Welcome to Rapture:
There was a sound of clapping.
Opening her eyes Sophie saw she was on stage...okay..why was she there?
Because the stage was nothing but black, the only thing was a spotlight that shined on her.
Looking down Sophie saw she wore a simple flowing white dress, on her feet were point
shoes.. Okay...she was on stage, but where was the audience.
Music began...(Sander Cohen'sScherzo #7. ).
Shrugging Sophie stood on point and began to dance at its tune...it was sort of
difficult since she had never danced to such a tune.
She heard a thump, looking she saw man wearing an dark italian doctor mask,
white dressing shirt with a blue tuxedo vest over it, cream dressing pants and
shoes..having a bad feeling about it she tried to run..but when she tried she
realiezed...she couldn't stop dancing.
No matter how much she tried.
He took her and danced with her...spinning her around and round to the point
she was getting dizzy.
Suddenly he let go of her and left.
Sophie felt heaviness in her body, looking at her hands she was horrified to
find them wrapped up in metal...had she turned into one of the...Big sisters?
Somewhere in the atlantic ocean, time: 11:00 am:
Sophie woke up screaming,
"Sophie...you okay?" yelled Delta worried, he was busy driving the bathyingsphere, taking deep
breaths Sophie said in a shaky voice "Ya...I am fine".
There was a moment of silence as the baythingsphere traveled through the
ocean.
Soon they saw a light..as they got closer it grew bigger and bigger till they saw
it was a city.
Sophie's eyes went wide open, so did her mouth,
"Grandpa...is that?" asked Sophie,
Delta nodded and said grimly "Yes Sophie..that is Rapture"
Suddenly there was a sound, Sophie looked at Delta, he nodded, he heard it too.
Getting up Sophie took a wrench which was lying around, slowly she crept to where the sound was coming from, which was a small closet.
Opening it she screamed
"MICHEAL...WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?", getting out from the closet Micheal
said "I saw you coming out of my house...I wanted to see where your going",
looking at Delta he said "cccccoooolllllll, so that is how you drive this thing".
Ignoring Sophie's scoling he walked over, stared at the wheel then finally said
"Can I drive?",
"No" said Delta,
"Please" insisted Micheal,
"No" said Delta,
"I want to drive now now now no-" said Micheal as he began to bang his fist into the controls.
Coincidentaly hitting a red button which caused the bathyingsphere to to at super fast speed.
Dropping down on the ground they all screamed.
*Crash*
The bathyingsphere stopped.
Slowly getting up on their feet they approached to see what the bathyinsphere
crashed into.
"This wasn't the docking I was planning but we made it" said Delta as they
stared to the room they crashed into, it was concret
but there was a huge window staring out into the city,
"Grandpa...is this?" asked Sophie, nodding Delta said
"Yes Sophie...welcome to Rapture".
Slowly Delta opened the emergency door letting them into the city, as they did
Sophie's eyes watered.
She couldn't believe it..Rapture is real.
"Aww man, look at this bathyingsphere...its a mess" said Delta as he inspected the
bathyingsphere.
Micheal looked down he knew he was in hot water for this,
"Grandfather can you fix the ship?" asked Sophie,
"Ya...I just need some time...while I fix this you go look around" said Delta as he went under the
bathyingsphere.
"Micheal you stay here and watch grandpa" said Sophie,
"Delta is not my grandpa" said Micheal,
"Just watch him" said Sophie rolling her eyes.
Once he nodded Sophie left.
Entering a one of the hallways that was made out of glass Sophie pressed her face against it to see the
city.
It was shinning brightly...the usual sea life was swiming by.
"Rapture...who is bringing you back to life?" Sophie asked to herself before she shivered.
Okay...going to Rapture wearing her school uniform...which is a white blouse under a short sleeve red
petty coat and a mini skirt wasn't the best idea...she was freezing.
Shaking her head Sophie though
"Sophie forget about yourself...think about you brother...think about all the sleepless cold nights he had
been forced to endure here in Rapture" with determination she continued her way.
Meanwhile:
Delta was fixing the Bathyingsphere...he didn't want to worry Sophie about it but even if he could fix it
how on earth is he ever going to drive it out?
Micheal...bored he said
"Delta...I am going to look around",
"Micheal, don't you stay here" yelled Delta,
"I am not going to leave this room" said Micheal scoffing before leaving.
To be honest he didn't wanted to explore...he needed to find a bathroom.
Leaving the room Micheal began to look around suddenly he heard a sound, looking he saw something
moving around under a huge carp.
"Hello...do you live here?" asked Micheal, whatever it was moaned...it sounded like a whale.
Getting up from its sitting position the carp slid off of its body.
Staring at him with his mouth opened Micheal said
"Your a big person".
Taking his hand Micheal brough him to Delta,
"Delta found a person" he told Delta.
Busy with the bathyingsphere Delta didn't bother to see Micheal...to him if he found a person and he
wasn't screaming meant he was just trying to get his attention.
"Ya...sure you did" said Delta not bothering to look at Micheal.
"Are person's really big?" asked Micheal,
"Ya, people can grow to be big" said Delta as he tried to put some wires together,
"Can people wear diving suits?" asked Micheal,
"Sure why not" said Delta before flinching...he touched a live wire,
"Can people carry drills?" asked Micheal again,
"Yes people can" said Delta...then it was am akward minute later when he though about what Micheal
said,
"Wait a minute...drill?" asked Delta as he finally turned around and saw who or what Micheal brought
with him.
Back with Sophie:
Opening a glass door quietly Sophie found herself in another hallway,
"This place is a maze...how I wished I payed attention to my mom and dad's stories" though Sophie..there was nothing but the sound of a clock which went "Tack, tack" all of a sudden it the
sound stopped.
"Hu?" asked Sophie as she looked at the clock which was hung in the wall.
Suddenly the clock started again...this time it hands were moving backwards.
"What tha?" said Sophie...the clock hands moved faster and faster.
Then looking around her inviroment Sophie was shocked to see everything around her change too.
Where there was derbis it went back to where it was supposed to be...the floors went from a dirty carpet to a nice clean red...the walls grew to be new again and light came on.
Sophie looked shocked around her...how was this possible?
"I am very unhappy with you Roan" said a voice,
"Hu?" said Sophie as she looked up ahead...there she saw a younger version of Daniel with a woman she had never seen before and a kid version of Roan,
"Running away, I though I was clear when I said you and your brother couldn't leave your room yet" scold Daniel,
"But daaadddd" whined Roan,
"Don't argue with your father Roan, now tell us where is your brother" said the woman.
His eyes went wide, then he yelled "RUN AWAY RYAN! RUN AS FAST AS THE WIND!", no sooner than that Ryan came out of his hidding spot and ran for it,
the woman tried to grab him but she found herself being yanched up by an invisible force, she screamed as she pulled her skirt down trying to keep it in place, Daniel grabbed her ankle trying
to get her down but didn't work, giving up he ran after Ryan.
" RUN RYAN RUN, SAVE YOURSELF...DON'T FORGET TO BRING ME AN AUTOGRAHP!" yelled Roan as he kept the woman in her place.
Looking Sophie ran after her father...wanting to know what they were doing.
She reached a bathyingsphere station..there she found a huge crowd of people.
There she saw Ryan squeezing through them...walking over Sophie was shocked to find she went through the crowd...up ahead she saw Ryan starring at...was that Delta when he was
younger? he was surprisingly handsom...she could see why Sophia went for him...did she? she never really said if she got married or liked liked her granfather.
At that point she saw Daniel managed to catch up to Ryan, startled he ran and fell face first on the ground a few inches away from Delta's younger self.
Getting up he took out that looked like two posters and a pen,
"Sign this" he said giving one to Delta and the pen, he sign it,
"And this" said Ryan as he gave him the last one.
Once done Ryan said
"Thank you Mister Topside" and with that he left the scene running and screaming leaving Delta with a look that said "What just happened?".
Daniel managed to catch up to Ryan, grabbing him he dragged Ryan back to the hallways where the woman was...yanking the ear off of Roan,
"Ear, ear, ear" Roan said over and over in pain,
"You are soo grounded mister" said the woman as she let go of him once Ryan was with them.
"But mmoooommm" whined the two of them,
"Not another word..you two are grounded...til you die" said Daniel as he began to leave with their mother.
"Hey Ryan...got my autograph?" whispered Roan to Ryan,
"Sure...I wouldn't bear leaving you with nothing" said Ryan as he gave him the poster,
"Thanks...Johnny Topside is cool..this was worth being grounded forever" said Roan cheering silently,
"Nah they will get over it in a week" said Ryan as he began to follow his parents,
"Hummm true" said Roan then added running after his brother
"But question...how long is forever?".
Then with an open and closing of the eye Sophie found herself in the run down glory of Rapture
"What was that?" though Sophie trying to figure out what just happened.
"" a scream rang through the whole place, recognizing the scream as her grandfather in trouble Sophie screamed
"Grandpa!" before she ran back to where her grandfather was.
Entering the room she was shocked to find it empty...glubbing with fear Sophie took a huge flashligh that was laying around on the ground and slowly inspected the room...there was
nothing...no blood...no sign of a struggle or fight.
Entering the bathyingsphere she was terrified when she found the truck which contained all the weapons and her mothers armor was gone.
"This isn't happening" she said terrified as she slowly backed away from the bathyingsphere.
She had to find Micheal and her grandfather...it was the only thing she could do now.
Walking back to the hallways Sophie slowly made her way through...suddenly she heard music...it said:
Oh rise, Rapture, rise!
We turn our hopes up to the skies!
Oh rise, Rapture, rise!
Upon your wings our dreams will fly.
A city in the ocean's deep
A promise that we'll always keep
To boldly turn our eyes upon the prize!
So rise, rise, rise!
Oh rise, Rapture, rise!
We merrily sing this reprise.
Oh rise, Rapture, rise!
To help us crush parasites despised.
A city on Poseidon's floor
A set of ideals we adore
A philosophy we all can emphasize
So rise, rise, rise!
Usually somebody who had seen or even heard of all of the dangers Rapture had they would have had second thoughts about even following the sound.
Unfortunetly Sophie wasn't one of those people.
Following the sound it lead to a two door way.
Opening it up she found a large dark room, slowly entering it Sophie jumped when the doors slamed shut behind her.
Trembeling she walked to where the sound was coming from...it was a record player...slowly she placed her hand on it and ...it stopped playing.
"There you are Sophie Lamb" said a voice from behind.
Jumping Sophie turned on the flashlight and shined it at the source...it was a little boy...around the ages of eight or nine.
He wore a clean sea foam green dressing shirt, cream color pants and shoes.
His blond hair was comed neatly, his face was sprinkled with freckles.
That was normal...but it creeped Sophie out..why...cause of his glowing yellow cat like eyes.
Was this...a little brother?...but that is impossible...if she remembered right little brothers were extremely violent...if little boy is one of them then why isn't he attacking her...what is more both
them and little sistered were describe as thin starving children, both dirty and wearing ripped clothes.
But this kid was clean...really clean, his clothes weren't ripped or stained, he was pale true, but he wasn't thin or starving looking.
"Sophie..what took you soo long to get here?, Jacob has been waiting for you forever" scold the little boy,
"Hu?" asked Sophie wondering if she heard right,
"Sophie...why didn't you come sooner?, don't you care about Jacob anymore?" asked the little boy sounding like he was going to cry,
"No...no, I do care about my brother" said Sophie finaly finding her voice.
Suddenly there was an inhuman shriek,
"What is that?" asked Sophie,
"Splicers...their coming..RUN SOPHIE RUN AWAY, DON'T LET THEM CATCH YOU" yelled the little brother as he ran and disappeared into what looked like a vent.
Heading his warning Sophie started to run for it.
Having no sense of direction Sophie was more than sure she ran pass the same hallway a bunch of time...she could hear them coming.
Stopping she found a store..she could lock herself inside till they left.
Runnin in she turned around to lock the place...as she did three people slam into the fence...they all wore mask and dirty clothes...they were deformed and smelled like a corpse.
Trying to lock it Sophie managed to...at that point one of them grabbed and bit her arm,
"Yyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" screamed Sophie in pain as its teeth sunk into her skin and flesh, giving him a good punch she managed to get him off of her, crawling into the store the splicers
stopped..looking at her they said
"Sooooo the people daughter has returned...tell us Eleanor how was your life topside...didn't like it" said one before bursting into a mocking laugh,
"Eleanor?" though Sophie confused to why they would call her her mothers name,
"Welll we have been waiting for you to return...we will make sure that you get what is coming to you for abandoning us" said another,
"Ya..we will make you wish you stayed topside" said the last before they all laughed manaically.
With that they left.
After an hour or so passed Sophie whimpered, looking at her arm she saw where she was bitten...it was bad, she couldn't stay there.
Opening the store Sophie went up head...deeper into Rapture.
Her brother was alive...if he survived Rapture so could she, she couldn't let those people intimidate her when she was soo close to finding her brother,
"Hold on Jacob...I am coming" said Sophie as she made her way through Rapture.
To be continued...
