Revival

...Judgement of the Messenger...

1st Person Mode

I heard voices around me. I felt a bright lamp glaring upon me, but I couldn't open my eyes. I was too tired to move. Was I alive?

"She still hasn't come out of the coma?" asked one man.

"No, it's been more than a month and she's still in the coma," answered another.

"How long is she expected to be in it?"

"I don't know, man! I can't tell how long someone can stay in a coma!"

"She was in that fire in Silent Hill," said one nurse. "Remember when the Gillespie Cathedral burnt down?"

"She was involved in that?"

"We're not really sure, but investigators have been suspecting that she started it. They're not so sure, though, because they found remains of other bodies that had been burned before the fire."

"A crematorium?"

"Yes, but it was still intact for the most part. It seems that the crematorium had been built on top of the roof."

"And people are getting suspicions that the crematorium is the reason for the smog in Silent Hill?"

"Silent Hill is a big town," said one man. "The smoke couldn't be carried that far."

"Well, in any case, the fog has uplifted, and people can actually get into the town now."

"What do you mean?" asked the nurse.

"Before, people couldn't enter the town because it was blocked by miles of chained fences and locks," explained one man. "I'm not sure who would go through so much trouble to keep everyone out of a deserted town, but.."

"What happened to the residents of that town, anyways?"

"I heard rumors that the crematorium drove them away, but I think it's fishy that the town seemed perfectly peaceful until that Gillespie woman started running that Cathedral. Since then, no one has visited the town."

"A cult got started?"

"Who knows?"

"Gillespie? Didn't one of the bodies that were recovered go by Daniel Gillespie?"

"Ah, yes, the murderer. He killed more than a hundred people in that town after his father, Walter Sullivan."

"Like father, like son, I always say," said the nurse.

"He's served time by arson before," said one doctor. "but he claimed that he didn't kill anyone, nor did he set fire to anyone's home."

"Clearly insane, just like Sullivan."

"But he was an incest child. Dahlia was both his mother and grandmother."

"Ugh, disgusting."

"Well, all of that filth is gone now, from this world."

"So, what of this girl?"

"We found an empty locket around her neck, engraved in the back was the name 'Unique Du'Shat.'"

"Unique, indeed," said the nurse.

"So, what will we do with her?"

"Just keep an eye on her. That's all we can do until she wakes up."

One Month Later...

"And following is our top story," Unique heard on the local news, her eyes still closed. She eased them open for the first time in nearly three months. "Locals are recently driving into the reopened town of Silent Hill after the Gillespie Cathedral was burnt down nearly three months ago."

"Three months..?" Unique whispered. She sat up slowly, her body aching.

"Now that the fog has uplifted, and the mysterious fence has been torn down, many residents from local towns have come to restore and explore this forgotten place. The population has begun to really boom within the last month, and everything is moving along smoothly."

"But what happened to the original residents of Silent Hill?" asked the other anchorman.

"There were rumors of a cult that was being involved within the Gillespie Cathedral, but it seems they may have been driven out by the crematorium burnings above the church."

"And below," continued the anchorman. "It seems that hundreds of bodies were found below the church grounds, and were being burned when room was insufficient."

"Were these the residents of Silent Hill?" asked the other anchorman.

"Investigators are still looking into that, but they are also looking into who started the fire of the Cathedral."

"Many people say it was started by the burning crematorium, but suspicions are looking towards Unique Du'shat, the only remaining survivor of the ruins of the Cathedral."

"Bullshit," Unique whispered under her breath. She reached for the remote by her side and switched off the television. She pulled herself from off of her bed, and fell to the floor, her legs, unresponding. "Three months," she repeated. "Have I been asleep that long?"

She crawled for the bathroom, feeling naseated. She pulled herself to the toilet and began vomitting.

"Ugh, what's wrong with me?" she said, her body beginning to shake. She layed on her side, her body having convulsions, her skin turning pale. She held her stomach. "Stop the pain!" she screamed, her eyes tearing.

"Dear God, get me some help in here!" one doctor screamed as he stepped into her room.

"Is this the one that they suspected was pregnant?" asked the other doctor.

"Yes! Get her into the emergency room, stat!"

"Yes, sir!" said the other doctor, and helped Unique's shaking body up onto a stretcher.
