Authors notes: Does anybody know a good beta reader? I really really need one to work with me in these chapters.
"So it begins: Sophie's first plasmid.
Rapture, drain pipes:
The Big brothers and sisters scattered as the guards entered their hide out and began to take away the little sisters and brothers.
Taking as many little sisters and brother they could carry the Big brothers and sisters ran for it.
Sophie in mids of the confusion she grabbed Aaron, who was the first little brother that was near her and ran away, following Alex who took several lil sisters and brothers with him.
It was a good run….Sophie had no idea where Alex was going but followed him any way, he seemed to know where he was going.
Stopping in a bathynsphere center they caught their breath, after a moment of silence Sophie asked
"Alex, what do we do now?", Alex looked at her, stayed quiet for sometime before saying.
"Were going our separate ways",
"What!" yelled Sophie not believing what she heard,
"Its safer this way, they can't track us if we go our separate ways" said Alex,
"Alex, you can't do that, I don't know this place" said Sophie, she constantly wished she was paying attention to her families stories of rapture.
"You found Rapture didn't you?" said Alex,
"Ya" answered Sophie uneasy,
"If you can find Rapture then you can manage your way around this place" said Alex.
Noticing she was still unsure Alex added
"I have a plan, it will only work if we go our separate paths".
Looking at Alex Sophie was unsure of what to do, should she trust this stranger,
"Don't worry, you'll be fine" Alex assured, sighting Sophie said
"Alright, I'll trust you", Alex smiled, or so she thinks, it was hard to tell what his facial expression was when your wearing that helmet.
"I'll take the little ones to a safe location, in the meantime have a look around, remember your Aarons sister now, he will trust you and you have to trust him" said Alex,
"Alright" said Sophie, Alex boarded the Bathyingsphere, the little sister and brother went with him, with that he closed the door and the bathyingsphere sunk.
Aaron waved at them as they left, taking his hand Sophie said to the preteen
"Come on..lets go" with that they began to make they took the remaining bathyingsphere.
Closing the door Sophie looked at the options where the Sphere can take them.
It said Minervas den, shurrgin Sophie set the course to that place, once done the Bathyinsphere sunk and began to make its way deeper into Rapture.
Rapture, location: unknown.
Sophie sighted as she looked at Aaron who had fallen asleep on the cushions the sphere had.
The sphere was taking them who knows where…even Sophie lost track of how long had the sphere been in motion.
"Ya…way to go Sophie, you put your trust on what a stranger says and look, I am hopelessly lost" Sophie mentally ranted to herself.
As if hearing her the Bathyingsphere reached a building, it entered through a hole then rose up to a dry tunnel.
"Welcome to Minerva's den" said the sphere as the door opened.
"Minerva's Den…where is that on Rapture?" said Sophie as she slowly shook Aaron awake.
Aaron yawned, rubbed his tired eyes,
"Come on, were here" said Sophie kindly,
Aaron took her hand, with that they began to walk to who knows where, everything was soo dark, the only source of light she has was the one coming from her helmet.
Aaron walked ahead of Sophie, but he was close in case any splicer or military soldier showed up.
As soon as she did she heard a crackle, startled her.
Listening the crackle got louder, as it did she could make out a voice.
It said something about needing more power.
"There has to be a generator around here somewhere" Sophie though as she began to look around.
Sure enough she found a generator….looked like it.
"Okay…how do I jump start the power?" Sophie asked herself, thinking she was asking him Aaron tugged on her hand,
"What's wrong?" asked Sophie raising her harvester; she was ready to attack if any splicer was near.
Taking her hand Aaron began to drag her to someplace; Sophie decided to follow, after all Aaron is her responsibility now.
Then she heard a noise.. it sounded like music.
The closer Sophie got she could make out the words, it went:
"My daddy's SMARTER than Einstein, STRONGER than Hercules and can light a fire with a SNAP of his fingers. Are you as good as my daddy, Mister? Not if you don't visit the Gatherer's Garden, you aren't! Smart daddies get spliced, at the Gardens!"
Looking she saw a machine, it had two cartoon like girls on the sides, it was painted pink and yellow, with a neon sign that said
"Gatherer gardens".
Looking at it for several minutes Sophie said
"Okay..why did you brought me here", Aaron didn't answer, he took out a jar and began to choke and cough.
Sophie stared stunt, it was a good minute later when Aaron purged some green stuff on the jar.
Wipping his mouth Aaron smiled proudly as he handed the jar to Sophie,
"Ya…..thanks" said Sophie disgusted taking the jar, she replaced it with the one she had on her harvester.
The only thing on the machine was a hole for a harvester. So she lined up the needle and inserted it into the machine. Seeing as nothing happened for several seconds she tried twisting her arm clockwise, like she would when she insert a key to a door.
The machine made a loud click.
Sophie turned her attention back to the vending machine.
A panel had opened up with a little more than half a dozen buttons with pictures and numbers below them and a panel that had the number 100 displayed in bright red letters.
The number confused her a bit until she glanced over and saw the previously full Adam jar empty.
Turning her attention back to the buttons she found that there were options for plasmids.
The buttons from left to right were a Winter blast which is 60 adam, Enrage 60 adam, Target dummy 60 adam and finally Electroshock which is the leats expensive option being worth 40 adam.
Sophie pressed the button for Electroshock plasmid, the plasmid came down, the rest of the adam went back into the jar before the machine realized the harvester.
Taking the plasmid Sophie looked at Aaron, he reached into his pocket and took out a needle, gave it to Sophie.
Sophie took it nodding; she knew what to do with it.
Injecting it into the plasmid Sophie took the needle out and injected it into her wrist.
At first nothing happened, and then the pain erupted.
It was horrible; she felt it burn her inside, even her hair was burning with pain.
Falling to her knees first Sophie clutched her chest before falling completely to the ground.
The last thing she saw was Aaron's face.
