Author's Note: No beginning notes, Just enjoy the chapter.

Time – 12:10 am

I felt the creature's ice-cold body against my own. I better get it off before I die from it's cool hold. Then, I felt another one of the beast on me. It felt like as if I was in the middle of a blizzard. An idea soon came to me on how to possibly rid myself of these creatures.

I reached for my pocket and grabbed my lighter. I ignited one of the creatures and it, soon, got off of me. I did the same to the other and it too got off of me. I soon felt my body heat returning to normal. I looked onto the monsters that I had set alight.

They were stumbling away. They were trying their best to put out the fire. Soon, they both fell onto the ground, their bodies still on fire. All that remained of them were just two pile of ashes.

I heard more of the echoing screams in the distance. I kept my lighter in hand and took out my map. The exit was close by. I just needed to go through two more halls and one big room. After that, I'm out of City Hall.

I ran towards the empty, frigid halls and soon arrived at the door to the big room. I took out my map and saw that this room wasn't labeled. I also noticed that my radio had stopped with the static. All I heard was nothing but my own breathing. I looked towards the frozen door and saw that I had a puzzle to solve.

On the door, inscribed, it said:

Four plates on a door.

The flame purifies all trust.

Blood, sea, wood,and stone.

Under the little inscription were four frozen tablets. One was brown, another was red, grey, and blue; in that order. I stood there trying to figure out how to solve this. I know I need my lighter, if the second line says, "The flame purifies all trust".

Then, it occurred to me. Blood is red, the sea is blue, wood is brown, and stones are grey. The door had them all mix together. I probably have to burn the tablets in the order that it is said in the poem. I took my lighter in hand and got ready to start some fires.

First, I burned the red tablet. Followed by the blue. Then, the brown. And lastly, the grey tablet. I watched as each tablet caught on fire.

Each tablet burned. Then, the fire on each tablet disappeared. Each tablet, then, slowly got pushed into the door. After each tablet got pushed into the door, the sound of clicking could heard. The door was unlocked.

Then, a symbol appeared on the door. It was one huge symbol. It had two circles. Each circle had symbols on them. I don't know what the symbols mean. In the inner circle was three more circles. Around the three circles were a few more symbols.

I opened the door, ignoring the circles, and walked in. I found myself in a huge, open room. In the middle of the room was an office cubicle and standing in front of it was a blue, transparent figure. Behind the cubicle was a large block of ice. I called out, "Viola?". I hear a chuckle echo in the room after I said her name.

I heard my name being whispered back at me. The whisper sent chills down my spine. I walked up to the figure and saw that it was the same young, ghostly figure that I saw back in the library. She smiles at me.

Then, she speaks...in Viola's voice.

"Nick. What are you doing here?"

"I...I'm not sure anymore."

"Nick...I know that ever since I died, you haven't moved on with your life..." ; I felt chills when she said the word, "died".

She continued, "Nicholas, I can't rest in peace knowing that you haven't moved on..."

"Viola, when you died, I didn't know what I would do. Thoughts of suicide had crossed my mind. But, each time I tried, I couldn't do it. It felt like...like I still had something to contribute to this world."

"That something is living your life...You still have your whole life ahead of you. Your 21. Your still young."

"But..."

"Damn it Nick, My soul can't "live" happily knowing your still suffering."

"Your right, Viola. I guess...I'm going to have to accept the fact that your dead and move on..."

"Thanks Nick, I'm glad. That's why it pains me to do this..."

She places her hands behind herself, closed her ghostly eyes, and walked backwards. She walked through the cubicle and disappeared into the big chuck of ice. The cubicle disappears and the room starts shaking and trembling. I hear a loud growl coming from the ice block. And it, spontaneously, breaks into many pieces.

Inside the chuck of ice, it turns out, was a huge monster. This monster didn't look as monstrous as the previous monsters. It was just a human body floating in mid air. Around the monster was small diamond-shaped pieces of ice. The monster's arms were covering it's face from my view, the way she was covering it's face made it look like a girl who is sobbing.

When this monster appeared, my radio started, once again, emitting static. Through the static of the radio, I could make out Viola's voice. She said, "Please forgive me, Nick.". The monster lets out another growl without moving. I had my sawed-off shotgun in hand; I had taken it out when my radio first started discharging the static.

The monster started by hovering over to me. But, I proceed to empty four slugs into the creature. I had to reload after every two shots. The creature started shooting the diamond-shaped ice, I managed to dodge a few, but I felt one of them slice through my leg. I'm going to have to patch that up later...the creature was out of diamond-shaped ice, good news for me.

She stopped hovering and staying floating in one spot. I heard a deep breathing sound coming from the creature. And the diamond ice started forming around it again while it was floating around the room. I took this chance to fire my shotgun at it, using about five buckshots. After each shot, I noticed that the creature would flinch and a small amount of blood would come out of the creature.

I kept firing slugs after slugs at the creature before it would fire it's ice diamonds. After the (I think) sixth shot, the creature lets out a shriek loud enough to break glass. The creature falls to the ground and starts squirming around. After a few seconds, it stops. Then, I hear Viola's voice as clear as crystal. She says, "Thank you, Nick...for everything..."

Right after I hear her words, I'm met by a blinding flash of light. Then, I saw nothing but darkness.

The last thing I heard before I blacked out was a bell tower chiming in the distance.

Author's Note: And that is chapter 12. Hope you enjoyed it.

This monster was somewhat inspired by these monsters you fight in this old rail shooter game that's out for the PS2. It's called "Vampire Night". Good game, actually.

The poem on the door is called a "Haiku".

Say goodbye to the ice world because this is the last time you will see it in this story. And that includes the bell chiming.

Inventory time:

Weapons

.50 AE Desert Eagle (Pistol) - 7 / 17: Exchanged for the Beretta; Found in the police department. Better then the Beretta in terms of stopping power. But it has three less bullets and a slower firing rate. But it is still worth taking.

Steel Pipe: Found in the tunnel. A pipe like this is usually used in plumbing. But it makes for a nice melee weapon. About three and a half feet long.

Sawed-Off Shotgun - 2 / 28 (Bucks), 05 (Slugs): Given to me by Herman as he died; Exchanged for the pump-action shotgun. It has five less bullets then the Pump shotgun. But with this shotgun, I can shoot and reload faster. It is also stronger then the pump. Totally-worth taking.

Health Supplies

Health Drink x03: A drink with limited healing properties. Comes in grape or strawberry flavors. Yum.

First-Aid Kit x01: A medical kit that comes with many healing supplies inside. Takes time to use it, but it is worth it...usually.

Important Items

Flashlight: In my chest pocket. Always handy whenever I have a blackout in my house (which happens often). Can be turned on/off.

Radio: Found in Goods N' Sales. Emits static whenever there is a monster nearby. Can be turned on/off (though it's not very helpful when it's off).

Silent Hill Map: Found in the Town. Pretty self-explanatory.

City Hall Map: Found in the guest room.

Lighter: Found in the Library. Just an ordinary lighter. Can melt small pieces of ice. I decided to keep it with me, might come in handy in the near future.

Herman's Diary: Given to me by Herman as he died. These are his last words. Totally-worth a listen to.

Discarded Items

Butterfly Knife: A rare knife that isn't sold in retail stores. I had to order it online. Can't stress enough about how sharp it is. It is currently not in my possession. I gave it to Lana, so she could defend herself.

White Rose: Found at the entrance to the library. Beautifully crafted. Belongs to Lana Pendanski. Given back to her in "Fred's Cafe".

Silent Hill Library Map: Found on a library chair. Like the town map, it's self-explanatory. Discarded because I won't be needing it anymore.

Urban Apartments Map: Found at the entrance to the apartments. Discarded because I won't be needing it anymore.
