DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT, nor will I EVER own iCarly or the wonderfulness that is the insane world of Silent Hill. I do however, own my characters.

WARNING: Some of my characters are based on events and people from Hellsing, so DO NOT send me comments/flames saying I ripped off Kouta Hirano! They are still original characters even if similarities exist!

PAGE ONE: And the Truth Will Hurt You...

"How much longer do we have, kiddo?" said a man to himself as he looked at a picture of him and the young woman he raised. For nearly two hours that night, he had been standing on the rooftop looking over the Seattle cityscape.

"Are you okay?" asked a woman who walked up to the man.

"Not really, when they all turn seventeen tomorrow our past will come back to haunt us. I'm sacred." said the man as the woman stood next to him.

"Have the preparations been made on your end? The video diary and such?" asked the woman.

"Yeah, it was the hardest thing to record. I even cried at the end." admitted the man.

"I've made mine too, at least they'll have a CHANCE to fight back." said the woman.

"Did we do the right thing? Running away from The Order and hiding the truth?" asked the man.

"To give them a normal life, yes we did. We made that decision knowing what would come tomorrow, but I don't regret it." said the woman as another woman approached.

"I have no regrets. I didn't leave anything behind like a diary or nothing, but all of my money I'm leaving them in their birthday cards." said the other woman as she approached.

"Ms. Puckett, you didn't have to-" started the woman.

"Yes, I did." butted in Ms. Puckett.

"She turns seventeen tomorrow, and then The Order will come hunting..." said the man sadly.

"Sam is the last one to turn seventeen, Spencer, we've done all we can to protect them from that load of bull they call a 'prophecy.'" said Ms. Puckett.

"But we were part of that once, I feel really guilty about everything..." said Spencer.

"We got out, Spencer, and we managed to give the kids the best seventeen years ever. You should let it go." said the woman.

"Okay, Mrs. Benson..." sighed Spencer as he let the picture of him and Carly drop to the sidewalk. Just as it hit the ground, they were entering the doorway to go back downstairs. When they opened the door, there was a man in a cloak standing there.

"I'm bringing ya a warning..." said the man in a Scottish accent. (A/N: NEVER typed an accent before, bear with me!)

"Are you here for them?" growled Spencer.

"Aye, lad. I've come to bring them to their true home." said the man.

"You can't have them! I won't let you take our children away!" yelled Mrs. Benson.

"Easy now, lassie, I'm only here on official business. My warning is that once dawn comes, ya better have said goodbye." said the man.

"We will as soon as the celebrations are over! They deserved and still deserve to be happy!" said Ms. Puckett.

"Their job was to bring in paradise, Babylon, I don't want to hear what YOU think they deserve!" yelled the man.

"The deal was midnight tomorrow night!" said Spencer.

"And teh Chief don' want that deal no more, they're comin' with me at dawn today!" yelled the man.

"And how are you going to stop us?" growled Mrs. Benson as she pulled out a gun.

"Ye're stoopin' to firearms, lassie? Well now, this has gotten interestin'!" said the man as he pulled blades from his sleeves.

"...Y-You can't be..." whispered Ms. Puckett as she fell to the ground on her knees.

"That's right. The hit man for the only official Order branch left...Bayonet!" said Mrs. Benson.

"Meh reputation preceeds meh, lassie, good ta know!" yelled Bayonet as he ran toward Mrs. Benson, who fired a shot directly into his skull between his eyes.

"Throw the gun and your gloves away, Mrs. Benson. Ms. Puckett, please help me dispose of him and our gloves." said Spencer as him and Ms. Puckett hurled Bayonet over the edge of the rooftop before throwing their gloves after him.

"Tomorrow morning we explain everything." said Mrs. Benson.

"Agreed." said Spencer as they walked inside the building.

Unknown to them, a strange glow came from below the building. As the light died down, Bayonet appeared more and more clearly, standing in the dim light before it finally died out.

"Aye, they're gonna be a spot o' trouble. I better wait until they get rested and lay their guard down. Celebrations are in order, all right, for the rebirth of paradise!" yelled Bayonet as he exited the alley and began walking. "Grace be with you all, Amen..." whispered Bayonet in Scottish as he walked into the morning mist.

The sunlight poured into Carly's room that morning with an overwhelming brilliance. Quietly stirring under her covers, Carly woke up to the sun shining directly into her eyes when she turned over. Sighing loudly, she went to go close the curtains for a few minutes more of sleep when she noticed a note stuck to the curtains.

Please come downstairs as soon as you wake up, Carly. This can't wait.

Spencer

"What in the world...?" muttered Carly to herself as she went downstairs to find Sam, Freddie, their moms, and Spencer sitting in the living room.

"You're finally awake." said Spencer as Carly shivered.

"Spencer, what's going on? What's with the note and why is everyone here this early? Did someone die?" asked Carly as she sat uneasily next to Sam.

"The video will explain this easier than I could right now." said Spencer as he turned on the DVD player. When he turned it on, Spencer appeared on the screen.

"Carly, Sam, Freddie, it goes without saying what today is. Today Sam turns seventeen...and this is the last day we will be able to protect you." said Spencer as Sam gasped.

"'Protect?!' 'PROTECT?!' What in the hell is going on?!" exclaimed Sam as Carly pulled her closer.

"Just watch, Sam..." said an uneasy Freddie as Spencer continued.

"This video was made to explain a few things. It was made to make sure you guys would know the truth about your existence and the truth about our pasts. What you guys never knew is that we were once part of a cult in the town of Silent Hill, known only as The Order. For years we believed that their Scriptures were true, and we violently defended them against those in that town who didn't listen to us-"

"Spencer...just what...in the HELL...IS GOING ON?!" yelled Carly as she paused the video and grabbed Spencer by the neck.

"I think we ALL need an answer to that one MOM..." growled Freddie as Sam started to clench her fists so hard that they bled.

"Just keep watching, this doesn't get any easier..." said Ms. Puckett sadly as she pressed play on the remote.

"Please, just watch..." said Spencer in a shallow breath as Carly let him go and sat back down.

"But the hardest day came when Ms. Puckett and one of the priests in our section had a fling. Sam was born out of wedlock, and that caused a huge crisis in our section. Soon after, news reached Mrs. Benson that she would be giving birth to a son and I received news that you would be born, Carly. The crisis increased when Father Vincent told us of a so-called prophecy that told of the two who are to bring Eden back to the world. The entire prophecy stated that two children born of purity would bring paradise to the world and allow "God" to be brought to Earth. But a child born out of wedlock would be the "Bringer of Ruin" and stop paradise from returning. Vincent took this literally and ordered that Sam be put to death...we didn't listen. That was the moment we took life into our own hands and out of The Order's. We ran away that night after killing Vincent when he tried to smother Sam and kidnap you and Freddie." said Spencer as the video was paused by Sam.

"So let me get this straight...for seventeen years we've all lived a LIE?! We've done iCarly, we've gone to school, we've fought through troubles like love, stress, and bullies just to find out we're the children of a CULT?! My whole life is thanks to a warped cult who wants to kill me just because I was born?!" yelled Sam as she flipped the coffee table and punched Spencer.

"Sam, calm down!" screamed Carly as she tried to restrain Sam, who promptly flipped Carly to the floor.

"You just expected us to sit here and take this?! You honestly thought by coming clean NOW we would understand?! I DON'T UNDERSTAND! I thought I knew what I wanted, to grow up and see what the world had to offer me, to grow up and grow old with my two best friends...AND THEN YOU PULL THIS?!" yelled Sam as she fell to her knees and began to cry.

"Mom, WHY did you all join the cult in the first place?!" asked a very uneasy Freddie.

"We didn't join willingly...we were kidnapped as children. We were forced to a place called Wish House, where we learned all that we know about their 'God.' The day they tried to kill Sam, we renounced our faith and finally saw the truth-The Order wants nothing more than to bring Hell to the world, and they don't care who they stomp on. The records and diary we saw proved it." said Mrs. Benson as she stared at the floor.

"What diary?" asked Freddie.

"Vincent's diary, we still have it. But I need you three to continue watching the video diary I made, if you still will." said Spencer as Sam rose to her feet.

"Forget it. My whole life is a fucking joke and I'm not going to listen to any more of this. I don't care if you were kidnapped and I don't care or want to know whatever the hell you guys did as part of that cult. I'm leaving you guys behind because I need time to think this all through. And Mom...thanks for showing me where I got my lying habits from. Rot in Hell for all I care!" yelled Sam as she stormed out the door and slammed it.

"...Just play the rest of the video, Spencer." said Carly as Mrs. Benson pushed play.

"All we wanted was a safe place to escape from Wish House, the orphanage where we grew up and worked. As members of the Disciplinary Force, we did a lot of things we're not proud of and we highly regret. We forced The Order's way of thinking onto innocent kids who had not learned the concept of good and evil yet, up to and including torture. If you're wondering why I'm telling you this, it's because of a deal we made to escape. On the day all three of you would be seventeen, they were going to come for you so that they could perform their demonic rituals in service to their 'God.'" said Spencer as he began to cry before continuing, "Mrs. Benson, Ms. Puckett, and myself are not going to let them take you. We left all of our money that we had put back for this day, a brand new car...and handguns for each of you. As of today, you three are to leave and never come back. We will hold off The Order as long as we can but you must escape. Everything you need, including a change of clothes, is in a locked room in Mrs. Benson's apartment. The key to that room is taped to the bottom of their fridge. Please be safe, Carly, I love you despite the fact I'm a horrible brother." said Spencer as the video ended.

"We're going to find Sam. Thanks for telling us the truth, even it does mean everything is a lie." said Freddie as he stormed out.

"Carly..." said Spencer as Carly paused at the door.

"I...I...I-WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! YOU SCUM-SUCKING LOW-LIVES WHO AREN'T EVEN GOOD ENOUGH TO LICK UP DOG SHIT ON THE SIDEWALK!" yelled Carly as she stormed out.

"...We deserved that." said Mrs. Benson as she started to cry.

"All of it, even my daughter storming out on me." said Ms. Puckett.

"When will Bayonet be back?" asked Spencer aloud.

"I don't know, but I'm armed." said Ms. Puckett.

"You're the only one." said Mrs. Benson.

"Damn it all, I was supposed to ENJOY today!" yelled Sam as she continued packing her bags, "Going from a happy life to finding out it all amounted to shit...story of Sam Puckett! Come see the girl who found out her mom is a lying scumbag! Come see the tough tomboy cry her eyes out over the one person who raised her and who had friends who wanted to kill her when she was just a baby! COME SEE THE TORMENTED WOMAN WHO WILL DIE NEVER KNOWING WHY THE HELL HER OWN MOTHER WAS IN A CULT-A CULT FOR GOD'S SAKE!" Just as she finished yelling, a knock came at the door. "WHO THE HELL IS IT?!"

"Easy, lass! I'm just the local church messenger, I wanted to know if anyone was here that could give directions!" said the man at the door.

"GO AWAY, I'M NOT FEELING WELL!" replied Sam.

"Aye, I'll be on meh way then! Sorreh to bother ya!" said the man as he walked away.

"Fucking people and their fucking problems..." said Sam as a cloaked Bayonet appeared behind her.

"Fuckin' lasses who don' know the meaning of bein' quiet." said Bayonet as Sam turned around.

"How did you get in here?" asked a frightened Sam.

"Aye lass, there's nary I lock I can' pick! I yelled to find out where ya'd be in this house, I'm not all-knowin' after all." said Bayonet.

"...What do you want with me?" asked Sam.

"I assume yeh know teh truth then. Yeh have no choice but to come with me." said Bayonet.

"Like hell I will!" said an angry Sam.

"Ya daughter of Babylon, yeh'll come with me whether ya like it or not!" yelled Bayonet as he pulled a blade from his sleeve.

"Christ..." whispered Sam as Bayonet appeared behind her and put his hand over her mouth.

"In teh name o' God, harlots and whores of Babylon shall enter into damnation! AMEN!" said Bayonet as he disappeared with Sam, leaving behind a note at the spot where they disappeared.

Author's Note: ...Yeah, I've decided to follow the recent trend of Silent Hill: Homecoming and make The Order an organization seeking revenge. While I haven't rented the game and tried it for myself, I have researched the storyline and thought that the revenge motive would fit nicely here.

And YES, Bayonet is based on Alexander Anderson from Hellsing! I don't want to hear any comments about how I ripped off of him...

Finally, they may have seemed a little too trigger happy to freak out like they did at Spencer's DVD...

...But if your world came crashing down, what would YOU do?
