AN: Sorry for the long wait, seriously I need to make a system or something. This chapter is getting back to the serious side of things. Oh and if any of you haven't guessed it yet Eleanor's Darkness is actually the musical score that plays at the end of Bioshock 2 when you get the bad ending. I loved it! ~Cryoshock123~

Eleanor's Darkness

Chester lead Eleanor to a bus stop, even though the water park was not that far away they still needed to take some form of transportation to get there. The bus drove up to the curb and they entered. While they sat in their seats waiting for their next stop Chester was still trying to figure out why a girl like Eleanor would want to do anything with him. He wasn't really that popular at school…not that he really cared about what others thought of him. It was just strange to meet someone that actually didn't care about those kinds of things either.

'Well wait, lets not jump to conclusions.'

Chester thought to himself. School started tomorrow and it wasn't uncommon for him to make a 'friend' one day and then when he goes back to school the next day his so called 'friend' practically ignores him or hurls a couple of insults at him. He hoped that it wouldn't end up like that but if it did who cares right? Chester absently wondered if Justin's folks knew what happened to him. Should he be going out and having fun at a water park with a girl that he hardly even knows at a time like this? His best friend just died for Christ sake!

"Are you ok Chester? You look a little…under the weather." Eleanor asked. Chester turned to Eleanor and tried to find any hints of deception, he was very good at figuring out if someone was lying to him or trying to deceive him in some way. He couldn't find anything. The eyes are the windows to the soul and he couldn't find anything deceitful about her eyes, it was like they were veiled in a shroud of innocence. Was Eleanor Lamb really that innocent?

"Um, Chester are you ok?" Eleanor asked. She took the back of his head and gently leaned his forehead into hers. Chester's eyes widened and he gulped.

"W-what a-are you d-doing?" He stuttered out. Eleanor just looked at him with those innocent eyes.

"I'm just checking your temperature. You look like you have a fever…your turning red, see you are sick!" Chester gulped once more and backed away.

"I'm not sick! I just get…heat flashes, yeah that's it!" Chester said. Eleanor cocked her head to the side and shrugged.

"Well…ok then." Eleanor replied. Chester sighed, he really had to work on his people skills. Chester looked to the seat next to Eleanor to find a backpack.

"Hey Eleanor, is that your's?" He asked. Eleanor nodded her head. He honestly didn't notice that she was carrying the thing all this time. He thought he would've noticed earlier.

"What's in it?" He asked curiously.

"Nothing." Eleanor answered coldly. Chester was surprised by the tone of her voice. Just a second ago she sounded so innocent that you couldn't even imagine her harming a fly but now…it sounded like if you got on her nerves that she would slit your throat without a second thought. Chester quickly nodded his head and let the topic go.

Eleanor sighed and looked out the window next to her. Her eyes were getting more and more accustomed to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. The city reminded her so much of Rapture…it was kind of weird. She half expected a fish to come swimming past her window. Eleanor zipped her head to the left, she thought she saw something…but it couldn't be…could it? Eleanor shook her head, obviously she was seeing things. After years of living in Rapture you never stop watching your back and you learn to be paranoid, this was going to take some getting use to.

"What the hell…is that?" Chester asked. Eleanor looked to where he was pointing and her eyes widened as a huge dark figure closed in towards the side of the bus and fast. Eleanor could make out the familiar sight of a metal suit of armor. The figure collided with the side of the bus, thankfully she and Chester were on the opposite side, some of the other passengers however weren't so lucky. The huge metal creature hit the bus with so much force that the bus lost control and skid along the road. It crashed into two other cars which caused it to flip over on its side. Chester yelled out but he was quickly silenced when his head collided with the window behind him with enough force to crack it. Eleanor's vision was blurred and her head hurt.

'What the hell was that? That couldn't have been a-'

A large metal boot crashed through the side of the bus, making a whole large enough for a giant gloved hand to reach inside. The hand tried to grab Eleanor but she managed to crawl away from its reach and it accidentally grabbed one of the other passengers. The blond haired female screamed as she was pulled through the hole, she begged for someone to help her but her pleas for help went on deaf ears. All was silent…until a terrified scream rang through the air and blood started to pour down the hole she was pulled through. She heard a groan of annoyance and the giant started to make the hole bigger, using its bear hands. Eleanor's eyes widened when she got a better look at the thing.

"Alpha Series."
