Mm'kay, now it is time for chapter seven. And another thing that is completely irrelevant; does anyone know how I can play Minecraft without having to download a bunch of rubbish? Seriously, I'm afraid that if I have to download some Java bullshit that I'll end up with a virus again, and then Mum would be PISSED. I do not need that again, because we only have ONE computer, and that's the computer with all of my files. SO, leave your answer in the reviews and here is chapter seven.

Edd shook nervously as he ventured through the halls of Brookhaven Hospital. Looking for Mellie was proving to be a difficult with only one person. He had forgotten how big the hospital was; it was almost twice the size of the one Edd worked at back in Peach Creek.

He wished that he had gotten something to protect himself with, but Eddy had the gun and Ed had forgotten his crowbar in the church.

He did his best to push the fear away and continue his path with the hospital map in hand. He had a difficult time trying to read it whilst shaking like a leaf in a storm. Being located in the pharmacy on the first floor, he took advantage of the situation and grabbed antibiotics. There was no way on Demeter's green Earth that Edd would simply pass them up. Even though he'd only suffered a broken nose, he feared that it wouldn't be the most painful injury he would gain when in Silent Hill. He wished that he'd been able to give them to the others, but since they weren't there at the time, he'd have to carry their share until they could.

That was when he heard it.

His head poked out from behind the cabinet door and strained his ears, it was a perculiar sound, like a combination of someone walking in a stumbling manner and someone clinging to the wall for support.

He slowly walked outside of the pharmacy and looked right, down the hallway that led to the Day Room, and then looked up ahead, where the Director's Room was. A average sized woman was standing before the door, limping, and holding to the wall as if to steady herself. Her nurse uniform appeared old-fashioned, as if it were a stereotypical 1960's uniform. It was covered in blood, dirt, and other staining substances. Her hair was slightly matted beneath her cap, and gauze was wrapped around her head. Edd was unable to see the front of her, but had become genuinely concerned.

"Ma'am?" he called quietly.

She stopped in her tracks and turned to him, revealing a slightly disturbing sight.

Her eyes were mostly covered in bloody gauze, and her mouth was bleeding as well, showing grotesque teeth.

"GOOD LORD! Are you okay?"

She stumbled towards him with something in hand, Edd couldn't really tell what it was until she lifted her arm. It was a revolver.

"W-Wait, I-" Edd was cut off by a gunshot, which barely grazed his leg. He jumped back and behind the door of the Pharmacy room. "I'm trying to help you!"

He heard another gunshot, and then what sounded like a feminine grunt, followed by a thud.

Edd stood behind the door, silent, wondering if it were a safe idea to go back into the hallway.

He sighed and pushed the door open, to see a familiar woman, standing there with a crowbar above the nurse's body.

Her dark hair covered her face, but Edd recognized her immediately. He knew the paleness of her skin, the black curls gently framing her fragile looking body, and the small scar on her hip when her shirt rose slightly.

"Mellie?"

She turned her head to find the one who called her, and had a smile for a split second, until she heard the siren.

Eddy cursed under his breath, of course this would happen when they were separated. Although he'd never admit it, he was frightened that he'd run into Pyramid Head again. He shuddered; one encounter with Pyramid Head was one too many.

He sighed, although he could see clearly, he wished that he couldn't.

Seeing wasn't really much when you couldn't see the path you had originally taken.

Beside him on his left, was a place called Heaven's Night, which to him, sounded like a strip club. The street was relatively empty and Eddy couldn't really tell if that was a good thing or if it was bad. He expected to see several lying bodies, and maybe even the frightening Pyramid Head, but no. He saw only an empty street and run down buildings as he quietly walked.

Inside him, his heart was beating frantically, but on the outside he was calm and cool as he traveled up the street.

Then that god-awful sound. The sound that would forever haunt him in his dreams. If I'll still be able to sleep...

He looked further up ahead to see Pyramid Head coming.

Without another thought, he turned on his heel and dashed back towards the direction he came from. He felt horrible for not going back for Ed, but he'd be no use if he were dead. Eddy would just have to go find him when everything was safe.

He passed Heaven's Night again and saw the tall building of Brookhaven Hospital. If it were even possible, it appeared more sinister than it had in the fog world.

Alena twisted the jacket, trying to get as much water out of it as she possibly could. Ed was glad that the gun stayed in the pocket, otherwise they'd have no protection and would have been lost in the depths of the lake.

"So we're back to this?" Alena asked, looking to the crimson skies above her. She nearvously rubbed her arms, wondering if they were going to run into any monsters.
"It seems that we are. How's the map?" he asked.

She pulled out o the jacket pocket and gently opened it. Nothing was washed away and thankfully, the water hadn't completely soaked through the paper. Decent condition, I suppose... It could be worse. Should we go ahead and go find Edd and Eddy at the hospital?"

He nodded, "And the bullets?"

She fished around in the pockets of the jacket but sighed, only six of the fifteen bullets she grabbed still remained. She checked the gun itself, seeing that there were ten left. It could be worse, she tried to convince herself, but she still had the urge to curse like a sailor and throw something (A/N: Because the author totally wouldn't do that...)

Ed sighed and helped her up. She shoved her arms through the slightly stiff sleeves of the drying jacket and turned off the safety of the gun, "I guess we should go?"

He navigated them through the park safely from the docks back to several park benches without encountering any monsters.

Alena strained her ears when she heard laughter.

It was so faint that she'd never expect Ed to hear it as well, but her first thought was wondering how a child was there. The second thought, was her realizing that there were no children around at all.

Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me...

But another laugh contradicted her self-assuring.

As Ed navigated through the park, Alena stopped when she saw a young dark haired girl in a long dark dress. She stood underneath a willow tree just smiling at her. Alena recognized her, but where?

Remember the nightmares...

Her real mother's face suddenly appeared in her mind. She didn't know how, but she knew that her mother was whispering something to her before never seeing her only daughter again.

"Though I can't know for sure, how things will work out for us, you have to realize... that we weren't put on this earth to suffer and cry. We were made for being happy, so... be happy. For me. For you, please."

"Alena?"

She looked towards her friend and then back to the young girl, but saw no one.

What the hell...?

Alena shook the feeling of dread from herself and joined Ed, who was nearing the entrance of the park.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

She shook her head, "Thought I saw a gun, but it turns out that it was a stick." she lied cooly.

He bought it and nodded, "We should go." he said quietly.

And so they walked out of the park, wondering what else was waiting for them.

Edd embraced Mellie in a heartbeat, causing the girl to almost squeak in shock.

"Mellie, my god, you're alive!"

"Double D, what are you doing here?" she asked, still holding on to him.

He pulled away so he could look at her, "Ed, Eddy and I had orgainized a search party to find Ed's little sister." he answered, "Where is Chad?"

She sighed, trying to not cry, "Chad was killed by some, Pyramid headed thing." she choked out.

Edd patted her back in an attempt to comfort her. He couldn't imagine what she was feeling at that moment while she sobbed in his arms. For a split second, he didn't notice the sound of metal scraping against cheap, old tile.

His first thought was Pyramid Head, but the sound was too light. He looked down the hall to see another nurse dragging a long piece of metal. It wasn't a crowbar, but it looked as if it could inflict damage.

"How 'bout we discuss this later?" Edd suggested.

Mellie weakly nodded and pointed to a door near by, "We can hide in here until she goes away." she quickly ran to it and opened the door.

"Reception Office." Edd read from the sign on the wall. As he entered, he noticed how much it didn't look like one. It had the essentials. A desk, file cabinet, bookshelf, etc. etc. But it looked more as if it survived a natural disaster and the post apocalyptic crazies that followed. Papers were on the floor, unevenly distributed on the cold tile.

Mellie was already barricading the door as if she had been through this situation many times before. She rolled up the sleeves of her black sweater and wiped the sweat from her hands on her black jeans.

She probably was...

"Mellie, have you seen anyone else?"

She looked up from a large leather chair that she was pushing against the wooden door, "Um, there's a girl on the third floor. She's suffering from an infected wound, and I was trying to grab some antibiotics for her. Unfortunately, I ran into a few of those nurse things on my way to the Pharmacy Room."

Edd thought for a moment, "Did you catch the girl's name?"

"Hmm... Sarah... something. I can't remember her last name. She has red hair, kind of short, blue eyes..."

He was stunned honest for a second, until he finally recovered. "Sarah Mason." It wasn't a question; he easily thought of her when hearing Mellie's physical description.

"Right! How did you know?"

"She's Ed's little sister. A few days after you and Chad disappeared; she did."

Mellie was silent after hearing that. She felt a small twist within herself as a wave of regret filled her. Part of her wished that she could have somehow pulled some magic treatment for Sarah's infection out of her ass, but another told her that she needed to get back to her quickly.

I hope she's okay...

Sarah pushed the matted red hair from her forehead, that kind nurse she met couldn't be far. She silently waited for Mellie, and stayed silent to avoid the attention of more monsters.

She fumbled with the hem of her lavender skirt, staring at her black converse. She made an attempt to bring her knees to her chest, but she was too tired. Her white button up shirt was stained with her own blood on one arm, but was mostly covered in rust particles and dirt.

Her head was feeling light and she was growing restless.

And I thought Eddy's scams were bad...

She felt faint, her vision fading with every dizzying breath she took. She couldn't tell whether or not it was due to the infection or the lack of rest.

Man, I really did a number on this...

Unfortunately, she still remembered how she received the nasty cut.

She had been walking through the alleyways behind a set of apartments two days ago, trying to avoid the Pyramid thing that was chasing her down. Not only that, but several twitching, writhing lying figures were snaking their way to the red head as she tried to run, faster and faster.

She had tripped over something, and landed on a piece of broken glass. She successfully lost the attention of the monsters, but then had the issue of trying to pry the glass out of her arm.

Then, after getting it out (after failing painfully a few times) she had the problem of keeping it clean and covered. That's what caused the infection. That's why she was sitting on the floor against the wall, trying her damn hardest to stay awake.

She sighed and permitted herself to close her eyes.

It wasn't five seconds later when she reopened them to see a young man that she easily recognized. How could she not remember him? After nearly twenty years of failing scams and attempts to scratch his eyes out, it would be impossible to not remember the short, black haired, leather jacket wearing young man standing before her.

"Eddy?"

"Sarah?"

AUTHOR'S NOTES

Jesus Fucking Christ that may be the slowest-written chapter in this whole story. I am so sorry that it took me two weeks to update. Honestly, be surprised that I managed to update tonight, because I had to take an AP exam. I swear, my brain is still slightly fried.

I would also like to make it known that since I only have a week left of school, I have more time on my hands. And although I have more time on my hands, I tend to lose inspiration (especially since I was about to start a short story based off the game about The Midnight Man) and I need a little more inspiration to get my ass in gear.

So I went on a dig in my closet and found an old mp3 player that still works. Legit. Still works. And I came rainbows the second I listened to the first song since several years ago.

Well, I hope you guys have enjoyed this. I'm glad that I've been able to introduce another two of the main supporting characters.
