Title: Manifest (or Silent Hill: Manifest/Silent Hill 5: Manifest. For the sake of fanfiction, I'm just going to call it Manifest here.)
Full Summary: "It's not a town -- it's nightmare manifest!" Harley has to help those in need -- that's the promise she made four years ago. When the quiet town of Slient Hill mysteriously calls her in desperate need of medical supplies, how can she resist? She's the only one able to help at the time. However, her father warned her about the imminent danger lurking in that town -- for once, Harley should have taken his advice.
Rating: T (may change to M later)
Linked to: Silent Hill 4: The Room,
Pairing(s): Henry/Eileen (this is not really a pairing kind of story though. This will attempt to stick with the original SH feel of things, so minimal romance if any.)
Disclaimer: I do not own any part or whole of the Silent Hill series -- it belongs to its own respective owner(s). I only own my original character who is thrust into the world they created.
A/N: I've been reading through Silent Hill forums and watching fan-made stuff on YouTube, and a plot bunny struck me, as well as the conversation in this chapter. More chapters coming very soon -- meanwhile, enjoy this teaser of a prologue. :) Reviews much appreciated.
A/N: A lot of the info. up here is subject to change as the story progresses -- I will update this section when time permits, amongst writing and uploading chapters.
"Why is this such a big deal? Seriously, dad, a town can't hurt a person. Only the town's people can, and they need my help, so they would have no reason to hurt me. …It-- what? What do you mean 'that doesn't matter'? Of course it matters! It's a rundown, cut-off town -- they've run out of hospital supplies and I'm the only one who can help.
"…So what do you mean, then? …wouldn't care? What? What on earth -- … you are being ridiculous, dad. If they need the supplies, why would they hurt me? They'd thank me. … Like I said, a town cannot hurt a person! That's so ridiculous! Only the people can.
"…For crying out loud, do you understand how insane you sound right now? 'Both the town and its people are dangerous'… please!
"Have you ever even been to Silent Hill?
"…What do you mean, 'not technically'? Either you've been, or you haven't. … Then how do you know the town and its people are dangerous? … You can't 'just know' something, dad. … No, don't even! Do not say you suddenly don't want to talk about it!
"Ugh, you know what? It doesn't even matter! I'm going there no matter what you say! Those people need my help, so I'm going to help them! It's the least I can do…!
"…Dad… c'mon…. I'll be fine, I promise. Okay? I promise.
"If it makes you feel any better, I'll take that pistol you guys gave me last Christmas. I don't think I'm ever gonna have to use it, but… I'll take it.
"Okay…. Okay…. Alright, I promise, I promise. … Yeah. I'll call you when I reach the Silent Hill limits, alright? … Okay -- I love you, dad. … Talk to you later.
"…Bye."
