The Hangmen, using their hand on the other side, started to move across the
ceiling. Rachel took a good aim and fired her shotgun. It hit one of the
Hangmen which rocked back and forth. It gave a growl. The other is already
above Rachel. Pythagoras drove his stake into the Hangmen which also rocked
back and forth.
"Concentrate on one", said Pythagoras. Rachel nodded in agreement.
Pythagoras had the urge to remove his helmet and kill the two Hangmen but he was afraid Rachel might get frightened. She hasn't seen Pythagoras without his helmet before.
Rachel fired another shot at the Hangmen she targeted. The hanging bed rocked again and growled. This is too easy thought Rachel. She fired another shot. This time, the Hangmen coughed out blood.
Pythagoras just held his position and waited for the Hangmen to move above him. The Hangmen used its feet and grab Pythagoras by his neck. Pythagoras was expecting this. The Hangmen's lips drew apart and bare its huge teeth before Pythagoras drove his wooden stake through it. The Hangmen released Pythagoras and started to struggle due to the intense pain. The stake was still impaled in it. The Hangmen starts to gurgle the blood in its mouth. More blood spilled out as it lifted its feet into a ninety degree position and stayed very still.
Rachel, on the other hand was still strafing and shooting her Hangmen. Shoot, pump, shoot, pump, shoot, pump. Four to five shots later, the Hangmen did the same as the one which got killed by Pythagoras. Rachel smiled at her kill. It was so easy! Unfortunately, both of them didn't notice the third one slipping down from the ceiling.
Rachel turned to Pythagoras. "How's that?" she asked.
"Not bad for a beginner", Pythagoras replied.
"You're just jealous my opponent's easier than yours," Rachel laughed. The Hangmen suddenly stretched its legs and grabbed Rachel by her neck. Rachel dropped her shotgun and clutched the Hangmen's feet with her hands. As she was being grabbed by her neck from above, Rachel could only look up. The Hangmen's lips split revealing its teeth. Rachel suddenly felt fear all over her.
"Pytha...He..lp..", Rachel managed to choke out.
Pythagoras just stood there.
"Pythagoras...", Rachel's tears starts to roll down her face. The pain was terribly intense. The Hangmen's teeth were extremely close to her face.
Pythagoras took the stake out of the impaled Hangmen and raised it over his shoulder. He took aim and threw it. Pythagoras threw it with so much force, the stake acted like a high velocity bullet. The stake penetrated the Hangmen, leaving a huge hole in its body. Innards and blood splattered on the wall as the stake was driven into it. The Hangmen breathed its last before letting Rachel go.
Rachel fell to the floor rubbing her neck.
"What took you so long!? I was almost killed!" Rachel snapped.
"I thought you would like to handle this yourself. I don't like to interfere with other's fight," Pythagoras replied.
"Interfere? Then why the heck did you even bother to kill the Straight Jackets for me back there? I could have fought them on my own." "I was hungry," Pythagoras answered.
Rachel was speechless. I was saved because Pythagoras was hungry? She thought.
The room suddenly seemed to spin. Darkness covered the two monsters. Rachel felt dizzy. When the darkness had cleared, Pythagoras and Rachel found themselves outside the hospital. They were outside the foggy streets of Silent Hill.
"Where are we?" Rachel asked and looked around "It seems that we are on the other side of the hospital."
It didn't take long for Pythagoras to realize that they were in the parking lot. There were no cars but an ambulance parked in an awkward manner. The strangest thing about the parking lot is that there was no entrance or an exit. So, how did the ambulance get in? There was a fence that blocked the parking lot from the main road.
"I'm going to check the ambulance, want to come along?" Rachel asked.
Shouldn't I be the one asking, Pythagoras thought. But he just started walking towards the ambulance.
As they approached the vehicle, it starts to vibrate violently as if something was trying to get out.
"What's that?"
Pythagoras tilted his head a little to the left and stared at the ambulance before walking towards it. He went to the back and reached for the handle and pulled the door open. There was nothing. Pythagoras got in and searched. The ambulance was in a mess. Equipment was scattered everywhere and there were also blood stain. Pythagoras knelt down on one knee and used his fingers to brush against the blood. He tasted it. The blood was still fresh. Someone or something had been killed.
Pythagoras sensed danger. He got out quickly got out off the ambulance and called for Rachel.
"Rachel, get here quick!" As soon as he said it, a car burst through the fence. It drove towards Rachel who managed to get out of the way. The car turned to face them both.
The car was stained brown like all other creatures in Silent Hill. It doesn't have a roof so the driver was there for all to see. The driver seems to look like a Straight Jacket sewn to the seat. There was something at the hood. Rachel squinted to found that it was a Mannequin. The 'car' was chewing it. In fact, the car seems alive. The driver squirmed as if in pain. The car had swallowed the struggling Mannequin down the hood which seems to be its mouth. There was a sound coming from the hood. It's as if something has been sent into a grinding machine. "Rachel, start the vehicle. I will delay it", Pythagoras ordered.
Rachel without hesitation got into the driver's seat and started to search for the key. Pythagoras, on the other hand, went towards the car.
I have never seen anything like this. What are they? Pythagoras thought. All along he thought he had seen everything in Silent Hill. This was different.
The car went full throttle and the mouth opened wide. Pythagoras readied his stake. The car was only inches away from him. Pythagoras lowered his stake and at the right moment drove it through the car from underneath. The stake was now stuck in its mouth with the sharp edge pointed up. The car reversed and started to shriek in pain. Blood began to pour out like a fountain.
The sound the ambulance's engine brought Pythagoras' attention to it.
"Get it!" shouted Rachel.
Pythagoras wasted no time and started to walk quickly. He very much wanted to remove his heavy head so that he could run or kill the car monster but this wasn't the time.
Pythagoras got into the back of the truck. Rachel stepped on the acceleration and the ambulance started to move. She reversed it and made it faced the broken fence.
Rachel looked back at Pythagoras and smiled. "Hang on," she said
Hang on? Pythagoras thought. To what?
Rachel switched gears and sped towards the fence. That made Pythagoras lost his balance and fell. The ambulance crashed through the fence and was on the main road.
The car rose on its hind wheels and slammed down on the ground. The wooden stake shot upwards into the air and landed a few feet beside it. The car's engine growled before it drove though the fence and gave chase.
"Concentrate on one", said Pythagoras. Rachel nodded in agreement.
Pythagoras had the urge to remove his helmet and kill the two Hangmen but he was afraid Rachel might get frightened. She hasn't seen Pythagoras without his helmet before.
Rachel fired another shot at the Hangmen she targeted. The hanging bed rocked again and growled. This is too easy thought Rachel. She fired another shot. This time, the Hangmen coughed out blood.
