My Adventures in Silent Hill
Me: I'm not adding in that Laura girl, she's annoying as hell.
Chapter 3
"I hate creepy buildings….."
"Shhh." James put a hand over my mouth. "I heard something coming from that door." He pointed to the nearest door on the left.
I was just about to bite his hand, but he removed it before I could. We quietly and slowly walked into the apartment and heard vomiting from the bathroom. We walked in and saw an obese man vomiting into the toilet. "Uh….excuse me?" I say.
The man stopped and turned to us with a cough. "Who the hell are yous guys?"
"Uh…..sorry, we just heard you…." I say.
The man stood up, wiping his mouth. "Yeah sure. Listen, I don't want anyone bothering me, so go away."
"Don't you want to come with us?"
"Leave!"
"Good idea." I grabbed James's wrist and hauled ass outta there. "Jesus! What the hell was his problem?"
"No idea. But let's keep looking."
We soon enough found Angela in one of the apartments, lying on the ground with a knife. "Angela?" I ask. "Are you okay?"
"No…..want to die." She answered quietly and stood up, facing us.
"Angela, give me the knife." James says.
"No…"
"Angela, we're not gonna hurt you." I slowly approached her and stretched out my hand. "Give….me the knife Angela."
"No!" she suddenly slashed my palm with the knife and ran out of the room in a panic.
"Gahh…." I groaned, holding my hand as it bled.
"Let me see." He gently took my hand and I winced. He looked around and found a rag, grabbing it and pressing it to my palm. "Keep pressure on it until I can find something to bind it with." He went looking around the room.
I winced again. "God….what's her problem?" I muttered to myself. "First a fat man and then a suicidal girl."
James walked out of the bathroom with a roll of bandages. He tossed the bloody rag away and very carefully wrapped up my hand in at least two coats of white bandages. "There. That'll work for now, but we'll check it later." He shoved the rest of the bandages into his jeans pocket. "Let's move on."
"Sorry….." I said quietly.
He blinked. "For what?"
"Being a burden."
"Why do you think that?"
"Back home…..everyone hates me. I always wanted to just…get away from that godforsaken place. I hated that place so much….." I sighed and looked at the ground. "Don't feel sorry for me and don't pity me. That's why I always prefer to be alone."
"You're not a burden to me Shell. I'm still confused on how you got here and all….but you're not a burden." He said, putting a hand on my shoulder.
I sniffed and slightly smiled. "Thanks. So, shall we move on?"
"Let's."
…
We walked down a hallway when we heard strange sounds. "Hear that?" I ask.
"Yeah. Let's check it out."
We walked to the source of the noises and…..wished we hadn't.
What was in front of us was a large, muscular man wearing a white, blood soaked robe and….had a large, red, triangular helmet and he was raping two creatures.
My eyes widened and I opened my mouth to scream, but James slapped a hand over my mouth and dragged me into a nearby closet, closing the door. "Shhh." He whispered. "I'm just as scared as you are."
The man (or monster) suddenly killed the two creatures and I made a groan of disgust, muffled by James's hand. The monster walked past the closet we were in, but suddenly stopped and I froze as it approached the closet, examining it. James grabbed his gun from his belt and began shooting at the monster.
The monster made a human groan of pain and then just…walked away.
I removed James's hand from my mouth. "What in the hell was that?"
"No…damn idea." He answered and put his gun back on his belt.
We left the closet and saw the two corpses on the ground. "Eww….." I groaned. "Let's leave before I puke." I muttered.
We walked down the hallway just when we heard a scraping sound.
"What the hell is that sound?" I ask.
"Sounds like….it's coming from….." he began.
"Behind us…." I finished and we both looked over our shoulders.
To see the monster from before, except it had a large blood-stained knife in its right hand. Before we could move, the monster's left hand lunged out and grabbed James around the neck, lifting him up as he struggled for breath.
"Let him go!" I grabbed a pipe and started hitting the pyramid head monster. As if it was annoyed, it lifted its leg and kicked me in the stomach, sending me flying at the wall, where I slid down with a pain filled groan.
Suddenly, a siren went off. The monster dropped James, who coughed due to the lack of air and the monster vanished into the darkness. The room became less….gruesome and I rushed over to James. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm alright." He stood up. "What was that siren?"
"Beats me. C'mon, let's head over to Rosewater Park."
…
As we approached Rosewater Park, I was thinking of how I got here and all that, when I saw a figure in the fog. It looked to be as tall as me and looked like a girl. "Hey you!" I shouted.
The figure seemed to turn in my direction, but then it ran off, disappearing into the fog.
"Hey, get back here!" I shouted and ran after the figure.
"Where are you going?" I heard James shout.
Panting heavily, I ran through the fog and stopped, looking around. I lost whoever I was running after. "Damnit…." I whispered. "Where'd she go?"
I then heard crying. I walked to the source of the crying and saw a girl sitting on the ground. Her back was towards me. She had dark brown hair and wore a blue dress with a white collar. "Hey….." I said softly.
The girl continued to softly cry. "Are you okay?" I ask and reached down to touch her shoulder. Before I could, she looked over her shoulder at me. I gasped. Her entire body was covered with burns and as she stood up, I slightly backed away.
"Shell…."
My eyes widened. "H-how do you know my name?"
The girl lurched towards me and fog suddenly covered her. Then it faded and in front of me….wasn't the girl…..
It was…..
Me.
I looked around for a mirror or something to see if it was my reflection. But there was nothing around me. "Who are you?" I ask.
The replica of me suddenly coughed, blood splattering onto the cold ground and slowly lurched towards me. I backed away. As it lurched towards me, wounds began appearing on its body, gashes, stab wounds, bruises…
The…thing…..coughed again, a trickle of blood flowing down from the corner of its mouth. "I….am….you…" it rasped.
My heart felt like it was gonna burst out any minute and then…it fell right down and with a small moan, I passed out right there on the grass.
…
"Un….." I groaned and pried my eyes open. I was on the ground. "Ow….my head….." I sat up, rubbing my head tenderly. I looked around and saw no one in sight. "How long was I out?"
"Shell!"
I looked over my shoulder and saw James rushing towards me. "Why did you run off?"
"I….." I stammered and sighed. "I thought I saw someone….guess I didn't." I stood up and shoved my hands into my pockets. "Let's just get to Rosewater Park."
