Chapter 1: Back To Square One
Chell inhaled deeply as she stood before the metal shed; a gateway to the hell hole she so desperately wanted out. This would have been the last place she would ever thought to return to, heck, she thought she would die in some wasteland first before coming back here. Part of her wanted leave the site immediately and possibly considered death as a option. She knew that she was to stubborn to accept death's false loving embrace, Chell finally forced one of her arms away from her side as she pulled open at the loose, metal thin door of the shed. Stepping inside to face another door, this one being a thousand times thicker with huge metal locks visible.
A small intercom with a small camera popped out of a small hole on the upper left corner of the heavy door. "Oh...it's you." A voice that Chell could never mistaken for someone else, it sent chills down her spine as she slowly looked up at the small device, already regretting to ever step her foot inside the shed.
"If you haven't gotten the memo from before, I meant it when I said 'NOT' for you to come back." GLaDOS said with a monotone voice with a hint of both annoyance and amusement.
Chell frowned, looking back over her shoulder. 'Maybe death wouldn't be so bad... ' She thought to herself.
"So, you can turn back around and prance around like a wild animal in a far away forest. You finally have your freedom. That's what you wanted right?" GLaDOS said, unsure what to make of this in all honesty; was it not the freedom the human wanted so bad that literally destroyed half of her facility, allowed a complete moron to take hold of her body, and she, being forced into a medium-large sized potato enough? Chell was granted her freedom, what more could this lunatic want?
Chell looked back at up at the device, shaking her head. There was definitely no forest, not much animals as she could recognize, and no living humans as far as she went. It was literally a wasteland, she had to survive off roaches and abnormally large rodents during her search. Even those were scarce to find. As far as she could tell, the planet just turned into a huge grassland with decaying memories of human civilizations.
"No?" The supercomputer was almost surprised at that response. "I knew the conditions outside were pretty terrible, but I didn't think it would be that bad." She paused as the former test subject sent a glare towards the camera. "But even so, you wanted leave, you destroyed half my facility, you were the reason why I got put into a potato!"
Chell raised a brow. 'Well if didn't try to kill me for the one millionth time, that wouldn't have happen to you.' Chell lifted her arm and pointed at the metal door, wanting access.
"Oh nononononononon. I want you gone you lunatic. You will not come back into my precious facility and use your weight to destroy it again." GLaDOS tone was stern. "What makes you think I would ever want yo-," She stopped at mid-sentence as Chell pointed at a over-torched companion cube, sitting in the back corner of the shed.
The supercomputer paused for a great deal of time, even though GLaDOS had created testing robots, they failed countless of times of satisfying her "itch". Chell was the only human she knew who manages to keep up with what she dashes out. But still. She wasn't quite sure if she really wanted to accept the offer, not because of the whole Aperture-Facility-Was-About-To-Blow-Up, but because she really didn't want to be shoved into a potato again and be pecked by horrible flying beast again. "Testing? You want to test for the exchange of access back into my facility?" She wanted clarify.
Chell gave a slow nod, waiting for the computer's response, she was desperate and she would almost do anything to have somewhat of a stable shelter, and some food. With that, the door's locks unbuckled itself from concert wall. Chell smiled as she went over to it, waiting for the door to open. "But! Under a few conditions you have to agree to do if I am going to let you in." GLaDOS said, her tone changed as if she had some evil intentions.
Chell didn't care to rethink her options, she really wanted a chance at survival, even if it meant she had to deal with psychotic supercomputer and her elaborate tests. The woman nodded again. "Good." GLaDOS simply said as the intercom popped back into the wall and the door swung open. A cylinder glass elevator ascended from the floor and the glass door slid open. The woman slowly stepped into the tight cylinder-like chamber which would give anyone with claustrophobia nightmares for weeks. When it closed, she looked out towards the small opening of the shed's thin door, seeing the wheat field for what might be the last time and be the last time she would ever visit the surface and see the beautiful blue skies.
'Nothing out there for me anyways' Chell frowned deeply as the elevator descended down back into the depths of Aperture again.
A/N: I know this is pretty short, I will write longer chapters in the future.
