Author's Note: No Beginning Notes, Enjoy the chapter.
Time – 3:00 am
The monster before me looked like a humanoid figure that was on fire. It's body held several bullet holes that I didn't cause. Two of them were in the forehead and the rest were scattered all over the body. I turned around as the monster fell to the ground with it's fire extinguished. I saw Lana with a glock in her hand, smoke was coming from the end of the barrel.
I went towards her. As I did, She lowered her gun. That's when I started talking.
"Lana, thanks for that, but I had it all taken of."
"Nicholas..." she coughs out some blood after saying my name. I guess the ampoule needs more time to take affect. Although, I must say, it was odd hearing her use my real name.
"Your weak right now, don't talk. You should stay here and recuperate. I'm gonna go to Alchemilla Hospital."
She gives me a questioning look that pretty much asked, "Alchemilla Hospital? Why are you going there?"
I replied, "I'm going to Alchemilla Hospital because I have some "unfinished business" to take care of. I will come back for you."
She nods her head at my reply. Then, she closes her eyes and lowers her head. For a second, I thought she was dead. But before I panicked, I heard her breathing. She was taking deep, long breaths; I guess she is just taking a nap, she was must be really tried.
Lana looked rather peaceful when she sleeping like as if she doesn't have a single care in the world...despite her wounds. Then, I noticed that she had one of those hand-held flashlights in her other hand, the hand that didn't held the gun. I guess she was expecting the town to be dark too.
I guess I might as well go to the hospital now. There wasn't much else I could do here, but then, an idea occurred to me. So, I went behind the cashier counter, grabbed the keys labeled "General Keys", I also scribbled a quick note for Lana, and left the keys, the rose petals I picked up earlier, and the note in front of her. As I left, I locked the door behind me. I want to keep Lana as safe as I can.
I was back on the foggily streets once again. I took out my map as soon as I knew the coast was clear. The hospital was only about a block and a half away. The hospital itself was on the corner of Crishton and Koontz St. I wonder what the hospital is gonna be like.
A few minutes later, I was in front of the hospital. This was the main entrance of the building. I went up to the door and found that the door was locked. Then, words suddenly appeared on the door as soon as my hand left the handle.
The words says:
There's a hole in a wall.
Keys are within.
Only then, will you enter the halls.
A hole in wall? I don't think I like where this is going. I guess I have to look for this hole. That is when my radio started emitting static. There was a monster or a creature nearby.
Out of the fog comes a nurse-like monster. It looked exactly like the one from that dream. The "nurse" had a small scalpel in her hands. She came up to me and made a movement that told me she was gonna try to stab me in the face with her scalpel. Thinking quickly, I grabbed her hand before she could touch me with the blade.
After she felt my touch, She kept trying to stab me. She even tried to force it through my grip by using both her hands. But before the blade got any closer, I pushed the blade (and herself, I might add) away. Then, I pulled out my Eagle and fired about three bullets at her. After each shot, she would let out a small, muffled scream.
After she goes down, my radio was still emitting static even through the nurse was dead. I reloaded my Eagle and walked around the perimeter of the premises to try to find out why my radio was still emitting static. After walking for about three minutes, I saw why my radio was still going off.
In front of me stood Viola's ghostly figure once again. This time she didn't look at me, She was looking at something in the wall of the hospital. She sticks her transparent arm into the wall and after that, she disappears and as soon as she disappeared my radio stopped with the static. I went to where she stood only a few moments ago. Turns out she was looking into a hole that was small enough to fit an arm into.
I peeked into the hole and saw a glimmer in the darkness. I guess I'm going to have to stick my arm into the hole like Viola did. So, I did. Soon, I felt the keys and grabbed them. But before I could pull my arm out, I felt something very strong trying to keep my arm in the hole, I felt my arm being pulled in more.
I resisted the force that was trying to keep my arm in the hole. Soon, I managed to pull my arm out. My arm was covered in blood, I hope I never have to stick my arm into a hole in the wall again. In my hands was a key. It was labeled, "Alchemilla".
I backtracked back to the entrance of the hospital and unlocked the door with the key I just got. Then, I walked in. Since, it was dark, I turned on my flashlight. The lobby of the hospital looked like what you would expect. There was the waiting room and the front counter.
On the counter of the desk was a notepad. Right when I was gonna read it, my radio goes off again. My eagle was still in my hand from the nurse that I killed outside. But this time, the upcoming monster sounded different. I heard metal scraping against metal.
I quickly went behind the front counter, hid behind it, and turned off my flashlight. Out of the darkness, I saw two glowing red eyes. The sound of the scraping metal was obviously coming from this monster. For a moment, I felt the eyes looking in my direction. Then, The sound of scraping gradually quiets down and then soon, I hear the sound of a door opening and closing. The scraping metal sound (and my radio static) disappears after the door was opened and closed.
I got up and turned my flashlight back on. Right when I was gonna go on, I remember I was gonna read the notepad that was on the counter.
The notepad said this:
I made it to the hospital. I was told to come here by Dahlia. She also gave me the "Flauros". I don't know what I'm gonna use it for. Before I left the school, I think I saw a little girl in the boiler room. But, she disappeared before I could do anything.
Finding Cheryl is why I'm here. Everything else can wait till later. I gotta find her.

Author's Notes: Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
And we finally come across something that has filled Silent Hill since James came. Holes. I couldn't resist putting holes in this story XD
I probably could have written more on Harry's Note but I didn't want to drag it out. And plus, I had to remember what was going on in the game at the time. I hope it's accurate.
The nurse that Nicholas fought in this chapter is based on the ones that Travis Grady faces in Origins.
The new monster that Nick faced in the hospital lobby is gonna be like Nick's Pyramid Head; Except this monster represents something entirely different.
Inventory Time
Weapons
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. I had previously lent it to Lana Pendanski until I found it on the corpse of a monster.
.50 AE Desert Eagle (Pistol) - 7 / 14: 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 / 25 (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 x02: 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.
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
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.
Savior's Note: Found in my pocket. A note from the one that saved me from the tunnel. It's the same note about the valves from the same tunnel. Turns out that Lana Pendanski was the one that saved me.
Urban Apartments Map: Found at the entrance to the apartments. Discarded because I won't be needing it anymore.
Petal Fragments: Found on the streets of the town. The fragments had originally come from Lana's white rose. I had left them with Lana back at the mini-mart.
