A/N: This story takes place alongside the digital story "The Hunger". That means it takes place thirty years before the original Silent Hill. However it still takes place during the modern age (there are cell phones, etc.)
My reason for doing this is because it's easier for me and since there is no real date on the timeline for Silent Hill, not inappropriate. Enjoy.
Prologue: Amour Fou
The town was burning. Not just one house. Not just one building. Not because some idiot left the stove on. The entire town was burning to the ground. Central Silent Hill (located in Paleville, the northern half of the town), which used to consist of the towns public service buildings received most of the damage.
In the haggard building that was the former home of Alchemilla Hospital, a young man in his mid-twenties was holding what would have been his future wife in his arms and rocking her back in forth. She smiled pleasantly, as if the last few hours had never happened. She placed her hand behind the dark man's head and brought it to hers. Their noses were touching.
"I'm sorry," she whispered in his ear.
"It wasn't your fault they-"
"No. Not that. I'm sorry I didn't believe you."
"It doesn't matter now," he said in a voice almost as calm as hers.
"I always thought you were crazy." she smiled.
"I thought the same about you. Amour fou."
"Amour fou?"
"French for 'Crazy Love.'"
"Amour fou…" she repeated.
They kissed deeply. It was the best kiss they had ever had in their short lifetimes. Probably because it was the last one they would share.
At least with each other.
Meanwhile outside of the hospital, riots had taken place. Everything was burning. The sounds of mad laughter and destruction took place. On this night, Silent Hill wasn't so silent.
