Here it is folks. The last chapter of the story. I just had to give Elle and Alex the happy ending which the deserved.

I know this chapter is small. But I like to think of it as a short and sweet goodbye.

Disclaimer: I do not own Silent Hill or anything related to it.

The warm rays of the summer sun blazed down through the trees, and onto Elle Holloway. She sat on an old wall waiting patiently with a suitcase. Over a year had passed since she had left Shepherd's Glen for good. She still dreamt about it some nights... the monsters, the blood and the fear. These images raced through her head every time she closed her eyes at first, but slowly at first, the images began to fade. Love, laughter and friendship were erasing them. Birds sang softly all around her. She was at the new cemetery in Brahms; it was the first time she had been in Brahms since she was let out of hospital.

A car pulled up near her. Alex Shepherd got out. They ran towards each other and embraced each other tightly (Some things never changed).

Alex looked at Elle. She was more beautiful than ever, her skin seemed to shimmer healthily. Her blue eyes shone with happiness as well as intensity. Her soft lips were open in a smile, showing her perfect white teeth. And she had gained a little weight; Alex thought that she was so thin before that he was scared he might get impaled on her hip bones when he hugged her.

Elle thought that Alex was hotter than ever as well. His handsome brown eyes had lost their emotional baggage and his lazy eye had been fixed. His tanned skin glowed warmer than ever. His sullen face had disappeared, he was now smiling radiantly. And he still had the muscles you could use to crush fruit.

"Hey Action Man. How's West Coast treating you since we last spoke?" Elle said after she kissed him casually. You wouldn't have thought from the way that they were speaking that they spoke to each other just yesterday.

"Awesome, sure I got assignments to do and stuff, but it's just the best. Parties aren't bad either. How's NYU been recently?" Alex replied.

"It's so different to Shepherd's Glen. I love it; it's so animated and full of life. And yeah the assignments can be evil but the parties are great." Elle said smiling.

They held each other's hand as they made their way through the cemetery. They had maintained a long distance relationship since they both left for University 6 months ago. After being kept apart by monsters, psycho cultists, mental hospitals and a demonic hell world, being the other side of the country was easy. They made it to the graves.

"Nora Holloway... Joshua Shepherd." Elle read the gravestones out loud. She placed flowers on Nora's grave. Alex placed flowers on Josh's grave.

"Stay safe buddy." Alex said compassionately as he took off one of his dog tags, which he never had taken off. He placed it on Josh's grave.

"You made me the happiest big sister ever." Elle said emotionally as she got out her sister's copy of "Alice in Wonderland" and placed it on her grave.

They stayed under the early morning sun for a minute. Thinking back fondly of their siblings, before they said their final goodbyes, but it wasn't really goodbye because Nora was often in Elle's dreams, saying that she wasn't lonely or unhappy, in fact she said she was the opposite. She talked about playing games with Josh, Joey and Scarlett and all her other friends. And how Wheeler sometimes came to see her. Nora also said that her parents were there, she said they were both wanted to say sorry to Elle for all they had done to her, although they didn't expect to be forgiven by her. Nora also said that Alex's parents were sorry for what they did to him. Elle told Alex about these dreams with Nora; he said that he had similar dreams with Josh in them. Together, they were finally able to forgive their parents and move on.

They then walked out of the cemetery together. The sun was shining down on them finally. The only thing they needed was each other.

"Do you have the tickets?" Alex said to Elle as he put her suitcase in the trunk of his car.

"Of course, 2 tickets to Hawaii. Can you believe it! We're can finally start visiting all these places." Elle replied eagerly.

Before Alex could reply, 2 brightly coloured butterflies danced around the air in front of them. Elle and Alex stayed silent as they watched them, before they fluttered away. Elle and Alex followed them with their eyes. The butterflies flew into the sky and disappeared for a moment. When Elle and Alex were about to leave for the airport, they saw an amazing sight. The pair of butterflies had joined hundreds and hundreds of brightly coloured butterflies fluttered past into the horizon.

They stood in awe. Then eventually got into the car and began to drive off. Soul mates, companions and star crossed young lovers. They could finally look forward to a life full of happiness and prosperity. They could look finally look forward to starting a family. They could finally look forward to a life together.

Elle Holloway. Alex Shepherd. Both had lost so much, but all they ever needed, they found.

The end.

So there it is. The end of the story. My first ever Fan Fic. I hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I would love to know your opinion of my first fan fic as a whole.

P.S. I have a one-shot that's been hiding away in my documents library that's dying to come out. It's based in the same reality as this fic, it follows the dark crimes Margaret Holloway and Curtis Ackers, and it's called "The Handyman Always Rings Twice", it should be coming out soon.
