I do not own anything except my characters!

Please review! Okay, this chapter is going to have my theory of what Valtiel is and his background, or at least what my Valtiel's background is. I'm sure some people will be like "THAT'S NOT RIGHT!" But you know what. MEH. It makes things more interesting.

Chapter 17: Valtiel's Truth

"Who wants to meet me?" I ask.

'Your sister.'

"Alessa? So…she really is my sister…did Drew tell you that…where is he…"

'Yes, he did tell us that. We let him go, he is where he belongs.'

"Thank you so much for not killing him…" I say, relieved he left,

'Yea, yea. Come on.' He says, leading me out of the Laundromat and down Crichton St. and to Alchemilla Hospital.

As we get closer to the deepest part of the hospital, apparently where Alessa lies, things get even creepier as we run into a giant group of those damn nurses, which causes me to stop.

Pyramid then looks back at me, 'They will not harm you, as Alessa has ordered them not to.'

I remain silent in case what he says is false, but I slowly follow him as the crowd of nurses begin to move, avoiding him as if he is giving off some kind of repellant, or maybe they know better than to be near him…either way they are avoiding him.

Following behind him, we approach a room, before we enter a figure appears before us, stopping our access to the room, the dark Alessa.

Silence fills the area, more than there already was.

I observe as the two seem to be communicating.

Pyramid's POV

'Why have you brought her here?' the demon asks.

'Alessa requested to meet her. I am only doing as I was requested to.'

'And my opinion does not exist here? No one gets to see her but caretakers. You know this clearly.'

'The human girl cannot harm Alessa in any way possible. I will protect her if anything goes wrong, as protecting her is my reason for existing.'

The demon nods as she disappears, allowing the human access to the room.

As we enter, I allow the human to go first as she enters the room, immediately seeing the hospital bed in the center of the room.

"Where is she?"

'Inside the bed.'

She seems to investigate as she peers into the plastic covering.

Her hand covers her mouth in shock at the sight of my creator.

Hecate's POV

Staring at the horribly scarred girl before me, my brain begins making the connection to the dream I woke up to.

"Burn the witch!"

"Burn the witch!"

"Burn the witch!"

Is this who was in my nightmare…?

"…Hecate, is it…?" The woman speaks slowly, her blue eyes locked on mine.

"…Y-yeah…and you are Alessa…Gillespie…?"

"…Yes." She responds, seeming to be talking slow to not hurt herself.

"What happened to you…?"

"…Members of the church who used to also run my elementary school labeled me a witch because of powers I was born with and because I didn't know my father…my mother knew about my powers…so did my principal…neither could keep a secret…next thing I knew everyone knew about what I could do. Many days of bullying led to a day where I was forced to take refuge in the girl's bathroom…little did I know the janitor was also in there…my principal took the opportunity of my rape to talk my mother into 'purifying' me…she realized too late what she had done to me."

As she takes a break from talking, I take this opportunity to end it, "You don't have to say any more…I seen what happened…in a nightmare I had last night…"

She nods.

"…So, how did you make him…?" I ask, looking at Pyramid who is working on refilling her IV fluids.

'A picture I seen before the 'purification.' She says telepathically to me, seeming to be done talking aloud, 'I created him to be sort of like a bodyguard…he obeys anything I ask him to do. A protector and executioner of mine.'

"Executioner? How many of those do you have? I know you have more than one…that red one I have met…"

'I only have four right now. Three here. Red Pyramid, White Hunter, and Pyramid, or the Executioner, whichever you want to call him.'

"And the fourth?"

'He is called the Boogeyman, he lives in a city close by called Shepherd's Glen.'

"Why? Why don't the others get to spread out like that one does?"

'Boogeyman was incarnated in Shepherd's Glen, not here in Silent hill like the others have.'

"Oh…anyway…I seen some kind of creature recently…I only seen its arms though…it saved me from some freaky thing with sharp legs like blades..."

'It may have been Valtiel.'

Pyramid continues tending to Alessa, impressing me with how caring and gentle he is being to her.

"Valtiel?"

'A creature I created near the time I created Pyramid. I didn't create him I guess…he just appeared here. What he told me is that he was once an angel and was casted out of heaven, fell and landed here in Silent Hill. The demon must have found interest in him and consumed him with the darkness. Having been such a powerful creature, he still carries with him some powers and the caring heart he used to have, which is why he saves humans commonly even if the demon doesn't agree with him. He protects and serves the Order's god now, he is a neutral entity between us and the Order. Serving both when possible. But no one has ever really seen him, I haven't even really seen him very much…'

"Oh. Why does no one ever see him?"

'He tends to remain very isolated and independent.'

"Ah." I nod.

Pyramid then speaks in my mind, 'It is time to leave. She must rest now.'
