Silent Hill: Beacon Of Hope
Chapter One
Amaris twisted and turned in her single bed, kicking the sheets off.
She was dreaming of a place that was filled with horror and fear.
Silent Hill.
There was a little girl, no older than ten years old, with black eyes and brown hair.
Her name was Alessa.
Flashes of cruetlity, toture and flames appeared all around her.
The town became a ash ridden and barren place with unnatural and terrifying creatures wandering among it.
Though she should've screamed and woke in a sweat, Amaris felt sorry for these people.
Before the dream ended, Alessa came towards her and said: "Please come" over and over again.
Amaris shot up, gasping and holding her pillow in a tight grip, her heart thundering against her chest.
Where the hell did that come from? Why did the little girl want her to go there?
Brushing her hand over her clammy face, her hazel eyes fell on her clock radio. It said half past eight.
"Crap, I'm late for school!" Amaris screamed. She jumped out of bed, opened her door and dashed to the bathroom.
"Silent Hill? Sounds like something out a horror movie." Said her best friend Joanna.
Amaris nodded her head, the painc was written across her hazel eyes.
She had just explained everything about her dream in a matter of minutes.
"But it isn't. It's real and Alessa wants me to go there, what the hell am I supposed to do?" Amaris cried, throwing her hands in the air.
"Hey babes, what's cooking?" Said a male voice behind the pair. They instanly knew who it belonged to.
Darren, Amaris's jock boyfriend. He was such a doofus yet isn't willing to give her up for a another girl.
"Oh not much other than your girlfriend had a weird dream." Joanna explained, looking at him.
"Aw babes, that sucks majorly." He replied, wrapping his beefy arms across her tiny waist.
Amaris rolls her eyes but accepted the embrace until a mad and dangerous idea appears in her mind.
"Wait a minute, how about we go and find Silent Hill?" She suggested, her eyes widen with hope.
"You what? This place may not exist and anyway, I have a massive test later on this afternoon." Joanna cried, shaking her head.
"Oh, stuff school! It's boring anyway. At least we are having a adventure, right?" Amaris replied, standing up.
"We could totally take my truck!" Darren suggested, pointing at it which looked old and rusty but he was darn proud of it.
Amaris and Joanna looked at him like he was mad or something, it always broke down whenever they went out together.
"Fine, we don't take my truck but what can we use then?" Darren said, then narrowed his eyes at Joanna who was looking through her notes.
Amaris noticed him looking at her, like magic she knew what he was thinking. She turned to face her with a grin across her face.
Joanna looked at the pair of them, instanly understanding what they wanted. "Fine, we'll use my car. But we are not going anywhere until I done this test." She said.
"Excellent, let's meet in the car park after school." Amaris decided. The bell rang as the three dashed inside the building ready for a another day of learning.
Joanna puffed out a heavy sigh, the tears pouring down her face was visable enough for anyone to notice.
She had failed her test terribly, her teacher shouted and ranted at her for a good twenty minutes.
A heavy and horrid warning was placed on her shoulders that if she didn't pass it next time, there would be severe trouble.
As for Amaris, she couldn't stop thinking about that haunting dream from last night. The pleading words echoed her mind.
She couldn't study, let alone eat. Seeing Alessa's face filled her thoughts, this little girl needed her help badly.
Heading towards Joanna's car, Amaris noticed her sobbing and ripping up every single shred of her hard work letting it blow against the wind.
"Hey, what's up?" She asked, bending down to her level. The red F was enough for a answer, a pang of hurt entered her heart.
"I can't do anything right, I hate this stupid condition!" Joanna yelled, brushing her fingers over her long brown hair.
Amaris sighed and hugged her friend tightly, watching her cry like this was upsetting but there was nothing she could do.
Ever since she was a child, Joanna had learning diffculties and not one person in the schools she went to felt anything for her.
She was seriously builled but when Amaris came along, they instanly bonded and became very close friends, no sisters really.
"It's okay, you tried your hardest. That teacher is a asswipe, he ain't worth any of your tears." Amaris said, rubbing her friend's shoulders.
Joanna sniffed and wiped away her tears. "Thanks Amaris." She replied with a weak smile. Before anyone could speak, Darren appeared.
"Hey, ready to ride?" He asked, jumping in the car without opening the door. "God, you are such a jerk!" Amaris moaned, getting up.
He shrugged his shoulders like he did nothing. "Don't worry about it, come on then. Let's go and find this Silent Hill." Joanna said, opening the door.
Putting on their seatbelts and turning on the engine, the car drove in a steady speed heading out of town not noticing the heavy clouds blocking the clear sky.
With the radio playing on full blast, Amaris, Joanna and Darren were singing along.
It's been a few hours since they left, heading to find Silent Hill.
"So what really happened in your dream, babe?" Darren asked as the song finished.
Amaris explained everything, not leaving a single detail out.
"This Alessa? Is she hot?" He chuckled.
Joanna gasped in outrage while Amaris hit him hard on the arm.
"How dare you? That is not a question you ask your girlfriend now, is it?" She snapped.
"Aw, but I wouldn't want anyone else other than you babe." He replied, leaning for a kiss but she backed away.
"No way! You have totally chessed me off!" Amaris said, sternly.
"I didn't mean it, honest!" Darren pleaded.
"Whatever!" She huffed, staring out of the window.
"Boy, you girls are boring and so moody!" He moaned, getting out his I-pod and listened to loud rap music.
Joanna shook her head while Amaris drew out her book to study her horrifying drawings she did at lunch time.
Alessa was there, arms out wide, her brown hair covering her face. The image unsettled her so she turned the page.
The next one chilled her bones. It was a tall man with a pyramind shaped head, it strangely pulled her yet she couldn't understand the feeling.
"OH MY GOD!" Joanna screamed that grabbed Amaris and Darren's attention.
There in the middle of the road was a young girl, staring right at them not making a single move.
Joanna tried to slow down but it was too late, the car ran right through her that made her lose control and it overturned all by itself.
They screamed and yelled until after the third turn, everything went silent.
Joanna and Darren instanly blacked out but Amaris was still awake.
She tried to breathe but the pain shot up like a thousand needles all over her body.
Moving her eyes to the front, horror went across her face as Alessa stood.
Before Amaris blacked out, she heard the most chilling words: "You Have Come..."
