I HOLD NO CLAIMS TO ANY MEMBER OF THIS STORY.
ONLY CHAD AND CHRISTY BELONG TO ME!
Chapter One
Land of the…Lost?
"I told you not to take that left."
"Yes, I know that."
"Why don't you listen to me?"
"You were right, I was wrong."
"When will you learn?"
"I'm sorry."
"Seriously, you need to listen-"
"Dammit Christina! I said I was sorry!"
"Then listen to me next time, Chad! Then maybe we'll know where we are!"
"But we do know where we are, Christy. We're in Silent Hill."
Christina Rush shook her head, not sure if she would be able to handle the stupidity of her brother for too much longer. They had been on their way to Huntington West Virginia for a Metal Concert they had been waiting on for months now and ended up getting lost along the way. Trying to find the right route on their map as Chad drove, they came across a sign that led them to a town called Silent Hill. Christina had insisted on just going north until they came across the next little gas station but Chad insisted of pulling down the left roar and entering Silent Hill. There, just outside of the town near a huge cliff the car stopped working and the twins had been sentenced to walking towards the town on the road themselves, looking for some help as ash fell from the sky. At first they had thought that it was snow but quickly learned the truth. They had been hoping for some help in this little town but it was completely barren. Nathan Drugs was closed. Harvey E. Hood was nowhere to be seen. Purdy's Pub. It was all closed and dead as an eerie feel settled over them.
"I feel like we're in Resident Evil," Chad sighed, shoving his hands into his pockets. He stared down into the alley before them and the long set of stairs before them.
"You're not really thinking about going down there, are you?" Christina asked her brother.
"Why not? All the doors are locked and no one's around. Maybe there was an earthquake or something and they all went to hide down here in a shelter or something."
Christy stared at him for a second. "Where the hell do you come up with this shit?"
Chad shrugged with a grin before leading the way down. "Who knows? You're the writer, aren't you? Why don't you come up with them?"
"Because I'm not an idiot." She grumbled under her breath, following him.
Chad and Christy Rush were twins at the age of 26, Chad 6'4' in height and Christy at 6'0'. She knew she was tall for a woman and hated when people brought it to attention. Chad had dark brown hair cut short with a pierced ear with the Knight Chess Piece hanging on the left. He was in a pair of black pants with a white band shirt on, his matching jacket tied around his waist and boots with a few chains on his neck.
Christy was in black leather pants and flat boots with a black, spaghetti strap with lace designs around the collar. Her pale skin was left showing behind a scorpion necklace as she wore a long, black jacket; her nails painted black as well. Her hair was a dark brown as well, just longer than her brothers and thin.
"If we don't find anyone soon," Christy began as she trumped down the stairs. "We're going back to the highway and walking back to that small gas station back south, got it?"
"Yeah, yeah," Chad waved a hand over his shoulder. "Don't worry, Christy. We'll make it to the concert. This is why we leave a day early, you know?"
Christy sighed and gazed around them. Chad had pulled his lighter out to light up the dark area but there was nothing here either. "Where the hell are we? Where is everyone?"
"I-" Chad's voice was drowned out by a huge, creepy wailing sound. "What the hell?"
"A siren?" Christy glanced around. "What the hell? Is there a fire or something?"
"It has to have something to do with the empty town. I told you they were hiding from something. A natural disaster or something."
"Uh, Chad? I don't think this has anything to do with being natural…" The man turned and looked at his sister; she wore a horrified look as the gazed at the walls around them. Ran had begun to fall on them but at the same time the walls and floor seemed to be peeling away and floating towards the sky.
"What the fuck?" He asked.
"Chad, let's go." Christy pushed her brother forward and they soon found themselves in some kind of fence maze. It was old and rusty and there was a cold draft mixing with the wind.
"Christy," Chad grabbed his sister's hand. "Stay with me, all right?"
"Ye-"
"SHARON!"
They turned at the other voice. Someone was down here with them. They could hear the woman calling for someone. They searched the area just to find a small girl run past them, a woman with a lighter trying to follow her. They then noticed the man that was hanging from the top of the fence in front of the woman; there was only a few fences between them but Christy was still relieved to finally find someone.
"At least we know we're not alone." Chad seemed to agree.
"Yeah, we-" Her mouth dropped open. "Chad…what is that?!"
It looked like a small child, but it's face was twisted on the sides of their heads, almost as if their skull was separated from their bottom jaw, and looked like they were burning from the inside out.
"Hey! Lady!" Chad cried out. "Behind you!"
The woman looked over at them before turning around to catch the creature as it let out a scream and reached out for her; there was more than just one. The woman began to scream and backed away from them, crying for help as she searched for a way out of the fenced in area.
"Jesus Christ!" Christy cried out. "Look at them all!"
"Hey! Lady!" Christy turned to see that her brother had pulled a small gap open for a way to let the woman through. She didn't ask questions and hurried over to help. The new woman clung to Christy as she began to try to find a way out of this pit of death. Cha caught sight of a door nearby and hurried off, not even bothering to wonder what was inside it. Chad followed after, lifting his foot into the creatures' faces if they got too close to the running trio. Chad was able to get the door open and as the girls followed him into the house, the woman tripped over whatever it was that had been baring the door closed from the inside, dragging Christy down with her. The creatures were right on top of them. Their hold burned and Christy kicked them off as hard as she could but there was too many of them. Chad grabbed a chair and whacked them away, getting them back as he helped his sister and the new woman to their feet. Then, the creatures seemed to fade away into ash, disappearing again.
"Christy, are you all right?" Chad demanded.
The woman closed her eyes, breathing hard as she tried to calm herself down. "Y-yeah." She turned to the other woman to find that she had passed out. "She passes out at a time like this?" She asked, shaking her head.
"Yeah, well," Chad took a better look around them to find that they were in a dilapidated bowling alley. "What the fuck just happened?"
"Something that we're not going to understand…except now I think that I know what happened to the Townspeople."
"It seems like it," Chad sat down against the wall. "Christy, get some rest."
"Sleep? How can I sleep after something like that?" She asked, sitting beside him.
Chad laughed at his sister. "Trust me, I won't go to sleep and I'll get you moving if those things come back, all right?"
Christy didn't reply but sat there instead. Believe it or not, she fell asleep without even meaning too. She woke up the next morning to light and voices talking. Opening her eyes she found herself against the wall still, Chad and that woman close by, talking.
"Ahh, Christy," Chad smiled. "I would like you to meet Rose."
"Rose? Then who's Sharon?" Christy asked the woman.
Rose wrapped her arms around her legs. "Sharon's my daughter." She went into a huge explanation about why she brought her daughter here and led up t the events of what had happened with those creatures the night before. "Your brother told me that you two don't live here. Have you seen anyone else in the town?"
"No," Christy answered. "You and that little girl are the only ones we've seen." She turned to the Jukebox that was playing ring of fire. Imagine that.
"Well, I vote that we get the hell out of here," Chad stood up.
"What about my daughter?" Rose asked.
"We can look for her on the way to our cars but we have nothing to fight off those monsters if they return." The man opened the door, revealing that ash was falling again. "We have a gun in our car. It'll help, even if a little bit."
Rose seemed to agree and together they took off down the road, happily leaving that strange alley behind.
"Still not one damn person." Christy grunted as they ran down the street. "What the hell is going on? Is this hell on earth or something?"
"It just might be," Chad nodded. "But I thought there would be fire, not ash, raining from the sky."
"Let's be pleased that…" Rose's voice faded as they came to a halt. Before them the road ended. It looked like the end had been carved off, the houses on the edge half destroyed and leaving just a huge pit below.
"Now, I know this wasn't here yesterday." Christy placed her hands on her hips, disbelief in her voice. "What is going on?"
"Only the dark one opens and closes the door to Silent Hill." At the new voice, the trio whipped around to find an elder woman, dressed in ragged clothes and long, wild hair, standing behind them.
"Finally," Chad sighed. "Human contact!"
"We don't have any idea what's happening." Rose stepped towards her. "Do you know what's going on here?" The strange woman backed away. "My daughter," Rose began carefully. "I'm looking for my daughter. I'm afraid that she's been hurt."
"We've all lost our children," Was her answer. "Our light. They deceived me." She stepped forward and Rose backed away. "They're evil. Their hate. They hurt my child. They did terrible things to her. Alessa." The woman sounded like she was going to cry. Christy's fists tightened. Anyone who would hurt a child…
"This is my daughter, Sharon." Rose pulled out her locket and showed it to the strange woman. "She sleepwalks, so you have to be careful…but if you see her, please, tell her to wait for me."
"Yes," The woman began in a weak voice. "She's mine." The twins watched in confusion, not sure what to do as the two women fought over the locket. Rose pushed her aside and took off, running away again.
"Come on," Chad grabbed his sister and pulled her after him. Christy turned her head to stare at the woman on the road. After all the shit she saw last night it didn't seem to be the only time it had happened so it was no wonder that woman was crazy.
"Well, what the hell are we going to do?" Christy demanded. "What can we do? So far, nothing expect look! We gotta find ways to protect ourselves."
"Then back to the car, like I said." Chad told them. The man led the way, knowing the route, and soon they found the twins' red jeep and Rose's car. Rose's car had run into the back of theirs, explaining the wreck that the woman had been talking about earlier.
"We'll get it fixed later," Chad told her as he sifted through the back of their vehicle, tossing their bags aside. "Let's just worry about getting the hell out of here safely."
"I'm not leaving without my daughter!" Rose told them.
Christy sighed. "We're not going to let you stay here and look for her on your own, either Rose, so it looks like you've got some company during your travel."
Chad didn't say anything, but he didn't object either as he pulled out the Glock he had in the back of the car.
"Only 36 rounds…damn. We gotta be careful with this, then." Chad sighed, tying the holster around his hip. He then pulled out a large knife and stuck it into his boot.
"Hey," Christy frowned. "Why do you get both the gun AND the knife?"
"One, I know how to shoot. Two, I know how to shoot. And three, I won't try to kill anyone with the knife like a psycho." He told his sister. "Besides, you don't need a knife or the gun."
"Oh? And why is that?"
"You've got your voodoo shit. You can take care of yourself."
Christy glared at her brother. "Chad, I am not a witch. I am gothic. I don't know any fucking magic! How many times do I have to tell you this?"
Chad grinned and turned his back to her. "Whatever you say, Potter."
Christy opening her mouth to retort but she was beaten by a new voice.
"Neither of the three of you move."
Chad glanced over his shoulder and found a cop standing behind him. He looked at Christy. "What in the hell did we get ourselves into?"
She hung her head. "A whole hell of a lot of trouble, it seems."
