Chapter 4: Mixed feelings
**flashback**
Marik walked through the hallway and into Ishizu's hospital room, hoping that she was feeling better. He was carry a bouquet of flowers in his hand with a "Get Well." card in his other hand. He then got to a room that said, "Room 17." on the wooden wall, he then opened the door and saw his sister resting on a hospital bed dressed in a white hospital gown.
"Ishizu, I brought you some-" He then cut off when Ishizu snapped at him.
"I don't want your damn flowers Marik." She snapped.
Marik stood silent, he had never been snapped at by his own sister before and he was trying to make her feel better.
"I'm just trying to make you happy." He said sadly.
"I already told you that I don't need your sympathy so just go away." Ishizu snapped again and started coughing, Marik rushed to her aid.
"Calm down sister." He told her.
She then slapped him and he fell to the floor and he got back up on his feet.
"I told you to go away you bastard." Ishizu snapped again. Marik then grabbed the bouquet (or what was left of it) that fell on the floor and he walked off and left, the sounds of his sister's sobs were heard.
**end flashback**
Marik eyes opened up.
"W-where am I?" He thought as his eyes fully opened to the area he was now in. He looked at his arm and noticed that it was bandaged and his vest was laid neatly on a rusted chair with his gun, which was a 9mm pistol. He then saw the same girl from the previous chapter enter the room.
"Good morning and how is my patient feeling?" She asked jokingly. Her hair was jet black and it touched her shoulders and her eyes were a greenish blue. Her clothes consisted of a white shirt that was stained in blood (possibly from some of the demons in SH), a pair of black bondage jeans with a chain hooked on the belt loop and the other end of the chain hooked on another belt loop. She also had two spiked bracelets and a choker to match and to finish her outfit, she was also wearing black steel toed boots and she had a sweater tied around her waist. Yep, that's right, she was goth.
"My head hurts from that fight, what happened?" Marik asked.
"Let's see, you were attacked by that red pyramid thing and he sure seemed to kick your ass pretty badly. Good thing I got you out of there just in time" She answered.
He then remembered everything, including the voice that was in his head, he began to wonder about Pyramid Head. Who was he and what did he want with Marik? However, what really worried him was Ishizu's safety, but he wasn't certain if she was actually "alive" or not.
"Where did that red pyramid thing go?" Marik asked.
"He'll be back, that thing has been after me and my little bro for hours. I was just glad you came along or I would be done for." She told him.
"I guess we'll have to find him umm.." his voice trailed off since he didn't know the girl's name.
"Oh, my name's Aya and you are?" She asked.
"My name is Marik." He answered.
Aya nodded slightly and she slid her hooded sweatshirt on and grabbed a gun that she had been keeping in the pocket of her jeans.
"Are you part of some gang or something?" Marik asked, looking at her outfit. She looked quite a lot like Ishizu, except for the style of clothes.
"No Marik, I'm not part of a gang. It's fuckin' cold out there." Aya answered and she and Marik proceeded to leave the apartment room and they left the apartment.
The streets had gotten foggier and to make matters worse, it was now night, meaning that any of those demons that they ran into would kill them or even worse, Pyramid Head would meet up with them.
"So where are we suppose to be heading?" Aya asked.
"First, we need to find a place to stay for-" Marik was then cut off from his sentence when the radio he kept with them went off, giving off more static then the last time. Ishizu's voice was on it again.
"Marik.....go.....to....the...brookhaven......." It then stopped.
Marik cursed himself lightly again and he kicked at the ground, frustrated. He wanted to know where to go next, but it was hopeless. He then turned to Aya.
"Aya, you know your way around here, don't you?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't. I'm not even sure how my little brother and I got here. All I know is that we were in a children's hospital and that's just about it." She answered.
Marik then remembered a hospital that Yugi told him about in Silent Hill, it was called the Brookhaven Hospital. That was where a horrible illness took place, there were people vomiting blood violently and dying. He had read about the illness in the newspaper and he never looked at vomiting the same way again for at least two weeks.
"We'll have to go to the Brookhaven Hospital." Marik said.
"But why?" Aya questioned.
"If I want to find my sister there, then we'll have to head there." Marik answered.
"But-" She then cut off by Marik.
"Listen to me! I have brutally punished many people who betrayed me and if you chose to do the same, you're gonna wish I fucked and killed you." Marik snapped. He never usually swore much, but right now, he was worried about his sister.
Aya stood silent and she kept her head down, finally she began to speak up.
"You care more about your sister than other people don't you?" Aya said sadly under her breathe.
"She's....dead." Marik answered.
"I'm sorry." She answered. Then she heard the sound of a sick, childish laughter. Then four creatures appeared out of the fog. They were small and decaying. Not only that, but they were holding rusty, blood stained knives and they were giggling in a childish laughter.
"These things again? What do they want from us?" Marik asked. The first demon walked up to them, but Marik and Aya shot it and it fell to the ground, bleeding and it died. Then the other two appeared and the second one swung at Aya, but she got out of the way and kicked it hard in the head and shot it, she then shot the third one and it fell to the ground. The fourth one just stood there and walked off, not wanting to suffer the same fate as its other comrades.
"You're not getting away that easily.' Marik snapped as he shot it in the head, causing blood to spurt out of the back of its head.
"Nice shot." Aya commented.
"You're not so bad yourself." Marik replied.
They begun to head to the brookhaven hospital. The fog now turned into snow for some reason and Marik shivered as a snowflake touched his bare arms.
"You're starting to feel cold huh? Hang on a second." Aya said as she pulled off her sweatshirt and gave it to Marik.
"Thank you." He replied as he put on the sweatshirt.
Aya didn't respond, but she smiled just a bit. Her smile then faded when the sound of someone walking was heard.
"Who the hell?" Aya asked she looked at the figure and noticed a trail of blood at the figure's feet, meaning that the person was obviously suffering severe trauma. She then ran to the figure, Marik trailed along, knowing that it was a foolish idea.
"Aya, wait a minute." He shouted.
"What?' She asked. Then the creature turned around and saw the 18 year old goth girl a view inches close to him. The demon itself had large, oversized arms and a weird funnel shaped head with a mouth at the end of it, blood was dripping from the mouth.
"H-holy shit." She sputtered and the demon hit her with its large arms, causing her to fall and hit her head on a lamppost with great force. She staggered up and fired a shot into the approaching creature's arm and fired another shot also, but it still didn't help much.
"Marik, don't just stand here, help me." She shouted. The creature then pinned her down and lowered its head to her chest, hearing her heart beating in fear. She then knew that her life would be over. It then moved up to her neck and placed his teeth at it, preparing to snap her head off her shoulders.
Then the creature's head stopped, let go of her and it turned around and approached Marik. He then shot it three times in the head and it fell to the ground, howling in pain.
"Why can't you just leave me alone?" Marik snapped as he stepped on its neck and stomped on it with little remorse, causing the neck to produce a sickening crack.
He moved away from the demon, kicking the bullet shells that were on the ground and he walked up to Aya and helped her up.
"Are you okay?" Marik asked.
"I'm fine," she answered, "why did you save me?"
"You....look like my sister, now pull yourself together. The next time this happens, I'm not going to help you out," Marik answered.
Aya dusted off her jeans and shirt and looked at Marik with sad eyes and she started to cry. Marik wrapped his arms around her.
"I guess....I brought this up on everyone else. Aya, Ishizu, everyone." He thought. He then pushed her away.
"I'd like my sweatshirt back now." She said. Mark pulled the sweatshirt off and handed it back to her and watched her pull it on.
"C'mon, we have to go." Marik said as he and Aya walked off to find the Brookhaven hospital.
