Bloodborne: the Cursed

"So, Yharama, ha?" Sunset speaks as blood is transfused into her body: "What are those beast you talk about? Can you give me more information about them?"

"Oh, don't you worry." the man in a wheelchair says: "whatever happens...you may think it all a mere bad dream." and starts laughing.

"Bad dream? What are you..." her eyelids get heavier by seconds.

"Ah!" Sunset opens her eyes in a cold sweat. She looked around and saw a puddle of dark reddish liquid. Slowly, a were-wolf beast covered in blood emerges from the liquid, reaching its claw towards Sunset. Suddenly, the monster starts burning. Sunset could only watch as the beast fades to dust while screaming out of agony.

"It's a bad dream. It's a bad dream. It's a bad dream..." Sunset repeats. She wants to get up and dash out of this place, but something is stopping her. Sunset almost screamed when she reopens her eyes: countless small, pale, ugly humanoid creatures claiming onto her body. The strange little creatures reached her face before Sunset blacks out.

"No!" Sunset screams as soon as she wakes up. Luckily, those monsters are gone, leaving her alone an empty room loaded with empty beds and 19th century looking medical equipment. In an attempt to leave the bed, Sunset fall to the ground as if she never learned how to walk.

"Ah...ah..." she tries to scream for help, but her tongue is frozen. She tried to stand up again only to fall back to the ground. Eventually, she used an old transfusion pole as a crutch.

"H...he..hel..." she tries to speak again while making her way out of the room and the long dark hallway following it. The sound of chewing becomes clear as she makes her way forward.

Great! Someone's here! Sunset though as she struggles towards the sound. I can finally get help. However, an unpleasant sight interrupted her thought: a monster chewing on a corpse appears out of the dark. Running away is not an option. A beast is, in any way, strong and faster than a human. However, a surprise attack may just do the trick. Having made up her mind, Sunset hit the beast with her pole as hard as possible. The beast collapsed to the ground, but only to experience the fury of a new hunter. Once, twice, the monster finally turns into dust as Sunset swings her pole relentlessly.
After this battle, Sunset crippled her way out of the building.

"Hello!" Sunset screams on top of her lung after seeing a tall man holding a torch: "I am a hunter, and I am injured! Can you help me?"

However, as the man approach, Sunset sees beast-like hair and claw-like hands on him. It's not a man, oh no, not even close. A monster dressing up as a man is more revolting than a beast in its pure form.

"Away, away!" the monster-like creature screams while charging towards Sunset with an ax. Out of self-defense, Sunset struck the beast with whatever strength she has left. It falls backward as Sunset sprinting toward a ladder.

Finally, Sunset claimed up the ladder before that monster gets up, and a lantern sits right in front of her eye. Out of panic, she reached out towards the strangely out of place lantern.

As fog fades, a building, with open doors, gradually appears in front of Sunset. Not knowing what danger lays ahead, Sunset decides to proceed with caution.

"Eh, madam?" Sunset sees a white-haired lady sitting on a rock: "Hello? oh...my..." It's a plain doll with features so vividly that no one at first glance would see it as a mere doll. Not knowing what to do, Sunset made her towards the open gates. The white little humanoid creatures creep on the ground, offering her weapons as she proceeds up the stairs. One particular weapon caught her attention: it has a massive blade with teeth on its edge.

"Go out and kill a few beasts, it is for your own good" Gehrman says as Sunset sits on the ground.

"Can I at least receive some training?" Sunset replies: "I almost got killed by a monster dressed in human cloth!"

"You shall learn during the hunt," Gehrman says: "Remember, this is all a dream. Nothing here is true."

"Fine then," Sunset is a little upset: "Where is that doll from?"

"Oh, the doll," Gehrman smiles: "You are welcome to use whatever you find...Even the doll, should it please you..."

"O...K" Sunset says: "Does it...train me how to fight?"

"You will see," Gehrman replies.

After their conversation, Sunset sat down next to the doll: "So, what's up?"

The doll sits still: "It's a beautiful place, you know? So peaceful. How do you guys find such a place?" Again, no reply.

"I wish I were you," Sunset says: “Just sit here and look at trees all day long. Oh, sorry, your eyes are closed. Sleeping all day long isn’t a bad option, you know. I wish that I can just sit here and sleep my problems away. Gehrman said all this is just a dream, but doesn't feel like it for me. All the monsters I saw, they are just all too real for me." Sunset looks at the doll as if she's expecting an answer.

"Yeah, right, you are not real. None of this is! That means I can go out and hunt down these monsters like a boss! Right?" Sunset looks upwards: "Who am I lying to? I signed the contract, and this is what I have to do now. Maybe this is my reality, all alone, and everything else is fake. Princess Celestia...Twilight...my friends...all fake, and this is the real world. Well, no matter. Now I am off to the hunt. Nice dress, by the ways, fits you really well. Maybe, just maybe, I can buy that dress somewhere and then we can play dress up! OR, if I am not insane by then, we can host a tea party with Gehrman! When I am done with my duty, I can bring you all to meet my friends. If I am not insane, that is."
