I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE SILENT HILL'S!
The Truth Hurts
Alex had no idea where he was.
The walls were stained in crimson, and the place had a scent that burned his nostrils.
Slowly the teen made his way through the abondoned hall; unknowing of what awaited him.
"Where the hell am I?" Alex thought aloud.
Suddenly the sound of footsteps approaching made Alex come to a halt.
At first the patters of feet were distant and slow, but they soon began to grow quicker and closer.
Alex didn't know why, but he feel an ugrency to run away from the sound.
Blindy searching for a means of escape, Alex rushed through the nearest door.
The room was dimly lit, and pieces of flesh were scattered at random across the metal flooring.
Alex felt like gagging when he saw the raw meat around him.
"Alex..."
The Shepherd boy looked around, in search for the source of the voice.
"Who's there?" Alex called.
"Please help me!" The voice pleaded.
Alex walked further into the room. A large gate came into view, showing a frightened Joshua on the otherside.
"Josh...what are you doing there?"
The boy looked up at his older brother, his eyes welling with tears.
"Please help me...Your the only one who can!"
Alex looked down.
"Tell me what you want me to do."
"T-that town..." Joshua mumbled, almost to himself more so then Alex.
Alex watched the boy in confusion.
"Josh, what are you talking about?"
Joshua then stood. The elder brother noticed a metal shackled secured around Josh's right ankle.
"Hey whats tha-" Alex was stopped mid-sentence due to a loud crashing sound.
"They won't let me leave! Please Alex save me, before it's too late!" Joshua cried.
Blood then began seeping from the walls, filling the floor with extreme pace.
"What the fuck!" Alex exclaimed in suprise at the crimson flood that was now up to his knee's.
Alex then looked over to where Joshua had been moment ago, only to find the space empty.
"Josh! Where are you!" Alex called; panic striking his heart.
"JOSH!" Alex couldn't let this happen again...he had been given another chance to save his Brother, and now he was gone. Alex felt like a failure.
Alex gasped slightly as the blood then began creeping its way up to his chin, then filling in his nose and stinging his eyes.
Alex jolted upright, letting out a yell while doing so.
Slowly the teen sat on the edge of his bed, taking deep breaths while doing so.
This had all been a horrible dream...
A dream, that could be telling him something?
After a few minutes of heavy breaths Alex's heart beat began to slow back to a standard pace.
Alex knew he wouldn't be able to sleep after that dream, so he decided to take a quick shower to calm himself.
Alex exited the bathroom, and checked the alarm clock next to the bunk bed's.
The clock read 2:06 am
Alex sighed. Everytime he saw those three numbers it would make his chest feel tight, like a severe guilt.
But he didn't feel bad for himself, infact he glady accepted these feelings...afterall it was his fault Joshua was gone.
The brunette took a moment to revise over the events that had taken place in his nightmare.
Joshua had wanted Alex to save him, but from what?
And 'that Town' Joshua mentioned...
It was like a puzzle piece fitting in place.
Alex put on some Jeans, a black T-shirt, and Black hoodie.
He needed to get out of this house. Alex snuck out of the quiet Shepherd home, and through the front door.
Stopping at the front porch steps, Alex took a slowly intake of fresh morning air.
It was still dark out, but he didn't care. After the accident at the Lake Alex felt like nothing could possibly shake him any further.
The air outside was cold, and had even caused a slight blanket of fog throughout the town. Alex began slowly walking. He didn't know where he was planning to go, but he needed to clear his mind.
Before Alex knew it, he had travelled quite a distance across the Town, and was nearing the street Elle lived at.
The young Shepherd stopped in slight curiosity at the yelling coming from the Holloway house.
He may have been about four houses away, but he could still hear the females yelling at one another.
A door slammed, and Elle emerged from the front porch.
Alex turned quietly, hoping to make a break for it before Elle saw him.
"Alex is that you!" Elle called.
'Shit!' Was the only word that crossed the frustrated teens mind.
"Yeah...it's me." Alex responded quietly.
Elle aproached the male.
"What are you doing here at this time?"
"I was just going for a walk."
"Oh...okay." Elle said quietly.
Alex placed his hands in his Jacket pockets.
"So...what was going on back there?" The brunette asked, trying to break the awkward silence.
"Just a stupid family squabble." Elle chuckled slightly.
The two stood in silence for another moment before Alex broke it yet again.
"Well...I should probably get back to my walk."
"Alex. Would you mind if I tagged along for a bit?" Elle asked meekly.
Secretly he didn't want her to come with him. Ever since they had been young she had seemed to have a little crush on him, but Alex had never felt that way about her.
"I guess..." Alex mumbled.
He didn't want to be rude, but his mind had been elsewhere ever since he got back here.
Alex then began walking up the empty road, knowing all too well Elle had decided to tag not far behind.
"Look I know your probably still mad about what I said the other day, and I'm really sorry about it." Elle blurted.
Alex sighed.
"It's fine honestly...your the least of my problems, trust me."
"Well, what else is on your mind thats bothering you?" Elle asked caringly.
Alex subconciously begain slowly wakling slightly in front of her again. He wished she would stop trying to get close to him all the time. He didn't want to hurt her feelings, but he wasn't attracted to her, not that she was an ugly girl, but he just for some reason didn't find her appealing in that way.
"Ha, wouldn't you like to know..." Alex chuckled to himself.
Elle stopped walking.
"Actually, I really would."
Alex realised they had walked back to the woods near Toluca Lake.
"You wouldn't believe me, so I may aswell not even bother." Alex said.
"Try me." Elle responded, trying to usher him into telling her.
Alex looked down at the concrete road.
"Well...I know this sounds strange, but I've been seeing my Brother."
Elle stared the boy in silence for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, that I have seen him, and spoken to him." Alex mumbled realizing how crazy he sounded.
"Alex, Josh is dead...you couldn't have." Elle spoke quietly, trying to spare the boys feelings.
"Elle, I know I sound mad, but please believe me!"
The blonde bit her bottom lip lightly.
"Maybe you should talk to Dr. Fitch about some of this Alex."
Alex felt the frustration grow within him.
"Why, so he can suggest me to a therapist?"
Elle averted her gaze away from Alex.
"Yeah...I think you need to talk to someone about all of this. Your probably just really stressed or something."
Alex scoffed slightly.
"I should have known this would happen. I should have known you would say that...god I'm stupid for confiding in you even a little."
Elle frowned.
"Well I'm sorry that I don't believe that your talking to your deceased Brother Alex!"
"Whatever, I don't need you to believe me anyway. I know the truth and thats all that matters." Alex retorted while walking back the way the two had came earlier.
"Whats your problem anyway Alex. Ever since you came back from Military School, you have been a real asshole!" Elle growled while following the male.
Alex stopped and turned toward the blonde.
"My problem is that I didn't go to Military School, I was in a Psychiatric Ward. And I feel just a tad depressed because I pretty much killed my own Brother!"
Elle glared at Alex in shock at the new found information.
"A-Alex...I-I didn't know."
The brunette then continued onward with his walk home, leaving a shocked blonde behind.
