Lucy looked around where she was, and everything looked strange to her. She was in a classroom of all places, and it didn't look anything like a Japanese school. It seemed much more different than that, almost like she was in America. She looked around calmly, trying to figure out why and how she had gotten there.

"Is this…..a Dream?" she thought to herself.

She quickly snapped out of her silent debate in her mind and turned to the source of the noise in the room. All the children were gathered around the desk of one lonely little girl, sitting in the center of the classroom. She was pretty, for and a little girl, thought Lucy. She had long raven black hair and piercing blue eyes. But her eyes where drowning in tears for that the other girls of the class were bullying her badly…hitting her and throwing anything they could grab and chucking it at her with a hatred unlike she'd ever seen from a child. The children yelled in their bullying of the little girl…loud and filled with poison.

"BURN THE WITCH!!!!! BURN THE WITCH!!!!! BURN THE WITCH!!!! BURN THE WITCH!!!!"

But even in the depths of all that shouting, Lucy could still hear the muffled crying of the little girl, silently crying out to the others…begging to be left alone. Lucy couldn't watch it no longer, this had to end.

"Stop…..Stop……STOP IT NOW!!!!" she cried.

She glared at the other children and released her Vectors, launching them at the nearest ones and swatted them away one by one, as if they were nothing but flies. She didn't kill them, but hit them with enough force to knock them out cold... After she dealt with them, she ran over to the little girl as she cried. She bent over a little and wrapped her arms around the girl and lifted her head to see her eyes. They truly were beautiful eyes, a deep blue unlike anything she'd ever seen. She took her hand and wiped her eyes and forced a small smile.

"It's ok…the others won't hurt you anymore. I won't let them."

The little girl looked up at Lucy in awe and could only nod.

"What's your name?"

The little girl went even more silent and closes her eyes for a second and opened them again and looked at Lucy.

"Alessa…..Alessa Gillespie"

Lucy smiled and nodded.

"Alessa, that's a pretty name for such a pretty little girl."

She took her hand and stood her up. "Let's go"

Just as soon as she said that, a loud siren began to echo out over the area, loud and long.

"An Air Raid?!" Lucy said to herself silently.

The siren did sound like an Air Raid alarm but that was certainly not the case. For when the siren started to blare, the walls began to change. Blood began to bleed from the walls and the entire area started to blacken and turn dark. Fire burst from the door and spread all around the walls of the room, as if the vision of a nightmare…

"What is going on?!"

Lucy tightened her grip on the little girls hand and looked around for a way out but to now avail. The windows were replaced with blood covered spiked bars. Then suddenly she turned her head back to the door. A loud roar could be heard from the other side. Lucy braced herself for the next thing to come, preparing her Vectors for an attack at anything that may pose a threat. The door blew off the hinges and flew at the two of them as Lucy quickly wrapped her Vectors around them like a protective cocoon and the door splintered into pieces. She looked through the dust to see her enemy and glared into the darkness beyond the door. Her eyes gazed upon a dark being, a tall and muscular human-like figure with a giant broadsword that almost looked like a cleaver, it had a giant pyramid-like metal helmet for a head and it growled at Lucy with the force of a thousand angry souls. It said something to her….she couldn't make it out much but for some reason she understood it……clear as day…

"Silent……Hill….."

And then without warning….the Creature attacked, the broadsword aimed strait for Lucy's heart…

"Ahhhhh!" Lucy screamed.

She looked around to see herself covered in sweat…still in her Futon…still at home. She sighed and raised her hands to her face and breathed out heavy, her mind still racing from what she saw.

"Why?…..Why are these dreams….still coming?! Why won't they end!?" she cried out to herself.

Silent Hill……Silent Hill……Silent Hill…..Every dream she had lately had something to do with Silent Hill. It all started when…

"Lucy-san……Lucy-san! You alright?!…I'm coming in ok?," said a voice beyond Lucy's door.

Yuka opened her door and walked in and kneeled to down to her. Worry was plastered all over her face as she looked over Lucy, checking to see if she's ok. Lucy wondered why Yuka always was the one to show up after one of her nightmares. Always Yuka to hold her…..Always Yuka to comfort her…

It wasn't that she didn't like it, but she just couldn't understand it.

"Yuka….I'm fine….really. It's…It's just…" Lucy began.

"You dreamed of it again…..didn't you…." she said at once, grabbing a towel and wiping the sweat from Lucy's face.

Lucy paused and nodded. " Yes……Silent Hill"

Yuka sighed and placed the towel next to her side and took Lucy's hand in hers.

"Lucy…I'm worried about you. These dreams of yours scare me, and they've gotten worse and worse. I mean….they all started when Kohta…," Yuka started but stop just before.

The brunette went silent and closed her eyes. Lucy knew why she didn't finish her sentence, it would hurt too much. They all had a hard time dealing with it, but Yuka and Lucy had it the worst aside from Mayu and Nana. Lucy felt a sting of pain in her heart as she saw Yuka shed a tear from her eyes. Lucy hated to see Yuka cry. It was unbearable for her, in every since of the word. The pink-haired girl slowly wrapped her arms around Yuka and pulled her into a comforting hug, Lucy's own way of showing that she knew and understood her pain.

"Shhhh….don't cry, Yuka," Lucy said softly, silently shedding a tear of her own.

"I….I miss him too…"

Lucy woke up groggy as ever, looking around her room with sleepy eyes. She got up and walked out of her room and headed to the back of the house as she did every morning. She slid open the door to the den and walked up to the alter and kneeled on the pillow before it and lit an incense and placed it in a stand. She bowed before it and let her eyes gazed upon the picture in the center. It was a picture of Kohta, smiling and laughing with her and Yuka, Mayu and Nana in the front hugging each other and smiling at the camera. She smiled a little at the picture of him and sighed, a single tear falling from her eyes.

"I miss you….everyday. And it never gets easier."

After paying her respects to Kohta, she went into the kitchen. Before she even reached the doorway she could already smell the breakfast that was waiting for her. She knew that it could have only been Nana or Yuka, Mayu never really was one to cook but loved to help all the same.. Lucy walked into the kitchen to see her pink-haired little sister already setting the table for them to eat..

"Ohiyo, Nana-Chan…," Said Lucy, still in her sleepy manner.

Nana turned around and almost dropped the plate she was holding but kept her balance. She smiled sheepishly and nodded.

"Ohiyo Gozaimasu….you know you have to quit sneaking up on me like that…,'' she replied.

Lucy chuckled lightly.

"Oh…have your senses as Dicilonius dulled that much you can't even see me coming up behind you?" she asked in a mocking tone.

"No…it's just that I no longer see you as a enemy and now that we don't have to constantly fight like we had too 2 years ago…I…don't have to watch my back all the time anymore. And…I trust you, Lucy-Chan.."

Lucy let a small smirk spread across her lips and shook her head. She was taken aback a little at her reply that it made her think.

"Has it already been two years? Seems like yesterday to me…," she thought to herself.

"Well anyway…Nana, I need to you go get Mayu for me. She's good with Computers and I need her to search for something for me."

"Really?…what do you need to look for?" asked Nana innocently.

"A Place….Called Silent Hill…"
