Luke Henry is cursed to live for (aneternity) wrote in rooms,
luke, wren, evie & jack GTFO of silent hill
[Upstairs, away from the water below that swirled, cold and colder still, and the sirens sounded. They heralded death, Luke thought. He'd all but forgotten about the keys, forgotten that they were supposed to be trying them, and all he was really looking for was a safe place. A room to lock themselves into, but some doors wouldn't open and, so, he tried the keys. He couldn't remember putting them in his pocket but, oh well, they were there. And so he went, down the hallway, arm locked around Wren's waist to pull her along with him.
Where he went, she went; it was only right.
And then somebody was screaming. He paused, head cocked to the side as he listened. Yes, there, beneath the wail of sirens. Somebody had found something. Evie? Yes, that was it. Evie had found something. A safe place, maybe. Come along, tug and tug down the hallway, away from the woman who hissed that they would never find a way out. Luke was almost starting to believe that was true, that they'd be trapped forever and ever and ever.
He saw Evie as he approached, saw the door, and something in him told him to run. And so he did, dragging Wren with him, he ran towards the door and he shot at monsters that got too close, bang bang bang like it was instinct. Where was Jack? Coming, right behind, he had to be, because he couldn't wait; he had to get Wren someplace safe. Out was safe. And the woman screamed after him, screamed that he couldn't run, couldn't hide, you think you can leave, darling, but you never, ever will; he still didn't stop.
