Chapter 21: Catching Up

It has been almost 6 years since Alessa had passed. I have learned to master my abilities, as well as create a limit to the demon's influence on the realm of Silent Hill. The demon and I have bumped heads countless times over the years, and as Alessa presumed, the demon never followed through with her promise to Pyramid about the removal of his helmet. Recently the demon has taken a liking to calling itself Alessa and acting as if it has taken over the role of Alessa entirely.

Instead, the demon has been using Pyramid as its own slave, and center of tortured entertainment as it knows he has no choice but to obey, as it is part of Alessa. I rarely ever see Pyramid anymore, and whenever I see him he is practically physically exhausted to the point I worry about whether he is immortal or not and how much of this he can take.

He has become so much slower as he struggles to walk for long periods of time. Part of me believes that the demon actually increased the weight of his helmet, just to enjoy his torment. Whenever Pyramid returns to me, he is always covered in different wounds all over his body and exhausted to the point he can barely walk straight. He has fallen numerous times because of his advanced levels of weakness and exhaustion.

Valtiel also seems to be paying for his crimes against the demon, because of the fact he created an item that was able to send Sharon back to the normal world, to her father. The item has two halves, each half can be used to send someone to the real world, taking the half of the item with them.

The other half is with the Order, or as they call themselves now, The Order of Valtiel. It seems as though Alessa did not kill off all of the Order, as there was a separate colony of them that still continues to grow as more people enter Silent Hill for whatever reason Valtiel or the demon allow them to. Unlike Alessa, I still can not control who can come and go through Silent Hill.

I haven't seen Kat for a few years, last time I heard, Valtiel was still protecting her and that she actually ended up falling for him, as he did the same for her. She continued to live in the apartment I used to live in, but a year and a half ago, the apartment got completely ransacked and all the food either got taken or rotted. The entire room I used to stay in got destroyed as if someone, or some people were looking for something. What really stumps me and makes me uncomfortable is how my apartment was the only one to have gotten completely fucked up while all the others were untouched. After that happened, I haven't heard from Kat since. But Valtiel says she is somewhere safe, so I haven't worried much.

But at the same time my apartment was the only one that had food, Pyramid believes that someone was actually looking for me and had very bad intentions. From that day forward, he has been extremely protective of me to the point he doesn't want me leaving his lair very often so no one knows where I have been staying. I may not age, but I am still mortal and can be killed while he can't. He also takes a new route back to the sanitorium so no one can follow him in case someone happens to discover that I am with him.

A few days ago he sensed that someone was following him and was able to make the person get lost while he was able to come up behind them and kill them. He realized the person was from the Order, as they had a few symbols on them that the Order are famous for.
