---

It took two minutes, and fifteen seconds after Josh decided to stay for the sirens to be heard in the distance.

Travis and Alex looked about in confusion, Alex looked down the street with a worried expression, as the fog was getting much thicker, and it didn't help that the sun was setting, "What could be causing this... We haven't even tried to leave yet..." Alex said quietly to himself. Josh looked up in fear, as he slowed to a stop, falling behind the two other men. "I've been bad...." Josh said in complete fear as he began to back away from Alex "I... I'm going to be punished." Alex looked at his little brother with a hint of worry on his face. "Josh, are you okay?" He asked as he tried to go toward his brother, until he saw his brother ready to flee from him. Alex backed up a bit, but held his hand out in a calming manner "Don't worry, I'll protect you." Josh looked at his brother like a deer caught in the headlights. "You can't save me Alex... They're going to punish me for breaking the rules..." Josh held his head and fell to his knees. "They want to hurt me, Alex. I can hear them whispering to me, telling me what they're gonna do once they find me..." Josh said with tears falling from his eyes, the boy holding his head like it was splitting in two.

Alex's radio went off.

Alex watched in horror as a Schism (1) emerged from the fog, twitching and running straight for his unknowing brother. "Josh look out!" Alex screamed as he dashed for the younger, scooping him up under his arm and rolling out of the way just as it swung it's hammerhead like face into the ground where Josh was present not a second before. Alex hissed as he skid his knee on the ground in order to stop the roll prematurely as to not harm Josh.

The Schism made a disgruntled screech before jumping straight for the two brothers. Alex quickly pulled out his ceremonial dagger and ran it straight down the center of its mouth, cleanly cutting half of the deformed head off. The Schism gave one last screech before falling to the ground, convulsing as it slowly died. Alex looked down at his brother, who was shaking uncontrollably in his arms, tears running down his face. "You alright buddy?" He whispered to his brother in a soothing manner, rubbing circles into his brothers back as he hiccupped and hid his face in the elder's chest.

"Keep your wits about you, boy."

Alex looked up and his eyes widened as Travis pulled a pistol from his back pocket and shot a bullet straight at him. Alex could hear the bullet whiz by his head, and implant itself in something fleshy behind him eliciting a wail that sounded like a sick and dying animal. Alex turned around and saw what he could only describe as a skinned cow with bloody stubby legs fall not two inches behind him, a bullet right between its eyes. Alex looked over to Travis, a look of complete shock on his face. "Travis, what the hell was THAT? I've never seen that thing before... and my radio didn't even go off!" Alex asked as he held his brother closer to console him.

Travis sighed, and pulled out his radio, which slowly died out as the monster took his last breath. "Damn Carrions (2) little fuckers didn't trigger your radio because you didn't manifest them here... I did." He said as he tucked the radio into his front pocket. "These things have been chasing me since I used the mirror to get outta here. Now that your brother there has broken the rules, I figure that no matter who manifested them, they're gonna be primarily targeting Josh." He said lamely as he scratched the back of his head.

Travis walked over to the brothers, and gave Alex his gun "Look soldier, that kid looks like he's not doin' too well. I think you're better off holdin onto him, so I'll do all the close quarters fighting till he feels better alright?" Travis said with a smirk. Alex nodded and scooped Josh up with one hand, letting the younger sibling hold onto his neck like a lifeline. Travis went to a nearby building, and kicked a steel pipe off of the plumbing on the side. The trucker grunted as he picked it up, and gave it a few practice swings before giving Alex a thumbs-up and a devilish grin. Alex smiled sheepishly before hearing his radio screech on.

"Alex, you there?" Wheeler asked hastily through the static. Alex clicked on the radio "Yea, I'm here Wheeler, you guys doing alright?" Alex asked concerned because the radio was breaking up bad. "No-eealy, there-Siams(3) chasing the car-need to find you Alex whe-you?" Alex furrowed his brows. "Where am I? I'm at the docks. Listen, I found a friend and my brother, can you come over here Wheeler?" Alex asked loudly, trying to articulate as much as possible.

*Static*

"Damn it," Alex scoffed as he tucked the radio back in his pocket. "I hope Elle and Wheeler get out of there okay." Josh perked up at the name, before looking up weakly at Alex "Elle? Elle's in this town?" He asked his older brother timidly. Alex smiled down at him, "Yea, she's here Josh. I'm sure she'll be happy to see you, I wouldn't be surprised if she flipped." He laughed lightly. Josh nodded numbly, and hid his face back in the crook of Alex's neck.

Travis' Radio began to go through static. Alex and Travis turned and saw another Carrion, only this one was much bigger. Alex backed up, and shot it in the face, while Travis ran forward and sideswiped the mutilated animal in the head, effectively crippling it. They looked at each other laughing a bit, "We make a good team don't we soldier?" Travis said as he fixed his cap. Alex nodded, moving so Josh could rest better.

Not a second after their exchange, a car skidded onto the docks, and flipped over, landing a few feet away from the trio. Travis and Alex stared at the car in shock, seeing as the car could've taken off their heads had it been sailing a few feet lower. A few moments later, a leather shoed foot kicked the door open and out crawled a very pissed-off looking Wheeler and a slightly dazed Elle. Wheeler huffed at Alex. "Boy, what the hell did you do? One second we're fine, the next second sirens are goin off, the fuckin' roads re-deteriorate, and four of those freaking Siam things are chasin after my car! What did you do to piss off the town so bad?!" Wheeler asked in a frustrated manner.

"Josh?"

Wheeler, Alex, and Travis turned and looked at the blonde, who was staring in disbelief at the timid boy in Alex's arms. Immediately she ran to him, and pulled him from Alex's grasp, squeezing him in a tight hug and giggling as she twirled him around. "You're okay!" the blonde said in complete glee. After a good thirty seconds of spinning she put him down and kneeled in front of him smiling. "Alex finally found you, huh? Where have you been hiding this whole time, hmm?" She asked airily as she held the younger Shepherd's hands. Josh looked away from her, guilt betraying him in his eyes. Elle looked at Josh confused, "Josh, what's wrong honey? Did something happen while we were all away?" Josh looked back at Elle guiltily. "Elle, I'm not-"

"He's just been lonely for a long time, Elle" Alex chimed. Josh turned and looked at Alex in shock, Alex smiled warmly down at his younger brother "You were lonely all by yourself weren't you buddy? You told me when I found you that all you wanted was to go home, and that you missed your friends, and Mom and Dad and Elle and I... Isn't that right, Josh?" Alex asked his brother with a knowing smile. Elle looked back at Josh, her maternal instincts taking over at Alex's words, "Well you don't have to worry about being lonely anymore okay, Josh? Once we find a way out of here then we'll all go home, and we can all have fun together okay? You me and Alex..." She said as she stroked the boy's hair.

Josh felt tears pricking at the back of his eyes as he nodded, moving forward and crying in Elle's arms. The blonde just held Josh and pet his hair like a mother would, hushing him and soothingly telling him it was okay. Alex was happy that this Josh was starting to accept that there were going to be people who cared for him, and would take care of him. The boy still didn't seem very trusting, and probably still felt like this whole ordeal was hopeless, but Alex didn't want to let his brother down again.

Wheeler scratched the back of his head "Well, what are we gonna do now? The roads are all effed up, and we don't have a boat so we can't go back to Shepherd's Glen, even though the fuggin' place is probably all screwy like this place is." The cop looked up at Travis, "What do you think newbie? Got any thoughts on how to get the hell out of this place?" Wheeler asked the Trucker in an I'm-completely-out-of-any-other-options manner. Travis looked about "Well, I know a bit about this cult. Did a bit of light reading on it when I was younger. I'd say the best thing we could do is search for clues on any of the cult's secret teachings, and see if they have anything that gives us a hint on how to get the hell outta here." Wheeler sighed, "Man with a game plan, at least that's one less thing I gotta worry about."

So the two of them watched and waited for the three to finish their reunion, merely basking in the only good thing that happened since the sirens sounded

--------

Okie, since the monsters in these games are so....Intricate I shall call them by name and give you a brief visual of them down here.

1.)Schism- Those friggin' hammerhead shark monsters that have brown penises or whatever that Alex meets in the police station when he first partners up with Wheeler. The left arm is all stoopid and twisted and broken, while the right one is normal, and seems to motion toward you.

2.)Carrion-Monsters from Silent Hill Origins that look like skinned cows that have bad back problems and stubby little bloody legs. They seriously make the most annoying sound, and their tongues hang out of their mouth. I read somewhere that they represent Travis' guilt for running over animals on the road.

3.)Siam- That big, Hulking monster with fleshy arms and a straight jacket on with buckles and a woman with stillettos on his back. They're really hard to kill... I mean really REALLY hard to kill.

anyway, hope you liked, I wrote it while writing an english paper on Beowulf.
