A/N: Thanks again for the reviews, and yes Silent Hill-Child, I am a big Tomb Raider fan. I'm writing a TR/Indiana Jones crossover series, besides this story and my Clock Tower story, that will be posted on my website And on another note about the new TR game, I'm very excited about it, especially after watching the trailer on the official site, it looks amazing. :)
Chapter 4: Into Hell
Liz nervously looked around her as she sat in the passenger seat of Linda Marshall's patrol car.
"Thank you." Liz said softly.
Linda smiled. "Well I couldn't just let you go out here alone, and on foot no less. I'm really sorry about my partner. These last few days have been rough, I think he's beginning to lose hope."
"No, a person who can just send some one out into a place like this alone lost hope a long time ago." Liz mused.
"Well, he wasn't always like that, I guess losing his brother and then finding himself in the same situation his brother was in, you could imagine a person would become an asshole." Linda quipped as she pushed her strawberry blonde hair back into a ponytail.
Liz looked at her cell phone hoping that Roger would try to contact her to tell her he's alright. As she went to dial his number the radio in the car became full of static.
"Damn thing, since this all happened several days ago our radios have been cutting out. We can't contact anyone outside of Silent Hill for help." Linda said flipping to a different station.
There was still only static.
"That's weird, when I was still in London I kept getting strange phone calls where I could only here that static." Liz mumbled.
Linda fiddled with the radio some more when there was a loud thump on the roof of the patrol car. Liz looked up as Linda drew her gun.
"What is it?" Liz whispered.
"I don't know, but whatever it is I doubt it wants to be friends." Linda said as she slowed the car down.
Liz looked ahead as a thick eerie fog rolled in over the street. Vaguely she could see the faint silhouettes of these grey skinny creatures.
"Linda?" Liz said, feeling herself become over run with fear.
"What?" Linda glanced at her when the creature that had landed on the roof of the car pressed its large ugly face against the windshield.
Liz screamed has the pale slimy skinned creature opened its jaws pressing them against the window like a suction cup. She watched as its sharp teeth spun around in a perfect circle, cutting the glass. Within a split second its long black tongue shot into the car through the hole.
"Hurry, get out of the car!" Linda yelled as the slimy tongue wrapped around her neck.
Liz stumbled out of the car running across the street to a school. She struggled to open the door when she felt some cold and clammy rub against her leg. She looked down to see one of those grey creatures. It had no eyes or nose, its lower torso was missing, but it had deadly claws and teeth. Liz quickly kicked the thing away from her then finally got the school doors to open. She quickly closed the doors leaning her back against them. She slid down to her knees crying. She listened closely as she could hear the creature scrapping at the door from the other side. She held her breath as she heard Linda's gun go off several times then the shrieking sound of tires squealing. She slowly stood up and looked out the window in the door. Linda's patrol car was gone.
"She left me..." Liz whispered.
She turned away from the doors looking down the dark empty hallway. On the wall to her left hung a banner that read, "Welcome to Midwich Elementary School". She took a deep breath then made her way down the dark ominous hallway.
