Author's Note: To the reviewer: I guess I didn't make it quite clear. Nicholas used the golden key to open the trapdoor that led him to where he is now; down the hole.

And also, other readers (and reviewer), if you want to contact me (or just ask me a question about the story), just email me at or PM me on fan-fiction (either way is fine).

It would be a lot more convenient for me. I check my email every time I open my web browser. Don't be afraid to send me an email. Just don't send me an spam or anything like that XP

Anyways, here's the chapter.

Time – Unknown

The lantern that I had just received was full of oil. My guns were all locked and loaded. And my radio was on. In the distance, I saw the red, glowing eyes staring at me. I guess I was going to face them sooner or later. Then, my radio started with the static.

I had my eagle in one hand and my lantern in the other. I started going towards the glowing eyes. Soon, I came face-to-face with the glowing eyes. With the help of the lantern, I saw that it was a strange creature.

The creature looked like buffed up version of me. In it's one hand, it held a knife that looked like the one that killed Skye. Around it's neck was a key. It was also wearing a strange mask. The monster lets out a little growl and started coming at me with it's knife raised up.

The monster swung its great knife. I managed to dodge it. But the tip of the knife managed to cut part of my cheek. He was aiming to take off my head. I fired a whole magazine of bullets at the beast. With each bullet fired, I saw a small spray of blood coming out of the monster.

As I was reloading, the monster comes up to me and grabs me by the neck. He starts choking me. It felt like I was being choked by a boulder...somehow. I tried my best to escape his clutches. Soon, I kicked him and he drops me on the ground.

I pulls back dropping his knife. I finish reloading and fired my last mag. at him. Again, the spray of blood came up with each shot fired. After the shots, he just like froze for a few minutes. I went up to the beast and "examined" him.

It was still alive. His eyes were still glowing. My radio was still going off. It's like as he was frozen solid. So, I took this moment and took the key* around its neck.

I walked away from him. As soon as my back was turned to him, I hear a growl coming from him. I turned around and saw that he was gone (my radio also stopped going off). In his place was an audio diary and something else that looked rather familiar. I went to it and picked up the diary*, it was labeled, "The Brooks Case 2".

Was this a continuation of Herman's Diary? I pressed the "play" button and listened. As I was listening, I drank a health drink to heal wounds. I don't know how the drink does it, but it actually does heal my wounds. It said this:

"He was just a freshman in college when this all happened. The judge had him testify, but he wasn't a good witness. He couldn't give us the details that we needed to get Skye convicted of his crimes. Whenever he would open his mouth, he would have like a breakdown, it was as if Nick himself was on trial. After the trial was over, Skye got away with a "innocent" verdict.

I vow that I will someday catch this villain and make sure he gets what's coming to him. I wonder if Skye is anywhere nearby."

This audio diary...I remember that day clearly now. I hated the courts for letting Skye get away with his crimes that day. But now...I'm not so sure anymore. Then, I remembered that the monster also left behind something else. I looked down, picked it up*, and saw that it was an angled flashlight.

But for some reason, it looked very familiar. Where have I seen it before...? Then, I remembered. I saw it at the "Urban Apartments".

"I walked through the door and I saw another flashlight's illumination. The flashlight was on the front desk of the apartments. It wasn't mine. I slowly walked towards the flashlight and saw that it was an angled flashlight. This kind of flashlight is often used by the military.

I picked up the flashlight. Suddenly, I heard the cocking of a shotgun and felt a barrel being pressed against my back."

This was the same flashlight that Herman used. I tried to turn it on, but it wouldn't turn on. Was this flashlight broken too? I opened the battery cover and something else completely different fell out of it. A key had fallen out of it instead of actual batteries. How did a key find it's way into Herman's flashlight?

The key looked rather old and rusted. It wasn't even labeled. I guess I should keep it though. Every key belongs with a door. I just got to find the door which this key belonged to.

After figuring out that there wasn't anything else worth taking, I moved on down the dark hallway. So, I walked and walked. It felt like as if I wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. I checked my wristwatch and saw that it was still frozen. How long have I been down here?

After walking for...god knows how long, I come upon three doors. The door to my left had a broken lock. The door in front of me and to my right were both locked. I took out the key that I got from Herman's flashlight. It wasn't a fit.

So, I tried the key that I got from the monster. It was a fit. I opened the door and it went on in. It was as if I went through a portal. I found myself in an "otherworld" version of my bedroom.

On the rust-covered bed were some ammunition for my two guns. Two boxes full of bullets for my eagle* and two boxes of slugs for my shotgun*. The boxes of slugs had four bullets in them each. The boxes of bullets for my eagle each had seven bullets. I took the bullets for the eagle and reloaded the gun. All my guns were loaded. There wasn't anything else worth taking in the room, so I left the room.

The hallway was still as dark as ever. The lantern that Lenny gave me was good, but it wasn't as good as a flashlight. Anyways, I saw that I had one more door left. I remembered it was locked. I hope the key that I have left was a fit. I put the key in the keyhole and turned it.

I opened the door and as soon as I opened it, my radio started emitting a static that was louder than usual...

Author's Note: And that was chapter nineteen. Hope you enjoyed it.

The part from chapter nine was suppose to be different then what showed you (thanks a lot for that by the way). What it was suppose to show should be shown in this chapter. Hopefully, the site doesn't fuck it up again.

The next chapter might be the last. The ending and epilogue will be a separate "chapter".

The title of this chapter is actually the name of the monster. I had a different name in mind for the Keeper, but I forgot it. Anyways, I have a name for every monster that Nicholas had encountered.

And now, 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 and got it back.

.50 AE Desert Eagle (Pistol) - 7 / 7: 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 / 10 (Bucks), 12 (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

Lantern: Given to me by Lenny Skye. A replacement for my flashlight since it stopped working. Its hooked up to my belt. Runs on oil.

Flashlight: Always handy whenever I have a blackout in my house (which happens often). It had stopped working since I dropped down "that hole". I still have it in my chest pocket though.

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). Unlike my flashlight, this thing still works...sort of.

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 and provide small illumination. I decided to keep it with me, might come in handy in the near future.

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

"The Brooks Case 2": Retrieved after killing that monster. It's a continuation of Herman's Audio diary.

Unlabeled Audio Diary: Found in the "Intensive Care Unit". It's a recording of Lenny doing something. I should hold on to it.

Herman's Flashlight: Retrieved after killing that monster. It doesn't work. I found an unlabeled key where the batteries are suppose to go though.

Important Items used in this chapter

Battery Key: Found in Herman's flashlight. I just used on a door that led me to an otherworld version of my bedroom.

Rusted Key: Taken from that monster. This was the key that I just used on the center door.

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".

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.

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.

Alchemilla Hospital Map: Found in the waiting room. Discarded because it's pretty useless now that I'm not in the hospital anymore.

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

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.

See ya next week for the next chapter.
