Chapter 1:Blood in abundance

Suddenly, the blue Opel stopped and the car became quiet. It stopped at a big road sign that said it was 2 kilometers left to Silent Hill.

"Shit!" Gaia Anderson hissed between her teeth.

She stepped out of the car and saw that it came smoke from the hood. Well, no wonder it just died like that, she thought. It's pretty old. And then she sighed. Now she would have to walk all the way to Silent Hill; she were on her way to visit her parents there. Well, it was just 2 kilometers, so it shouldn't take long time. It was just that Gaia had aches since the hard training at the gym the previous day. She glared angrily at the car and looked around. Her surroundings was a little spooky. The road twisted between spruce forests and a thick fog smothered the air. She noticed that the sky was pitch-black and not a single star was visible. After all, it was kinda late.

Gaia fished a little flashlight out of a pocket on her black jeans shorts. She put the flashlight in the breast pocket on her blue jeans jacket. And then she let it's light obliterate the darkness around her. The flashlight wasn't big, but the light it spread was pretty strong. So Gaia started to walk along the road with a grim expression on her face. The pavement was decorated with big cracks and Gaia almost started to wonder how old the road was. She shivered with cold and . The night was a rather cold one and her clothes weren't exacty made for a walk in the cold night.

A wind swept over the deserted road and her curly, black hair danced on her back. Why is it so quiet? she thought and looked over her shoulder. I haven't seen any cars since the last village, and I were there about three hours ago. I've got a bad feeling of this. Suddenly, a big red spot appeared on the road. Gaia took a step against the spot and stared at it and a shiver ran through her body. It was some sort of red liquid that lay on the asphalt and it looked very ominous. She closed her eyes and then slowly opened them. The spot was gone. She frowned. Wierd. Maybe she just were so tired she started to hallucinate. That was a possibility. But she just couldn't ignore the unpleasant feeling that made her skin crawl.

With a sigh, she continued to walk on the road and noticed that the spruce forests had been replaced with forests of oaks. The oaks had bare branches and looked quite dead and decaying. That's almost more strange than the red spot, Gaia thought and walked a little faster. She wanted to come to her parent's house as quickly as possible.

When she saw the big sign, it caused her to grin. Now, it wasn't a long walk left before she reached her parent's house.

"Welcome to Silent Hill"

Quickly she searched through her pockets after the map of Silent Hill and found it. Her parent's house was marked with red colour. It wasn't a long part left to walk now, so she lay down the map in her jeans pocket and started to walk with a new elasticity in her steps. Houses stood lined up on the sides of the streets and she started to recognize the areas in the town. But something were different. Probably the fog, because Gaia could barely see ten meters in the direction her flashlight were pointed to.

The town seemed to also be deserted. It was late at night, but there always used to be someone out no matter what time it was. Or at least, it was like that when she lived there. A nostalgic feeling filled her and childhood memories started to flow into her head. Silent Hill were a great place to grow up at. Maybe all her memories wasn't happy, but most of them. She couldn't help it, but she smiled when she thought of that time when she and her little sister had been playing football in the garden. Gaia had kicked the ball a little too hard and it flew into their house, through one of the new, expensive windows. Then, it were a nightmare, but nowadays she used to tell her friends about it and they always laughed at it.

Gaia frowned when her thoughts wandered away to her little sister, Joyce. Joyce died when she was nine years old. She had been out on the street, playing with the new Barbie doll she had gotten on her birthday the previous day. A taxi driver had fell asleep while driving and ran over Joyce with the car. Gaia remembered it too well, too detailed than she wanted. She remembered Joyce's scream and the look in her eyes. She remembered how Joyce had looked, her mouth were wide opened in a silent scream and her eyes reflected the pain and fear. There had been blood on her perfectly white teeth. Oh, Joyce. Gaia had been fourteen then. She shaked the memory away from her mind and stopped walking. Quiet tears ran down her cheeks and she angrily dried her cheeks. It was just a memory and it had happened fifteen years ago. Just a silly memory. She didn't have time get caught in the past. No, she really didn't have time to do such stupid things.

It was just a short part left to walk. In fact, her parent's were supposed to be on the same street she waswalking on. So she quickly madeher way down the street and saw the old, brick house that she used to live in. But that was another story. Gaia saw that the garden wasn't well-managed. Weeds lived there and all the beautiful flowers that her mother had been taking good care of had withered. Gaia got a little confused. Her parents wasn't too old to take care of their own garden! There sure was something strange about it. She walked on the garden path to the house and walked the steps up to the porch. The tree porch was rotten and it creaked beneath her weight.

The house looked a little declined. It wasnät in a good shape; big cracks in the bricks and a couple of layers of dirt was ingrained in the windows. The door hung on just one hinge. Had something happened there? Gaia started to get a little worried and rang on the door bell.

No answer.

They probably fell asleep while they were waiting for me, she thought and rang on the door bell again.

No answer.

The door was of course unlocked, so she carefully opened it, not wanting it to pop out of the hunge, and stepped into the house. A familiar smell met her and she closed the door behind her. The house lay in a spooky darkness and her flashlight was the only light source in sight. Apart from the dirty floor, the hallway looked quite okay. It was awfully quiet. Gaia decided to break the silence.

"Mom?" she shouted. "Dad?"

Her shrill voice echoed through the dark hallway. She walked to the nearest door. It was slightly open and it lead her to the bathroom. The mirror over the washbasin was broken and the sherds was scattered on the tile floor. She noticed that water was dripping from the shower, but when she shoved the shower veil aside she saw that it weren't water dripping; it was something red. Red like blood. Gaia quickly pushed that thought away from her mind. Of course it wasn't blood. But Gaia started to get really worried. What had happened? Quickly, she walked to the kitchen; it usually was a nice, little kitchen, but now it wasn't nice at all. The kitchen sink was filled up with a red liquid; it looked like the same type of liquid that she found on the road before. Everything in the pantrys were scattered on the floor and some of the tins were broken and the food that should be inside the tins was lying on the floor. Gaia's pulse increased and she could feel her heart pound in her chest.

"Mom! Dad!"

Those two words were filled of fear and desperation. She made her way to the living room. The couch had overturned and the TV was on. But the screen only showed static. The room was a mess, the wallpapers had been teared up and someone had bent up the board flooring. It was a horribly sight. But all of a sudden, the TV's screen changed and showed a girl or a woman who was sitting and leaning her forehead against her hands. A woman's voice began to speak:

"What is it? Still has an unusually high fever... Eyes don't open... getting a pulse... But just barely breathing. Her skin is all charred! Even when I change the bandages, the blood and pus just start oozing through! Why... What is keeping that child alive? I... can't stand it any longer... I won't tell a soul... promise. So please..."

Then the screen showed the statics again. Gaia stared at the TV. What the hell was that? she thought. That was really wierd and she shivered with fear. Oh, how she wished this was just a nightmare. She didn't want to stay in the living room anymore, maybe the screen would change again and show something more bizarre than what she had just seen. So she ran to the bed room in panic. She swung the door open and hesitated a little before going in. Actually, she knew she didn't want to see what was in there, because she knew that a scene of destruction was in there. But she didnät hesitate for a long time and took a definite step into the bed room, but when she placed her foot on the floor it was like she sank right through the floor. Terror struck her and she struggled to stop sinking through the floor. It all happened so fast and she didn't stand a chance against whatever it was that pulled her through the floor.

But she managed to see what it were that lied on the double bed; her parents. They were bathing in their own blood and her mom had a big chinese cleaver in her throat. No! she wanted to scream, but her lungs didn't have enough oxygen to manage that. Gaia sank through darkness while streaks of red colour surrounded her and tried to strangle her. She fought against the red streaks, but they just hardened their grip around her throat. She gasped for air, but everything just went black before her eyes. Shit! I'm goin' to die! was the last thoughts that flied through her head before the darkness completely got the advantage. She let her consciousness flow out of her body and the last thing she saw was a never-ending mist of blood.

A/N: Umm... I hope this one's better than the previous chapter 1. I must say that I think it's better than the previous version. But I dunno what other people thinks about it, so please let me know!
