My Adventures in Silent Hill

Chapter 2

"This sucks ass…." I whined.

"How old are you?"

"Meh, almost 24. You?"

"29."

Well…maybe I could have a chance. Damn me and my fantasies! I thought. "Huh…anyway, who are we looking for?"

All of a sudden, the same creatures from before appeared out of the fog, surrounding us. There were at least 4 of them.

James and I were back to back. "Uh, what now?" I ask.

"Be careful." He said.

"Yeah, Miss-I'm- Prone- to-Hurting-Myself-at-least-once-a-day." I muttered. I looked for any weapon I could find, even a stick would help. Then, I spotted a pipe just past the creatures. Without thinking twice, I bolted for the pipe.

"Hey, where are you going?"

I let myself drop as the creatures slowly turned to me and while sliding, I grabbed the pipe, rolled and stood up.

"Yay, you found a weapon." James said sarcastically as the other two creatures advanced on him.

"It's better than nothing." I said and slowly backed away as two of the creatures came towards me. Suddenly, one of them had an opening in its chest and spuid black liquid at me. I ducked and it hit the tree behind me. I looked and it looked like acid, it was eating away the tree. "Eww…." I turned my attention back to the creatures.

One of them was right in my face and with a yell; I swung the pipe and hit it right across its head. Using my lame moves, I managed to beat both of them. Breathing heavily, I turned towards James, who had beaten his two creatures. "Ha! I'm not so weak after all!"

"Let's just get out of here before more appear."

I gave a fake salute. "Aye, aye captain."

We continued walking along until we saw a young girl with black hair. She wore red trousers and a white turtleneck. "Hey!" I shouted over at her.

The girl saw us and her eyes widened as James and I walked over. She appeared to be my age or a year older. "Ha, finally found someone…alive at least." I say.

"Who are you two?" the girl asks.

"I'm Shell and this is James." I answered. "And your name is?"

"Angela Orosco. I came to Silent Hill to look for my mother." The girl answered. "She just…..disappeared. Why are you two here?"

"Um…I have no idea how I got here." I reply. "I think….I was brought here or sumthin' like that."

"I came looking for my….wife." James answered, leaving out 'dead'. I can understand that. Who would believe someone is looking for a dead loved one?

"Well…..I hope you find your wife then James." Angela says. "Anyway, I should get looking for my mother."

"Do you want to travel with us?" I ask.

"No, but thanks for the offer." She said and then vanished into the fog.

I got that feeling that I was being stared at and I glanced over at James, who was staring at me. "What?" I crossed my arms over my chest. "I was trying to be nice."

"…..I know." He sighed. "Let's just….go."

Mm, poor guy. I feel kinda sorry for him. I thought sadly.

…

"God….I wanna go home." I muttered. "This town is freaking creepy."

"You said it." James said. "Do you know what time it is?"

I looked at the watch on my left wrist.

7:34 p.m.

"7:34 p.m. But I don't understand….shouldn't the sky be dark?"

"This town has changed so much since I was last here…with Mary." He sighed. "This was our….special place…."

I yawned and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. I was tired as hell. "Maybe we should find someplace to sleep….." I shivered, rubbing my arms. "And someplace warm."

"I think you're right….." he looked around and then pointed towards some apartments. "We can stay there for tonight."

And so we entered the apartment complex and James shined his flashlight, since it was semi-dark. There were still some lights, but very few and they flickered.

"Oh yeah, we should be safe here." I said sarcastically and shivered.

"Calm down. It's better than nothing and its you who suggested it."

Me and my big fat mouth. I thought miserably.

We chose the nearest room, which had a queen bed with enough room for both of us. It didn't seem as dirty as I thought it was gonna be.

"Thank g-god." I shuddered and laid down on the right side with me facing the wall. I felt James lie on the other side.

I guess I should've worn something warmer, because I shivered again. I felt movement on the other side. "Are you cold?"

"I'm f-fine." I said through a strained voice and shivered once again.

I heard him sigh and then felt movement. And an arm went over me. My eyes widened as I was pulled close to a muscular chest. "Um…w-what are you doing?"

"You'll stay warm this way." He answered.

I blushed furiously. "B-but this….is…awkward…."

"Never done this before?"

"N-no. I don't see how that's your business." I said quietly. Although I will admit, I was starting to warm up with James right there.

"Hm, alright. Sorry I asked."

I sighed deeply and closed my eyes. "Yeah….I'm sorry too…..I just don't like talking about…stuff like that."

"I understand Shell. Just try to sleep."

Soon afterwards, I fell into a blissful sleep.

….

"Mm….god, what did I eat last night….?" I muttered and snuggled up to my soft pillow. I then heard a slight grunt and something muscular slightly tightened around me.

Wait….pillows don't grunt…..and neither do they have arms.

My eyes flew open and I was staring at a neck. I then remembered and sighed in relief. So it wasn't a dream…..although I do find this….quite…oh jeez. I gotta stop with those thoughts.

I was able to move my arm and I looked at my watch. 8:12 a.m.

I sighed. Might as well get up, I have to find a way to get home.

With a small groan, I sat up and scratched the back of my head, yawning. I looked down at the sleeping James and realized how weak and peaceful he looked in his sleep.

"Mary…." He mumbled in his sleep.

I sighed and unlocked his arms from my waist and jumped out of bed, cracking my stiff bones. "Ah….much better…." I then turned to James and gently shook his shoulder. "James, wake up."

He suddenly sat up with a yell, breathing heavily. "Bad dream?" I ask.

He sighed, putting a hand over his eyes. "Yeah…..when Mary died…."

I rolled my eyes. "Anyway, we should get a move on. I wanna find a way to get home."

"Yeah…..let's go."
