Chapter Three: It's Too Late
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The world was black for Minatsuki Takami as she heard little more than crackling behind her. Slowly, her grey eyes opened and she looked around, sitting up carefully, knees bent and a hand on her head. It hurt, and it felt like the world was spinning on forever without her. With a frown, she realized that she was alone, and that the bus was behind her, on fire. The driver seemed to be missing, or dead, and after a moment she grinned.
"The true magic of Silent Hill." She offered, gingerly rising to her feet and brushing off her knees. Dress flaring a bit when she turned suddenly, the bus giving a terrifying heave before it seemed to blow, sending her running deeper along the road. It curved at one point, and she came across was looked like a scrap yard. Among a few other random items, she found a crowbar that she picked up, and a radio. It was quiet, for now, but she'd heard that when a monster was nearby, it would alert her. Stumbling a little, she realized her knee was scraped up a bit, but otherwise she was fine. As she made her way down the road, a flashlight flickered at her from under a pile of what appeared to have been a backpack, and with that in hand, she tried to find her way through the mist.
Suddenly, the radio began to play fuzzy static, and she whipped around to see a rather disgusting creature shambling towards her, its arms and face missing and chest opening up. Acid spilled on the ground before her, and she was in action, quickly bludgeoning the thing to death with a few swift smacks to the head. Once it was down, she slammed her foot down on its neck, seeming to have done away with it. Frowning a little, she turned and screamed.
"Is that the best you got?! I know there's more of these fuckers around!" But her radio didn't make a peep, and she stalked off, obviously upset with the 'great Silent Hill', for now. Wandering down the road, she found what appeared to be a tourist stop with a bathroom overlooking the lake. Shrugging, she turned towards the bathrooms, making her way through the chilled fog as though she were just here for the sights.
Upon entering the bathroom, she was unpleasantly surprised that nothing was in here. Moving to wash her face and knee, she was left vulnerable for a monster prowling about outside. Already, blood covered her face and dress, but it didn't seem to care for her cleanliness as it suddenly pounced, appearing to be a woman without a face and claw-like hands. Struggling to get off of her knees, she hit at the creature that didn't seem to want to back off. Her crowbar on the sink, she couldn't reach it, calling out for anyone to help her as she felt it sink a claw deep into her forearm.
Finally managing to crawl away, she grabbed the crowbar at the creature lunged for her once more. It seemed Silent Hill was ready to teach her a lesson in gracious behavior.
