Author's Note:

Well, here's the third chapter. I'm a little sad that no one has reviewed my story yet, but I guess not a lot of people have seen it yet. Especially since no one probably checks it anymore after the other person stopped writing the story. But I will finish it, no matter if ten people see it or ten thousand. :P Once again, sorry it's short. I prefer short, detailed, but suspenseful chapters. :D

Chapter 3

Oh my God, no! Candace's eyes were filled with terror. The car above her was held by the tree branch above her, so she stood up and carefully crawled out from under it. Her red shirt was now full of mud and dirt, but she wasn't bothered by it.

"Phineas!" She screamed as she tried to open the back door. The backseat looked messed up from the fall, with water bottles and chip bags everywhere. However, Phineas nor Ferb was present in the back.

"Mom?" She quivered while she tried to open the front door. It was locked shut, no matter how hard she pulled on the handle.

Are they hurt? What if they're... Candace tried her hardest not to think the worst scenario.

How was the car empty though? Her family wouldn't have left without her. What happened while she was alseep?

The sirens came back, keeping her from thinking any harder. She groaned as inhuman sounds filled her ears with despair and disgust.

"No!"

"Mommy?"

"Daddy!"

"Time..."

"Wake up..."

"Can't."

"Sleepy..."

"Paradise."

"Phineas!"

"It's your fault!"

Those words repeated in her head numerous times, almost to the point of where she fell to her knees and cried.

"Make it stop!" Candace screamed. "Stop!"

Finally, the sounds subsided, leaving Candace distraught. She breathed heavily as she tried to calm herself down.

This just keeps getting creepier by the minute. Candace tried to laugh, but her muscles said otherwise, nor was she in the mood for laughing.

She slowly stood up. Her legs felt like jelly, but she started walking anyways. She didn't know where she was going, but felt as if something in the forest was calling for her. Longing for her. Candace slowly stepped near the trees and leaned on them. The old and bare trees did not look welcoming, but she started through them anyway.

Some pine trees actually had leaves, while others were thorny as a rose. There was no calm feeling under the trees, but more of a prickly, nagging sensation. It always felt as if something was going to reveal itself out of nowhere and kill Candace, yet she kept walking anyways. The leaves were dry and brittle, not full of dew. The dirt below her felt hard and coarse, along with the bark on the trees.

She came upon an old sign once she made it out of the forest.

SILENT HILL

HALF A MILE

Candace shivered when she saw the sign. And she knew that something terrible was about to take place. Her sanity was always put to question, but she never imagined it would come to this. She didn't know whether or not she was dreaming, or if it was a nightmare, or even if she was awake. The darkness was about to swallow her up, and she knew she would have to fight it.

The name seemed so familiar, but at the same time, foreign. It was as if she had seen the place before.

"Silent... Hill?" Candace furrowed her brows. Then it came to her. This was the place where her dream took place. The haunting hour had just begun.

She took her first step towards Silent Hill.
