Chapter 14: Boat ride to Silent Hill.
A moment later, I opened my eyes andthe whole house was normal. I smiled with excitement. I looked out the window and it wasn't raining anymore. I noticed that James was awake and he was stretching. I grinned from ear to ear.
"James, you're alive!" I said happily.
"Well yeah, what the hell happened?" asked James scratching his head.
"I'll explain later," I said. "Come on, we need to finish getting our weapons."
I ran upstairs to get my cellphone, another flashlight and another back pack. I ran back downstairs and met with James in the basement. I grabbed the extra belt and tossed it to James.
We loaded our guns and placed them in each of the four holsters. The rest of the ammo will be in my bag along with water and a first aid- kit. The other weapons I had like the steel pipe, axe and dagger; I decided to take in case I ran out of ammo. Then I found my radio. I totally forgot about this! I took the old batteries out of my flashlight and the talkie, and replaced it with new ones. I brought another flashlight and some batteries in case. Last but not least, I grabbed mine and Erika's photo album. While getting ready, I heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it since I am kind of ready," I said.
"Okay," said James. "I'll meet you outside.
I opened the front door to see my friend that went missing in the sewers earlier, worried sick. I stepped outside with her.
"Elle," I said. "Are you okay?"
"Yes I am, Alex," said Elle hugging me. "But my mother went missing."
I was quiet because my mom and Joshua went missing. Though I have a clue where they went.
"Silent Hill," I said. "I know they are there."
"Where is Joshua and your mom?" asked Elle.
"They were kidnapped by the order," I replied. "I promise you and everyone that I'll find them and return them home safely."
I grabbed my talkie, contacting Wheeler.
"Hey Wheeler," said Alex.
"Alex," said Wheeler. "I'm glad you called."
"Well I'm glad to hear that your fine, but I need you to do something for me," I said.
"Anything," said Wheeler.
"Can you get us a boat to Silent Hill?" I asked.
"Yeah," replied Wheeler.
"Okay then, we're going to Silent Hill," I said.
James walked outside, ready with his equipment.
"Ready," said James. "Oh, hey Elle."
Elle waved at James.
"Good, we're going to Silent Hill," I said.
James frowned.
"No not like last time that happened," said James.
I pulled my uncle side.
"Please," I begged. "For me, Erika and my family," I said. "I need help and I don't want to die at age twenty two."
"Fine," said James. "I'll do it for the family and I want to do it cause I am board."
Boat to Silent Hill…
"You never told me what happened, Alex," informed James.
"Oh yeah," I said. "Sorry about that." "The Order came kidnapping mom and Joshua." "Then one of them hit me with a pipe and shot you and Joshua with a poison dart."
"Oh," said James. "What else?"
"Then the house transformed into hell and I had to solve four puzzles," I said.
Elle smirked and James shook his head.
"Anyways," said Elle. "Have you found any clue yet?"
I took my backpack off and took the photo album out.
"See for yourself," I informed.
Elle flipped through the book of pictures.
"Impressive," she commented. "Her drawings are so real, I am actually terrified."
"Those monsters are real," stated James. "Be careful."
"I will," said Elle.
"I met all of them except the Barbie Doll," I said. "I wonder where she is hiding."
"Maybe in Silent Hill," suggested James. "That's where they all hide."
"I'm sorry about your sister," said Elle changing the conversation. "I feel bad."
"It's fine," I said. "But I don't know about my sister anymore."
I frowned and turned my head to the side. This is hurting me real badly just thinking about my sister. The same question pops into my head: 'What did I do wrong?'
"Why say that?" asked Elle.
"I honestly don't know," I replied. "Erika was happy depressed and now she is being stuck up and ignorant for no reason."
"Did you do or say something to her that offended her?" asked Elle.
"No," I replied. "She just said she forgives me."
"Weird," said James getting in the conversation.
I nodded.
"How was Nora before she disappeared?" I asked.
"The same," replied Elle. "A big fanatic of Alice in Wonderland."
I smirked.
"I'm sorry she disappeared," I said. "She was a great girl."
"It's fine and I hope to find her soon," said Elle.
"So Alex," said Wheeler. "Why are you heading to Silent Hill?"
"I have this feeling that my sister is there and so is everybody else," I replied.
"I had a friend who went there," said Wheeler. "They found her bike on the side of the road."
"Did she ever make it?" asked James.
"I think so," said Wheeler. "Who knows?"
"God," I said sotto.
"Any who," said Elle. "If both our sisters ever made it through the trouble, I can tell that they would be great friends."
"Yeah," I agreed. "Erika's only two friends are her nurse and her doctor's son."
Elle reached for her neck, taking off a necklace. Not just any necklace, a locket. As Elle opened it, there were two pictures of Elle and Nora.
"This was Nora's until she disappeared," said Elle. "I secretly took it from my mother and kept it." "Nora was the only one that I had faith in and cared."
I examined the pictures. I was speechless because Elle was going through the same I was. Sisterless.
"Pretty girl," I said.
I gave the locket back to Elle, who put it on.
"Hey Alex," said Wheeler. "I see a boating house, we're almost there."
"That's great," I said standing up. "How much longer?"
"About seven minutes," said Wheeler.
As I was talking to Wheeler, I heard Elle screaming and James yelling. Wheeler and I turned around and saw that the Order members were kidnapping my friend and uncle. Elle was already on the other boat with a sac over her head and James was knocked into the water. I hope that he doesn't drown.
"Hey!" I called out. "Leave her alone!"
I took my backpack off and went after the Orders with Wheeler. An Order got Wheeler unconscious with a poison dart and the man shot me in my shoulder with the poison dart as well.
