Listening to Claudia just made her angrier. Fucking town! She hated it so much! It would never allow her to get any satisfaction! At least… Not until now. She was going to kill her this time. And if she came back again, she’d just kill her again. And again. And again. And even if she did it 100 times, that would never amount to the pain Claudia had caused her. She then asked why she was here. Oh, right… She was on a mission here. But like hell she was going to tell her!
“That’s none of your business!” She shouted, her voice echoing throughout the town. She didn’t care if it alerted all the monsters in Silent Hill. In fact, she pretty much forgot about them. She was focused on one thing at the moment and it clouded her judgement. Heather prepared herself to lung forward to start attacking the helpless Priestess but…But something large and horrendous got in her way.
Leonard.
Heather looked up at the familiar, disturbing face that the monster bared. Her face went from unfathomable rage to horror. She knew that he was around but remembering the first battle she had with him… He was NOT an easy foe to beat. Then again… Right now he was out of his element. Most of the fight was him being under water and getting him to surface. But now he was completely exposed. She could hit him at any time. And he could do so to her. She contemplated her choices here… She could make a run for it. Leonard wasn’t exactly a fast monster. But Heather could lose her chance for revenge. Or she could stay and fight him to get to Claudia. There was a possibility that she could lose… She didn’t have as many weapons as she had before. But without there being water around them for him to slither under, she wouldn’t need guns. She’d merely have to beat him with the pipe. Plus she could always make a break for it if things got too out of hand… She planned to stay. It’s not like he was “god” or something.
… Wait… Was he smiling at her? How could he even do that?!
“So, Heather, now that you know how this town works, would you like to test it?”
“Sure Leonard!” Heather said with a smile, narrowing her eyes. “We’ll see how many times this town is willing to bring you two back!”
And with that, Heather ran at Leonard, her pipe held high above her shoulder, preparing to take a hard swing at him. She was going to hit him with everything she had!
Claudia couldn’t have been more thankful that her father stepped in. She saw Heather about to lunge , but then her father stepped in.
In the corner of her eye Claudia noticed a Medical Kit on the sidewalk. She loved how convenient this town was. She slowly moved towards the sidewalk, trying to make it look like she was trying to get out of the way. She gets there and uses her skirt to cover the kit. She slums down and retrieves the kit.
“Finally, now I can properly dress my wound. Then it’ll heal faster.” He wound was healing a little bit, but it hurt like hell.
She kept an eye on Heather and her father. She didn’t want to sneak attack from Heather. She quickly started to dress her wound while Heather raised her pipe.
“We’ll see how many times this town is willing to bring you two back!”
“Silly girl you’ll waste your time and what’s left of your youth,” Claudia thought. It made her happy that she didn’t have anywhere near as much anger as Heather. Anger lead to fixation on something or someone and leads to wasted time.
She was almost done with her foot; knowing that she would have to step in the fight. She might of hated her father in life, but that was slowly disappearing with the rise of danger in the air.
Heather ran at him, pipe raised. Did she really think it was going to be that easy? Leonard almost laughed. Sure, there wasn’t water to hide in this time, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t still exceptionally hard to kill. He blocked the blow with a claw, and tried to knock the weapon off to the side.
If he could disarm Heather, the fight would definitely be in their favor. He didn’t want to kill her. Not yet. His current plan was to distract her while Claudia tended to her wound. That seemed like the best idea.
Heather was a tenacious one all right. Was she really willing to kill them an infinite number of times? What an incredibly foolish idea. Oh well. He’d play along with her delusions for now.
He clapped his claws together mockingly. “Well done, Heather. Well done…But you’ll have to try harder than that.”
Heather’s rage practically drowned out Claudia’s comment. She didn’t really give a shit to what she had to say. All she knew was that she wanted these two DEAD. Mostly Claudia, though. Leonard was just in her way. As soon as she swung her pipe, Leonard lifted his claws to block his softer areas. The blow didn’t even hurt him. Her hit rebounded off of his bony nubs and caused her to take a step back, which gave Leonard an opening. And he took it.
Before Heather even knew it, the pipe was knocked out of her hands, landing somewhere in the distance behind her. She quickly looked behind her to see if she could see where it landed but it was a no-go. The fog was much to thick for her to see much of anything that was anywhere near them. She then looked up at Leonard, taking a couple more steps back as he mocked her.
“Well done, Heather. Well done…But you’ll have to try harder than that.”
“If you say so!” Heather growled as she reached into one of her vest pockets, pulling out her handy-dandy handgun. She didn’t bring too many bullets with her but she could spare a few on Leonard until she got her pipe back. She lifted it up with both hands and took aim, pulling the trigger. The first bullet was unleashed. And then another one. And another. With every shot, she took another step back away from the horrendous monster. She peeked around her from the corners of her eyes in search of her pipe. Ugh, where was it?! She NEEDED it more than ever now!
Heather shot about five bullets before turning her back on Leonard to try to make a run for her pipe even though she had no idea where it went. If she could get it before Leonard got her, she would stand a better chance against him. She could block his moves and conserve ammo. But that’s only IF she got it back… She frantically searched the area that had once been behind her. C’mon, C’MON! Where is it?! If she didn’t find it soon, who knows how long she’d last against him…
