"Um, Sorry..." he spoke
"Yeah... It's okay" she replied
All the while Michelle's brother Michael stood there, with a brow perked, wondering just what did the two have going on.
Slowly Eddie sat up with a hand held to his forehead, "Can you walk?" Michelle asked, "Yeah.. I think so..." Eddie answered her than stood up, He grabbed his shirt from the table next to him, "Ok... Then we should find a way out of here" She suggested, Michael nodded "Yeah" and started back towards the door, to find it.. was locked? How? There was no lock on the door! Something... Must be keeping it shut from the... Other side... "Damn, The door's locked" Michael walked back over, "Well um, There's the stairs over there" Eddie pointed, and they all walked out, going down the stairs.
"Where do we go from here?" Michelle asked, Her and Eddie were standing in a hall, full of doors; they were pretty much lost, Eddie shrugged "Dunno, maybe we should split up an' check all the rooms" he suggested, Slowly she nodded, thinking it'd be alright since they both have weapons with which to protect themselves, "I'll go this way" Michelle started heading to the left, "That leaves me with this way, Right" Eddie headed down the right hall.
