Wow thanks for the support guys! I will be continuing my other fanfictions soon, don't worry! I just have lost the muse to continue them.
An AU of BioShock Infinite. Booker/Elizabeth. Don't like it? Don't read it.
I danced around with some cotton candy in my hand. I giggled and bowed at a man who had seen me. He winced at me, and turned to his girlfriend who started to yell at him. I sighed and looked at the shooting game.
"Shoot the anarchist Daisy Fitzroy and you get a bonus! Uh...sorry little lady; only men are allowed to play this game. Don't want you to shoot your pretty little eye out!" The announcer said. A young man was standing by himself, aiming with the rifle. He shot the first three targets, then the next three. He shot the next three as well as the Daisy Fitzroy target. He managed to shoot all of them. Most of the other girls stood in awe of him, like me. I watched him claim first prize. When he turned around, most of the girls broke off into their friend circles to talk. I just stood there looking like a fool. He didn't see me, thankfully, and made his way through the crowd of women. He went to an older girl who looked like his mother. He handed her the coin purse. I smiled at it, knowing he really cared about her. Four girls walked to me and tapped my shoulder.
"Is it true that you're the lamb?" The first girl asked. I smiled at her.
"Yeap." I said, giving her a nod. She placed her hands to her chest. She turned and saw the young man. She turned back to me.
"Come on!" She said, grabbing my wrists softly. She lightly dragged me to him. She tapped his shoulder and he turned around.
"Uh... Hello?" He asked. The girls giggled.
"Hi. What's your name?" The girl dragging me asked.
"Booker. DeWitt." He replied. squinting at her slightly.
"I'm Lilly Zachary." The girl said.
"Who are the others?" Booker asked.
"The blonde is Amy, the ginger is Whitney, the ash blonde girl is Ruby, and this girl here is the Lamb." Lilly said, smiling at Booker. He looked at me.
"'The Lamb'?" He asked me.
"It's a title." I replied shyly. Booker glanced at the girls around me and nodded slowly. He smiled at me.
"So miss Lamb, are you busy at this point in time? My schedule was freed up." Booker asked.
"Uh... I'm not busy..." I said. Booker smiled. He held out his arm like a gentleman and I gladly took it. He was very handsome... He smiled at me, and I looked back at my new friends to give them a smile. I'd been warned about "the false shepherd" for the entire time I was in the tower. There was a man watching us with the letters "AD" carved into his right hand. I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand.
"Eliza-" the man called out to me. How did he know my name?!
"Get away!" I shouted, throwing my cotton candy at him. I turned heel and ran. I heard someone catching up to me. I glanced behind me at Booker, who was running to keep pace with me. He seemed confused, but let me run. I ran into a police officer. He caught my arms. I screamed a little.
"Calm down ma'am!" The officer said. I looked at him. He seemed nice enough.
"What's wrong?" Another officer asked.
"Elizabeth!" The Shepherd called. I turned around
"Go away!" I screamed at him. Booker stepped in front of me. The Shepherd stopped when he saw Booker.
"Kid, get outta my way." He said.
"I ain't no kid, and I ain't gettin' out of the way." Booker said. I felt safe behind him. The Shepherd glared at Booker. The officers charged at the Shepherd. The Shepherd killed the first with his gun and slammed the skyhook into the other's head. He twisted the man away.
"Oh my god!" I said. Booker put a protective arm out to tell me to follow him. He began to back up, pressing me against the wall. Songbird didn't know I was in danger. I needed to call him.
"Booker, I need to get there!" I said, pointing to a golden statue. Booker nodded and began to creep over to let me run there.
"Give me the girl." He said.
"What are you going to do with her?" Booker asked.
"I got a debt that needs a pain'." The man said, raising his gun. Booker gulped. He glanced and saw another gun out of the corner of his eye. He picked it up, aiming at the man.
"You sure kid?" He asked.
"I already had someone give me away." Booker said bitterly, "I won't let her have the same fate."
By this time, we'd turned just so, so I ran. I headed straight towards the statue. I heard gunshots being fired and people screaming. I closed my eyes, grabbing a pipe. I smacked the statue a few times, knocking it down. I pulled the instrument out from the head. By that time I saw Booker laying on the ground, clutching his gut.
"Elizabeth, come here!" The man said, running at me. I circled around him and got back to Booker. I blew C, A, G, and E. The Songbird gave a loud cry. He swooped down and landed in front of the Shepherd, blocking him from getting us. I raided my hand to his beak.
"I need you to carry us back to my tower. Can you do that for me?" I asked him.
'Of course my child.' Songbird said.
"Go..." Booker whispered, raising his gun weakly.
"No, Booker. He's alright." I said, placing my hand on his. He fell limp. Songbird scooped him and I up in the same hand, and carried us towards the tower. I looked back at the False Shepherd, who was watching me. He looked defeated. I looked at Songbird, who was watching him too.
'Is that the...'
"Yes." I told him coldly. Songbird chirped angrily as he got to the tower.
"Put him on the couch!" I called to him, jumping down from Songbird's hand. I grabbed my medical kit as Booker was gently laid on my couch. I patched him up as I checked his pulse. He was still alive. I breathed a sigh of relief. I sat on the couch and shivered. There was so much blood. I got up and walked to my changing room, and put on another version of the same outfit. I stepped out of the room and to the main room where Booker was still laying. I curled up on the loveseat and began to read Rapunzel. I got through the book when I looked up. Booker was awake and standing by the window, holding his gut. He was wincing as he stared outside.
"You need to heal!" I cried out to him, getting up from my awkward position on the loveseat. I came stumbling over to him and looked outside. Guards were laying dead.
"Oh my god..." I whispered. He looked at me.
"That bird of yours... he can protect you?" Booker asked me.
"I...I hope so." I whispered in reply. I looked at him as he sighed.
"If, and only if, that bird isn't enough, I'll protect you." He said. I smiled.
"Thank you." I said. He winced at me. I looked towards the door, which had began to open. I held my book tightly in my hands. The door swung open, revealing the False Shepherd. I glanced over at Songbird, who was watching him. The man held up his hands, placing his gun on the ground. I looked at Booker and shook my head. He winced, but did nothing. I walked over to him, and saw a woman was behind him. She looked almost exactly like Booker.
"You stay." I said to the False Shepherd, "You, ma'am, can see your child."
"Thank you." She said, running past me to her child.
"What do you want with me?" I asked him.
"I have a debt to pay." He said, "And you're gonna pay it."
"Not if I don't go." I said sternly, glaring at him.
"You'll come with me, missy, and you'll like it." He said, reaching for my wrist.
"You're a monster!" I said, stepping back away from him.
"I-" He started.
"You killed those people!" I shouted to him. Songbird's eye shifted from it's usual green glow to a reddish orange one. The False Shepherd winced at me, and glanced at Songbird. He casually flicked his hand, possessing Songbird. Possession didn't quite work on Songbird, but it gave him time to grab me.
"Booker!" I screamed as he dragged me out.
"Shit!" Booker cried out. I heard him running after me. I heard him collapse. I saw Songbird come around the corner. The False Shepherd jumped out of the window, using his body to break it. I screamed as we fell, trying not to let him grab me. I turned and saw Comstock's airship heading towards us. I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I felt a gun get put to my head.
"Don't try anything!" The man shouted.
"Please, Richard, it doesn't have to end like this!" Comstock said to him.
"It doesn't. Not if you don't do anything." He replied as we plummeted into Battleship Bay.
