Silent Hill: Beacon Of Hope
Chapter Seven
Amaris awoke with a nagging pain across her head.
She looked around to see only Rose and Colin that were with her.
"Ugh, where is everyone and where are we?" She asked, groggly.
The pair noticed her and dashed to her side instanly.
"We are in the lowest parts of the hosptail, I'm not sure where everyone else went." Colin explained.
Amaris feared the worst for Joanna, Jason and Cybil.
"My God, we have to find them!" She cried, stepping up only to stumble at the agony that shot through her.
"Damn it, Darren really hit you hard huh?" Rose said, softly.
Amaris looked at her in horror.
"No way, he wouldn't do that." She protested.
"I'm afraid he did." Colin said, sadly.
She spun her head to face him, he wasn't lying.
"So he's joined with Christabella, I guess?" Amaris asked.
"By the looks of it, yes. She has a power to comand people to become bad, no wonder most of townspeople are violent." Colin replied.
"What do we do then? I need to find Sharon fast." Rose said.
"We better get out of here before Dark Alessa comes." Colin suggested.
"Huh? Dark Alessa? Is there two sides with her?" Amaris asked him.
"She's very dangerous, she would instanly kill anyone that dares venture here so I think it's best we find a way out of here." He explained.
"Oh, I don't think so." Said a creepy voice.
The three turned to see Dark Alessa standing there with rage in those terrifying eyes of hers.
"Just what are you doing here and why is he free?" She asked, pointing straight at Colin.
"When you tie someone's hands on their heads, make better use with something else than razor wire." Amaris replied, digging it out of her backpack and showing her.
A slight smile went across her face, it stunned them all.
"I like you, Amaris." She said, still grinning.
"Hey, how the hell do you know my name?" She snapped.
"Oh, my good side knows a awful lot." She replied, stepping dangerously close to them.
"Do you know where Sharon is?" Rose asked, opening her necklace and showing her the picture inside.
"Mmm, why should I tell you a thing? You're a adult, they are demons." Dark Alessa hissed at her.
"Oi, leave her alone. She was just asking her a question." Amaris said, standing up for Rose.
"Watch yourself, Amaris." She warned, burning a angry gaze at her.
"Well, at least reply to the woman's question, then." Amaris cried, rising her hands in the air.
"Very well. Sharon is with Christabella, she's going to burn." Dark Alessa replied, staring straight at Rose who collapsed on her kness and began to cry.
"Don't worry, we will save her." Amaris said, comforting her.
"Oh, I don't think so. How are you going to escape?" Dark Alessa teased.
"If you don't shut up, I'll tie this wire over your mouth!" Amaris hissed at her.
Colin tensed, waiting for the worst to come out of the little girl, only none came.
Amaris turned to Rose, her tears were rolling down her face in a fast pace.
"It's okay, she will be alright I promise you." She said, softly.
Rose looked at the teenager, the hope in her eyes was enough for to stop crying.
"Thank you Amaris." She whimpered.
She nodded her head, then helped Rose off the floor and looked straight at Dark Alessa.
"Tell us a way out of this hole now." Amaris demanded.
"Only if you listen to my story." Dark Alessa said, folding her arms.
The teen puffed out a annoyed sigh.
"Look, we don't have long. Her daughter is going to die, I need to find my friends and save this town from this ever-lasting hell. Your story will have to wait."
Dark Alessa stared coldly at her, then shut her eyes.
"Fine, there is a door at the very end of the room. Good luck in saving Silent Hill, if you do. I don't have much hope for you." She said, reopening her eyes only to not have rage in them.
Colin frowned at Amaris.
"I think it's a trick." He whispered to her.
"We have to go ahead with it, even if it is or not." She muttered back.
"Thank you, Dark Alessa. We will go now." Amaris said, out loud.
The girl stepped aside, watching them walk right past her with a evil grin across her face.
She won't do anything, for now. But a plan was forming in her mind, one that would cause more chaos.
"Amaris, can I have a word before we leave this place?" Colin said.
They were near the exit at long last after walking along the darkness for a good twenty minutes.
"Sure, what do you need?" She asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"Um, I would like it in private if you don't mind, Rose." He replied, looking at her.
"Fine, I'll go through the doors and wait for you." She said with a faint smile.
They watched her leave, then they were alone. Just the two of them.
"Amaris, er. I... um." He began, struggling with the right words that were in his mind.
"What is it, Colin?" She said, igorning her raging inpatience burning inside of her.
"I... think you are very brave in doing this." He uttered, cursing himself of not saying the real truth.
A wide grin went across her face.
"Meh, Alessa called me, I'm here so I might as well try." She said, with a shrug of her shoulders.
"But there's something about you Amaris that I can't deny, a feeling that I should igorne but can't."
"What feeling?" She asked, rising a eyebrow.
"It's.. just.. I-" Before he spoke a another word, a blood curling scream came from the exit.
Amaris and Colin stormed through the doors to find Rose hugging her daughter and Cybil came towards them.
"Sorry about the scream, just wanted to grab you attention." She said with a sly grin.
"How did you find her?" Rose asked, looking at the police woman.
"Dunno, I was wandering through this crap hole until I heard some crying until I discovered her hiding in one of the rooms." She explained.
"Wait, she might be Alessa. I have to be sure." Amaris said, butting in the reunion.
"It's Sharon, I know it!" Rose cried, hugging her daughter even tighter.
"But you don't know that." Colin replied, with added caution.
Amaris cupped the child's tear stained face, the innocence could be a lie and so was the fear in her eyes.
"What's your name?" She asked.
"S... Sharon." The girl replied.
Rose breathed out a sigh of relief as she rocked her back and forth.
Amaris went to stand next to Colin and looked straight at him.
"What do you think?" She said.
"It may be her, it may be Alessa. I'm just not sure." He said, digging his fingers through his hair.
"Well, whoever she is, we have to find Joanna and Jason and then get the hell out of here." Amaris decided.
So the five carried on walking.
