Mkay soooo heres the deal.
Its officially summer for me, I don't know about you but I intend to be writing longer chapters.
Mabye just tell me if you like the idea.
"Oh my god, oh my god, Is Jack gonna be okay? I heard loud thumps! Is he-"
"Maria shut the fuck up."
"Well sorry I worry for my dad!"
"Alex, Maria be quiet! I hear footsteps!" I whispered. Maria and Alex immediately seceded talking as we heard little pitter-pattering of feet run down the stairs. We heard voices but I couldn't make them out. When we finally could hear what they were saying all the air was sucked out of the cellar room.
"Isabel! How do we know that the'ye not like other big sisters? What if, what if they're angels in disguise?" A little girl's voice rang out from the room above."Don't worry! These big sisters seem friendlier! And they won't pick on Mr.B!" another ones voice was heard.
"They're in there! Who would put big sisters in a cave? That's just silly!" The cellar door started to giggle. "Eh? Why won't it open? BIG SISTER! HELP US OPEN THE DOOR!" the same voice called.
"they can't be…" memories long buried surface to the top of my mind. Me and my sisters laughing, playing, next to rotting old corpses. A knight in shining armor stood guard as we played. My sisters had to go with their own knights. The streets where paved with gold. White drapes and flowering ivy, broken glass and piles of rubble. An angel in a fine dress lay sleeping on the ground, its white wings etched into the carpeted floor. I took my toy and drove the tip into the sleeping angel's neck. The pretty floors and rose petals faded to reveal a fly-bitten, cloudy eyed, melted monster. The fine dress was taken by a black, ripped ,dirty dress stained with blood. Blood. The red stuff filled my toy, which was now a giant needle. When the needle was full, I stood up and drank the red fluid. I coughed and some spilled out of my mouth. It tasted so sweet. The red stuff. I looked in a window and saw my dirty red hair tied in a ponytail with an old ribbon. I wore a tattered orange dress and my eyes shone an amber glow. Blood decorated the corners of my mouth and dribbled down onto the dirty apron. The dark place where I saw that thing disappeared. The window was gone, and in its place a book shelf filled with many wonderful books. I saw Mr.B he was still my knight in golden armor. All of the sudden Mr.B burst into flames.
"MR.B!" I called but it was no use. My knight faced off against an angel. Mr.B would surely win! The angel fired from a gun. And Mr.B fell down. The light turned dim and Mr.B went limp. I stood and cried over the sleeping body of my knight.
"Wake up! Mr.B!" a hand grabbed my waist the angels got me! The angel gave a smirk and I tried to slap his hand away but he firmly placed it on my head and the white lights consumed me.
It wasn't a smirk it was a smile.
I stood up in the cellar room.
"I'm opening the door." I said. The other four girls gave cries of protest. I unlatched the door and it was pulled open. The door opened to reveal a little girl in a tattered blur dress and green blue eyes. She was kneeling at the entrance to the cellar. She had a surprised look on her face, which turned into a wide smile.
"My name is Isabel! What's yours big sister?" She asked. "My name is-"
"RARG let me out!" Maria cried as she shoved me out of the way. She climbed out and accidentally knocked over the little girl. She clamored around on the ground for a second until she stood up and ran up the stairs. The little girl sat on her knees.
"I'm sorry big sister! Just don't hurt daddy!" She squeezed her eyes shut. I got out of the cellar and picked up the little girl.
"Hey it's alright that was Maria, she didn't mean to knock you over."I said in a soothing tone. She looked up with big eyes.
"You're nice!" a grin once again spread across her face. Alex, Bailey, and Marsha all got out of the cellar.
"So what just happened?" Marsha asked her curly brown hair was a mess.
"Well, I don't really know…"I said.
"Athena, Abbey, Idony its okay! You can come out! They're nice big sisters!"She called over my shoulder at a pile of boxes most likely filled with papers or old newspapers. Three little heads popped out from behind one labeled 'fragile'. Isabel wiggled out of my grasp and scurried over to them. She whispered something to them and pointed to us. I turned to my sisters and they looked back. They each slowly got out from their hiding place and stood in a line. One by one they introduced themselves. Isabel has wavy dark brown hair and sea green eyes, Athena has straight blonde hair and warm gray eyes, Abbey has curly light brown hair and light blue eyes, and last but not least was Idony, and she had long ebony hair and cobalt eyes. They were all wearing tattered old dresses, dirt and blood was splattered all over them. They needed a bath. I knelt down to their eye level.
"Where are you from little ones?" I asked. I hopped they were not from 'that place'.
Idony spoke up, "That's a silly question big sister! We're from the castle in the sea! Do you remember daddy? Oh lets go met him! Come on come on!" she said as she grabbed my hand and pulled me up the stairs.
"Wait what do you mean by daddy?" I asked. That was the only thing that crossed my mind. Was this little girl really from Rapture? If so I hope they don't mean… Oh no. The door at the top of the stairs was open. The lock on it only let people exposed to ADAM enter. This is not good. She let go of my hand and ran up the hall way faster than me.
"Come on big sister!" she said as she rounded the corner into the living room. I saw bits and pieces of wood lying on the ground and glass littered the floor. I heard the sound of more little girls whispering and talking. I saw a girl my age carrying two girls. Then I heard footsteps. Loud, terrible, heavy footsteps. I rounded the corner to see a very old big daddy with his arm out stretched over the pile of debris that used to by our door. The mess suddenly floated earning gasps of amazement from the crowd of little girls in our living room. The big daddy flicked his wrist and it all shot out the doorway.
"Hey that's no way to clean it up!" I heard Jack's deep voice call from the other side of the room, I saw Maria unconscious laying on a sofa by the window. A gasp escaped my mouth as I leaned against the wall. Alex, Marsha, and Bailey came barreling down the hallway along with the three little sisters.
We all collided into each other and fell into a heap on the floor. There was a loud thud. And it was silent.
"Get off me!" Alex yelled as she shoved her way out of the pile. She hadn't yet seen the big metal monster standing about 3 yards away. She stood up and was faced towards us.
"Come on get up" She said helping Marsha and I up. The little sisters had somehow avoided getting tackled and walked towards the crowd of little sisters. Marsha took one look and her eyes got wide. She nudged Alex and pointed towards the bronze plated thing standing in our living room.
"Eh wha- HOLY" she said as she turned around and saw the behemoth. "HOW, WHAT, WHO WHAT IS GOING ON?" She said flailing her arms around.
Switch-a-do
There, how's that for clean?
"Hey that's no way to clean it up!" Jack shouted while holding the phone to his shoulder. He put it back to his ear and continued mumbling in the phone. I shrugged. Then a loud thump interrupted my thoughts. I looked at a clump of teenage girls laying on the ground. What the-
"Get off me!" the one with platinum blonde hair shouted. Everyone was looking at them. Yet she seemed to no notice her um current 'position'. She still did not notice the hoard of little girls or me yet. "Come on get up" she helped one with very curly hair up then one with frizzy red hair. The curly brown haired girl looked at me and her eyes got wide. She nudged the platinum blonde haired one and pointed to me. I shrugged. The Platinum blonde girl turned towards me. Please don't faint like the black-haired girl! Shock laced through her face.
"Eh wha-HOLY" she said, she jumped back and yelled "HOW, WHAT, WHO WHAT IS GOING ON?" she yelled waving her arms about. Umm how am I going to explain this, oh wait I don't have to! T hanks Eleanor for your kind sacrifice! I gave a thumbs up to Eleanor. She sighed.
"Wait until jack gets off the phone and we will talk." She said. They all just looked baffled.
"And that's a wrap Tenenbaum is coming over tomorrow to sort things out she will also take most of the girls to their respected homes, can't always have what ,20 ex-little sisters running around? For the mean time I'll introduce mine you introduce yours." He walked over to the confused looking group of teenage girls "this is Alex, Bailey, Marsha, and Ivy. The one that fainted is Maria. They are also ex-gatherers. My name is Jack Ryan, son of Andrew Ryan and Jasmine Jolene. And you are?" he asked. Jasmine Jolene? I remember seeing pictures of her in siren alley! Eleanor stood up,
"My name is Eleanor Lamb, this is my father, and my biological father…well I never knew him. My mother is Sophia Lamb leader of the family, also a gifted physiatrist. I grew up in Rapture isolated from the other children or as my mother referred to them 'trained on a diet of dog eat dog'. I was rebellious and hacked mother's security programs and stole her audio diaries. Mother was the only therapist in Rapture; she saw many people, and before long, made them blindly follow her. Andrew Ryan became suspicious and arrested her to Persephone. One of her patients, Grace Holloway, took me in and raised me like her own. Dionysus Park was mother's home, but with her gone she entrusted it to a man named Stanley Pole. He turned out to be a spy, leeching facts to lead against Lambs demise. He spent all of mother money on mad parties, and let mothers followers become animals. I found out and confronted him. I told him I would tell my mother what he did. He panicked. He sold me to the little sister's orphanage. I was turned into a little sister against my will. Gilbert Alexander took me into his care and bonded me to father. We were the first successful pair bonded couple to ever exist. We traversed the halls of Rapture until the year of 1958; mother escaped from prison and from what I heard Stanley Pole had flooded Dionysus Park and killed most of mother's followers. That same year I went out gathering with father, mother had apparently been tracking us and I ran ahead of father thinking it was safe, but I was wrong. Mother had found us and was with a gang of splicers. Father came to my rescue and killed all but one splicer who had thrown a hypnotize plasmid at him. Mother utilized this and made commit suicide in front of me. Mother took me away and removed my mental conditioning but she could not kill the slug in the lining of my stomach without killing me. In the span of 10 years I thought of a way to revive my father utilizing the vita chambers. He went through Rapture to find me with the help of Tenenbaum and Sin Clare. When he finally got to me mother stopped my heart long enough to sever our bond and almost kill father. When we finally escaped mother put me to sleep and repair our bond. We arrived here and she dumped us off here." She finished.
Well done. I have to say that was the closest thing to a summary of what just happened a couple days ago. Jack stood up from his seat (when did he sit down?).
"You sure talk a lot" he said and held out a hand to Eleanor she brought up her own, took hold of his and promptly shook it.
He turned to me and held out his hand. I took hold of his hand careful to do it very gently. You would be surprised at how easy it is to break human bones. Or a fork. I've actually found one and bent it to see the comparison both eerily easy. I shook his hand, which wasn't really shaking it, just sorta his hand grasped around 3 fingers then shaking that. He nodded and I nodded and he returned to the teenage girls.
Who where all staring at me.
Umm did I do something wrong? The one with the platinum hair suddenly stood up. She walked over to me and stood about 4 feet away.
"C-can I hug you?"
