Silent Hill: Love Psalm (Revised)

Posted

Summary: Leon Circe is a young man the age of eighteen. His sweetheart died more than a year back, and Leon has been trying desperately to fill the void that she left in her wake with other women. Leon can't take it anymore- after receiving an ominous text message, he travels to his late sweetheart's hometown to find the truth. (Warnings: some strong language, character death, thirteen year old writer)

"And don't ever come back!" She screamed, slamming the door.

Leon sighed and gazed wistfully at the old house. Not much of one, to be dreadfully honest. It was basically a shack. But rent was cheap, and that's why they went for it. Leon looked at his bags, already packed by his ex-girlfriend. He reached into his pocket and sat down at the curb once he fished out his phone. He punched in a few numbers.

 

"Hey, is Justin there?" There was a cackle on the other end before he heard a gruff, "Hello?"

Leon took a deep breath before speaking. "Yeah. She left me. I was wondering if you still think I could-" He was cut off by a poorly muffled laughter. "Dude, dude, dude..." Justin said when he recovered from his laughing fit. "That's the fourth one in six months." He said before giving another laugh.

 

"I know, I know. Guess I just don't meet the right girls." A sigh came in through the other end, sounding like a stream of static. "Yeah, we've got some room." He said. "You can make yourself at home on the couch." Justin said.

Leon sighed in relief. "And... Would you mind picking me up? I'm at her house right now." Justin sighed. "Today's your lucky day." He said, hanging up.

 

Leon climbed into the old and dirty Honda Civic. He gently pushed aside a few empty beer cans, set his bags in and sat in the passenger side backseat. He closed the door when Justin began to adjust the rear view mirror. "So, did Madeline do it or you?" He asked immediately. "What? No. She just... Met someone else but pretended that she wanted me gone because of family troubles. She should have logged out of Facebook, or I would have believed it." Justin gave a chuckle and stepped on the gas pedal.

 

"This hot piece of ass next to me is Catalina. I believe I told you about her." The latina girl in the passenger seat giggled, but said nothing. Leon smirked. "Which bar did you find her at?" Justin gave it some thought. "I think it was... The Tenebris Rose...?" Catalina shook her head. "The Autum Tulip. You met Jihl at the Tenebris Rose." Justin gave a sigh and rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Oh."

 

(Justin is a white male at the age of 21. He was held back for a few years in middle school so he ended up graduating at the same time Leon did. He's had three girlfriends in the past year, all found at bars. Catalina knows he's a drunk, but loves him anyway. Their marriage is planned for November 25th, four months from now. Catalina is 22.)

 

"So Leon," Catalina spoke up in an attempt to keep the conversation going ."Who is Madeline, anyway?" Leon looked out the window the trees and houses blurring by. "A bitch. I don't know how I put up with her for as long as I did. I got on her laptop to play Amnesia, but I found her Facebook open to a message log between her and James Heracsin, and found out she was cheating on me. I didn't say anything as it would just cause an argument and I'm not a fan of those. So I kept quiet and sulked around. And just a while ago, as you know, she kicked me out, claiming that she had to attend her mother's funeral or some bullshit. She was kind enough to pack my clothes and game systems, though."

 

Catalina considered this for a minute. "Harsh. I thought you two would be together for a while. Evidently, I was wrong." Justin gave a sharp exhale and punched the steering wheel. Leon flinched at the sudden sound. Justin took a deep breath. "Sorry, man. I know how you feel."

Leon and Catalina stared out their windows as the trees rolled by.

 

Leon opened the car door after gathering his bags and stepped out, reveling in the crisp evening air. Justin used his key on the door and held the door open for Leon and Catalina. The ceiling fan in the apartment lobby whirred slowly and the vending machines gave an electric hum. Justin trudged up the stairs to the second floor with Leon and Catalina following suit. He unlocked the door to his apartment, letting his company in before himself and shutting the door behind him.

 

"Okay, you can hook up your game systems here, if you want." Justin said, pointing to the entertainment center in the living room. "As for me, I'm going to sleep." He said, walking with Catalina to the bedroom.

 

'Okay, the video cable goes in here... And then I-' Leon thought, but was cut off by a rustle outside. Leon opened the window and peered out into the foggy darkness. There was a blonde haired woman in a blue nurse uniform slowly walking to the lobby door, twigs crunching under her boots. She slowly reached out to the handle and gave a tug. The lock held fast and thwarted her attempt. Leon thought the woman was about to walk away when suddenly started pulling on the metal handle rapidly, the door quaking from her many attempts. "Uh... Miss?" Leon said a bit nervously. She suddenly stopped, and slowly turned her head towards Leon. Leon fell back away from the window, horrified. The woman didn't have a face. Just skin. Catching his breath, he stood up and looked out the window, to find that there was in fact, not a woman outside. 'Blonde hair..." Leon thought, his arms and legs quivering.

 

Joyous laughter filled Leon's ears, and his vision faded in from black. It was grey and grainy, like an old movie. He was driving a car, and his first girlfriend, Selena was sitting in the passenger seat. "I didn't know you had such a dirty sense of humor..." She said after recovering from her laughing fit. "Oh, really? I didn't know either." Leon said. She laughed again, her golden blonde locks flowing from her head. She seemed to be the only thing in color to him. Her blue nurse uniform from her night shift, her black boots, her skin. Suddenly, her head jerked up, to reveal that her face had gone missing, and her voice suddenly sounded very deep and warbled. "DEATH AWAITS YOU!" It said. Then a truck crashed into the side of their car.

 

A/N: Thanks for reading! It truly means a lot to me! This is my... Second? attempt at a silent hill fanfic. I decided to write this because I can't seem to get enough of Silent Hill. I love all the silent hill games, except homecoming. Homecoming was shit. Downpour sort of made up for Homecoming, but still isn't a good entry into the series. Love the story though. It would really brighten this little teenager's day if you could click that little review button and tell me how you felt about my fanfiction. Open to constructive criticism!

Next chapter: Leon, who experiences more visions and nightmares, receives a text message from Selena's number, urging him to come to her hometown- but there's a problem: She's been dead for almost a year.

Chapter Two: No Face

 

Leon came to in a strange position that put his back in great pain. "Ugh," He managed, undoing the seatbelt that was digging into his stomach. He lifted his head up and realized that he was in a car. "Wh-what? When was I driving?" He asked to nobody in particular. He looked over into the passenger seat, and his breath caught in his throat. "Selena..." He muttered. He had wanted to see her again- just not like this. He sighed and wiped his eye. 'Now isn't a time to mourn.' He thought. He opened the car door and stepped out, the frosted grass crunching underfoot.

 

Their car was wedged in a tree, and a burning truck a ways down the road. "Did we crash, or something?" He muttered. He looked up to see ash slowly falling from above, and hitting his face. "Ashes? Are they from that truck...?" He wondered out loud. "Hey!" He called to the truck. "Anyone there?" No response. He slowly walked over to the truck, hoping there was, in fact, somebody alive. "Hey!" He called again. Now he could see that the truck wasn't just burning- it was toppling.

 

"What the hell happened to the road?" He wondered, leaning over as far as he dared. The pit seemed bottomless- Leon backed up a few paces, for fear of falling in. He took his phone out of his pocket and thumbed through his contacts, occasionally wiping the ashes off the screen. He called Justin's number and put the phone to his ear. Static came through the other end, making Leon jerk the phone away from his ear. "Justin?" He said into the phone. The only reply he got was static. "Dude! Answer me!" Leon said. The static stopped, and a dial tone sounded. Leon sighed and put the phone back into his pocket. He turned around, and he could just barely make out a green sign that said, "Welcome to Silent Hill,".

 

"Silent Hill...? Where have I heard that name before...?" Then he remembered. "This is... Selena's hometown..." He said slowly.

Leon awoke with a start, trying to catch his breath. He buried his face in his hands. "Dude... Calm down. Did you have a nightmare or something?" Justin asked. Leon shook his head. "No..." Justin chuckled. "Whatever." Catalina giggled, but again, said nothing. "Well," Justin spoke up. "Cat and I are going to the supermarket. Want to come?" He asked. "Why are you going there?"

 

"To pick up groceries and such." Leon exhaled audibly. "Sure, I'll go."

 

-

 

"Dude," Justin said, "Could you go get some teriyaki sauce for me?" He asked. "It's over at the back of the store." Leon nodded and began to walk to the back when he was caught in a crowd. Leon groaned inwardly as he tried to make it through the crowd. He then caught glimpse of something in the corner of his eye. Blonde hair. Blue nurse uniform. He stopped cold. The world slowly faded to gray. Everything around him stopped.

 

Instead of the girl in the blue nurse uniform. She walked in front Leon, oblivious to the frozen world around her. "Is that... Selena?" Leon wondered, his need to go get the teriyaki sauce fading. "Selena!" He called. He scanned the crowd for her blonde hair. 'There,' he thought, picking up the pace as whe walked toward her, and reached out to grab her. The figure vanished in a fine dust as soon as his hand touched her. 'What...?' he thought. He turned around and saw the blonde hair again, bobbing through the crowd and into an aisle. He ran towards the aisle and called her name, when the world unfroze and everybody continued with their normal lives.

 

"What the hell was that about?" Justin asked. "Um, what?"

 

"Whatever you were doing. You said her name and suddenly walked over to the left of the crowd, then you ran toward the cereal aisle." Leon turned to face Justin, who had his hand on a box of Premium Crackers. "N-nothing..." Justin scoffed and put the crackers in the cart. "Whatever." He muttered, pushing the cart away to the frozen foods aisle.

 

Leon sighed. What the hell was happening? And what did it have to do with Silent Hill? He was pulled from his thoughts when his phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out and opened the message. It said three simple words: 'I found you,'. But what piqued Leon's curiosity was that it was from Selena's number. He rubbed his eye and put his phone back into his pocket. It was probably a prank text from her brother, Mathias, who found her phone after her death. But still, Leon doubted it was a coincidence.

 

Leon walked to the back of the store and took the lukewarm teriyaki sauce off the shelf, and took it to the frozen foods shelf, where Justin was putting a frozen pack of hot dogs into his cart. "Ah, thanks. This will go great with these hot dogs." Justin said. "Anytime." Leon replied.

 

Catalina ran up to the two, depositing three gallons of milk into the cart. "Anything else we need?" She asked. Justin shook his head. "I think I've got all we need.." Leon averted his gaze to the left of the frozen foods, where the chicken and steaks were. He caught a brief glimpse of Selena picking out a steak. He closed his eyes and shook his head.

 

"Dude, are you okay? You seem tense." Justin said. "No, there's just something I have to do."

 

-

"Dude, I need a ride to Silent Hill." Leon said for the third time.

 

"Why would you need to go there? You've heard the myths, the stories." Justin said, a bit annoyed by his persistence. "Yeah, I know. Could you just give me a ride there?" Leon asked. "You'd really be helping me out." Justin sighed, picking up the keys. �Boy, you're pushing your luck.�
