Note: My first gravi-fic! Yay! This fic is somewhat based off of
Silent Hill 2 (hence the title), but still keeps to the Gravitation
storyline. None of the characters from Silent Hill 2 will be in this,
because it's only based on the game, I'm not taking it
completely from the original gravitation script. Though, there will
be some stuff that comes from Silent Hill 1 and 3. I feel that the
original characters in the story need to be related to the cult, so 1
and 3 are good references. There will also be references to some
characters from the game, but not much. Two or three OOCs, I haven't
decided yet. Yaoi and lots of it! Don't like, don't
read!
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravitation or Silent Hill 2:
Restless Dreams, so don't sue me for them! I only own my OOCs!
Chapter 1: Letters From the Past
(Touma's POV)
When a loved one dies, we're supposed to mourn and cry for days. What do I do? I go off somewhere. A place were nobody can find me. When Mika and I first got married, we went to America, and found this peaceful place for us to have our honeymoon. It was a quiet place called Silent Hill. Mika loved the place. It was so slow, not like the busy streets of Tokyo. Now that I come back here, the memories come back. What started me to come here, you ask? I got a letter, a dead person's letter. Following a person's letter that obviously belonged to someone dead is plain stupid, but I need some peace of mind. As I open the car door to the town, I see the cape line, remembering Mika's smile. The thing that got to me was the fact that I couldn't open the gate, meaning I would have to walk and open it from the other side. Everything's so cloudy, and get I get an eerie feeling as I walk down the stone steps. Leaves brush at my feet and my face is wet by the fog. As I began remembering Toluca Lake, I remembered it wasn't this foggy, or rainy. In my opinion, I must've come during the rainy season. I look up across the like to find a small island, a place I never explored. As the water crashes up against the shore, it sounds like the barking of dogs. The trail is so dusty that dirt cakes up on my pants. The trail ends with a rusty gate.
(Normal POV)
Sakano was dashing around the area, trying to make sense of what happened. Ever since Mika's death, Touma had always been a bit distant, but now he had downright disappeared. Shuichi was the first to notice the CEO's absence, since he had always stopped by to say hi to Ryuichi before he went to work, and Ryuichi commented that he hadn't seen the blonde all day. Shuichi had passed it off as nothing, but everybody else was worried. Ever since Mika's death, he had been so quiet. Yuki searched around his office. He sighed as he thought about how much Shuichi whined for him to come. He trashed his cigarette and looked around the desk for anything suspicious. He quirked his brow at an old folded piece of paper. He bent down and picked it up. In the process, he bumped his head. "Dammit!" he yelled
"Yuki?" asked a voice
He looked up to see Shuichi with a worried look on his face. "Just bumped my head." He said
Yuki opened the paper and his eyes widened for a bit, then softened. Shuichi clinged to his arm. "Yuki?" he asked
"I know where he went." He said
(Touma's POV)
As I see it, the town is desolate, quiet, and cold. I don't care much for the weather, only about finding the hotel. The map I have is a bit outdated, as most of the roads are closed off. When I check the date, it's over three years ago, the same map Mika and I used to find our way around the town. I look down and see blood smeared on the street. Looking up from the scene, I see a figure staggering down the street. Smeared blood, something I'm used to seeing, like when I pushed that bastard Aizawa in front of that car. For a split second, I had felt a moment of pleasure from it. I shook the feeling of pleasure from trying to kill someone and followed the blood trail. The scent of mildew filled my lungs and moisture clung to my face. Turning the corner, I noted that all this silence was starting to annoy me. The trail leads to a road, where an old construction site lay. The sound of static leads me straight to a radio. The white noise started to annoy me so I shook it for a bit. Then came the sound of squishing. Turning around, I see this armless freak coming straight for me. I back up a few feet, and it sprays something out of its chest. The ground under me dissolved, and needles to say, I was scared out of my mind. Before I could do anything else, I black out.
(Shuichi's POV)
Yuki raced down the highway and made a sharp turn. I slid to the side and banged me head. I squeaked and rubbed my head. I winced, knowing that there would be a bump there in a couple of hours. Yuki growled and gripped the steering wheel. "I told you to buckle up ya damn brat." He growled
I got nervous and quickly put it on. Usually I put it on when I get in the car, but for some reason, I had forgotten. The only thing that was on my mind was that Seguchi-san was missing. Yuki didn't say much to me. He didn't even yell at me when I burnt my hand from cooking. I had went to bed last night, alone. The next morning, I found my stuff and his packed in suitcases. He didn't' say much to me this morning just gave me a coffee and told me to come on. He screeched to a halt in the airport parking lot and sat there for a moment. He sighed and looked at me, then dialed a number on his cell phone. His fingers drummed on the steering wheel and I was getting nervous. He hissed and pulled the phone from his ear. I could hear a loud white noise coming from his phone. Yuki growled and threw the phone in the back of the car. I was getting scared, and ready to get out. My hand was on the handle of the door when Yuki grabbed my wrist. I looked up to him in fear. He blinked and then turned away, scoffing. "Look, I'm just upset because my brother in law is an idiot." He said
"What did Seguchi-san do?" I asked
Yuki ran his fingers through his blonde hair. I knew this was one of those moments where I shouldn't talk. "I'm going to Silent Hill and I want you to come with me." He said
I just blinked at him. I had opened my mouth to ask him what for, but I just decided to look at him. "This isn't a good time for me to talk to you about it, just know that we need to go there…before something bad happens."
(Touma's POV)
A droplet of water slides down the side of my face and I open my eyes. A blurry face looks down at me and I blink a couple of times. My vision comes back to me and I see a girl with large green eyes look down at me. She had short raven black hair, and red streaks. I try to say something, but my mouth and throat are too dry. "Good, I thought that you were going comatose." She said
She turned away from me and leaned over to the window, closing it. Finally, the saliva in my throat makes me speak. "Where am I?" I ask
"Brookhaven
Hospital." She said, "The people found you at the old
construction site."
She takes the cloth off my head and puts in
a bowl near me. "Brookhaven Hospital?" I ask, "Am I in Central
Silent Hill?"
She merely nodded at me. She plucks a strand of hair from her head and sits in a chair. Gazing at her, I noticed she wore a black tank top and a pair of jeans. She had her belly button out and had a tattoo on her hip, but I couldn't make out what it was. Over her tank top was a white jacket. "Are you a doctor?" I ask
"Me?" she asks, "Oh no, I'm just a staff member."
"Are there any doctors here?"
She
looks around for a moment and sighs. "No, the only doctor here died
about 30 years ago. It's just us."
I look at her in
bewilderment. She chuckled and sighed. "Not to freak you out, but
nobody really lives here." She said, "I'm a college student
that hopes to be a doctor. I only live in Silent Hill because
Alchemilla Hospital was closed down."
The door behind her opened and in came a woman with short blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a long brown dress that had good trimmings. "How is he?" she asked
The woman's eyes widened, then she had this strange look in her eyes. She turned to the girl and placed a hand on her shoulder. "The final one has come…" she said, quietly
The
raven-haired girl shoved the blonde hand off her shoulder. "Don't
start that again Alicia." She growled, "I've never believed in
the same things you do."
The blonde just shrugged. "Your
parents did, and you will too." She said
She
winked at me and a chill went up my spine. The raven-haired girl
growled and shut the door. "Don't mind Alicia, she's a bit
scrambled in the head."
"What did she mean by 'the final
one'?" I asked
"Nothing." She told me
She looked away from me and at the door. "If I were you." She said, "I would get out of this town as fast as I can."
"Why?" I asked her
"Too many reasons. Why are you here anyway? There's nothing here for you!"
I look down at the sheets, my mouth dry. What could I say to her? "I…I'm looking for someone…" I told her
She quirked a brow at me. "There's not that many people in town." She told me, "If you want a place to stay, Jacks Inn should be vacant."
"Oh…thanks…what's
your name?"
"Sam…no last name, just Sam."
(Yuki's POV)
I looked down at my pink-haired lover. He had no idea what he was getting himself into. He forced himself into my life, and now I can't seem to get him to go away. I love him, but I don't want him dealing with the same things I do. We're lying here at the local hotel in Ashfield. I won't let him come with me to Silent Hill. He has no idea the reason why I came here. The letter Touma had was a fake, now he was on some kind of wild goose chase, and he suicidal. I'm the only one who can relieve him of that pain, because I know what it means to be suicidal. Touma was the one to save me from pulling the trigger. I remember it like it was yesterday…the cold barrel at my temple, and in that split-second, everything could've been over. But, Touma stopped me, and look at me, a successful novelist. Not a happy one, but successful. Well, I was unhappy until Shuichi came along and reminded me what life was like. He acted like a younger version of me, except happier. I stroke his soft hair as he sleeps next to me. Looking outside, dawn was coming, and it was time for me to go. I wrote a note for Shuichi, telling him that I would be back soon and not to worry. I just hope this time he uses common sense and not run after me.
(Sam's POV)
My name is Sam. I'm a resident of this cursed town. Well, not anymore. I'm a student over in Ashfield, which neighbors this town. When I was a child, my parents would make me go to these damn services. The church raised me on this way, and at first, it was the only thing I knew, but then I began to realize, that this wasn't the way to live. Who made me think like this? Vincent. He was a father at the church, and also the man I loved. We grew up in this pitiful town, and when he went away, I knew I had to get out too. So, I found the easiest job I could find, a nurse. Now, I'm back here to find the truth. I sit in the back, watching Alicia take up the same job Claudia did. It amazes me how each sibling is crazier than the other. I cross one leg over the other and I look at the paintings on the wall, the very rules our teachings are based upon. I don't know how long I've sat here, but my leg was starting to bother me. When Alicia did finish, I had dozed off at that point. When I awakened, I felt her stroking my hair. I slap my hand away and I get up. She snickers and a roll my eyes. "Not funny…" I mutter
"I'm
sorry." She tells me, "It's just something I used to do to you
when we were younger."
"Don't start."
She
nods and turns away, hands in a prayer position as she walks down the
isle. I walk behind her because this is what she does when she wants
my attention. It is customary for the priestess to do this. "It is
nice for you to return." She tells me, "Are you staying
permanently?"
"No, I just..." I start
I know that telling Alicia my true reason for being here may be a mistake. She is the priestess, and in control of this town. Her knowing my secrets will be a terrible mistake. She sighs and stops for a moment, then walks again. "Claudia would've been happier if you were to stay here." She tells me
"You act like she's still alive." I tell her
"She
may be. I may be the only one to bring her out of the darkness."
I
make a face, trying hard not to scoff. Sometimes I think that Alicia
has gone crazy like her sister did. I follow her into the hallway,
where some memories come back. Some of these memories involve me and
Vincent running in here when we were children. I can still remember
being beaten for that. She stops in front of a door. "This was
Vincent's office, you want to look in here?" she asks me
I quirk a brow and I wonder if she knows what my agenda is. "Do you want to be next in line to be my priestess?" she asks me
I look at her as if she were nuts. There was no way in hell I was staying her longer than I have to. Once I find out what I need to, I'm getting out of here quicker than Dahlia would chase after Alessa's ghost. She turns away from her, walking down the hall. I open the door to Vincent's office and find it very boring. All he has is stacks and stacks of books. On his desk is a picture of me and him, just a couple of years ago. I reach into my blouse and pull out the necklace that had our rings. I rub my fingers over the engravings. They were our pact, our marriage vows, and now he's dead.
(Yuki's POV)
I've been walking for at least an hour, and have yet to find anybody out here. I think I'm in Old Silent Hill, at least according to this old map I have. Before leaving Ashfield, I managed to get a map from some old man named Frank Sunderland. He said I would get killed traveling in here, but I don't think so. He had a small memorial to his son, who supposedly disappeared around here, but I don't believe it. Years before that, there was some kind of fire that destroyed most of the town (AN: reference from the Silent Hill Movie). All these suspicions only want me to be here more. I sigh as I think about Shuichi. I knew he was worried sick about me, and I hope he takes my advice to say where he was. I turn to see a pink-haired boy run into a school. "Shuichi?" I yell
The figure pays no heed and I run after it. Looking at the sign, the school is called Midwich Elementary School. I open it and I immediately hear the sounds of laughing. "Shuichi?" I yell, "Come out you damn brat!"
There
was the sound of crying and then the sound of small footsteps. The
door to one of the classrooms open. "Alessa!" yells a voice,
"Come back!"
The air around me gets thin and I find it hard to
breathe. My footsteps get dizzy and it was that exact moment I was
deciding to stop smoking.
