Authors note: Hey all you readers. Hope you enjoy this chapter of Big sister. Were getting closer and closer to the end so stay tune and remember to review. No review, no chappies.
Tears came to Sophie's eyes...Jacob was right, all her life she wanted to be what other people wanted her to be, if they wanted a dancer she would be a dancer, if they wanted a composer she would be a composer, everything.
Now it was her turn...she was going to be who she wanted to be.
"I am sorry daddy" Sophie though with tears falling out of her eyes as she brought the dagged down.
Alex screamed as Sophie plunged the dagger into her stomach.
Sophie gasped in pain, pulled the dagger out and plunged it back into her stomach, making it go deeper.
"NO!" yelled Nero in anger, his plan didn't work out completly.
"SOPHIE!" yelled Alex as he caught her falling body.
Sophie gasped and gurgle in pain, she felt blood coming out, of course...she stabbed herself with the dagger, but it was the only way to stop herself.
"Finally...I did something I wanted to do" though Sophie with a smile as she closed her eyes.
Later:
There was a sound, it sounded like a beep, but it was echoed.
"Sophie...wake up" Sophie heard, lightily opening her eyes she was blinded by the light.
Then colors and shapes appeared, she looked around she was in a tank full of water, there were computers outside of the tank and there were two people talking, one was a man, he wore a white dressing shirt with a red jacket, cream pants and shoes, he was a brunnet head.
The woman had a plain white dress (think of the white dress eleanor wore on the 2 game) with a green bow tied on her back and a matching on in her hair which she used like a hairband to keep her black hair from falling to her eyes which were glowing yellow.
"Hey, she woke up" said the woman pointing, the guy nodded and pressed a button and drained the water.
Once drained they opened the tank and began to unhook some wires which were attached to her armor which had a few modifications.
It had more armor like the chest plate, her arms were more protected and her legs also had more armor, but it was light which would allow her to be more agile and faster.
Her harvester had a new needle.
"Were sorry Sophie, you have been asleep for sometime, 4 days to be exact" said the man helping her up,
"What happened?" mumbled Sophie feeling dizzy,
"After you stabbed yourself we took you to Persephone, your right now in the outer persephone medical facility, you were dying so Alex suggested we turn you into a big sister to save your life" said the woman,
"Big sister?" asked Sophie,
"Its strange, we never turned a teenager into a Big sister, usually the slug rejected the body, but it was a miracle, the slug bonded with you" said the man.
Sophie began to feel sick, this was too much.
"Come on...you need food and some rest" said the woman as they helped her leave the room.
Persephone detention cells, Rapture:
Sophie probably knew more about this place than any other place in Rapture...other than Fort floric that is. From what she heard from Grandpa Delta Persephone detention cells in the early days of Rapture's construction, when the original Sinker platform was moored in the ocean floor, the men working on the foundation discovered an enormous cavern in the bedrock.
Sinclair saw the possibilities in such a discovery and purchased the rights to the space, which no one else wanted.
He then paid off the few people who knew about it to forget that the cave had ever been found.
Through further exploration Sinclair discovered that the cave system extended out into a cliff at the edge of an oceanic trench.
Eventually, Persephone was expanded to lie just beneath Fontaine Futuristics, a convenient location close to Sinclair Solutions' largest client.
Even before the Rapture Civil War, the Persephone facility hosted many unruly people that Ryan found unfit for his society.
One such dissenter, the noted social psychiatrist Sofia Lamb, was imprisoned in Persephone when her altruistic philosophies began gaining too much influence among the rich and poor populations of Rapture.
Augustus Sinclair, ever the opportunist, took advantage of Lamb's psychiatric expertise and began employing her as a therapist of the other inmates, hoping to make them more docile.
This plan would eventually backfire on him, as Lamb used this extra freedom to gain considerable influence with the inmate population.
After the birth of the Plasmid industry, Augustus Sinclair began renting out the inmates as test subjects in the experiments conducted by Fontaine Futuristics, and later by Ryan Industries.
Many prisoners were subjected to these experiments, most unwillingly.
One notable inmate who was none other than Sophie's Grandfather was both a product tester at the "Plasmid Theater" in Fontaine Futuristics' headquarters as well as the first successful Alpha Series candidate in the Big Daddy program.
Sofia Lamb objected to this treatment of her supporters, but she was powerless to stop it, and was eventually forced to choose sacrifices from among her own people to keep the rest alive.
This situation underwent a drastic change some time just before the events of the 1958 New Year's Eve Riots that sparked the open Civil War in the rest of Rapture.
Sofia Lamb's followers among the inmate population managed to overthrow their captors, gaining complete control of the facility and ousting Augustus Sinclair in the process.
The remaining guards and prison employees, such as Warden Nigel Weir, were faced with the choice to either join Lamb's supporters or face the same fate as Sinclair.
After this, Sofia Lamb was free to come and go from the prison as she pleased, and it became her base of operations as she waited for the chaos of the Rapture Civil War to end, and afterward as the Rapture Family took control of the remains of the city.
Eventually, Sofia Lamb converted several wings of the prison into housing and caretaking for a new batch of Little Sisters kidnapped from the surface.
Dr. Edward Grimes and other staff were commissioned to care for the girls and perform the needed operations on them.
Lamb also brought her daughter Eleanor, Sophies mother, to stay in Persephone after her condition as a Little Sister was cured.
Eleanor was soon confined within the prison as her mother began using her in the experiment to create a "perfect Utopian."
For this purpose Eleanor was eventually confined in a comfortably arranged quarantine chamber in the upper level of Persephone.
But that was all in the past, right now Persephone had been turned into a base which served as the strong hold of the Rapture family, there were rooms which little siblings and their big siblings rested, infermeries, a cafeteria among other things needed.
There were either Big daddies or Big siblings patroling the area constantly while the Big siblings that were free of duty were busy carring for their younger siblings or helping out some hurt Big daddies or Big siblings.
"Here...you can use this cell to rest, we will wake you up when its supper" said the woman pointing at an open cell,
"Thanks" said Sophie feeling awkward, the man laughed,
"Don't worry, your no prisenor here" he said before leaving.
Peeking inside it was a regular cell with 2 bunk beds, the bunk bed on the left was occupied by a little brother and sister, both of them were sleeping.
The boy which slept on the top bunk had a comic book plastered on his face, suggested he fell asleep reading it while the girl on the bottom bunk cuddled with a blanket as she slept.
Smiling Sophie sat down on her bed, the bed creaked cause of the weight of the armor but Sophie felt too tired to take it off so she fell asleep with it.
Later:
Sophia woke up, she felt well rested, she stretched her arms before getting out of bed, looking she saw that a white dress..like the one the woman she saw early was wearing, there were two ribbons, one was long and wide, while the other one was short and slender.
They were the blue color her grandmothers Sophia's butterfly the blue morpho , her "calling card" as her dad calls it.
Taking off her armor Sophie put on the dress which was extremely baggy on her, reached about a few inches up her ankles, taking the bigger ribbon she tied it around her waist three times before trying a bow on her back.
Taking the smaller ribbong she tied it and used it as a headband, once done she left the cell.
After she took her first smell of a Big brother she wanted nothing to do with their ghastly smell, but now she didn't smell the fould odor, there were hinst of colone smells, mint, oranges, stuff like that.
"Sophie" she heard, turning her head to the dirrention of the voice she smiled,
"Grandpa" she said as she ran and hugged her Grandpa Delta.
Delta held her in a hug, careful not to hurt her cause of his armor,
"It was about time Sophie! I was ready to give up and go home to tell mom and dad what happened" said a tiny voice, looking it was her cousine Mathew.
His eyes glowed yellow which meant he was a little brother, he wore a white dressing shirt, a lime green vest and a pair of pants and shoes.
"Hello to you to squirt" said Sophie as she messed up Mathew hair,
"hey" he whined,
"Any way Sophie, Alex wants to talk to you, said it was kinda urgent" said Delta,
"really? where is he?" asked Sophie,
"He is in an office in Outer Persephone" said Delta pointing,
"Thanks Grandpa...talk to you later" said Sophie as she left.
Alex office:
Sophie stood outside of the office door, taking a deep breath she took the doornob and opened it.
Looking inside she saw it was fairly large, had some book cases, drawings that the little sisters made all over the room and hade a huge window that you could use to see outside of Rapture.
Alex sat on his desk as he payed attention to a little sister crying,
"Okay, calm down...tell me...whats wrong?" he asked in a soothing voice as he held the crying little sister,
"My...waaa...my big daddy..." she cried,
"Yes, whats wrong with your big daddy?" asked Alex worried,
"He is gone" she cried "He was following me a minute ago then he was gone", Alex chuckled and said
"Your Big daddy is okay, you probably wandered off too far, now hows about we do this? I look for your daddy and you promise that the next time you won't wander to far from him, okay?" offered Alex,
Sniffeling the little sisters nodded,
"Now, why don't you go to the cafeteria and ask Mirana for a piece of cake? tell her that Alex let you get some okay?" said Alex,
"Okay" said the little sister perking up, setting her down she merrily skipped her way.
Then Alex noticed Sophie entered,
"Hello Sophie...had a good sleep?" he asked,
"yes, thanks" sid Sophie nodding,
"Sit down" said Alex pointing to the chair infront of him, Sophie obayed,
"Sophie, you had a close call, not only did you nearly killed yourself but also we found traces of an old progam used to control people" said Alex,
"I know...my uncle Jack had it" said Sophie "Nero was using it so I would try and kill you",
"Good thing you didn't, we managed to undo the whole mess he made in your nogging but that doesn't mean he will give up" said Alex,
"What can we do to stop him?" asked Sophie,
"Easy, for months we have been trying to perfect an anti-splicing formula, kinda like an anti venom but we will use it to reverse the effects cause by splicing" said Alex and took a pause.
"We are close to cracking the formula but were missing a single ingrediant" said Alex,
"What is that?" asked Sophie,
"We need that serum that your grandfather daniel made, the pure adam injection" said Alex "sadly when Nero capture and "brainwashed" you he took a hold of it and only we can get it back",
"We?" asked Sophie,
"Yes, you and me, were both going to rescue your parents and get that serum" he said.
Sophie was impressed on how confident and cool headed Alex was,
"Now I need you to suit up and get ready before we leave, when your ready meet me at the exit of the outer persephone..its time to end this war" he said
