Silent Hill: Beacon Of Hope
Chapter Two
Several hours later, Amaris slowly awoke. The nagging pain across her head didn't go unnoticed.
She placed a shaky hand at where it hurt, uttering a moan under her breath. That would be sore for a while.
Her eyes searched around the car only to her horror that Darren and Joanna werrn't with her inside.
Not even their stuff was there which was kind of strange. A surge of panic filled her blood and bones.
Unclicking the seatbelt, Amaris opened the door and hopped out calling out their names only to hear her echo back.
Looking up above the sky, it was grey and something was falling down ever so slowly. A bit landed on her cheek.
She gathered it in her hands to her rising terror it was ash! No, she couldn't be there surely? Turning around, the sign pointed the truth.
"Welcome To Silent Hill". Shivers ran up and down her spine like a rushing waterfall, it was like she had finally answered Alessa's pleas.
Not believing it for a second, Amaris got back in the car and tried to turn on the engine which failed every single time. Giving up, she grabs her bag and hopped out of the car again.
Looking at the left of where they came from, the fog was so deep that she wouldn't dare go that way in case nothing was there.
Taking a very deep breath, Amaris headed foward on the search for her friends and perhaps solve this mystery that haunted her dreams.
Arriving at the barren town, Amaris looked all around her igorning the rising fear that was growing every five seconds.
This place was eeire and ever so silent, it chilled her bones and frozen her blood like ice. She couldn't imagine what happened here.
Suddenly she spots a rushing figure that was coming towards her at a alarming speed, it was too late to back or side away from it.
The figure collasped against Amaris as they landed on the ground with a thump, she looked up to see it was a woman with handcuffs.
"Who the hell are you?" She asked, steadily getting off Amaris though her eyes burned at the teenager with caution and wonder.
"I'm Amaris, who are you?" She replied, getting up and brushing off the dust that was on her clothes. "My name is Rose, follow me."
"There you are, godamnit!" Shouted a another woman's voice. Rose cursed under her breath, Amaris stared at her then to the woman who wore police clothing.
"Who are you and why are you in this craphole?" She asked, giving Rose a stern look at the same time. "I'm Amaris and why the hell are you here?" She replied.
"I'm officer Cybil Bennett and I don't like the tone of your voice, madam." Amaris stuck her tongue out at her which luckily Cybil didn't notice.
"You guys are coming with me, let's get out of here." The officer ordered, pushing them back from where Amaris came. "You can't leave here!" Cried out a another woman's voice.
"For crap's sake, who's talking now?" Amaris moaned, turning around to see a familer face before her. It was Dahila, Alessa's mother.
"You!" She pointed at Amaris, her long finger nails were a total gross out. "Why are you here? Stay away from Alessa! She dosen't need any help!" The woman wailed.
Rose and Cybil looked at the teenager with heavy frowns. "But then, why did she plead for me to come here?" Amaris asked, slowly coming towards Dahila.
"She let this town burn, she killed so many people. You don't know the nightmares that linger here." Dahila replied in a warning tone of voice.
Amaris dug out her drawing book from her bag and showed her the disturbing pictures she drew, seeing the woman's eyes widen was a starting point.
"What is your name, child?" Dahila asked, staring at the teenager. "Amaris." She replied. "Mmm, a unusual name indeed but you must leave now."
"I can't! Where are my friends?" She pleaded. For a few moments, a silence fell on the pair until the woman said only one word. "School" Then, she walked away.
Amaris turned to find Rose and Cybil still looking at her in pure horror. "Okay, please explain to me why that old hag knew you and why you did those drawings?" Cybil asked, placing her hands on her hips.
She quickly told and show them everything, then placed the book back in the bag. "I haven't seen the guy with the weird pyramid for his head, if I do I'll kick his ass!" She warned, digging out her gun.
"No! You musn't kill these creatures! If I'm here for a reason, then I must save them from this hell!" Amaris pleaded. "Do you think they have my daughter, Sharon?" Rose asked, holding her necklace.
With a brief nod of the head, the woman cursed once more under her breath. "Dahila said my friends are at a school, I'm going to go and find them. Meet me here on this spot, okay?" Amaris ordered.
"Oh sure, we just stay on this point and maybe get murdered by one of those ugly bastard looking things!" Cybil cried, rising her hands in the air. "Hey, calm down! We encountered them before." Rose said.
"What? You found some?" Amaris asked, looking straight at Rose. "Yes, they didn't have any arms and were oozing out some weird stuff." Rose explained, the painc was in her eyes.
"Right, then head to the nearest safe place you can find and I'll meet you there." Amaris demanded. The women nodded their heads and ran one way while Amaris set off to find the school.
