Madness: Shadows Tales

Moon's hospital pt5

17
Cherri burst through the ward's doors screaming " addie my lil Adeline!! Come to me. Where are you!"
In the distance cherri heard addie yelling but not for her . she was screaming at the evil spirits lurking within the ward.
Cherri ran in her direction. She seen her surrounded by a crowd. Cherri yelled as she felt a sensation through her body. She shot out a lightning bolt of light.
It struck Reamus and exploded. This ticked him off. He turned looking directly into cherri's eyes
He then laughed and spoke in his menacing voice,"dont you remember me! Doll! Its been far to long and now you found your way back home. How's Marshall?? Oh wait he's here. Would you like to see him." Reamus laughed harder.
Marshall appeared looking like his former self. Not the ugly gruesome half crazed killer he was when he died.
Marshall spoke to cherri softly and with remorse in his voice," im sorry cherri! for what ive done. That wasn't me. I wasnt in the right state of mind but dear you need to get out of here quick or this will be the last thing you do. He shows no mercy!"
Reamus laughed then grinned speaking surely but swiftly with a high and mighty tongue,"oh Marsh! She's gonna be struck here with you. She'll take my place. While i make the great escape. This girl will be our redemption. Now step aside. Its time for the show."
Addie screamed running to cherri's protective arms. It was more for the safety. as she couldnt litterally be  held by them.
Reamus yelled at her," get back you wretch. Youve been nothing but a problem little one but you need to come back right now." He grinned ear to ear."
Cherri spoke up with mustard in her voice," she's leaving with me. You hear me hangman. I remeber you. I might not have been able to see you at the time but NOW i can! This girl doesnt belong to you. She's coming with me. Get that!!"
Reamus was not use to being told what to do. This pissed him off. He raised his voice to a new depth shrillling and gleaming with tons of meaning," listen here you lil bitch. This square cake of a lass belongs here in hell! for i will give her more than death now. Your going to watch. Then im going to feed on you. You little piece of garbage. Ive been trapped here for god knows how long. thanks to old saint nick. This is my chance to be free and im going to have this.
He roared everything shaked in the room and every room around it. The dust was dusted off flying around the room. as old carts hit the walls and all the thing laying around in the abandoned ward.
A black smoke started to fill the room around them. Reamus made his ascent to the crying child. who struggled to look up. as she was terrified holding onto cherri's make believe body of ghostlyness.
Cherri looked down at addie speaking softly," you gotta believe in us baby girl, hold my hand we can do this together. Just believe! I have you and im not letting go. Chin up. Lets send him to hell."
Addie looked up wiping the tears from her cheeks. She grabbed cherri's hand. The pair yelled their own electrifying roar in unison. As a lightning storm erupted from their bodies destroying while disinerating everything in its vicinity.
It had been a massacre bolts flying everywhere. Striking with a thunderous boom. The evil spirits looked like a sponge. they clouded out. then imploded into little whisps of smoke that became nothing.
The abamdoned place now seemed to have a new spark in it. A spark of light and hope. The place looked the same but felt brand new.
Cherri looked at addie then marshall as she spoke," lets get the both of you outta here. Get addie some cookies and you marshall. Lets get you into the light and outta of all this darkness."Cherri smiled.
Marshall looked at cherri. if he could of showed tears he would of but you could tell the sadness in his voice when he spoke," im really really sorry cherri for everything. There is no excuse but that thing had me in its grip. I went nutz. Im sorry to marty and ill never be able to tell him that or that i loved him. Why are you doing this for me? Helping me?
Cherri was about to speak but damon burst through the door saying," what did i miss and whose he?"
18
After marty had talked to cherri in the body of the nurse. All he could think about was what she had said. He didnt know if he believed it. Even tho she said things that only they would know but he did know that sidney was evil and needed to be stopped.
So marty would try his darnest to stop the evil man who had turned his hospital into a place from which death had been the new normal.
18b
After sidney had talked to damon. He walked the hospital grounds. He was strolling the outside by the shed sitting on the bench next to it. where they kept the riding lawnmower and other supplies to keep up the grounds.
The outside of St. Anthony's looked like the inside dim and adismal.
St. Anthony's was surrounded by dead hollowed out trees. With dead grass all around them. It didnt matter what the groundskeepers did to keep the place alive and lively. It just wouldnt work.
There was an old bench that was missing a panel of wood next to the shed.
Sidney was sitting on it. twirling his hat with one finger. looking as tho he was waiting for someone. His dead gray hair was being blown around by a light breeze.
Marty had seen him on the second floor from his office that overlooked the backside of the hospital. He spotted Sidney. Then he decided to go down and have a chat with him.
18c
Marty walked outside finding his way to sidney.
He approached sidney and sat down next to him.
Sidney spoke to him in his low deep voice. as tho he was looking into his soul. with his strange deep dark eyes. Which had originally been hazel," i been waiting for you. It's Marty's party! Thought you would have been here sooner. when i felt you creeping on me through the window. What's your issue big guy?"
Marty spoke to him in his confident strong voice," what do you want here sid? I know how much you contribute to this place. Keeping it alive and such but sid your doing more than you let off. I kno it."
Sidney sat up and put his hat on his head. Then showed his ugly half grin as he spoke in a dark tone," dont concern yourself with whats going on. Just know your getting the money to keep this place afloat. What i do is not your concern. Ok Mr. Moon!!"
Then sidney took his pointer finger pushing it into Marty's chest. Marty felt a dark feeling overtake him for a second.
Marty shook it off. Then he spoke with a mightier than now voice," i cant doo that sid. If your causing problems. Like i think you are. then it needs to stop or you can go. we dont need your dough!!"
Sidney laughed then spoke with darkness that seemed to surround the air with a musty wickedness. As marty seemed to be dazed by it. " i will do as i want sunshine. You cant stop me. I have your peers by the balls. They love me and you cant stop me. my dear mort. for if you keep getting in my way. You'll find yourself in a bit of a prediciment. Just a heads up for you big shooter."
Marty was enraged by this. for this was his hospital and no one was gonna take that from him or do dastardly deeds to his patients. Who needed help. He wasn't gonna let this swine take it from them.
Sidney stood up to a full figure. He looked as tho he was as tall as the trees with a shadow that seemed to eclipse the sky. his eyes showed its darkness. He spoke with malice' a thundering hammer as the clouds around him started to gather. Letting out a boom.
He said," marty if you interfere with my work. Itll be the last thing you do. I hate to repeat myself. As i just did but ill remove you from this earth. Get in your place. You know what that place is. You dont want to see what i can do marty. First Cherri now you. You're all alike. People like you are the most vile creatures. You believe in your goodness. That it means something but ill show you what is bought by that."
Then sidney walked away
19
While marty was thinking about what sidney had said. Espicially the part where he brought up his dear beloved cherri name.
Wondering if there was more than meets the eyes to cherri being dead talking to him through the nurse.
Sidney had walked away from marty and into the hospital. He then went down to the ward. Ghosting through the locked door. He went to the furthest room.
It use to be a janitors closet. Sidney walked right into it without opening the actual door. It was a small dark room that hadnt seen daylight in years.
Sidney walked to the back wall and put his hands on the wall. They let out a dark smoke. The wall opened with a black smokey hole. He walked through it and down some lite grey rock stairs.
Where the walls stood tall. holding black lanterns that lit the staircase grey. He glided smoothly down the stairs in a circular patern. all the way to a black door with a grey handle. He opened it. The he walked into his secret underground lair. Where his black smokey follower awaited.
19b
Sidney's underground lair had tons of tunnels running under the hospital. Each with dark goo dripping from the ceiling onto thick black veins that ran to a solid rock formed room.
A central hub you could call it. The room was carved by the rocks. They ran all over the floor,walls and ceiling.
All different dark colors grey,black any color that showed the darkness of its enviroment.
The veins hung from the ceiling and walls absorbing the goo from above. They then would generate a black pulse that seemed to follow to the hub.
Sidney followed them with his creature gliding behind him. They entered the room. where a black glowing ball of smoke levitated in the air.
The veins hung over it. dripping the pulse of dark light onto it. As it seemed to be feeding from it.
As sidney walked in. its pulse glowed then it spoke to him with a rumble that seemed to float across the whole dungeon.
Its voice was dark and creepy but as it spoke this time. It reminded a person of a stern talking to. when you had done something bad and got caught doing so."Ive noticed the spirits have passed. Someone destroyed them. We needed them. You need to get rid of that woman and man. Sid if this plan is to work. You know what must be done. Im not playing with you anymore boy!"
Sidney replied back sounding like a scorned but sad dog with its tail between its legs"im sorry! It wont happen again. We'll get it done. I have a plan for the woman and man. Trust me once more. The last plan was botched but i have a better one to draw out the saint. Sir i won't dissapoint you again. i promise."
The levitating ball of doom spoke with an echo that shook the room," you better not or next time ill be feeding on you. You know the end result. You free me. ill free you from this place. You know the deal now get it done and by the way. Your lil buddy creeping behind you. I have something for him to do."
The three continued to talk a moment longer. Then sid followed the veins behind the ball of smoke to a room where they formed themselves into a coffin. Sidney watched as they opened for him. He then layed as they formed back over him.
Sidney had been thinking the whole time" you old fool! you need me more than i need you but i need you so here we are. Trapped by eachother inebiation to live."

Marty was sitting in his office. When he grabbed cherri's favorite scarf. a small wide light purple fluffy one. It was hanging on his coat rack.
   He also grabbed her wedding ring from his locked drawer and a money clip. he had bought her. when they first got together. It had minnie mouse with a red and white bow ontop her head.
Marty remembered when he was a child. His mother told him," if you have items with history. Meaning! You can call to the dead. Talk to them for a short while. You can feel them in the air. Marty. Its one of the greatest sensations to talk to a loved one you thought you'd never see again"
  He put all three things on his deck then called cherri's name. First he did it softly. Whispering cherri but he heard nothing in return. A book unpublished.
  Then marty rose yelling in anger with tears rolling down his cheek," cherri! Cherri i need you now. Talk to to me please. I miss you! I need your guidance. Im sorry i didnt believe you. You always know what to say. Unlike me baby doll. Plz answer me. Plz"
  Cherri had felt his voice ringing in her ears. She followed it to her dear marty.
  She stood infront of him. as he yelled. Then he threw the ring right through her. It stopped in mid air floating back to where she stood. Levitating in the air as it tossed and turned spinning around. Faster and faster.
  Cherri then lighted up. with her ghostly glow. A grey foggy air in the form of her.
  Marty fell off his chair. He Stood back up gaining conposure as he said frightfully" Cherri? Is that you?" Marty rubbed his eyes staring forward. as they grew bigger.
  Cherri spoke," its me! My sweet marty. I miss you too. I love you. Did you try to stop Mr. Saint-Claire? More things have gone astray. We got rid of the evil in the ward. Your father was there. The evil there controlled him but thats for another time. I need you now!"
Marty spoke trembling" i tried but he said he wouldn't stop. I dont know what to do dear. The board wont get rid of him. He's doing something to them. I know it.  Im so happy to see you. I love you too."
  Cherri went to hug marty but her arms went through him. She spoke again as her voice was direct and stronger than ever" they're fools always have been. Greed is their endeavor! They feed from its seed but marty you gotta step up and do something about sidney or this place is gonna die and be reborn into madness. The time for talk is over. Its time for action."
  Then cherri disapeared into a whisp of smoke. The ring fell to the ground and marty felt a feeling of sadness wash over him.
21
Marty kept a watchful eye out the next couple of days waiting for mr. Saint-claire to show his dirty evil mug. So was cherri and the rest of her posse. With the added addition of their newly aquired Marshall.
  On the second day. after all the previous events unfolded. He appeared in the childrens wing.
  He put addie into a trance. Sidney had walked up to her. as she sat eating her animal crackers. watching an old black and white movie.
  He gave her a lollipops. She then grabbed his hand. They proceeded to walk out. When marty had seen them.
  He walked up asking sidney," what are you doing with her? She goes to her room. She's not to leave. Addie's in recovery and needs rest."
  Sidney spoke in his usual tone saying" today's not the day Mr. Moon! She's coming with me. Remember you stay out my way. I stay out yours!"
  Marty replied with a stubborn defiance," sorry sid the kid! I know what you said but i cant let you. If we have a problem you can go. The board puts up with your shit. I wont. Ill tell security to escort you Off the premise!!"
Sidney's eyes went dark and he flung marty across the room with a thought. Marty banged his head passing out. Sidney then took addie and headed out.
21b
Cherri's posse heard a voice in their heads. They felt dazed seeing a blurry glowing being standing infront of them. It was St. Anthony. He spoke in a holy voice that was strong and mighty," the time has come. Their making there move. Get to the courtyard. They'll be there when you arrive. You must hurry or the girl and this place as you know it will be dead to this world."
Cherri and the gang rushed to the courtyard but he told them one more thing," the man is but a puppet being controlled by the creature that follows. You must kill it. when the time is right you'll know what to do. Be ready. I believe in you."
21c
  Sidney and addie arrived at the courtyard. He put addie in the middle of the garden of beautifully put flowers.
  The light was showing through the glass above. It spotlighted addie and sidney.
Sidney levitated the girl in mid air. He spoke with a heavy darkness that rumbled the room," i have your line my fair man. She's your descendant. Do you dare stand for her or do you watch this place fall. Show yourself or face the death of this place."
There was no answer. Sidney yelled again," this is your last chance St. Pointless! Im about to put a point in this sentence. More of a punchuation. Im stamping this fucker with a decline now show your fucking self.
Still he got no answer. Then sidney stood up as he seemed to grow ten feet. He stretch his arms out to full length releasing black smoke everywhere.
The smoke creature stood behind watching,controlling the vessel. where it stood. It too screamed but it didnt send any words with meaning but black smoke of it own up into the light. Darker and thicker than sidneys.
  The creature flew into addie. Addie's eyes turned yellow on the inside and black on the outside. She fell back to the ground.
Cherri and the gang ran in. Cherri shot a light at sidney but after shooting the smoke out he had dissapeared into nothing. So they hit nothing but his coat. which had been falling to the ground..
Addie stared at them speaking with thunder and lightning a strong deathly pounding voice," i dont need the St. Anymore. Ill take this girl and live through her with all this power. Kneel before me or feel my wrath."
Cherri ran forward leaping into addies body herself
  The body struggled as the two seemed to be fighting. Both cherri and the creature shot out.
Cherri screamed," this is it!! You're done here. Your leaving this hotel. Checkout time is NOW!!"
Cherri felt the sensation. Strong as ever shooting out a bright light. It hit the creature but did nothing.
  The creature seemed to laugh. It charged cherri. Then marshall and damon grabbed her hand.
They all felt the sensation combining throughout their bodies like electrical current. They put everything into it. Even themselves.
As they turned to light themselves shooting directly into the evil being. It blew up sending shockwaves everywhere.
When the smoke and dust cleared everything was dead the flowers every living thing but addie. She was the only survivor.
21d
Every bad thing left the hospital and it went back to buisness as usual. The machines worked. People seemed to get better from diseases that where spread by sidney. While addie magically recovered.
Addie and marty had a talk but addie couldnt see the dead anymore as she had recovered but she told marty. Cherri was alive. We're friends.
Marty was sad but accepted his wife was a saint herself. So this made him happy. Just to know she looked out for him. He gave addie her scarf.
