American Horror Story: A Tale of Terror from Silent Hill

Chapter 33 Reply
"You are alone, you are lonely."

The words on the note were still concise, and the handwriting was exactly the same as before.

But this time the conversation changed from asking questions to making statements.

It seemed as if the relationship between them had become closer.

Thinking of this.

A chill ran down Maria's spine, and her hair stood on end.

Maria hugged the pillow in fear, her body trembling, and her eyes looked in all directions of the room.

It was as if there was an invisible person in the room, staring at her.

Baling: I'll keep an eye on you.

Maria's eyelashes trembled slightly and she couldn't stop shaking. She wanted to scream, but the sound was stuck in her throat and she couldn't scream out.

Here it comes again, why does it appear again!
Maria almost collapsed, tears streaming down her face.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Honey, it's time to get up and have breakfast."

Seeing that she was still not coming down, her mother Amy went upstairs to urge her, otherwise she would miss the school bus and it would be troublesome.

"May I come inside?"

Amy asked tentatively when she didn't hear a response.

"Dear...Maria?"

Kaka!

She turned the doorknob and found it was locked from the inside.

Bang bang bang!
The violent knocking on the door finally drew Maria's attention to the outside.

"mom!"

Maria crawled to the door.

The door opens.

Before Amy could see what was happening, Maria hugged her tightly, overcome with emotion.

Patting her daughter's back gently, Amy comforted her softly.

Lobby.

"You look terrible, what happened?"

After her emotions calmed down a little, Amy asked with concern.

"I, I encountered something strange." Maria told everything about the mysterious notes she had received these days.

Mother Amy covered her mouth in surprise and felt unbelievable, but soon, pain and sadness appeared in her eyes.

Her good daughter, could it be... could it be that she is suffering from depression!
Maria is still so young.

"So, you're saying there's a guy who may or may not exist."

"Every night, I wait until you fall asleep and then secretly slip you a note."

Father Dan was confused and wondered what these were.

"Are you kidding me? Maria, you really should go out and make some friends."

"Also, you didn't sleep well last night. You look terrible now."

Dan frowned, staring at his daughter.

"Daddy, I...what I said is true, please believe me."

Maria was suddenly interrupted when she spoke. Her father sighed and shook his head.

"Okay. I'll ask for leave from school for you. You stay home today and I'll make an appointment for a doctor to come to your home."

After saying that, Maria's father went out wearing a suit.

"I... I'm not sick." Maria said weakly as she watched her father walking away.

"Honey, I understand." Amy, who suffers from depression, looked at her daughter with an expression that said "I understand you."

in the afternoon.

The doctor's appointment arrived.

"My name is Rose Carter, a friend of Dr. Dan. You can call me Rose. You must be Maria."

Rose took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Yes."

Maria was a little depressed and didn't seem very happy.

"Tell me about your experiences. You can tell me anything that makes you unhappy or uncomfortable." Rose is a psychiatrist. Dan specially invited her to see if his daughter has any mental problems.

Maria had never met Rose, but with her encouragement, she recounted her supernatural experience.

Rose listened quietly, her expression calm, simply because she was a professional.

"This is horrible. Excuse me, Maria, do you smoke marijuana?"

Maria kept shaking her head. Although she smoked, she never touched those things.

Rose then asked about Maria's past sleeping habits and eating habits, and inquired about her family medical history.

Finally, after carefully reading the white note left by Maria several times, she ended the conversation.

"Dr. Carter, is Maria okay?"

Mother Maria looked at Rose anxiously.

Rose has a good idea in her mind. She can tell who is really mentally ill and who is pretending to be mentally ill.

"There's nothing serious. There's a high probability that he's mentally fine."

"My long-term insomnia has led to neurasthenia, and coupled with the bad things I've encountered recently, I'm too anxious."

"So hallucinations are possible. Sleepwalking is also possible."

"I'll prescribe some sedatives for Maria to take for a few days and see the effects."

Amy said goodbye to psychiatrist Rose with gratitude, and turned around to find that Maria was not in the living room, but had hidden back in her room.

"Honey! Honey! You must remember to take your medicine."

Amy tried to persuade her earnestly, as she really didn't want to see her daughter suffer from mental illness.

"It's none of your business, I'm not sick!"

Maria shouted angrily through the door.

……

into the night.

Swallow one tablet and wash it down with a glass of water.

In less than ten minutes, Maria, who had been in a depressed mood all day, entered the state of a sage with no desires or demands.

"Ah, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore."

After spending the whole day browsing her phone, no one at school cared or noticed that she didn't exist.

Oh no! Or maybe Mark would notice, because today they have one less person to laugh at.

Everything in the past is just a little bit of wind and frost.

Maria looked away.

Under the effect of the medicine, her timidity was hidden and some bold ideas came into her mind.

Since the mysterious man stuffed the white note into her mouth and didn't really hurt her, why should she be so scared?

At first, Maria was just instinctively panicked, as if she knew deep down that the man was dangerous and had the ability to hurt her.

So she had to be afraid.

However, she changed after taking drugs, and the weak Maria of the past was dead.

Now comes Brave Maria.

She made a bold decision, arguably the bravest one in her life.

She wanted to respond to that mysterious man.

Since we don't know whether there really is a mysterious person who can post the note without anyone noticing, then her every move may have been seen for a long time.

You pay so much attention to me, could it be that you like me?

A strange thought suddenly flashed through Maria's mind, and the more she thought about it, the more bizarre plots she couldn't help but imagine.

The more you lack something, the more you desire it.

Although she was lonely, she had always imagined herself to be a popular figure, the spotlight in the crowd, with the charm to captivate everyone.

Every smile and frown can cause cheers.

In America, where party culture is prevalent, cheerful and sporty girls are the most popular, while lonely and nerdy girls are the most despised.

Unfortunately, Maria, who is sensitive and has low self-esteem, belongs to the latter type.

"Okay, let's do it."

She picked up the pen, tore off a piece of paper, wrote a sentence, and stuck it on the other end of the headset.

Just a simple sentence.

——Who are you?
