Chapter One

Sam woke up to find his wife shaking him out of his dream. As his eyes opened he could only make out a few words, but not enough to make a sentence. After the blackness surrounding his eyes vanished he suddenly realised the horrible truth. His house was on fire. As he got up he ran to the window and noticed that not only was his house on fire but the whole town was on fire.

'What the hell happened?' Sam turned to find his wife gone and the bedroom door open. 'Dammit.'

Sam followed his wife out the door and down the stairs. When he reached the bottom flames appeared from thin air engulfing the whole living room.

'Janet!' Sam couldn't move past the stairs. His only means of escape was out the window from his bedroom, but he wasn't leaving with out his wife. 'Janet, say something!' Sam turned and looked upstairs only to see a little girl standing and laughing. But this was no little girl laugh, it had a menacing tone to it and it was very deep. Before Sam had a chance to speak she vanished after flames had surrounded her.

Sam looked away and stared back into the living room, which had now an occupant in it. 'Janet! Is that you?' Sam realised how dumb the question sounded but he had to be sure.

Since there was no reply he had to find out who it was for himself. He did, after all, know everyone in the town.

He looked around for something he could cover himself with. Since nothing was there he ran back upstairs to get a blanket from the bed. Once arriving back downstairs he covered himself with the blanket and ran into the room. He made his way through the fire and into the living room. Once he met up with the person he realised he had no time to stop and chat, so he grabbed the person. To his surprise he found out that it was a mannequin. Sam had no time to stop and think so he threw the mannequin through the window then followed it through the now smashed open window.

Once outside he looked around for his wife but couldn't find her anywhere. 'Janet!!' He could barely hear his voice over the screaming and roaring fire. Sam made his way to the back of house to see if she had escaped. As he made his way he heard a scream. But the scream was abruptly cut off and was replaced with a gargling noise.

Sam ran around the house only to see someone's feet being dragged along, through his back garden gate. Whoever that was, Sam wasn't going to let him get away. Sam followed the drag marks made from the person's feet into his back garden then into his neighbours garden and then back out into the street again.

As Sam made his way back onto the street he heard a strange sound coming from around the corner of the house. Sam followed the noise but when he arrived at the source of the sound. What he saw was something he would only see in a nightmare. He saw his wife standing still with her eyes closed then a huge monstrous creature came up behind her, wrapped his arms around her then pulled her apart. The two pieces of his wife lay still on the ground. Sam looked up to see that the creature had gone.

Sam held the top half of his wife tight in his arms and let a tears form in his eyes.

After spending some time mourning he realised that the screaming hasn't stopped. 'I gotta get outta here.' Sam started running towards his car. On his way he heard the screams die down, almost to a halt. Finally, inside his car Sam started the engine and began to drive.

As Sam drove through the burning city he saw some things that didn't look real. At first he thought it was delirium because of the smoke from the fire. But this theory was proven wrong when something stood in front of the car and was hit.

Sam braked hard making a screeching sound. Once the car came to a halt Sam sat in the drivers seat for a while longer before mustering up the courage to see who or what he hit. As a precaution he left the keys in the keyhole, in case he needs to make a quick getaway.

Eventually, after going over hundreds of scenarios in his head, he got out of the car. He slowly made his way towards the body. He assumed that it is either dead or unconscious. As he got closer he noticed that the body was a man and then it twitched, several times. Either he is dead and that is his nervous system acting up or he is alive and can't move. But if he as alive he would be awake and running for his life.

Sam was now only five feet away from him, 'Hey are you alright?' There was no reply. Sam knew what he had to do, and hopes that he won't regret it. Sam was now leaning over the body, which had stopped twitching. He moved his hands around the body then rolled him on his back.

Once the man was on his back Sam looked at him and nearly jumped out of his skin, or something resembling that. Sam covered his mouth determined not to be sick. But the sight and smell was too strong, so he let it all out. Once he recovered he looked back at the body. It looked like someone took a long knife or a sword and split the man's head open, but there was no weapon left lodged in the man's head so it may have been a murder.

Sam got up from his kneeling position to the sound of shuffling feet. Someone was behind him. Sam didn't know what to do; he had no weapon and didn't train in any self defence because in a town like this he didn't expect to need any. But in a situation like this usually you would let your primal urges get the better of you.

The shuffling didn't stop. Sam thought that it was better to see his killer instead of keeping his back to him. Sam soon wished he hadn't. What he saw was unnatural, it wasn't of this world. It had grey skin and was naked with one arm, which didn't move. It had two legs and its face looked like someone stirred it with a wooden spoon. Its fingers were unnaturally long as well; they looked like worms growing out of its hand.

Sam began to back away back to the car. The creatures speed didn't change. Once he was in he turned the keys, heard the engine roar to life then he drove towards the exit of Silent Hill.

Unfortunate for Sam that his house was at the opposite end of the exit, so it will take him about two more minutes to reach the gate. It doesn't seem long but it felt long enough. As he drove he noticed more creatures making their way onto the road. Some where small and had circular mouths, Sam didn't even try to guess what they were for.

He was closing in on the gate as he approached he cursed loudly at the locked gate. Thinking quickly Sam remembered that the controls were placed right beside the gate but since Sam but the protection of this town above anything else he had it moved to a more secure area which was inside the gatekeeper's home. He mainly did it to stop vandalism and the gatekeeper didn't complain.

Sam's car was now parked outside the gate. Sam knew it was dangerous to leave the car without a weapon but if he doesn't try… Sam didn't want to think of the outcome. So without further hesitation Sam left the car and started towards the right hand side of the gate. He made his way through bodies that had tried to escape by climbing over the wall, but they were either cut up by the barbed wire or dragged down by one of those creatures. Sam never felt so responsible for these people before in his life.

Sam did his best to ignore the undistinguishable bodies. But ignoring them was only half the battle, the smell was the worst of it. No matter how hard he tried he seemed to throw up every five minutes. Eventually he made it to the gatekeeper's house which had the front door opened, without hesitation he ran into it.

Curious for any survivors Sam checked each room, when he arrived at the bedroom he was sickened at what he saw. On the double bed was a woman with her arms tied to the top corners of the bed. The clothes she wore were ripped off her while she was tied up. Sam could tell that what happened to her was sick. She had bruises all over her body; some of her hair was pulled out showing that the rapist had pulled her head back. And what made it worse was the fact that her throat was slit open but only so deep that she must have died slowly while possibly being raped. Sam couldn't believe that amidst the chaos, the screaming, and the death that some sick bastard found it the appropriate time to rape and kill an innocent woman.

Sam walked towards the body; he untied the knots then wrapped her up in a blanket. If anyone finds this body he wanted her to have some dignity. Sam left the room with tears in his eyes and a furious rage. If he finds who did this he will make him wish that the monsters would have gotten to him first.

Momentarily forgetting about the gate controls he left the house and began searching around for any signs of tracks, footprints or anything that would show where he went. Sam couldn't find a thing, so when he calmed down he went back inside to resume searching for the gate controls. Sam eventually found the controls in the living room he flipped the switch and watched the gates open. On his way out he heard something hit the ground. Sam looked around to see where the noise came from.

'Hey!! Over here!'

Sam turned and saw a tall man, wearing jeans and a denim jacket, lifting himself off the ground. He also noticed that the man had a smile on his face. Sam felt the rage grow inside him, but first he had to make sure. Sam walked towards the man's position, the stranger also approached him.

'Hey, my name's Chuck Turner.' The man held out his hand, waiting for Sam to respond. Although Sam felt more like hitting him he had to show that he suspected nothing.

'I'm Sam Nolton.'

'So you're the mayor I was told about.'

Sam's eyes flared, 'By whom?'

'Some broad I met a while back.' Chuck gave a smile to Sam, a sort of knowing smile.

'I see, did she help you out?' Sam asked with controlled anger, but not for very long.

'On the contrary, I helped myself.' Chuck began to laugh, almost like he knew that Sam knows what he did.

Sam felt the rage bubbling inside him. He clenched his fist trying to keep calm until he knew for certain. 'So what did she tell you?'

'Not much, she mostly tried to scream.' Chuck was now laughing louder.

Sam couldn't believe that he admitted to raping a woman to a stranger, and the mayor of the town no less. Sam walked closer to Chuck. But Chuck didn't back off, he just stood still. This irritated Sam. Sam was now looking into his eyes. Maybe he said that because he thinks he will get away with it.

But before Chuck had a chance to react, Sam grabbed him by the throat and shoved him against the wall. 'You sick bastard! Why did you do it!?'

Chuck couldn't speak, Sam was holding too tight. So he loosened his grip a little.

Chuck felt air reach his lungs again. But he made no attempt to escape because he felt weak and he didn't want to test Sam again. 'That's like asking a serial killer why he kills. I did it because she happened to be there.'

Sam couldn't believe what he was hearing, 'So instead of helping her you raped and killed her. Why did you kill her?'

'Because she tried to fight me off. Simple as that.'

Sam felt the rage inside him reaching maximum now. So in a fit of rage he punched Chuck in the face, knocking out several teeth. But Sam wasn't finished. When Chuck tried to get up, Sam kicked him in the crotch. Chuck fell to the ground, and clutched his pants. Sam then went behind Chuck and began kicking him repeatedly in the back. Every time he forced a kick he could hear something crack. Eventually something eventually broke making Chuck scream in pain. Sam then raised his foot ready to deliver the finishing blow, but then stopped and realised that he will become no better than Chuck. But no matter how many times he played this message in his head, he couldn't stop himself. After landing his foot on Chuck's head he heard a loud cracking noise and watched as blood spilled out of Chuck's eyes, ears and nose. Sam stood back in shock at what he did. But the growling noise across the street snapped him out of it. After hearing the growl Sam decided to get a weapon so he gave the area a quick search then came over a rusty drain pipe. He pulled it off the wall and held it tight in his hands.

Sam turned around and looked at what he had done. Part of him felt proud of what he did, but another part of him felt sickened. He couldn't believe he had become what he sought out to destroy. He wanted to smash the pipe against something but he needed it for protection, from those creatures and from possibly other psychos.

Sam ran back to his car, avoiding any fights with the creatures. Once he arrived he noticed someone in his car. Slowly he walked up to it. He hid under the driver's side window. Quickly he opened the door and held the pipe, ready to attack.

A woman looked at him with shock and fear. She didn't move to the passengers seat or try to push pass Sam. She just sat there unable to speak.

'Are you okay?' Sam knew by looking at her that she wasn't, although at this point if anyone had said that they were okay they would be lying. At the moment Sam is petrified. Sam tried to get closer but she backed off a little.

'He did it.' She said it quietly as if not to let anyone hear her.

'Who did what?' Sam wished that this wasn't another rape victim, which would drive him completely over the edge.

'The man in jeans raped and killed my sister, and made me watch.' The girl looked down at her feet. She began to cry.

'If it is any comfort I killed the man who raped your sister.' Sam didn't know whether telling her that he killed him was a good idea.

'Did you hurt him badly before you killed him?' The woman had a look of disgust on her face, maybe she wanted him to die. After all he did deserve it.

'I killed him.' Sam looked at her to see a reaction. She held out her arms and hugged him and began crying uncontrollably on his shoulder. Sam then did the only thing he could do so he hugged her back.

After they let go she moved to the passenger seat. Sam sat on the driver's seat, switched on the engine then drove out of Silent Hill.

After an hour they left Silent Hill the woman beside him gave her name to be Juliet Calders. She fell asleep almost instantly after telling him. Unfortunately she woke up screaming, 'Stop it! Stop it!' There is no doubt as to what she was dreaming about.

Sam felt sorry for her. Not only was her house burned down but her sister was viciously raped right in front of her. But she hasn't explained why he let her go. So Sam gently woke her up to ask her a few questions.

'God, it's still dark?'

'Well you only slept for an hour.' Sam could see the worry on her face but he had to know why Chuck let her go. 'By the way, earlier you said that the man in jeans raped your sister, but why were you spared.'

'I knew you would ask. And I was going to tell you some other time but I may as well do it now. While he was… you know… I was trying to untie myself from the chair he had tied me to. But it was hard because I was too compelled in telling him to stop. Once she was dead he got up from the bed pulled his jeans up and walked over to me. Luckily from the kicking and moving about I did I loosened the rope around my feet. So there he was standing in front of me with his hands undoing the button on his jeans. He said something but I can't remember what he said, I just remember being very scared and sick. So he came closer, and when he was close enough I kicked him in the crotch as hard I could. It sent him staggering. That's when you must have showed up because I ran out of the house, he tried to follow but all of a sudden he stopped. I felt that he didn't deserve to get away so tried to find some sort of weapon that's when I saw your car, that's when you showed up.' Tears came from her eyes again, 'then you told me you killed him. I was glad he was dead. But I wanted to kill him. Does that make me a bad person?'

Sam couldn't say; right now he didn't want to speak. Instead he wrapped his arm around her and comforted her. They both suffered greatly in that town.

At least they were miles away from Silent Hill.
