Chapter 2- Silent Hill Mental Institution
They were now climbing the Hill to get to the old building. the rocks on
the driveway were wet and slippery and more than once they almost lost
their footing. Finally they got to the gate and just beyond it stood the
mansion.
The gate before them was made of wrought iron the black paint of it was peeling, revealing the silver metal underneath. The iron poles had spikes on top of them that glimmered dangerously every time lightning flashed across the black sky. To the right side of the gate stood an old worn out wooden sign. The metal hook on the one side had rusted off and the sign creaked slightly in the wind.
Andrew walked over to the sign and shinned the flashlight on the peeling words trying to read them. "Silent hill Mental Institution." He said reading it out loud. "Silent Hill huh?" Chris said, "Now that sounds like something out of a horror move, and it's a crazy house too, I bet it haunted!" "Knock it off Chris would u rather stay out here, it's not haunted just abandoned!" "Abandoned for all the right reasons" Chris muttered. "Let's just get inside," Morgan said.
Tress stood staring at the sign and then he turned his gaze to the building, the bad feeling deepening with each passing moment. He was cold though, so maybe a couple moments inside wouldn't be to bad.
Andrew grabbed the large metal latch on the gate and lifted it up. The gate creaked inward very slowly and they all kind of nervously entered. Before any of them could touch the gate it slammed shut with a loud bang and the lock latched back into place.
The wind howled even more as they slowly creped up to the building. It loomed over them and the darkness deepened as they entered its shadows. The driveway circled around in the front of the building and in the middle of it was a patch that had probably once been full of grass and flowers. Now the beam of the flashlight hit yellowed grass and brown dirt. At its center stood a tall and once magnificent statue of a woman with long flowing hair. Vines had creped up it's length over the ages and it was now almost completely covered and the statue was of a gray stone now, not white like before.
The building itself had probably looked grand before but now it looked dark and dreary. The stone walls were crumbling and many gaps showed where the rocks had altogether fallen out. Small windows covered most on the house and old rusted bars were screwed over them. The door was made of metal and stood very tall with two large white pillars covered in vines on either side. Vines covered most of the building and it seemed to stretch on into the darkness of night.
They walked slowly and unsurely up the crumpling brick steps and stood o the front porch, trying to decide what to do. "Well," Chris said, "should we just go in?"
Andrew rolled his eyes giving Tress his flashlight and reached for Katina's hand. He grabbed the gold colored door handle and yanked open the door. The door creaked and groaned as it opened up on hinges that hadn't been used in forever. They all looked curiously inside. Nothing but darkness lay before them. "There's no way im gonna go in there" Sarah said backing away "that" "Come on u wanna stay out here?" Morgan said.
They slowly entered within the building. A strong smell of musk and medicine filled the place and almost made them sick. They silence was deafening, not a sound could be heard from within the entire 6 stories.
Just then, the door behind them slammed shut and there flashlight blinked out Chris cursed trying to fix it.
Darkness surrounded them more and they couldn't see an inch in front of them. The black was pressing all around them, as if it were suffocating them. A flash of lightning briefly illuminated the place and then a roll of thunder followed then nothing, absolute silence.
They had entered silent hill, the place where strange things happen at all times for no one can hear you once you have entered. This is the reason it is called Silent Hill.
