AN: Wow, it's been a whole since I updated this, let alone anything else. My life has been hella hectic, but I'm hoping to get a lot more writing done this weekend. Now a note about this chapter: Yes Josh really is that sick and twisted...I might be exagerating some things, but trust me when I say, I wouldn't put it past him to do it.

All the characters are mine, except those that appear in the game Silent Hill. I don't own that franchise, though I sure wish I did.

Read and Review.

They moved into the town slowly. They knew what kind of horrors awaited them since so much had been what they expected. Somewhere in the distance they could hear footsteps echoing. As they came through the mist they saw a small girl with black hair standing across the street.

"Great, first the mist, then the ghost, then the car accident, now a creepy kid." Lauren muttered. "I'm going to kill you Josh!"

Josh stuck his tongue out at her. "So how do we get her to come over here?"

They stood silently for a few minutes trying to think of a way to get her to come to them. All of a sudden, Lea got a large grin on her face. "Hey kid, want some candy?"

The girl turned and ran off, away from the five friends. "Oh wait to scare her off Lea." Darcy snapped.

Lea glared at Darcy as he stormed off, determined to catch the little brat before she got to far ahead. Lauren came up behind her and wrapped her arm around her friend. "Don't listen to him; he's probably a little shaken up from being stuck in the hell hole."

Lea shrugged her shoulders as the two girls began walking. "Oh, I don't care what he says, I'm just pissed that the little brat doesn't want my candy!"

Lauren laughed as they rounded the corner, finding Darcy leaning against a fence, breathing heavily. "Way to take your time guys!"

"I seem to remember saying that I would not be running." Lauren told him.

"Yeah, and I agreed." Lea said.

Darcy glared over at Rob and Josh, who had finally just entered the alley. "And what's your excuse?"

"I was watching their backs." Rob said.

"I'm lazy." Josh shrugged.

"Running isn't in our vocabulary." Rob added.

Darcy rolled his eyes and led them towards a fence bearing a "Beware of Dog" sign. Josh peeked over the fence and made a face. He stayed behind as everyone entered, pulling a sharpie from his pocket. Lea briefly wondered where the hell the sharpie had come from, but decided that she was better off not knowing.

She watched as Josh drew a tiny arrow and added "Guts" beside "Dog". Lea shook her head as she and Josh entered the yard. "Dude, that's sick.

Josh glanced at Lea, a grin forming on his face. "No this is sick." He picked up a long portion of entrails and began skipping with them. "Look, it's a skipping rope!"

Lauren could have sworn that Lea's face turned green. "I think I just threw up in my mouth a little." Lea said as Darcy sauntered by.

Everyone gagged slightly at the sound of Darcy's foot disappearing into the carcass. A chorus of "ewww" could be heard as Darcy shouted something unintelligible and began to use the side of the garage to clean off his shoe.

"I put a warning on the damn sign; how the fuck did you miss that?" Josh asked as they continued down the alley.

"Shut up ass." Darcy muttered.

They continued to move through the alley, slowly being covered in an unnatural darkness. Josh dug into his pocket and found a Zippo. He lit the flame and shook the lighter, making the flame grow higher and singeing his eyelashes in the process. Lauren rolled her eyes and shook her head as Josh cursed and rubbed his now burning eyes.

They came across a gate and slowly opened it, afraid of what might pop out of the dark at them. Ahead of them they could hear a squeaking sounded, making them all shiver at how loud it sounded in the dark alley. As they approached a corner, the source of the sound became apparent. A hospital wheel chair was lying on its side, a crooked wheel spinning.

"Aw man, screw walking!" Lea said, righting the wheel chair and sitting in it. She had just placed her hands on the wheel to start moving when the chair collapsed in on itself, pinning Lea. "Uh guys! A little help here please!"

Lauren and Josh glanced at each other and shook their heads, continuing down the alley as Rob and Darcy worked to free her. Not far away they found a hospital gurney covered in a blood-stained white sheet. Josh squealed with glee and thrust the lighter into Lauren's hand, burning her palm in the process. He pulled the sheet off and sat the body of a dead woman up.

"Hey pretty lady, come here often?" He asked the corpse.

"Josh!" Lauren cried out. "Have some respect for the dead!"

Josh's eyes widened. "She's dead? Well screw the sweet talk and the foreplay!" He said, sprawling himself out on the dead body.

"Josh!" Lauren exclaimed again, shoving him off the gurney.

Lea came over and eyed the body before turning on Josh. "At what point did this seem like a good idea? What numbskull sat there and went 'ohhhhh silent hill that sounds fun! Let's check it out…let's explore…'" She hissed, waving her hands around dramatically.

Josh's head appeared over the side of the gurney and an eyebrow cocked as he studied Lea. "I still stand by the fact that you agreed to come here!"

Lauren rolled her eyes. "Are you two children finished?"

Josh smirked and leapt over the gurney, catching his foot on the body, causing both of him and the dead woman to fall to the ground. "Oh sure, yell at me, but when she makes the moves…nothing!"

Lauren shot him a look of warning before they continued their way down the alley. As Lauren stepped forward with the light a massive puddle of blood lay before them. What looked like human torsos were scattered about and on the fence was a human body. Its limbs were latched to the chain link in a crucifixion style. All of the skin on the body was gone, exposing the muscle and bones.

Behind them a childlike sob sounded. When they turned, the five friends saw a hoard of child size dolls rushing at them. Each of the dolls carried a knife, and although they had some speed, their movements were a tad sluggish.

Everyone looked at each other and screamed before they split up and ran in different directions. It didn't take them long to feel stabbing pains in their legs as each person was brought down, succumbing to the darkness.

Lauren sat up quickly, almost succeeding in falling off the bench she was lying on. Gripping her head, she moved a little more slowly, allowing her body to adjust to the vertigo she was experiencing.

"Are you alright?" A strange male voice asked her.

"I don't know, how do I look?" Lauren asked.

"Like shit." She heard Josh's voice.

She glanced up and found him sitting on a chair at a diner counter. She flipped him off before glancing around. Lea came and sat next to her, offering her a glass of water. Lauren muttered her thanks before both girls turned back to the police officer.

"Are you guys from around here?" The officer asked. "Why don't you tell me what happened."

Lauren and Lea stared at the good looking man dreamily, making all three of their male friends roll their eyes. "No we're not from here." Darcy snapped taking a drag of a cigarette. "Do you think we'd be wandering in alleys if we were?"

"Forgive him, he's moodier then most girls." Lauren apologized, earning a nasty look. "We were just driving through and we got into a little accident."

The officer raised his left eyebrow and leaned against the counter. "And?"

"And we saw some little girl running around so we followed her to find out where her parents were." Lea told him.

"And did she tell you where they were?"

Josh shook his head, trying to steal Darcy's cigarette. "No, we never caught up with her."

"Have you seen anyone else?" Lauren asked, catching Rob moving around in the kitchen. "Darcy, what's Rob doing?"

While Darcy moved to check on their friend, the officer shook his head. "No, you guys are the first people I've seen."

"Don't cook that shit Rob!" They heard Darcy yell. "God only knows how long it's been sitting like that."

The girls and Josh turned their attention back to the cop after Darcy's outburst, all three shaking their heads. "So then where the hell is everyone?" Josh asked.

"If I knew that, I wouldn't be asking you guys these questions." The cop said, grabbing a chair and sitting down facing the girls. "My name is Carlos Belvidere; I'm an officer from the next town over."

"I'm Lauren, this is Lea." Lauren told him. "Josh is the one with the Mohawk, Darcy is the one chain smoking and Rob is the one who is attempting to kill himself by cooking some food from here."

Carlos nodded and climbed to his feet. "Look, all the phones are out, so I'm going to try radioing for back up."

Behind him Darcy rolled his eyes and stood, heading for the door. "You do that."

"Hold it, where do you think you're going!" Carlos demanded.

"I'm going to find a way to get myself out of this place." Darcy snapped.

"Do you have a gun?"

Darcy gave Carlos a bored look and allowed Lauren to answer for him. "No, we don't."

Carlos pulled an extra gun from his boot and handed it over to Lauren. "Here, take this then. I hope that you won't have to use it, but I found you guys lying unconscious in that alley so I'd rather you have some kind of protection."

Lauren nodded and was about to put the gun in her bag when Darcy snatched it out of her fingers. "I'll take that."

"Who died and made you God?" Lauren snapped. "I was given the gun, not you!"

"Have you ever fired a gun?" Darcy demanded. When Lauren didn't answer he smirked. "That's what I thought."

Lea rolled her eyes and glanced back at Carlos. "What are you going to do if you can't get out of here?"

"There's always a way out." Carlos told her. "Try not to go to far, I'll be back as soon as I can."

Everyone but Darcy and Josh thanked him as he made his way to the door. Once Carlos was gone, Darcy made a show of checking the weapon. "Who the Hell does he think he is?"

Josh smirked and looked around the diner. Rob appeared out of the kitchen, carrying a plate full of food. "He's only doing his job." Rob said, setting the plate down.

"I still say you shouldn't eat that shit." Darcy muttered.

Josh looked down the length of the counter and suddenly jumped to his feet. "Hey sweet, a knife!"

Before he could get his hand on it, Rob snatched the sharp object away. "We'll give you this knife on one condition -no dissecting anything."

Josh pouted and moved to sit with Lauren and Lea. "I didn't want the knife in the first place."

Lauren and Lea snickered as Darcy began collecting several items that were lying about. Rob looked up to say something to Lauren when a flash of pink glided by the window. "Did anyone else just see that?"

"No…see I told you not to eat that food." Darcy muttered.

Everyone glanced over as the sound of radio static filled the room. Lauren, Lea and Josh all glanced at each other in surprise before their hands flew up to cover their heads as the glass behind them broke. Darcy had been moving towards the radio when what looked like a pink pterodactyl broke through the window and pecked at his head.

"Aww look, Darcy made a friend!" Lauren said as Darcy shot at the large bird.

Four rounds went into it before it collapsed onto the ground. Darcy kicked it a few times in the ribs before becoming satisfied that it was indeed dead. "Fuck!" He exclaimed, releasing the breath that he didn't realize he was holding.

Lauren stood and walked over to him, peering around him at the body on the ground. "I thought your girlfriend was staying home this weekend."

Darcy glared down at her before thrusting the map in her face. "Okay smart ass, what do we do now?"

Lauren snatched the map away and walked over to where everyone was standing, Lea checking the cut on the back of Josh's head from the glass. "Well, I think we should go back to that alley."

The group was quiet as Lauren marked off the map. Once everything was gathered, they each took a deep breath as they once again left to deal with the hell that they had been thrust into.
