AN: DUN HURT ME BECAUSE I TOOK TOO LONG!

Artie: Well, they may not have a choice. Can't you see they're all dying of Artie deprivation?

Me: ... -_-

Artie: It's true! People can't live without me for long or else... bad things happen.

Me: Oh, really. Like what?

Artie: Uh... Erm... Why don't we get to the story? These lovely people have been waiting long enough.

Me: *facepalm*

**(Chapter Three)**

Finn paced the shop, worried. It had been 20 minutes since Blaine left to try and find Kurt. "Where are they?" He hissed. Santana rolled her eyes.

"I'm sure they're fine. Just give them 10 more minutes," she replied, hoping that would shut him up. Mercedes was nervous. She didn't want to lose both Kurt and Blaine. Another 5 minutes had passed, and still no sign.

"Should we go and look for them? At least we'll be in a group-" Mercedes suggested when Rachel shouted, 'LOOK!' and pointed out the window. The group looked and cheers erupted. Blaine was walking back with his hand around Kurt's waist. The said boy was looking around nervously. Blaine opened the door, stepped to the side to let Kurt in and shut the door behind them. Kurt was then tackled by Brittany, who kept murmuring, 'My dolphin is safe!'

Mercedes was next in line to share a hug, and after she pulled back, she gave Blaine a 'Good job.' smile. Mr. Shue walked up to them. "It's very nice to see you Kurt, but please, don't run off without us." He said. Kurt nodded.

"I'm sorry, but something about that girl...It's like she wanted me to follow her...something drew me to her and I really couldn't fight it. I know it was stupid and careless, and I'll try not to run off again," he replied. Mr. Shue was confused, but he just nodded and walked back the group. Blaine turned to Kurt.

"What do you mean by that...?" He asked his boyfriend. Kurt frowned.

"It's hard to explain...let's go join the others..." Blaine nodded as he watched Kurt walk back to the group and be greeted by the others.

Sirens began to wail out. Brittany clung to Kurt's arm like a lifeline. Kurt paled. "It's those things again...isn't it?" He asked, shaking. Blaine walked over and sat by Kurt.

"Y-yeah...but don't worry, we're safe inside here." He replied. Kurt slowly nodded and held Blaine's hand as the world went dark. To his horror, as he looked around, Kurt noted that Blaine was wrong. Completely wrong.

The walls began to rust up and shed the wallpaper, revealing a chain-like fence around them. Brittany whimpered even more, and the others huddled together, terrified. Blaine stood up, ignoring Kurt's protests and walked around, looking for any sign of those creatures. Suddenly, everyone heard the sound of what they heard earlier. A high pitched scream emitted from behind the fence. Kurt shrieked in terror as his eyes landed on the same monster that had grabbed Blaine. The monster was trapped behind the fence, but the sight still terrified the him. Blaine ran over to him and held him tight, hoping Kurt would calm down.

"Guys," said Mr. Shue, "stand completely still. Just like before. They can't get through that fence; we have to wait it out until they leave."

There was nodding and murmuring of agreement among the group. Kurt held on to Blaine like a lifeline, stubbornly refusing to let go. Rachel, too, was tethered to Finn, Artie was closing his eyes and holding his hands over his ears, Mike and Tina had picked this, of all times, to kiss more, Quinn and Puck were turned, backs facing each other, to the east and west walls, Mercedes was murmuring something under her breath that sounded like a prayer, and Santana was holding Brittany's head as the latter sobbed into the former's shoulder.

The monsters clawed at the fence like their lives depended on it. They looked so pitiful, Brittany sort of wished she could help them. Kurt then looked around and noticed a figure standing behind the monsters.

The little girl.

"Hey! That little girl is in trouble!" Kurt cried out. "She needs help!" Blaine and the others turned to him.

"What girl?" Tina asked. Kurt pointed towards the girl.

"That one!" he replied, barely resisting the urge to jump out of Blaine's grasp and go help her. Artie shook his head.

"Kurt, you must have gone insane...there is no girl!" he said. Blaine glared at Artie for calling his Kurt insane. Kurt frowned.

"I swear, I see her! She's right there!" he argued. Blaine held Kurt tighter, knowing Kurt was about to jump up at any time. The girl smiled wickedly and held up one finger, beckoning Kurt. Kurt closed his eyes and tried not to look at her. He remembered what he had promised the group.

"Kurt..." a voice whispered. Kurt shot his head up in time to see the girl blink at him and walk away as the monsters dissolved and light returned to the shop as the image of the said place went back to normal.

"A-am I going crazy...?" he whispered, frowning. Blaine shook his head.

"No...no no no no no... Kurt, you're perfectly fine," he said, kissing Kurt's temple.

For a few minutes, the glee club remained where they were, wallowing in the silence. Things were bad, there was no denying that, and they had to get out of Silent Hill fast if they were to get out alive.

It was Puck who first ventured outside the little shop. He was followed by the rest of them. "Where do we go now?" Mike asked. Mr. Shue shrugged.

"Don't know." He replied. Rachel huffed.

"Well, I don't want to stay out here, knowing those things are around," he hissed. For once, Kurt agreed with her.

"I agree, I'm absolutely terrified. I hate this place. Screw Regionals. I want to go home!" Kurt cried. Blaine frowned and hugged him.

"I know, baby, I know." He said, stroking Kurt's hair. Surprisingly, he let him. Blaine turned to the group. "Well, where to? We all know we can't go back to the bus, thanks to the missing road. Just keep moving forward?" he suggested.

"Yeah, sure, why not?" Quinn replied. Everyone agreed reluctantly. Soon, the group moved deeper into town. Kurt's nerves were on the edge. He didn't think he could take anymore.

"Blaine..." Kurt whimpered, tugging on his boyfriend's sleeve. Blaine looked at him.

"Yes?" he asked casually, as if they weren't in a haunted town. If Kurt were a cat, he would've growled. Blaine raised an eyebrow at Kurt's expression. "What?" Kurt huffed and shook his head.

"Never mind." Blaine just shrugged and continued walking. Rachel huffed.

"Great. No solos, no winning, no-" Kurt spun around.

"WILL YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP YOU STUPID, SPOILED, FAT-NOSED PIECE OF-"

"HEY!" Kurt looked up to see a female police officer standing there with a hand on her hip. Her face was covered by a helmet and sunglasses, so Kurt couldn't correctly see what she looked like.

"Yes, officer - wait... you. You have to know something, right?" Kurt asked hopefully, acting as if he hadn't been yelling at the loud-mouthed Rachel. He could just imagine the officer raising an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" She asked, but her tone said she knew otherwise. Artie sighed.

"Miss. The monsters, sirens, underground fires... you know what's going on, don't you?" he asked. The said policewoman sighed.

"Yeah, not all the details, but I know what you mean. However, I want to know what a bunch of teenagers like you are doing in a place like this." She turned to Kurt. "And why you were screaming at that little Missy?" Rachel smirked at the said fashionista. Kurt gave the officer a 'Bitch, please' look.

"You want to know why I've been screaming at her? You really want to know? Well, I'll tell you. It's because she is the most selfish, ego-filled, frankly pathetic person I have ever met," Kurt spat.

"Kurt," said Mr. Shue sternly. "Don't scare her off before she's even met us." He held out his hand to the police officer. "Mr. Will Shuester," he greeted.

The officer returned the handshake. "Officer Cybil Bennet," she said. Cybil removed her sunglasses so she could get a good look at the group. "May I ask what you're doing here?"

"We're a glee club from Lima, Ohio. We were on the way to Raleigh for Regionals, but we ended up here," said Mr. Shue.

Cybil sighed. "Well, I would tell you all to scram - "

"Is she being possessed by Coach Sylvester?" Brittany whispered into Santana's ear.

" - but it seems as though the road is missing," Cybil finished. Quinn huffed.

"Great. Just great! We're stuck," she ranted. Kurt turned to Cybil.

"Uh, Ms. Bennet?" He asked. Cybil turned to him. "Would you happen to know a little girl with long black hair?" The officer shook her head.

"No. I'm sorry." Mr. Shue sighed and turned to the group.

"Alright, Now I think we should split up." There was an immediate chorus of protests, including Mercedes's 'AW, HELL TO THE NAH!' and Finn's 'NO WAY!'. Cybil shouted out to quiet the group.

"HEY! SETTLE DOWN AND LISTEN TO YOUR INSTRUCTOR," she bellowed. The group immediately quieted, especially Puck. If there was one thing you learned in juvee, it was to never anger an officer. Mr. Shue thanked Cybil and turned back to the group.

"I understand you guys are frightened, and so am I. But now with two adults, we could split up and check things out... I mean, if Officer Bennet doesn't mind." Cybil shook her head on cue. He continued. "Alright. Kurt, Blaine, Artie, Rachel, and Mercedes will go with Officer Bennet. The rest of you come with me." The said students nodded and gathered near Cybil. Kurt pushed Rachel away from him, earning a glare from the short girl. Finn kissed Rachel good-bye and joined his group.

"Alright, let's head out. We should meet up in two hours, back here." Cybil called out. Mr. Shue nodded in approval and his group went the opposite direction.
