SHFanfic Her Monster pt13Her Monster part 13When Claudia became active in the Otherworld, all of Silent Hill sprang to life. The calm horror of Alessa's reign passed overnight, dogs prowled the streets, bugs and creeping monsters swarming all the dark places, the few people left living in the town were eradicated; driven out only to be followed and consumed. The foul cancer spread to the neighboring towns of South Ashfield and Shepherd's Glen, taking root and growing, breeding more cults and strange deaths. Claudia conducted her orchestra with a sorcerer's grace, feeding off fears and finding new ways to torment anyone within the reach of her clawing fingers. A
SHFanfic Her Monster pt12Part 12: Hand-me-downThe Cult had come to calling her the Holy Mother. It made sense to glorify her with Claudia in charge – she'd worshiped Alessa even before she'd been given dark powers. Now she was more of a god than anyone in the cult imagined. Still it was not a glorified existence.Alessa could feel her flesh far off, growing and maturing without her beyond the fog. She could feel the satanic god Samael growing as well. His fetal form gestated within her womb the same way his monsters moved within the belly of Silent Hill. He was growing stronger, but so was she and she intended to stop him using the same methods her moth
SHFanfic Her Monster pt11Part 11: Restless DreamsSmoke.She was fog. Floating. Drifting. Settling in corners, seeping through cracks in decaying walls, filling basements. She was an essence housing weary thought and malicious memories. She couldn't call herself by any certain name anymore, she was merely a casual resident of this world lording over an abandoned resort town conducting affairs in her own subtly detached way.There was no distinction between light side and dark side. Dahlia Gillespie was dead, the Flauros was gone and the cult had all but vanished into the prison spaces and sewers under ground. She reached for them, but her smoky tendrils cou
SHFanfic Her Monster pt10Part 10: The GardenWhen Alessa's coma was disturbed, her mind was broken like a fallen mirror. She could practically see the glittering pieces of it strewn about before her as her eye-line shifted haltingly from the body seated on the ground to the body in the wheelchair nearby. Dahlia was nearby. A woman approached. She heard Harry's voice, and Kaufmann's. Whether these were real or images from a dream Alessa could not tell and did not care. Swimming in her head were three sets of memories and three trains of thought all weaving in and out and nearly missing each other on
SHFanfic Her Monster pt09Part 9: PsychoAlessa had never expected this war. It was hard-fought but not with the Order, within herself.In the last seven years the good half of Alessa Gillespe's soul had been living on her own, Cheryl'd grown a very unique and individual ego of her own. Alessa was older and stronger as far as metaphysical power was concerned, but that didn't make Cheryl any less of an ego. The girl entity that was left after the two of them fused was a baffled and frightened seven year-old creature running randomly through Silent Hill.Alessa still had the Order on her mind. Despite the disorder, the soul
SHFanfic Her Monster pt08Her Monster part8:Valtiel's gift was surely a blessing, all Alessa had to do was figure out what to do with it. It posed a sort of problem in that when she touched it, the nightmare she'd lived with for so long was silenced. This nightmare, her tormented soul, was nourishment for the developing occult deity living in her body. Without this nightmare, the fetal god would not be born, Alessa would be victorious over the Order, and the world at large would be spared a great evil.Unfortunately Samael wasn't the only one pulling power from her nightmares. With the Seal of Metatron in use, Alessa could not summon the dark forces of Silent H
SHFanfic Her Monster pt07Her Monster part 7When a person is sick, they are taken to the hospital. Perhaps this knowledge guided her on some subconscious level because despite the obvious danger, Alchemilla hospital was exactly where she and her Monster ended up. Luckily enough the basement of the Order’s center of operation was about the safest place they could have been. The floor where her body lay had long been cleared of all patients and staff, leaving only the members of the Order and a handful of trusted medical staff to traverse the halls. None of them ever thought to search for Alessa so close to the prison they intended her to stay in, and they ne
SHFanfic Her Monster pt06Her Monster part 06Alessa slipped into a self-inflicted semicoma of misery and despair in the prison deep beneath Silent Hill. Years passed like phantoms through the darkness while she sat seeing nightmares in the dusty corner of her cell. When she closed her eyes she saw the raging anguish she'd left in her body and felt the pull of the Order's spell meant to draw her back, but she'd resigned to this cell like a lifer waiting out her sentence wondering if she would ever truly die.She envied the half of her soul she'd freed from this torment. Where was that child now? How old was she? Three? Five? Was she happy? All Alessa could s
SHFanfic Her Monster pt05Her Monster part5: EbenezerThe Siren blared and marked the change of turns. The burned coal and spilled blood hazed back into thick fog and piles of ash and Alessa landed softly on the road, reserved and quiet. The army of childlike creatures she'd conjured from the blackness broke formation and shambled off into the mist. Their role on the light side was distract not attack – to give her mother's pawns something to shoot at and keep them from finding her. Undoubtedly the little hellspawn would be blown apart with shotguns and handguns but she didn't care. They didn't mean anything
SHFanfic Her Monster pt4Her Monster part4: JabberwockyFrom then on, the waiting was a game and Silent Hill one giant chessboard.Alessa played black; on her turn the board would change to spilled blood and sheet metal. Her pawns would climb up from the abyss and hoard the land finding and killing all the people they could. Her king was her Monster, wearing a crown of red metal and moving only one space at a time. Dahlia played white, using the calm periods of gray fog and snow to hunt her daughter restlessly. The Flauros was her guide, its shifting power hungry for all the dimensional energy Alessa summoned.
