Chapter 1
"Hey Anna, don't run off by yourself okay." A young boy says to an eight year old girl with black hair, sapphire eyes, a white dress and red shoes. She turns around and replies, "Come now big brother. We can't miss the fireworks." He smiled and followed as they entered a giant crowd of people. They looked up into a glass dome shielding them from the ocean's weight. Buildings all around and lights shimmer through the watery field. All manner of sea creatures dance in the current while playing their games. On every structure, there was a glowing sign showing the businesses of the local tycoons. The companies built on the belief that ever man will earn what they work for. So says the founder of this great city. The founder, Andrew Ryan, sought freedom from the avarice that tainted the world above. He sought a place far from hypocritical eyes and a world to which freedom was never questionable but enjoyed. Here in the city of Rapture, every man is entitled to what he earns through hard work and perseverance. This is the call that drew many from the surface to this place. Our father was a poor blacksmith in our hometown until he was invited by Mr. Ryan himself. I was only 5 at the time and my little sister Anna was born a year after arriving. We looked closer toward the center of the room to two performers shooting lightning between each other. Another amazing wonder are Plasmids. This wonder concoction allows the user to have amazing powers. I've always wanted to try it but, my father told me to never use it. I finally caught up to Anna as she awed at the show.
"Wow big brother, that's amazing. I want superpowers." she said giddy.
'Don't we all.' "What power would you want Anna?" She put her finger on her chin and hummed as she thought hard about her answer.
"I know. I would want the power to be invincible." I laughed and I asked, "Why do you want that?"
"So, when I fall off the slide it won't hurt and mommy won't have to worry about me." she smiled.
"I can't argue with that." Anna grabbed his hand.
"Big brother, what power would you want?" 'I honestly have no clue. What would I want?' I looked at the performers again. 'That would be a cool power.'
"I would say to control electricity." Anna looked at me with the 'Why face?' "It will be an awesome power and I could do so many cool things with lightning at my fingertips."
"That's so amazing. When I get older, I'm going to have my own powers." Said Anna with a huge smile on her face.
'Yeah, it will be amazing but, is it really all that good. Something this good can't be all well and fine.' At that moment, a small metal rocket was zooming through the water above the dome. It exploded and a cloud of purple smoke wows the crowd. Multiple rockets converged in the center, and all kind of colors melded into a dazzling display. The crowd awed at the show and every eye was on the sky.
"Wow, this is the best big brother. I love living here." 'It's definitely a great city but, it always feels like anything could destroy this way of life. I remember the surface world and the joy I felt living in the fresh air. Well, maybe this way of life can continue on unscathed.'
Suddenly, a rocket flew toward the direction of dome. It seemed like it was going to explode before making impact. However, it drew closer and before we knew it the dome shook. The scene turned deadly as water and glass rained down into room. The people scattered and screamed as they rushed toward the closest exit.
"Come on Anna. We have to get back to mom and dad!" I grabbed her hand as we fought through to safety. It was a horrible sight as glass fell and killed multiple people. I tried as hard as I could to keep Anna from seeing the horrific event but, I could see the fear in her eyes. We made it to the bathysphere station and it was pure chaos. I could see we were nowhere near getting out of there. The crowd pushed to be the first on and to safety. Behind, you could hear the rushing water getting closer. Suddenly, another explosion and I fell to the ground. The next thing I saw was darkness. "Big Brother!" I heard Anna scream. That was it and I prayed everyone would be okay before all was quiet.
