Sixteen years later...
Xander wondered down a street of fog. He tried to stop himself, but couldn't. He found himself standing in front of a sign. 'Welcome to Silent Hill.'
He awoke to the sound of his mother calling his name. He jumped out of bed and headed down stairs. There was a brightly wrapped box sitting on the kitchen counter.
"Happy birthday honey," Alex smiled.
Xander unwrapped the box and pulled out a vintage looking combat knife.
"Wow!" he exclaimed. "This is amazing. Where did you get this?"
"It was my grandfathers, Adam. It was pretty handy when I was your age."
He looked over the knife.
"Whats wrong?"
"I wish dad was here. What happened to him? Why isn't he here? Where is her?"
Alex felt as if she was going to cry. She couldn't tell him the truth. "He died a long time ago. Before you were born. Before I could even tell him we were going to have you."
"What happened to him? How did he die?"
"He was in the army," she lied, "He died at war."
"And you found out you were going to have me after he was gone."
"I'll never forget your father. He was a great man."
"How come you never remarried?"
"Your dad and I were never married in the first place."
"How come?"
She hesitated. "We were going through a rough time."
The day passed on and Alex spent it with her son. Life couldn't be more perfect then it was now.
Xander wondered down a street of fog. He could hear gun shots and voices all around him.
"Open fire!"
"We're running out of amo, Viper! We're not going to make it!"
"For Alex!"
"Alex has a two year old son. We think he may be Jags, and was concived here in Silent Hill."
"Kill him, kill Jag."
"I thought you were dead!"
"What is that thing!"
"My name is Alex Shepherd."
"They're guarding something."
Xander found himself in front of a door with a strange symbol on it. He raised his hand to touch it, someone's hand hit it from the other side.
He saw his mom point a gun at who he thinks is his father, Circling him, asking many questions.
"We need to promise to always protect each other."
He watched his dad kiss his mother.
"Promise me that when we get out of here, you'll be with me. Forever."
"I promise."
He saw a ring of fire rise up and a man tore his dads heart out, while trying to protect his mother.
"Kill him, kill Jag."
His dad held a gun to his mothers head. She attacks him, kills another man. Shooting him in the face as she cried.
"Come to us!"
Alex ran into the room to the sound of Xander screaming bloody murder.
"Baby. Baby Whats wrong?"
"The darkness is coming," he panted.
Alex's jaw dropped. "What did you say?"
"The darkness is coming. They're calling to me. They want me back. They want both of us back."
"Who does?" she asked, dreading the answer.
"Silent Hill."
