“Y’know, James..? I can’t imagine fucking up Silent Hill with anybody else, and I wouldn’t have anyone else at all.”

                             .. and against his better judgment, james was starting to feel like he had to agree.

Chapter 25: Pretty Women

Suddenly, a putrid smell wafted into his (Harry) nose on the approach to the event room. Harry scrunched his face and pulled his sweater collar to cover his nose and mouth. He proceeded cautiously into the enormous room, sweeping his flashlight to and fro.

Then he saw it, and heard it, and stopped dead in his tracks.

Harry immediately noticed that this was something brand new. A non-person stood dimly bathed in the flashlight’s beam near the other end of the conference hall. The monstrosity had its back to him, swaying listlessly on thin, stringy legs of ripped flesh and pockets of exposed bone. It breathed hard, popping breaths into the corner it faced. One lungful was evidently too much effort for it and the body shook with the force of the following cluster of coughs. Something splashed the ground, then the sticky gasping resumed.

The thing stood in a puddle of black, syrupy ichor collected from the veins of ooze that ran down its gangly, naked body. Anything that could possibly be called skin on its foul body looked to have been carelessly scorched; though now, it was too wet to be crisp. There were patches of grey between the char, thin and light enough to see a root system of green beneath. Every time it hacked, the passion of it spurred more of that liquid nastiness seemingly originating from its head to flow over its knobby, protruding spine and suctioned ribcage. Any of the rips in its soggy husk gave shelter to the dribbles that sought it. On limp arms stripped of its skin like the sleeves cut off from a t-shirt, blood glistened amongst the black slime coating the muscle beneath. The entirety of this crude mockery of a human was wet either by black sap, blood, or.. or, Harry didn’t want to know.

Unsurprisingly, the thing was grotesque - an attribute that went without saying around these parts. Maddeningly, this abomination too kept with the theme of fire and water. But above all that, the first thing Harry had truly noticed was that it was tall. From his standpoint across the floor, he tried to gauge the height despite the creature being hunched over. During his calculations the ogre rocked on its bony legs, another round of coughing turning into dry heaving. The sound engaged Harry’s weak gag reflex and he threw his arm over his mouth to both control and hopefully stifle the noise in time.

The fiend turned its head. Harry caught a look at its profile, then the rest of its foul existence when it twisted its body in his direction. On its revolting head, its features appeared to be melting right off the skull beneath clumps of greasy black hair. Mushy skin drooped from its splotchy brow, weighing down the eye sockets and slouching off the cheekbones. From its open jaw dripped yellowed, diluted pus that bubbled on its rotten teeth whenever it exhaled, making gargled snarls sound like muttering. The horror of it peaked when Harry realized that this thing was supposed to be a woman. Her deflated breasts sagged on her visible rib cage above an enormous belly bulging and sloshing from her midsection, reminding Harry of a water balloon and fit to burst at any moment.

Her attention seemed to be drawn by the flashlight. As she fully faced him, her gurgling became harsher and her dripping brow lowered. Harry immediately clapped his hand over the white glow. He held his breath. The sudden darkness seemed to briefly confuse her, and by the sound of her coarse breathing, she’d lost interest and turned away again.

Harry, as silently as possible, began to back up, slowly turned heel, and quickly fled. He released the beam to guide his way back, and when his feet hit marble, he stopped short to tread more carefully across the floor.

James was as he left him, seated on the steps and absorbed in the old notes. He startled when Harry set a heavy hand on his shoulder and frowned up at him and the universal signal to keep quiet. Harry leaned in close to his ear. “There’s something in the event room down here,” he muttered. “It’s new. We should move somewhere else. If we can avoid it and get out of here in the morning without pissing it off, I think that’d be a really, really good idea.”

Chapter 36: Do You Have A Hall Pass?

Harry turned his back to the table to recline against the edge and pulled out the school map. Taking heed of a second thought, he rifled in his jacket again for the fortune teller. While Harry played researcher, the memos too damp to separate and read, James continued to marvel the Otherworld. He meandered over to one of the fenced walls and curiously picked at the hard orange crust, which prompted a shudder from the unpleasant sensation, and he lowered his hand. Peeking through, unseen eyes scrutinized the civilian right back, and raised the hair on his neck.

As he’d experienced in the music room, he couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. It’d persisted through their exploration of the transformed school and here, felt stronger. Peering again past the diamond-shaped iron, he squinted into the dark, adjusting his light to perhaps catch whatever might be observing him. The distant muttering only he was privy to seeped into his head, and had him diverting his eyes to the ceiling as was suggested. Those feelings weren’t unfounded: there was someone watching him.  

Above awaited a creature perhaps no larger than a teenager. Its body was lanky, cadaverous, and wrapped in mildewy skin spotted in brown sores and decay, hunched on all fours. The hair was black, stringy, and greasy, hanging around its head like a curtain, mouth silenced by a red plate beneath a smooth mask of skin where eyes should be. That plate reminded him of the girls they’d met in South Vale - the ones that had also followed them to Old Silent Hill. The eyeless face regarded him inquisitively. James did and said nothing. They “stared” at one another for a while, the only noise coming from the rustle of drying papers and distracted muttering from the man across the room.

Finally, when the private broadcast to the town’s conduit signed off, James eyeballed the monster for another moment before he opened his mouth. “Hi.”

Harry glanced up at him, frowning. “.. hi?” James pointed upward, so he followed it to the ceiling and startled so badly that he would’ve knocked the table over if it hadn’t been secure against the wall. “Jesus CHRIST!”

He instinctively ducked down as the beast skittered over the lattice and Harry’s position. It paid him no mind as it passed him on its way into the beyond, where the sound of its tracks faded away.

...

Their journey got cut right short at scuttling behind them. Harry whirling around and James casually swiveling, their lights fell upon the same creature that had been in the ceiling. She - because it looked like a she - tilted her eyeless head; her neck was unnaturally able to stretch and fully display her face to them despite her all-fours crouch.

Her red plate forced her speechless, yet it felt like that had been her choice. She wagged her head at them in a way that seemed like a friendly or even playful hello. Harry had every right to distrust her, as odd as that greeting was; but it did its job of slightly lowering his guard. Nevertheless, he eyeballed her as though she were as dangerous as a rabid possum. Their possible new friend (or foe) turned away and ambled to the east.

James was ready to go after her, but waited for his cue. The veteran stood stagnant to go over probable pros and cons of taking the chance. She was hardly far away when she ‘looked’ back over her shoulder. Sensing they (Harry) were hesitating, she authoritatively smacked the floor to motivate them forward. When they (Harry) hadn’t moved, she rotated in place and reprised herself, this time ordering them along.

Harry leaned his head back a bit, winced, and conceded to her demand. “Okay, okay,” he soothed, catching up. “We got the message, loud and clear.” The thing waited until they were right on her tail to take the lead through the corridor and up the staircase to the second floor.
