Author's Note: This chapter will start as Nick enters the observation deck that has a view of Toluca Lake. The same that James was on at the very start of Silent Hill 2.

Current Time – 3:00 pm

The view of the lake looks incredible from this deck. I would have entered the town already, but I wanted to stop and check out the view. The view, anyways, was so nice. It looked like something that should be on a postcard and sent to someone you know so that they could admire this view as much as I was now. Not even the fog could block this view.

The dark tunnel that leads to town was open. So, after I was done admiring the view of the lake, I went though the tunnel. In the tunnel, I turned on my flashlight and saw that there was lots of cars that had crashed into each other. In front of the crash was a car; the doors of the cars were open and the headlights were on. I decided to investigate.

The car was a Volkswagen, I recognize the hood ornament anywhere. Inside the driver's seat was a note. There was a name at the bottom, but it was so smudged that the writing was unreadable. The actual note reads:

"Damn car pile-up, I guess I'm going to have to abandon the car and go on foot from here. I guess I should leave this note here, in case, someone comes by. I'm going to also have to bring my flashlight along with me, it's so dark and I can't see a thing! Wait...what is that sound I keep hearing?"

I guess I wasn't the only one who felt drawn to this town. I wonder who this car belongs to. And why they are here at this town. I put the note back down on the seat and left it there. The car didn't hold anything else worth noting or taking.

I had to go around the car pile-up by hugging the walls of the tunnel. On the other side of the pile-up were a bunch of cars. I'm guessing they were left behind by the owners who were forced to leave their vehicles because of the pile-up.

Moving on, I continued through the tunnel. After walking through the dark, I came across a big rig that blocked the rest of the tunnel. There wasn't a visible way around the truck. I looked around and noticed a maintenance door. I guess I have no other way to go, so I went through the door.

On the other side of the door, There wasn't much to take in. There was lots of trash on the floor. There was also a long, narrow maintenance tunnel that had pipes running along the walls. In front of me was table that had a notepad, a health drink, a pistol magazine, and a first aid on it. The first page on the notepad reads:

"In case I forget how to open the gate out of these tunnels, I should write down some hints that tells how to open said gate via the valves are close to the gate.

Only four of the valves has to be turned.

The first one to be turned is the far right valve

Each valve is labeled after a letter in the alphabet

The valves turned ultimately spells a certain four letter word

I copied down all the information that was on the notepad onto a separate note that I got from the notepad, so I could refer to it later when I reach the gate mentioned in the note. I also, of course, took the drink, the bullets, and the first aid kit. I walked through the tunnels and about five minutes into walking, I come across a few pipes that looked like it was ripped off the walls of the tunnel. All of the pipes were all messed up or in pieces. One of the pipes weren't. This steel pipe was in perfect condition, I decided to take it with me and use it as a weapon.

A little while later, I come across a monster. But this monster was like none I had yet encountered. This monster had a humanoid figure, Third-degree burns, and it only had one arm that was about twice the size of my own. The monster's face only had a mouth. The mouth was open as if it was letting out a muted scream.

The monster emitted some sort of groan. It had not yet notice me, the element of surprise was on my side. I quickly turned off my flashlight before it did notice me and snuck up behind it. Then, I started to beat it with my steel pipe. But I stopped after the first hit because after the strike was blown, it turned around to face me.

Face-to-face, the monster's skin started to emit heat. Soon, The monster was on fire. Not only did it start burning, the monster also started screaming, Filling the tunnel with it's loud scream. The scream was so loud that people from the next town over probably heard it. Me, unfortunately, being right in front of the beast made me cover my ears in a feeble attempt to block the scream.

After the beast stopped screaming, It started punching me with it's enlarged arm. I felt his arm making contact with my stomach, knocking the air out of me. I felt my back making contact with the wall. The monster started walking towards me (it, for some reason, was walking very slowly), I took out the pistol that Mr. Mason let me take and started firing it. The monster, after about 5 shots, lets out one final scream and fell down on the ground.

I dropped the gun on the ground. Everything was going faint. Everything was going dark. With the last of my strength, I turned on my flashlight. I'm surprised the beast didn't break it. Then, I saw no more.

Author's Note: Sorry, had to cut this chapter a little short. And on a cliffhanger no less.

Anyways, See ya next time.
