Authors Note: To everyone who reviewed the last chapter, thank you. The thank you list is at the end of the chapter. Anyway, another week, another chapter. It took me ages to write this chapter because I had to play through silent hill 1 until the hospital and copy the map of it. I wanted to write this chapter for ages so here it is.
Chapter 5- The Alchemilla General
I stared down at my torso and shuddered seeing all of the blood. It was such a deep red and had such a strong smell. It reminded me of rust. I got up suddenly shaking the blood off me and it was a few minutes before I realised that the blood wasn't mine. I was completely naked, standing in this large, unkept operating room. My cloths were nowhere to be seen around me. I looked down again, uneasily at my torso, which still looked red and dirty. My throat was hurting so badly, as if I had just drowned.
Where's Michelle, I asked myself as I rubbed my throat. I have to get to her.
I found a hospital gown beside the operating table which I had been lying on and put it on over my naked body. I was strangely insecure about walking around naked even though there was probably no one in the hospital.
I looked out the small window and saw that it was pitch black outside. I was still in the dark world. I examined the room, looking for anything of use and saw my bag of stuff over at the wall. I picked it up and looked through it, taking out my shotgun. There was something about this place that I really didn't trust.
I also found a map on the ground and decided to head to the first floor to leave the hospital.
I walked out and into the operating prep room, where I saw a mutated nurse. She had a axe in her hand and was walking towards me with it quickly. I raised my shotgun and blew off her head as quickly as I could. Her body started to twitch on the floor but I didn't bother to shoot her again because I knew I wouldn't be going back into the room.
I heard several screams as I walked out into the hallway, sending chills up my spine. The place became strangely silent after that, as if the place was saving its energy for something terrible to happen.
I tugged at the door that separated the hallway but it was locked.
I'll have to take the lift, I thought miserably.
I walked towards the end of the hallway and into the waiting room beside the elevator. The elevator itself looked old and worn. I didn't trust it at all. The walls of it were made of mesh and you could see through the old shaft, which was rusty. In fact, the elevator looked like a birdcage, waiting to fall.
I stepped into it, having no choice and pressed the button for the first floor. The elevator started to move downwards and my heart skipped as it did. I could hear the line groaning as it was probably about to fall soon.
It stopped all of a sudden banging against the sides of the shaft.
'Help!' I yelled, not thinking in panic.
The elevator started to move upwards quickly and arrived back at the second floor. I jumped out as the doors opened and as soon as I did the elevator gave a loud groan and the cable snapped, sending the elevator to the bottom with a large bang.
I lay on the floor for a few minutes trying to get a grip of myself.
'What the fuck is going on???' I screamed really loudly trying to relieve myself of the frustration. How was I going to get out now?
I got up and brushed the dust off my gown. I found a note on a chair in the room and opened it.
Nurse's Report
Alessa has been moved from room 205 due to difficulties. She can't be contained for much longer if she is to be of use. I enclose a list of the patients now on the second floor.
Room 201- Catherine Morris
Room 202- David Jonston
Room 203- Thomas Good
Room 204- Stephen Crier
Room 205- Anri Long
Room 206- Lisa McFarland
I stared at the list again and my eyes widened as I saw Anri's name written there. I ran from the room and towards room 205. I threw the door open and stepped inside to see my brother lying on the bed.
'Anri.' I called.
He looked up in surprise.
'Anri, it's me, your brother.' I said.
He looked at me in fright and looked around him. He didn't want to talk to me. I shined my flashlight around the darkened room and saw that there was a large hole between the room and 206. I stepped towards it to block an escape from Anri but he was to fast for me. He jumped quickly towards it and stepped through before I reached it. I fell on the bed, knowing that I wouldn't be able to catch him. I heard him open the door in the next room and run down the hallway.
'Anri.' I said to myself. 'What's happening?'
I lay in silence for a few seconds and then I heard it. There was some sort of crying coming from somewhere. I didn't know what it was, all I knew was that it wasn't human. There were several loud cries coming from it and it made me feel uptight and angry.
'What the fuck is this?' I screamed. I had a dreaded feeling that I wasn't going to escape from this hospital.
I headed towards the door and pulled but it wouldn't open. I looked down and saw that there was a note wedged in under it. I pulled it out and opened it.
The Story of the rebirth
Phidificus spoke to the prophets and they told him "He will come in soon time, he will change everything and you will be finally able to live in peace, in paradise". Phidificus was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "He will come but there is a downside. There will be one way to stop him. The fluid of Perilli can stop him coming back. The fluid will be hidden and mustn't be destroyed. If it is destroyed before the reborn God is at power, he will perish." Phidificus stared with a smile on his face. "The parousia- the rebirth of God will happen soon." At this Phidificus knelt down and slit his wrists to show his gratefulness. As the blood started to pour, he wrote, "He is coming" on the wall in his own blood before fainting.
I put down the sheet of paper in disgust. What did it mean?
'What's with this fucking town?' I said to myself in anger.
I noticed another sheet under the story and pulled it out. There was a key attached.
You'll find the girl in the bathroom. Hurry, I hope she's all right. Here's the key to the hallway door.
Michelle, I thought panicking. They had probably killed her like they had done to Philip.
I rushed out of the room and into the hallway. I shoved the key in the lock of the door that divided the hallway and ran to the girls' bathroom, which was the first door on the left.
I opened the door and saw that the room was completely dark.
I was too terrified to call out in case I didn't get a response. I shone the light from each corner, slowly hoping that I wouldn't find Michelle's body. I eventually shone the light against one of the cubicles where a teenage girl of about eighteen was standing in fear. Her auburn hair was messed up and her face was covered in dirt and teardrops. There was also a large cut on her head.
'You're not Michelle.' I snapped angrily, almost accusing the girl of doing something bad.
The girl simply stared back in fright and I started to feel sympathy for her.
'Sorry.' I said sincerely. 'I'm just… I'm looking for someone.'
She stared at me in fright.
'What's your name?' I asked, trying to get the girl to talk.
'Sarah.' She said eventually.
'I'm Frank.' I said. 'How did you get here.'
'I woke up in the basement of the hospital a few days ago.' She whimpered. 'I don't know how I got there…'
'This place is weird!' I told her. 'Watch yourself, this whole town is fucked up! Especially this hospital.'
'I know.'
'Are you sure you're okay?' I asked.
'Why are you dressed in a hospital gown?' She asked back.
I stared into her eyes and I now knew why she was so terrified. She probably thought I had something to do with the hospital.
'I woke up in the operating room. I was naked so I put it on.'
'Oh.'
'Have you been in this hospital before?' I asked.
'Yes!' She said unexpectedly. 'My mum used to work here. She said everything became creepy here, so she moved.'
'What's it called?'
'It's the Alchemilla General.' She explained. 'My mum hated this town, especially the hospital. She said she was miserable here.'
'I can't believe this place used to be a normal hospital.'
'It was never normal.' Sarah said. 'I remember when I came in here all of the children were crying. I was too. I guess there was an evil presence in the building.'
'Maybe.' I sighed. 'We need to get out of here anyway.'
'The doorway to the stairwell is jammed so we'll have to take the elevator.' Sarah said.
'The elevator is broken.'
'How can we get out then?' Sarah asked, tears forming in her eyes. 'I have to get out of this place.'
'We'll think of something.'
'Will you stay with me when we get out?' Sarah pleaded. 'I can't stay in this place on my own.'
'I have to get Michelle when I get out. You can come with me.'
'Okay.'
There was a loud bang outside and I heard loud footsteps coming to the room.
'Get into the cubicle, quick.' I said to Sarah.
I held my shotgun at the door as Sarah rushed into the nearest cubicle. I could here her breathing loudly inside.
The door flung open and I stared at the familiar woman as she entered the bathroom with a smile.
'How is the treatment at the Alchemilla General?' She mocked.
'You brought me here, didn't you?' I asked.
'Why no, it was your brother.' She said.
'I don't believe you.' I stated. 'And I don't believe that he killed Philip either.'
She looked away coldly.
'He didn't kill Philip.' She spat in disgust. 'He was meant to but he didn't.' She looked back up at me and the evil smile returned. 'But he will!'
I ran towards her but suddenly my head started to throb and I was brought to my knees. A loud siren started to fill my head.
'I'll see you soon.' She laughed and went back out the door.
I was now curled up on the ground and feeling as though my head was going to explode. The siren continued to beat through me and I watched as the place around me changed.
Authors Note: We all know what's happening (the place is changing back into the normal world). Frank didn't faint in this chapter (hurray!) and there were no flashback moments. I will have the next chapter up shortly. Please review the chapter. Here is a thank you list for the people that reviewed over the last week:
Dharknia- Hey, thanks for your wonderful reviews. I'm glad you like the name Anri. I made it up but it does mean something in another language. I will tell you at the end of the fic. I'm really happy that you like my writing style! I love yours too. I love that final fantasy story you have. I'll read more of it soon. I also love your silent hill story. It's great!
Kuroneko-sama007- I chose room 302 of the hotel because they always choose room 302 for everything in silent hill games (hotel- Mary, Henry's apartment in sh4) so I decided to go along with it. I'm glad you are reminded of sh2. You'll probably be reminded of sh1 for this chapter.
Bannanime- Thanks for reviewing ch 3 and 4. I love the evil woman too. I have big plans for her (bwahaha). More will be revealed about her later and yes, she has major plans for Anri. Thanks for the wonderful reviews.
MessedUpSoMuch- What can I say, thanks!!!
