Chapter 2

Home Sweet Home

Disclaimer: This story is not owned by me...it would be awesome if it was though.

"So how much time before we get to Silent Hill?" Alex said bored out of his mind.

"Long enough for us to carry on a conversation." Travis said not even looking at Alex.

"Oh…I'm Alex, Alex Shepherd." Alex said trying to spark a conversation.

"I know that, you told it to me when I picked you up. I have a question though, the town I am driving you to, Shepherd's Glen, is it just a coincidence that the town's name is the same as your last name?" Travis asked.

"I've thought the same thing before but I'm sure that, that fact will never be relevant." Alex said with confidence.

"Oh I see, must just be me then." Travis said as his seat belt broke. He just shrugged and kept on.

"You weren't kidding about things breaking." Alex said.

"Did it look like I was?" Travis said.

"So what is it you do?" Alex asked.

"I am the governor Wisconsin." Travis said.

"Whoa really!?" Alex said in shock.

"No dumb-ass I am a truck driver!" Travis said sounding very annoyed.

"So any interesting stories from the road?" Alex asked.

"I do have one story, but the powers that be won't let me tell it." Travis said annoyed again.

"Was it a funny or scary story?" Alex said.

"It would have been my only story, but I've been downgraded to only a cameo driving some stupid asshole to his adventure." Travis said his eyes starting to water up.

"That bastard! Why would someone be so mean?" Alex said patting him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about it we are almost there." Travis said.

"Oh thank god! I was starting to wonder if I would ever get there." Alex said, completely forgetting Travis is about to have an emotional breakdown.

"…Asshole." Travis said sniffling. A few minutes later they were in Shepherd's Glen.

"Thanks for the ride, you're cool guy!" Alex said shutting the truck door and walking off.

"Oh, I'm not done with you. Enjoy your homecoming now, because I'll make sure it will be short…then I'll be the main character! Now to find a place to park this damn truck." Travis said as he drove off into the fog.

"It has been so long since I have been home…I still hate this place though." Alex said as he walked down the street.

"Well I don't believe it!" A female voice came through the fog.

"My god the town has developed a voice…WITCHCRAFT!" Alex yelled.

"No Alex it's me…I assume you wouldn't recognize me." A woman who looked to be about twenty five walked out of the mist. She was dressed in a female politicians outfit and had blonde hair.

"Uhhh…Okay, who are you?" Alex asked

"It's me Margaret…Margaret Holloway, the town judge." She said smiling.

"Wait, Elle's mom!?" Alex said shocked.

"Yes, so you do remember." She said excitedly as she hugged Alex.

"Holy shit! She is like fifty! But she is hot as hell!" Alex thought.

"What have you been up to?" Judge Holloway asked.

"Well you know military and stuff." Alex said.

"Oh I see." She said.

"So where is everybody at?" Alex asked.

"You know, it's the damnedest thing, I haven't seen anyone in about a few weeks now." She said.

"Ah. How about my brother, seen him around?" Alex asked.

"No, can't say that I have." She said.

"Damn it!" He yelled stomping the ground.

"Awwww, you really miss him don't you?" She said.

"Uhhhh, yeah that's the reason." Alex said.

"Well, why don't you head on home I bet your mom is DYING to see you." She said.

"Why did you put so much emphasis on dying?" Alex asked.

"No reason." She said walking off towards the courthouse.

"This doesn't look like a one man job." Alex said as he pulled out a cell phone and punched in a number.

"Please answer your phone." Alex said to himself.

Meanwhile a few states over.

"Honey the phone is ringing!" A woman yelled. A man in a green jacket with dirty blonde hair walked over to the phone.

"Who is it?" He asked.

"I don't know! Answer it and find out!" She yelled.

"Fine! Hello?" He said as he picked up the phone.

"James…is that you?" Alex said on the other end.

"Yes…who this be?" James said.

"This is Alex…Mary's cousin." Alex said.

"Oh yeah! I remember! What is it you need?" James asked.

"Well do remember when I helped you cover for my cousins' death?" Alex asked.

"Yeah…you want me to help you kill someone don't you?" James asked.

"Yeah, could you come to Shepherd's Glen?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, I guess I could." James said.

"Cool hurry if you could." Alex said hanging up.

"Honey! I'm going to go to Shepherd's Glen to assist in first degree murder. Don't wait up!" James said as he walked out the door.

Back over in Shepherd's Glen.

Alex had finally wandered to his house and walked in the door. His house looked the same, except it smelled like old lady and death.

"Damn it stinks in here. Is anyone here?" Alex shouted; no answer.

"Well, I guess I will wander around for awhile." Alex said as he walked upstairs into his old room.

"Well this is where I had to bunk up with that ugly little troll for all those years." Alex said as he had a flashback.

"Alex…Alex…ALEX!" Josh yelled from the bottom bunk.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT I'M TRYING TO SLEEP UP HERE!" Alex yelled.

"Hey shut the hell up in there!" Their father yelled from the other room.

"I'm scared of the dark." Josh whimpered.

"Take this and shut the hell up." Alex said as he threw a flashlight and hit Josh in the face, breaking his nose and knocking him out.

"Good times, good times." Alex said in the present. He looked on the bed and saw a flashlight.

"Hey now this could come in handy…I just wish there was some form of laser pistol here. I don't even know why I would think something like that?" Alex said to himself as a noise was made downstairs.

"Time to rock." He said hoping he could kill something. When he got downstairs he saw his mother sitting in a rocking chair, she had a quilt over her lap and had grey hair.

"Mom? Is that you?" Alex asked.

"Yes honey, why are you home?" She asked.

"I came to kill…er…find Josh I had a bad feeling. Yeah bad feeling that's it." Alex said.

"Oh…I haven't seen him." She said in a trance like voice.

"Well where is dad?" Alex asked.

"Gone." She said.

"You mean dead? PRAISE GOD!" Alex had a small celebration in his mind.

"No…he just isn't here." She said.

"Damn it…I knew it was too good to be true." Alex pouted.

"Alex." She said.

"Yeah…oh my god." Alex said looking down and seeing a revolver in her lap.

"So you decided to wait in this chair until I came home so you could kill me yourself? It almost worked, but you were too sloppy!" Alex said pulling out his knife. A bump was made downstairs and the basement door opened.

"Oh…that is what you were talking about. I'll just take this revolver and take care of…whatever the hell that noise was." Alex said as he took the revolver and walked off to the basement to face the unknown.

END OF CHAPTER

So as it turns out I have to log 32 hours of observation at a high school for an assignment which is why I haven't updated in awhile. I'm almost done so updates will be coming more frequent after that I hope. I will probably update Stupid Network next but it all depends on which I get ideas for the soonest. The Mega Man X parody is going to happen just as soon as I get a little farther into this story. But hopefully some more updates will be coming soon!
