Silent hill
Girl in the fire
Prologue
It was an early foggy morning at the large town of Ashfield. The sun wasn't even visible past the cloads that hovered just above the eastern horizon. The town was mostly still slumbering; however in the local mental hospital a doctor and a patient were awake. The two were sitting in the doctor's office. “I am going to ask you a few simple questions before we begin. First off, what is your name?”
“Elizabeth Miller.” The patient answered quickly.
“What do people usually call you?”
“Lizzy” the patient swung her legs as she sat in the chair.
“What is your current occupation?”
“I am currently an unemployed high school student.”
“Do you know where you are?”
“Ashfield mental hospital.”
“Do you know why?”
“I am here because I am being 'treated' for post-traumatic stress syndrome.” Lizzy said sarcasticly.
The doctor ignored her tone of voice. “Do you know how long you have been here?”
“For about a year.”
“Did anyone else check in with you?”
“Yes.”
“Who?”
“My three other friends, Crimson Oliver, Ali Gobble, and Allie Sutich.”
“Why are they here?”
“For post-traumatic stress syndrome, Clinical Depression, and Schizophrenia.”
“Do you know what happened to make you all experience these mental illnesses?”
“Be-because…” Lizzy paused.
Sitting alone with the doctor made Lizzy incledibly nervous. She watched him carefully as he wrote down all of her answers. The girl brushed her fingers through her frizzy brunette hair that covered her face. Covering her body from her toes up to her belly was scared flesh from burning in a fire. Breathing deeply, Lizzy was trying to calm down her pounding heart, but with little success.
Seeing her figet and breathing heavier, the doctor knew she was getting more uneasy. “It’s alright, what do you need to help keep you calm?”
“Can I… is it alright if my friends come in here? I haven’t seen them since we were first brought here.” She begged him.
“Well, I will have to check with them first but sure.” He smiled.
“Umm. Doctor, I never got your name.” Lizzy stated.
“Why, my name is Dr. Kaufmann.” He introduced himself.
Trying to act friendly, she gave a small grin, before a nurse entered the room. “Dr. Kaufmann, I have them waiting outside. Shall I let them in?”
The doctor nodded, and the nurse opened the door. “Alight, you three may enter.”
Three girls walked in. The first one was Ali. Her frizzy flat hair was pushed behind her ears, and her eyes had a sad gleam to them. The second one was Crimson. Her pale was a sickly pale and clammy. Covering her face, her hair was a huge mess of blong. Hiding behind her hair, a pair of green orbs stared at the poeple in the room. The last one was Allie. Looking angry, Allie kept on spitting in her hand and slickling her greesy black bangs back. Hiding . Seeing their messy hair and baggy eyes, Lizzy could tell they had got little sleep.
They all wore hospital gowns, along with Lizzy. “Hey guys.” waving slowly at them.
The three girls stared empty mindedly at Lizzy, almost as if she wasn't there. Then Crimson, Ali and Ally rushed to her and embraced Lizzy with a group hug. “I’m so glad you’re ok.” Ali sniffled.
Lizzy saw a tear trickle down Ali’s cheek. Seeing her begin to cry made Lizzy start crying too. “You idiot, you almost died!” Allie scolded her, trying to hold back her tears.
They all broke from the hug almost a little bit unwillingly. Crimson quickly brushed the tears from Lizzy’s and Ali’s faces. “ Stop crying. Everything is going to be ok, I promise.” She said comfortingly.
“Excuse me, but I can’t afford to waste too much time.” The doctor interrupted.
Lizzy nodded. “Sorry.”
“Please, take a seat.” He pointed to the three empty seats beside Lizzy.
“ Now then. The reason I am having this ‘interview’ is because it is important to know how you all ended up like this. So tell me everything that happened between the time you three disappeared to the moment you were discovered by the police.”
The four girls looked at each other. “Umm…you may not believe what happened.” Allie responded.
The doctor sighed. “Well, I am not like most people. I will believe everything you four say. Just promise me that you all speak truthfully, and with as much detail as possible.”
Crimon looked around began to explain, “Well, I guess this all started about a year ago, a day before we ‘disappeared’ in our boarding school located just on the boarders of Silent hill. It was early morning and I was awake ready to take my morning shower, when I started to notice something strange.”
Chapter 1
Strange mirrors and tackle hugs
The sun was barely peeking over the eastern horizon, when a sixteen-year-old girl, with long golden blond hair and snow white skin decided to wake up. She normally would wake up around dawn, but something had awoken her. Since Crimson couldn’t fall back asleep, she decided to take this chance to have a shower. Yawing, she stretched her arms. Then she quickly grabbed her towel, and a set of the school uniform. She sighed, missing being able to wear what she wanted. Crimson stared at the white-collar shirt and navy blue skirt. They quickly departed her room and towards the girl’s shower room.
Crimson rinsed the shampoo out of her hair. She was alone in the steamy girl’s shower room. Turning off the water, she quickly grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body. She walked towards one of the changing stalls, passing a mirror. Crimson stopped in front of it. The mirror was completely covered in water from the steam, however there was something strange. Looking towards the left part of the mirror, she noticed that there was a fresh handprint. Crimson looked around to see if anyone else was in the room, but she was alone. “Hello? Is there anyone else in here?”
There was no response. Crimson sighed and took a closer look at the handprint. It was rather odd, looking like it belonged to a small child. Feeling somewhat nervous, she decided to change in her room. However, when she was right about to leave she heard someone crying. It was coming from one of the changing stalls. Crimson’s heart began to pound in her throat, as she turned around and walk towards the stall. “A-Are you ok?”
She placed her hand on the stall’s door and pushed it open. “Hello?”
Opening the door, Crimson realized that it was empty. She released a heavy sigh, trying to calm down. Quickly she walked towards the door leading to the hallway. A low pitch noise groaned into her ear, and a cold chill brushed down her spine. Slowly, she began to turn when something with brunette hair slammed into the front of her body. “Crimson!”
Crimson looked foreword to see it was Lizzy hugging her. “H-hey, Lizzy.”
Releasing Crimson, she backed away. Noticing how nervous her friend sounded. “Hey, are you ok?”
Lizzy watched as Crimson looked around frantically. “Were you the one making those noises?” Crimson asked.
She shook her head. “What kind of noises?”
“Well, I thought I heard someone crying, and then someone moaning at me.” Crimson whispered probably realizing how crazy she sounded.
“Also I found a weird handprint on the mirror. Looks like it belongs to a little kid.” She pointed to the mirror.
Examining it, Lizzy sighed. “Awww… there’s nothing. Hey Crimson are you sure?”
Crimson nodded. “Well, I believe you then. You wouldn’t lie about something like this.”
Lizzy smiled, and patted her friend on the back. “Come on, I’ll escort you back to the room just in case, ok?”
***************
It was now 7:00 am, and Lizzy was grabbing breakfast with Crimson in the school cafeteria. “I’m tired.” Lizzy complained while rubbing her eyes.
Giggling, Crimson told her. “You should be used to this. Classes have always started at 8.”
Yawing, Lizzy shrugged. “Oh, look it's Ali and Allie.” She announced pointing at a table.
A short girl with medium length flat dirty blond hair, and a girl with medium length black hair with her bangs slicked back were sitting at a table, Lizzy and Crimson walked over to the table to sit with their friends. “Hey Crimson and Lizzy.” Allie greeted.
“How did you guys sleep?” Ali asked.
Lizzy crossed her arms and frowned. “Awful! I was having a great dream, and then my alarm went off.”
“What about you Crimson?” Ali asked her.
“Alright.”
“No! You have to tell us what happened to you this morning!” Lizzy blurted out.
Crimson sighed. Truthfully she wanted to forget what had happened to her, but she didn’t want to disappoint Lizzy. “Today I woke up earlier than normal because I heard a strange noise. So, I decided to take an early morning shower, and when I was done I saw a child’s handprint on the glass. Then I heard someone crying in one of the changing stalls, when I opened it no one was there. After that something was moaning at me, and then Lizzy glomped me.”
The three girls stared at Crimson. “Cool! The school is haunted!” Allie shouted.
“That’s kinda creepy. Are you ok?” Ali said
“Yeah.”
“Thank god I was there!” Lizzy shouted, trying to sound impressive.
Allie, Ali and Lizzy giggled at the thought of something exciting could happen, but Crimson remained silent.
Something to her just didn’t feel right.
*****************
It was now around 8 am, and Ali was in her study hall class. She didn’t really like this class, so she couldn’t help but fall asleep…
“Hey! Wait for me Lizzy!” Ali called out.
In front of her was Lizzy, running away from her. “Stop!”
Finally Ali caught up to her. She placed her hand on Lizzy’s shoulder and made her stop. “Geeze Lizzy. Why were you running?”
Slowly, Lizzy turned her head. Ali gasped at what she saw. Lizzy’s eyes had been torn out, leaving two empty eye sockets with blood trickling from them. “I have to burn.”
Instantly, Lizzy’s body caught on fire making Ali scream.
Ali opened her eyes, and rushed towards the garbage. The smell of the burning human flesh was too much for her, even if it was just a dream. “S-sir may I go to the nurses office?”
The teacher nodded, and Ali bolted out of the classroom. She slowed down once she was far away from her classroom. “What the hell?” Ali muttered to herself.
She had no idea why she dreamt of her friend dying, it was just too disturbing for her to understand. Ali soon spotted the nurse’s office, and decided she needed to lay down. She hoped that she wouldn’t have another dream like that.
