A/N: I've been having this idea for almost a year now, people, thinking about it over and over in my dreams every single night for at least a few hours. Don't know why, but it's been bugging me ever since I've watched this GREAT movie called "Silent Hill..."

So this story's based off of that. (Note that it's the movie, NOT THE GAMES.)

Oh yeah, and keep in mind that this Fic is after PP, although I don't really think that it's important whether or not it is... Yet.

I've rewritten this at least 5 times, making different versions of everything, messing around with the names and all. Originally, this story was actually supposed to start off like it will now, but I've thought it over a few (well, more than a few, actually...) times and thought that it would be better if Team Phantom started off on a school field trip and wandered off from the group when the bus broke down... I mean, it makes more sense than this. But then I decided that I was too remarkably lazy to change anything, so I'll get to that when I feel like it.

In the meantime...

Chapter One - Arrival

"…So tell me again why we're all going to this Silvertia place," inquired Danny, in his ghost form, looking questionably at Sam. He was leaning behind her seat in the Specter Speeder, bored half to death with Tucker, who was driving, always getting lost to the way to "Silvertia."

"'Cause," Sam started, "It's a great chance to meet some of your own kind that's not in the Ghost Zone!"

Danny's expression did not change.

"Besides, we didn't lie to our parents about going on a camping trip for nothing," she added.

"You know, she has a point," Tucker buzzed in, smiling.

"Just keep your mouth shut and your eyes on the road, Tucker," Danny groaned, now swaying his spectral tail repeatedly.

Tucker made a face, but endured on his driving.

"Oh, come on, Danny! Silvertia's the best ghost town in the world!" Sam said again, actually in a pleasant tone.

"Is that supposed to be a good thing?"

Sam sighed.

"Danny, stop being so down. It would be a great experience for us, seeing all the cracked walls, and decaying buildings, and blood… blood splattered everywhere! And maybe we could even find out why Silvertia became a ghost town in the first place."

"I guess…" Danny said, no hint of emotion whatsoever in his voice. "Well then when are we going to get there? I mean, it shouldn't take that long to—"

"We're here!" Tucker suddenly exclaimed, bringing the Specter Speeder to an immediate halt and sending Danny, as weightless as he is in ghost form, ramming against the front window.

"Ow!" he yelled, rubbing his head.

"You know, next time you want to go out of the Speeder, you might want to take the door," Tucker joked, chuckling.

"Ugh… Very funny, Tuck." Danny shot a glance.

"Stop fooling around, guys! C'mon!"

The girl ran off to explore the city.

The two boys looked at each other once more before exiting the Speeder to witness Silvertia for the first time. But what they saw did not amaze them at all…

Fog. Everywhere. Tons and tons of billowing haze surrounding them, covering up everything in view.

"Sam?" Danny called out into the fog, his emerald green eyes looking for the Goth. All the haze was so thick, they could be easily separated.

"Danny?" came a reply, "Where are you?"

"I'm by the Speeder! Where are you?"

"I'm by a wall!"

"What?"

"I'm by a wall!"

"Where's the wall?"

"How should I know?"

Danny sighed.

I'd better go look for Sam now, he thought. He turned to face Tucker.

"Tucker, I'm going to—"

"Ok, I'll stay here with the Specter Speeder. Just go find Sam and come back before something wanders back here!" Tucker replied before Danny could finish.

With that, the ghost boy sped off in search of Sam.

However, even with his glowing, bright eyes they failed to detect any sign of the girl, and the fog seemed to dense even more.

"Sam?" he called out once more. Any louder and he would probably unleash a Ghostly Wail…

That's it! He thought, my Ghostly Wail! She could probably hear me if I did that…

Danny ceased his flying and landed his feet onto the cracked road. He took a deep breath and waited for all the energy to get into his lungs. And then he unleashed his most fearsome power, but only for a few seconds.

The Wail roared and echoed, sending massive amounts of sound and waves into the air. When it stopped, Danny took a few moments to catch his balance and restore his energy. Then he waited for Sam.

Soon after, he heard footsteps coming from the North. And he saw a figure running towards him.

"Danny!" yelled Sam.

"Sam!" yelled Danny.

Sam sped up her pace, while Danny flew as quickly as a bullet over to the Goth girl.

"Why'd you wander off so quickly?" asked Danny.

"I… I don't know," Sam admitted. "I think I just got carried away, I guess…"

"Well, c'mon, we have to go back to Tuck; he's probably scared to death with his fear of snakes coming to get him," Danny chuckled.

"You left him alone?" Sam suddenly spat, surprising the boy.

"Um… yeah, why?"

"Danny… Ugh, just go back, fast!"

As commanded, Danny speedily grabbed Sam and flew back to where the Speeder was supposed to be.

But it wasn't there. And neither was Tucker.

The two looked around them, awaiting for Tucker to spring out of nowhere and surprise them, saying it was all a joke, but none came to them.

"…And that's why you shouldn't leave him alone!" Sam said again.

"Um… sorry?" Danny apologized.

The Goth sighed.

"Let's just go look for Tucker then,"

Sam started walking towards the fog again, making sure that she would go only straight ahead so that she wouldn't get lost. Danny agreed promptly with her and started following close behind.

-----

However, in the hidden protection of her silent corridor, someone was watching carefully at the two teens.

She spoke at a whisper, her hoarse voice barely audible and dry.

Her eyes were drenched a horrifyingly red color, and her pupils, black as the night.

Silently she raised her right arm to point in a direction.

"Send them out,"

And the Shadows did what they were told.

A/N: Worst. Chapter. Ever. (Yeah hard to say since it's the first chapter, though...) It'll probably get better as I go along, hopefully...

Constructive critism and comments are greatly appreciated! Tell me anything you like, dislike, or just plain HATE. Also, include any mistakes you've seen so far!

Next chapter will be up ASAP! (Although I'm usually busy, so...)
