Chapter Eleven

"They've been gone way too long," Khadrim said, not actually caring, but stating a simple fact. His buddy Gray Goose had made him warm and worry free.

"Yep," Amera said, taking another drink from the bottle. After a long moment of silence, she said, "We're going to die."

"No, we're not," he said. Uh-oh, worry is coming back.

"Yeah we are," she continued. "We're going to die here, terrified and not with the person we love."

So you think... Khadrim thought. "Well, I'm sorry you couldn't die together," he said, thinking bitterly of Kurt.

"What, Kurt?" she asked, looking at him as he took a drink. "No, I don't think I love him. He's great... But I think he's just the rebound guy. Which is sad, because I think he's really in love with me, and I don't love him back."

Khadrim stared at her. "Mmm," was all he could say.

"What about you, Mr. I'm-too-good-for-anyone-here?" she asked.

"Say what now?"

"You heard me," she spat. "You're like, the hottest guy at school and you won't even go out with anyone, you could have, like, any girl you want - Oh my God, I sounded like Kitty just now, like, totally." She giggled a bit.

"No, I can't have the girl I want, because when I met her I thought she was in love, but now I'm not so sure," he said.

"Wait... That hurt my head..." Amera laughed. Then she got serious again. "Doesn't matter." She got out of her chair and sat on the floor. "Ah, that's more comfy... We're gonna die without finding 'the one' anyway, so who cares."

Khadrim was on the floor next to her in an instant. "I care. We're not going to die. I won't let anything happen to you." He put his hand on hers. "I love you." Then he realized he must be really drunk if he actually admitted that. Ah, the hell with it. He said it again.

She stared at him, comprehension seeping through the alcohol and into her brain. He loves me? But I love him too! What do I do now? He said it again! My head hurts. God, I'm gonna have a wicked hangover. Wait, I'm dating Kurt! Kurt... He's looking at me... And... And...

Amera kissed him with everything she had. He kissed her back with just as much.

"It's getting dark," Kitty observed, stating the obvious.

"Guys, let's stay in here tonight!" Lance said, staring at a sign.

"What now?" Toad asked. "Is there food in there?"

"Better," Lance said.

"Nothing's better than food..." Toad replied as his stomach let loose a loud gargle.

"Weapons," Harry said with a smile, now looking at the sign. It readSilent Hill Police Department. "Great."

"I still say food-"

"We're all hungry, Toad!" Kitty snapped at him.

They walked up to the door. "Locked of course, and Aloho-" Harry started but was shoved aside.

Kitty phased through the door and unlocked it from the inside. "Good thing I'm here to help you manly men out."

"And there's no monsters!" Toad said happily.

"Nope, haven't heard any since, like, Pyramid Head." Kitty looked down at her communicator, and her smile faded. "Oh Hell."

"What?" Toad asked.

"Um, the batteries. They're, um, dead." Kitty muttered.

"Stay alert," Harry instructed. "There might be monsters in here after all."

********

"Dead end!" Kurt yelled at the wall. "Vhy vasn't there a freaking sign then!"

"Bloody hell," Ron said, back to the wall. He was white as a ghost, his hand gripping Hermione's.

A large ape-like creature with two grotesque heads was searching for them in the fog.

"Secumsempra," she whispered. "We'll have to use Sectumsempra."

"But we've never used-"

"I know, but we have to try, Ron!"

The creature finally spotted them and surged forward at an alarming speed.

"Shitshitshitshitshit-" Ron said, clenching his teeth.

"Sectum-" Hermione started.

"Hang on!" Kurt yelled, grabbing them both by the elbow. He then teleported, taking them with.

Ron looked ready to faint when the reached their new destination, another alley. "Where'd it go?"

"Ron, we went somewhere," Hermione said, just as matter-of-factly as ever, though she sounded terrified as well.

"I just don't know vhere," Kurt said. "I had to, but ve could have ended up stuck in a vall or in front of another monster-"

"Yeah... Please stop," Hermione said, looking as pale as Ron now.

The radio then emitted the dreaded static.

"God damn it..." Kurt growled.

"Let's get inside somewhere," Hermione suggested. They headed out to the street and quickly began trying doors. Another sound soon joined the radio fuzz.

Scrape.

"NO!" Hermione cried, then Ron grabbed her hand and they started to run.

********

"Left!" Bobby yelled as the group ran through the fog. They hadn't looked back to see if the dog was following them, but they were sure it would finish its meal. Static warned them that up ahead were creatures, so they followed Bobby's directions and went down the alley to the left.

"Pietro, go find a safe place ahead!" Hank called.

"Got it!" Pietro replied, then super speeded his way forward. He was back a moment later. "Follow me!" He went to the front of the group and led them to a small tea shop nestled in a small bundle of buildings.

Ginny slammed the door closed after she was inside, and the twins proceeded to put protective charms on it. As she sat on a dusty old sofa, she sighed, "I still don't understand what the hell is going on."

Hank sat in a chair at a small tea table. "When we figure it out, we'll be sure to tell you."

********

She abruptly pulled away from him and stood up. "I can't do this," she said, then swayed and landed back on her ass.

"You're right, I'm sorry," Khadrim said, then returned to his chair.

"I'm dating Kurt."

"Yes you are, that was very wrong of me-"

"Shut up."

"Okay."

Amera took a deep breath. "I'm dating Kurt. Kurt, the funny guy, Kurt, the sweet heart, Kurt... My best friend." She paused. "That's all he is. My friend. And I've been stringing him along..."

She was quiet for a long time, but Khadrim stayed quiet like she'd requested. When she finally spoke, she sounded like she was fighting terrified tears. "I was so... Scared, when you stayed behind to fight that worm thing. And when we got lost, and you weren't there..." She sniffled and rubbed her nose on her sleeve."I'm scared for Kurt, but... With you, I felt... Broken."

She looked at Khadrim and her heart, her body ached. "I am in love with you, and I am a horrible person."

Khadrim pulled himself back down to the floor next to her. "You're not a horrible person. Just confused and scared. And you know I love you."

She began to cry, then he kissed her with even more passion than the last.

********

"In here!" Kurt cried, ducking into an unlocked doorway and shutting it behind Ron.

"Do you think it saw us?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know," Kurt answered in a whisper. It was pitch black in here, so dark even he couldn't see anything. There was no static, so they assumed it was safe, but just to be safe they had best be quiet.

"It's dark in here," Ron said normally.

"Shh!"

"Sorry."

A loud clanging noise filled the room, then an "Ouch!" a second later.

"Ronald!"

"I said it was dark!"

"Yes, that much is obvious, and that's why you stay still-"

"Shut up so ve can listen for it!"

"Well, it definitely heard that!"

"Oh, come off it!"

"SHUT UP!"

********

"I vote we stay here tonight," George said, kicking up a cloud of dust as he sat on another old sofa. The tea shop had a homey feel to it, if you ignored all the dust and blood.

"I concur," Pietro said, sitting in a chair and putting his heels on the table in front of it.

"Dean's... Gone..." Ginny mumbled, tears sparkling in her eyes. She didn't let them fall.

"You guys knew him well then?" Bobby asked.

"Oh no, English teenaged wizards abound all over the world, didn't you know?" Fred snapped.

"He was my ex-boyfriend." Ginny said. "How did we get here? How did he?" A thought suddenly pushed its way into her head. "What if Harry's here too?"

The mutants all exchanged glances. "Travels with a know-it-all witch?" Pietro asked.

"And a red-head, hey, looks kinda like you guys!" Bobby said.

"You hit your head as a child, didn't you," Hank said, gaping at him.

"Oh great, the world's doomed if Harry's stuck here too," Fred grumbled.
