Chapter 2- The Nightmare Begins
Point Man slowly stood up the sad darkened tone of the world around him seemed to be weighing down on him as reality set in that he indeed was no not asleep nor dead. The world around him was real and he was once again lost in despair. The oppressive emotion eminated inside the room as he looked around and realized he lived his life to suffer ever since joining F.E.A.R. He wondered to himself what were his reasons for originally joining this organization? Thinking back he couldn't figure out why he did, or at the very least he could not find a very good reason given where this orginization had taken him since joining.
The Point mans' thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of groaning coming from upstairs. Slowly he headed towards the stair case and as he did he could hear whispers from no apparent person as they sounded as of more than one persons. "In your nightmare you will suffer. Death is not even an escape. Suffering is all you will find. Torment and insanity will be what you reap for eternity." The voices were many and all sounded as childrens voices would. Reaching the stair case Point man walked up the steps halfway leaning against the wall in pain and as he got higher up the old wooden stair case, it creaked and the groaning above soon turned to the sounds of a womans terrified shrieks of pain and misery.
The world around the Point man seemed to be fading into black and white, the color around him was becoming lost and the smell of death weighed heavy over the air. Creak, the sounds continued as he went up the steps. The air was getting heavier the further up he got until he reached the top of the steps and he could see a dark hallway ahead, the wooden floor replaced by the same checkered tile below. Staring ahead he saw a woman with long hair in a white dress laying on the floor with her back to him sobbing in pain, and it was apparent that she was suffering as well. The Point man then heard whispers behind him and turned to find the stair case he had come up was no longer there and behind him was blackness with a long pathway that seemed to be a part of the hallway now. It looked pitch black and nothing could be seen.
The Point man heard coughing and agonized groans coming from the woman and so he returned his attention to in front of him where the woman layed. Continuing forward the Point man soon reached the woman and as he stepped forward into the bright light felt a sickness in the air. The woman he'd seen before was coughing again and as she did he noticed she was coughing up black blood from what he could tell in the black and white world he now stood in. Point man soon bent down crouching rolled the woman over on her back. It was at this moment he was shocked at the sight of the womans face!
The womans eyes were gapingly wide open and they looked blood shot. Her face screamed someone who was terrified and lost. Praying to die almost however she said nothing as she seemed dead. Suddenly she gasped for breath and grabbed both sides of the Point mans mask soon whispering through her desperate gasps "Make it end, make her stop! P...L...E...A...S...E...make her...S...T...O...P! Right before his eyes the Point man watched as the womans grip was lost as she was ripped away from the Point man and quickly drug into the darkness! As she was she gasped and screamed in desperate heaves as she lost her breath and her fingernails were heard screeching across the floor till on broke off her hand sticking into the tile. Soon she was gone and a wooden door slammed shut!
"Hehehehehehehehehehe..." The low whispers trailed off around the Point man and he soon walked towards the door of the room the woman was drug into. Slowly he walked and soon gripped the knob of the door turning it. The door opened with a long and slow creaking sound. The woman he had once seen on the floor now sat in a chair in the middle of the room her head hung low and her hair in her face. She was motionless as suddeny color restored itself to the room and the door slammed shut behind the Point man locking as well. The sound of laughter could be heard again resonating throughout the room which was wide and appeared to be an attic. The wooden floor with wooden wall and ceiling which branched as if the top of a house gave the Point man a feel of fear and uncertainty as to what might be in the room with him if anything.
His fear grew all the more apparent as with every step a creak could be heard. The woman still motionless was in the only lit place in the room aside from the occasional light the lightning in the background of the window at the end of the room would give. Rain poured outside as well but everything was deathly silent and thunder could not be heard. As the Point man got ever closer to the woman it was clear the blood he had seen was indeed black and it soaked her once white clothing. A heart beat was now heard and it was slow but fighting with every beat to keep going.
Another step closer and the heart beat became louder but the beating more slow and completely desperate for life. Finally the Point man reached the center of the room and soon found the woman blood flowing from her mouth motionless. The heart beat had stopped now and to his shock the womans head lifted and fell back revealing black blood flowing from her eye sockets which no longer had eyes. The Point man fell back in fear of what had happened.
Then the room turned cold and the heart beat could be heard again only this one was racing as the womans mouth moved screaming and pleading for help before she fell silent and limp in the chair. Jumping to his feet immediately the Point man turned but when he did he heard the womans head lift and as his back was turned to her he heard a sick and very sadisticly dark laughter that made him grow cold with fear. The woman soon stood to her feet and pulled a knife from her clothing. The sharp blood ridden thing looked like it could impale anyone and end his life quickly.
A fluctuating woom could be heard and the Point man turned around finding the woman was missing. His only way out seemed to be either out the window or through the door he came through. Turning around though he soon heard the woom and saw the sight of the terrifying woman flicker before him in front of that doorway before reappearing closer to him. She walked ever closer with a smile so twisted and black blood smeared across her lips. The poin man felt a cut soon on the arm that tore through his heavy body armor and then he saw his blood on her knife for which she continued twistedly smiling as she licked the blood on the knife and soon faded again.
The laughter continued and the Point mans eyes widened in horror and fear as he had no idea where the woman was and the laughter circled him. The woman reappeared and faded again several times as he struggled to to find where she was. Her hair was brown but stained in blood and the Point man soon ran towards the window hoping to break through it as she appeared in front of the doorway again and the light in the room began flickering. Unfortunately for the Point man as he reached the window the lighting struck and behind him he could see the womans reflection before she disappeared and he was grabbed soon being thrown to the floor and pulled backwards to the chair.
It was here he was let go and so immediately stood up and spun around to go for the wooden door but was met with terrifying sight of the woman he'd met before and her knife now into his body armor and in his stomach. The knife was pulled from his stomach and the Point man looked down after feeling his stomach seeing blood coming from his stomach and also seeing it all over his hands. He soon fell back into the same wooden chair the woman had been in before and looked up at the woman who's face struck pure terror inside of him. Everything was getting blurry and the laughter that rang out now was growing fainter before finally his head dropped and passed out.
The final sight was that of him in the chair and the woman staring at him before he finally passed out from loss of blood.
