Well, here is Chapter 8. I noticed that in my first chapter, That I didn't clear it well, that Ellie's new eye, is indeed a eye, not bionic. It's the future, anything can happen can't it?
Chapter 9, will be up shortly, promise this time...
Thank You italian0stephan0 for being my beta, and getting my mind back on track. You should check out his(-I fixed it..) story Dead Space 2:Outcast. It is amazing as well.
I don't own dead space, but keep you greedy hands off my Heather, she is mine.
Ellie had in mind to find an apartment, somewhere safe where they can talk about their next move.
Isaac had his plasma cutter at the ready for any necromorphs ready to leap at them. The Hurgo was already covered in think amounts of blood, on the walls, floor, and peculiarly enough, the ceiling. What Isaac found more peculiar, is that he had not seen any survivors. Maybe I should ask Ellie if she has seen any, he thought to himself.
"Hey, Ellie?" Isaac questioned, still alert.
"Hmm?" She hummed back. She was, of course, as ready as ever, Isaac noticed after noticing that her trigger finger was shacking.
Is she...scared? He thought in his mind again. He had never noticed her being frightened, ever. Well, this was at least what he noticed. He knew Ellie well. Like a book, he could read her. But this was foreign to him.
"Umm..." He stumbled to remember his question but regained himself when she finally turned around to look at him when he didn't continue.
"Oh, have you seen anyone yet?" He asked her, looking into her eyes as he nodded forward, as an indication to keep moving ahead.
"Well, no, but I have seen dead people," She said sarcastically to him, as always.
"I mean alive ones," Isaac said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Oh well, no," Ellie said, being serious this time hearing Isaac's tone. "Here we are..." Ellie said looking at a door to her left.
" And here is?" He asked her, examining the door which, of course had blood smeared on it. He listened closely to hear if there was anything inside that could possibly be a threat.
"An apartment, this one in particular happens to be either the pilot's or captains. I figured it would be safer, they have reinforced precautions for any emergencies on board," said Ellie, putting her hand on the knob, getting ready to turn it and meet anything that could possibly be on the other side.
"Why is that?" Isaac asked her looking puzzled. Ellie opened the door and they both took point with their cutters, looking around, ready to fire. After they saw that there was nothing out of the ordinary, they both lowered there weapons, closed the door behind them, and locked it.
"They do it for safety." Ellie said turning to Isaac who was still tense.
"How come?" Isaac asked, relaxing a bit.
"Isaac, when people are trapped in confined places for so long, their screws start to come loose," Ellie said giving Isaac a look that told him that she was being a smart ass.
"So what do we do now?" Isaac asked as he looked around for anything useful, while avoiding saying anything else that would make Ellie mad. When Ellie gets mad, she's MAD. The pair had, had a fight once that escalated into something really pissing Ellie off. That came to her not speaking to him for 3 days.
"Well, let's try to get in contact with someone. I think we should head back, maybe get someone to help." Ellie opinionated, watching Isaac take a seat on the bed.
"But the time it would take to leave, recruit more people, and make it back to the Hurgo, the marker will only become stronger."
"But, do you want to fight this thing alone? It could be the center of the markers for all we know." Ellie said to him.
Ellie was right. They had no idea what this one was possibly capable of.
"LANGFORD!"
An angry British woman shouted through the screen that popped up in front of Ellie. Isaac and Ellie both jumped at the sudden outburst, but the screaming didn't end there.
"WHERE THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU?" She screamed at Ellie. It, of course, was her captain. Ellie swore that woman was always on her period, all the time.
"We're in the Hurgo, I found Isaac."
"Well, give me your location!" She yelled again. Isaac felt bad for Ellie having to deal with this, so he stepped in the frame and spoke, to relive Ellie. Ellie promptly walked over to the bed and collapsed onto it, exhausted.
"We will be coming back promp-" but Isaac was cut of again by the screaming Brit.
"Stay put! We have reinforcements coming; I'll be in the fist ship that you see. The others are behind me. Now stay safe, I can't be scraping your guys' guts off the walls to bring you home." She said and ended the transmission.
"Well, there's our answer as to what to do." Ellie said as she sent there coordinates to the captain.
"Now, we wait." Isaac said walking over to Ellie and sitting next to her, grabbing her waist and pulling her closer to him. This would be the first time they have been alone all day, or possibly 2 days? Whatever it could be, Isaac pondered. Ellie stretched her head up to Isaac, to kiss him gently, and then pulled away. Isaac however, cuffed her face with his hands, not letting her escape. He worked his jaw against hers slowly. Ellie pushed her chest up allowing more access to Isaac. After the long kiss, Isaac finally pulled away and leaned his head against hers. Both were gasping for breath.
"I love you." Isaac said to her. What he said was completely true. He really did.
"You silly bastard," She said with a giggle and returned to kiss him again.
"I love you too." She said to him as she broke away.
Some time later
Isaac and Ellie had been waiting in the apartment for at least 10 minutes until their kissing session was finally interrupted by Ellie's captain once again.
"I'm almost there; get you asses out here, both of you!" She said through the transmission, until it was once again was ended by her.
Isaac and Ellie glanced at each other, and walked out to the hall. The apartment was at the dead middle of the hallway, so they walked down it, cautiously and quietly, plasma cutters at ready. They turned the corner to find Ellie's captain waiting at the end of the hall. Suddenly, she quickly turned to the sound of Isaac and Ellie approaching, pistol raised, and started shooting.
"HEY WHOA STOP!" Isaac yelled at her, while shielding Ellie with his backside to the cascade of bullets fired from the gun.
"Oh it's you guys," She said, "Get the hell over here." Isaac relinquished his tight, protective hold on Ellie and the pair walked over to her, hand in hand.
"So will the others be here shortly?" Isaac asked, finally reaching her.
"They'll be here soon enough. And get your hands of my pilot, pretty boy, she's still on duty." She spat, spotting their hands intertwined. Isaac split away regrettably, soon missing the warmth from Ellie.
"Good, now we should go meet them, there is a flight deck near here," Ellie's captain, said as she turned from the couple and started walking away.
"Sorry," Ellie whispered to Isaac with a slight laugh in her voice.
"It's fine honey." He replied, leaning down to kiss her gently on the forehead with a smile.
Once the trio reached the ship that the captain had used, they all went aboard.
"Hey, Ellie, go look at the ship controls, while me and the engineer," she motioned to Isaac informally," will look to see if any damage was taken on the outside during the landing process." The captain said, walking out the door.
"Don't you think we should stay together?" Ellie said.
"NO! Now get to work Langford." Isaac and Ellie gave each other the same worried look as Isaac left Ellie to do what she had been ordered.
Once Isaac caught up with the captain, she was looking over the hull of the ship, with a pistol in hand.
"So, I never got your first name, what was it exactly?" Isaac asked.
"Patty" She said to him coldly.
"Well, you already know my name," Isaac said with a small laugh.
"I wasn't finished," She spat, "My name is Patty Hover, an EarthGov undercover agent." At first Isaac thought Patty was merely kidding, but a sense of fear struck him when she continued, "I knew you and Ellie were here all along. I have been waiting for the perfect moment to finally finish the pair of you fugitives off, and now, here's my chance." She said with a sick twisted smile. Patty slowly raised the pistol to point it directly at Isaac's chest. "Poor Ellie won't know what really happened to her precious boyfriend, while I, of course, would have witnessed it all. Necromophs attacked the pair of us unexpectedly, and by the time I fought them off you had already been killed. Won't that be just tragic?" Isaac sensed his plasma cutter, faithfully attached to the side of his leg, but he knew it would be stupid to try and reach for it. Patty continued her speech, "I go to the ship to try and take off before more of them show up, and who would have thought. Necromorphs had killed Ellie as well," Isaac felt a rush of anger at the woman in front of him and yet he hand still remained in the air, "It's a shame really. I was soooo fond of the pair of you. Anyways, time to die Mr. Clarke." Isaac quickly moved aside as the first shot Patty fired whizzed past him, missing Isaac barley. The next round hit Isaac square in the stomach, sending him backward groaning in pain, The next hit his right arm, knocking his plasma cutter, that he had attempted to draw, away and knocking Isaac down completely. Patty walked over Isaac and mocked him.
"Aww, poor you, your miserably life is finally over. Now you can join your precious Nicole." She pointed her pistol at Isaac's head, Isaac closed his eyes hopelessly. He suddenly heard a few plasma cutter shots, but no pain.
He opened his eyes to find Ellie and Heather firing quickly at their captain.
Ellie was the one to make the final shot that hit Patty in the neck, killing her, of course. She immediately rushed over to Isaac.
"Are you alright?" She asked with so much worry in her eyes, and even, could it be, tears? A single drop glistened down from her left eye. Isaac learned up, despite the pain, and Ellie quickly hugged him tightly, "I'm so glad your okay." She said to him.
"Awwwww" Heather said in the background, being joined by the others. Ellie looked up and smiled, as Isaac rolled his eyes. Ellie helped him up and gave him some med-packs for his RIG to heal him.
