Personal Nightmares
Author's Notes: Sorry for not updating soon, everyone. I had two big essays due this week, but since I'm done with them, expect more updates.
Dark Samarian: Buddy, I will be using your idea in this story. Helena and Leon will be a couple…but not in the way you expect them to be…BUWAHAHAHA!
TigerEyes2: Thanks! There will be many more references for you to find!
Razzbairee: ^____^
Steven Hopkins: You were wowed? Wow. ^_^
LC Wolf: Hitomi's dead. Get over it. But just for you, you'll see her again in the end…buwahahaha! And no, no Ryu for this story. He's too much of a badass to be incorporated into this story.
Wolf Runner: Don't worry. You can yell at me if you want when I get to Ayane's/Kasumi's story…
Dayon: You were correct! What's up with these guys saying "Helena" when I gave some context clues stating that Christie will be next…
AnGel70: Thanks! The first two Silent Hills should be available at very low prices, and I think SH3's price has also lowered. I suggest playing them in order, though. They're all good!!! ^__^
Chapter 5: Death is my Business…and Business is Good…
In another part of town, a white-haired woman can be seen loitering around a bus stop. Her hair is as white as the fog surrounding the area. She was wearing a red sweater and black jeans. She was busy looking at the map of Silent Hill, but paused here and there to relax, and enjoy the quiet atmosphere. Unlike many visitors to this town, she had a very different agenda from the others. "Fog, fog, fuckin' fog. Just like home. The only thing missing is the rain. Well, at least things are quiet here. Interestingly enough, I haven't seen anyone here yet. Well, so much the better. Anything that makes my job easier is good."
Christie then folded the map, and said, "Time to shake off the jet lag. I've got things to do here. First thing to do: look for my contact. He's supposed to be in front of the Creek Apartment. And I'd better walk over there. I've been waiting at this bus stop for half an hour already." She then moved on with her mission, her purpose in life…
After walking for quite some time, she managed to reach the location. "This is it. Now to look for…what was that?" Christie said, as she heard noises nearby. They sounded like crunching noises to the woman, and she moved closer to the source. She was shocked at what she saw.
"What the hell is that?" she said out loud. In front of her, there were two figures. There was a man lying on the ground, bleeding, papers scattered all around him. There was also another man, but despite the thickness of the fog, Christie could see that this was no ordinary man. "What the fuck is that piece of shit? It looks like someone's insides are showing up. Or maybe someone stuck a body bag all over his ass…well, whatever it is, it looks like it's eating that guy's face off."
The figure then turned around, facing the woman, as if it heard her clearly. It had no face, and it looked like its body is under decay. "UWWAHHHHH…" it moaned miserably.
"Back off!" Christie shouted, as she took out her Glock 26, a small and compact handgun that carries 10 9x19mm's cartridges, and pointed it at the monster. The monster kept advancing towards her, and the woman had no choice but to open fire.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
All the shots hit the body-bag monster square on its head, but it kept on moving, undeterred by the hits. Again Christie opened up.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
This time, the monster seemed to slow down, and finally, the monster fell to the ground with a thud, accompanied by a sickening noise. Christie then moved a little closer to investigate the thing, but it started to spasm, as if it was suffering from a seizure. "Don't move. Just die…" Christie said. She then gave the monster a swift, but powerful kick to its side, and the monster stopped moving, permanently. The woman then kneeled on the ground to look closer, then moved her right hand to touch the monster. The skin felt so soft and so disgusting and so repulsive to her, and the smell was unbearable. Finally, the woman could not control herself, as she vomited all over the monster.
"Urrghh, aaghhh!" Christie spat. After about a minute, she stopped throwing up, and wiped her lips. "That was unprofessional of me. The last time I threw up was when I had my first kill…"
After looking at the monster, now covered with her vomit, she stood up. "No point in looking at this bloody maggot. And how come no one is coming to investigate the gunshots? No civilians, not even the filth…" She then moved towards the other figure lying on the ground.
"I can't even see his face. It's all bloody and torn up. Hopefully, this isn't my contact…?" She then scooped up the papers surrounding the man, and began reading them.
Instructions:
You are to stay in front of the Creek Apartment at Silent Hill to deliver information to one of our "workers". Make sure it is the right person. When you meet the person, the key phrases must be used. You are to say "Nice weather today, huh?", and that person is supposed to reply "The only thing missing is the rain." Once you have identified that it is the correct person, give that person the papers concerning the targets, and don't forget to give the essential equipment as well.
"Well, unlucky, eh? There are more papers here. They're probably for me," Christie said, as she began reading the next set of papers.
There are two targets that must be taken out. Both of them are located at the Alchemilla Hospital. The first one is the daughter of a Chinese Billionaire. Her name is…
"Blah, blah, blah," Christie said, as she quickly scanned the background information, as well as the picture provided. "She looks and sounds awfully familiar, but they all look the same to me, so meh."
…the next target is a doctor in that hospital. His name is Michael Coffey, and…
"This is so boring. I don't really need to read all of these. Alchemilla Hospital…that's quite a walk from here…let's see this 'equipment'." The woman then looked around, but found nothing. "Maybe it's under the dead body…" She then moved the corpse, and saw that the dead body was wearing a backpack. "This must be it."
She removed the pack from the dead body, and checked its contents. "Hmm. I got some extra ammo for the Glock, a flashlight, and a nurse's uniform? The uniform might come in handy when I enter the hospital…if there are people inside…"
Before moving on, Christie took a quick look at the apartment building in front of her. "This place is in ruins. It looks like a fire fucked it up."
*****
After a long walk, the white-haired woman finally reached her destination. She was now wearing the nurse's pink uniform. "Alchemilla Hospital…" she said, reading the sign. Before she entered the place, she took a quick glance at her reflection in the door. "I knew it! This uniform is too tight! My boobs are too exposed, and the skirt is too short! Plus, the high heels are uncomfortable…"
As she entered the place, she noticed something immediately. "No people…yet again. But there are security cams, so I'd better make this quick. Hopefully, I don't look out of place. Now, let's go over to room 105."
As the assassin entered the correct room, she found her target immediately. "There you are…" she whispered. The Chinese girl was lying on an operating table, and wasn't moving. "They probably prepared her for her operation already. Let's see here…" she said, as she looked at some notes nearby. "…heart transplant? This should be interesting…but how come her face is all blue?"
The woman then felt for the girl's pulse. "…still ticking. Anyway, it's time for Dr. Christie to make an operation. Heh." She then put on a surgical mask and grabbed a sharp scalpel to perform her "operation".
Having no knowledge about performing delicate operations, the assassin messily cut through the patient's heart area. Blood splattered on her surgical mask as she worked to expose the victim's heart. After doing so, the white-haired woman stared at her work for a minute, then, smiling under her mask, she started messing around with the heart itself. She cut off veins, arteries, capillaries, whatever she could see. "This is so fun…"
After performing her unholy operation, the assassin then plunged the scalpel deep into the victim's heart. As blood splattered all over the place, she muttered, "Most creative kill…ever."
She then grabbed some cloth to clean up her mess. As she was cleaning, she took a glance at her victim's face, and was alarmed at what she saw. "Her eyes are open? But…I thought they were closed when I first saw her…nah. I'm just imagining all this shit."
After cleaning up the mess, Christie left the room. "Next up, Dr. Coffey. He should be in Basement 2."
As she was making her way to the elevator, she heard footsteps. "Someone's coming. Better look sharp."
As the footsteps came closer, Christie saw that it was another nurse. However, this nurse didn't look normal. The nurse didn't have a face, but had a mouth. She was also carrying a rusted steel pipe, and it looked like she was about to attack Christie. "Are all people here fucking abnormal or what?"
Christie then took out her Glock, and pointed the weapon at the faceless nurse. "Just fuck off, bitch! Oh well, fire at will!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Click! Click!
As the bullets hit the nurse on her chest, she emitted inhuman, animalistic groans, but she kept on coming. As Christie tried to reload, the nurse struck her with the steel pipe, and hit her on her right shoulder. The impact sent Christie to the wall. "Oww! Fucking nutter…"
She quickly inserted the fresh mag, and continued her barrage of gunfire.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The next barrage finally did the trick, as the nurse groaned heavily, and collapsed to the ground. As Christie looked at the nurse closely, the nurse started shaking, as if having a seizure. "Just stay down!" Christie yelled, as she gave the nurse several kicks to her head. Finally, the nurse stopped moving.
Christie then took the nurse's weapon. "I might need this. I don't know if I have enough bullets for this shit."
She then heard more footsteps. Christie saw two more nurses coming towards her, brandishing their own pipes. "You want some of this, sluts?" she yelled, as she waved her own steel pipe around.
There was a gap between the two nurses, so Christie attacked the one closer to her. She took a step forward, and made a thrusting move with her pipe. The pipe hit the nurse's chest, and it made her lose her balance, as she fell on the ground. Christie then followed up by lifting the pipe high above her head, and then delivering a powerful blow to the downed nurse's region between her legs. Christie then waited for the third nurse to come closer. The nurse then took a swing at Christie's head, but she blocked it, as a loud CLANG! was heard throughout the hallway. Christie then shoved the nurse away, making her lose her balance. She then delivered two quick, but powerful blows to the nurse's head, as sickening sounds of metal hitting flesh was heard. Blood was splattered all over the hallway. The nurse then fell to the ground, her head shaking inhumanly.
Not satisfied with this, the white-haired woman then pounded on the downed nurses some more, hitting their heads several times with her pipe. Finally content that the monsters were finished, she went to the elevator.
"Now let's get back to work…B2 it is…what the fuck?" she said. She noticed that there was no B2 button on the elevator panel. "This hospital only goes as low as B1. Maybe the intel was wrong. Let's try it."
She then pressed the B1 button. As the elevator started moving, it came to an abrupt stop a few seconds later. The lights also went out.
"…shit happens." Christie muttered. "FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!"
"Attention everyone! We have a power failure. Power should be restored shortly. The elevators are still working, and if anyone needs emergency supplies, like torches, please head to the storeroom at basement 1," a man on the hospital's speakers said. The elevators then started working.
"Might as well use the torch I got." Christie then took out her flashlight, turned it on, and placed it on her left chest pocket.
After reaching Basement 1, she looked around, checking all doors. Most of them were locked, and the ones that were opened contained nothing of importance. Finally, she stumbled upon the final door. "Hmm. The storeroom. I doubt that Dr. is there…"
She then opened the door, and found someone else instead.
"Oi! What do we have here?" Christie said. The woman took a quick look at the room's occupant and said, "You look bloody familiar. Didn't we meet at that crummy island several months ago? Sorry, forgot your name…"
"Yes. Yes we did. It's Lisa. And, sorry, what was your name again?" The dark-skinned woman asked.
"It doesn't matter," the white-haired woman replied. "It's much better if you don't know."
"Huh? How come?" But the white-haired woman did not reply, as she moved around the room, looking at the equipment all over the place.
"Nothing much here. I already have a torch, and that's all I need, for now," Christie thought.
"Oh my God…" Lisa muttered.
"Hmm? What the FUCK are you looking at?"
"…did you…kill those nurses?" Lisa whimpered.
"Nurses? Oh, you mean those monsters…"
"Monsters?"
"Yeah, I did. Oi! Don't look at me like that. It was self-defense. They attacked first. Besides, they were looking at me in a funny way…" Christie chuckled.
"But…but, you can't just kill someone, 'cause of the way they looked at you!"
"What a wanker…" Christie thought, and then said, "Oh yeah? Why the fuck not? You got something against that?" the woman replied in a defensive, but icy tone.
"N…no." Lisa whimpered, as she broke eye contact.
"Listen. Things are bloody fucked up around here. Your best bet is to high tail it out of here. And no, you can't come with me. I've got things to do, luv." The white-haired woman then opened the door, but before shutting it close, she said, "Well, cheers, Lisa."
Christie then left the room, and continued looking around. After finding no more doors to open, she sighed out loud. "Where is this fucking maggot? There's no Basement 2, so where else could he be? And that woman…I think it's much better if I get rid of her. Even if she doesn't know my name, she might notice my work, and call the filth on me. Yep, I have to do it…"
She went back to the storeroom, her steel pipe ready, but found no one there. "I guess she left. Oh well…lucky for her."
She then went to the elevator, and as the doors opened, she found the person she was looking for. "Hmm. I guess those lesbian nurses got her," Christie said, as she saw the corpse of the woman she was talking to a short while ago. "…makes my job much easier." She then kicked the corpse gently several times, just to make sure. "Yup. She's really dead." She then looked at the panel, and was shocked at what she saw. "What the fuck? There it is. B2. I know it wasn't there earlier. This place is fucked up. I'd better hurry, or else…"
She then went to Basement 2, and quickly looked for the room. After finding it, she opened the door, and found her final target. The man was sitting on his chair, her back facing his predator. "Christie…isn't it?"
"How do you know?" Christie then dropped the pipe, and took out her Glock.
"That doesn't matter. Did you enjoy your vacation?" the man said.
"Vacation? This is more like a bloody nightmare."
"Whichever you prefer. Didn't you have a good time? Killing people here and there…"
"Heh. I only killed one person. The rest were retarded monsters," Christie said.
"Monsters? They looked like monsters to you?" the man said with a hint of malice in his voice.
"What the hell? What do you mean?" Christie said, as she gripped her Glock tighter.
"Oh, never mind. You don't care anyway. They're either targets or collateral damage for you. Besides, don't you like this room? This is the morgue, in case you didn't notice."
Christie looked around after the man spoke. She noticed several corpses lying around, some on stretchers, some of them lying unceremoniously on the ground. "So?"
"These are the bodies of the people you've killed. Quite a number, isn't it? You've killed many to fill up a big room like this. Look at them! There's not enough space for them in this room."
"Shut it! You're just screwing around. It's time to die, doctor."
"Whoops! That final sentence was my line, my dear."
Suddenly, the corpses in the room started shaking. As Christie looked on in terror, blood started to come out of the shaking corpses. The blood then started to make its way to the white-haired woman. "What the hell is this?" she yelled, as the liquid substance touched her shoes, then it started making it's way towards her whole body. "Urrgghh…can't...breathe…" She then started vomiting blood, in an effort to clear her lungs, but it was no use. "I…don't want to…die like this…" She then pointed her Glock at her head, closed her eyes, and gently pulled the trigger.
BANG! was the last thing she heard.
And thus, Silent Hill has claimed another tainted soul.
End of Chapter 5
