Authors Note: I wanted to write this chapter sooner rather than later. Not much will be revealed about the story as a whole but it is quite an important chapter. The monster that pulled Frank under will finally be explained in this chapter (although it isn't important and you'll never find out how he ended up in the hospital). I have nothing important to say. Happy Christmas to everyone if I don't update another chapter before then. I hope you all like this chapter. A great thanks to Kronos106 for giving me a great website to get silent hill maps. The thank you list is at the end as always. Here goes the chapter…

Chapter 7- The Advergue

I swallowed hard in fright and nervousness as I woke up in the basement. The walls were covered in a thick red coloured substance and the place smelt of bile. It was obvious that I was in the dark world.

I stared straight ahead at the monster that was approaching me slowly. It looked so bad with the pink, almost raw meat coloured skin and the puss that seemed to be coming out of it's gaping mouth. I shot several times, blowing it's head clean off. I got up, looking for an exit but saw that the basement exit was blocked with the intestines of an animal. I looked away in disgust. I started to tug at the door to the generator room and discovered that it was locked. As I did I heard the eerie sound return to my ears. Suddenly there was a high pitched scream and I froze. Could that have been Sarah?

I tugged on the boiler room door and found that it was also locked. I looked in desperation towards the other two doors to see that they were jammed.

'I'm fuckin' stuck here.' I said, agitated.

There was a weird sound filtering through the walls, like the pumping of blood and there was also a high pitched sound every few seconds.

I closed my eyes, trying to fight back against the sounds but they were starting to make me go insane.

'Fuck off.' I yelled, not feeling stupid even though I was shouting at a wall.

I screamed as loud as I could and kicked the door to the boiler room. Then I noticed that the elevator was in place. It seemed to be in perfect condition, as though it hadn't crashed earlier. I approached it suspiciously. The mesh cover showed that it was perfect inside, with no damage.

I walked over to it and it opened as I did. I decided to step in, not caring anymore whether I died or not. I looked around it and realised that all of the buttons had dissapeared except one. I leant in closer to see what it said.

'X'. I read aloud. 'What the hell is that.'

I pressed the button and suddenly the elevator started to move downward. I stayed in the middle, noticing that there were all sorts of things in the shafts. I waited for a long time as the elevator continued to move. I pulled out my cigarettes and started to smoke one.

A couple of minutes later the elevator stopped, opening it's door to a bizarre hallway. There were several nurse creatures who seemed to be patrolling the halls but they all had their backs turned so they didn't see me. The walls were covered in a thick purple substance which seemed to be moving. It looked like soup on the boil. I stepped out into the filthy hall quietly trying to reach the nearby doorway. I could here the nurses' heavy breathing and it seemed to send shivers down my spine. I reached the door, pulled it open and stepped into the new room, slamming the door behind me. I let out a deep breath, relieved that I had avoided those things.

The first thing I noticed was Anri's dark figure standing at the end of this new hallway. He looked up at me and for the first time, he didn't look scared.

'Brother.' He said in a low gritty tone. His voice seemed to pierce my heart.

'Anri.' I said in response, forgetting what I had to say to him.

'I hope you know, I have to do this.' Anri mumbled. 'I need to do it on my own, I can't always rely on you.'

'Do what?' I asked, confused.

'You should leave.' Anri stated, ignoring my question. 'You can still get out.'

'Please.' I said stepping forward. He stepped back against the wall as I drew nearer. He was obviously still afraid of me. I stopped.

'Why did you kill Dad?' I asked, as tears fell from my eyes. 'You ruined everything for yourself.'

'I had to, she told me of his betrayal.' Anri whispered. 'I don't want to have to kill you too!' He looked deep into my eyes and I could clearly see how afraid he was.

He stepped out through the door beside him, leaving me in the long hallway feeling empty. I sat down on the dirty ground and put my hands to my eyes. Why was everything going so wrong? What was happening?

As I started to think, I heard a scream coming from a door on the left hand side. It was a girlish high pitched scream. I got up immediately and entered the room. It was a pool room and Sarah was crouched in the corner. There were several tentacles wrapped around her legs trying to pull her into the filthy water.

'Hold on!' I screamed at Sarah as I aimed my shotgun at the tentacles.

I shot at one, although it only made a small piercing and didn't seem to hurt the monster at all.

I decided to aim at into the water, so I would hopefully shoot the head. I shot four or five times, eventually making it thrash about in the water. I looked over at Sarah and saw that it had recoiled from her. It smacked me with one of the tentacles, sending me flying against the wall in pain.

My vision started to blur and I barely could see. I was in such pain and I couldn't get up. I fainted.

'Frank.' Sarah's voice yelled as my vision came back to me. I looked up to see her face caked in blood from the creature's tentacles. She smiled. 'Thanks for saving me.'

I looked down at the floor in front of her.

'What happened?' I asked.

'It died straight away after it hit you.' Sarah explained. 'You must have hit its head or somethin'.'

'I hope so!' I sighed.

I looked over at the pool where the thing was floating. It looked like a large mutated octopus. It's mouth was wide open and there was blood pouring out, polluting the water more than it already was.

'I was in here, waiting for you when it came through a hole at the bottom of the pool.' Sarah explained. 'I think it came from the lake.'

'Yeah, maybe.' I said, thinking it was the same creature that had attacked me before.

I noticed a small book over beside the pool so I got up slowly and limped over to see what it was. It was open on a page.

The lake seems to have many mysteries. Several people have disappeared from around the lake. People believe there is a monster living in the lake although it has never been proven. The monster is said to have many tentacles and travels up the shimnae river in search of meat.

I finished reading the short paragraph and threw the book down.

'Guess it was real then.' I said to Sarah.

'Frank, how are we going to get out of here?' Sarah asked.

'How did you end up here anyway?' I asked. 'You were gone when I woke up!'

'I woke up in the room next door, it was creepy there so I came in here!' She looled terrified. 'I want to get out of here, I can't die in this town!'

'I know.' I said sympathetically. 'We'll find a way out.'

'I need you with me!' She stated. 'I can't be on my own.'

'Okay.'

'I have something to tell you.' She muttered, looking around trying to avoid my eyes. 'I saw your brother out there and he told me to stay away from you!'

'Really!' I said in surprise. 'Did you talk to him.'

'No, he creeped me out so I came in here.'

'Oh.' I said.

'Why doesn't he want me to stay with you?'

'I don't know!' I answered sincerely.

'I just don't understand.' She said softly. 'Why are we trying to get him out of this town when he obviously doesn't want to leave.'

'How do you know that?' I asked in anger.

'Well, he could have followed me but he just stayed there.'

'That's because that fucking bitch is controlling him.' I snapped.

'Sorry.' Sarah said in a shaky voice.

'No, it's alright.'

I gestured for her to follow me and I walked towards the door. It swung open and the mysterious lady walked in.

'Hello.' She said with a smile. 'You're still alive, I'm impressed.' She said to Sarah.

'Shut up.' I yelled at the woman and I pointed the shotgun to her head.

'I wouldn't do that.' She said with a short laugh. 'You don't want to shoot your mother.'

'Shut up.' I yelled again. 'You're not my mother, she's dead.'

The woman stepped closer to me and her cold grey eyes met mine.

'No, I'm not dead.' She stated.

'Go away.' Sarah shouted from behind.

'Shut up child.' The woman spat turning on Sarah. 'This is nothing to do with you!'

'Fuck you.' I snarled stepping back into the room, still pointing my gun at her.

She stepped in closer.

'It's time for your test.' She said.

'What test?' I asked in hatred.

'You need to prove yourself worthy by beating it.' She said. 'For your part is just as important as your brother's. I didn't know that until recently. You need to be there!'

'Shut up!' I said again.

'Now, it's time for you to face the advergue.' She shouted in bliss.

'What is the Advergue?' I asked, worrying.

'I'm surprised you didn't here it before.' She said and I thought of all the wailings in the hospital.

'Just let us go!' Sarah yelled.

'You can go for now!' The mysterious lady said turning on Sarah. 'I'll kill you later. The elevator will bring you up and you can leave the hospital.'

'Go.' I said to Sarah. I knew that she wasn't playing a trick on Sarah for some reason. 'Meet me at the hotel…'

Sarah walked towards the door.

'Try to get out of town yourself if I don't come for you.' I yelled after her.

I watched her slip out the door, wishing I could do the same.

I heard a faint eerie noise and then possibly the most disgusting noise I'd ever heard. It sounded like someone was trying to breath while holding vomit or blood in their mouth.

'Here it is.' She smiled and left the room, leaving me shaking with fear. I could feel the presence of this creature as it breathed.

I looked around the room, searching for it but I couldn't see it.

'Where are you?' I called.

A few seconds later the whole room started to tremble and part of the ceiling gave away. I watched in terror as I huge monster came out through the hole. It was shaped like a snake, long without any legs although it's face was disgusting. I could see that it's skin was moving and saw small red blood vessels shoot up through it's body.

'Stay back.' I yelled.

It wriggled down onto the ground and came towards me at speed. I shot until the gun was empty, although it still wasn't dead.

'Fuck.' I yelled, throwing the gun to the side and running towards the door.

It reached me first and bashed me onto the floor. I stared at it as it came down on me, ready to suck my face off or something. I rolled to the side quickly and ran in the other direction. I noticed that the building was trembling again. I picked up the book from the poolside and got ready. It turned and headed towards me again but I threw the book right at it's face making it stop for a few seconds. I sprinted as fast as I could out through the door and back into the hallway. I headed for the hallway with the elevator. The advergue burst through smashing the door and part of the wall.

The place was coming down around me now and I knew I only had a few seconds to get out.

I went through into the hallway with the elevator and raced as fast as I could towards it. I hit the button for up repeatedly, watching the advergue as it closed in on me. Suddenly a big piece of plaster from the ceiling fell on it's head making it stop.

The doors to the elevator closed and I breathed a sigh of relief as we started to go up. I heard the sound of the creature below and I shivered.

As the doors of the elevator opened, leaving me on the first floor, I noticed that it was light outside again. A whole New Hope started to fill me.

I noticed that the place seemed peaceful, as though nothing happened.

I walked back into the waiting room and went to the doors that Philip had locked, hoping that they would be open. I pulled on the door but it didn't budge.

'Fuck.' I yelled.

I noticed a note under the door.

Please leave all hospital gowns in the examination room before leaving the hospital

I decided to head to the examination room, which was nearby. I stepped into the large open room and noticed that my own clothes were folded neatly on the small bed in the corner.

'What the hell?' I said, although I was happy to see them.

I pulled off the hospital gown and stepped into my own clothes, which were so much more comfortable.

I walked back out into the waiting room and noticed that the exit was wide open now. I rushed out into the hospital yard and stared back at the old building. It looked lovely and peaceful but the hospital had done it's damage to me. I knew that I'd remember that place for the rest of my life.

Authors Note: Yay, I finally finished. This chapter took ages and ages and ages to write so don't tell me it was shit! The next chapter will be up shortly. Well here is the thank you list…

Bannanime- Okay thanks for the review but you have it all wrong. They weren't locked in the room, the exit to the hospital was locked. They could go anywhere inside the hospital! Yes the evil lady is Frank's mother! I don't like Sarah either, I didn't want people to love her! Also in the fifth chapter Frank saw his bag in the corner of the room. Check chapter 5 if you don't believe me! I'm glad that you think the last chapter was one of the best chapters so far. I don't usually write at 5 am. I just couldn't get to sleep that night so I thought, why not! By the way, you don't rant, I really enjoy your reviews!!!

Kronos106- Thanks for the website once again and I'm glad you liked that chapter. Sarah was put in this story to be annoying!
