[Silent Hill] Waffles&ii

[Valkyrja]

â??You actually expect me to stay overnight at some supposed haunted town for only a hundred and fifty bucks? I think my life is worth just a bit more than that,â? Aimee Jade James mumbled as her dark blue eyes moved from the television set to Kelly, her best friend. They were college students, about halfway through their sophomore year. Aimee Jade was nineteen, Kelly was twenty. They became best friends the second they came to this school, having been put in the same dorm room in freshman year. At first they hated each other, but by the end of first semester they had already planned to room together for the rest of their college experience.

At the moment, they were lounging in their dorm, room 409. Two other people were in the room; Kellyâ??s boyfriend Sean was sitting on Kellyâ??s lap not really paying attention to anything but the television. Matthew, one of Seanâ??s best friends, was sitting on the floor leaning against Aimee Jadeâ??s bed, his glance shifting from each person in the room to the television as well. On the television was a news report of Silent Hill. Another child, approximately ten years old, went missing.

These missing child reports were starting to get overbearing. There was never any hint as to where they went. It was like they had disappeared into thin air. This is what gave the town of Silent Hill its reputation; the haunted town. Of course, to each their own beliefs and, quite frankly, Aimee Jade didnâ??t believe in any of it, even though the town began to plague her dreams. In fact, the other day while sitting in class she had some sort of flashback to a fiery pit in Silent Hill and she had to excuse herself from a test just to calm down. It was as if sheâ??d been to Silent Hill before, and it was calling for her to come back. But that wasnâ??t possible! She could remember almost her whole life perfectly, there was nothing to connect her to Silent Hillâ?¦right? But then again, her mind was fuzzy when it came to her birth all the way up to when she was about five. Most people at least remember certain things from when they were that young.

Sean cleared his throat, as if trying to get everybodyâ??s attention. â??You donâ??t think youâ??re worth a hundred and fifty? Well, not to Matt youâ??re not. Youâ??re worth billions.â? Sean laughed as Matthew grabbed a small stuffed plush that had fallen from Aimee Jadeâ??s bed and threw it at the boy, grunting.

â??Yoâ??, shut up man. Iâ??m not, like, in love with her.â? He rolled his eyes and slunk down a bit. It was obvious that both Aimee Jade and Matthew had some feelings towards each other that they had been dancing around ever since they met. â??Heyâ?¦how about this; Each of us give you like two hundred if you spend the night there?â?

Kelly practically interrupted him. â??Whoa, whoa, whoa! If thatâ??s the case, sheâ??s getting six hundred! I think it should be two hundred a night. If youâ??re willing to spend this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Silent Hill, alone, then youâ??ll get six hundred big ones.â?

Aimee Jade just rolled her eyes. â??Fine, whatever. I get to waste a nice weekend in some ghost town. But at least I get a good amount of cash out of it.â? She chuckled. â??Maybe once I come back alive, you guysâ??ll finally realize that Silent Hill is just an empty town, nothing more.â?

So that was it. For six hundred dollars Aimee Jade was going to spend the weekend in Silent Hill. Thinking nothing but money would come of it, Aimee Jade prepared for a boring weekend. Sheâ??d need a flashlight, her iPod, her cell phone, and of course some food. Throwing the contents, along with a small throw blanket, into a bag, she got ready to go and squeezed into Seanâ??s small car as he drove the four of them to Silent Hill.

It was a long drive, about six hours, and for over half of that time each person took their turn in trying to scare Aimee Jade. â??Youâ??ll die, youâ??ll be kidnapped,â? Theyâ??d go on saying, but Aimee Jade didnâ??t back down. It wasnâ??t that they were scared for Aimee Jadeâ??s life, it was that they didnâ??t want to have to give her so much money!

Finally arriving in Silent Hill, Matthew, Sean, and Kelly dropped Aimee Jade off. â??Weâ??ll be back here early Monday morning at around six to pick you up so you donâ??t miss any of your classes. If you need anything, just give us a call. But remember, if you bail out, youâ??re not getting any money!â? Each of them took the time to give Aimee Jade a hug, and then they left, Leaving Aimee Jade alone in Silent Hill.

The sun was high in the sky as Aimee Jade walked around. The backpack on her back seemed very heavy, and the long drive had worn her out. At this point, she wanted to find maybe a rundown motel or an empty house and set up camp for the weekend. She should be able to make herself at least somewhat comfortably for the duration of her stay. So when she finally stumbled upon a large hotel she went in and opened the heavy door, which in turn creaked back at her as if to warn her to stay away.

â??Pleaseâ?¦. No donâ??t leave me..â? cried the young boy as his voice was quickly overshadowed by the roaring cracking of the fire that ate at the building surrounding him. From the blazing red fire that danced behind him a dark shadow walked from out of the fire having no true shape or gender, but it was humanâ?¦ or was human. Slowly the shadow made its way behind the young boy talking its time before slowly reaching him and standing up straight. As the shadow moved behind the young boy he quickly turned to look at it before freezing in fear insight of it shaking from head to toe before eerily going still.

â??Thatâ??s rightâ?¦â? it whispered softly in a hiss that reminded one of a viper signaling the end for itâ??s pray. â??Come back and join us, little girl in pink..â? it continued each word etching themselves into her mind as he spoke. Slowly from the shadow moved a hand just out of sight, as it seemed to remain out of focus before slowly touching the young boyâ??s shoulder as a loud screeching noise overpowered everything before throwing everything into silence.

â??Pleaâ?¦seâ?¦â? whispered the young boy once again as he started to turn his head slowly blood dripping from the gapping hole which was once where his ear rested. â??Donâ??t leave me..â? as he continued to talk his words held a deep and almost horrifying tone to them. â??We are still friendsâ?¦â? finally more of his face was revealed as blood poured from his empty eye sockets and mouth dripping onto the floor, which was now a pool an inch thick of his blood. â??Right?â? once he spoke she could see the vocal cords in his throat slightly gushing out even more of his ruby red blood. Without warning he lashed out at her his mouth open wide as he screamed out a yell so full of anger and pain that it scent chills down oneâ??s spine that would never go away. This was Aimeeâ??s dream.. this was Aimeeâ??s never ending nightmare.

It felt the door opening stirring around as the bright light of sun washed its way into the main lobby of the hotel, which still showed burn marks of the fire that had once brought the building down to the ground. Trying to drag itself to its feet it kept on falling onto the ground squirming around wildly before attempting to stand up once again. Its arms struggled under the skin that covered them it movement seemed to be the one that would break away the skin, but none of those movements ever did. While it moved it kept out of sight only appearing as a slight flash of darkness, like a cat that ran past the cover of her eyes.. But this was much more deadly. Turning to face her it slightly bent over before the are where it mouth should have been started to open wide as it attempted to scream. The skin that covered its mouth started to rip slightly showing the black darkness of its insides as black liquid dripped down its chest.

A loud gunshot broke the silence as the bullet drove itself deep into the door only inches away from Aimeeâ??s head. Standing only a few feet away was the culprit as he held tightly onto a handgun his hands shaking wildly as he steered down at her. He stood at an unimpressive 5â??1 really skinny no more then 120 lbs. His chest was covered with a bulletproof vest, which was stained with blood on the outside and claw marks that didnâ??t coincided with any injury on the wearer.

â??Whoâ?¦whoâ?¦what..What are youâ?¦?â? the man screamed loudly as he trusted his handgun towards her obviously freaked out by something. Slowly walking towards her she was able to see that he wore a bright orange jump suit under the bulletproof vest with the words â??Prisoner 19802â? located on his left leg. â??Fuck.. fuck thatâ?¦ your bag.. Give it to me..â? he commanded her shoving the gun in her face as he stuck out his other hand before lunging forward and grabbing it braking the strap at he snatched it from her. â??You.. Better not follow me.. You understand.. If I see you I will kill you got it?â? he told her before shoving her with the gun once again. The thrust was that killing her would have been a waste of a bullet, and he new that such a mistake couldn't be made in this hell. He started to move backwards as he kept eye contact with her before turning around and then running off. Turning into a dark ally way he was quickly out of sight taking her stuff with him as well.

She was left without any of her equipment such as her Ipod, Cell phone, and flashlight standing in front of the charred remains of the hotel. From the area that the prisoner ran was a loud blood curtailing scream before a few shots ran out and then silence.

Now she was left with a choice. Go into the hotel without a flashlight, Ipod and other equipment, or go and check to see what happened that the robber by going down the long dark ally way.

[I just realized I forgot to describe what Aimee Jade looked like, haha. Iâ??ll throw that in here! Sorry!]
As the door creaked open, Aimee Jade poked her head inside, noticing all of the burnt furniture and walls. As the sun beamed in, it looked as if there were millions of bugs scattering around on the floor, trying to get away from the sunlight. Whether there were really bugs or if it was just Aimee Jadeâ??s mind playing tricks on her, she didnâ??t feel like chancing it. Maybe Iâ??ll just find another place to set up campâ?¦ she thought to herself, disgusted. Taking a step back, she suddenly felt a powerful gust of wind pass her thin, pale cheek before the cause of the wind slammed into the open door.

Aimee Jade let out a scream, realizing that someone had shot at her. Spinning around quickly, as if facing the culprit would help her, she rose her hands. The bright orange outfit that the prisoner was wearing seemed too bright with the sun bouncing off of it. Squinting her dark blue eyes, her full lips parted slightly. â??D-donâ??t hurt me,â? She started as he thrusted his handgun towards her. She let out a soft squeal, lowering her head as if trying to get away from the gun. Her dark crimson hair fell into her face, the waves surrounding her shoulders and falling to her mid back. â??Iâ??ll do what you say, just donâ??t hurt me!â?

As the prisoner told her to give him her bag, she started to take it off, but he beat her to the chase, grabbing it and ripping it from her back. When the straps snapped, one of them managed to cut into her black t-shirt, ripping the sleeve and leaving a dark red bruise on her milky white flesh. Looking towards him as he told her not to follow her, she just simply nodded. The man was very short, at least for a man, but in comparison to Aimee Jade, he was only an inch shorter than she was. Aimee Jade had always thought that it was her short height that made her so vulnerable, but now she knew she was obviously wrong.

Watching as the man in the orange jumpsuit ran off, she took a step back, once again standing in the doorway of the dark hotel. The loud scream and gunshots made Aimee Jade jump, and she went to take a step towards the alleyway before pausing and shaking her head. â??He almost killed meâ?¦why should I go after him.â? She thought out loud to herself. But even though she thought these thoughts, she still couldnâ??t tear herself from that spot. Part of her was telling her to go find that man, but the more dominant part of her told her to stay. So, after about half a minute of thinking, she finally turned around and stepped into the hotel.

It was dark, and where the sun beamed in, it was apparently very dusty. The door started closing but before it shut, Aimee Jade grabbed for it and quickly found a rock to prop it open with. The hotel was too dark to venture through, so maybe the sunlight would at least keep the front lobby lit upâ?¦at least until nightfall.

Aimee Jade began looking around, searching throughout the lobby to see if she could find any type of object to help her. At the front desk, she found a heavy black flashlight, but to her dismay the batteries had died. Sighing, she decided to hold onto it, just in case somebody else decided to come and rob her. At least sheâ??d be able to get a good hit out of it, maybe knock them unconscious for a few good minutes. Biting her bottom lip, Aimee Jade headed for what seemed like a comfortable couch in the middle of the room. Stretching out on it, she held the flashlight to her chest, her eyes scanning everything around her until she began to drift off to sleep. Only to have that terrible nightmare again.

 

[Waffles]

The day past quickly as it normally did in Silent Hill, as night rushed to take its rightful place over the dead city. Slowly the wind blew against the door that was held open by a rock causing a slight whistling noise before the door slowly and quietly shut close sealing Aimee Jade in the hotel. Almost like clock work the streets outside started to become occupied with a thick fog of smoke as it rolled around the side walk and crept into every ally way almost as if it was searching, stalking something. Clouds of the fog brushed against hotel building slowly making even seeing the sidewalk imposable as the sound of beating wings could be heard in the sky above. Inside of the hotel the screeching of gears could be heard coupled with what only could be described as industrial noise, her only hints of what was to come.

It started out softly, like a whisper. As time went by it grew building in strength as it covered the entire city of silent hill before finally making its way to the hotel. The siren was monstrous in sound blearing out loudly with it undeterminable noise as it demanded to be known. With its deafening howl of the sirens a slightly quieter noise started to join in, the sizzling sound of the walls around her starting to change as the wallpaper ripped over to reveal the rusted underbelly. Finally the sirens started to quiet down as the room around her completely changed itself.

No longer was she resting on a couch but rather a cold hard bench, which started to break under her weight as one leg flew across the floor. Hanger over her head now was a chandelier with all of the candles out and the cord that it was hanging by making a slight stretching noise as it threatened to let the large object go. The front door which she had entered was now bordered up as planks of wood where used to people from going threw it as well as the windows. Just past the lobby was a large staircase the lead to the seconded floor and in the center of the floor visible from where she was standing were the double doors of an elevator along with two long rows of door three doors on each side. From everything in this new room a slight stream of stem came from it.

Then slightly out of sight from where she laid on the same floor as her was a panting, unviable at such a distance but its size and stature made it stick out on the other wise empty walls.

Footsteps could be heard nearing her as the industrial noise continued giving the entire place a life of its own. On the lobby counter the large radio that state on it started to roar out silence as the footsteps started to near her slowly. Being completely surround in darkness she was unable to see what was around her, what was closing in on her.

The sound of something bumping a counter ringed out as the small 14 inch t..v. Located a few feet away from her turned on shined on her predator. It squirmed around wildly as it neared her slowly stumbling around slightly before gaining it composure and continuing it path towards her. Nearing her the Patient quickly launched out at her ready to attack.

 

[Valkyrja]

Her body was huddled in a strange curled position as she rested on the seemingly comfortable couch. Her head had tucked down, like she was in the fetal position, and her chin was resting on the cold glass of the flashlight. The room was a bit cold, but the little bit of sunlight poking through the door was warming the place up by at least two degrees. Of course, when the door closed, whether it was just the sunlight being taken away or something else, the room dropped in about ten degrees, leaving Aimee Jadeâ??s sleeping body shivering.

At first, as the industrial noise started, it worked into her dream. It was strange, haunting almost. Her dream consisted of a room filled with gears. Slowly they began turning, and she began searching the room, looking for what was turning them. For once, though, her dreamlike self was nineteen years old. This was quite different from the young girl in pink pajamas that usually plagued her dreams, obviously a younger self. The fact that she was older in this dream wouldnâ??t have been a big deal except for the fact that she never dreamed of herself at her age. Strangeâ?¦

Her frail body walked around the cold room, fog creeping up around her legs and slowly over her body. It felt like it was filling her lungs, making it hard to breathe; and then suddenly she heard a laugh. Looking around, her body spinning 360 degrees, she found the culprit.

It was a strange looking monster. At least, she thought it was a monster. At first she thought it was a strange shadow just moving on its own, that is until she saw the actual body of the thing. It was twitching and gurgling as it turned a few gears, its body looking like a humanâ??s except for the flesh, which appeared to have been completely ripped off. It had no eyes, but it could sense that Aimee Jade was behind it. An angry squeal came from what Aimee Jade could only assume was its mouth. Then, with a jolt, Aimee Jade was woken up, the squeal from the creature actually being the ringing throughout the streets.

She sat up quickly, accidentally smacking her chin against the flashlight. â??Ouch,â? She mumbled, gently pressing two fingers against her chin to make sure she hadnâ??t cut it. But her attention towards her own body was quickly dismissed as a crackling sound was heard throughout the building. Her eyes widened a bit more and before she could stand up she could actually feel the couch turning into a cold, hard bench.

Jumping up just as the bench broke, she then looked up at the rickety chandelier. Shaking her head in disbelief she took a few steps away from it, her footsteps echoing through the room and then being returned. Something was coming towards her. â??H-hello?â? She called out into the darkness, her grip on the flashlight tightening. Nothing responded. â??Is somebody there?!?â? She cried out, hoping to get a response. She was shortly interrupted by the radio, which blared out static, and she went to grab for her ears, as if covering them from the sound. And then she heard the bump just before the television turned on.

She screamed out, looking at the writhing thing which reminded her slightly of the creature in her dream. â??Stay away f-from me!â? She screamed at it, yet it came towards her and, once close enough, lunged. Crying out, she began flailing her arms out, the flashlight in one of them. Her eyes were shut tightly, as if protecting her from anything around her. Once she felt the flashlight bump into something, her eyes opened slightly. It had hit the creature square in the head and caused it to fall to the floor. Before it could get up, Aimee Jade made a run for it, not noticing anything around her except for the stairs and the elevator. She wasnâ??t going to change the elevator, it didnâ??t even look like it would work. So, she went for the stairs, sprinting up them as fast as her legs would let her.

 

[Waffles]

As she made her way up the staircase the steps behind her started to break, one by one they crumbled making it imposable for her to go back the way she came. Behind her on the lobby floor the patient started to swim around wildly on the floor as it attempted to continue chasing her to no successes. The second floor was designed to slightly over look the first before leading into four different directions which where lined with different apartments. Still screeching from the front desk was the radio as it bleared out loudly signaling that the patent downstairs was still alive. It seemed to remain directly in the middle of the floor swimming around wildly right in the path of the overhead chandelier.

Each four direction of the seconded floor seemed to look exactly like the others, as there were slight cracks in the floor and wall. On both the left and right side of her the floor was gone leaving nothing but a bottomless hole on ether side of her. Behind her was a long dark hallway where all the doors in it was bordered up or there lock was broken, except for two room â??116â? and the â??115â? as they where just locked.

In order to get to the northern side of the seconded floor she would have use the small bit of ground left on ether the right and left side of it. This was made slightly easer with the railing that, fore while the staircase was gone she could still use its railing as balance to get across, however if she fell she would fall into nothingness.

On the north side their was a elevator door as well as two doors, one being the stair case the other being the room â??101â?.

Behind her a light moaning sound could be heard as the two doors located behind her started to leak out a black liquid that slowly found its way into the middle of the little hallway. Forming a small pool of blood it started boil over before a long thin arm moved out of it stretching out before slamming onto the ground hard. Pushing on the ground a young girl looking creature started to pull itself out of the blood its head twisting at strange angels as it did as her long black hair continued to cover her face.

It started to crawl at the ground towards her slowly before going fast scratching as it peeling away the wood of the floor as it tried to pull itself out of the pool but failed. While it was still stuck it was more then able to reach her with its long slinky arms as grabbed onto her ankle and started to pull at her trying to take her down into the dark pool of blood with it.
