Silent Hill: Beacon Of Hope
Chapter Eight
Joanna hugged her legs against her chest.
Tears were flowing down her face like a never ending waterfall.
They had taken her away from Amaris and Jason.
She feared for them both: one was her friend and the other could be the love of her life.
This dark and unfriendly place freaked her out with each passing second.
She didn't dare venture from the spot she was on, someone would come and find her.
Would they? Somehow, Joanna began to seriously doubt it.
Colin watched Amaris chatting to Sharon like they were long lost sisters or something.
He couldn't deny that what he was seeing was a bittersweet moment but deep inside, it angered him.
That child broke the tender moment he shared with her, if there was no screams he would pour out his true feelings to her.
But did she really feel the same for him? The way she looked at Xuchilbara was not something of friendship at least accourding to him.
"What are you thinking about handsome?" Cybil shattered the train of thought as he turned to look at the blonde policewoman.
"Oh nothing." He replied, showing a fake smile.
"Don't lie, I know you like her. I can see it in your eyes." She said with a smirk.
Drats, how could she know that?
He looked away from her, cursing bitterly to himself.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of, Colin. There's something about her that would catch any guy's eye, her doofus of a boyfriend dosen't count."
"Look, I don't want this conversation right now so let's end it, alright?" He snapped, burning a intense gaze at Cybil.
Amaris, Sharon and Rose stopped to see what was going on. Colin turned to them, the frowns across their faces gave him a icy chill.
"What's the matter, guys?" Amaris asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"Nothing, let's carry on." Colin replied, showing yet a another false smile.
"Cybil?" Rose asked, looking right at her.
"Yeah, it's nothing. Come on, I want out of this craphole." She replied.
Amaris and Rose werrn't fools, lies were in their eyes but it would go unnoticed for now.
Did it seem possiable?
Was that voices just now?
Joanna thought one of them sounded awfully like Amaris.
She slowly got up, her legs trembling like jelly.
Her eyes looked out, searching for any kind of life.
But when she turned her head, pure horror was across her face.
The evil twin of Xuchilbara was walking along the eeire coridoor, sliding his spear along the floor.
It's unsettling scrapping noise made her run back to hide only to trip over something loud.
"Oh crap!" Joanna cursed.
She could hear it coming dangerously close now, her heart was at the back of her throat.
Was she going to die?
Closing her eyes, she silently prayed that this monster would go by without noticing her.
But it was in vain as it stood there, all mencing and terrifying.
Rising the spear up high, she let out a long and almightly scream that echoed the hollow walls.
"Oi, get away from her!" Amaris cried.
The evil twin spun around to see the teen, standing there, all alone with a smirk on her lips.
"Yeah that's right, leave her be. Have me instead!"
"No Amaris, don't do this!" Joanna shouted.
Tempation proved too much for the monster, it seemed like all it's dreams came true today.
Stomping towards Amaris in a frightening manner, Joanna stepped out of the room to see Colin, Rose, Cybil and Sharon join her.
"She's going to get killed!" She cried, bitting down her nails.
"She's not. Look closely." Colin said, pointing straight behind Amaris.
There stood Xuchilbara in all of his powerful glory, his sword held up high.
It was a battle between twins, one will die while the other will remain.
Amaris stood aside, watching it unfold before her very eyes.
It seemed unreal to meet up with Xuchilbara just a little while back but it didn't matter.
She was thankful he was here, protecting them instead of killing them.
With several slices, Xuchilbara the good stabbed Xuchilbara the bad killing him for good.
Silence filled the air for many minutes, not one of them thought it was possiable but it was.
Xuchilbara walked towards Amaris, holding the spear in his bloody hands, he soon gave it to her.
"For me?" She said.
A slight nod came from him.
"Perhaps this could be the weapon for Christabella." She suggested.
Joanna, Colin, Sharon, Rose and Cybil came to join the pair.
"Are you okay, Amaris?" Joanna asked, hugging her best friend tightly.
"Hell yeah, how about you?" She answered, pulling her aside to gather some air.
"Fine but have you seen Jason anywhere?" Joanna asked them all but they shook their heads.
Despair filled her bones, just where was he?
"Don't worry Joanna, we will find him and stop Christabella." Amaris said, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
She slightly smiled at Amaris but it didn't seem enough for her.
"Xuchilbara, do you know the way out of here?" She asked him.
He pointed at the direction where his evil twin came from.
"That must be the way, let's go guys!" Amaris ordered.
It didn't go unnoticed to Colin that she was holding Xuchilbara's hand.
A feeling was rushing through his vains, surely it wasn't... jealously?
