Authors note: For those of you who have never played silent hill this fic seem a bit confusing. Also don't flame on the bad spelling on some of the diary and notes that are italicized. I wanted to keep that authentic SH feeling.

Chapter 1: Drops of Silence

It had been two days since the girl had shown up on their doorstep, begging to be let in. It was Mokuba who insisted. Seto wouldn't have it. They let her in.

It was yesterday when Mokuba found her diary. He knew he shouldn't look, but something inside, something inhuman told him to look. Inhuman? Mokuba didn't know why he had described it as inhuman but he did. He read it the first page, which had three entries on it. They read:

Ahgust 3 age7- mommy told me to write in my book. She said it wood bee good to monatur my spelling and how good im getting at riting. I dint under stand her, but I will becus she told me too. She also told me to write my age. When I asked her why she simply hit my head and told me not to ask so many questeons.

Ahgust 10 age7-today I had to reed from mommys book. She told me that it was important to learn my birth religeon. She told me that I was important and that I needed to learn about it. She also told me it would help my power. But I dont have a power.

Octover20 age 7-mommys mad at me for not writing but i was scared to rite. She reads my book and tells me things to rite. I think I will hide from her.

Mokuba had read the last one over a few times. Who would be afraid to write just because of their own parent? Whatever the reason, it was rather enticing to continue reading. He hid the book

from her when she requested it be found.

Seto was the least bit amused by her. She was way too quite. Her expressionless face had some sort of guilty plea written on it, but it was almost unreadable. She was entirely unfathomable. What was worse was that she flinched whenever someone raised his or her hand. She apologized every time too.

Mokuba thought rather differently. He found her to be simply shy, and the flinching may just be some reflex caused by an older sibling. She was in some of his classes too, but he never noticed her until now.

"Seto!" Mokuba called as he barged into his brother's home office. He was panting madly, his forehead glistening. " I found out what her name was."

The familiar clicking came to a halt. Kaiba's eyes transitioned from his monitor to his little brother. He sat back in his chair, feeling a bit happier today. " Shoot," was all he said.

" It's Alessa." His gray eyes shone with accomplishment.

"Alessa," Kaiba repeated. His eyes moved to his screen again. He sat forward and began to type again. He could see his brother fro the top of his screen. He watched as he turned around, yelped, and then fell from his view. He stopped typing and looked past his screen. Alessa was standing in the doorway, her hands behind her back in a mysterious sort of way. She was smiling for the first time in front of him.

"ALESSA!" Mokuba yelled. He rubbed his bottom a few times and stood up. He looked her straight in the eyes, the annoyance trying to fight her happy moment.

"Mail," She squeaked, thrusting her arms forward towards him. Several small white envelopes were stacked neatly in her hands. She waved them up and down at him, smiling harder.

"Mail my…" Mokuba glanced at his brother, "butt. You just wanted to scare me!" He yanked the mail from her hands.

"Well that too, but I was trying to be helpful!" She gazed at him, her brown eyes shimmering alongside her smile.

"Ahem," Roland addressed himself, trying to quite the two pre-teens in front of him. Immediately he was given the attention he wanted.

"Yes?" Kaiba's monotone voice rang from behind the screen in front of him. The familiar clicking sound stopped.

"The Mckaza Company CEO, Mr. Yamaoka, is at the front door." Roland replied, his body rigid, his brow sweating.

"At the front door?"" Mokuba exclaimed. He stepped aside as his brother glided past him. He looked at Alessa with worry.

"I'm sure it'll be okay," She told him, her eyes comforting him inside.
