CHAPTER 2

MIND AT SEA

GHOSTS MEMORY STARTS

Ghost walked beside his little one. She smiled, the shining joy within her heart flowed out. His eyes stared noticing how she gleamed with her love for when they traveled. He couldn't understand why. Why was she so happy being around a massive heavy shield of protection. Why she didn't mind the hell and demons that ran among. Why she was so joyful. Why she held onto this found faith.

She stopped noticing the many dead bodies lying around the massive old lounge. Holding onto her dear doll. Ghost walked slowly behind her and groaned loud. She stared back at him smiling then went on seeing and checking through crates. Tables were flipped over. Drinks spilled all across the checkered floor. She grabbed ahold of precious Adam vials and rushed over to him as he grabbed it and placed it into his belt. Ghost felt the joy little by little as the days had gone by. His mind was still dizzy and wondering as it always did.

Giggling she stared into his golden glass visor and smiled. Her childish smile and childish happiness.

"I know Ghost, you miss the land high above "she said

Ghost stared at her.

"I know you miss walking among the people,I know your pain" she said

Ghost padded her on her head with his heavy left hand. Giggling to him. She walked away back to the bar at the end. Walking into the bar she found old liquor bottles, broken crates. She looked and looked searching until she came upon a first aid kit. Ghost walked towards the center and waited looking around. Behind him he looked back holding his drill at the ready for anything.

"Yes! Ghost I got it!"she yelled and rushed towards him

Grabbing ahold of it with his right hand he placed it on his right side of his belt.

"So that we can heal you and get you better, like mommy always told me Medicine is another Mommy" she said

Laughing echoed from down the hall. Ghost quickly grabbed ahold of her and placed her on his back.

"I'm ready Ghost" she said

Ghost's drill was ready as he switched his plasmid from fire to down the hall was the loud screams of Splicers. Gunfire and drilling went on. Ghost didn't even move towards forward he noticed nothing.

Within seconds a Brute splicer bursted from his right hand side and tackled him through the lounge.

"GHOST!"yelled his little sister as she held onto his little sister seat on his back

Ghost struggled to stay standing until both collided into the left hand side wall and dropped from 10 feet above the 2nd floor. The 3 dropped screaming and yelling slamming into the lower floor down below. They smashed into the concrete ground. The brute splicer yelled in anger and rage as he slammed down his fists. Ghost's drill charged on. It pierced through the Brute's chest as it yelled. Other splicers yelled jumping down from balconies.

"GHOST! HURRY" she yelled

Ghost stood back up. Moving on he walked towards the middle and switched his drill to his Big Daddy machine gun. Taking aim he fried forward into various enemies around him as they jumped forward. Some lunged at him as he fired all he could into them. She closed her eyes shutting off the horrible sound of death. Her mind she prayed for this chaos to be over.

"We fight , We move, We survive" she thought

"Ghost the shield of mine, and I his healer, his ally" she continued

She held onto his body's massive air tubes slightly opening her eyes she looked ahead noticing the power to the people station. She smiled and looked back to her right seeing the gunfire splitting through the bodies of the 10 jumping splicers.

Ghost slammed downward his empty machine gun slamming and hitting the jumping splicers. His right hand reached out freezing the many he could at once. She grabbed ahold of the health pack and healed his bloody wound on his back. His body and mind began to feel relieved and he kept on fighting on with all his strength.

The ruins above them began to topple and shake as Ghost moved out of the way. She screamed as rubble dropped onto a charging brute behind them. She stared shocked and frightened as they stood in the center of the dead bodies. In the center of the massive dance floor. Yet the site was to be devastating. They saw her.

"Its big sister" she whispered

Big sister stood on top of the rubble and yelled. Glass windows cracked all around them. Ghost reloaded his machine gun and stared forward seeing the big sister waiting and angered as she stood tall. Pointing towards him her long needle and her surging hand of raging plasmids burned ready. Ghost knew this was her doing. Since the beginning this is what she wanted. A duel against him, a duel against they're survival. To survive this he must do everything he can to win. Big sister yelled. Ghost's machine gun fired forward towards her he ran with all his strength. She lunged forward towards him as she extended her needle and both collided into each other.

GHOSTS MEMORY ENDS

Ghost had stopped walking as he looked down at the doll. His mind was feeling dizzy again. His pain never ending. His sadness began to affect him even more now. Sounds of a swimming whale went off as he then headed onward walking towards a steel door. The steel rusted door had a painted white flower peddle on it.
