A/N: This is my first multi-chapter story, and I've finally finished. Thank you so much to the people who were kind enough to read this, and those who reviewed.
What happened? Did I get knocked out? Well, whatever happened, when I came to, I was back in the hospital. I wish I knew what was going on! Lisa seemed almost more frightened than I had seen her so far. The weird thing is, there almost seemed to be something else in her eyes, something that might lunge out at me at any moment. What happened instead was that Lisa ran away from me. Why did she do that? I mean I probably look like I've been to hell and back but surely I don't look that frightening, do I? Anyway, I left through the same door that Lisa had, and I immediately felt 'it'. 'It' was calling, summoning, me. I took the elevator down, confident that I would find answers, and Cheryl, in the basement.
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when I found that I was on the same floor I had just left. I mean, I should have been used to it by now, but it was still a shock. And what's more, the antique shop, the school classroom and the jewellery store were here as well. Anyway, I was running around in this funhouse on speed, collecting various artifacts, when I found Lisa. She was hiding behind some boxes in a large room. But she seemed different from before. Oh, she was still scared, but …. Well, I don't really know how to describe it, other than that she seemed to be rather 'twitchy', like she couldn't control what she was doing anymore. Maybe Lisa was being controlled all this time and the controls had gone all screwy. She started to bleed, the blood running down her face and arms, but the sadness in her eyes was the worst. Like she knew what was happening to her and was powerless to stop it. She rushed at me, and I ran from the room, barring the door with all my weight. I could hear her, hammering on the door, calling my name, then the cries faded to nothing. Yet again in this nightmare of a town, I felt my heart rip from its housing and shatter. Am I a coward for leaving Lisa?
I continued on through this mad house with Lisa's last cries still echoing in my mind, until I found a child's room. Alessa's room, I guess. In the door on the far wall there were slots where I placed the artifacts that I had collected. I heard the 'snick' as the door unlocked. I took one last look around the room and opened the door that I hoped would lead to my daughter.
As I was following the hallway, I saw a vision of Dahlia and Alessa. All I could figure was that Dahlia wanted her daughter to do something and Alessa didn't want to. Then the vision faded. I descended into a basement area and found Dahlia and two girls, one seated on the ground, the other in a wheelchair covered from head to toe in bandages. When I demanded to know where Cheryl was, Dahlia pointed to the girl on the ground and told me that she was right in front of me. But that's impossible!! It has to be! That's when something amazing happened. I'm not sure if Dahlia had something to do with it or not, but the two girls transformed into one and Dahlia screeched, "my daughter will be the mother of a god!". that's when Kaufmann joined the party. He produced a bottle of red liquid, similar to the stuff that I had used on Cybil, and like the stuff I had found in the fuel tank of the motorbike. Kaufmann threw the bottle at Alessa, and a giant winged something appeared. I guess that it was the demon, Samael. The demon turned on Dahlia and destroyed her. Then it turned on me.
It didn't occur to me until later just how easy it was to kill that demon. Maybe because it had been dormant for so long, it was weak. As it died, it let out one last feeble scream, the scream of a young girl. That's when Lisa climbed from below the floor and dragged Kaufmann down into the depths, to what I presume was a fate worse than death, but probably no more than he deserved.
Alessa had collapsed to the floor with the death of the demon. The world seemed to be ripping apart, devouring itself. Alessa handed me a bundle containing a baby, and pointed towards a bright light in the distance. Cybil, who had been knocked out, got to her feet. I hated to leave Alessa behind, but there was no way I was going to be able to carry her and the baby. The 'Other World' was crumbling and I could only pray that the end would be quicker than what her mother did to her. Cybil and I ran towards the light and found ourselves back on the snowy streets of Silent Hill.
