Half Life 2 Episode 3: Becoming the Monster

Ch 1: the Pain of the Loss

Gordon opened his eyes to see Alyx crying still holding her dead father in her arms. Dog sat next to her trying to comfort her. Gordon sat up and clenched his hands into fists. He could feel the rage coursing through his veins. He looked up to see Alyx screaming and crying horrible pain in her eyes. Her expressions caused his fire filled eyes to be rained out by a storm of tears. After a while the others finally arrived shocked by the horrible seen. Gordon walked over to her putting his arms around her trying to comfort her. The group of resistance members approached slowly. Kleiner, Magnusson, and Barney where up front with citizens in the back. Gordon looked up at them his hurt eyes were glossy with tears that were about to fall down his cheeks. He pressed his head against hers she pressed back in response. Gordon helped Alyx to her feet as they took Eli's dead body away.

Several hours passed and the funeral for Eli was over. Alyx went to her room. "Why?" she whimpered staring at the wall in disbelief. "No... No... No..." she whispered repeatedly. Gordon was in the room next to her listening to her sobbing. He let out a sigh. 'What are we going to do now?' he thought 'They will be back... They will try to kill us... Why did this have to happen now?' Gordon stopped and tried not to think negative thoughts. Once he got a little bit of positive attitude back he heard Alyx's door open.

"what do you want?..." He heard Alyx sobbed quietly.

"I..." Magnusson stammered. "I just wanted to say...That... I'm sorry..."

"Why would you care?..." She asked with a bit of agitation in her sad voice.

"Well..." Magnusson sighed. "It may not seem like I would care but... I do."

"But you'll never understand." She said and started crying again.

"I'm sorry... I-"

"Go away..." She said cutting him off. He heard Magnusson leave and stop at his door for second and then he left. Gordon sighed. 'I swear! I'll kill that damn thing!' he thought feeling the anger coming back. He took a deep breath in hope of calming himself but it didn't work. He couldn't calm down. Gordon felt like he was about to explode with rage. He laid down thinking of all the times with Eli. Soon he fell asleep.

N/A: Wow... Shortest chapter ever! Why is it so short? I have no clue. I think its because I didn't want to start wild in the first chapter. After two months of doing no writing this is what I did... That's sad... oh well. This is my more serious story unlike my Rouge Guardian one. Why I call it that I don't know. So don't ask. Anyways! Talk to ya next chapter! :D
