Silent Hill Fan Fiction
Chapter 1
Steven Bowers
It was three in the morning and Steven had two more hours before he reached Ashfield. He wasn't alone of course, his sister and older brother had insisted on catching a ride to Ashfield with him. He yawned and looked at the road that lay ahead of him.
Silent Hill was only nineteen miles away and he needed to stop and get some coffee otherwise, he'd more than likely get into a car wreck. His family didn't need anymore dead relatives, especially any violent deaths.
Like the one they just heard about. He didn't want to go to the funeral they had for his uncle. He did though, for his mother's sake he went to his uncle's funeral. He glanced at his sister who was sleeping deeply.
He wondered how she felt about the death of their Uncle. She seemed to be quiet and withdrawn since the funeral. She did have a right to take it the hardest because he had raised her most of her life. Steven knew that he was like a father to her, a real father not one that came home drunk and beat on her every chance he got.
He sighed and started to concentrate on the road, there were a lot of trees this way. Toluca Lake was near here and he actually enjoyed coming down here every summer to fish. The lake seemed to give him the chills when he was around, but he also found it kind of comforting. He sighed as he continued to drive down the road slowly getting to Silent Hill.
He tried to concentrate on the road but his thoughts kept going back to his Uncle Jack. Jack was the kind of guy that would give you his last dollar if he knew you needed it. He was also the kind of guy that hated violence and often was a peace maker.
He didn't deserve to die the way he died. Steven closed his eyes and thought about the little trip he took to the crime scene. No cops were there so he decided to check it out. All of the evidence was taken and nothing was there except the bloody mess that was all over the carpet.
It disturbed Steven, and even as he was driving down the road he could still see the blood on the carpet as plain as the fog that was slowly creeping out of the woods that were on either side of the road.
The fog was coming in really thick and it was worrying Steven. He looked at his sister again and then shook her awake. She looked at him and then out at the road.
"Sorry to wake you but we've got a problem, there's fog on the road and it's getting really thick." He said to her.
"I'm sure we can get through it, just keep driving." She said to him and then started to get cozy again. He felt a little irritated that she had no regard for their safety and so he stopped the car.
She looked at him and then frowned. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked him in a sharp tone.
"I am not putting us in danger, that fog is really thick and I can only see about three feet in front of us!" he said.
"If you can see three feet in front of us than you can see that sign right there!" she yelled back pointing at a sign.
It was a green sign worn from years of sitting in that spot, it said,
Silent Hill 5 miles
He looked at it and then decided that it was okay to drive the additional five miles to get to Silent Hill. He'd just have to be really careful and be watchful.
"I'm sorry for getting irritated, I didn't see the sign. I guess we might as well drive to Silent Hill then." He said and then put the car into first.
"Steve I have to tell you something about Uncle Jack." Jill suddenly said. He looked at her and wondered what she could possibly say about her beloved Father-type. She hadn't even mentioned his name once during the funeral or even before that.
"Keep it down up there I'm trying to sleep!" Eric, Steven's older brother said.
"I'll tell you later." She said and then sat there in silence. They were all too wrapped up in their own things to worry about each other. At least it seemed that way to Steven.
"You can tell me now and spare me the suspense." He said to her. She looked at him for a minute studying his face as if trying to find a clue as to what he was thinking. She let out a sigh and then decided it was okay to tell him.
"I have to tell you this because it involves his death." She said and then grew silent as they continued to slowly drive down the highway to Silent Hill. He looked at her for a brief second and then looked back just in time to see a bright flash of light.
It was too blinding to be headlights of any kind. He closed his eyes and slammed on the brakes. When he opened his eyes he was laying on a bed of some kind staring at a ceiling. Everything was blurry like he had been sleeping for a while.
He closed his eyes again and let out a moan as if he were sleeping for a long time. Where am I? He wondered as he lay there. He felt weak and his whole body was sore. What happened a few seconds ago and how did he end up on a bed in a strange room?
"I'm going to go try and find some help, if you can hear me I'm going to see if there is someone else around." A female voice said.
Steven looked up just in time to see a young nurse leave the room. He caught a glimpse of her brown hair and white uniform and that was it. What the hell is going on? He wondered. He tried to get up and found that it was a lot harder than he would have imagined.
"Where am I?" Steven asked himself. He got up and looked at the night stand that was next to the bed. All that was there was a couple of health drinks. He tried to study his surroundings and found that wherever he was had mesh over the windows.
"Must be some kind of medical facility, maybe a nut house." He said as he slowly got to his feet. He grabbed one of the health drinks and took a swig of it. It had a vanilla taste to it and it almost made him gag.
He sat back on the bed for a minute and suddenly he felt his strength start to regain. The soreness of his muscles started to leave and soon he felt ready to leave.
He stood up and started to walk out of the room. He figured it was a hospital that he was in. He opened the door and went out into the hallway. He had to see if his sister and brother were okay.
This all seemed like a really bad dream, or a bad hallucination of some kind. He wasn't even sure if it really was reality just that it felt like reality right now.
"Maybe I've gone totally nuts and I'm lying in a ditch somewhere laughing like some lunatic." He said to himself. There had to have been a wreck because he suddenly found himself in a hospital bed. That seemed the most logical explanation at the moment.
He looked around and to his surprise he was in total darkness. At first he thought maybe he was outside then he could see the light seeping out from underneath his room's door. He opened the door again and realized that the light was coming from the window.
"So it's day time outside." He muttered as he went back into the hallway. He left the door open so he could see into the darkness better. He could see a few doors down the hall.
"Hello?" he called out into the darkness. There was no reply to his call. He felt a chill. Where would he be in Silent Hill? He couldn't remember the name of the hospital there. It was Brook something he thought as he walked away from the room he was just in.
He looked at the room next to his and then the one after that one. They each said S-3, S-4 and so on. He figured he was on a higher floor than first floor. He smiled and started to walk further down the hallway. He figured there must have been a blackout somewhere.
He listened and heard nothing as he walked further into the dark hallway. It was weird that he didn't hear a single patient or nurse or even a doctor in this place. He knocked on a door near the light and got no answer so he opened the door.
Inside was an empty room with a bed and nightstand just like the room he was in. He looked around for any signs of life ever being in the room recently and found none. He felt scared but at the same time he still had hope that the place wasn't entirely empty.
As he left the room he heard a moan further down the hall. He stopped and listened for a minute. He heard it again.
It was followed by soft footfalls in the hallway. He started to follow the footfalls and then hollered a hello into the dark hallway. The footfalls stopped and then he heard a shuffle. The noise appeared to be coming in his direction this time.
In the dim light he could see an outline of a slumped figure. He thought it must be an old man or another injured person.
"Are you okay?" he asked the figure as it drew closer and closer to him. It started to take form as it grew closer to the light.
A nurse's hat was the first thing he could make out. The uniform was the next thing he saw. He let out a shocked gasp as he saw the nearly faceless creature in the nurses outfit creep closer to him.
"Hey stay away!" he yelled out in fear. It started to pick up speed so he ran in the other direction. It was a hideous creature with a hunched over body and it clutched a cane in its hand. He ran past the room he first found himself in and then to a door.
He tried the door but it was locked, he rattled the door and punched it and kicked it trying everything he could to open it but it wouldn't budge.
"Help me!" he screamed as he turned around and saw the nurse-monster drawing closer to where he was. He looked around and saw a pipe lying in the corner of the hall. He grabbed it and held it up for defense.
"Don't come any closer!" he yelled at it. It stopped seven feet away from him and then started to walk towards him. Steven stepped as far into the corner as he could. It drew closer still.
His hands were suddenly sweaty and even though he didn't realize it, he swung the pipe with everything he had. It hit the nurse-monster with enough force to send it sprawling into a wall. It sat there in shock and then began to shake the attack off. He swung down on it again and saw the blood that oozed out of its head as he hit it.
It suddenly began to convulse and thrash screaming out the most horrible screams he had ever heard in his whole entire life. He suddenly felt the urge to hit it again just to make sure it stayed down. Instead he brought his foot down on it as hard as he could smashing brains all over the floor.
He let out a sigh and fell to the floor in fear and shock at what he'd just killed.
Chapter 2
2nd floor
Steven looked at the mess he made and then threw up. He had to get to a different floor away from this bloody mess. The question now was how would he get to a different floor? He looked over at the dead nurse and then a glimpse of something shimmering caught his eye.
He looked at it glimmering in the dull light that filtered through the grungy filthy window of the room he was in only a few minutes before. The light was bright enough to carry into the hall and pick up things.
He got up and went to the object and found that it was a key. He picked it up and quickly went to the door he was locked out of and tried it. It fit perfectly and when he heard the click indicating he unlocked the door, he smiled.
His smile felt so alien in the hospital, almost too alien that it made him want to forget he even did it. He stopped smiling and then opened the door and stepped out into the main hall of the third floor.
He felt the darkness all around his body. He felt around for a door, a wall, anything. The darkness felt too intense and he felt like he was drifting through an endless void.
He was looking into the blackness of the hall he was in when he saw a light. It was glowing underneath a door further down the hall. He slowly walked to the door and tried it. It opened so he went inside.
There was a flashlight lying on the floor. He bent down and picked it up. Shining it around the room he found bloody smears all over the wall so he decided to leave the room. He took a quick sweep of the shelves before he left and found nothing worth taking.
He cautiously stepped out of the room looking down the hallway as he did. As he turned he saw a nurse-creature. It swung at him almost hitting him in the face with its cane. He ducked just in time and ran down the hall in the direction he originally came from. He saw a door as he ran and decided to try it. It opened and as he started to enter it he was knocked into it by the nurse-creature.
He let out a scream as he felt himself falling down the stairs. He fell down the first flight of stairs catching himself before any serious damage could happen. He looked up and saw the nurse-creature standing at the top of the stairs. It let out a shriek that sent a chill down his spine and then gave chase. He let out a yelp and began to run down the stairs.
He ran down the next flight and into the second floor entrance. He slammed the door and pushed his weight against it. He could feel the thing on the other side pounding it and trying to get in. He felt terror and panic as he started to give and lose ground. He looked around for anything to give him an edge against the thing that was just a doors space between him.
He saw nothing and decided the best action would be to retreat to a room near where he was. He couldn't fight because he lost the pipe while he was falling down the stairs.
He looked around and saw a room just across the hallway from where he was. He slammed into the door and fell through. It was a hallway similar to the one on the third floor. He went into the first patient room he saw.
It was empty except for a few boxes and a bed frame. He locked the door and sat on one of the boxes on the floor. All of this felt too overwhelming for him. He needed to take a minute to gather up everything he'd just seen and work over in his mind.
He was in a hospital with insane nurses that didn't have faces. That much he was sure about. How he got to the hospital and why he was so weak, well that was the confusing part. None of it made any sense at all. How does one go from driving down a road to lying in a hospital bed?
He stood up and began to pace back and forth. His sister and brother were somewhere in this hospital. At least that's what he assumed. So he'd try to find them and get out of here. He looked down at the box he was sitting on earlier and opened it.
There were several things inside of it. He looked at the Crowbar that lay on top of everything else. It would do for a weapon for now. He grabbed it and started for the door. He could think about all of this after he got out of the hospital.
He stepped out into the hallway and looked down to the end as far as he could. There were enough doors open to light up most of the hallway. There were no nurse-creatures to deal with either.
He decided that the best thing to do would be to check each room on this floor and the one below. Maybe he'd find his brother and sister and if he didn't he'd have to look for them in Silent Hill.
He went door to door until there were only three doors left. He opened the first room and looked inside. There was a box in the middle of the room. He looked at it stepped into the room to see what was in it. He saw a small latch on it and a lock on it as well. There was a note pinned to a piece of bloody cloth next to the box. It said,
Go to the room with all of the bright lights and the knives. A key is there. It will open the box and reveal my secret. Hehehe.
Stan
He looked at it for a second and struck the lock with his crowbar knocking it off of the box. He didn't have time to mess around looking for a key in some bright room. He opened the box and found a key inside.
He looked at the key it had a tag that said "front door" on it. He put it in his pocket; he'd probably need it later.
"Are you Steven?" a voice from behind him asked. He whirled around and jumped back nearly falling over. It was the nurse from the room on the third floor. She was a short woman with brown hair and green eyes. He could see that she was just as jumpy as he was.
"Yes I'm Steven." He said and put his hand out to her and she shook it briefly. She glanced at him and then looked down nervously.
"Your sister told me to tell you that she's okay. She'll meet over at the High School." She said. He looked at her and then shook his head.
"Did she tell you where my brother Eric was?" he asked her. She shook her head.
"She only left the one message and then walked off." She replied. He could see that under normal circumstances he would have been attracted to the young nurse. He looked at her name tag and then to her.
"What are your plans for getting out of here Eliza?" he asked the woman. She looked at him and then shrugged.
"I don't know, I was going to leave through the front door but it's locked. I checked every room on this floor and the third and they are all empty. I'm scared, I hate being alone in this hospital." She said.
He could see that she was upset and not a very healthy state of mind.
He looked around at the room they were in and then at the door.
"How many of those things are out there?" he asked her. She looked down at the floor and then at him.
"About twelve or so, I think, because that's how many nurses were working today." She said.
He knew for a fact that at least two of them were on the third and second floors because he'd killed one of them. That meant that there were at least eleven left.
"Eliza, will you go with me to the High School? I don't really know my way around Silent Hill to well." He suddenly asked her. She looked at him and then nodded.
"I'm not staying in this hospital that's for sure!" she exclaimed. He smiled at her and then once again stopped it short. Somehow it felt very wrong to smile in this place.
"There are roughly eleven more of those things in this place and I'm guessing there all on the next floor so stay behind me at all times okay?" he said to her.
She nodded and then they left the room went down the hallway and went to the next floor.
