Alchemilla Hospital

---

Alex backed away with his brother behind him, grabbing the shotgun from the floor and pointing it at the blonde nurse in front of them. The nurse stopped and twitched her head to the side, a look of confusion on her face as she reached toward them. Alex batted her hand away harshly with the barrel of the gun. "Don't you come any closer or I'll blow your brains out!" Alex said as he cocked the gun. Josh looked at her from behind his brother curiously. The younger Shepherd watched her eyes furrow in confusion, and realization dawned on him as she began to move toward them again. Seeing her come threateningly close, Alex moved to shoot.

"Alex, no!" Josh yelled as he ran out from behind him and hugged the girl around the waist. Alex faltered and shot the ground by their feet before falling to his knees "Christ Josh I almost shot you!" Alex screamed to the floor, his eyes screwed shut and the gun trembling in his hands. The shot brought Travis back to reality, and he watched in mild fascination at the scene before him.

Lisa looked a bit shocked as she looked down at the small boy who was attached to her waist. Her doll like smile became more kind, and she knelt down in front of the boy. "Well now, seems like your just like me... what's your story hmm?" She giggled eerily before gasping a bit "Oh, you poor thing, you have a cut on your hand..." she said as she grabbed Josh's wrist and inspected the scrape. The blonde let her grin spread wide, "Well, this is easy to fix." She said matter of fact as she pulled a handkerchief from her pocket, and wrapped the wound easily. "There, all betterrrr" she said proudly while stifling a fit of laughter.

Josh turned to his brother, who was still in a bit of shock. The damp Shepherd walked timidly over to his brother, and tugged gently at his jacket. Alex looked up at him, his brows still furrowed in frustration. Josh looked away shyly "U-um... Lisa isn't a bad person... I can tell she doesn't wanna hurt us okay...? Don't try to shoot her, she's just a bit strange cuz she doesn't have anyone to hold her memory..."

The blonde pouted, "I do too! Harry has been really nice to me now that he's back!" she said haughtily as she crossed her arms. Travis looked up at the blonde. "Harry Mason? The one who found Allessa's other half?" Travis asked warily. Lisa nodded "Yup! He was scared of me at first..." Lisa looked down sadly, before looking up with a bright smile "But when he came back he was really confused and stuff, now he's just like me and we're good friends!" The blonde chirped happily as she clapped her hands together.

Travis turned to Alex "Hey, maybe we should go see the guy, he may know something about the cult... This could be the lead we need." The trucker whispered to the ruffled elder Shepherd. Alex nodded "Yea, we may find exactly what we're looking for from this guy." Alex looked up to the blonde who was still ranting about Harry and how sweet he was with his new glasses. "Umm, Lisa... Can you take us to see Harry? We're a bit lost and wanna ask him a few things." Alex asked shyly, scratching the back of his head as he watched the girl stare blankly at him when he finished his request, as if trying to process the information.

Joshua walked up to Lisa and tugged at her blouse "Please Lisa? It would help me out a lot..." Josh asked in a slightly pleading tone. Lisa smiled down at him, giggling a bit "Well, if it will help you out little one, then sure! I'm sure Harry wont mind, it's been a while since the three of us had company..." She beamed as she grabbed Josh's hand and led him out of the room. Travis and Alex hurried behind her, the two of them looking at her with a confused glance. "Three? I thought it was just you and Harry..." Alex thought aloud.

Lisa turned and smiled at the elder "Well, there's one more that likes to hang around Harry, he's really quiet and doesn't talk much so I tend to forget about him allot, but you can meet him when we get there!" Lisa chirped as she put a spring in her step, now almost skipping to the exit of the hospital, near dragging the young boy with her as he picked up the pace slightly to keep from falling.

Alex and Travis walked a little behind her, watching her every move. Travis sighed "I know Josh trusts her, but she's still got a bit of an air about her... We should keep our eyes on her just in case." Alex nodded eyeing the girl's every action. "Don't worry, she so much as lifts a finger to hurt Josh she's getting a bullet in her brain." He said protectively as he watched his brother get dragged about.

so they exited the hospital, and made their way out into the streets of Silent HIll

South Vale Cemetery

----

When Elle and Wheeler finally hit land, it was no where near their desired location. Wheeler huffed "girl I told you that map was no good, now look where we are, in a god damn cemetery... This shit aint good. We got enough to worry about without having to worry about creepy crawlies commin up from their grave or something." Elle pouted, ''Sorry Wheeler, bit it's the only map I have, besides its not like we knew where we were going anyway, there was no way we would've made it in that fog without the devils luck, and I'm not so sure I want that kind of luck on me right now." The blonde said as she pulled the duffel full of weapons out of the boat. Which was now beached on the shore.

Wheeler sighed as he looked about the cemetery. Everything seemed fine, no danger seemed to be lurking about here. It was a completely normal cemetery, you know save for the fact that it was dark and foggy and there were probably monsters up the way. Elle began walking about, a sense of wonder in her eyes. "This is just plain eerie isn't it? I mean it feels like something out of those old zombie films..." The blonde noted as she walked about, looking around and grimacing at a dead tree. Wheeler glared at the blonde, who was now just a silhouette from the fog, "Girl be careful now, don't stray too far and watch where you're going." He warned her, not wanting the girl to fall victim to a monster in hiding. She laughed at the mans cautiousness, "C'mon Wheeler, just look at this place, it seriously feels like zombies are just gonna start popping out of the ground after digging out of there graves-"

The blonde plummeted, completely eating her words.

Hearing the shriek, Wheeler bolted in her direction, stopping when he reached a grave that had been completely dug up, Elle being at the bottom of the six foot hole in the ground. The blonde rubbed the back of her head, wincing as her hand ran over a sore spot. "What the heck?! What's a grave doing open like this, it's dangerous!" She said aloud, pouting as she rested her head on the dirt wall. Wheeler stared down at her "Hey kid, you okay? Looks like you took a nasty fall." The deputy asked, his brow furrowed in worry. Elle smiled up at him, giving him a thumbs up "Yea, I'm fine! I just hit my head on the way down, nothing to be worried about though!" As to prove her point, Elle got up, and tossed the duffle bag of weapons out of the hole, and moved to climb out. After slipping a few times, and finally accepting Wheeler's hand for help the blonde made it out of the hole.

After helping the blonde safely out, Wheeler inspected the said hole "Hmm, I'm no expert on grave diggin' but this looks strange..." The deputy said as he circled the hole. Elle looked up at him in confusion "What do you mean? Looks like any old hole you would dig for a grave... maybe a bit deep, but still the same..." She said as she dusted the front of her shirt and pants, getting all the loose dirt off of it. Wheeler shook his head "Look at the hole a bit closer Elle, the ground from the side of the hole is really loose, I've been to a few funerals, and when they dig these kinda holes they make sure the ground is packed on all sides... This hole looks like someone was digging up the grave..." Wheeler said as he inspected the hole further, "Also look at the bottom, it's coated in a thin layer of what looks like that finger print stuff that our forensics team uses to find clues... Though it looks like it's been coated for a while... There's hardly any trace of it even for the trained eye to see..." Wheeler noted as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Elle blew a stray hair out of her face, and looked at the gravestone, it was very dirty, making the name completely illegible. The blonde walked around the hole and reached toward it, brushing off the dirt that had caked on the stone and trying to reveal the letters. "W...Waler? Walten...? Walter...Walter Sulli..." The blonde pouted, as she rubbed at the letters, trying to get a name off the gravestone. She smiled as she got off all of the dirt, leaving the dilapidated lettering in full view. "Walter Sullivan!" She exclaimed, happy she could finally put a nametag on the hole that nearly killed her.

Wheeler turned to the girl in surprise "Walter Sullivan? You're kidding right?" the deputy said as he backed away from the hole. Elle looked up to him, cocking her head to the side in confusion at his fear "Yeah, that's what the gravestone says, you can come see for yourself." She said as she rose from the ground, raising an eyebrow at Wheelers odd behavior, "What's the matter? Your not one to get scared all that easily Wheeler." She noted as she put a hand to her hip, waiting for an explanation to his change in manner. Wheeler sighed, scratching the back of his head, "Girlie, you mean to tell me that you haven't once heard of the Walter Sullivan case?" The girl shook her head, "No I haven't... What happened?" She said as she walked toward Wheeler, her eyes shining with curiosity.

Wheeler kicked the dirt, "Well, about... What is it now, twelve years ago? Yeah, that's about right... Twelve years ago ten people were murdered, one a day. They each had the same MO, They were brutally murdered, had their hearts ripped out, and they had numbers carved on them somewhere going 01121, 02121, 03121, etcetera...." Wheeler said as he sighed. "After the murder of two twins, the murderer was caught, his name was Walter Sullivan. He was sentenced to death, but before he took the death sentence, he committed suicide with a spoon. His cell had a bunch o' drawings in it, and candles like some sort of ritual, and he had carved 11121 on himself."

Elle shivered "That's kinda creepy..." She said as she rubbed her arms with her hands. Wheeler stared her down, "That's not the end of it, apparently a good four years after he died, there was a murder that occurred, and the victim had 12121 carved on him. The victim wasn't missing his heart however, so the cops passed it off as a copycat... The big significance to the case was that the first ten victims had clues all over the place, but this time around, there was never any clues, it's almost like he had been killed by a ghost..." Wheeler smirked as her eyes became wide "Doesn't stop there, over the years a journalist began to chronicle the events, I loved reading his articles on the internet. He found out all this crap, like how Walter was a part of this crazy orphanage that was in an abandoned prison on the lake out north of here... He went missing after he speculated that the real Walter wasn't dead, and after he cracked the code on the numbers. Turns out the one in the middle is really a slash that means that there would be twenty one murders. He went missing shortly after this discovery and his body was found only a year ago. Seems he was victim 15 based on the code."

"Did he ever finish the murders?" Elle asked, now completely absorbed in the story. Wheeler looked down, "Yea, the last victim was murdered in his apartment... Poor bastard was sitting next to this red journal that chronicled the events of some hellish nightmare... They had to confirm it was him by his dental records..." Elle looked away sadly, "That's so sad... Does that mean there haven't been any more murders?" She asked quietly, now humbled down from the story. Wheeler sighed "No, but there's been all kinds of reports about the apartments he lives in bein haunted. There's been a bunch of accidents, and the superintendent committed suicide shortly after the incident..." Wheeler said forlornly.

Elle shook her head, "That's terrible...." She said before looking back at the grave. "...Anyway, we've wasted enough time here... We should get going." She said quickly, not wanting to be in the prescience of the grave any longer. Wheeler nodded, "Yea, but how do we get to the apartments? your map is crap, and we don't have any idea where we are..."

"Umm... I might be able to help you..."

Elle and Wheeler whipped their heads around in shock, and squinted in the fog, their eyes resting on a figure that was hiding behind the dead tree in the distance. She had black hair and dark eyes that seemed to pierce into your soul like a knife... The young girl shied away from their eyes, hiding more behind the tree. "Um... You're lost right? I can help you if you want..." She said shyly. Elle walked up to her, and put her hand on the girls shoulder, smiling kindly when she jumped at the contact. "Don't worry, are you scared of us? We won't hurt you..." the blonde said happily smiling down at the younger looking woman. Dark eyes looked up at Elle, nodding quickly, "O-okay mom... Ah, I'm sorry... I mean... What's your name?" The younger woman asked quietly.

The blonde's smile widened "I'm Elle Holloway, I'm from Shepherds Glenn." She said happily. The girl's dark eyes widened, "I'm from Shepherd's Glenn too... I knew a Holloway..." She said as she looked down "But that was a long time ago...." She said quietly. Elle brightened up, "Really? What's your name?" The girl looked up shyly, "It's... Angela... Orosco..." the dark haired girl said quietly, almost hesitant to add her last name. Elle smiled, "Oh, the Orosco family, you guys were my neighbors! You guys lived where I was till I was about nine... Mom said you guys all moved away ..." She smiled "I didn't know that someone around my age was living there!" She laughed as she hugged her. "See? We'll get along just fine." Elle beamed at the younger girl.

Angela nodded slowly, before looking away. "Um... Okay... Uh..." Angela looked up to Elle timidly, "Why... Why are you here? This town isn't safe... There's something wrong with it so it's not good to be walking around..." The brunette said quietly. Elle looked up, "Well, I'm here to find a way to help my friend. He's stuck here and I want to take him home..." Elle patted Angela on the back "What's your story? Why are you here?" The blond asked brightly. Angela looked away, "I was looking for my mother...But it's been so long since I've seen her... and I don't think she'll be very happy to see me..." The brunette said quietly as she looked away, a sadness in her eyes.

Elle empathized with her. "It's okay... I know how you feel. My mom stopped loving me a long time ago..." Elle said quietly, her blue eyes darkening. Angela stared at her for a while, before looking away, "I'm sorry... That must be hard..." Elle shook her head and smiled "It's okay, I deal with it." the blonde said with a smile "I'll help you find your mother if you help me find my way around, does that sound okay?" Elle asked brightly, Angela nodded. "Yeah... Alright."

"You two gonna be done with your little girl talk soon? This grave is still kinda freakin' me out."

The two girls looked over to Wheeler, who was standing a few feet away, his arms crossed and foot tapping, "Dunno what you guys are talking about, but could you hurry it up? We're wasting time here." Wheeler huffed. Angela moved behind Elle, holding onto the blondes arm and peering over her shoulder, "I don't like him..." She said with a hint of malice. Elle moved to rub the girls back, trying to release some of the tension, "Don't worry, Wheeler's a cop, he wouldn't hurt you. He's here to protect me, and he'll protect you so long as you're with me." the blonde said to Angela, trying to reassure her.

Angela looked up to Elle shyly "If I go with you, promise you won't leave me alone with him..." the brunette said, a pure fear in her eyes. Elle smiled kindly, "Don't worry, I won't leave you in a situation where you'll be uncomfortable... Just stick by me and you'll be okay, I promise." the blonde said airily. Angela nodded, and stayed hooked to Elle's left arm as they moved to join Wheeler, ready to head into the streets of South Vale.

Bloch St.

Alex sighed as he felled yet another Feral (1) that decided to run strait at him out of nowhere. Travis whistled "Nice shot soldier, gotta say you're keepin' your cool pretty well." The said Shepherd looked up at him with a tired look "I dunno how much longer I can keep this up, my nerves are shot as it is..." Alex looked up to Lisa, who was still fawning over his younger brother, coddling him to her chest. "Um, Lisa, how long till we get to where Harry is?" The elder Shepherd asked in exhaustion. Lisa sent him another doll like smile "Don't worry, we're here!" She said happily as she pointed to the large church they were standing in front of. "This is Balkan Church... Henry's here trying to find clues to his memory loss." Lisa said cheerily as she ran inside the church. Alex faltered when he saw the girl run inside, "W-Wait! Where inside the church is he?!"

The door slammed closed

Travis sighed "She always was a girl of impulse..." He said more to himself than to anyone else. Josh stared at the door quietly, before moving back to his brothers side. Alex felt relief wash over him the second he felt his brothers small hands clench the side of his jacket once again. The elder Shepherd felt that so long as Josh was by his side, he could protect him from anything. The two Shepherds watched as Travis tried to open the front doors. "What the hell? The doors are locked..." The trucker said in pure frustration as he kicked the doors.

Josh looked over the side of the old house of worship. There was what looked like the doors to a cellar on the side of the church. The younger Shepherd tugged on his brothers jacket, "Alex, maybe we can get in through there? Its locked, but the lock looks rusty enough to force open..." He said quietly. Alex looked over and smiled "Yeah, that looks perfect! Good eye Josh." The elder Shepherd said in elation as he ruffled his brothers hair. Travis smirked and walked over to the cellar doors, effectively busting the lock with a good stomp kick. When the trucker opened the doors, he saw stairway leading to... What seems like endless darkness.

Josh looked at the stairs warily, "It's like they go on forever..." the boy breathed as he looked at the dingy steps. Alex smiled, "Don't worry buddy, I'll make sure nothing hurts you." The elder said as he squeezed his brothers shoulder in reassurance. Travis nodded, "You guys don't have to worry about a thing. Everything'll be alright (*)" The trucker said confidently.

With that, the three set off down the stairs, flashlights on, and ready for anything.

Lol, I love Angela, and I think her Emo personality needs a bit of Elle's sunshine-ish demeanor. I know that her family probably lived in Silent Hill, but I wanted to make it so they had a sort of connection, otherwise I couldn't think of any reason for Angela to go with Elle, that and She hates men, so I had to think of something that would make Angela trust Elle at least to some extent... This was all I could think of really XD

This chapter is frikin long because I wanted to talk about Walter... he's my favorite antagonist of all of them just because of his obsession with his Mother. I swear, he's got the same complex that Wesker has with Chris in RE5... Only to a slightly lesser extent XD

Cookie for anyone who can figure out who Harry's quiet companion is :D

anyway the * was because I was singing that stupid song "Don't worry, about a thing, cuz EVERYLITTLETHING! is gonna be alright man!" XD

1.)Ferals-Umm, they come out in Homecoming, as these skinless dog things that sound like bobcats on occasion... X_x

well, hope to have the next chapter up soon, hope to have it up soon.
