Disclaimer: In no way do I own the Silent Hill series, specifically Silent Hill 3. His includes characters, places, events, or other relative ideas. The only thing I own in this story is my original character.
A/N: Before you say it, yes this is a "sucked-into-the-game" type of story; I just wanted to try my hand at it. I think I'm kind of going through a SH phase because I have loads of ideas that I eventually want to turn into stories. I've also just played SH3 for the third time or so, which gave me the inspiration for this story. I've always wondered if I would survive Silent Hill or not…so, let's just see! Of, course I am using a name other than my own. Anyway, enjoy the story and let me know what you think of it afterwards.
Silent Hill: Eternal Hell
Chapter One: Just A Dream
"Come on, come on…Damn!" I grumbled out loud while playing Silent Hill 3. I was fighting the final boss, the God—or rather, Devil—and the controller in my hands was vibrating fiercely, warning me that Heather's health was dangerously low. Bringing up my inventory, I found my last ampoule and used it. I had no other health items left, so I prayed I was close to defeating the final boss.
Controlling Heather, I moved to where the God had its head bent forward and I used the flamethrower to shoot a jet of flames at its face. The God stood back up and lines of flames circled Heather. I tried dodging the confusing flames but it was too late. Heather's health depleted and—with a single cry of pain—she doubled over to the floor. The mocking words "Game Over" flashed on the screen and I cursed, throwing the controller on a nearby table.
"Damn," I repeated, holding the power button of the PS2 until its light changed from green to red. Yawning widely, I checked my clock to see that it was nearly midnight, switched off the bedroom lights, and tumbled into bed under the covers. The recent hour of gameplay of Silent Hill 3 remained on my brain. Briefly, I imagined myself as Heather, playing through Silent Hill 3. I wondered if I would even be able to survive Silent Hill. Probably not; I'd have died somewhere in the Nightmare Mall. My eyes closed and sleep overtook me.
Little did I know that my wondering would soon turn into a nightmarish reality.
…..
I had to admit, my dream was incredibly weird, even for me. And I often had weird dreams, so it usually took a lot for a dream to make an impression on me. In my dream, I was playing the role of Heather, outfit and all. It was just like the beginning of Silent Hill 3; I was in the Lakeside Amusement Park. Okay, I definitely need to stop playing Silent Hill before bed, I thought as I wandered away from the park's entrance.
It was silent and deserted. Thick fog crept around me, making me feel cold and even more alone. Numerous Robbie the Rabbit mascots lay lifeless and bloody, scattered around the park. Thinking back to the videogame, I knew there would be two options I had to choose from in order to wake up: falling through a dark hole, or being hit by a rollercoaster. Assuming this was just a dream, of course. Well, duh, it's a dream. It's not like I'll die for real like in a Nightmare on Elm Street movie, I argued with myself internally. Just in case, I chose falling through the dark hole.
My boots—or Heather's, really—clicked on the pavement as I made my way to a large, rectangular gap in the ground. Leaning over, I tried to estimate how deep it was, but it was too dark. I came too close to the edge and teetered for a minute.
"Whoa," I cried out, sounding similar to Heather whenever she was on the edge of a hole. Seriously, the video games needed to stop before bed. This was just ridiculous. Well, it's now or never…Closing my eyes, I lifted one foot over the edge and allowed my body to drop into open space. My screams rang in my ears all the way down.
…..
To tell you the truth, that scene with me playing—or losing—Silent Hill 3 actually happened to me a couple days ago. It was like my third time playing the game and I lost to the God because I ran out of health items. )= I was so mad! Thank God I didn't have that dream though; that would have freaked me out! Well, what do you guys think so far?
By the way, I have excellent news! I am on spring break and so you can expect a lot of updating for my stories! That way, maybe I can get some of these ideas out of the back of my head and out of my system. Trust me; they've been spinning back there for a while. (=
