Part Twelve

Untitled Jealousy and Forceful Guardians

"Should we go now?" The words left my lips but wished we hadn't really needed to go.

If you're ready, I'm ready. Loki smiled softedly, leaning against a wall.

I rose up from the bed and stretched wishfully. I was ready to face what was out there but who was this 'Vincent' guy that Loki and Douglas were talking about? The monsters seem abit more easier to deal with than actual humans other than my companions at this point in time. If this weren't some freaky shit going down, I'd say I would be relieved to see a human rather than a monster. Anyway, I started for the door and Loki followed right behind me, knowing that I was ready but he couldn't know what thoughts were raising through my head and the butterflies that ailed my stomach.

Then I came out to see only about the thickest fog on earth. This fog was incredibly, no wait, supernaturally thick and I really couldn't see a thing around me let alone go to a hospital and meet up with some guy. Loki took notice that I could only see about a foot ahead of me and said he could see everything like there wasn't a fog at all and thats when he lead the way and I followed him closely, trusting in him that he knew where we were going. Shotgun in hands, Loki would shoot monsters as we approached them and I felt safe around him, the only time I really did feel that particular feeling and maybe a feeling of puppy love. I really didn't know what to make out of my feelings for him but right now, I knew that he was trying to help me and I felt something I really hadn't before.

I didn't notice that he stopped and I bumped into him with an oof. He went forward a step and asked me if I was alright. I said yeah but deep down, I was so confused about what this feeling I was getting for him but right now was definitely not the time or place for that. He then told me that we were infront of the alleyway to "Heaven's Night". I looked down the alley way to see a silhouette of a tall slender figure seemingly watching us. I looked to him, hoping he would say, 'Screw meeting this guy, lets find leonard.' but I was wrong. He mumbled a lets go and lead the way towards the man decked in a brown themed outfit as he came into visibility.

"What do you want?" I asked, the bespectactled man smirking as his oily brown hair that ran down to half way down his neck was ran through with one of his hands.

"Jumping right for the throat, are we now Heather?" The man smiled like an ugly snake, "I heard Claudia killed your father. I would send my regards but your father was just asking for it."

"Don't you DARE talk about my father like that!!" I snarled and Loki held my arm, restraining me from multilating him.

"I didn't mean to offend you, but he did steal you away from us." He said, I struggled against his hold so I could punch his face in, "He should have known this would have happened."

Is that all you have to say to her or am I going to let her kick your pathetic ass? Loki snapped and his grip on me loosened and I pushed towards Vincent.

"Calm down, big guy. I also want to say that I hope you kill that bitch Claudia." Vincent said to me and I stared at him, "She deserves to be killed by you, Heather."

"Yeah, thanks...lets go Loki." I said as we retreated and Vincent rose his voice to say:

"Make sure to get the seal from Leonard!"

Okay, this guy is a nutcase. Loki and I got to the hospital's front doors and he turned to me when we were in reach of them. He told me that 'Brookhaven Hospital' was built after the other hospital, Alchemilla, was closed(and then reopened) due to a plague that swept the town and there was a need for a second hospital. I replied with that hospitals were creepy and he smiled, reassuring me that he couldn't agree with me any more than he already does. I chuckled and asked if he was ready.

I have a bad feeling about this. Loki said as he held the door open and I smiled and went in.

As Loki came in, I heard odd footsteps coming around the corner. I turned on my fashlight(that I found in the mall and put in my chest pocket) to find myself to a nurse that was hunched over and armed with a steel pipe heading our way. I raised my gun and Loki had bet me to the firing. When I got half a round in her as Loki was reloading, she went down and we looked to each other with relief. After that big ordeal, we explored the area to find a map of the hospital and an open room with a diary and a doll.

"Did someone leave this here recently?" I asked Loki, hoping that he would somehow know or have a clue.

I can't tell. Its recent and whoever was here must be somewhere else now. Loki mused as I began to read outloud the diary.

"This day has finally come. That's right --- the day when you and I will meet. I was always thinking of you, here in this gloomy cell. I never even knew your name or face until today. But now I know. I know you're the one I've been waiting for. And haven't you been waiting for me too? Thats why you came to rescue me. Oh, how I love you Heather. I want to give you my prized doll, I made it to
commemorate our meeting, the start of this everlasting love. Ah, I can already see your smiling face." I read and almost threw up and before I could do such a thing, I added, "Stanley Coleman"

Stanley Coleman? Loki said and when I looked at him, he had a little bit of jealous anger in him.

"Are you okay? You look abit...angry." I said, hoping he would calm down but yet again, I was completely disgusting by this guy.

You seem to have a weird stalker after you. Good thing I'm here to make sure he doesn't hurt you right? Loki joked, trying to get over the initial protectiveness he had when I read the diary.

"Yeah, and he can keep his dolls." I replied, trying not to think what that guy would do to me if we did meet, "Do you think he is still here?"

I think so but we don't have a too high enough of a chance to meet him. He probably is locked up in a room somewhere where we can't get to him. Loki smiled and patted my back, Lets go and try to find Leonard or maybe Stanley if he knows where Leonard is.

"Right, on to Leonard." I said as we marched out the room and left all of Stanley's things behind.

What would feel like an eternity, we walked through the second and first, finding that a key to the stairwell was stuck to a wall but in another room, we found something to get it out and when we came across doors requiring us to get some numbers. Stanley kept on writing diary entries to me and leaving those freaky as hell dolls behind of me...no, it was of Alessa, my hair was short and dyed blonde, and I wouldn't wear a red dress like that. Anyway, we kept on trucking until we finally got to the third floor and we were investigating rooms.

Thats when we got into Room S12. We went inside to find a normally small hospital room with a phone. Loki stood by the door as I went closer to the phone to hear it start ringing. We looked to each other and I hesitantly picked it up and put it to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked, and almost immediately, a voice answered.

"Claudia?" It asked and I shook my head though he could not see it.

"No, I'm-" I began but then he interupted me.

"Don't lie to me Claudia. You're always trying to run from your responibilities." The voice ranted and then continued,"Have you come to apologize or maybe you still don't realize how foolish you been? The 'Salvation Of All Mankind', What a ridiculous dream!"

"Wait, just listen to me for a second!" I blasted at him, hoping he would stop confusing me for that hag.

"I've heard enough from you already." He replied still and my patience started to grow short, "How did you turn out this way? Where did I go wrong?"

"Listen to me already!" I finally snapped, "I'm NOT Claudia!"

"You're not Claudia?" He breathed confused.

"My name is Heather." I informed him and there was a pause.

"Heather...?" He sounded even more confused.

"Who are you?" This phone call was getting stranger and stranger by the minute.

"Leonard Wolf." The wraspy voice replied and I held in my shock, "I'm sorry, I thought you were my daughter."

I took a minute to put it together and then the rage almost bursted into my voice, "Claudia is your daughter?"

"Oh so you know her, do you? Are you one of her followers?!" He asked me angerily and the anger in my voice began to bud.

"No. Never." I muttered to him loathingly, thinking about that wretched woman, "When I find her..."

"I can feel the hatred." He said and I gasped inwardly.

"What?" I looked over to Loki to see he was looking at me with a great deal of concern.

"Behind your words...the anger. You plan to kill her don't you?" Leonard asked and I didn't really know what to say.

"I'm sorry. But she...she killed my father." I stuttered to him, holding back the intense emotions I still felt about what she did and what I wanted to make her suffer through.

"She's a fool but she is still my daughter." Leonard breathed and then continued, "I was going to forgive if she changed her ways but I see its too late. Heather, will you help me?"

"Help you?" I asked, alittle curious by what he meant.

"I'm locked up in here and I must stop Claudia!" He declared and with it running through my head only once, it was a good enough cause to me.

"Where are you now?" I asked, looking over to Loki, seeing he was still holding a concerned look on his face.

"I'm not sure myself, but the door is at the end of the hall on the second floor. I think I can be of help to you." He instructed and then added, "I have a seal. Please."

"A seal?" I asked but he hung up, "The end of the hall of the second floor...?"

Who was that? Loki asked and then I filled him in on the phone call part that he didn't hear.

Thats when we made our way to the second floor. He warned me that he was really starting to get bad feelings about it and I told him that this whole place was one big bad feeling. He smiled and agreed, feeling something wrong coming up too. Thats when we arrived at the door and the end of the second floor hall and stood in awe of it. I looked to Loki and he looked to me. We were uncertain but with no where else to get to Leonard, I walked to the door and opened it to find the hell that was unfolding unto us now.

What the hell is going on? Where is Loki? I don't want to be alone in this place, or atleast without his company. Stanley seems to still be writing to me but now, I fear that he is progessing into a whole new area of creepy stalker. I hope I find Leonard and find a way to kill his disgusting daughter!
