Chapter Three
Idiots With Candles
"IN THE GAME, THE FIRST PLACE WALTER HIT WAS THE SUBWAY. THUS IF WE GO TO THE SUBWAY, WE SHOULD FIND MY DARLING WALTER! LET'S USE THIS TRUSTY MAP I FOUND TO GET THERE!"
Maria/aka "Random Friend" glared at her. "Is there any particular reason why you are screaming into that megaphone?"
"NONE WHATSOEVER!" Katie responded.
Her friend grabbed it off of her and hit her with it. "Idiot…"
Katie went on, unphased. "And now to find Walter!" She unfolded a rather large map.
Maria cried out. "How the heck are we going to find anything on that!"
"Don't worry!" she was reassured. "This is a Magic Map! It immediately marks off all areas you have already been to and circles the place you need to go next."
"What kind of nightmare is this..?" Maria moaned.
"Well, you see, in order to complete the 21 Sacraments-"
In a flash, Maria placed her hand over her friend's mouth. "NO WAY! I am NOT sitting through that sob story again! You are your obsessive pity on a freakin' SERIAL KILLER!"
Katie pushed her away. "I'll have you know, that Walter never TOUCHED a box of cereal in the game, not even once!"
Maria let out a frustrated scream. "You are HOPELESS!"
Five loooooooong minutes filled with singing and annoyance later, in the Subway…
"Are you SURE you read the map right!" Maria asked.
""Of course! We're here, aren't we?" Katie took a bite out of her sandwich.
"I really don't think this was the "Subway" featured in Silent Hill 4…" Maria said with a sigh, getting out of the booth. "Besides you shouldn't eat anything you find in this world."
Five more freakin' minutes later, at the REAL Subway…
"Okay…" Katie gave the illusion of being thoughtful. "All we have to do is look for that slutty chick Cynthia and follow her until she is brutally murdered by my sweet Walter. And then we'll snag him!"
Maria just stared at her. "Riiiiiight…Really sweet of him to murder some poor, unsuspecting girl…"
"Hey, it's for a good cause!" Katie said in his defense. "He could have done a lot worse!"
"Yeah, like stuck her with you…" Maria muttered under her breath.
"Did you say something, Random Friend?"
Maria twitched. "My name is Maria!"
"Come on, let's hurry before we miss all the gruesome parts!" Katie said, completely ignoring her again.
Soon after the start of their quest, the two girls run into a familiar, yet confused face.
"It's Henry Townsend!" Katie cried, pointing.
The young man saw them and held his candle like a light saber. "Aha! Monsters from the darkness! I shall smite thee with my super-awesome Candle of Light!"
Katie pulled out her trusty letter opener. "I know it is wrong to hurt the crazies, but anyone who tries to stop me from finding Walter must be eliminated."
Maria scratched her head. "Does he really intend to fight monsters with a candle? It's not even lit…"
Just then, Henry pushed a button on the side of the candle and a katana blade popped out of the top.
"What the HELL!" Maria screeched.
At this moment, a woman in tight, revealing clothing-Cynthia, Maria guessed- came waltzing out of the bathroom. She sighed when she saw what was going on. "Henry, what did I tell you about pulling out your sword in public?" she scolded in a foreign accent.
But he paid her no mind and let out a yowl. "DIE, DEMONS!" Katie and Maria just barely dodged out of the way as he started thrusting his sword forward repeatedly at an incredible speed, and his blows hit Cynthia instead.
By the time Henry finally stopped, Cynthia was laying on the floor in a pool of blood, stab wounds all over her body. He let the candle/sword fall from his hands and dropped to his knees beside her.
"My God, Cynthia…Are you ok?"
Even in her immense pain, she managed to glare at him. "Yeah, I'm fricken' great." She coughed, blood spurting out of her mouth.
"Thank goodness, you really had me worried for a minute there…"
With her last ounce of strength, Cynthia cursed him. And then, she was dead. Henry finally realized this and began to cry. It was actually kind of moving watching him mourn her, then leave carrying her limp form, tears still in his eyes.
Even Maria found herself getting choked up. Katie sniffled. "I know how you feel…" She wiped at her eyes with a bloody rag. "We were THIS CLOSE to finally meeting Walter!" She broke down sobbing.
Maria face-falled. "Moron.." She muttered into the concrete ground.
