The night was cold and a thin rain started to fall when they reached the main road. Rachel pulled the hood of her black coat. The road was deadly empty, quiet and dark. Ann reached a lantern and they started to walk, hoping to find somebody or something.
After some time walking, they made a curve and faced a little girl with brown hair that was stuck in a ponytail. Her skin was very pale and her eyes were light blue. She wore a royal blue suit with a red tie. Ann stopped at once.
- Alessa!
- Who? Rachel saw her Oh no
- Rachel, this is the path to Silent Hill!
- Ann, no, we can't! You know what's going to happen! You know what we're going to pass! It's too dangerous!
- I do. And I also know that's the only way.
Rachel didn't answer. She knew that the other side of the road was heavily blocked. Besides being on the walkthrough, they once had checked that. She sighed and held Ann's free hand.
- You're right. Let's go.
Ann smiled at her and they started to follow Alessa, quiet. The road, even with all the darkness on its edges, was ghostly lighted. Ann tied up the lantern on her chest and caught the extinguisher in her bag.
- The fog is already here. The house isn't far - commented Rachel, tiding up her lantern to her chest too.
- Is just catch the girl and get out?
- Technically yes. But it would be interesting search the place for provisions.
- Sure. I get the bitch and you do the search.
- Done.
They soon arrived at the house, that was already in high flames. Ann extinguished the fire at the entrance and they ran into the hall.
- Ann, be careful with the fire. There's no guarantee that here you won't get burned. remembered Rachel, seriously, putting her leather gloves that she loved so much.
- You too and stay with this Ann gave her the extinguisher and ran to the next floor.
Rachel went to the kitchen and got some cans of food, bottles of water and everything that wasn't burned and didn't need to be prepared at all. After, she went to the diner room, grabbing some things that could be used as weapons and like this she searcher all the house, getting even a really old book that talked about demons and evil creatures. Then she ran back to the hall and extinguished once again the fire at the entrance, leaving the house.
Ann tried all the doors at the second floor, grabbing everything that could be useful until she finds the unlock door that leaded to a kind of library. She entered and saw the carbonized body, putting her own pair of leather gloves and closing her black coat.
- Let me burn - a softy and ghostly female voice whispered.
- I wish I could. rumbled Ann, catching the body and running back to the hall, exiting the house as fast as she could without burning herself.
Rachel was waiting her sat on a rock at the front garden, covering her mouth and nose with one hand. Ann also found very hard to breathe that smoke and the body on her arms wasn't exactly helpful. Rachel stood up.
- Poor girl - she whispered, spying her at Ann's arms.
- There! That crazy slut! pointed Ann with her head. Rachel turned and saw the woman leaving.
- In need, Dahlia Gillespie is a crazy slut. Leave Alessa on the floor, Ann. We'll pass out soon. said Rachel, looking to her stopped clock.
Ann obeyed and held Rachel's hand, allowing the darkness to grab her.
