Personal Nightmares
Author's Notes: Sorry for the long wait. I actually finished this chapter last December, but I thought that it was too predictable, so I deleted the file and started from scratch. It took me a while to get started, though. Again, I'm very sorry, and I hope that you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 7: Destructive Child
"Stupid town…" a purple-haired girl, wearing a violet bandana, violent tank top, and green cargo pants, said. "…I stayed out of sight and moved slowly to avoid the people here, but there's nobody here so far. Hmmph. This is probably why they call this dump 'Silent Hill', and it's hard to see anything with this fog too…"
Ayane took her time strolling through the town. "I'm supposed to meet some Tenjinmon slut. She said she had some info on the whereabouts on my dear half-sister…" she said with an emphasis on the word sister. "I'm assuming that coward is in this town. Actually, this shitty dump is a good place for her. She probably whored herself around this country, and decided to hole up in here. When I find out where exactly she is, she's going to regret her own existence…"
Suddenly, Ayane stopped walking. She sensed that someone was following her. She quickly drew her knife, as she turned around to confront her follower.
"Arf! Arf!"
"Wha? It's just a stupid puppy," Ayane said. She then walked on, but after a few minutes, she turned around to see the puppy following her, its tail wagging furiously.
"Stop following me, you stupid little shit!" Ayane yelled, but the puppy didn't listen, as it moved towards the purple-haired girl. It then licked her shoes, and barked several times.
"Hmph. You're disgustingly cute. Alright, I have something for you…"
Ayane then grabbed the puppy by its neck, and squeezed hard. The puppy yelped, and before it could pass out, Ayane drew her knife and slashed at the puppy, decapitating it. She dropped the headless body, and grabbed the severed head. She then threw it as hard as she could into a nearby wall. A loud Splat was heard, and the puppy's blood coated the wall.
"That should teach you a lesson, you dumb mutt," the girl said with delight. She turned to walk away, but stopped when she heard more noises.
"More of them. I guess your friends didn't see what happened, huh? Well, let's see if they want to have some fun…"
She then turned to face the source of the noises, but she was surprised at what she saw. Ahead of her where two dogs, but they were no ordinary dogs. "What the hell? Their skins look like someone tore them apart and rearranged them. And they fucking stink, too!" Ayane muttered. Before she could react, the dogs immediately attacked. One went for her right arm, while the other went for her left leg.
"Oww! Get away, you disgusting pieces of shit!" Ayane growled, as she struggled to free herself. The dogs' bites were getting deeper and deeper, as the dogs tasted the girl's blood.
Ayane then kicked the dog biting her leg away, and stabbed the dog that was all over her right arm. The dog didn't even budge, as it continued to tear away at the girl's arm. Ayane then repeatedly stabbed the dog over and over again, until the dog finally let go, and collapsed into the ground.
"Bastard…now where's your friend…" as if on cue, the other dog immediately jumped and attacked her, sending her to the ground, with the dog on top. Ayane then shoved her knife deep into the dog's belly, and slid it sideways, spilling the dog's guts all over the girl. She then shoved the dog away.
"Take that, you smelly shitheads!" she yelled. As she walked away, pain started to overtake her, as the adrenaline slowly wore off.
"Fuck. I'm messed up. That was careless of me…I should have been more prepared," she said, as she looked at her wounds. "Know what? I'm too damn lazy to fix this. I think this will make things better quickly…"
She then took out a needle containing an unknown red substance. Without any hesitation, she injected herself with the red liquid.
"Oh yeah! Fuck, that feels so good…" Ayane muttered, as her vision suddenly went a little bit blurry. "Now, I'd better go to this park, so I can finally rest…" she muttered, as she hobbled her way into her destination.
*****
After walking for an hour, the purple-haired girl reached her destination.
"Crappy park…" she muttered. "Just trees, benches, the lake…how boring and stupid…"
"Psst!" a female voice came from nearby.
"Who's there?" Ayane asked.
"It's me."
"You think I'm a fucking mind reader? Who's 'me'?" Ayane replied.
"It's Ayako," the girl said, as she came out of her hiding place. "Ayane, I didn't know you were the one coming."
Ayane looked closely at the girl. The kunoichi was wearing blue jeans and a black shirt. Her raven hair was long. "Bitch looks somewhat like Kasumi…" Ayane muttered out loud.
"Excuse me?" Ayako asked.
"Oh…never mind. I'm just not feeling too good…"
"You look like you're in pain. What happened?"
"No one gives a shit what ever happens to me…NO ONE!" Ayane yelled.
"Calm down! Let me take care of your wounds…"
"No time! Give me her location, now!"
"Alright. If you insist…"
Ayako then pulled out a map, and pointed at a spot. "Kasumi is hiding out in an apartment building on the first floor. The room is…are you listening to me?"
"Yeah."
"No, you're not. Your eyes have been wandering around. You're not paying attention…"
"Shettup! I heard you the first time. I know where to go. Your job is done," Ayane blurted, as she turned to leave, but as she took a few steps, she collapsed.
"Fuck…getting clumsy right now…" Ayane muttered.
"You're not OK. What happened to you, anyway?"
"I'll be OK. I'm always fucking OK. I just need a quick fix…" Ayane said, as she took out another needle containing the unknown red substance.
"What is that?"
Ayane didn't reply, as she injected herself with the substance. "Fuck…that felt damn good…I'll live…"
"Ayane…that's wrong…"
"Who asked you?" Ayane replied, as she turned to look at the girl. "What? Hehehe…"
"Huh?"
"You dumbass. Now I don't have to waste time looking for you."
"Um, Ayane, you're freaking me out…"
"You think you're so tough, showing yourself in front of me. You think you can take me on, huh? I'LL KILL YOU!"
"No! Ayane, you're not yourself…"
"DIE!" The raven-haired girl turned to run away, but Ayane was quicker, and she restrained her by wrapping her with her left arm. Ayane then shoved her knife deep into her right kidney.
"Urrghh…"
"Come on. Say your sorry. Say sorry for all the stupid things you've done to me. Come on, say it!"
"Please…don't…"
"Fucking slut…you'll never grant me some satisfaction now will you? Fine then. Die like the whore you are…"
Ayane then repeatedly stabbed the girl to her face until the bloodied figure stopped struggling. Ayane then shoved the girl away, as she examined her work.
"I…killed…her! Finally! I'm disappointed that she went down so easily…now, to get out of here…" Ayane mumbled, as she stumbled away from the corpse.
*****
"Shit…can't see anything with this fog…" Ayane mumbled. She had been walking for an hour, but could not seem to find a way out of the park.
Ayane then noticed a figure huddled nearby. With the fog, she could not see the figure clearly. As she got closer, she gasped at who it was. "…mom?"
"Ayane, Ayane…" the figure said.
"What are you doing here?"
"…nobody likes you, not even your own mother…" the woman said, but she wasn't talking to the purple-haired girl. She was actually talking to a baby she was carrying.
"Mom…"
The woman then placed the baby on the ground, and then placed her hands on the baby's neck. Ayane watched in horror at the scene unfolding in front of her.
"…no. Not right now…" the woman said. The woman then lifted the baby off the ground. "…I plan on taking my own life, so I might as well take you with me…we'll do this together…"
The woman then slowly faded away while singing.
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye,
It was always you that I despised,
I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh my,
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye…
Goodbye…goodbye…
"Crazy bitch drowned herself, and she tried to take me along with her. Everyone already blamed me for making her go crazy, and everyone wasn't happy that I survived. Fuck them all…" Ayane muttered, as she moved on. "I'm going through memory lane here…I'd better hurry up and get the hell out of here…"
She then stumbled upon two figures. As she got closer, she recognized both of them.
"Ayane, what are you doing?" the little auburn-haired girl said.
"What do you think?" the little purple-haired girl said.
"That's wrong…"
"Shut up. It's fun," the purple-haired girl said, as she slowly sliced open a live chicken. "Ooohh! Did you hear that? That was a nice squeal…"
"I'm telling Hayate…"
"Go ahead. Tell him. I don't care. Crybaby. Wah, wah, wah."
The two figures then disappeared into the fog. "What a bitch. Always ruining my fun. But she's dead now, and a corpse can't take away your fun…he…he…he…" Ayane mumbled.
After walking aimlessly, Ayane stumbled upon two more figures. "Hayate…"
"Ayane, we can't accept anymore failures from you," the auburn-haired man said.
"But…please…give me another chance…" the purple-haired figure said.
"No, Ayane. We're sending someone else. Someone more competent."
"I want this mission! Dammit!" the girl screamed.
The man looked closely at her eyes, and said "How long have you been doing this?"
"Doing what?"
"You know what I'm talking about. No wonder you can't perform well. Ayane, Ayane, what will I ever do with you?"
"I…I promise…I'll stop…just give me this mission…"
"No. Go to your room, and take a few days off, then we'll talk again. This meeting is over," the man said, as he turned around to walk away.
"Don't you ever turn your back on me!" the girl screamed, as she run towards the man and stabbed him in the back.
"Urghh…what's gotten into you?"
The man struggled, but the girl kept him locked into her with her left arm. "I hate you, dear brother…" the girl said.
"The feeling is mutual, Ayane. You won't get away with this."
"I already have," the girl replied. She then repeatedly stabbed the man with her knife while laughing out loud.
"Bastard…" Ayane said, as the two figures faded from view. "You were always on her side. You were always happy whenever she escapes, and whenever I fail. You two can GO TO HELL! You deserve each other!"
As Ayane was screaming more profanities, she stumbled upon a root of a tree, and fell face first into the soil. After laying still for several minutes, she picked herself up, and started crying.
"I…killed…everyone. Why? I just wanted them to like me. But no one did…everyone is dead, and it's all my fault…but wait. There's still one more left…" Ayane muttered, as she took out another needle containing the red substance.
"…can't blame this thing for my troubles. But, this might actually help me right now…" Ayane then gave herself another injection, and she collapsed, her eyes facing upwards. "We'll be together…soon…we'll start all over again. We'll be one, big, happy family…" After several minutes, the purple-haired girl shook around the ground, as if she was having a seizure, until life finally left her open eyes…
And thus, Silent Hill has claimed the life of another pathetic soul…
End of Chapter 7
