Author's Note: Nothing really, Just enjoy this chapter.

Current Time – 11:30 am

"Thanks a lot for the ride Mr. Mason." I said as I got in the car.

"No Problem." Mr. Mason replied.

I was in the passenger seat of the car of a friend of mine, Harry Mason. We've been friends since he moved into town. In the backseat was his daughter, Little Heather (she looked about seven years old). Harry Mason...I'll heard a few rumors about this guy, But, I think they are all fake, Mr. Mason isn't really a bad guy. There's been rumors going around that he once killed a man from some cult.

"Daddy, where are we going?", Little Heather asked

Mr. Mason replied, "Nowhere honey, we're just dropping off my friend here."

"Okay." Little Heather said.

That's what I adore about little children. Their childhood innocence. Anyway, As Harry was driving, I explained to him about the dream I keep having. I told him about the apartments, the monsters, the rooms, and that "world". I especially told him what happened when I arrived to room 35. During my explanation, Heather and Harry were both listening.

"I forgot to mention that I had this same dream for about four nights. I always wake up the same way...in a cold sweat and the sound of my alarm clock going off. And because I keep having this dream...it feels like...Silent Hill is "calling" to me."

"That seems reasonable. If your going to Silent Hill, you might need a gun."

"A gun? Where could I get a gun?"

"In the glove compartment"

I opened up the glove compartment. Inside just like Harry had implied was a pistol...A Beretta like the one in my dream...

"Mr. Mason...How did you get a gun?"

"Long Story short, a friend gave it to me. Would you like to take it?"

"..."

I don't know what to say. I mean damn, a pistol? But then again, I might need it in case I face those monsters in my dream in reality.

"Ok, Mr. Mason. Thanks...I guess."

I took the pistol and hid it in my jacket's inner pocket. Hidden and out of sight. My knife was also in the same pocket; the blade wasn't exposed.

"I see that you also brought along your flashlight. That's a good idea."

My flashlight was in my breast pocket. The batteries were brand-new and should last a long time. For the rest of the drive, The conversation was reduced to small talk. Soon, Harry pulled over in a gas station and diner. Harry told me that Silent Hill was just a mile away to the north and that this is as close to Silent Hill as he was willing to go. I thanked him for ride.

"Bye Nick. Good luck." Little Heather said as she was waving bye to me.

"Bye Heather, Thank you."

The car drove off as I waved. I might as well stop at the diner. Get some information on Silent Hill if I could. I entered the diner and noticed that the diner was mostly empty save for stuff members and a single lady (she looked about three years older then me) sitting at a table drinking a cup of Coffee and reading some newspapers. I went up to the hostess and asked for a seat. I was taken to a single seat, then I ordered a single soda.

The soda soon arrived and I took one sip and asked, "Do any of you guys know anything about Silent Hill? The town that's near here." I might as well had fired my gun towards the roof because after I asked that question, everyone went quiet.

The cook stopped cooking and said, "Boy, we don't mention that town in this diner."

The hostess said, "If you want information about that town, then you better be turning back and going home."

Everyone else, then, went about their own business. I guess I won't get information about the town from here. Then, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw that it was the lady that was drinking the coffee.

I never really took notice of her until now. She was slightly below my height. She wore a green coat, jeans, and a white tank top under the jacket. She also has dirty blonde hair. And her eyes were a rich shade of green.

"What?" I asked.

"I noticed that you want information about Silent Hill...Come to my table." She said. I did as she said.

As soon as I sat down, she said, "My name is Lana. What do you want to know about Silent Hill? I once lived there when that town was normal, but I moved."

"Ok first of all, Name's Nicholas, but people call me Nick. Second, Before I ask, your gonna need to hear about this dream I keep having..." So, I told her about the dream. As I was telling her the dream, She looked pretty interested in my dream.

As I finished, She looked a little surprised. Then, she said, "Wow." She was breathless.

Then I asked, "Is Silent Hill like that? Like my dream?"

She replied, "Yeah, pretty much. Nobody goes to Silent Hill anymore."

"Anyways, what else do you want to know about the town?"

"Well, what happened in that town?"

She went into this long explanation about this girl named Alessa Gillespie. How she was burned alive, how her classmates treated her, and her unloving mom. I remember hearing about this on the news on TV before. I also heard that a man once disappeared when he entered the town a few months ago; never to be seen again. She said that the town has been the way it is now since Alessa was burned alive.

She finished off by saying, "Anything else?"

"No,Thanks for your help."

"Are you still going to the town?"

"Yeah, this dream I told you about keeps on coming up. I don't think it's gonna stop till I visit the town."

"In that case, Good luck." Then, She went back to her coffee and her newspaper.

As I was about to leave, I paid for my soda and said thanks to the hostess. Then, she stopped me and said, "Good luck with Silent Hill"

"Thanks." I replied.

I left the diner. I checked my watch and noticed it was now 2:30. Was I really in there for that long? I guess time flies when your learning about Silent Hill. I guess I might as well start my walk towards Silent Hill.

Timeskip: 15 minutes later...

I was about halfway towards Silent Hill. I was walking for about fifteen minutes when fog started to roll in. Then, I heard heavy footsteps just ahead of me. The footsteps stopped then they continued again, this time they got louder and louder. Until, I saw what was the source of the footsteps. It was a monster from my dream...the one that was armless, had a female figure, and was covered in glass shards.

The monster ran towards me as I drew my knife. The monster then head-bonks me. With it's face covered in the shards, it only hurt more! So, I started to slash him with my knife. Eventually, the beast died.

Falling on the ground, The beast's body started to twitch. Then, it lets out a muffled scream. It looked kinda creepy the way it was twitching and screaming. So, I put it out of it's misery by stomping on it. The stomp was what ultimately killed it.

If this creature is gonna be what to be expected from Silent Hill (and more), then I should be prepared...

Author's Note: I wasn't sure if I should have had Harry appear because I wasn't sure where Harry was around this time. But, I just added him in.

And the man that disappeared that Nick mentioned is, in fact, James. I'm going by the "In Water" ending.

In Silent Hill 1, Harry doesn't get a Beretta. So, I changed it to reflect Nick's Dream.

That is all, so see ya next time when Nick arrives to Silent Hill where the real story will begin.
