The noise that was produced by the constant fall of water was the only sound that could be heard in the whole area. A lonely figure was sitting in a pile of debris, staring at the window in front of it. Schools of fish swam by, some seem to be dancing to a silent tune, while others seemed to be wondering around trying to find their place in the big ocean. The teenager stared at the animals behind the window and started humming softly a lullaby to herself. It was a peaceful moment in the city of Rapture, one of the very few peaceful moments that were in that city. There weren't heard any crazy screams, some asking for a merciful death others screaming insanely, nor moaning for desperate people, complaining about what had happened to them or speaking of better time, no, it was silent and peaceful.
A cold and metallic voice filled the whole area, "Big Sister, reported immediately to Persephone." The teenager her raised the head and looked at the megaphone from where the message had come from, jumped from where she had been sitting and took her helmet from the ground. She looked at it, and sighed. She put it on and adjust it.
The light that emitted from the light hole was a soft yellow, the teenager stared at her image in the window, she was tall and skinny, just like most of the inhabitants of Rapture. She walked silently toward one airlock, she didn't notice the splicer that was walking by talking to itself. Suddenly the splicer looked at the Big Sister that was humming to herself as she walk slowly toward the airlock.
"Didn't she pass by about five minutes ago?" he asked to himself. The Big Sister turned and looked at the splicer, he held his breath. The Sister turned and kept walking wondering how could the splicers be so stupid that they didn't realize that there were more than one Big Sister, but she guess it could be because of the abuse of ADAM.
The teenager reached the airlock and pulled down the level, letting the water raised in the small room, she played with the water that was filling the small room. Then again the cold and metallic voice was heard, but this time it didn't come from a megaphone but inside of her helmet, "I repeat, Big Sister reported immediately to Persephone."
The Big Sister gave a sighed and shook her head surely some of the firsts numbers hadn't arrive to Persephone and Dr. Lamb was getting inpatient. When the room was filled with water a back door open letting her go outside of the city. She walked swiftly and slowly, she stopped walking and contemplated the beautiful, yet fallen city of Rapture. Then she stared at her right hand, it didn't have any number on her plate of the glove, at least not yet, she didn't mind not having a number as a matter of fact. That way she didn't have to do all the tedious work that the first numbers had to do, go and kill the splicers, go and look after the Little Sisters, that there weren't much anymore, or go and do whatever Dr. Lamb had in mind. She walked up to the edge of the abyss that contain the facility of Persephone, raised in her tiptoes and propelled herself and started swimming swiftly to the entrance of the prison.
She grabbed the edge of the airlock and pulled herself inside. Once inside she pulled down the lever letting the water out of the compartment. She shook making most of the water fall from her suit and start walking toward the main part of Persephone. She reached it in no time the main lobby, the light of the light hole turned into a bright red and she disappear in a white cloud of smoke, a second later she reappear on top of a skinny figure. The figure had fall into the ground when the Big Sister had landed on top, she raised her extraction needle ready to strike the figure. The extraction needle stopped just a few centimeters away from the figure neck.
"Don't you dare to do that again!" screamed the Big Sister. "Or I swear that I will drain all your ADAM! You are such an idiot!" she finished and jumped off.
The figure that had been on the floor raised and looked into the eyes at the other teenager, "Gee! You needed to find yourself a boyfriend or get a number. I was just playing alright! Don't get mad."
The Big Sister shook her head and the light change again into a soft yellow. "You know I don't like those games, you sneaking behind and jumping, they aren't fun, and you know that!"
"Well they are fun to me," said in a mocking way the Big Sister that had being lying on the floor a few seconds earlier. "Yet this time you were faster than me, I still don't know why she haven't gave you a number."
"I don't know and I really don't care," said the first Big Sister. "I'm fine as I'm, I don't mind not having a number… as a matter of fact is pretty cool, not having to do whatever she wanted you to do, or is it fun number '4'?" she asked with sarcasm in her voice.
The Big Sister number four gave a sigh, "Maybe she had finally decided to give you a number…"
"Nah," said the Big Sister. "She wouldn't be calling everyone for that, something big must had happen, if not why else would she be calling all of us? And as a matter of fact if I would be receiving a number it would be a big one, like twenty-five?"
Number four didn't answer back, she looked at the ceiling just as the other Big Sister did. In that moment another single light hole could be seen making its way to where the two Big Sisters stand. A third Big Sister landed and looked at the two Big Sisters that stood there.
"What's up Six?" said the first Big Sister.
Number six looked at both of the Sisters, "Don't you know?" she said in her calm voice.
"Know what?" asked number Four.
"Is something bad?" asked the Big Sister.
"Five had been torn apart…" said Six quietly.
The two Big Sisters remain quiet, "You mean… that Soledad had been torn into pieces? But how? She was of the strongest of you guys…" said the Big Sister without believing what she had heard.
"Some brute splicers that were desperate for ADAM ambushed her and then well… you know," said Six.
"I can't believe that," said quietly the Big Sister.
"Well it seems that you will get you higher number after all…" said Four to the Big Sister. "Let's keep moving, surely Dr. Lamb is getting impatient." The other two Big Sisters nodded and the three of them started walking to the inner part of Persephone.
The Big Sister couldn't believe what she had just heard, a high number being torn apart by some brute splicers… that was something that one never could even imagine. That must be the reason why Dr. Lamb was calling them, maybe tell them that they shouldn't venture alone anymore. She wondered if the few Little Sisters had something to do with the fact that some splicers had starting to become far more ferocious. As they reach the main part of Inner Persephone she noticed that most of the Big Sisters were already there. She wondered if they had been the last ones to arrive. But it seems that they haven't been.
"Have you seen-," she said to Six. "Neither One or Two have arrive yet, seems like we weren't the last ones this time."
"Really Big Sister?" said another female voice behind her. The Big Sister turned and faced another Big Sister that was slightly taller than the rest of them, she had her arms crossed, just behind her was another Big Sister. "I still don't know how you manage to survive this far, and how could you two," she said eyeing Four and Six, "hanged around her, she doesn't even have a number, and both of you are elites Big Sister, you shouldn't be walking around a simple Big Sister. Such a waste of time" she added with spite.
The Big Sister closed tightly her fist looking straight in the light hole at the newer Big Sister, she knew who she was, she was number One, the most powerful Big Sister that there was, she had not only become the first Big Sister, but had prove so far to be the strongest. She wore the elite fighting suit, along with the Big Sisters that had the numbers from two to seven. The suit was slightly different from the regular Big Sister suit.
"You want to see what a waste of time is?" said the Big Sister with venom.
"Are you challenging me numberless?" mocked number One. "You are such a childish Sister, I would be finished with you in less than five minutes, but not worry I'm not in a mood to get dirty with your blood, so I will let you live a bit longer," she said in a arrogant way.
The light hole of the Big Sister turned into a bright red, "Really? Because that sound that you are actually afraid One. Afraid of a numberless Big Sister, why don't you bring it on old lady, or you are far too afraid that I would kick you in the ass?"
Number One looked at the Big Sister, "You wanted it so badly you will have it, numberless." She raised her extraction needle and was about to jumped just as the Big Sister, but number Two immobilized number One with Telekinesis.
The numberless Big Sister was restrained by number Six and Four. "Hey let me go it will only take me three minutes to kick her ass."
"No, we aren't going to let you get hurt!" said Six. Four didn't say anything, but she was pretty sure that the Big Sister would be the one hurting number One than the other way around.
"Will you all quit that ridiculous behavior and start behaving as the gatekeepers of Rapture?" said finally number Two.
"She was the one that started!" cried out the Big Sister.
"Would you stop acting so childish," said a cold voice. All the Big Sisters turned and stared at the female that was descending the stairs. "You should be ashamed Big Sister, acting as a little girl… Number One I told you to leave the common Big Sisters alone. I know that sometimes they are frustrating but they are part of the Rapture Family," how much the Big Sister hated that Sofia Lamb made a distention between them. "I call up you Big Sisters, because we are facing a problem, the Family is running out of Little Sisters that can provide ADAM. So I have design a plan, one of you will be coming with me to the surface and will abduct little girls so that they can become Little Sisters, and form part of the Family. I will let you know which of you will be coming with me very soon. And just one more thing don't be as careless as number five," she said and walked away. Number One and Two followed her closely behind.
Soon after the murmurs about the surface filled the room and the Big Sisters started walking away.
"How could she said that Soledad was careless?" said the Big Sister.
"Don't get so restless, ok?" said Four.
"How can you said that Riza! She was one of our friends and she just called her careless, like if it had been her fault!" said the Big Sister.
Riza didn't answer back she simply took off her helmet and look into another direction.
"Wondered who she going to take with her?" said casually Six.
"Probably this One or Two, I would be extremely surprise if she decide to take someone else," said Four.
"Yeah, probably," added Six.
The Big Sister stared at the other two, jumped and disappeared from sight. "Wait!" said Six.
"Leave her, Takako" said Riza. "She needs time alone, don't worry she won't be torn apart." Six nodded and started walking toward the entrance of Persephone along side of number Four.
