Chapter 26: Drew's Fate

As we arrive at the gate of Silent Hill, the gate is open as we drive through it, just like it was when I left.

As we slowly close onto the city, my mind begins to wonder.

Did my brother really leave…?

"…Hey Valtiel…since you know who comes and goes through Silent Hill, did my brother ever leave? I'm sure you know which human he was…"

Valtiel doesn't respond for a while, seeming to be either thinking or deciding upon something. The fog returns and engulfs the car as we enter the city.

I stop the car as we return, once the car goes into park the engine dies.

Valtiel then grabs the bag from the back seats.

'No. He never left Silent Hill…'

I knew it…he lied to me. Of course he did.

Valtiel then places a hand upon my arm just as I move to leave the car.

'Do not do anything foolish now that I have informed you. There are reasons for actions taken, just as there is a reason that information was held from you.'

My eyes lock on him, "And why was it held from me…"

'Many reasons could be why. Such as your reaction, at that time we were trying to learn your origin, if you knew he did not leave you could have endangered yourself or made the process of learning your origin even more difficult.'

I look down at my lap, taking in his words as I then leave the car as he does the same.

'I will lead you to Alessa, once we arrive, you are on your own.'

Nodding, I follow him as he leads me to the hospital.

As we walk to the hospital, my mind floods with what I have just learned.

Is he being held somewhere?

Is he dead?

"Do you know what happened to my brother…?"

Valtiel seems to sigh as he realizes I am still on the same subject.

'Do not linger on this. It will not do any good.'

"I will linger on it! He is my brother, you may not know how it feels to have family, but I do! Please just tell me…"

His head lifts as if to glance at the sky, possibly in pity.

'Alright…he was executed.' He stops walking as if ready to stop me from making a wrong move towards him because of what I have learned out of flooding emotions.

I stop as well, looking away from him.

"…And you seen this? Or heard it…"

'Seen.'

"…You didn't think maybe you should save him…?"

'What could I possibly have done, Hecate? The demon and executioner finished him, I would not have gotten far. All I could do was spectate.'

Tears swelling in my eyes, I look away from him.

"Okay…let's just go."

Valtiel nods as we resume our walk to the hospital where Alessa awaits.

Soon we arrive in the depths of the hospital at Alessa's door. Valtiel hands me the bag.

"You aren't coming?" I ask, taking the bag.

He shakes his head, 'I have no reason to, I also do not enjoy being in the presence of that demon.'

I nod in response as he turns away and climbs into a vent, turning around I then open the door to the room, the demon no where in sight, neither is Pyramid, but Alessa and her nurse are present, as her nurse avoids me. I approach the bed, seeing Alessa is asleep.

'Do not awake her, Hecate.' The demon speaks to me in my subconscious.

I nod and place the bag on the floor as the demon approaches me from the shadows.

She then takes the bag, investigating its contents.

'Good, good.'

"…You killed my brother…" I turn to face her.

She faces me, tilting her head very little, 'Drew? Ah, I already forgot about the soul.'

Anger and sadness grow within me as I watch the evil being before me.

'Your emotions are spiking, Hecate.'

"Of course they are…"

'He was not your brother, nor family. So why feel vengeful?' The demon says, gathering the medications from the bag and placing them in the shelves of the room.

"He was family to me. All I had left…"

'Had, is exactly it. Now you have Alessa, a blood relative who will not die anytime in the near or distant future.'

Sighing, I change my thoughts, knowing getting angry and acting up won't get me anywhere but death. Which at this point would probably be better for me.

"Where is Pyramid…?"

'Wherever he decided to get himself into his dilemma he is currently in.'

"Huh?"

Pyramid's pov

The pain in my neck…

Is excruciating…

Slowly my senses return as I become conscious, slowly I rise my head, my neck aching terribly.

Taking this moment to recall what happened, my memory comes back to me.

The human is gone.

A deep, inhuman growl erupts from the depths of my chest as I slowly rise to my feet.

She must have grabbed my helmet's nose, threw my head to the side and snapped my neck, which is fairly simple to do considering the weight of my helmet and the size of it.

I turn my head to face my weapon as I then grab it and pull it out of the flooring, using my senses I try to locate the girl, she is nowhere nearby.

She just had to break my neck. Just wait until I find her again. I will break more than that of her's.

Leaving the room, I head out of the building as Alessa's evil side notifies me of Hecate's return, ordering me to return to Alessa's room to tend to Alessa, which I obey.
