Comatose Overdose
Chapter Two
After being limp for several hours, Li couldn't help but wonder what the hell was going on. He couldn't feel himself moving but could see where he was going. He was at the wheel of a crimson-coloured 1989 Ferrari GT California, not sure of how he had even acquired such a glorious vehicle, and was driving along the motorway.
Suddenly, after what seemed like a 5 hour drive, the car came to a stop, and the mask spoke.
"I know you want to know what we're doing here.. And so, I'll tell you." spoke the voice, it's voice somehow deeper and darker than before, and inside his mind, Li could see an image of a twisted, crooked smile, glaring at him with jagged yellow teeth, slightly opening to prepare for another short sentence.
"The Black Death is a highly valuable killing machine, and we're not going to let his killing talent go to waste.." the voice now let out an unbearable screech so loud that Li's eyelids slammed shut, and he felt a warm liquid trickle down his check under the mask. Suddenly, he blacked out, the pain too much to bear.
He awoke several hours later in a daze, strapped down to the hospital bed he had originally woken up in, this time only in his underwear. The mask had gone.
He looked around the room, unable to find any signs of life. The place looked derelict and abandoned, like as though he had woken up inside a hospital that had been abandoned for several years. This only aroused more suspicions.
He heard a deep screech, somewhat like a grunt but at the same time loud and soul-shatteringly terrifying. His iris turned grey with fear, and he quickly charged his body with a severely powerful electrical current, destroying the leather straps which held him down upon contact.
He jumped to his feet, only to hear the roars getting louder; they were amplifying and duplicating. Where were those screeches coming from, and what in the hell caused them? He was fearing the worst. For the first time in his life, Li was undoubtedly terrified.
Looking around the unsanitary hospital room, as the growls neared, he saw a pair of clean blue denim jeans, an immaculate white shirt and some black trainers. He moved them to see if he could find anything of use to him, and there he found his knife and a pistol. He quickly put on the clothing and tucked the pistol into his trousers, not expecting to use it, but keeping it just in case. He took the knife into his right hand and hid behind a rusted cabinet, waiting for whatever was screeching to enter the room.
He waited, glaring at the rusted, dirty metal door, waiting for something to enter, but the sounds of screeching only got quieter, and eventually vanished.
He was curious as to why his incredibly clean clothing was in this filthy uninhabitable place. His queries stayed unanswered.
Lie sighed, and leaned his back against the wall he was crouched beside. Something caught his attention whilst sitting there. It was small and silver, shining beautifully the way the dim light caught it. He walked over to it and picked it up, inspecting it. It was a small key with the words 'Ward 102' inscribed onto it. He looked at the door, which was labelled 'Ward 102'.
Under the key was an envelope labelled 'to whoever occupies the realm of the living'. Questioning the words he had just read, he picked it up and inspected it's exterior. It was a pale white colour, with a red seal over it. He split the seal and began to read the letter. It said:
To Whomever This Letter Reaches,
Undoubtedly,
you are wondering where you are and why
you are here. Well.. You
are in the monster-infested town
of Silent Hill. How you got here
is a mystery, but the
point is that you are here, and there is
nothing you can do
about
it. The roads are sealed, the hospital is infested, and
worst of
all, every door you find that is locked will need a key.
We've all tried to break them down.. They're indestructible.
Good luck getting out alive, although, it will do you no good..
The gun you find in that ward is your only way out. I suggest
You take it generously. Do not waste the bullets.. Once they are
gone, there is no painless escape.. You will die here.
Oh, and if you're reading this Li..
We miss you. Please.. Wake up..
The final words made Li's hands shake, wondering who had wrote the letter. It was as though someone was reading the last part out to him, and the voice was somewhat familiar. The note itself had no meaning to him, but the last sentence and the caring words depressed him, as he could not put a finger on the name of the girl's voice he heard. He crumpled the letter in his fist, and took the key towards the door.
He placed the key into the lock, and all of a sudden, the screams were back, louder than before.. Bravely, Li swallowed, and turned the handle...
