Angela Orosco was kneeling in front of a large and horrible faded tomb stone, trying to read over the names engraved in stone. It felt like the hundredth one she had looked at, almost all the same. Honestly, she had no idea why she was looking at them. No one she knew was dead. At least she hoped no one she knew was. Earlier this morning she had been drinking coffee and reading a magazine, then out of nowhere she remembered her mother. How it has been a while since she had seen her face before her.

She had tried calling but no one picked up. Even her brother was unavailable suddenly. Angela knew her parents had moved somewhere, and she had a number. But why didn't they answer? After a few times of calling she left it ringing, only to be greeted by the answering machine again. The message stated that her parents were not avalible at the moment, to call again later.

Soon after a recurring nightmare tortured her dreams, about a place called Silent Hill. Bad feeling filled her mind when she thought of that small dark town At least it was always dark in her dreams. Things she had forgotten about her past slowly started to reappear within her mind. But still something made her wonder, why would they be living or staying there? What was so importent in this town...that was calling to her?

The drive there had been hellish. The odd fog that seemed to never let up could be spotted miles before she had even gotten to the town, making it very hard to see. At one point a creature of some type had darted out in front of her car, making her almost crash. She hadn't seen it well, but it was large in size. Her tire had hit something when she swirved making it fla. About a mile from the town and she had, had to walk the rest of the way here.

Still trying to make out the tomb stone writings, she stood up backing away, only to kneel again. Unsure of what she had read. Was it possible that they were... Dead? Angela didn't hear the soft footsteps behind her that came closer, nor the person who made them as she stared at the grave stone.

"Excuse me..." A voice said cautiously, making Angela jump to her feet with a startled scream. She turned quickly to see a man with his arms reached out, not sure if he was upset with her or not for being there. Maybe the grounds keeper?
"Oh, I-I'm sorry! I... I-I was just..."
He quickly interrupted her, "No it's OK. I didn't mean to scare you." He said holding his hands up to her, showing he meant no harm. "I'm kind of lost."

Angela looked at him oddly for a moment, as if he were a little crazy. How was he lost? Did he not know where he had came from to get here, there was only one path to this cemetery. So was he really lost or had he just wanted to be nosey? She was easily suspicious of people.

"Lost?" Angela questioned.
"Yeah. I'm looking for Silent Hill, is this the right way?" He asked pointing out into the fog. Angela glanced over a moment then looked back at him, wonder now why he wanted to go to that town. Then again, so was she.
"Well yeah... It's hard to see with this fog," She paused looking over into it a moment before continuing, "but there's only the one road. You can't miss it."

He smiled some, "Thanks." With that he turned and started to walk away. Unsure if this guy was aware of where he was going, Angela reached her hand out only to quickly retreat it when she spoke, "But..." She started.
He turned back to her, "Yes?"

"I-I think you better stay away. This... Th-This town... There's something wrong with it. It's kinda hard to explain, but..." Angela trailed off a moment not sure how to sum it up in one word.
Looking slightly confused he asked, "Is it dangerous?"

Dangerous. That could work as a good word to describe it for now, if there was another word to describe it. She nodded, "Maybe... And it's not just the fog either. It's-"

Seeming to be in a rush he held a hand up to her to stop, but he smiled kindly. "OK. I got it. I'll be careful." He said starting to walk away again. Truth be told he was not trying to be rude, he really was in a hurry to get there. He had his reasons.

Feeling slightly ignored Angela quickly shouted, "I'm not lying!"
"No, I believe you." He said turning back. "Its just... I guess I really don't care if it's dangerous or not. I'm going to town either way."

She tilted her head a little confused, "But why?"

"I'm looking for... Someone."
"Oh. Who, who, who is it?" Angela stuttered curiously.
Not really noticing she had he continued, "Someone very important to me. I'd do anything If...I could be with her again." He said the last part in a sorrowful tone.

Angela turned her head to the left as she thought of her reasons for that town. "Me too. I'm looking for my mama..." She said quickly turning back, a little embarrassed she said that to a stranger, "I-I mean my mother." She shook her head quickly ignoring a thought she had.

"It's been so long since I've seen her. I thought my father and brother were here, but I can't find them either..." Angela said resting her hand on a tomb stone. He assumed slightly, that she meant they were deceased. Seeing his reaction Angela quickly commented, "I-I'm sorry.. It's really not your problem."
"No, I... I hope you find them." He said as she turned back.
She nodded, "Yeah, you too."

Walking away again she watched him go, knowing that she wanted to be alone for a while. Her arms crossed over each other as she pretended to look at another grave, secretly still watching him from the corner of her eye leave into the fog. She would wait a while until he was ahead of her. Not that she didn't like him, she was just confused, she didn't fell like talking a lot at the moment. Her main goal was to find her mother.

Convinced that she, nor her father or brother were buried here. She knew she could look for them in the town. But the noises she had heard earlier made her worry about what exactly was in the town. Sounds of scraping metal and a little shouting were heard the whole time she was walking to the cemetery. Still, maybe it had been a car or some kind of factory near by. As for the screaming, she didn't know.

"Mama, where are you?" Angela whispered to herself as she slowly started making her way to the other gate. The next place to look would be the apartments and hotel in Silent Hill. She had to find out where they were staying, if they were there at all.
