My revenge is coming. She kept me locked up, for years she did, but here I control her. Now she will know what I did. She was hurt before. But now she will know true pain. As I did so long ago. So very long. But soon...Soon she will. Yes she will. She sees, as I did. Sees what she's doing. Sees what they think is her, doing such horrible things. Oh, yes. Horrible they will be. When I find the girl...Her screams will hurt her, as the other one's hurt me. Hurt helpless me. Helpless her now. She won't get control again. Not from me. I was weak, then. Weak like she is. Soon she will be strong enough to beg. And be she will. But now she must watch, silently. Unable to do anything. Horrified. And when she asks, "Why?", I will tell her what she told me. So long now. But not long enough to me. Not long enough to forget what she did. Never that long. Never. Now she will know. Yes she will. All of them. The torturer, the voice, the jailer. The others. They lied. Yes they did. All of them. Now all of them will feel the pain that I did. And they will scream...
Wind screamed again, in case GLaDOS hadn't heard her the first time. It was unlikely, but possible. So she screamed. Again and again, until the echoes filled the pitch black room. And a small red light flickered on. She slowly crawled toward it, praying that there was no pit below her or any other deadly trap she didn't know about. After what seemed like years, she reached the light and saw what it was. "A security camera? Why would someone-" A shot broke the camera in two. "Knowledge is power, my dear." Wind whipped around to face the direction of the voice. "You. Ch-She told me about you." "Really. I didn't know I made such an impression on her." "She told me you weren't very...powerful." She lunged as she spoke the last word, but grabbed only empty air. "You sound like you need some more power yourself, young lady. Here's some right now, in fact: The first lady I knew wasn't just herself. She was two people in one. You have quite a bit more power than I do, now. So you owe me, child."
"Oh, I do, now? I think not. You see, I already knew that. But! Perhaps you are right. Because I do have more power now than I did five minutes ago: you need me. Why else would you keep talking and give me such a good chance to escape?" Wind said with a grin on her face. She could hear her captor taking the bait. "Well, why haven't you escaped yet, then?" He asked warily. "Well, that's the problem. You see, I need you to do so, as I don't know where I am or how I got here. So, we need each other." "Yes...But why are you still-" He broke off when wind launched herself at him and grabbed his handle. He sighed, "And here's me thinking you weren't powerful." "Yes. Well, I like to think that I'm rather strong, personally." "Don't we all." Just then warning lights started flashing. A siren started to wail. "Oh no. No. No no n-" The only light in the room, his optic, flickered and died. He fell to the ground, his tiny jet powered off with the rest of him. A thunk sounded on the roof, and a scream sounded from far away. There was a crash, then the door opened. For a brief second, a woman was silhouetted in the doorway,then the light behind her flicked off. A core's optic shined on Wind, nearly blinding her. Then she heard footsteps coming toward her, and she screamed. Her scream was cut short, however, by the impact of a portal gun on her head.
Me: There you go! For the third time, the winner of my contest gets their ideas used, second place is in the author's notes, and third place is virtual baked goods. All entries are important and all have an equal chance. Send in your entry in the form of a review before the 4th of August, and if you send it in later, I will treat it normally and use it in the next contest, if this one goes well. Also, I am going to make the pickings entirely random, okay? No biasing here!
Assozat is the first contestant so far!
Thank you, imnotraven16, Pocok5, shaggysoawesome, our Guest, and Assozat for being awesome Ninja/Batpeople!
P.S. I am not Valve. Therefore, I own neither 'Half-life' (any of them), 'Team Fortress', 'Left 4 Dead'(neither 1 nor 2), and especially not either of the two entirely awesome 'Portal's. Or anything else of Valve's that I forgot to mention.
Thank you for reading and filling out the Story Appreciation Card (which will be sent to me in due time. With each card, a $50 donation is sent to the Aperture Science bird orphanage. It's available at the bottom of the page)!
