Day3: The smell no longer bothered her as it once had, apparently it was only foul if you weren't used to the smell of the dead. Shlinda took up a sliver of rotted wood she had found and began to draw on the obscene wall, she had tried to escape earlier that day but the door hadn't budged. Her best guess was he had somehow bolted it from the outside. Her discarded heels sat in the corner of the room now useless due to one being broken. The drawing was coming along well she almost had the face complete, she did have to admit the drawing looked done by a five year old though. Her cat Toms was so much prettier than her bad drawing skill could manage but she needed something to do, she wondered who was feeding him. About feeding…she placed a blood dried hand on her belly as it growled. Shelinda silently moaned as she glanced at the door, she needed food! And a restroom as she thought about it.
As if in answer to her thoughts the door clanged loudly before slamming open to reveal Pyramid Head bathed in fresh blood, he tossed a rotted leg onto the nearest pile of body parts with a jerk as he shambled in. She gulped; on second thought maybe eating wouldn't be a good thing. Pyramid Head slammed the door and blocked it once more before walking over towards the bed, his legs she noticed seemed twitch slightly before locking in place with each step more than likely from lugging around that giant blade. Moving quickly she jumped from the bed as he got closer, only to be rewarded with a loud thunk as he fell onto the bed in a sitting position. He tilted his head slightly towards the drawing that was now present beside his bed. A cat? He hated cats. He tilted his head again to see the female sitting on the blood soaked floor, she really seemed to be into doing that. Pyramid head remained unmoving as he heard a small growl coming from her only to see her pull her legs closer to her chest. Oh ya, mortals liked to eat didn't they? He couldn't guess why Alessa was making him babysit her but he could only guess it was some far-fetched plan of hers. He continued to stare as another growl louder than the last echoed about the room; she finally looked back at him, the uncertainty clear in her expression.
"Um…I'm hungry." He could tell.
"Do you have any food?" Shlinda asked dumbly. Not moving an inch his long whip like tongue slowly slithered out from under his helmet going to the nearest corpse pile where if grabbed both a chunk of fresh and rotted flesh before disappearing with it back under his helmet. She had to stop herself from gagging as she heard a loud crunch repeat it's self for several seconds before silence followed. The decayed flesh really gave the sweet fresh some bite. She composed herself before facing him again.
"I…I can't eat that…I'll get sick…" She said as tears slowly ran down her face, how was she supposed to save something that was so twisted it made herself weak? Pyramid Head stared a moment longer, she was going to be a real pain. If he had known he'd taken her out with him earlier, oh well there was still two survivors out there that he needed to find anyway might as well go out one last time for the day. The girl jumped as he snapped into a standing position and watched as he took two steps and grabbed his weapon unblocking the door. She covered her ears as the all too familiar slam followed sweet. She continued to watch as he took another step forward, frowning as he stopped in the doorway. Mild confusion crossed her face before noticing his helmet turn slightly towards her, was he signaling her to follow? Numbly standing she went to stand behind him and waited till he began to walk once more.
They traversed a staircase that seemed almost never-ending before finally coming up to an empty hallway littered with debris and thick layers of dust. Looking around Shlinda discovered they were in a hospital, the debris comprised of towels, overturned carts and blankets. The rooms all had numbers on them, but some off the doors hung limply off their hinges sadly as if they had given up on hosing a human being. She stared at Pyramid's back as his weapon dragged against the hospital floor leaving deep scratches in the floor. She had the opportunity; she could run…but she was hungry. She stopped walking as they passed a bathroom making Pyramid head stop and turn to face her. She pointed at the door shyly. Pyramid stood still a moment before walking over, slamming the door open and glancing inside, once he was sure it was clear he stepped aside for her to enter. Pyramid waited as the girl went in and closed the door behind her; she wouldn't run he was sure, not if she wanted to live anyways. Turning he glanced to see a bubble head nurse walk into view before turning the corner, he tilted his helmet towards the door. She'd be awhile he figured, might as well have some fun.
Shlinda went to flush the toilet but frowned as she saw the handle was broken, why hadn't she noticed that before? She sighed exasperated with everything; at least there had been actually useful toilet paper. She frowned as she went to the door and opened it to find Pyramid Head missing. Moving uneasily she began to feel highly nervous now that he wasn't with her. Refusing to panic she caught the fresh scratches in the floor and followed them. She focused on watching her surroundings not wanting to encounter a monster without well…her monster? Shlinda continued to walk around two corners before finally finding him. Her eyes widened. Was he…he was. She watched slack jawed as he pounded into the struggling nurse beneath him, every thrust causing more blood to fall from between them to the floor around his feet. Shlinda took a step back causing some glass to shatter beneath her foot, his head instantly whipped up to face her as he continued to thrust. Slowly she kept backing up even as she watched him violently pull out of the nurse with a disgusting slurp. Before she knew what was happening the nurse was flung at her, she dodged just in time to see the nurse go flying into a small grey monster. It looked like a child as it struggled to get up.
Shlinda ran next to Pyramid Head as he grabbed his knife and stood safely to the side as both monsters got to their feet and rushed them, he heaved his weapon with both hands decapitating the nurse instantly. The grey child screeched as it went to pass him for Shlinda only to twitch feebly as it was impaled by the giant blade. She looked at Pyramid seeing his chest rise and fall rapidly, he was breathing. With a tight yank the sword came free and the grey child turned to ash vanishing. She looked at him, he had saved her. What threw her off though was the obvious erection beneath his waist length apron, that sword definitely wasn't overcompensation. He turned to her and considered finishing what he had begun with the nurse but thought better of it; Alessa might not be so pleased if he had his way with the girl. Turning away from the frightened girl he continued his trek through the hospital with her following close behind.
They were in a diner now, Pyramid Head stood at the door watching her as she ate some caramelized peaches from a can hungrily. Shlinda gulped and chewed rapidly finally slowly down mid-way through her second can before noticing Pyramid watching her. She looked off to the side awkwardly, she was supposed to save him…might as well thank him at least, he'd been the one to save her.
"Thank you." The girl whispered making Pyramid raise his helmet a little as he glanced a better view of her.
"For saving me earlier…and feeding me." A small growl was all she received in response to her words. Right, save a monster that can't really seem to understand her that well. She glanced down at her peaches and back up at him, before stretching it out toward him in an offering. He remained unmoving and silent as she spoke.
"Here, when was the last time you had actual food?" She asked as she waved the can for him a little. If he'd ever had food she thought as he continued to remain still as a statue. He looked at the can in her hand, real food huh? He honestly couldn't remember. Slowly but surely his tongue slid out from his helmet and reached out, dipping itself into the can and pulling away two slices back into his helmet. Two bites were all she heard as he ate them. Pyramid surprised her by taking two jerky steps towards her before slipping his tongue back in for more, she laughed lightly as she sat the can on the counter and pulled out another proceeding to eat with him. He watched her as he ate, her laugh interestingly wasn't annoying to him. Shlinda smiled as she ate, this wasn't half bad eating with him.
"Hey, bet I can finish before you!" Shlinda joked as she took a big chunk from her can and ate it. Pyramid's tongue stilled in the air before wrapping around the can and dragging it beneath his helmet, Shlinda's eyes widened as she heard the crunching of metal before hearing an audible gulp.
"Ok…maybe that wasn't such a good idea." She whispered as Pyramid's tongue reached below the counter for another can and ate it whole again. The blood he received from chewing it adding flavor to the already sweet peaches.
She watched quietly as he shut the door and once again laid his sword against it before going to lie on the bed. She looked at the floor and went to go sit in her usual spot before a grunt drew her attention to the monster. He was sitting up watching her again. She looked around the room in confusion as she then locked her eyes on him. He slammed his hand down next to him before letting it rest in his lap again. Whoa, she wasn't so sure getting in bed with him was smart, not after seeing what that nurse had endured.
"I'm good!" She squeaked only to have him slam the spot on the bed once more. Her heart racing she edged her way to him slowly stopping in front of him. She carefully got on the bed closet to the wall and watched uncertainly as he lay back down and turned his back to her. Still watching him she laid down as well and turned away also, she hadn't noticed how big the bed was till now. After what was like forever her eyes drooped lazily and passed out. Pyramid Head felt it the moment she fell asleep, her heart rate slowed and her breathing turned shallow. This whole thing was getting complicated; Alessa had better hurry up with whatever plan she had for this girl.
