Chapter 1: Fiery Nightmares

She was walking down a darkened hallway the acrid smell of burning wood and flesh making her nauseous. She wasn't sure what was going on but she knew something was on fire because the hallway was full of smoke. It made her cough but she had to find out what was on fire. She came to the only door in the hallway and reached out grabbing ahold of the doorknob instantly she felt a searing pain in her palm and cried out. She jerked her hand back and looked at her palm the symbol on the door had been burned into her flesh. it was three rings of fire intertwined with a sun cross in the center. She took off the jacket she had been wearing and wrapped it around her unburned hand and opened the door. She screamed at the sight a young girl was strapped to some sort of metal contraption and her entire body had been blackened by fire. The next thing she knew she was tackled to the ground by people in robes. She tried to get up but the flames washed over her...

She shot up in bed screaming bloody murder. She ran her hands over her face making sure the skin was still there. Her neighbors were beating the wall behind her yelling at her to shut up. She calmed down when she realised she was still in her apartment. She threw off her covers and swung her legs over the side of the bed the coldness of the floor snapping her completely back to reality. She held her hand to her forhead and sighed "That dream again". She had been having it for the past month. She flinched at the sharp pain in her left hand and looked at the scar on her palm it was the same as the dream. "What could it mean" She asked herself softly closing her hand into a fist. She shook her head and looked at her alarm clock the LCD screen read 5:49 am. "I woke up a minute early..well at least its better than fifteen minutes early" She said and hit the button to shut it off before its started the shrill buzzing that signaled her to wake up.

She stood up and stretched she had to get ready for work so she turned down her thermostat and made her way to the bathroom. She sat on the edge of the bathtub and turned on the shower. She took off her nightgown and stood in front of the mirror she hadn't gotten much sleep since she had started having the dreams and it showed on her face. She could feel something pulling her but she didn't know what it was. "What's going on" She asked her reflection hoping for some sort of answer. The mirror remained silent and she sighed deeply turning. She tested the shower water and stepped into it the warm water almost therapeutic against her skin.

She left the apartment thirty minutes later fully dressed and walked to parking garage. Her car was a Black and gold 1965 Ford Mustang that her foster father had rebuilt for her last year. It was her pride and joy and she took excellent care of it. She revved the engine a couple times to make sure it was running smoothly and pulled out of the parking garage. She turned down 81st and sighed it was cloudy and slightly humid which meant rain. It was going to be a depressing morning and her boss would probably be her usual bitchy self.

She walked into her work and got a pleading look from her assistant Amanda. "Let me guess Miss Hamilton needs to see mee right" She asked. "Yeah...and Jessica...be careful she is inclined to throw things today" Amanda told her. "WHERE IS SHE JESSICA GET IN HERE" The shrill voice of her boss. "Good luck" Amanda said sheepishly. Jessica took a deep breath and opened the office door jumping out of the way of the small flower vase headed towards her. "Is this a bad time Mrs. Hamilton" She asked looking at the fragments of several items it looked like Miss Hamilton's latest boyfriend had dumped her. "Sit down Jessica" Miss Hamilton said indicating a chair which had once been occupied by a large stuffed bear. Currently said bear had been destuffed and the remnants were scattered around the legs of the chair. "What did you want to see me about" Jessica asked nervously. "This" Miss Hamilton shoved a magazine in front of her face. "What is it" Jessica took the magazine. "This is a Times from last month it has that same article you presented to me in it" Miss Hamilton said angrilly "How do you explain this".

Jessica stared at the article then it dawned on her. It must have been Jack she had stupidly left her laptop on and he must have taken the article. "Ma'am that article was stolen from my personal computer" She said "It was my fault I take responsibility". "YOU'RE DAMNED RIGHT YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY" Miss Hamilton all but screamed "I'll need a replacement story by the end of the week". "Of course Miss Hamilton" Jessica said taken aback by the shouting "I'll get right on it". She stood up quickly and swayed for a moment suddenly dizzy. Miss Hamilton noticed this too and asked "Are you feeling alright". "I..I'm fine..just a little..." Jessica never got to finish her statement because she blacked out.

She was falling down a large black abyss with no idea how she got there. "Whats going on" She gasped looking around. "H-help me" She heard a voice whispering around. "Who's there" She asked still looking around. She felt her feet hit the ground but she was still in darkness. "Can you help me" She heard the voice again. "Who are you" She asked. "Please it burns" The voice was wailing this time. "I don't know where you are" She said anxiously. "It burns please help me" The voice had become a piercing scream and the area arouind her blazed into fire and there was the little girl from her dream but she was writhing in pain and struggling against her bonds. Jessica rushed forward to help her but was blocked by the fire. "Please help me" The little girl begged "Please". Jessica had no choice she rushed through the fire but didn't feel anything. She reached for the chains that held the girl in place but her hand passed through them. "IT BURNS" The little girl screamed again then started to flake away as if being blown away by the wind. She felt it all swirl around her and the screaming never stopped. She threw her hands over her hears and fell to her knees screaming too...

She shot up screaming for the second time that morning knocking Miss Hamilton backwards. "Jessica" Miss Hamilton grasped Jessica's shoulder and shook her gently "Calm down its okay". "Miss Hamilton why...why am I on the floor" She asked shaking her head. "You got really pale and collapsed" Miss Hamilton answered her. Amanda rushed into the room followed by a young man in a suit. "I found a doctor" She gasped out of breath. "I told you to call an ambulance not rush around to find a doctor" Miss Hamilton sighed "But here she is Doctor...um". "Putnam" He said "Dr. Travis Putnam". He knelt down beside her and laid a hand on her forehead. "I'm fine Doctor" Jessica said pushing his hand away "I just got dizzy and fainted" She said "Don't worry about me". She stood up and brushed herself off. "See I'm fine" She said smiling "But thanks for the concern". She held her hand out for him to shake it and he stood. She noticed him stiffen when he saw the scar on her palm and looked up at him his face had gone white as a sheet and she could see the fear in his eyes. "I-I'm afraid I have to leave" He stammered stepping away from her "I'm late for an apointment". An awkward silence passed as he rushed out of the office and Miss Hamilton was the first to break it. "Let's get back to work ladies" She went behind her desk "I think I have a good assignment for you Jessica". She pulled a small artice that looked several years old. "Next week we're going to run a series of articles about haunted places and such that have been turned into resorts" She explained "This is the first place you'll examine its called Silent Hill, this article came out three years after the town was rebuilt. She handed it to Jessica who read over it...

Article: RECONSTRUCTION OF LOST HISTORY

Three years since the tragic fire that has torn through the town we have picked up the pieces of our former lives and rebuilt the once bustling town of Silent Hill. We have lost many of our residents both during the reconstruction and the fire that preceded it and we miss them all very dearly but despite what we lost we must go on god will guide us to the future. We must stop the heretics who are trying to undermine the values of this city and those trying to destroy us...

The story just continued on about god and staying faithful in times of tragedy. "This doesn't seem very resort like to me" Jessica said slipping the article into her bag "It seems more like a church". "Actually up until 7 years ago it was run by a church but they've stepped away from that and turned it into a resort" Miss Hamilton explained "But what caught my interest was this article written to have the town destroyed". "Why would someone want to town destroyed" Jessica asked. "Well the woman who wrote just said that it was dangerous for the people living there and any tourists that happened to come through her claims was that the town is haunted" Miss Hamilton answered "I've contacted her about it and she agreed for a meeting tomorrow so I'll need you to pick her up and bring her to the office from the airport she arrives at 7:30 in the morning". Jessica nodded and left the office but Miss Hamilton called after her "Take the rest of the day off to decide what you'll need for the trip".

She walked into the parking garage where all the employees kept their cars and looked around. It was unusually dark but she assumed that it was just faulty lighting so she started the walk to her car. She stopped hearing her cell phone ring and answered it. "Hello" She said into it. "Stay away" A voice rasped through the phone "Don't come here". "Who is this" She asked a little afraid. She heard something hang up and looked at the caller ID but it didn't even show that someone had called her but she couldn't have been imagining it. She heard something behind her and turned around but there wasn't anyone there. She backed away a few steps whirled around running for her car. She fumbled for her keys trying to locate the one that would unlock the door when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She whirled around screaming loudly and came face to face with Doctor Putnam. "Its okay" He said taking a step back holding his hands up "I just wanted to ask you something". "You startled me" She said breathing a sigh of relief. She looked past his shoulder for any sign of what she had been running from and he turned to look. "What is it" He asked. "Its nothing" She said "Now what did you want to ask me". "About the mark on your hand" He said "Do you know how you got it". "You mean my scar I've had it for as long as I can remember, why?" She said. "Its nothing" He said quickly and walked away. She shrugged and got into her car more than a little creeped out.

Once back in the comfort of her apartment she had no idea what she was going to need. "I'll probably only be there for about a week so enough clothes to last that long" She said she had a notebook in front of her and was writing down everything she would need for the trip "My laptop and camera, some cash but thats a given". She shrugged and decided to do a little research for the article. She made some coffee while her computer booted up and started the search. "Alright the article Miss Hamilton told me about

Article

Silent Hill a town with a mysterious past most people know of it as a popular tourist town frequented by paranormal experts and occultists and some people who come just to see the lake and surrounding natural areas but to me its a nexus of evil. It started with a church or the more appropriate wording would be cult. The cult itself was just a group of people who were part of the town's church but they took their belief too far. Though local authorities have denied this (mostly because there is a lack of evidence to support it) the fire was the fault of the cult who attempted to murder an innocent young girl. Her name was Alessa Gillespie and though her body was never recovered I know without a doubt she was murdered but explain to why I need to explain where the fire started.

Room 208 of the town's only hotel at that time was the starting location of the fire the only reason that is known is because of the number of bodies that were found in the room. It is believed they became trapped when the fire started and were unable to call the fire department so the blaze could be extinguished. The authorities claim it was a candle because the room was often used for ceremonies by the church so it had no electricity in the room at all. Though according one witness Dahlia Gillespie the mother of Alessa the fire was started when the group strapped young Alessa who was seven at the time to a device and hoisted her over a large fire. In an act of divine retribution two of the chains holding the device in place came loose and it swung free scattering the fire throughout the room which instantly sprung up in a raging inferno. The fire spread quickly through the town because one of the groups members while trying to escape opened the door allowing oxygen on the fire and it swept through the rest of the hotel. Though the only ones harmed were the members of the cult and Alessa.

Since the rebuilding of the town there have been fifty people who've vanished without a trace 31 of them were descendents of the members of the cult the only reason I do not list them is because the local authorities have asked me not to but after the disappearances of the 50 people it stopped until a year after the town became a resort. The first people to disappear were Harry and Cheryl Mason who traveled to the town for a late vacation as well as a police officer from Brahms, two years afterward a young man named James Sunderland his reasons for going to Silent Hill are unknown. All of these people are believed dead but their bodies haven't been found as of yet but in my research I stumbled across a picture of Cheryl Mason but she looks exactly like Alessa which makes me wonder more about her disappearance.

Now I must explain myself I only know what Alessa looks like because I went to school with her before she died but I wrote this article to call for the destruction of the town. Its too dangerous for anyone who enters as well as those who live there already. The spirits of the ones who've died still remain within the town and seek to devour the souls of those still alive please do not allow the town to remain or people will still continue to be sucked into its cyclone of destruction and death until none are left.

She read through it several times until it all absorbed in. "Damn" She breathed "This chick sounds like a wack-job". She printed out the article so that she could have it for future refrence and shut down the computer and stood stretching. "I guess I'll call up some friends and go out for lunch" She said picking up the phone.

Okay now that you're done please Review if I get enough feedback I'll write more and I love constructive criticism so have at it.
