Chapter 24: Freedom

Valtiel allows me to enter the hotel once more, Pyramid decided to remain outside it so if Kat decides to take my offer, she nor her child would feel uncomfortable around him.

Valtiel walks with me up to the hotel room, we both stop at the door and I watch as Valtiel knocks on it.

Kat immediately opens the door, a bright smile on her face while seeing Valtiel.

I peek around Valtiel to see her, her expression immediately changes once again to one of anger and annoyance.

"I thought I told you to leave!" She snaps out at me.

'Hecate has thought of a plan to get you and your son home, if you wish to hear it.' Kat and I hear Valtiel say into our minds.

Kat looks at me again, her face brightens, "...Really? How?"

"Since my sister was able to control who was able to come and go through Silent Hill, I should be able to do it as well." I say, smiling a little.

She narrows her eyes, "Oh, so you don't know how to do it then, do you."

My smile disappears, "...Well...not at the moment I don't. But Valtiel can teach me, he knows a little bit about how to do it, I should have no problem opening the realm and allowing you, your son and Valtiel to escape before the demon realizes what has happened."

"You will help Valtiel leave too?" She begins to smile a little, looking at Valtiel.

"Yes, and anything else you want." I say, smiling.

"...But what if the demon realizes too soon? Won't it kill us all for trying something like that?"

"Yes, it will. But I will take the blows for you, I won't give up until you are free from this hell, just to show you how sorry I truly am..."

"But what about you? Don't you want to leave too?" She asks.

"No. There isn't anything for me in the normal world, and I can't let this monster take over this realm. All it causes is pain and suffering to the creatures that reside here, I can't leave here knowing that I could have freed all these creatures from their pain. Who knows what the demon will do once it gets stronger, it was strong enough in the beginning to take over an entire city and cause this much pain and destruction. Just imagine what it could do if it gets stronger, it could get strong enough to destroy the real world and replace it with this reality that we have all around us. It could become a global apocalypse! I can't let that happen..."

"...So you plan to kill the demon?"

"Yes. I have to..."

Kat looks up at Valtiel, worry on her face, "What will happen to you in the real world? Will you have to go back to heaven?"

Valtiel gently takes her hands, holding them with his, 'Yes. That is what will happen, but I could become your guardian angel. It would become my duty to protect you, even if you can't see me I will be there beside you until the day you die.'

"...Then I can join you in heaven?" Kat asks, smiling.

'Yes. There we can be together forever.'
