Silent Hill: Beacon Of Hope
Chapter Three
Stepping inside the dark and eeire school, Amaris searched it's surroundings.
Deathly silent, even the sound of a pin falling, would break it's unerving presence.
"Hello? Is anyone there? Joanna? Darren? Where are you?" She called out.
"Damn it, Dahila is a lying bitch!" Amaris cursed, stomping her foot on the floor.
A sheet of dust threw up landing at her face, she coughs violently until it disappears.
Suddenly, a flash of someone ran by that grabbed her attention. It looked awfully like Alessa.
"Hello?" Amaris cried, running down the coridoor and entered a classroom where the little girl stood proudly by one desk.
Seeing Alessa right before her very eyes was a chilling sight, she couldn't igorne the trembles of her body.
"Are you Alessa?" Amaris asked, walking very slowly towards the girl. The unnerving stare from those black orbs made her freeze her steps.
"Amaris, save me." was all Alessa said before disappearing like a ghost. It took several moments for Amaris to shake off the trance.
Her eyes fell on the desk where the girl stood, fingernail markings had "Witch" all over it. A pang of dispair entered the teenager's heart.
"Amaris?" Cried out a familer voice. She looked up to see Joanna who looked a little bruised and bloody but she seemed to be okay.
"Oh my God, I'm so glad you are okay!" Amaris wailed, rushing to hug her friend in a tight embrace. They pulled away after a few seconds.
"Have you seen Darren?" Amaris asked. "I'm right here." He called out, coming towards the pair. They went to meet him halfway.
"I'm so glad I found you guys, what the hell happened to you?" Amaris asked, taking Darren's hand. Joanna explained the unbelieveable story.
"Yeah yeah yeah, now we have discovered each other, can we get the hell out of here?" Darren suggested. "I argee, let's go." Joanna nodded her head.
"But wait! We can't, I have to save Silent Hill!" Amaris cried. Darren let go of her hand and stared at her like she was mad or on pills or something.
"Are you crazy? We nearly died because of this craphole! I'm leaving and if I have to drag you out of here, so be it!" He snapped.
"I'm not going anywhere, Darren. I'm saving this town and if you don't like it, then tough!" Amaris shouted, pushing him aside to go down the coridoor.
Joanna followed Amaris and stood right in front of her. "I know it sounds mad but I'm staying here too." She decided. A wide smile went across her friend's face.
"WTF? I thought you wanted out of this place?" Darren moaned, stomping towards them. "Well, a girl can change her mind, you know." She replied, with a shrug of her shoulders.
He combed his fingers through his hair, cursing and shouting to himself. "Thanks Joanna, I really mean it." Amaris said. "Don't mention it, now let's get out of this school." She replied.
Suddenly, a loud and wailing air raid siren echoed with it's chilling warning. All three had rushing shivers down their spines as the sky was turning from a gloomy grey to a deathly black.
"Follow me!" Amaris cried. She and Darren ran a lot faster than Joanna but luckily, she caught up with them both. They headed to the toilets for a place to hide as the siren faded away.
Like she was in a trance once more, Amaris walked towards one of the toliets to find a man tied up in the most disturbing and gruesome way. There was something in his mouth.
"Don't you dare bite me, asswipe!" She warned as she steadily reached to grab it only for he to bite her but she was quicker by smacking him hard across his face. He instanly let go of her hand.
Igorning the bite marks, she barely managed to see what she had in her hand as the whole place was crumbling and under a dark red eerie glow. Amaris looked at the tied up man who stared right back at her.
Joanna screamed in terror while Darren looked like he was crapping his pants, it was too much for him and soon collapsed in a dead faint. But strangely, Amaris wasn't afraid not one single moment.
Taking out a bottle of water from her bag, she undid the cap and slowly pointed at him. "Here, have this." She said, kindly. Joanna rushed towards her, giving a wtf stare at her friend but Amaris didn't reply.
The man sipped greedily, savouring every single drop until there was nothing left in the bottle. "Thank you." He sighed, a pair of brown/reddish eyes burned into Amaris's orbs. There was something about him...
"What's your name?" She asked, folding her arms. "My name is Colin, I know I must be a terrifying sight to you but I'm not as bad as Xuchilbara." He replied, shuddering. Amaris frowned at the odd name.
"Who's that?" "Someone you should never encounter, he has a pyramind for a face and has a massive sword he drags about around this place." Amaris gasped, she was shocked but strangely in awe.
"So what happened to you?" Joanna asked, stepping closer to Colin. "Alessa. She was the main cause of what happened to me and to Silent Hill, we misjudged that little girl. She didn't deserve the pain."
"What, you knew Alessa?" Amaris asked with concern in her voice. "Yes, I did something so cruel to her. Christabella promised me the money to save my daughter who was going blind if I molest Alessa only for her to betray me. If you find Christabella, don't trust her for a single moment." He explained.
Though Amaris should be angry and disgusted at Colin's actions, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. "Please tell me what really did happen here." She pleaded.
So Colin told the pair of the terror, the sickening pain Alessa went through, the fire that killed many and how this place is still haunted by the horrific events.
Amaris and Joanna were moved by this chilling story, it drove Amaris to save this town even more while Joanna was shaken and upset over poor Alessa.
Suddenly, large scrapping sounds came dangerously close to the toliets. "What the hell is that?" Darren said in a loud voice as he started to stirr from his faint.
"Keep him quiet!" Colin cried. "Darren, shut up!" Amaris said. But it was too late. A terrifying massive sword pierced through the door, everyone screamed except one.
Amaris stood up and watched Xuchilbara kick down the door, his pyramid head was a terrifying sight to anyone else but to her, she wasn't afraid which was extremly strange.
Darren looked on in horror, just what the hell was his girlfriend doing? "Babe, get away from the pschyo!" He cried but she didn't listen. Joanna gave him a look that made him shut up.
Amaris stood just a few meters from the tall and horrifying man, her eyes looking up and down at him. By now, he would have done her in but why did he stop at this girl?
Slowly lifting her hand, she waited for anything to happen. But before he could rise his own, shots were fired at his head. It broke the trance between the pair.
"Get some of this, dirt ass!" Yelled Cybil as she pulled the trigger several times. Xuchilbara turned around, rising his massive sword but the air raid siren wailed once more.
"NO! NOT NOW!" Amaris cried as she watched him and Colin fade away along with the darkness until everything was back to normal. She sunk to her knees and began to sob.
Joanna rushed to her side, comforting her friend. "What the hell is her problem?" Cybil asked, pulling Darren up from the floor. Rose entered in the room, her eyes instanly fell on Amaris.
"Leave her alone, Cybil." She ordered, rushing to her side. The teenager looked at Rose, the softness in her eyes calmed her trembling body and stopped her flow of tears.
"Come with us, there's a place we discovered that is safe before the air raid siren came." She said, offering her hand which Amaris took. Rose helped her up off the floor.
Not a another word was uttered, what just happened filled their minds yet none could bear to bring it up as a subject to talk about as they exited the school and headed on forward.
