Papa's Snowflake
Chapter 2: Seen through a Child's Eyes
(Elsa's POV)
Elsa was sleeping.
The little girl was resting herself on a small but surprisingly comfortable bed and did not wish to end her slumber. But eventually, she found herself raising her tiny frame up out of the covers she had hidden under in her sleep. The platinum haired girl let out a tiny yawn as she rubbed the drowsiness from her eyes.
When she was done she opened her eyes and found herself in silent awe of the world around her.
The walls and floor of her small room were an icy blue color, and sliver tinted lights made everything shine like diamonds. The bed she was in had elegant patterns colored blue and the metal frame was shaped in the form of a snowflake. The small rug of her room was snow white and littered with several toys for her to play with. An elegant white door could be seen on the wall opposite of where the girl's bed lay.
The little girl couldn't help but smile at the beauty of the room she had awakened in.
"Pretty." She thought aloud, completely unaware of a deep haunting moan that accompanied her vocalized thought.
Shortly after stating her thought the door opened to reveal a handsome man dressed in a tuxedo suit complete with white dress shirt underneath and a red bowtie; his hands were covered by white dress gloves that went perfectly with his suit.
A short well-groomed beard covered the man's face and his brown eyes were hidden behind thick-framed spectacles. His brown hair was short and was connected to his beard by two side-burns on the side of his face.
When he saw her he gave her a brief look of shock before putting on a disarming smile.
"I see you've woken up," he said with a calm baritone voice. "My name is doctor Freemen, can you tell what your name is little girl?"
He seemed very polite and nice so Elsa didn't see the harm in telling him.
"Elsa," she told him.
Doctor Freemen continued to smile as he nodded his head at the information.
"That's a very pretty name," he commented causing Elsa to smile brightly from his simple compliment.
"Thank you," she replied.
Elsa then noticed something behind the doctor's legs. Curious to what it was, she craned her neck to the side in an attempt to get a better look. Freemen noticed her action and looked behind him, still wearing his calm smile.
"It's alright," he told whatever was behind him. "Come out and say hello Eleanor."
Elsa watched as a little girl, (about her age) stepped out from behind the doctor's legs. She was wearing a beautiful white dress (almost identical to the blue dress she had woken up in), but that was it. Her hair was brown and had been tied into two little pigtails behind her shoulders. But what caught Elsa's attention were her eyes.
They were completely yellow and had a magnificent glow to them that she couldn't help but find pretty. It made her wonder if her own eyes glowed as beautifully as this girl's eyes.
Her thoughts about her eyes were interrupted when Doctor Freemen spoke again.
"Elsa," he said. "I would like you to meet Eleanor, your sister."
Elsa was utterly shocked by his simple statement. But it stunned her only for a moment. Before she knew what she was doing Elsa rushed off the bed and embraced Eleanor in a big hug.
Without hesitation, Eleanor returned her newly dubbed sister's hug with equal enthusiasm.
They let go of each other after about 10 seconds, but still held each other's hands as they smiled brightly at each other.
"Hello Eleanor I'm Elsa," Elsa quickly introduced. "We are going to have so much fun together!" She predicted with a squeal of delight before bouncing up and down with excitement from the mere thoughts of what she and her sister would experience together.
Eleanor followed Elsa's lead and started bouncing with her. Equally if not more so excited by the same thoughts.
Their attention was brought back to the doctor when he made a coughing sound to bring their focus back to him.
"I'm sure you two will have a fabulous time together," he said, still wearing the same smile he came in with. "But before you can do anything you two need to go to class," he told them garnering confused stares form the little girls.
"Class?" They asked simultaneously. Both had let go of the other's hands and turned their full attention to Doctor Freemen.
He nodded in acknowledgment to their question. "Yes class," he confirmed. "It's where you will learn how to be a good girl."
This caused both siblings eyes to light up.
"I want to be a good girl!" Eleanor cried out in excitement.
"Me too, me too!" Elsa proclaimed bouncing up and down.
"Then follow me, I'll take you to where class is being held." Doctor Freemen answered as he began walking out the door with the excited girls in tow.
Eleanor began to run ahead of the doctor in her desire to get there as soon as possible, but Elsa quickly grabbed her arm to halt her sprint.
"We need to stay with Doctor Freemen Eleanor, or we might get lost." Elsa explained to her sister who gave a small huff of annoyance at having to wait, but other then that did as her sister had instructed.
As the trio walked through the beautiful hallway, Elsa turned her attention to the many portraits lining the walls.
They were all framed and all of them had an illustration of a little girl holding a strange needle. Some of them had her sitting next to people who were lying down. Others had her accompanied by a large man in a full body suit, wearing what (to Elsa) looked like a bizarre fish bowl. Another was of the girl looking up into a type of vent, and next to it was her climbing into the vent.
The portraits also had words above the pictures they depicted. 'Always stay close to a friend', 'Hidey hole', and 'Good girls gather'. Elsa didn't really understand what the pictures were trying to say, but she guessed they were important rules or guidelines that she would need to follow.
Eventually, the doctor led them to a beautifully crafted double door. The door itself was covered in an assortment of winter themed patterns from snowflakes to snowmen.
Before opening the door, Doctor Freemen looked back at the two girls with the calm half smile he'd worn since Elsa had met him.
"Now go on you two," he encouraged them. "Class is just about to start."
And with those words the two sisters rushed into the room, eager to learn how to be the best good girls they could be!
"It's been two weeks since the girls, Elsa and Eleanor, began their training as little sisters and I must say I'm shocked by their progress. They listen to their instructors with complete focus and quickly grasped what they needed to do when they find a corpse full of ADAM. But what strikes me as odd is the bond they seem to share. During gathering test, Eleanor was no different than the other little sisters, running right towards the corpse without an ounce of caution. But when we tested Elsa, she would look around for anything suspicious, and when nothing presented itself she would approach the corpse slowly and cautiously like she knew she might be attacked. Even more interesting, instead of jabbing over and over again until she found a blood vessel like most little sisters; Elsa scrutinized the body thoroughly before finding a good area to extract the ADAM from. We put Elsa and Eleanor together for one of the tests, and noted that whenever Eleanor tried to run to the corpse Elsa would rein her in and they would both advance together. The possibilities of this behavior would be very beneficial for ADAM collection and the protector program. If we bond two little sisters with similar behavior to a protector it could reduce sister loses by a vast margin. I've talked to Alexander about applying my theory and while he was hesitant at first I was eventually able to persuade him to bond the two to one protector. We've already got the protector ready. Subject Delta, I believe was its designation."
Audio Diary of Doctor Gordon Freemen
(Elsa's POV)
Elsa was running for her young life.
Earlier in the day, Doctor Freemen had brought Elsa and Eleanor with him into a strange room where another man was waiting for them. He introduced himself as Doctor Gilbert Alexander. He explained to the two girls that he was here to get them ready for a meeting with someone very important.
This had naturally gotten the girls very curious towards the identity of the V.I.P they were going to meet. But instead of answering their questions to who the person was, Doctor Alexander simply told them they needed to get ready and motioned for them to lay down on the two beds in the rooms center.
The two doctors then proceeded to place strange masks on Elsa and Eleanor's faces. Before either child could ask what the purpose of the masks they quickly became drowsy and fell asleep.
And as quickly as she had fallen asleep, Elsa found herself waking up in what was quite possibly the scariest hallway her young altered mind had ever had the misfortune of seeing.
Terrified and uncertain as to where she was Elsa began to venture down the nightmarish corridor. Her bare feet producing slapping like echoes that bounced throughout the abandoned hall.
After what must have been hours of constant walking, Elsa finally reached the end of the hallway.
Only for her to find a mysterious door at its end, curiosity gripped the usually cautious and careful girl as she reached for the doorknob and slowly turned it.
Upon hearing the click that signaled it was open, Elsa slowly opened the door.
Only for the little girl to immediately regretted her foolish decision.
Elsa was horrified by the image that greeted her eyes. The pitch-black monster behind the door had its hunched back facing the girl and was making terrible flesh ripping noises. A terrified expression frozen on her face, Elsa slowly tried to back away from the beast in front of her. In her horrified stupor, she failed to notice the puddle that she inevitably stepped in.
SPLAT!
The monster stopped its movements and quickly turned toward the offending sound, causing it to lock its gaze on Elsa.
Elsa's blood ran ice cold now that she had a view of its face.
The beast's face roughly resembled a person's, if the person had no nose, large soulless white eyes and a maw of razor sharp teeth covered in blood and gore.
The shadow beast then turned its entire body towards the paralyzed girl, causing her to see what it had been so preoccupied with eating.
Elsa screamed at what she saw.
In the monster's large clawed hands was her sister Eleanor. Her stomach and throat had been ripped open viscously and her intestines were hanging out from her gore-covered body. Her eyes, once full of life and joy, were now gazing vacantly at her Elsa, completely empty.
Excited by the child's scream, the monster let loose a terrifying shriek that caused Elsa's stunned mind to wake up and realized the immediate danger present to her.
Her heart beating hard in her chest, and tears streaming down her pale face, Elsa ran for her little life.
The monster quickly gave chase to the girl, dropping its previous meal unceremoniously onto the ground with a wet splat.
Elsa dared not look behind her in fear of seeing what she knew was happening.
The beast was closing in fast.
Elsa then suddenly found herself tripping on some unknown force before falling face first onto the stone floor below. She turned around on the floor and once more regretted her decision.
The beast was just second from catching her, and with no avenue of escape available to her Elsa did the one think she could.
Raise her small arms over her head; close her eyes and scream for help as the beast made one final leap towards the doomed child.
…. Only the beast never reached her.
Confused, Elsa opened her eyes to see why the monster had not devoured her small body.
The sight before Elsa left her breathless.
A being, a giant man who seemed to be made of pure light had grabbed the monster by its throat and held it high in the air. The monster tried to claw and bite at the man but it couldn't find purchase. The man of light then lifted the monster higher into the air before bringing it smashing down onto the floor under it. The beast began mewling from the pain but was quickly silenced when the man brought what appeared to be a drill down onto its face.
Elsa watched as the beast's body began to jerk and flinch sporadically in response to having its head crushed by the man of light.
Then, seeming satisfied that the creature would not rise again he turned his attention to Elsa.
Paralyzed with fear, Elsa simply lay there and stared as the man calmly approached the fallen child. Elsa could see the drill that he had used to slay the beast was covered in a black liquid that slowly dripped off it onto the floor below it. His footsteps echoed loudly with each step he took towards her.
He finally stopped only a few feet from Elsa before he went down onto one knee and extended his left hand to the frightened girl.
Elsa stared at the offered hand, and for some reason felt compelled to take it. The giant radiated a calm, protective feeling that was very unexplainably alluring to the little girl.
Elsa slowly extended her hand to grasp his open palm. As her small hand was engulfed by his massive hand Elsa started to smile.
Elsa suddenly felt at ease, her fear had left her and all she could feel was the strange protective feeling of love that came from the light comprised giant.
Elsa was safe, she was happy she was…
Awake.
Elsa realized she was lying down on the same bed she had been told to lie on by Doctor Alexander.
'It's was all a dream?' She thought confused.
Elsa then heard a little moan coming from her right. She looked over and saw her sister Eleanor had woken up too.
Elsa quickly hopped down from her bed and raced over to the one her sister had been sleeping on. Eleanor, still trying to wake up was unprepared for the sudden weight that crashed into her side and squeezed her tight while making mewling noises. It took her a few moments to notice how cold the mass was and that the mewling were cries of relief. Eleanor then looked over and recognized that the mass was in fact her sister Elsa.
Upon recognizing who was hugging her, Eleanor gladly returned the hug. After several minutes into the embrace the two children released their grip on each other.
"Elsa, why are you crying?" The younger girl asked, concern evident in her distorted young voice.
Elsa rubbed the tears in her eyes away with a quick sniffle.
"I had a bad dream," she began. "There was a big black-"
"Monster?" Eleanor finished for her.
Elsa's was open in shock and her eyes went wide when her sister finished her statement.
"Y-yes," she confirmed. "But how did you know about the monster?"
"I had the same dream." Eleanor told her. "Did the shiny giant save you from the monster too?"
Elsa could only nod at the question. This didn't make any sense to her. How could Eleanor have the same dream as Elsa did?
"Don't worry Elsa," a voice from behind them said. "The dream you both shared is there to tell us you are ready."
The girls quickly turned their heads around to see Gilbert Alexander looking down at them.
"Ready for what?" Elsa asked.
He smiled. "To meet a very important person."
The girls turned around again as they heard the doors behind them open to reveal something neither girl was expecting.
(Delta POV)
Subject Delta woke from his artificially induced sleep with an animalistic groan.
He felt… different, like he was connected to something. He didn't know what it was but it pulled at Delta, urging him to rise and follow wherever it led him.
Delta rose to his feet and set out to discover what this connection was pulling him towards.
He passed several people as he walked: doctors, nurses, and interns; even a janitor who quickly jumped out of Delta's way just in the nick of time. Delta eventually reached a pair of doors and could feel that whatever was pulling him was behind them. He walked up to the automated doors, which slid open to allow him entrance into the operating room.
Inside the room were three people. One was a small man with a little black toothbrush mustache and slightly thinning black hair (combed backwards), wearing a brown suit.
But Delta did not pay attention to him.
Delta was currently focused on the two little girls, sitting together on one of the operating tables that were staring at him.
Before he could do anything, the little brunette girl jumped down from the table, ran up to Delta and hugged his left leg.
"DADDY!" The girl exclaimed joyfully as she embraced Delta's leg, causing him to stagger slightly from the sudden action.
'Daddy,' Delta thought to himself. 'Yes that's right, I'm her father.' Delta placed his left hand on his daughter's head, slowly and lovingly rubbing it.
His daughter then lifted her head up, (causing Delta to remove his hand from her scalp) and looked right up at him.
She was so beautiful. Her smile was wide and full of little white teeth, the corners of her mouth formed adorable dimples; but what caught Delta's attention were her glowing golden eyes.
"P-papa?" a small, nervous voice brought Delta's attention away from the girl attached to his leg and the other child in the room.
She wore a dress similar in design, but different in color to his daughter's. While she had a white dress, this young girl's was blue. Her hair was different as well. Instead of the brown pigtails the girl on his leg had, the blue dressed girl's hair was an amazing platinum color and was tied up into a small bun behind her head.
But just like his golden-eyed daughter, Delta found his attention drawn to the girl's glowing eyes.
Her beautiful, ice blue eyes.
Before Delta could be lost in them however he realized what the girl had asked him.
'Yes,' he thought once more. 'She is my daughter too. They are both my daughters.'
Her nervous stance alerted Delta to her uneasy towards the situation. So, Delta gently pried his golden-eyed daughter from his leg and and kneeled down onto the ground. He then opened his arms wide to the girl, inviting her to embrace him.
He did not have wait long for her response.
His platinum headed daughter rushed into Delta's arms and embraced her father.
"Papa." She whispered as tears of joy leaked from her eyes. Delta rubbed her back in efforts to calm his distressed daughter.
"Hey!" Another voice exclaimed. Delta and his blue-eyed daughter turned left to see his other daughter glaring at them with an adorable pout on her face.
"I want to hug Daddy too!" She proclaimed loudly.
Delta obliged, opening his arms to allow the other child to nuzzle up to his chest.
She wasted no time and practically teleported into his fatherly embrace.
With both children happily wrapped in his arms, Delta felt a new urge inside him. He wanted to protect these girls, to guard them, care for them, and make them happy.
'I am their father,' he thought to himself.
'And I will not let anything harm my daughters.'
