In this story Heather is referred to as Cheryl in following the events after Silent Hill 3. It may not be completely accurate on account of me never actually playing any of the games (Hey! I did watch a walkthrough episode or two! That and I brushed up on some facts thanks to good ol' Silent Hill Wiki.) Please enjoy and review so I know that I am doing a good job!

Important: The deity of the cult god, will be addressed as lower-case god. I am religious, and this is how I am going to write it, and that's that. *snap, snap, snap*

By the way, I don't own Silent Hill or any of the characters.

*And I am open to anyone wanting to beta the next chapters! So please let me know if you have ever played the game and would be willing to beta!

It's finally over.

Heather Mason, no wait…Cheryl Mason, just felt relieved to finally be out of Silent Hill. After finding Douglas, she had helped the old detective into his car and drove away from the town of nightmares.

She sighed, looking over to see Douglas staring at her, a faraway look clouding his eyes.

"What?" she asked with a shrug. Douglas started to speak, then seemed to give it a little more thought, combing a hand through his grey hair "So, what are you going to do now?"

She was a little taken aback, she had just gotten out of that hellish place; she hadn't really put a lot of thought into the future while fighting for her life. "I dunno." she shrugged and acted like it was no big deal.

However the question remained hanging over her head. What am I going to do?

Douglas' leg was torn up pretty bad, despite him trying to shrug it off as nothing, she knew that he had to be hurting pretty badly and they were going to go right to the hospital. Cheryl let Douglas lean on her as they limped into the ER. Inside, it was nice and clean, and it had that familiar chemically smell associated with most hospitals.

The front desk girl saw the bleeding man and yelled "We need a wheelchair over her! This man is bleeding heavy!"

When a group of nurses and doctors ran out to take him from her, she tried not to twitch. I'm not in Silent Hill…I don't need to be worried. But still the feeling haunted her, as if at any moment the walls were going to peel away revealing rusted and blood spattered metal grating. Taking a deep breath she plopped down on one of the semi-comfortable chairs in the lobby, waiting to hear how Douglas was going to be.

The lady at the desk saw finally noticed her and motioned for her to come to the front desk. "Honey, don't worry he is going to be just fine. They want to keep him overnight though, just to be sure his wounds will heal alright." She gave her a soft smile, and a light pat on the hand "Why don't you go on home and get some rest?"

She was terribly tired; it had been a long time since she had slept. Yawning loudly she thanked the kind lady and left the hospital.

She drove back to Daisy Villa Apartments. There really wasn't anywhere else for her to go. I'm alone now… The loneliness crashed over her like a wave, as soon as she closed the door she ran into her bedroom and cried into her pillow. Dad, why? I have been through so much… I made it… You would be so proud. Not bothering to undress she curled into bed and let the exhaustion sweep her away.

z.z.z.z.z

She walked down a fog shrouded road, the buildings looming overhead grey and ghostly. She wasn't exactly sure where she was going, but her feet carried her onwards into the void. It's so quite… Even her thoughts sounded loud in this place. Up ahead there was a figure, watching her intently from the haze.

Her instincts told her to stay away from whatever it was, turn back the other way. But she wanted to see who it was here all alone in the fog. She gave herself a quick pat down, hoping she had some kind of weapon in her dream world. Of course not. Well, the thing didn't look harmful…it certainly wasn't attacking her anyways. "Hey, who are you?" She called out, hoping it was friendly.

Upon closer inspection she could see it was just a man. His hair was startlingly yellow in color, and his eyes were a warm caramel brown. He wore a light grey business suit and red tie, with sharp black shoes…overall he was a handsome man. She didn't recognize him, but it was weird that her subconscious would conjure such a person.

He caught sight of her and waved his hand to her "Cheryl? Is that you?" Cautiously she walked towards him, checking to make sure he didn't have any intentions of hurting her.

"How do you know my name?" He may seem all nice and friendly, but you can never tell in a dream.

The man smiled, and, of course, he had perfect white teeth to match his angelic features. "We have…met before. You might not remember me. But please, calm yourself, I'm not here to hurt you."

Despite his reassurances, she did not feel like calming down. "Why are you here?"

His brows furrowed, and he shifted his feet, the black leather shoes he wore making a slight squeak "I-I came to ask…" She thought she saw his head give a little twitch, but it was too quick to tell for sure. He took a deep breath and then gave his reply "I came to ask you to come with me." He extended his right hand out to her. "Silent Hill calls for you, but it is too weak to force you to come."

She began to shake her head, terrified and angry at the same time. I just left that horrible place. Why do I need to go back?

The man still held out his hand, an offer yet to be taken or refused. "Please, Silent Hill needs you to come back, Cheryl." His soft eyes pleaded, a strange spark of fear in his gaze.

Crazy as this all is, it's only a dream. "Yeah, sure, whatever." She grabbed hold of his hand. "I'm just going to wake up in an hour or so."

I know, just a really short chapter. I really want to see what kind of feedback I'm going to get for this. I'm really scared to continue because I don't exactly know the Silent Hill universe very well. Remember to review for me! Sterella loves you.
