The Little room under the stairs chapter 4
Daddy got up and Groaned. I giggled and He groaned some more. His lights in his helmet were green. He scooped me up and twirled me around, groaning. I giggled and kissed his helmet. He sat down, still holding me, and rocked me back and forth on his bed. I sighed and snuggled into his arms. Eleanor dug threw the cupboards and pulled out a few cans of dried berries and some canned ham. She started to fry the ham and the whole room smelled so good! Daddy brushed my long hair into a pony tail and Helped me get into my red dress. It was blood stained and dirty.. but I don't think he cared. Soon, Eleanor handed me a small dish of cooked meat and cream filled cakes with dried berries on them. I ate it all up, much to daddy's surprise ( I never finished a full can of meat by myself)! Eleanor finished the dishes and helped me off daddy's lap. She had all her big sister gear on. She leaned down to me and looked me straight in the eye.
"Emily.. I think it's ok to tell you your Birthday present now, we are going to take Father's armour off his body. That means you'll get to see him as a 'human'" She said. My eyes lit up. I bounced over to daddy and hugged him tightly. He groaned and hugged me back. I giggled. Sister looked at me and picked me up.
"but I'm afraid I'll have to take you to the daycare.. mother Tenenbaum has a surprise for you too" She smiled. I smiled and nodded. I waved to daddy and Eleanor carried me off to the daycare.
She didn't go the same way to the daycare as always. We ended up going to a different room.. someplace I was scared to go to. The little sister's sanctuary. It's a place where little sisters are taken to, once their daddy's free them of the sea slug in our tummies. It means that the daddies have no need for us anymore.. But it also means that bad people won't bother us anymore. I started Crying, right then and there. Daddy didn't want me anymore? But.. why? Why on my birthday? Eleanor quickly took me down from her basket and hugged me. I cried in her arms.
"shh Emily.. It's not what you think it is.. I promise.. This is part of your present... Mother is going to save you.. she's going to make it so no splicers harm you anymore.. so your eyes won't glow and you could look like a normal child again.." I looked Confused... she just hugged me.
"I promise.. you won't feel a thing" mama said from behind me. I just nodded.
Eleanor carried me to a Room. She set me in mama's arms and walked out. I looked at mama.. still sniffling. Mama pressed a hand to my head and soon the world was really really bright. My veins began to glow and my stomach felt really weird. Mama was right.. it didn't hurt. Soon the brightness took over me and I fell asleep. I dreamed...I dreamed I was in the sunlight.. with other little girls. When I woke up.. Everything looked different. I groaned. Mama and Eleanor were both sitting there, looking at me. Mama smiled and said to Eleanor.
"my my.. she's a pretty little one.. isn't she?" Eleanor nodded.
"she always was" I smiled and rubbed my eyes. Eleanor smiled and handed me a Mirror. I looked in it.. and a little girl looked back at me. She had long golden hair and Bright Green Eyes, and pale skin. I smiled up at sister. She scooped me up and set me down on the cold ground. I stumbled a bit .. but Mama held me upright.
I walked out of the little Room before Eleanor scooped me up. She walked me out into the little sister sanctuary lobby. There were a bunch of little sisters surrounding some one. I saw some of my friends.. some I thought were harvested (when a daddy didn't want to give up a little sisiter... they killed them). I smiled and squinted my eyes to see what they were surroding. He looked like a bad person.. but he didn't have a ugly face. He was around 6 foot, With a muscular build and blue eyes and soft sandy blond hair. I got a bit scared and hid behind sister. He didn't look mean.. he was playing and laughing with the other little sisters. Eleanor frowned a bit and whispered to mama.
"is it possible for her hair to get longer? And a different color?" mama shrugged. My hair was at least a foot and a half long. I kept my eyes locked on the strange man. Sister smiled and leaned down to my level.
"would you like to see daddy now?" I nodded and smiled. Eleanor cleared her throat and all the other girls scattered. I finally saw daddy. He smiled at me and leaned down. I backed up a bit, this new daddy wouldn't last long in Rapture.. He wasn't wearing his suit. Eleanor looked at him and sighed.
"don't worry.. he's not going to be out of his suit long.. if he stays in it to long.. He'll get sick and die." She trailed off. I gasped. I ran over to daddy (Micheal) and hugged him. He laughed. It sounded odd.
"It's very very nice to finally talk to you sweetheart" I smiled and hugged him.
"it's very very nice to finally talk to you too daddy" I smiled up at him. I looked around, Sister was no where. Oh well, I thought. I hugged daddy tighter. Soon, I was dragging him around Rapture (under the watchful eyes of sister). When we got the little room, I showed him all my drawings.. and he even drew some too!
This isn't my greatest chapter ever... actually it kinda sucks. I'm starting to get MAJOR writers block... could you guys please please please help me with ideas? It would be amazing if you gave me some long time plot lines (so i can write more chapters.. not just one plot per chapter).
Thanks for all the reviews.. keep 'em coming!
