Silent Hill: The Equestrian Files

     "Dinky!" shouted Ditzy, hoping to get a response.  She attempted to get into the air, to try and spot her in the air.  She spread her wings and leaped into the sky.  Her wings froze up and snapped back to her sides, brining her back to the ground.

      She groaned as she stood back up, back sore from the fall.  She brushed herself off and looked around her, taking in the state of the town.  The streets were abandoned and foggy. None of the buildings showed signs of life.

        The buildings had smashed windows or doors and faded paint and signs.  The town had a eerie silence to it.  Her skin crawled in irritation and slight fear.  She didn't know what caused it but she didn't exactly want to find out.

       She walked forward into the town, scanning the buildings for Dinky as well as the streets and the alleys.  She would occasionally call out her name, hoping for her to come out of one of the buildings.

        She sighed and kept walking through the town.  It's empty feel slowly making her feel more anxious as she went forward.  The towns foreboding atmosphere did not help at all.

       The shadow of a figure in the fog caught her attention.  The figure seemed to wearing the same type of clothing as Dinky as well as it looking like her.  Ditzy's spirits rose and she ran in the direction of the figure.

        "Dinky!" she called out.  The figure ran away, going down an alley way filled with garages.  "Wait!"  She ran faster after the figure. The small filly was faster than her and kept a good distance between them.

         The figure turned the corner and went through a gate, slamming it behind it. By the time Ditzy reached it, she was gasping for breath after having to run after the filly.  She opened the gate and gagged.

          What looked like a dog was laying in a pool of blood and it's own fur and guts.  Said dog was skinned and gutted right there in the alley.  Ditzy could not stop the bile that rose and exited out of her mouth.  Her stomach clenched and more bile exited out of her system via her mouth.

          When she was finished, she wiped off whatever bile was still on her mouth and stepped away from the dog and kept going.  She walked down the alley, staggering a bit after emptying her stomach.

        There was a steady dripping of water somewhere as she continued, making the cramped alley more eerie.  It didn't help that it was getting increasingly darker as she continued.

          Ditzy stopped and pulled out her flashlight and slipped it into her front jacket pocket that sat on her breast.  The light kept the area in front of her decently lit as she continued hands free.

         It kept getting darker to the point where the only light came from her flash light, anything beyond it was non-existent.  It gave Ditzy a gut wrenching feeling as she continued.

        She soon came to a line of fences.  She followed them and found them to make a path.  Following the path itself, she came to a small dead end.  She was almost glad that her stomach was empty when she reached there.

         What looked like a pegasi with its wings ripped off hung on the fence in crucifixion style.  There were multiple lacerations on its body including one horizontal line across the stomach area, spilling out its insides.

           Ditzy stepped away from it, not wanting to be anywhere near the body.  She ended up bumping into something.  Screaming, she turned around and found what looked like a foal.  It's face was covered and it's body was an eerie pale tan.  It twitched around, holding a knife in its hand.

            She looked around and saw that she was surrounded by them.  She ran past the first one and attempted to go the way she came.

           She raced down the path, wanting to get as far away from there as possible.  She kept running even though her legs and lungs burned.  She soon came to a dead end.

           She shook the cage and screamed, wanting to escape.  She turned around with her back against the fence and saw the foal-like creatures coming towards her.  She closed her eyes and waited.

          Rainbow Dash knocked on the door belonging to the library.  She was wearing a pair of simple jeans and a cyan blue hoodie that had her cutie mark embroidered on it.  Derpy had given her it when they first started dating and she tried to wear it as often as she could.

           Dash knocked on the door a second time, becoming impatient with the lack of answer.  She raised her hand to knock, and possible kick in, the door, when it opened to reveal a slightly annoyed Twilight.

            "Rainbow, I thought you already had the whole Daring Doo series and it old you the new book won't be out for at least another year." said Twilight.

          "It's not Daring Doo this time, promise.  I just need any books you have about a town called Silent Hill." she said, walking past Twilight and into the library.

            "Spike is reading a few books on it.  I think he is upstairs." replied the librarian.  Dash said her thanks and flew up the stairs, stopping at the bedroom door and knocking.

             "Come in." she heard a voice say.  Dash opened the door and found the dragon sitting at the desk in the corner, his head in a number of books.  Rainbow had to suppress a laugh as she found the scene ironic.

              "You're starting to look like Twilight." she said with a smirk.  Spike lifted his claw and proudly showed her his middle finger.  "Maybe some other time, besides I have Derpy." she said, still smirking.  Spike sighed and shook his head.

              "What are you doing here?" he asked, looking up from the amount t of books.  "I thought you went with her to this Silent Hill place?" he said.  Dash shook her head and walked up so she could see over his shoulder.

              "Nope.  Just her and Dinky.  Look, I just came her to figure out what I can about Silent Hill."  she said, sitting down next to him.

             "Alright.  I found out a few things but I'm not liking them." he started.  He picked up a heavy brown book and flipped it to a book marked page.  "According to this, Silent Hill has been abandoned for twenty years after and accident."

             "What kind of accident."

              "Well, it's a town mostly made up of earth ponies.  Their profit was the coal mine they had in the town.  It also had a rather large cult.  After a mining accident, there were heavy casualties.  Some of the fires still burn today.  After most of the town was evacuated, there were rumors that the cult created the problem and the higher ups just used the mines as an excuse.

                "But what disturbs me is how real this could be.  The heads of the cult were unicorns with a not so bright past and knowledge of the darker arts, some of it the shit Celestia banned for obvious reasons." He closed the book and turned to her.  "All the books say the same and you better hope they are wrong because you could have sent your marefriend to Equestria's version of hell on earth."  Dash started to rub her temples.

                "Fuck me."

             Ditzy shot up on the seat, almost making her fall off it in the process.  She quickly looked around and was relieved to find herself alone and any foal-like monsters absent.  She sighed and fell back onto the seat she was on.

              "What the fuck is wrong with this town?" she said to herself.

              "Well, you're not the only one wanting to know."  Ditzy shot up again and whipped her head around.  Coming out from behind the counter of what looked like a cafè they were in, was a cyan unicorn with a blonde mane much like Ditzy's.  The mare had baby blue eyes and a smile that helped reassure a bit.

              "I'm Civil Bennett.  I'm the police chief from the next town over, Brahms." said the mare, walking up to Ditzy.  She stuck out a hand that Ditzy shook.

              "Ditzy Doo.  My friends call me Derpy because of my eyes.  I don't mind it."  Civil nodded.

              "Well, Derpy, what brings you to the hell hole called Silent Hill?" asked Civil, sitting on one of the bar stools.

              "My daughter.  We came here to try and fix her nightmares of this town.  Didn't expect to get in an accident and lose her in this place." muttered Derpy, glaring at the grime covered table like it was the sole reason they were stranded and Dinky missing.

             "Look, as much as I want to stay and chat, I got to find a seven year old filly who probably can't use her magic." said Derpy, standing up and turning to the door.

            "Derpy, wait!"  Derpy turned back to the police pony.  "Do you have a gun?" she asked.  Derpy slowly shook her head.  Civil reached to her belt and grabbed her handgun and the two clips that she usually carried.  "Take these.  Just aim and pull the trigger but only when you know what you are shooting at so you don't hit me.  The button to release the clip is on the side.  Just shove a new clip in and pull back on the slide."  Derpy grabbed the handgun and shoved it under her belt and nodded thanks.

          "And just two more things."  Civil reached into her back pocket and pulled out a map, most likly of Silent Hill.  She then reached back down to her belt and gave her a walkie-talkie.  "You should be able to get around town with that.  And use the talkie if you need to contact me.  I'll run back to my car to grab my shotgun and other radio before I head out and find your daughter.  She should be the only other normal thing besides us."  Derpy nodded and shook her hand.

         "This means a lot, Civil.  Just make sure if you find Dinky to take care of her before you find me." said Derpy, taking the other items and storing them away.

        "No problem.  I'll see ya later, Derps."  With that, she walked out of the door, leaving Derpy standing there.  She took out the gun and looked at it before sighing.

          "What the fuck did I get myself into Dash?"
