Alyssa drove on. For some reason, it got dark rather quickly. This worried her, and wondered if her father was wondering where she was. But she drove on.

MIle of road, after mile of road, she finally came upon a locked chained fence.

"Figures." Alyssa grunted.

But suddenly, the gates slowly opened.

"Uh-huh..." she wrinkled her nose and drove on.

She turned on the radio, trying to find something to listen to. But all she got was...static.

"Forget it." She jabbed the button.

As soon as she was getting annoyed with the road going on and on, she saw street lamps.

And then she saw this huge sign that read, "Welcome to Silent Hill."

Silent Hill? She pulled around into a small parking lot by a lake. She kept feeling flakes of something on her head.

"Is this snow or do I have bad dandruff?" She giggled, but her smiled quickly faded.

She rubbed a flake between two fingers.

"Ash," she whispered.

Her mind quickly shifted to her dream.

Sister.

The buildings were burning.

Where's the fire? And most ultimately, wheres "sister?"

Alyssa walked along a small sidewalk, leading to what seemed to be a bathroom.

She walked in, seeing it was all rusty and dirty, but continued to the sink. She ran the water, extremely cold. She splashed water on her face and wiped her hands on her jeans, due to the lack of paper towels.

She walked back outside, going back to her car.

But she was something in the distance.

"What the h--?"

A human-like figure stepped toward her, but the problem was...

the figure had no arms.

Alyssa started to panic, but quickly remembered she carried a shotgun in her trunk. She ran back to her car and pulled out a fully loaded double-barrel shotgun and 5 boxes of ammo.

"Die, you---" She shot it. It seemed to scream in agony. "thing." She stared as the "armless figure" slumped to the ground and was soon surrounded by a pool of red liquid.

Alyssa kicked it, making sure it was dead.

"Weird." She walked around it and continued to the lake.

She passed a well. It seemed that when she passed it, it called her name in a raspy, whispering voice.

"Alyssa..." It called to her. She walked slowly to the well and looked inside.

Another monster? she thought. She raised her gun as she approached the stone well and looked inside, finger tensing on the trigger.

At the bottom of the shallow well there was...

A notebook.

"What's this?" She picked up the tattered pages and looked inside. She tried to make out the messy hand-writing, and was somewhat successful.

It read:

"July 19.

Started looking for Mary. I got the letter from her and" Illegible. "And so I am in Silent Hill now, where she toldme to meet her at our special--" The rest of the page was ripped.

"Special what?" Alyssa wrinkled her nose. She hated when her questions went unanswered.

She looked in the front cover of the book. James Sunderland.

"Hmph." She continued on the dirt path that led to the lake.

"Mary and James. I'll look for them first."

The sky suddenly turned dark. Too dark to see anything.

Alyssa fumbled for her pocket flashlight. She shone it on the path, seeing now she was walking on a metal grate path.

"What the h--?" She heard a low growl and turned around slowly, and behind her, were three armless figures trailing behind her.

She ran, not bothering to shoot them, and she came upon a derelict building.

"Blue Creek Apartments" read a sign.

Alyssa ran to the door and went inside. She ran up a spiral stair case and slowly walked down a hall, noticing no monsters were here. She checked a couple of apartments to find nothing. But when she reached the room at the end of the hall, what she saw was horrifying.
