Author's Note: At the end of the story, I will post extras. By extras, I mean extras like Monster profiles (and their meaning), alternate endings (three has been planned so far), and story insight.

This chapter takes place after Nicholas reads Harry's Notepad (where Ch. 14 left off).

And also, as I'm writing this, I am, in real life, consulting a picture map of the hospital that I downloaded off of Google images. It's the map from the original Silent Hill.

Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Time – 3:30 am

I have always thought that Hospitals were a nice place to go to. They often had good food down at their cafeterias. You could come here if you might have a relative or friend that was in an accident. But not here at Alchemilla hospital. Here at Alchemilla Hospital, the halls are dark and (seemingly) abandoned; Not a single soul would be in sight.

I just got up out of my hiding place after hiding from this monster that had a heavy weapon of some sorts. I couldn't identify what weapon it had because of the darkness. But the coast was clear now. My radio wasn't going off which told me that there wasn't any monsters of any kind around. I guess it was safe to walk these halls...at least for the time being.

The hospital's waiting room and front counter are in the same room. The hospital's waiting room actually looked and felt pleasant. On the table in the waiting room were a bunch of old magazines from the fifties, a stethoscope, a map of the hospital*; I've take the map but they could keep the magazines. The magazines didn't hold any information that I would need right now and I don't think I'm gonna be needing the stethoscope.

I opened up the map to the hospital and looked at it with the light coming from my flashlight. From the map, I learned that this hospital had a total of three floors, plus, a basement floor. The second and third floors were mostly made up of rooms for patients to stay in. Each floor had an elevator, I hope these elevators worked because it would be pretty inconvenient if they didn't.

I guess I might as well start exploring this hospital. I should start with this floor; the first floor. The door to the examination room had a broken lock, so, I guess I won't be going in there anytime soon. Going out into the halls, I found that the door to half of the first floor was locked. The only place I could go was up the stairs to the second floor.

As I was going up the stairs, my radio started going off. In the distance, I heard footsteps. I walked up the stairs that led to the second floor and saw a nurse just down the hall, she hasn't seen me yet. In the darkness, I could see an outline of a lead pipe in her hands. I take out my shotgun and got ready to take her out.

I fired just one slug at her and she screams, feeling the impact of the bullet, and falls down dead. The radio was also silenced after she died. Wow, I never knew the shotgun slugs were this strong...but then again, I've only used them on one occasion. I should probably save the rest for when I really need them...unless I find more somehow. I went through the door that led to the rest of the second floor.

Entering the hall, I found that all was quiet and settled. So, I went ahead and checked all the doors that were in this half of the second floor. All the locks to the patient rooms were broken except for room 204. The door to room 204 was unlocked. The restrooms were both locked. And the door to the "Nurse Center" was open. I decided to go into the nurse's center first before going to the patient room.

In the nurse's center, there was nothing but medical supplies that I don't even know how to use, two health drinks, a strange looking painting, a scalpel, and a memo. The memo said this:

"To all staff, Rooms 205 , 206, 305, 306, and 307 has been closed for maintenance until further notice. The patient from room 206 has been discharged early due to the change. Have a nice day.

So, after reading the memo, I marked the rooms listed in the memo for future reference. I grabbed the health drinks* and the scalpel, and looked at the painting. The painting looked rather odd. It shows an overhead view of someone (couldn't make out who it was) hanging by what looked like metal chains and shackles in a dimly lighted room. And behind the hanging figure was a silhouette that had two glowing red eyes...This painting sends chills down my spine just looking at it. I should just leave it alone.

So, I backtracked to room 204. In the middle room 204 was a mannequin that had a masculine figure and it also wore a white lab coat. Next to it, There was the little tray that usually had a doctor's tools on it. Then, I noticed that there was a note in it's chest pocket. I took the note and read it. It said, "Nurse, get me my equipment. It's time to operate! The patient is suffering from third degree burns! We must operate or else he's dead!".

On the tray, there was a faint outline. The outline was in the shape of a scalpel. I (carefully) took out the scalpel I picked up earlier and placed it in the outline. On the mannequin, It had an outline on it's forehead and an outline around it's neck...Wait, an outline around the neck? Maybe I should have picked up that stethoscope that I saw in the waiting room.

Right when I was gonna backtrack to the lobby to retrieve the stethoscope, I noticed a head mirror hanging on a hook behind the door to room 204. I took the head mirror and placed it around the doctor's head. He was starting to look more and more like a doctor. But, he, of course, was still missing the stethoscope.

So, I backtracked to the lobby. On my way down, I encountered another nurse. She wasn't really a problem. I used two buckshots on her which took her down. Then soon, I found myself back in the waiting room.

In the waiting room, I picked up the stethoscope. Now that I think about...why is there a stethoscope here in the waiting room in the first place? Did a doctor left it here while he was waiting...for something? I guess I will never find out.

On my way back up, I encountered the monster with the red eyes. It sees me and starts running after me. I, of course, started running away. But I still had to go to room 204. When I saw it on the stairs, I saw it's full features.

It had a humanoid figure. The glowing red eyes, of course. The face was covered by a mask that I remember seeing on my old friend. Everything else (the body, the limbs, etc.) looked like it had third degree burns. Through the mask, the glowing red eyes could still be seen.

I ran into room 204 with the stethoscope in my hand. I closed the door behind me. I slipped the stethoscope around the doctor's neck. Right when I did that, I started having a major headache. The headache was so bad, it caused me to fall to the ground, screaming at the top of my lungs. Then, I heard the door to the room being broken down to pieces.

The monster's figure appeared at the edge of my blurry vision. As I was losing consciousness, An air raid siren goes off in the distance. Then, I saw nothing but darkness.

The last things I heard before blacking out completely was the air raid siren and a monstrous, evil laugh that sounded all too familiar...

Author's Note: Well, that was Chapter fifteen. Hope you enjoyed it.

The puzzle with the doctor mannequin wasn't really that hard to come up with. It didn't need a poem like the other puzzles I had to come up with.

The first note that Nicholas picks up in this chapter mentions Room 206. Guess what that references.

That is all for the ending notes for this chapter...So, Inventory Time :D

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 and got it back.

.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 / 23 (Bucks), 04 (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 x04: 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.

Alchemilla Hospital Map: Found in the waiting room. Pretty self-explanatory.

Lighter: Found in the Library. Just an ordinary lighter. Can melt small pieces of ice and provide small illumination. 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.

City Hall Map: Found in the guest room. Discarded because I won't be needing it anymore.

See ya next week for the next chapter.
