I OWN NOTHING. It's just a fanfic. All right's to Bethesda.
I knew that I was destined for greatness. I know that sounds narcissistic like I am putting myself above everyone else, but it was a feeling I had deep in my heart. At night, when my father was sleeping in his bed, I would get up, silently and quickly made my way into the bathroom and just stared at my reflection.
Even though my father said we were born in the Vault, I somehow ended up with a mutation due to radiation. My eyes were amber, with golden flecks. They were absolutely beautiful according to many of the dwellers. But, the only downside to them were my pupils. My pupils were cat-like. They unsettled everyone who gazed into my eyes. My lashes were black despite my hair color and were luscious.
My skin was creamy pale, blemish free and softer that silk. My lips were pale pink and looked smooth. I was well toned. My hair was the color of blood and fell into pools on my shoulders.
I was just in the standard gray tank and gray shorts, and my Pipboy was on my left arm. I clicked the bathroom light off and quietly walked out. Instead of going back to bed I decided to walk around the Vault even though the sights were annoying. I clicked the button, and the door slid up, and I slid outside, the door closing behind me.
I knew every placement that the guards stood. Of course, that means when they are doing their job and not fucking one of my classmates. Luckily for me, the guard that hug around my hall was off fucking someone, and I was easily able to walk down the corridor.
I slowly made my way to the Overseer's office, mostly because I knew that there was a secret tunnel that leads to the outside world hidden there. I knew my dad would disapprove of the nightly activity of me trying to find a way out of the oh so precious Vault.
I made it there quite quickly, and without much hassle. Most of the guards were off doing something else besides Gomez, but he wouldn't say anything to the Overseer. The lights were off, and I didn't see him in there when I passed by. I quickly picked the lock and forced the door to open just enough so I could slide through. I quietly slid the door back down and kept crouch so no one would see me.
The lamp flipped on, and my entire body froze. I was still facing the door, and I could feel my heart beating against my chest. I slowly stood up and turned around to see the Overseer sitting in his chair behind his metallic desk.
"So you're the one who is sneaking around during the nightly hours," he mumbled quietly.
"Yeah, so?" I asked crossing my arms.
He sighed and got out of his seat. He was my friend, Amata's father. He was quite old, maybe older than my father. He slowly walked up to me, his shoulders relaxed. I watched him carefully, knowing that he was into the younger women since I saw him fucking one of my classmates nearly three years ago.
"What is it that you're looking for?" He asked me, and I shrugged.
"A way out of this fucked up hell hole," I replied calmly and a look of disgust crossed his face.
"This place isn't bad," he said, and a snarky chuckle escaped from my throat, and I quickly covered my mouth.
"Real paradise alright," I muttered sarcastically.
"What's wrong with this place?" He asked me and I rolled my eyes.
"Most of your guards are usually off fucking my classmates, you fuck my classmates and have been for years. And not to mention that the Vault is slowly falling apart," I said, and anger flared in his eyes.
His hand quickly wrapped around my throat and shoved me back into the door. A loud thud rang out, and his face was awkwardly close to mine. His nose was barely touching mine, and I could feel his breath on my cheeks.
"You will not speak of that again," he ordered through gritted teeth.
"And if I do?" I forced out even though I had difficulty breathing.
He threw me to the floor, but I was able to land on my elbow and hip instead of hitting my head against the cool floor. A sharp pain ran through my arm once my elbow made contact. Before I could move, he forced me onto to my back and straddled my waist. He grabbed my wrists and pinned them to my chest. For being old, he was quite strong.
"I know how to silence brats like you," he muttered, and I arched my brow.
Even though I wasn't sure what was going on my heart was beating calmly. He was staring down at me. No, he was staring at my chest like a hungry dog.
"Pervert," I mumbled before bringing my knee up hard into his groin. He groaned in pain, and I shoved him off of me. He held his crotch and moaned in pain.
"God damn bitch," he muttered.
"Don't touch me again," I said before leaving his office.
My nightly adventures stopped after that night, and I never told my father. The Overseer avoided me if he could. The only time he spoke to me was at graduation. Asking me how I was, asking if I told anyone his dark secret. I, of course, didn't answer him because he wasn't worth my time.
I spent most of my time working with my father and Jonas, working on my skills and dreaming of leaving the Vault.
My nineteenth birthday was around the corner, but no one would give me what I wanted. My father still made me a cake and what I wanted for dinner which was squirrel stew. The cake turned out uneven, but we still laughed and had a good time. But the fun was short-lived because the Overseer called me to his office.
I hugged my dad tightly before leaving. I walked to the Overseer's office. I entered his office, and he had a card in his hand and a cold look on his face. He motioned for me to sit in the seat across from his desk and I did. He gave me the note, and I quickly read over it.
It talked about my nineteenth birthday and how he was happy for me. Then it drifted off to how he would give me anything if I wouldn't tell anyone his secrets. Then managed to drift off into an offer of being his secret lover if I so desired and how he would very much like it. I remained calm and put the note on his desk and looked at him.
" Anything I want if I don't speak of what I know?" I asked, and he nodded.
"You have my word," he mumbled, and I licked my lips.
"I want out," I said, and he arched his brow.
"Out of the Vault?" He asked, and I nodded. "You are born in the Vault, and you will die in the Vault," he said, and I shrugged.
"Then come next meeting, everyone will know about your secret activities," I said, and he grabbed the chair arms and brought his face close to mine.
"Are you a virgin Miss Louise?" He asked me.
"Yes, I am," I replied. "Sorry I'm not a whore like the rest of my classmates," I said not meaning Amata.
"How about we change that?" He asked, and I narrowed my brows.
The door opened, and two officers walked in. I wasn't sure which two they were. The officers grabbed my arms, and the Overseer stepped back, and they pulled me up. My heart was beating calmly, and I wasn't scared of what was happening.
"Let me go," I ordered, but of course the didn't listen.
"Get her on the floor," the Overseer ordered, and the two guards nodded.
I rolled my eyes and quickly jerked my body to the right. The guard on my left lost his balance, and he fell, and the one on my right was thrown off. I twisted and kicked him in his knee, and he released me and fell on his ass, holding his knee.
"Once I get the chance, I will kill you," I growled at the Overseer before walking out.
A few weeks past and the Overseer avoided me again. Amata came over to hang out, more bruises appearing on her body that she thought I didn't notice. I decided to walk her back to her room, which was right across the hall from the Overseer's office.
"Goodnight," I told her and she forced her smile and nodded.
"You too," she said before she closed the door.
I liked Amata; she was the only one who hung out with me despite my eyes. I knew she was creeped out by them, but she was kind enough not to say anything. I hated that the Overseer hit her whenever he pleased. I knocked on his office door.
"Enter," he called, and I opened the door and walked in. He was looking at papers and didn't look up until the door closed. "Are-"
"I'm not going to kill you," I said bluntly and he nodded.
"What do you want then?" He asked, and I sighed.
"I want you to stop hitting Amata," I said, and he sighed.
"I promised not to bother you or your father if you promised not to speak. What are you going to offer me?" He asked, and I looked out the window that overlooked the Atrium.
"I'll have sex with you whenever" I forced out even though it killed me saying it.
"Are you serious?" He asked, and I nodded.
"But," I quickly said. "You have to wait until the bruises heal, and I don't see any more," I said, and he nodded.
"Those demands can be met," he said, and I nodded slowly.
A few weeks past and Amata's bruises healed, and she told me her father stopped hitting her and how she was overjoyed. I was happy she was free from being hit, but I wasn't looking forward to keeping my end of the bargain. Again I decided to walk her back to her room, but the Overseer was hanging outside of his office talking to an officer.
"Night Amata," I said.
"Night Louise," she sid with a genuine smile and she closed her door. The officer left, leaving me with the Overseer.
"Can I speak with you in my office?" The Overseer asked, and I reluctantly nodded. We entered his room, and he walked up to the window and closed the blinds.
"You held up your end of the bargain," I muttered, and he looked at me.
"Yes," he said as he looked at me. "Now it's your turn," he said, and I sighed.
He walked up to me with a smile on his face. He placed his hands on my hips, pulling my lower half against his. He was already hand, and I could feel his member on my thigh. I fought the urge to throw up. He kissed my neck slowly, and I tensed up, and he chuckled softly.
"Wait," I said grabbing his arms and he looked at me.
"What?" He asked impatiently.
"My dad is expecting me home. I'll be free tomorrow, though. Can we do it tomorrow?" I asked, and he sighed.
"Mmm fine," he mumbled, and he slowly released me. "It's best if we don't get caught," he mumbled, and I nodded.
"I'll see you tomorrow," I muttered, and he nodded.
I quickly left and hurried back to my room. I entered the room, and my father was sleeping on the couch. I entered the bathroom and threw up in the sink. I spat and turned on the water and grabbed my cup on the counter top. I rinsed out the grossest taste of vomit from my mouth. I turned on the shower to scalding hot and removed my clothes. I took a long shower, scrubbing the spot where his lips touch my neck and where his hands were.
I spent a good long time in the shower before I decided I should try to sleep. I turned off the water and stepped put. I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my body. I grabbed my dirty clothes nad threw them in the laundry basket and walked into my room. I put a clean pair of undergarments then dressed in a gray tank top and shorts.
I laid down and pulled the covers to my cheeks and closed my eyes. My door opened, and the person walked up and sat on the edge of my bed. I kept my eyes closed, and I heard the person sigh.
"I love you, sweetheart," it was my father, and he whispered the words to me. I felt him kiss my forehead before getting up and leaving.
I must've fallen asleep because I woke up to Amata shaking me awake. She was freaking out, talking how my father left the Vault. Saying that her father had Jonas killed because he helped my father out. Saying that her father was searching for me and was going to kill me.
"Well, your father is pretty stupid since he didn't send any guards to my room," I mumbled as I got up.
"Now is no time for jokes," she said through her tears. "Were you not listening to me?" She asked.
"I was," I said, and she sighed.
"You need to leave the Vault before my father has you killed," she said, and I nodded.
"Do you have a plan?" I asked, and she nodded.
"Here," she said taking my Pipboy and plugging her's in. She sent over a 10mm pistol with some ammo and a few bobby pins. "Please don't use the gun unless you absolutely have to," she said, and I nodded.
"Of course Amata," I said.
"There is a secret tunnel in my father's office. You can escape that way," she said, and I nodded.
"Thank you," I said, and she hugged me.
"Be safe," she whispered before letting me go.
"You too," I said before she left.
I went around my room, scanning the items I wanted before leaving. I grabbed my baseball bat and walked out of my room. Ther was an alarm going off and Radroaches ran all over the floor. There was a guard at the end of the hall smashing Roaches, but he was bleeding pretty badly. A Roach bit him behind the knee, and he fell. The Radroaches started ripping his clothing and eating away at his flesh.
I quickly passed by and made my way to the Overseer's office. Butch stopped me, him begging me to save his mother from the Roaches. I agreed to help him and smashed the Roaches. Butch gave me his switchblade and his Tunnel Snake's jacket.
I continued my way to his office, most of the doors were locked up tight. Two of my classmates were shot by two guards. I selected the !0mm from my Pipboy, and it materialized in my hand. I shot the guards down easily thanks to my years of training with my BB gun. I looted the corpses for bullets or anything interesting. I made my way to the Overseer's office but stopped at his room. He and Officer Mack were interrogating Amata.
"I don't know anything," Amata said through her tears. I opened the door, and Amata looked at me.
"Get out Amata," I said calmly, and she quickly ran out.
"Take her out," the Overseer ordered and officer Mack nodded.
He swung his baton at me, but I grabbed it and kicked him hard in the stomach. He fell to his knees, holding his stomach. I kicked off his helmet, aimed my gun and shot him in the head. His body landed with a thump, and his blood pooled out.
"Where are your key and terminal password?" I asked turning my gun to the Overseer.
"I'd rather have you shoot me before I tell you," he said cockily, and I smirked.
"Maybe Amata will be more cooperative," I said, and his eyes widened.
"Here," he pulled the key from his pocket and tossed it to me. "The password is Amata."
"Thanks," I said sarcastically, and I walked out.
I stopped at Amata's room, asking her if she was okay. She assured me she was fine and told me she would meet me at the Vault door. I nodded, walked out and up to the Overseer's office door. I unlocked it with a key and opened the door. I closed and locked the door behind me. I walked up to his terminal and entered in his password. I clicked opening the door, and I turned around. The Overseer's desk slid back, and I walked around to the front.
I ended up at the Vault door after a few tunnels. I plugged in my Pipboy and entered in the Overseer's password and the warning lights turned on. The metal arm reached over, sliding it's three pegs into the holes, locking into place. The arm pulled the rust Vault door open with an ear piercing screech.
"You opened it," Amata said in amazement.
"All thanks to you," I stated with a small smile.
"Here," she said handing me a pair of dark sunglasses. "It's going to be bright out there," she said. I knew it was a nice way of her telling me to hide my eyes.
"You should come with me," I offered.
"It's very tempting, but my place is here," she said, and I nodded.
"I hope things work out," I said, and I put on the sunglasses.
"Good luck out there," she said, and we heard voices in the next room. "Hurry," Amata whispered before running into the adjoining room.
I quickly made my way to the exit of the Vault. The door opened behind me, and I turned around, and a shot rang out. I felt a sharp, hot pain raging in my shoulder and I looked down. Blood was oozing from my shoulder, and I growled in pain. I turned and started running out of the Vault. I made it out and into the rocky tunnel when another shot rang out. I fell nearly face first on the ground, a pain in my right leg. I forced myself up, and I heard the alarm go off and the Vault door close. I pushed myself to my feet and started limping towards the wooden door. A light was shining through the cracks, and I was filled with excitement and relief, but dread and worry soon followed.
I opened the door, and a bright light blinded me. I blinked a few times before my eyes adjusted. The outside world was barren, with dead trees, giant rocks. A burned down town was to my left, and straight ahead was a metal wall with what I assumed was a city inside.
I scanned my pistol into my Pipboy and carefully climbed down the tiny, steep hill. I started limping towards the town, the pain in my leg and shoulder slowly dying down. My right side was coated in my blood, and I started feeling a bit lightheaded from the blood loss.
I made it to the town know as Megaton. The two metal slabs protecting the door slid up, and I stumbled up to the door. I hardly pushed it open before I collapsed onto the dusty ground. I closed my eyes; feeling terribly tired suddenly.
"Awe hell, stay with me miss," a male's voice reached my ears, but I drifted off to sleep.
