Hello folks! This is my very first fan fiction so please leave any comments and critique for me to improve on. Expect to find many grammatical/spelling error as I'm not as good with grammar then I am with ideas. Just a few things to clarify... The events in the story take place in between SH2-SH3. When Luke (Yes I'm just that conceited to name the main character after myself. No not really it just helps me to visualize what I'd do in his shoes) is thinking/talking to himself and says "you" it's supposed to imply he's "talking" to his mother. Look out for things specific from past SH games. I'll try to put at least one in each entry. (There's one in this one!) Please note this story will contain spoilers of the first 3 games in the series so if you haven't played them yet I suggest you do and read this later. So please sit back, turn on some nice SH tunes to set the mood and please enjoy my first fan fiction story-
Silent Hill: Ravaged Innocence
By: Luketehgamer
Chapter 1: Twisted Past
"Luke?" the doctor said, snapping his fingers in front of my face. I jumped and took his gaze off the crack on a nearby desk leaking out tar. I looked around the gray dull office around me. Mom sat in the corner of the room on the brink of tears, Dad held her close. "Now listen Luke, your mother and father are worried sick about you. We can't get you better if you don't listen to me. OK?" My emotionless expression blankly looked off straight ahead. The doctor wrote down something quickly in his small white notebook. Mom was now bawling uncontrollably, "Oh, Luke... I-I..." Dad held her hand tightly and slowly led her out of the bleak room. I watched with a tearful stare as my parents left through the skin covered door.
I shuddered and the doctor sighed. "Why don't you want to talk Luke?" He shook his head, "I just want to help you. Don't you want to live a normal, healthy life again?" Again? I looked at him with exhausted apathetic eyes. Small cuts ran down on the sides of the doctors face expanding, dripping blood down his now unrecognizable face. I gasped as the doctor leaned forward, an image of a wailing man flashed where the doctor's face was. "Luke, are you alright? Luke?" The doctor jotted down another few lines into his mold covered notebook. I frantically looked to his right at the clock wondering when he'd be able to leave but found not a clock but a bloodshot eye staring menacingly at him, its dilated pupil twitching furiously. I turned away quickly but found just as soon as he had averted the terror another, a writhing embryo hung from an umbilical cord near the doorway making screeching sounds as it swayed. I screamed and fell from the chair. The doctor frantically pressed a button on his tar drenched desk. "We need a nurse in the counseling room immediately!" I twitched uncontrollably as a blood covered nurse with big breasts grabbed my arm and gave me a shot. I heard Mom scream in complete horror as I passed her in the steel-wire bloody waiting room. As the nurse dragged him into a dark corridor my vision blurred and he heard a loud yell bellowed throughout the dark halls, "Release me!" I was now lost in complete darkness. My mind fuzzed, my ears ached, my eyes now closed as tight as they could. I let out one last plea, "Please... Help me..."
There was a great flash and I was in the store again. "Sir? Sir?" said an annoyed voice. I jumped awakened from my vision. I stood looking in to the bored eyes of a young black haired female cashier. Her nose piercing and dark make-up made it obvious was a wild youth. She popped some gum in her mouth, "Paper or plastic?" I fidgeted for a second still out of it from my vision, "Uh, p-paper." She stared at me and sighed bending over the counter and grabbing a bag before cramming all my groceries into the one bag. "Uh, thanks." I said grabbing it from her hand covered in black nail polish. She looked down checking out her hand as I left and muttered sarcastically, "You have GREAT day sir..."
I looked around the rainy corner store lot admiring the ever normal yet beautiful scenery as the rain pounded the bleak dull street. I took a minute looking up at the gray cloud filled sky as the peaceful lucid drops fell onto my tired and weary face. I closed my eyes letting out a deep sigh of relief and waited for about five minutes in the calming rain before finally heading towards my car. Once I got in my car I whispered to myself, "What are you doing?" I opened the glove compartment and grabbed your letter, reading it to myself again,
"Dear Luke, my beautiful baby boy,
I've missed you more than you know Luke. It pained me not to be able to see you after your recovery, though I'm sure your father has taken great care of you. I miss you so much, honey. Please, let me see you, if not for this one last time. I'm stuck in this strange town, longing, waiting to see you again. I don't think I have much time left. I need to tell you something. Something I've needed to tell you for quite some time, something you should have known since your birth. There are strange things here, things that shouldn't exist. I want to hold your hand again like when you were a child. I'm sorry. Please, let me see you again, my dear precious child, Luke. I'll be waiting in Silent Hill.
With all the love I could ever give, Mom."
Your note left me with so many questions ever since I found it that one early morning on my apartment doorstep. Why are you there? What do I need to know? Where's Silent Hill? What happened that's so important? Is this even real? But you're really gone. I haven't seen you since I left the asylum... Those strange missing memories in my mind, shattered into tiny pieces. What caused me to forget? The past I had before the day I woke up in the asylum's clinic is gone, hidden in a great veil of fog. The past... What was my past? I had always had these visions. Did I? My whole life has been like a freakish dream where reality is twisted and what once was truth now is false. What is real and what is not, there is no way of telling. I stopped myself, "Mom... What's going on?"
I remember the days we spent together. I couldn't just go back to living as normally as I could... And, you are there, I couldn't just leave you. I took your picture out of my pocket, looking at your sweet smile as you cut my birthday cake when I was eleven. There were few times when you and I ever looked like this... We both had visions of things no human being should see. I put your picture back into my jacket before hopping in my convertible and driving off down the road to Silent Hill. Don't worry Mom; I made a promise to myself. I promise I'll find you.
I turned on the radio as I drove down the eerie roads. The immense fog made it difficult to find a working station but I managed to find a signal playing a favorite song of mine, Heaven's Night. I felt immersed by my surroundings. The fog ahead parted as I continued on this seemingly endless drive and yet, I was blissfully content with it. As I saw the silhouette of trees outside my windows, the melodious smooth beat of the music made me feel as if I was in a place untouched by any other living being. I looked out my window as I passed a strange well with a peculiar red journal on it. It was another eternity until I saw more then just fog. Through the fog I could barely make out in the dense forest a small house of some kind. I wondered who could be living up here. As I continued driving forth into the unknown I found that my environment was simply intoxicating. The music seemed to entrance me deeper into a lull and soon I found myself drifting into a deep sleep. The sensation was strange and I began closing my eyes willingly. It was as if I was a baby in its mothers womb; falling into slumber and submission as the car rolled along the long never-ending road. As I closed my eyes, the fog seemed to creep over my car engulfing it completely and leaving me blissfully unaware.
Part 2 coming soon... If you have any questions (that don't involve the future of the storyline...) send me a message and I'll get back to you as fast as possible. Please leave any critique/comments that I can improve upon and thank you for reading my first entry in Silent Hill: Ravaged Innocence. =]
