The City of Malice

After some hours I finally got into a some sort of town, or perhaps city. It didn't look too large when I entered it, however, it was insanely full of houses.
The streets were small and didn't take me anywhere, because at the end of them, there was always another house.
And there were houses around the streets as well.
It was a city full of houses, yet I haven't met anyone who'd be willing to talk. Hells, I haven't met anyone overall.  It was silent and empty, yet too full.
It was also hard to find at least a bit of vegetation. No trees, no grass. Just empty houses, most of them destroyed, some looked completely new, as if they were finished yesterday, and some looked new, but they still had Christmas or Halloween decorations, although it was spring.
They were colorful. Each house had a different color. But all of them hurt my eyes if I tried to stare for too long, for those colors were screaming loudly that no one's allowed to look.

"You shouldn't be here!"
Huh? I heard a female voice behind me, voice of an elder woman, for sure, but it sounded fresh and pure.
I turned around to see who it was, and I indeed was not mistaken. It was an old woman, 80 years old at the very least, with no hair. Her skin was completely ruined, and so were her clothes. She had a lot of cuts and bruises all over her, and it seemed like her clothes got quite some cuts as well.
"You shouldn't be here." she said again, and I just stood there, thinking about what to say to such poor soul.
"By the gods, what has happened to you, dear?"
"You shouldn't be here." no success.
The old lady hasn't even blinked, nor have her lips moved since she started talking to me. When she's spoken, it sounded rather like echo.
"You shouldn't be here. You shouldn't be here. You shouldn't be here."
Then she stopped, and just stood there again. Almost as if nothing happened.
The air around me started drowning me with silence. It was so silent it started tearing my ears apart.
And then..
.."OFF WITH HER HEAD!"
This time, it was a completely different voice. It was still a woman, but it sounded young, angry, and after those words were spoken, the only thing I could think of was malice, although it barely made sense to me.
However, I didn't care about that as much.
After the echoing stopped - and it took its sweet time - the lady has, for the first time, changed the look in her eyes. It was so evil, just like the smile on her face she all of a sudden had.
She started running towards me.
Thanks to all gods, I still had the armored girl's horse with me, so it wasn't too difficult to get away. Also the fact that she was around 80, if not more, helped me quite a lot, although she was truly fast for her age.
After some time, I lost her. My horse was running forwards for quite a while, at least half an hour, but we were still in that cursed city anyways. As if it has no end.
After half an hour more, we finally stopped. I actually wasn't quite sure if finally is a fitting word, as our reason to stop was a bit strange.
All houses had a different color; some colors I've never seen. But at the end of this road, there was nothing but a giant black house. No colors. Barely any windows, although it had some. My horse stopped right in front of it, and refused to move. No matter how hard I tried.
"Please, we need to get out of here!", but that didn't help either.
In fact, it just made it worse.
My horse got mad. He tried everything to get me out of him. And whe he finally succeeded, he left me there, in front of that black house, ran away, and I fainted out of pure pain.
