Silent Hill: Fear of Blood
Part Three
~*~
She walked in the streets of Silent Hill armed with nothing but a steel pipe. Halley did not encounter anything or anyone on the way.
I'm walking around a town of sort that has monsters and people gone mad armed with nothing but a steel pipe looking for my sister, my brother and my cousin. In my purse, I have Andy's diary, or random parts of it…
She walked some more until she reached a truck, a truck that belonged to a dog catcher. Halley examined the car and searched for something that would help her out on her small journey. She found a key that was labeled 'Old Man's Key', shrugging she took the key and put in her purse.
Suddenly, the radio in her pocket started to buzz.
"Oh no…" Halley said out loud and then quickly shut up. She looked to her right and then to her left. There was nothing. Maybe this broken radio buzzes because it's broken…
BARK!
Halley screamed as a dog-like creature jumped on her. She swung the steel pipe and hit the dog-like creature. She quickly got up and ran away.
No wonder this town is deserted! It's full of monsters!
Halley reached "Louis McGrath's Road" just as the sun was setting. Remembering what Gabriel said, she didn't want to stay in the streets after sunset. She continued to walk forward until she reached a small tavern.

"Geez, why won't these things work normally?"
"Maybe if you put some money into them, they would work!"
"But…I have no money!"
"Here…these are 25 cents. Hope you do something with them."
The door to the tavern opened and a tall blond woman came out. She was wearing a short black mini skirt and a green tank top. She was holding a cigarette in her hands. Halley only stared.
The women threw the cigarette away and cursed under her breath and then she looked at her. "What? What are you looking at?"
Halley knew that staring wasn't the nicest thing to do, but it was just…odd.
"Hello! Hello! Miss?" The woman shook her head, "That's it. I'm out of this town." She turned around and left.
Halley finally snapped out of her trance, but by the time she did, the woman was nowhere to be seen. Shrugging, she opened the door to the tavern and went in.

"This stupid machine won't work!" A middle-ages fat man with dirty brown hair hit the pinball machine with all his might. The pinball machine's glass broke. "Oh shit!" He cursed.
Halley watched from the other side of the tavern as the man continued to curse and hold his hand trying to get the pieces of glass out of it. If only Erin was here, she's the only one studying this medical crap.
After numerous attempts, the man finally got the pieces
of glass out of his hand, and then he noticed the young woman standing in front
of the door.
"What are you?"
Maybe it was the way he asked that? Or was it the look? Oh, it was the wording, right? Halley didn't know, but she certainly did not like the question.
"I-I-I a-am h-h-huma-n!" She answered.
The man fell laughing, "I'm sorry. It's just that this town's full of weird things you can't see the difference between a human and a monster!" He stopped laughing, walked over to where she was standing and extended his hand, "My name is Greg." Halley didn't shake his hand and instead, she only stared at it. "What? Is it the blood? Are you scared of blood, miss?" He asked grinning.
Halley continued to stare at his bloody hand, "How…how can you stay like that? Don't you know that if you don't wash your hand soon you'll get inflicted with a virus and then…die?"
The man laughed again, "Of course I know this shit! Who doesn't? Anyway, what is your name?"
"Why do you want to know my name?"
The man grinned at her, "You still act like momma's little girl? I told you my name, I want you to tell me your name or else I'll be forced to beat you into a bloody mess! "Halley's eyes widened in horror; the man laughed, "I'm kidding! Relax. I'm not some bloody murderer!"
Halley swallowed, "My name is…Halley Foster." She said softly.
Greg smiled at her, "Finally! Well, since you told me your last time I think it won't hurt to tell you mine. I'm Gregory Spencer. I'm not from around here, the reason I came here was because my wife, who just left, wanted to visit her family." Halley just stared at him. "Jeez, don't you talk?" He sighed, "Fine! I'll leave you alone here." He turned around to leave and then suddenly stopped, "Wait, do you have a weapon?" She held out her steel pipe. The man laughed and threw at her a loaded hand gun, "Here catch!" She caught it. "I hope you know how to use that." And then he left…laughing.
Dude…this place is bloody scary!

Night has fallen in the small town of Silent Hill. Halley Foster sat in front of the bar in the tavern.
She sighed as she held a small empty glass, "What have I gotten myself into?" She whispered to herself. "All I wanted was a nice vacation with my cousin and sister…and suddenly, we're trapped in hell!" She placed the empty glass on the counter and buried her head in her hands. Andy…
The radio started to buzz.
Quickly, Halley got up and drew the gun. "Who's there?" She said out loud.
There was no answer.
She looked to her right and then to her left and still, there was no one, "WHO IS THERE?!"
Silence…
Her heart started to beat faster and faster and she started to sweat. She put her left hand on the counter where some napkins were and then started to dry her face from sweat. After she did that, she placed the napkin back on the counter, but she still felt some kind of liquid run down her face. She placed her hand on her forehead and then looked at it again…
She saw blood.
Her eyes widened and her breathing came fast. Her heart beat faster and faster until she thought it would burst. Everything around her seemed to be going round and round. More blood ran down her face until it reached her shirt. The counter was full of it as well. She was just about to pull the trigger when suddenly…the lights went out.
"Oh dear…"
