Chapter 4: The prophecy

Suddenly, the flashlight lit up something lying on the road. Gaia walked a little closer, but the sight caused her to scream and take some steps backwards. She stared at the woman that lied in the middle of the road. The woman was lifelessly staring up in the sky and her mouth was wide open. The beautiful golden hair on the womans head was stained with blood. And she was wounded. She had big scratches over her body and the blood had stopped to flow from the scratches, but the woman was covered with ingrained blood. It looked like it was a long time ago since she died and her skin was so pale it could have been powder white snow instead of skin.

What the hell happened to her?! Gaia thought while looking at the corpse with terror-strucked eyes.

She started to feel sick of the sight, but noticed that something lied between her and the woman; an envelope. The curiosity won over the horror. Trying to not look at the dead woman, she took a step forward and quickly picked up the blood stained envelope. The name that was written on it, was 'Gaia Anderson'. Gaia's pulse increased as she looked at the name. There was no address, just a name. She tried to calm down and convinced herself that there sure was somebody in this town who had the same name as she had. Yeah, probably. But somewhere deep inside, she knew that it was just a lie. The envelope had her name on it and not anyone else's name.

The pulse went back to normal and she she turned her back against the woman and opened the envelope. Inside, there was a key. "Silent Hill Library" was carved into the cold key. Gaia frowned and dropped the envelope. She didn't have time to go to some uninteresting library, she wanted to go home. Oh, if she just could get out of this town. With a sigh, she threw the key away and tried to decide what she should do. She could always continue past the dead woman or go bak to the house and wait for Terence to come back. She had a little guilty conscience for not staying there, as she told him to do. Gaia wanted to get out if the town, so she decided to take the way past the woman and continue in that direction, hoping to get out of this damn town.

Gaia slowly turned around and started to walk by the side of the woman. Suddenly, one of her trainers tumble down in a pool of blood from the woman. The blood splashed on her bare legs and she quickly jumped from the pool of blood. Disgusted, she stared at her blood-stained legs and wrinkled her nose. She decided this wasn't her day at all. Monster dogs and a dead woman. Quietly, she swore and continued walking while trying to be unmoved by the blood on her legs. Her trainers slammed against the pavement as she walked and she attentively looked around, hoping to find some sort of clue that could tell her where she was. Gaia's flashlight caught up a big sign on an old building.

"Silent Hill Library"

The letters were big and golden yellow and quite hard to miss. Gaia pursed her lips with irritation when she stopped. The mysterious pursuer stopped walking just a second after she stopped. He was still there, lurking in the shadows. She frowned at the library. It seemed like somebody wanted her to go in there. Should she go in there? Well, maybe it wasn't even unlocked. After all, she threw the key away before. But she slowly approached the entrance and saw something glimmer in the keyhole. She raised her eyebrow when she saw that it was the key that was put into the keyhole. Confusion came over her for a short moment. Didn't she throw the key away? But, she didn't really think there was only one key to that library in the whole world. Should she go in there? The question smashed into her head again. Well, she had to admit it was kinda cold. Maybe she could just warm herself up and then continue. Yeah, that was a good idea.

Her hand reached out and unlocked the big glass door. A low 'click' was heard and she opened the door. She carefully stepped into the building and closed the door behind her. The dim light made the library look a little spooky, but Gaia didn't really care. It was warm inside and that felt great to her cold body. She began to wander between the rows of bookshelves. They were covered with thick layers of dust and ingrained dirt, spider webs reached from a bookshelf to another. The books seemed to be a hundred of years old and most of the book's titles wasn't readable at all. At least, her pursuer hadn't came into the library yet.

A book caught her attention; "Silent Hill's Prophecies" wrote by Dahlia Gillespie. She didn't know why, but she pulled the book out of the shelf. It was like she felt some great power lying within the book and she opened the old book. The pages had turned yellow and was quite rigid.

"The Tears of Blood" was the name on the chapter Gaia had opened. It sounded rather interesting, so she decided to read a little:

"One of the ancient prophecies in this town is the one about the tears of blood. A young, white woman is foretold to come to the town on a misty night. Her destiny is a dreadful one. The only reason she was borned is to fulfil this prophecy.
She is meant to cry fifteen tears of blood, each tear brings her closer to her fall, each tear brings the town closer to the re-birth of the Paradise.
When the fifteenth tear flows down her cheek, the Paradise will be re-borned and eternal peace will lie within the town. Everyone will be forgiven for their mistakes, crimes and sins. Everyone, except the woman who lead them to this Paradise. She falls and her life will abruptly end. But"

Gaia heard the door open and looked up from the book. Terence rushed into the library and he looked furious. In surprise, Gaia dropped the book and stared at Terence as he made his way to her. Why did he look so angry? Well, she told him that she was going to stay in that house, but she didn't. He didn't have to get so angry about it, because didn't have to be some kind of a baby-sitter. He didn't have to go looking for her, he didn't have to care about her at all!

"Hey, I..."

Abruptly, Gaia stopped talking when Terence pulled something out of an inside pocket on his jacket. Quickly, he put the pistol in his hand against Gaia's forehead.

"Terence?" Gaia uncomprehendingly whispered.

A/N: What's up with Terence? You'll see in the next chapter. Keep reviewing and I'll reward you with more chapters!
