New chapter and finally Marc will meet Elizabeth (yay!). Finally I reached this moment from the game... Hope you enjoy the chapter!


When finally I reached the Monument Island, I noticed two things: the first is that the place was completely deserted. The second, and that made me nervous, was the place had signs stating "DANGER! Do not approach to the specimen" or "12 quarantine past this point". If it was such a dangerous place, why lock her in there?

I entered to a room with a blackboard marking a diagram showing the height of the girl since she was a little girl until she was 17. The next room was really weird, it looked like a laboratory: in the center there was a showcase with three containers and levers. Up form it there were several units of tesla with electricity, forming an arch around the room. I looked curiously at the containers and saw a teddy bear, a book and a cloth with blood... In the last one, there was a note: "Age 13 – Menarche".

'Did they really keep her…?' - That was... Okay, forget it. I activated the lever out of curiosity and a tesla from top sent an electric shop. Surprisingly the fabric turned white. It was very strange... I continued and came to a hallway with several rooms. In the first one, I felt chills. It was a surgery room, with instrumental and also I saw blood stains... - 'What the hell have they done to her?' - But that room was nothing compared to the next. It was a photography room with a red light and several pictures posted on a thread. As I approached, I felt the fury came over me. There were pictures of the girl, Elizabeth, and some showed her undressing or changing clothes. Without thinking, I formed a flame and burned the images. In the last room, it seemed to be a study room with a camera and a screen hung on the wall. When I turned on the projector, it showed videos of Elizabeth doing various activities: in the first she appeared trying to open a door by forcing the lock and, from what the title said, it was the #132 attempt. In the next one she was researching codes to open the lock (if I'm not wrong). In another one, Elizabeth was painting a picture of the Eiffel Tower and I had to admit her technique was really good. In the last two recordings, she was singing and dancing alone... That was very sad. They had been watching her in her entire life and hadn't worried to accompany her. Also took advantage that she was locked and that's the worst.

Passing the hall, this place ended up to worry me. There was a huge tesla in the center and several huge speakers which were vibrating something like wind or energy. I heard someone singing but the sound was too distorted. After seeing several posters, I discovered that they were actually siphons... For what? I got into an elevator and went up. I came to a room with two covered windows and a lever. I activated the lever and in the first it showed the study room where she was studying the codes. The other room was a bedroom. Seeing no one there, I went down the hall to the left and saw a tracker panel and it said "Location of the specimen".

'Dressing room… There she is.' - I went there and prayed to not find her in an awkward situation... When I arrived, I found the same room as before but I saw a camera in front of the observation window. - 'Sick bastards…' – I hit the camera with my hand and broke it with a stomp. Then I activated the lever and my anger was vanished instantly. Elizabeth appeared in front of me was holding back a picture of the Eiffel Tower. She was thin and she came up to my chin. She wore a blue skirt combined with a white shirt with blue cuffs and a scarf of the same color on the neck. She had her brown hair in a ponytail with a blue ribbon and also had something looked like a blue chocker around her neck. Then she turned to look herself in the mirror while she still was holding the picture and... She was beautiful. She was about my age and had blue eyes. As I watched her in awe, she suddenly dropped the photo and examined his right hand. Then I noticed she was missing part of her pinky and was covered by a silver thimble. Elizabeth picked up the photo and put a huge smile before moving away. Well, at least it seemed that she was having a great day.

I activated the tracker panel and it said now she was in the dining room. Went there and opened the window. She stood in front of the painting of the Eiffel tower that I had seen before in the recording studio. She looked anxious and made a small smile before approaching the painting. She put her hands into the center as if she was going to rip it and I approached curiously.

'What is she- WHAT THE HELL!' - She opened her arms and the painting disappeared. In its place there was a kind of hole showing a street of Paris with the tower in the background. Nearby there was a cinema with a sign saying "The Revenge du Jedi" and it was playing "Everybody wants to rule the world". While I was trying to assimilate what was happening, sirens sounded in the background and a fire truck went straight to her. But before he arrived, Elizabeth hastily closed arms and the street disappeared. She was still facing the place where the hole was but knew all the joy from before was gone and was devastated by what had happened. She ran off and I was still trying to think what had happened. If my eyes hadn't deceived me, Elizabeth had opened a kind of portal to Paris and, after watching the "Revenge of Jedi" sign… It was in 1983! Everything started to make sense but first I had to complete a mission.

The next stop was the library and I went to the observation room. I saw another camera and hit it before turning the lever. Sweet lord, I wish I could study there… The library was huge with big shelves covering the walls and Elizabeth facing a big window. She was humming a tune with a sad tone while she was touching the glass. She looked so alone... I looked at the mark of my hand and clenched my fist. Decided: I was going to get her out of this place and nobody would stop me. Not only for the fact that I could go home. Also after seeing what they've done to her, I can't let her under the control of those bastards.

I looked for the way to get to the library and discovered that the only way to do it was through a platform that surrounded the tower from the outside. I had to make a great effort to combat the wind and my fear, and finally reached the door. There was another large platform endured by chains and advance through it but then I heard a metallic screech. It isn't a good sign when a metal thing does a sound like that.

'Oh, no-' - suddenly one of the chains broke and I fell into the void. - 'AAAAAAAH!' - I moved my arms and my right hand managed to grab a ledge. I sighed in relief and with both hands I pushed myself up. Then I looked up to meet Elizabeth staring at me with surprise. – 'Uhh... Hi.' - Suddenly she screamed and my grip failed. I fell down and my back hurt.

'Please, no more falls... OW!' - Suddenly something struck my head and saw Elizabeth throwing me books while she was advancing at me. - 'Hey! OW! Could you- UGH! -STOP?! I 'm not here to hurt you!' - Elizabeth finally came to me and threatened me with a huge book of quantum physics.

'Who are you?!' - Asked me and I raised my hands trying to calm her.

'My name is Marc Clark. I'm a friend. I've come to get you out of here.' - I said trying to get close.

'Get away!' – She tried to hit me with the book but I blocked it and it fell to the ground.

'Calm! I promise I won't hurt you.' - She looked at the book and then stared at me. I had to admit they were the most hypnotic eyes I had ever seen. He approached me curious yet uncertain, as if she had never seen a human.

'Are... Are you real?' –asked me like she was fear to touch me. I smiled and put my cheek in her hand.

'Real enough to be here.' - She stroked me and was going to say something but suddenly a golden statue that was behind me began to sing a tune.

'He's coming... Y-you've gotta go.' - Told me and I looked at her confused.

'Why? '

'You don't want to be here when he gets here-' - a sharp sound suddenly sounded from above and she looked in that direction. –Just a minute! I'm getting dressed!

'No way. I can get you out of here.'

'There's no way out, trust me. I've looked.' - she replied while she was looking around to find a place to hide me. The sound rang up again and then Elizabeth looked up angry. – 'STOP IT! YOU'RE TOO IMPATIENT, THAT'S ENOUGH!' - Whatever it was that up there, it had to be very big and I didn't like anything. Then I remembered the key and pulled it out.

'What about this?'

'What about it?' - asked without looking at me.

'This is the way out, isn't it?'

'What are you- ?! ' – She saw the key and her eyes widened. - 'GIVE IT TO ME!' - she took the key and grabbed it as it was the most important thing in her life. She ran to the door and put the key in the lock. The gears from it turned and then it was opened. Elizabeth stared at the door like she couldn't believe it and hurried out. - 'It's a way out!'

'Wait!' - Some alarms started ringing and the sound of the ceiling became a furious cry. There was strong shaking and I rushed out but, before doing so, I took the key from the door. I saw a stairs and went down.

'Come on, this way!' - As I went down, there was a strong tremor and I was about to fall but I managed to stay up. When I came down, she started to run down the catwalks Ipassed before. - 'It's his job to keep me locked up in here!'

'We'll see about that!' - On one of the runways, there was another strong tremor that made me fall. Then there was a loud screech and something made some big marks on the wall. That thing had claws! I got up and hurried to follow Elizabeth until finally we reached the first observation room. - 'Call the elevator! '

'What?!' - she asked confused. I hadn't stopped to think she doesn't know what is it.

'Eh...Press the button!' - When I reached her, she did it but then looked at the observation windows.

'What is all this? They were watching me? All this time... Why?' - she asked clearly confused and looked at me desperate. I felt really bad for her. - 'Why did they put me in here? What am I? WHAT AM I?!'

'You're the girl who's getting out of this tower.' - I answered trying to cheer her up. Suddenly the elevator doors exploded and a hand with claws looked. After hand returned, something with very large eyes looked in our direction. - 'What the FUCK! ' - I pulled out the machine gun and shot that thing while it was trying to reach to Elizabeth who was curled up on the wall completely terrified. Then a bell rang and the elevator pushed the monster down. I approached to the huge hole and saw no sign of him. I jumped to a wooden platform and looked at Elizabeth. - 'Come on! I'll take you!' – she wasn't sure but jumped towards me and I grabbed her. When I let her in the platform, I carried her toward the stairs that were leading up. - 'Don't stop!'

'He's tearing the building apart!'

'Be careful Elizabeth!' - She looked at me surprised but she didn't stop running.

'How do you know my name?'

'Not now!' - I came to a door that Elizabeth was trying to open but she wasn't strong enough. – 'Let me try.' - Grabbed the wheel and made an effort until it was opened and the strong wind came through the hole. I pushed the door a let her pass.

'Which way?!'

'Up!' - Both climbed a walkway that led to the top of the statue and saw the giant thing... Flying! That thing can also fly!

I hurried to get up even though the wind was pushing me back and I finally got to Elizabeth but I realized there was no way out. The only option was to stay and fight that giant thing... until the tower fell down and the two fell into the void.

'AAAAAAAAAAH !' - Elizabeth screamed while trying to get to me and finally she was able to catch my hand. I pulled her to me and saw a sky-line getting closer. I activated the sky-hook and it reached it but the force of the fall shook me. My injured left arm hurt like hell and had to make a great effort to keep Elizabeth and myself up.

'Hold on to me!' - She instantly obeyed me and grabbed me with his eyes tightly shut and a look of terror. The road took a right turn and the monster flew at full speed, to the point of destroying an airship in the way. I saw a bridge near the road and started to hink about how to get there. Then the Monument Island appeared, with a huge gap in the area of the head and it began to fall. - 'Oh shit!'

Just as we were reaching the bridge, the head hit on it and it break, broking the rail as well. My sky-hook went off of it and grabbed Elizabeth when we started to fall again. I saw water below and before getting there, I kept my breath. After hitting the water, we separated and started to swim quickly but when I went to the surface, a huge shadow fell over me. Suddenly the monster appeared and I noticed it had the form of a coated metal bird. It grabbed me and I felt a sharp pain in the ribs. I tried to free myself while trying to hold my breath but my lungs couldn't stand more. Then the bird cried when one of its eyes fractured. It finally left me free and covered his eyes as he flew toward the surface. I tried to swim but I was drowning. My vision became dark and my body didn't react. Before falling to the darkness again, I saw someone seemed like an angel going to me.


I promise this is the last "intro" chapter (at least I think so). I think the next episodes will be much longer and the story will get much better.

Promise to update soon! Menawhile you can post a review and tell me what do you think! (every opinion is always good!)

PS: The last chapter was called "Monument Island"... If someone thought it was the chapter in which Marc was already there, I apologize.
