Cybil tried to ignore her slightly overeager and over-enthusiastic companion and tried to sort her way through her muddled up thoughts, everything seemed to be happening at once. Whatever the fuck that creature was it was likely there were a lot more of them and chances are there were probably more dangerous ones. The next thing, why was she mad at Darrell? She was being tight on the poor kid, it wasn't her fault that Cybil was stressed, plus it wasn't Darrell's fault that Cybil had feelings for the girl.
"Cybil?", Darrell started nervously. Cybil glanced over at the girl, surprised at the miserable look on her face.
"W...wh...I mean what did I do...you've n...never been this mad at me before", Darrell mumbled looking at the floor, she looked utterly depressed.
"It's not your problem kid, I've just had a really shitty day", Cybil explained.
Darrell didn't look convinced but fell silent. Cybil glanced around, Silent Hill looked sort of freaky in the fog and snow, the only other time she'd been here was when it was sunny, Cybil shivered at the atmosphere. Then she noticed a red jeep, the one she had passed earlier, she was about to comment on it when Darrell spoke up.
"Hey C...Cybil it's gettin' sorta dark", Darrell stammered. Cybil tried to find a pocket light or anything but she uncovered nothing.
"Dammit", she growled. A scream echoed down the street. Cybil took off towards it, Darrell close on her heels. Darrell, being African born and breed and had lived in Africa until she was 15, could actually see in the dark. 'Running from the cheetahs in the dark' Cybil had often joked.
Hearing the screams again Cybil dodged down an alley way. A skinless dog lunged at her, Cybil dodged quickly, Darrell only realising what she was doing at the last second and having to dive and roll to the side.
"You go save that screamer I'll play with the doggy", Darrell ordered. Cybil reluctantly nodded and ran off towards the constant screaming. She felt like a deserter, like she should have stayed with Darrell, what if the dog got the better of her? She opened the creaking gate and stepped on some dead, bloodied flesh.
"Yaah!", Cybil yelled in horror, she crouched down and looked at it, swallowing her nausea. She shook her head and began to jog down the narrow, twisting alley way. A creature which looked like some mutated kid out of a horror movie waddled down the alleyway. Cybil backed off slightly and unholstered her gun.
She placed two bullets in it's head with pin point accuracy. It squirmed a little before dying, Cybil hesitated, wondering if she should examine the creature. But the screaming changed her mind, if she stopped for too long the person screaming would be dead. It was definitely a bloke screaming, weren't they meant to be the stronger sex? Cybil made her way cautiously past some pools of blood and took down 3 more of the 'kiddy' monsters. Her heart stopped, her stomach lurched and her blood ran cold at the gruesome corpse strung up on the barb wire. Backing away she spotted a man, lain face down on the floor. After checking him over Cybil recognized him as the man in the red car, he was alive and had only sustained a bruise on his head, the coward had probably fainted. Cybil lifted him up to carry him out of harms way, she felt her legs start to give already.
"Bloody hell!", Cybil muttered, this man was no light weight.
Cybil managed to make it back to Darrell without collapsing or falling over. To her surprise the creatures she had killed had vanished, there weren't even blood stains. She kicked the gate open and leant the guy against a garage before looking around. Darrell had killed the dog, and had dumped it's corpse in a nearby dustbin. Darrell was sat on the floor, leant against a bloodstained garage door it was obvious she'd been hurt in the fight.
"Hey kid you alright?", Cybil asked. Darrell pushed herself to her feet and went over to Cybil, clasping her hand over her stomach.
"The bastards dead if that's what you mean, he was one mean mother fucker", Darrell replied, she lost her footing and stumbled, Cybil reached out and caught her.
"You're hurt", Cybil commented.
"Yeah sorta but I'll live, what you gonna do with him?", Darrell asked pointing at the man.
"Find a safe place for him", Cybil shrugged, "We can't do anything with him in tow".
"There was some cafe place that wasn't broke up or anything, it was just by the corner...I think", Darrell suggested. Cybil lifted the guy up again.
"He could stand to lose a couple of pounds", Cybil commented, her knees again buckling under the man's weight. Despite Cybil's constant offers to help, Darrell held her own and forced her body to hold up until they got to the cafe. Cybil glanced over and her heart ached to help the stubborn 18 year old. Darrell glanced up and caught Cybil watching her, her eyes flooded with confusion. Blushing slightly Cybil looked away. She was getting careless. They carried on walking in silence.
