Silent Nightmare

Seperation.

Chris, Jill, and Rebecca begin to hike up the destroyed hill in search of Leon. Rebecca looks up and notices the falling ash from the sky and on the ground. "Ashes." She says to herself, slowly rubbing the particles in her fingers. She looks back up at her surroundings and sees everything entirely covered in ashes. "You guys. Ashes." Rebecca calls out to them.

Jill and Chris both look back at her, then examine there surroundings and notice the ash completely nearly covering everything. Jill bends down and picks up some of the ash off the ground to examine it. "She's right. Its ashes. Ashes falling from the sky?" Jill says confused as she glances at Chris for an explanation.

"Why would there be falling ash?" Rebecca asks as she glances at both Jill and Chris. 

Chris looks around, "Who knows. There are no volcanoes here. Strange." He says dumbfounded. Jill wipes away the ashes on her pants. "We need to keep going, we can worry about the ash after we find Leon." Jill says.

Rebecca nods her head, as Chris begins to remember bits and pieces of a conversation of The President and an unknown person were having before Chris headed out for the WilPharma Corp.

~FLASHBACK~~

Chris rises up from the ground elevator after recruiting his team, he begins walking back towards the Presidents office. He walks up to the two double doors, and sees them cracked alittle bit. He peeks through and sees the President sitting in his chair facing a man with his back to Chris.

"Mr. President, I don't think it's a great idea that we send our best S.T.A.R.S members to...Silent Hill. That place is extremely dangerous. You've read the reports from fellow members Harry and his teenage daughter Heather Mason, Alex Shepard, Jason, and Rose de Silva. When they went into the other dimension, strange things happened. Ash was falling from the sky, everything was grey and black. Creatures...it was like Hell." The strange man begins to shout as he gets up from his seat and walks around the Presidents desk next to him.

"We can't risk loosing them sir. We just can't." The strange man says trying to calm his voice. The President stares at the photo of his daughter smiling with her mother, who's deceased.

"No. It's my daughter! She's all I have left now, my wife is gone. Nereyda is the only family I have left..." He says looking at his wife smiling.

"I will get her back, even if that means sacrificing my own team to get it done. Besides Umbrella-" as Chris tries to get closer to hear, the floor creaks and draws the attention of both the men.

"What was that?" The President questions. The strange man walks towards the door, Chris quickly sneaks around a corner to hide. The man opens the door and looks down the hallway to see them empty. He closes the door and walks back in the room.

"It was nothing, sir."

~~END FLASHBACK~~

"Chris, whats wrong?" Jill asks walking back down towards him. He shakes his head.

"Its nothing, I'll tell you about it later. Lets get going." Chris begins to climb over a log when Rebecca calls out to them from on top of the hill, on the road.

"Jill! Chris! I'm at the top already! And I don't see Leon anywhere!" She shouts back down towards them. Jill and Chris hurry up the hill and eventually make it to her.

They step onto the road and look down the hill at the destruction the crash caused. Tree's crushed, the dirt and rocks out of the ground. Pieces of the bus left behind from tipping, some little fires still illuminating from the crash.

"Damn, this place is wrecked." Chris says as he shakes his head.

A crackle is heard in the woods behind them, across the street. Chris quickly looks in that direction and see's Nicholai's vehicle in the tree. The driver hanging half way out the window. Blood seeping from his arms. And eye dangling from his head, and one of his arms wrangled and disfigured showing bones and meat from the wound.

"Oh my-." Rebecca covers her eyes from the sight. Chris and Jill pull out there handguns and begin to slowly walk to the Jeep. Rebecca pulls out her handgun and scans the surroundings.

Chris opens the passenger seat, but see's no body. He looks through the front window and sees it crashed through. He closes the door and walks in front of the car.

"He was flung through the window, but he's not anywhere around here." Chris looks on the Jeep's hood but just sees some shattered glass.

"Chris, look." Jill points to the ground next the hood of the car, and a puddle of blood making a trail into the woods. Chris begins to follow the trail with Jill and Rebecca following closely behind. He looks back to check on them. 

"You guys keep up, we can't let our guard down." They both nod their heads. He continues to follow the blood stains down the other side of the rocky hill. The blood begins to be less and less to just drips. They begin to climb down rocks and trees. As they get farther and farther down, the wind begins to pick up and the ashes begin to fall even more. The rocks, tree's, ground begin to cover completely in ashes.

"Chris! The rocks are getting slippery! We need to go back up Chris, its getting too dangerous for us!" Jill shouts as the howling wind begins getting more fierce and rough. The ash making it even less visible to see.

"We need to find Leon! We can't just give up, lets keep going!" Chris tries to shout over the wind. Jill doesn't hear him so she looks up at Rebecca signaling her to go back back up. Rebecca nods her head and begins to climb back up.

"What are you doing Jill!?" Chris tries to climb after her, but misses a step, when he tries to grab a rock to hold onto it breaks apart sending him flying down backwards into the forest below him.

"Jilll!" He screams as he falls down. He crashes through the branches hitting them all on the way down, he tries to grab hold of them to keep himseld from going down even more but makes it worse as a branch penetrates his hand, getting stuck in it. He breaks through one last branch and lands on a floor. He hits it with a loud thud and crack.

He lays there in pain and agony. "Gahh!" He looks under him and sees that he's on a thick branch in the air. He slowly feels liquid dripping from his hand, he looks at the stick jabbed into his hand. Blood oozing out and and hitting the ground. The ashes turning a dark brick red. "Shit."

He checks his pockets in search of his knife. He presses against his body and pain shoots up his body. "Ugh!" He begins to breathe slowly and finds his knife in his chest pocket. He begins to cut the stick on one end.

When he cuts it, he sets the knife down and slowly begins to pull. "Gahh, shit." He groans as he pulls. He manages to pull it nearly out. He holds his breathe and with one last pull, he yanks the stick out completely.

"Ahhhh!" He screams as he throws the stick over the edge.

His scream echo's throughout the woods.

He begins panting and tears off his sleeve to wrap around his wound.

He then begins to search around his surroundings. "I need to get back up the hill"

..............

As Jill and Rebecca continue to climb up the rocky steep hill the fierce wind dies down. Jill glances back, but doesn't see Chris. "Chris?" She whispers. Rebecca looks back and frowns in confusion when she doesn't see him.

"Where's Chris?" Rebecca anxiously ask's as she looks over Jill's shoulder searching for Chris. 

"I..I don't know. I think he went back down. We need to go back for him." Jill says as she begins to walk back down.

"But Jill-." She suddenly gets cut off as an explosion is heard from the bus. They both look in that direction and see smoke lifting up into the sky.

"Oh no! Cybil!" Rebecca yells, "We need to check on her!" Rebecca begins to shout as she runs towards Cybil's direction.

"Rebecca wait! Shit!" Jill looks back down the steep rocky hill then begins to run after Rebecca.

"Wait Rebecca!"
