Authors Note: Hey, I hope you all review again. Here is the second chapter. The thank you list is at the end!
Chapter 2- Dysfunctional World
I stared at the creature as it approached. My legs were rooted on the spot.
'Help.' I yelled at the top of my lungs.
Suddenly I heard a bang and the creature fell over twitching. I looked around and saw that no one was there. Strange, I thought. I broke the monster's neck, killing it instantly before turning again to see if
anyone was there. I started to walk towards where I heard the shot and saw something wrapped in a brown note.
'What the hell.' I said as I approached.
I pulled the paper off to see a small handgun. It was silver and looked like it would be a great aid in this town. I looked around, suspecting that there were more of those things before bending down to pick up the gun. There was a note on the paper.
This gun has been nothing but trouble. It made me kill her and it'll make me kill again. I must leave it be before it kills someone else. I wish I could just leave it alone but I've got to leave it with someone. I feel to attached to it to just leave it abandoned. Once I see someone, I'll leave it there for someone. Then maybe I'll be able to do it. Then maybe I'll be able to kill myself...
Strange, I thought leaving the note where I found it. What the hell is with this fucking town.
I held out the gun and approached the mental home slowly. I finally reached the gates, but then I realised that they were heavily bolted and the walls on each side were too high to climb. I pressed the intercom but immediately realised that it wasn't working.
'Fuck this.' I said thinking I wouldn't be able to find my brother, until I noticed a small note under the gate. I opened it gently.
Nurse's Report
John has been bad today. He refuses to take his pills and won't go near any of the other patients. They all seem to be avoiding something but I don't know what it is...
I flicked over the page quickly.
Today I found a hole in John's room. He has been hiding it from us. It leads out of the hospital and into the theme park. It leads out to the haunted house. He escaped. Don't worry though, I've got the shotgun ready...
I stared at the page again. I was wondering was the hole still in the theme park. It's worth a shot, I thought quickly.
I turned and ran to around the corner to where the entrance to the theme park was. The stalls were blocked but I could easily jump over them. I climbed the rail and jumped down into the theme park. It looked so creepy. I suddenly felt a strange buzzing in my ear.
'What's going on.' I yelled.
'It's started.' I heard a familiar voice say from behind me. I turned around to see the mysterious woman smiling at me from the other side of the fence. She looked quite happy. 'The end has finally come.' She turned and I heard a strange siren noise in my ear. It grew steadily louder, as if taking over my entire brain. 'Have fun.' I heard her say, as if she was a distant voice.
'Frank, I'm scared.' I heard my brother's soft voice say from beside me.
'What's wrong, Anri' My ten-year-old form asked.
The sun was shining down on us in our little cottage in the country.
'I've been having these weird dreams.' Anri replied. I could see that he was close to tears. 'They brought me to this weird town... everything was covered in blood and there was a weird religion.'
'It was only a dream.' I said looking up at the clear sky again.
'No, it was real. I could feel everything and I could still feel pain after I woke up.'
'What else happened?' I asked hoping that Anri wouldn't cry.
'A voice told me that mom would bring me to this town later in life.' He started shakily. 'It said I should study the scriptures of the Gnothan.'
'That's creepy... I don't wanna know.'
'I have to tell ya. It was so scary. I felt a presence in the dream and I was happy when they told me I was going to this town.'
'What!' I shouted.
'I know, it was weird. They said I could prove myself and kill sin.'
'Shut up.' I said. 'I don't believe you.'
'The voice, it told me to kill Dad so I would be proven.' His voice really quivered. 'Although it told me to stay away from you... it said I'm not ready to kill you...'
I woke up suddenly and rubbed my hands on my neck. I hated these dreams that I had about the past. They kept repeating themselves. I opened my eyes after a pause and looked around. I was in the same place where I had past out, but this place was different... creepier.
It was dark now and the mist was gone. The place looked like it had come straight out of hell. The ground was a dark black and red although there were holes in the ground in a few places. There was a toy bunny rabbit staring at me with blood dripping down it's front.
I got up, not wanting to stare at the soft toy any longer. It gave me the creeps. I walked slowly and noticed the tin sound that came from my steps. The ground was made of tin and suspended on thin air.
'What's wrong with this place.' I thought looking around nervously.
I walked on and jumped back in fright once I saw what was on the door. There was a dead body hanging limp in a cage with its guts ripped out. I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman because the face and body was so dismantled. I pulled the heavy door open, trying not to touch the figure and went out with relief.
I didn't have much time to relax since I saw another creature like the one that I had seen near the mental home. It was approaching much quicker this time. I pulled out my gun and shot frantically. The thing fell to the ground, as I fired the last bullet.
'Shit.' I yelled. There were bound to be more monsters and I didn't think there would be bullets around the old town.
I looked around this circular area. I was still outside, except this place was even creepier than the last. There was a heavy breathing noise coming from the middle of the room and there was only a small space of pathway.
I ran up and out another door. There was a stairs in this area, which I immediately started to climb. The actual structure looked weak and I noticed that there was blood dripping down the side of the stairway. I reached the top and noticed that I was at a roller coaster stop. The track was blocked and I couldn't go any further. I noticed a little office and decided to go in.
I flung open the door and saw a young girl of about twenty crouching in the corner. She was clearly terrified and let out a whimper as I came in. She had short black hair, pale skin and dark eyes. She was quite beautiful.
'Hello.' I said enthusiastically, feeling relieved that there was someone else alive except that woman and me.
I walked over to the girl and I could see her cowering into the corner.
'I'm Fred.' I said. 'Who are you?'
The girl studied me for a few moments and then finally got up, looking less scared.
'Thank god there is someone else still alive.' She said smiling gently. She leaned forward and hugged me. 'I'm Michelle.'
The girl hugged me for a few moments before letting go and looking me in the eye.
'Why are you here?' She asked softly.
'I came to the town.' I started. 'To release my brother. He's in the mental home.'
'What's your brother doing in a place like this... it's bound to make him even more insane.' She said looking at the ground.
'I can't figure how anyone lives here.' I started. 'It's all so strange.'
'I just woke up here... I've never been here before.' Michelle explained. 'Without warning, I woke up in this room.'
'Do you have a weapon?' I asked.
'Yeah, a knife.' She said flashing a large kitchen knife.
'Why didn't you try to escape?' I asked inquisitively.
'I was too scared.' She explained. 'But now that you're here... we can get out of this place.
'I still have to find my brother.' I muttered.
'But... I doubt he really is here!' Michelle started. She looked upset that I wasn't going to help her get out of the town. 'I can't go on my own. I wanna find the exit but I can't on my own.'
'I can't just leave without trying to find my brother.' I snarled, getting quite angry.
'Sorry.' Michelle cried, stepping back. I didn't know why I was being so aggressive or why I really wanted to stay. 'Can I come with you to find your brother?'
'Sure.' I answered. 'Just don't hold me back.'
'I won't.' She replied.
I noticed that there was a large knife at the back of the office. I took it and went through the door at the end. Michelle followed me, looking scared.
'Where are we going?' She asked. She was really scared.
'To the haunted house.' I explained pointing in the direction of a large, old and creepy looking house.
I heard heavy breathing and suddenly a large, ugly dog stepped out in front of me. It was drooling and looked like it would be trouble. I immediately swung forward with my knife, plunging it into it's back.
It didn't fall over, but snapped at me, tearing some flesh on my hand. Michelle retreated, trying to stay as far away from it as possible. I plunged the knife into it again and this time it keeled over, dead.
'Let's go quickly.' Michelle said, looking disgustedly at the body of the dead dog. It's intestines were spilled out over the blood drenched ground. We ran in the direction of the haunted house and we both stepped in.
'This place is creepy.' Michelle muttered through tears.
'Shut up, something might hear us.' I said trying to quieten the girl. I didn't know why I was being mean to her.
'Okay.' She whispered back.
We walked quietly through the silent hall. Suddenly a fake bat fell from the ceiling making Michelle scream and me jump back.
'Shut up.' I hissed at her.
I could hear footsteps coming down the hallway.
'Now look at what you did.' I moaned.
'Sorry.'
I prepared myself as the footsteps drew nearer. I could hear loud breathing coming from the creature.
It appeared around the corner and I noticed something different about it. It was wearing a hospital uniform and carrying a bat. It looked like a deformed nurse.
I ran at it and slashed it with the knife. It hit me back with the bat, making my vision go blurry. It took another hit at me, but this time I dodged it. I took another slash at it, except this time at the throat. Blood splurged out and it fell backwards.
'What's with this place?' My sobbing acquaintance asked.
'I don't know, but that thing wouldn't have come if it wasn't for you.' I yelled.
I walked over to the body of the nurse (I decided to call it that since it was appropriate) and looked at it. There was a slip that read "Humphreas' General Mental Home" and a note attached to her belt.
Nurse's report
I've gone to look for the missing boy. The search will take a long time so I decided to leave my shotgun in my office...
I noticed that there was a hole in the wall at the end of the corridor.
'Come on, it's over here.' I said running towards it.
I couldn't see anything beyond the hole except darkness.
'Follow me.' I said, as I forced myself through the narrow gap.
I took Michelle's hand and started to pull her through, but suddenly a siren went off and the place started to change around me.
'Fred... What's happening.' She screamed as I let go of her hand and put it to my head. It was so sore.
I could hear Michelle panic but couldn't help her.
'Fred, don't leave me.' She said, as I passed out on the floor.
