Chapter 2: The Town and the Hospital
Previous ChapterThe Town and the Hospital
Sunset shot up her head, gasping for breath. As she did this, she felt like something inside her head exploded, causing her to feel pain through out her body. She held onto her head, as her ear drums was picking up a loud, screeching noise rang in her ears, her vision was a blurry red, as she saw images pop into her mind out of nowhere. The sound is what she heard before she fainted. It was the siren that made Rainbow Dash disappear for what seemed to be no primal reason. Then after that, the world got dark, and rusted, and a monster attacked her, It was all she could remember before blacking out.
Soon, the loud sound of the siren started to grow more quit, as the pain she felt subsided, and her vision slowly getting more and more clear. She let out one more groan, as she rubbed her head. She could no longer hear the siren, and she could no longer see the red blurry vision that she had just saw. Instead, it went quit. Too quit, as if nothing existed at all, except for Sunset, who herself didn't even dare to move, afraid that something else horrific was going to happen to her.
Why is this happening to me?1 What did I do to deserve this? Sunset thought, as she let the tears stream down her face, as she just broke apart. For some unknown reason, she felt something off. She felt like she was underwater, which wasn't the case, because she could see that she was still at Heavens Night. She knew she couldn't stay in there forever, she had to get out of there, and find Rainbow Dash.
I can't just leave her here, if I did that, what kind of friend would I be? Sunset thought. Just thinking that brought her back to a time where she thought that having friends would never help her in life, which is one of the reasons she ran away in the first place. As Sunset got up from her sitting position, she felt relief on her lower area, as it seemed that she was sitting on something as she fell asleep.
"That feels better, but what was I sitting on?" Sunset asked herself, as she looked down, and saw the handgun that she used to kill the monster, which she regretted deep down inside her consciousness. She reluctantly picked it up, knowing that if some other monster were to attack her, and if she couldn't run away, using it would be her only option."I guess I'll still need this... If I get attacked again..." Deep down, she hoped she would never have to hurt another creature like that ever again, but the reality was that this town was full of monsters. If she had the option, she would just sit down and eat pizza, but that wasn't an option right now. She had to survive.
"I'll get through this, and I'll find Rainbow Dash..." Sunset said to herself. She could still feel some pain, though she didn't know the reason for feeling it. She remembered the small flashlight she found, and the book that she used to talk to Twilight with. She quickly found both items again, along with a few health drinks as well. She drank one to ease the pain, and saved the other for the right occasion. Having no reason for being there, she left through the same way she came out, the door was now able to open again. Someone had fixed the broken lock.
"Huh? This was broken though. Who fixed it?" Sunset asked, in disbelief. When she tried to run from that monster earlier, the door was broken, but somehow, it was fixed. None of this made any sense to her. She just let out a frustrated sigh, a she left the building.
Outside, she could see that it was still foggy, and still for some odd reason, snowing. She rubbed her forehead with her hand, as she made her way into the quit town. She held the handgun in her hand, making sure her finger was off the trigger, as to not accidentally shoot her foot while walking. As she walked, she tried to go into many different building, all of them being locked , or the door nobs being broken, making the door jammed. These building she crossed off of her map. It seemed like she was getting nowhere.
"This place is so foggy, that I can't see two feet in front of me!" Sunset said, with an agitated tone of voice. She had to search one of these buildings, but none of them she was even able to open, which made her even more frustrated. "This town is the worst place I've ever been in! Period!" This was not helping her. As she walked, she heard the familiar static of the radio. She gulped, knowing that it meant a monster was near by, she quickly began to run in the other direction, but she tripped, when she felt something sharp come into contact with her back, causing her to fall down. She turned around, and saw another monster, but this one was different.
It was a slender creature, with long blades as it's fingernails, it was nearly naked, only having a few parts of it being covered, it had the face showing an emotion that was strong. That emotion was anger, towards Sunset. The creature screamed out in rage, as it seemed like it was going to take that rage out on her. Sunset tried to get up, but the pain in her back halted her process. It was so painful that she could barley move. She had no other choice, but to fight it. She pulled out her handgun, and started to shoot at it, but nothing came out. She had no ammo left in it.
"How could I've forgotten to reload this thing?!" Sunset asked herself, the panic and fear rising in her, as she got out the box of ammo that she was also carrying. She reloaded the gun as quick as she could, as the monster got closer and closer to her. She practically shoved the ammo inside, and once it clicked, letting her know that she did it right, she started to fire it away in one panicked motion. The bullets made contact with it, just like it did with the last monster she had to face off against.
It let out one more cry of agony, as it fell back, hitting the ground with a loud thud. Sunset was gasping for air, but she felt the air disappear once she saw it's body vibrate, telling her that it was still alive. She aimed the gun right at it's head, and fired. The bullet made contact with it, ending it's misery. She once again gasped for the air that her lungs so desperately wanted. The pain in her back was causing her energy to quickly be drained from her body.
She checked inside her pocket once again, and felt the bottle of the other health drink she got at that bar. She groaned, as she popped off the cap, and started to drink it to numb the pain in her back. Something was telling her that she should save it for later, but the other part of her told her that she would be stuck there, not being able to move because of the pain. As she drank, the pain lessen. She could still feel it, but it wasn't as bad as it was before.
She got up, but had to put her balance on a nearby building. She needed something to help her walk. Luckily for her, there was a stick laying on the sidewalk. It was long enough to be a cane, so she made her way towards it, though still feeling most of the pain on her back. That didn't stop her from getting to it though, as she picked it up, and used it to balance herself.
"H-huh.....? What;'s that....?" She asked, as she noticed a shining object, next to the dead figure of the monster. She made her way to it slowly. The closer she got, the more she could see that it was a somewhat big key, with a small tag on it. She picked up the key, and read what was on the tag.
Brookhaven Hospital Entrance Key.
"Brookhaven Hospital?" Sunset asked, her pain showed in her voice. She pulled out her map, trying not to agitate her wound more than she had to, and searched for the hospital. She quickly found it, and marked it on the map. There had to be a reason there was key there. Maybe that's the place Rainbow was at, or at least something that would make sense.
"I passed it after leaving Heavens Night, I did try to open it, but the door was locked. This time it should work." Sunset said to herself, to make her feel like she was talking to someone else so she wouldn't go crazy. It wasn't working though, because she still felt alone. "I better start moving...."
It was easier said than done. The cane was barley helping her walk, and she was moving at an incredible slow pace. She wasn't worried about it getting affected, though she was worried about Rainbow Dash, and how they were going to escape. She had to push those thoughts aside, as she continued to walk down the foggy, empty street.
After what felt like hours, she finally made it. The building didn't have any unique features from the rest of the town. The building looked run down and dirty. The only difference is that she could actually go inside this building, now that she had the key. She made her way up the small stone steps, but just like walking, it was no easy task.
After stumbling up the stairs, she made it to the front door, and placed the key inside of it. It let out a click, as Sunset pulled it out again. The moaning and creaking of the door made her shutter, as the door slowly opened. She could only see darkness in there.
"I really don't want to go in there.... Even with a flashlight, I might do something stupid, like trip over something, or worse.... Run into a monster..." Sunset said to herself. She gulped down her fears, as she knew that there had to be something in there, otherwise why would that monster have a key. She pulled out her flashlight, and turned it on, a beaming light shinning out of it, causing the room to bright up.
"Well, here I go...." Sunset gulped, as she entered the building, The inside was even dirtier than the outside of it, the walls were cracked, there were a few blood stains on the floor and walls. It felt like a murder happened there, which put her on edge. She started to walk around the area, just like the outside of the town, it was silent.
"Rainbow Dash?!" Sunset called out, hoping to get a reply, but there was none. It wasn't the smartest choice to call out in a place like this, but she felt that she had no other choice. She tried a few rooms, but most of them were locked, and the elevator wasn't working. The only door that would open, was a door that was a stairway that lead to the other floors.
Sunset started to make her way up the said stairs, going slow as she did. She didn't trust stairs, for good reasons, and that fear was putting her on edge.
"I hate stairs..." She grumbled to herself, as she continued. Eventually, she made it to the second floor. The door was unlocked, luckily for her, she guessed. The door creaked opened, as Sunset shinned the flashlight inside the dark, hallway. "Alright, got to be careful...." Sunset said, as she began to walk. As she walked, she heard a soft noise coming from her pocket. The more she walked down the hallway, the louder it got. It was then she realized that it was coming from the radio.
She gulped, looking around the area. She couldn't see what it was, or where it was. That terrified. She was frozen, not moving, and yet, the radio was getting louder and louder. She also heard the noise of footsteps behind her. She quickly turned around, and felt something make contact with her cheek.
She fell to the ground, as she felt her gums bleed, and some of her teeth get loosen. Her vision was blocked with her tears, as she looked up. The thing that hit her was holding a pipe, it was wearing a green nurse uniform, it's face was extremely pale, it's eyes were opened wider than thought possible, it had a smile, that was cut into its flesh, forcing it to smile, though Sunset noticed tears coming out of the corners of its eyes.
"Get back!" Sunset shouted, trying to get up, but was slow due to both of her injury, some blood coming out of her mouth due to the blow. She pulled out her handgun once again, but the nurse swiftly came up to her, and slapped it out of her hands. Sunset backed up, a wall coming near her back. She didn't want to die yet, not without finding Rainbow Dash anyway.
"Please don't hurt me!" She pleaded, as the nurse twitched unnaturally. As Sunset backed up, she heard a third pair of footsteps. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the nurse fell forward, as something hit it on the back of the head. Sunset looked up, and saw Rainbow Dash, who was holding a pipe, which she used to knock down the nurse.
It shook on the ground, trying to find it's balance, but Rainbow quickly stomped on it, making it grow still and silent. She looked at Sunset, and looked at her with a concerned look.
"Sunset! What happened to you?" She asked, holding a hand out for her friend. She not only noticed the bruise that was on her cheek, but she noticed the somewhat deep cut on her back. "You're hurt! Hang on, I have a first aid kit." After she said that, she pulled it out, and got out the bandages, and with the help of Sunset, wrapped it around the cut.
"I'm fine..." Sunset said, the weakness clear in her voice. Rainbow could only offer a soft smile, as she remembered another thing she got in the hospital.
"Hey! I found this pen! I think it still works!" Rainbow said. They could now contact Twilight in Equestria. Sunset, already having the book out, grabbed the pen, and started to write in it.
Meanwhile....
Twilight was in the library part of the castle, reading the same book that Sunset sent to her. She couldn't get Silent Hill out of her head. Something about that town just seemed off to her, she could tell just by reading it. She was almost done with the page she was on, when she heard the noise of something vibrating. It came from the small desk next to her, where she kept the book she used to talk to Sunset with.
She levitated it over to herself, and started to read what Sunset was writing.
Twilight! We need your help! Me and Rainbow Dash are trapped in a weird foggy version of the town Silent Hill. There's also monsters running around that nearly killed us! Please help us!
As Twilight finished reading, she just stood there in shock. She wanted to help, bit she didn't know what to do. The problem was that Sunset said she was in some weird foggy version of it, bit the question was whether if she was in the same world or not? She knew one thing. They were both in danger.
