Chapter 2: Silent Hill

It had been a long trip and Liz was exhausted. She looked over at her boyfriend Roger Connolly as he drove.

"So what are you suppose to be doing?" He asked, glancing at her.

"They want me to survey the town, see if it's top vacation spot list worthy." She laughed.

"Sounds like they don't see much potential in you if that's all you're doing is surveying places." Roger mused.

"I don't know, there's just some thing weird about this whole thing. I mean the lady calls me in the middle of the night and then two plane tickets suddenly appear by my door, and get this, we have to pay for our own tickets in order to get back home. Bullshit." Liz snorted.

"Well I think..." Roger started when a person walked out in front of their car.

"Roger, look out!" Liz screamed.

The car swerved missing the person, it skidded to its side rolling over several times then stopping on its roof. Liz groaned as she unbuckled her seat belt.

"You ok?" Roger asked.

"Yeah, what about you?" She looked at him as he kicked his door open.

"I just banged my head, other than that I'm fine." He said helping her out of the car.

Liz looked around as the sun began to set on the desolate horizon. She looked past the wreck to see if they had hit the person or not. She walked, following the skid marks to where she had seen the person. No one was there, she could have sworn she seen some one standing in the middle of the road. She got a chill up her spin as Roger walked over to her.

"The town shouldn't be too far from here. I'm going to go get help. You stay here in case some one shows up, we don't need them crashing too." He quipped.

Liz hesitated for a moment, she didn't like the thought of being left alone. "Ok."

"I'll have my phone with me, ok, and I'll be back as soon as I can find a police officer." Roger said.

"Ok, be careful." Liz said watching him head up the road.

She walked back to the car pulling her things out. She carried them to the other side of the road, taking a seat in the grass.

Several hours past and Roger never came back. Liz squinted in the dark as she shined her flashlight around.

"That's it, I'm going." She said to herself.

She slipped on her backpack and started up the road. After only walking for a short time she could see the town of Silent Hill just up ahead. An eerie fog laid dormant over the town, giving it a startling sense of angst. As she entered the town she could see that it was abnormally quiet, almost as if it had been abandoned. She shivered as a tingling sensation ran through her body. Why isn't anyone around? No cars, no people, nothing. This place is a ghost town. She thought as she walked into a diner.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" She said looking around.

There was no answer, just the faint noise of the static on the TV set hanging on the left wall. She sighed taking a seat at the bar. She placed her backpack on the chair next to her, pulling out her cell phone. She dialed Roger's number, praying he would answer.

"Hello?" She said as some one picked up the phone.

She listened closely as the other line became full of static.

"Roger? Hello?" She said as she listened closely.

She held her breath as she heard a faint noise in the background. A noise that sounded like some one screaming.

"Roger?" She said again when the static became worse.

"Vos mos intereo!" A horrible sounding voice screeched through the static.

Liz dropped the phone startled. She bent down picking it up when she seen a large figure walk past the diner. She quickly looked up to see nothing was there.

"What the hell is going on here?" She whispered, feeling herself become filled with fear and dread. "What have I gotten myself into?"

She trembled slightly as she stood back up. She glanced over her shoulder into the kitchen of the diner. She heard a faint scrapping noise on the floor. She leaned over the bar looking at the tiled flooring. She gasped seeing a strange looking grey creature. Its head bald and smooth, its upper torso skinny and boney. It appeared that its legs had been broken and was now clawing its way towards the bar. Liz stumbled back grabbing her backpack. She watched over her shoulder as the creature lifted itself up onto the bar. She flung open the door stepping out into the cool night air. She quickly closed the door behind her watching the creature through the window.

"What is that thing?" She mused when suddenly she was attacked

She fell to the side walk looking up at the vicious creature. It stood at least 7 feet tall, it's flesh crimson and black. Its eyes were hollow and immense, its jaws huge and terrifying. Liz wanted to scream but couldn't. She could see her life flash before her as the creature hovered over, expecting her to attempt to run. She slowly inched back as the green and yellow slime oozing from the monsters jaws dripped down on her. It growled in some odd language as Liz scrambled away from it. She got to her feet, running as fast as she could, the monster fumbling after her. She looked over her shoulder as the creature bellowed loudly. She looked ahead of her as she seen two more creatures come out of the alley in front of her.

"Oh God! Just leave me alone!" She cried as she found her self cornered by the monsters.

She dropped to her knees as one of them hit her in the head knocking her out. She laid on the cold stone sidewalk as the three monsters hovered over her, decided which one got which part of her.
