A Return To Rapture(Shyone & Valchyrie)

[shyone]

The roar of the airplanes engines could be heard has it headed out over the oceans and towards it’s destination. There were only a few people who were on board this trip across the ocean and one of them was a young man who sat there in the back sleeping away. His name was Andol, and he was traveling across the ocean on some business that he had to take care of very soon or else his father might lose their company that they owned. Andol was supposed to be taking over it in about 5 years when he turned 26, but he felt like he wasn’t ready to do anything like that. Plus he had no desire to run the company anyway. He would prefer if he could to just relax and sleep things out maybe on a beach side resort somewhere. Maybe with someone to love him at his side… yeah that would be the nicest part of it all. Someone who really cared for him, instead of these ignorant women whom his father seemed to enjoy throwing at him, just because he wanted his son to have a wife and have yet another heir to pass on the throne of the family business.

Yet suddenly the young man found himself being thrown out of the deep sleep that had held onto him closely, as suddenly the people around him seemed to be panicking… He looked around and noticed that out his window there was smoke which was coming for one of the engines and form the way that the people in the plane where acting… they were probably going to be making an emergency landing. Of course it was when he looked down that he realized… they were still over the ocean! Andol could feel the dark fear grasping its icy fingers at his mind in that moment. Drowning seemed like a horrible way to die, and that was not the way that he wanted to check out. Yet unbuckling now would be deadly, and so he just held on for the ride, but steeled himself so that he could move as quickly as he could when he needed to. Then just when he least expected it to happen… BANG!!! With the crashing of the plane… all the light was taken from the young man’s eyes.

He found himself floating through a myriad of thoughts in his unconscious state, but the main one seemed to be that he felt like he was moving. He was not sure how, but he was moving deeper and deeper, and at a rate of speed that no sinking body could achieve. Even if trapped in an airplane. He didn’t know what was going on, but he was quite sure that he would indeed soon be dead… and it was not long… before Andol thought nothing at all…… Just as he began to see the light at the end of the tunnel he found himself being jerked back to reality as suddenly as he had lost it… the young man was lying on the floor, throwing up what he was could see was water. As his blurry vision could make out a figure that was running away, and what sounded like the noise of a rusty wheel being turned and then a pressure door being sealed… and then a chamber being flooded as water was expelled from somewhere ahead. He wondered what the fuck was going on, as he just laid there for a few moments, before finally deciding to get up and as his vision cleared… his eyes grew wide with disbelief.

The young man found himself surrounded by a city or at least the view of a city. It was all right outside a large glass window that was right in front of him. As he was finally able to get onto his feet… the young man slowly stumbled forward, until he finally found himself pressed against the glass and he found himself looking out over a sprawling underwater city… “What the fuck?” He found himself stumbling back in completely and utter disbelief in what was in front of his eyes. How did he get here? Plus more importantly where was here? He had never heard of any underwater cities before. There was just no way that this place was real, but indeed it was real, or else he would be dead and not standing here among wherever this place was. He looked around at what seemed to be a place of complete disarray and yet total… peace and quiet. In fact there was no one here, “Hello!!... Anybody home!!” Where the simple words that he called out with a hint of desperation in his voice as he began to wonder what it was could possibly have brought him here, and was he trapped in this place… all alone.

That was when he saw it… out of the corner of his eye he saw movement in the water outside of the glass. It seemed to be an almost familiar look to it, but he just could not put his finger on. Then suddenly he saw it shoot across his view, but he still didn’t get a good look at it as he called out, “Hey wait…” Going up to the glass he called out again, “Come back!” He then followed along the glass, hoping that maybe it would indeed come back to him, and hopefully it would be a person, and they could tell him the way to get out of this crazy place.

Another day in that cursed placed, Rapture. Trishie was swimming around at the old parts of the Rapture, watching the Splicers doing their small business there. They weren't that active anymore, at least not when it came to going to the newer places of the Rapture, where some people still lived, but if those normal sane people, should venture into the old parts of the Rapture, they were sure to be killed by the Splicers. She looked at the two Splicers through the glass, and one of them caught site of her now. "Look! There it is! I told you it existed! I'm not as stupid as you say I am!" he exclaimed to his friend, who just turned around and looked out through the glass and onto Trishie. They both walked over to the glass, banging a little on it "Hello there lady fish, can you talk? Can hear us? Why are you out there all alone? Come in and have fun with us." he grinned, his female companion just looking at Trishie the whole time. Trishie didn't make any moves though, instead, she just slowly swam away again, not caring what the Splicers had in mind, it was never anything good, so there was no reason to stay there and listen to them.

Suddenly, as she was swimming through the old parts of the Rapture, she looked up to the surface, there was a long way up to the surface of the water, a very long way, but her eyes made it possible to look the whole way up there, and she saw a shadow of something big falling down towards the water, and she wondered what it could be, though she had an idea, since it wasn't the first time those human things had come crashing down here. She started swimming upwards slowly, not going too far away from the Rapture, just a little, and then she saw the pig machine come crashing into the water, and starting to sink slowly. Instead of doing anything, she just watched it sink, following it slowly until it hit the bottom. She then started circling it a little, looking in through the windows, there was only one surviving man in there, and even though he seemed to be awake, he didn't seem to actually know that he was standing up and walking a little. She swam over to the exit door of the plane and opened it, they were right outside one entrance to the Rapture, so he wouldn't be that wet really, and she got in there, grabbing him and running back out of the airplane and putting him into the chamber. Soon, he was saved and lying in the old parts of the Rapture, if you wanted to called that being saved that is.

She swam away from the airplane fast, and away from the place she had dumped the guy off, she knew that she couldn't be seen by humans, even though she was the one they referred to as "Big Sister" or some people actually referred to her as "Mother" but they had never seen her, they just knew something was looking after the sane people at the new parts of the Rapture. She was swimming around again, searching some old stuff in the water, when she suddenly heard the man she had saved from the other side of the glass, and quickly started swimming away again, swimming deeper into the Rapture, if the man followed her, she was sure he would be killed, but she couldn't let him see her either, to him, she did not exist, and this place shouldn't had existed to him either, but he was here now, and she just had to stay out of his sight.

Now though, she came to the glass she had been at before, where the Splicers were, and they were still there, having a small fire in a trash can, just to heat up the place a little. She looked into the room again and looked at the Splicers standing there. One of them saw her again "Look, fishy is back! Hey fishy!" he said and waved to her with a grin, his completely green eyes looking at her. She was disgusted by him, but none the less, she stayed there, looking in to see if she could do something to get them away, not because of the man that she had saved, but because they were a little too close to one of the long hallways leading to the new parts of the Rapture. Sure, she could break the glass so the whole place would be filled with water, but she didn't want to destroy the place, she just wanted to get rid of the Splicers. She could see a gun on the floor, not that she needed one, but it was there, and she wondered why a gun was lying on the floor now.

The male Splicer walked over to the gun and picked it up, walking over to Trishie that was on the other side of the glass "Do you want this shiny thing fishy?" he asked with a smile, leaning his head against the glass "What about a kiss beautiful? Then you can have this shiny piece of gold." he grinned, pressing his lips against the glass. The female Splicer rolled her eyes and gave a small laugh "Hah! Like anyone would ever kiss you, you brain dead moron!" the male Splicer growled a little and turned around to look at her, throwing the gun over to the entrance to the room and walking back over to the female Splicer "And what do you know about that huh!? I am actually a ladies man! It just so happens that there aren't many ladies down here anymore, so we have to take what we can get, right Fishy?" he looked back over at Trishie, who just kept starring at them with her beautiful red eyes, her white skin, her gorgeous blue hair, and her big tale. She had her eyes on them the whole time, and she didn't really have any idea on how to get them away, but hopefully she would have it solved before they decided to move further into the Rapture.

Andol contiuned to wonder through this abandoned place as he continued foward to try and see if he could spot the thing that he had seen outside of the window. As he began to think about it, he was quite sure that whatever it was that he had seen just moments ago, had probably been what had pulled him form the wreckage of the airplane. He wanted to meet whatever it was, and he wanted to see if he could thank it for saving him, but he also wanted to see if maybe it had a way out. Plus Andol had a fear of being alone, it was just a slight pobhia that had bothered him for quite a long time, but it was there and he knew that being down here in this abandoned place ment that he would obviously have to deal with it. So he countiuned to look around and then again he saw the shadow and then what looked to be a person who was swimming around outside of the glass tunnel that he was now in. He called out to her saying, "Please just come back, I want to speak to you." That was all he really wanted, was to just ask how to get out of here. He really ment no harm...

"Speaks to use... he says he wants to speaks to us." That was when Andol finally noticed the group of people that where standing down at the end of the hall, and for a moment a smile crossed his face, as he realized that he was not down here alone. Yet that feeling was quickly wiped away the instant that the group turned to looked at him, with there faces that seemed to be messed up, or covered in masked. The snaggle tooth grins that speard across there faces as one of them said, "Well if you wants to speaks then speaks..." Andol for the first time sinice he had arrived wished that he was indeed still alone. The young man began to back up to try and get away form the man in the group who had only moments before been paying attention to the fish like creature, but now wanted to change his attention to Andol. Of course the young man also noticed the fish creature was floating outside the tub, but right now escape mattered more than that. Yet suddenly he heard a loud noise behind him, and jumped foward barely in time as a pressure door was sealed behind him...

The female laughed out in a screech saying, "Now the fresh meat isn't going anywhere...", as she stood there with her hand on a button that she had just pressed. The man contiuned to approch the now trapped young man who had no where to go. It was then that Andol noticed that there was pistol sitting there on the ground next to him, and he quickly reached over and picked it up... and after fumbling with it for a moment he had it cocked and said, "Don't come any closer..." His words where stumbling out of his lips in fear, "I will shoot..." The Splicer just laughed at what was probably a empty threat on the part of this new arrival. Andol was so afarid, he didn't want to die down here and he certianly didn't want to die at the hands of someone who was probably going to rip his body to shreads... The young man closed his eyes and just pointed the gun foward and pulled the tigger...

A shot rang out in the tube as suddenly the Splicer stopped in his tracks. A bullet was logded right bettewen his eyes, as he dropped to his knees... the death of the man was instant. Andol's eyes slowly opened as he looked at his dead foe before him, and realized for the first time that he had killed someone... He had really killed someone... The other Splicers just seem to stare at the young for a few moments as they seemed stunned that this little worm of a human had really killed one of there own. He looked just one of those people form the newer part of Rapture where the people still lived normally, and those people whose soliders had kept them form being able to come into the nicer area of rapture. Plus it was those who had made the Big Daddys for protecting there nicer and still fuctioning way of life... with those enraging thoughs in mind. The Splicers let out a yell and charge right at Andol, who was trying to pull the trigger and realized that his gun was completely out of bullets...

 

[Valchyrie]

Trishie had seen the male that she had rescued, come into the room, the doors shutting behind him. What a foolish human! He couldn't just have stayed in his place and waited for his rescue! Trishie saw him pick up the gun though, and shoot one of the Splicers in the head, making him fall and dropping dead instantly. Okay, so the male could defend himself, but that didn't really help now that the gun had run out of bullets, what bad luck for the new comer. Trishie looked around her a little, wondering what she should do, if she should actually help the male in there or not, but she thought it would be best to lend him a hand before he was killed, so she swam out of sight for the Splicers and for the new comer, like she was leaving him alone. The Splicers grinned at the sight of her swimming away "Seems like your our lunch tonight, too bad Big Sister couldn't save you, maybe we'll give you some sexual pleasure before dying." the female Splicer grinned.

It was all looking really bad now, the Splicers getting closer to the male now. They grinned slightly at him, one of them holding a wrench in it's hand, the female holding a steel pipe, it was all going to be a bloody mess, but Splicers didn't really care about that, they had fresh meat, and that was all they needed. The female Splicer grinned again as she was close to the male now "Now my little lunch, let's hear you scream." she grinned, raising the steel pipe to hit him hard in the head. Though before she could do anymore, a loud crash was heard from the ceiling, and the shark kind of woman came down through it, holding a big block of concrete that closed the hole in the ceiling she had made, so she kept the water out, and she landed on the female Splicer, biting her head, and ripping it off with her mouth. The other Splicer looked at her with his wrench in his hand and let out a roar "Fucking Big Sister! I'll kill you!" he ran towards her now with his wrench.

Trishie turned around and looked at the new comer first, not really caring about the male Splicer with the wrench, and she just looked at the new comer for a few moments, without saying anything, her red eyes just looking at him. Then she turned around again to look at the male Splicer that had raised his wrench to hit her, but before he could hit, her tale had wrapped around his body and was now flinging him around in the air, before throwing him against the thick glass, breaking all his bones inside him. Then she grabbed the trash can that were still on fire and walked over to him, and he was now lying on the ground. She turned the trash can upside down, and then she lowered it down over the Splicer who just screamed "No, no, NO!!!!!!" and then screamed in pain from burning.

Soon, the scream died out, and Trishie turned around to look at the male that had come crashing down with the airplane. She walked over to him, in all her beauty and sexyness, since she didn't wear any clothing, and looked down at him, she was that much taller, he went to her breasts, which had a nice average size, though her nipples were completely black. She gave him a sign that told him to follow her as she turned around and walked out of the room, walking down the hall that was leading to the newer place. She would just take him to the doors that lead into the newer place, and then she would leave him before he walked in through the doors, so that no one would see her, that was how she lived the life in the Rapture, being their unseen protector.

 

[shyone]

Andol looked in horror at the Splicer that stood in fornt of him and seemed to grin down at him with that evil look. He couldn't beleive that this was going to happen to him, and when suddenly he realized that not only where they going to kill him... they where going to eat him. Well it just made all color drain form the young mans face. This was not the way that he wanted to die, and not even the statement about sexual pleasure before they killed him helped at all... in fact it just made it worse. That was not the way that he wanted to have his last moments spent, being raped by these things. He had alwauys imaged his first time as being a very romantic thing, that he would be able to share with someone that he loved... yet it seemed that this would not be what happen. Tears softly began to run down his face as what he thought would be the end of his life quickly approched...

He even looked to see if he could maybe lay his eyes on the creature that had saved him, for just one last time, but she was not there. For some reason he had really wanted to be able to lay his eyes on the creature agian, and maybe get a better look at her than what he had seen before. Yet this was not going to happen, and for some reason... it seemed to make his tears flow just a bit faster as he closed his eyes and prepared himself to be beaten up and probably eaten alive, but the blow form the pipe never came when suddenly he heard the crash form the ceiling above, and like a angel desending form heaven he saw his savior come down out of the sea and threw the glass above... killing one of the deranged people faster than he could blink. Some of the blood form where the shark like creature had been off the Splicers neck spattered onto Andol's face, but for some reason it didn't bother him as he wacthed the scene unfold before him.

Andol then found himself staring this creature dead in the eyes. Those red eyes which seemed to be cold and caculating, but at the same time there was a soft sense of warmth and sadness that just made the young man want to reach out and hug her. He wasn't sure wethier or not it was the fact that she had saved him twice or not, but he was quite sure that he could trust her... just by looking deep into her eyes... he was quite sure that she was someone that he could indeed trust. He waited until the other Splicer was so esaily finished off by a creature who obviously held a lot of power, which actually didn't cause Andol to fear her, but only made him more curious as the creature apporched him... he just stood there and wondered about what it was that she could possiably want with him.

As she closed the distance he realized that not only was he looking up at her, but that also she was completely nude... and it was this fact that made the young man blush slightly. It was somthing that was quite esay to tell on his pale skin, and so it took him a few moments to realize that she wanted him to follow her. Sinice he was trying to regain his composure... "Oh ok..." So he quickly started to follow behind her for a few moments before that curious nature of his realized that this was his chance to get some answers, "So I guess I should thank you for saving me back there....so thank you" He waited a few moments as he tried to think of what to ask and so asked, "What is this place?... Where you the one that brought me down here, becuase I really apperatice that." He smiled softly at her as he hoped that she would talk before he asked what he knew would be the most improtant question at first, "So do you have a name?... You can call me Andol." It was obvious that he was not bothered by the fact that she was shark creature... in fact that only made him more fascinated.

 

[Valchyrie]

Trishie looked at Andol, as he had presented himself, as he started talking, saying all kinds of things and just rambling a little. She shrugged slightly when he asked his questions and stopped in front of the doors that was leading into the new area of the Rapture. She looked at him for a moment "You're in the underwater city called Rapture, a cursed place, but in there, you'll be safe with the other people living down here. Yes, I pulled you out of the airplane, and this will be the last time that you see me, and you can not tell anyone that you spoke with me, or that you have seen what I look like." she said, looking back at the doors again that was leading into the new area of the Rapture. The doors were rather big really, though she didn't remember them being that big, then again, the people living in the new areas always improved their security, and that meant making the doors stronger too, and bigger, maybe even thicker some times too.

She looked back at Andol "You can not leave this place, there is no way out of here for humans, you just have to stay away from the old areas of the Rapture, or those Splicers will have you, and maybe some Big Sisters and Daddys will come after you too, and whatever you do, if you ever venture into the old areas, do not talk with the small children, they are not human, and they always have a Daddy near them, so do not approach them, just hide and get away." she said and walked over to a small hatch that would lead her out into the water again. She looked back over at him again "If you have any other questions, ask them now before I have to leave you to live with the other humans here." she said, in a protective kind of way though. Not only was she rather tall, but she also did have some muscles that you could see on her body, though it didn't ruin her feminine sides at all. Her name? No, he wouldn't get her name just like that, then he would maybe tell the others he would meet up with, what her name was, and before she would know it, they were all hunting to find her and see this creature, and that was the last thing she needed, they would not accept a creature like her to protect them.

Her thoughts went back to thinking about some of the things she had to do that day, but this guy was keeping her back from doing much so far, and if he kept going like this, he would need more protection than she had given him now, though then again, she was sure the other humans in the new Rapture area would take good care of him, learn him how to shoot better and such, it wouldn't be that much of a problem, and then Trishie could get along with her tasks, tasks that usually kept her busy the whole day, and some times the whole night, it really depended on how much the Splicers were up too, and how many Big Sisters and Daddys she would run into, she always made sure that all entrances to the new Rapture was closed, so that they wouldn't get in there if they tried, but that also meant she had to go into the old Rapture a lot of the time to check the doors, and it never went silent when doing that, there were always Splicers that were trying to get her, no matter what time she checked the doors.

She shook her head though and came back to reality and looked at Andol that was still looking at her "So, did you have some more questions for me or what? I don't have time to just stand here, and the people in there will probably be happy to see a new face, it's been some time since they've seen someone new here, so you should have fun with meeting them and such, I can bring you the rest of your belongings if you have something in the airplane you want back, but you have to tell me now, so that we can arrange a time we can meet again, so that you can get your stuff, without the others knowing, so if you want it, tell me now." she said, nodding at him a little.

 

[shyone]

Andol continued to follow along behind her as he lisitined closely to her expliantion of where they where... and also a bit about where they where going. Andol wasn't sure about all of this, and plus he was getting the feeling form her tone of voice that this would indeed be his new home for the rest of his life. He looked at her curiously and said, "Wait you mean I can't go back to the surface..." He wasn't sure though that he wanted to go back really... his life had been pretty bad up there. That plane trip had really been the last of his resourses being used up, and so now wherever he ended up he would be broke and so maybe being down here would end up being the best thing for him. He just stared at her as she headed over the direction of the hacth and he stepped forward... he didn't really want her to go.

She hadn't told him anything about herself and she was really the only person that he knew down in this place. Andol always disliked being around a group of unfimilar people, when he didn't have someone that he knew around. "What a mintue... why can't you come with me. I mean can't I just stay with you?... I really would prefer that, becuase I don't like being around a lot of people I don't know." He looked at her with a look that seemed to softly pled with her not to go, and plus he still had not gotten the most improtant peice of information of all... "You still have not told me your name silly." He smiled softly again as he looked at her, and then just as suddenly as things at started to become peaceful... klaxons began to go off and red lights began to start flashing as the door that had been closed before suddenly started to open, and out of it poured soldiers form the New Rapture Army...

Yet not only that, but there was a Big Daddy of the Delta seris outside that was blocking the way out of the tunnel... and there where some of the larger models coming down the hall in the direction of the pair and you could tell what they where going to do, by what was being said, "Capture the creature alive... what happens to the newcomer is unimprotant, but try not to harm him." The soldier started to shot darts at her that when they hit would bury into the skin and would start to knock her out with a speical substance that had been made to take her down. The Big Daddys where there to provide support if need be and there Rivet Guns where loaded with the same darts. They soon opened fire, as Andol dived to get away, but he dived to hide behind Trishie, and not with the humans... he only trusted her and no one else at the moment.

 

[Valchyrie]

Before Trishie could have answered any of his questions, soldiers came out from the new area of the Rapture, shooting at her with Rivet bullets. She growled at them and looked as the male jumped behind her to hide and be in safety, though that was basically the one place the he was in danger, behind her. She looked at the Delta Daddy that was there, and shrugged slightly, she wouldn't kill it, she just would set it out of the game temporarily. She jumped onto the walls and onto the ceiling, then running towards the Delta Daddy, making sure to dodge the other things being shot at her, and then she jumped off again, jumping towards the Big Daddy and kicking him hard in the stomach, making him stumble backwards, her tail then coming from his side, smashing him down the hall way, making him role and hit some hard poles on the way down, the suit breaking a little, a few cracking sounds could be heard too.

Then she turned around quickly and ran back to the hatchet, opened it fast and jumped out, having been hit a few places, but nothing too serious, and she closed the hatchet after her fast, so there wouldn't come too much water into the hall and then she swam out of sight fast, swimming to the only place that they hadn't found in the new area yet, a room that was rather dark, but was lit up with a light blue color from the water outside the glass. It had a few tables and some old train rails that had been there when she found the room the first time. It looked old, but again, the rails looked like they had been used recently, but it went into the water, which was strange, but none the less, she enjoyed her space herself, and she tended to her wounds.

The soldiers looked at her as she escaped through the hatchet, shooting after her still until the hatchet closed and then they stopped firing. The army leader looked at the new comer and walked over to him "Welcome to New Rapture, you're lucky we came out here now, you never know what the creatures down here will do to you, even if they seem friendly, they might just be playing you. Come on, get in and see your new home." he said with a friendly smile and then turned around and walked into the New Rapture area, getting the soldiers back into their positions and then closing the doors after the new comer came into the area too, sealing it shut so no one could come in from the outside. Then, the leader of the soldier went back to his own place and continued with his daily routine.

People were walking around in the new area, feeling happy and great. There were private rooms that the people lived in, rooms just as big as normal houses in the world on the surface. It was clean and pretty everywhere, pictures hanging up, beautiful really. A guy came over to Andol and smiled at him "Welcome to the New Rapture new comer, my name is George, head of the group that welcomes new people here to the Rapture, even though we don't get a lot of new people. You're lucky the soldiers saved you, a creature like her could easily have killed you. Now, what kind of room would you like? Big luxury? Or small and such? Oh and do you plan to have a family? If so, you should probably have a big room. Now, come on, while you answer those questions, let me show you around." he smiled and started showing Andol around.

 

[shyone]

Andol contiuned to panic as the choas went on around him, and he quickly realized that if he wanted to surivive what was going on, he might want to step away form the creature. It was not somthing that he really wanted to do, sinice he had just gotten to know her, but for now it was for his own safty that he retreated back in the direction that the soldiers had all come form. He ducked down behind there firing lines and then turned around and wacth the battle that happened before his eyes. What he found himself witnessing was a unbelievable clash of Titians as the shark like female fought against some man inside of a gaint scuba suit. Form what he could tell, the man inside must have been very very strong, to be able to take blows like that, and keep on ticking. Yet has he had suspected, the shark like girl was indeed the stronger of the two, or else so many people would not be out here trying to capture her. He was just gald to see her get away and head off somewhere into the deep.

Once she was gone though he quickly found his attention deverted back to the leader of the Army... whom at first he looked at with a bit of annoyance, but his face quickly changed to that of a more friendly disposition... "Thank you for the rescue sir, I mean it really wasn't needed. She saved my life, so I don't think she really ment me any harm. In fact I don't even think I would be alive and here in this place if it was not for that strange creature." He then paused for a second and asked, "By the way could you tell me what 'that' was anyway? It wouldn't give me much information about itself while we where talking there for a few mintues." He walked beside the man while he waited for his answers, and yet at the same time found himself quite supirsed at the sudden contrast in the condintions of these two area's of Rapture. As well as those who inhabited them... these people form he could tell where in much much better shape than the Spilcers that he had run into before.

As he walked into the place he suddenly found himself talking to a man whom he hardly knew, and as had happened many times before Andol's shy nature got the best of him as he softly seem to withdraw a bit form the stranger. Still he felt the need to defend the creature who had saved him form the peoples comments, "I really don't think she would have hurt me. As quickly as she took down whatever you call those guys in the giant scuba suits... I am sure she could have killed me long before you guys arrived if she had wanted." Yet he diecded to let the subject drop as he looked around at the way that Rapture looked around him in the new area. His eyes where wide at the almost 1950s decorm and dress of the people and places that where around him. He found it to be almost nice and peaceful really, and of course when the other man asked him about where he wanted to live he thought about it for a second... he figured that sinice he didn't know where life was going to take him while was down here he figured that maybe it would be best to opt for a bigger house since it would allow him room to expand in case he actualy wanted a family, "Well maybe a larger house would be nice, especially one with a nice view of the ocean, and the rest of the city. I have never lived underwater like this, so this is all just so new and I would like to be able to see it all more..." He smiled happily at the thought.

Yet he also thought of that creature that he had met and he knew that he would have to do whatever it was that he could to try and find her again. He wanted to talk to her, and maybe meet her, and so he did ask, "Uhmm sir could you tell me about that creature that I ran into... I wanted to know more about it, since it is obvious that it is somthing that can threaten my life and is somthing that I should be wacthing out for." He knew that he had to add in those things so that the people didn't think that he was going off to look for the creature sinice it was obvious that they wanted to capture it, and there was no way in hell he was ever going to let them do that to her. He just couldn't becuase he could tell she just wanted to be left alone.

George looked at him as he asked about the creature that he had seen. George hadn't seen it before, but he had lived long enough down in the Rapture to know that any creature that wasn't human, were a threat to those that tried to survive, and if they didn't defend themselves, they would certainly die within a short period of time, and he knew that the creature that had just escaped, was no better than the others, or well, at least he and the others thought so, and you couldn't really blame them, they were just trying to defend their own lives and live peacefully until the day they might get back again, if that day ever comes, but he really didn't count on that, it were very few people that knew about this place, and those who accidentally came here, and still comes here, are the ones crashing in an airplane, or a ship sinking or something, and no one ever investigates it, because it's lying in the Bermuda Triangle, and everyone knows that the place is cursed, and all the disappearing that have happened there, have only made them believe that much stronger, so chances for a rescue were close to none existing.

George then finally answered his question "I don't know much about that creature, it's the first time I've seen it so close, I've seen it's shadow, but that was about it, I was never fast enough to actually catch a glimpse of it, until today, and I could just see that it was evil and up to no good. But the guards saved you and got it to run away, that's what's important right now. Though besides that creature, there are the old Big Daddys too, and Big Sisters, and those, well, you should be very careful around those, besides the ones in here, the ones in the old Rapture are killers, same with the Big Sisters out there too, but then again, I doubt you would ever go out there on your own, only a fool would do that." he laughed a little and nodded slightly to the fact that he wanted a bigger room with a view. "We have just the room for you then!" he smiled leading him to a rather large room that had a big double bed in the middle of it, a closet at one side, a door leading out to a bathroom, and a small kitchen area, it was very luxury really, silk sheets and such. "This is your place then, the others have the same materials, this is just a bigger room." he said with a smile.

The view from the room was amazing. You could look over the underwater city, seeing how it had been ruined, but you could also see some of the new areas that were beautifully build, and some of it was still being build, which meant they had jobs down here too, jobs with building, probably cooking, kindergartens, and so on, who knew how big this place actually was when you got deeper into it? But still, it was a good thing that building and a rather normal life was going on down there, it meant that people had adapted to the new surroundings and started creating a life that would be just as good as the life on the surface.

George looked at Andol and smiled "I hope you like the view here, we all have great views in our rooms, I love my view, so I hope you'll get to like this place too. We do have supermarkets and everything too, it took some time to get it all build up and fixed, but we have it now, and we've figured out how to grow our own food and so on, so don't worry, it'll be just like on the surface, but under water instead, and of course with minor changes too." he smiled a little again "Okay, that was all for now, I'm going to leave you to it now, and then you can walk around a little if you want, just don't go into the old Rapture, that's all I ask of you, you won't only bring yourself in danger, you'll also bring all of us together, since some of them might slip in through the door and then all hell will break loose. I live at 7th Waterbubble Street, so if you need me, just come and find me there, for now, welcome to The New Rapture." he smiled, and then went out of the room and closed the door behind him, leaving Andol alone.

Andol lisitined to the man closely, nodding his head as he followed him to what he was sure would be his new home... yet still he could not help, but to defend the creature. It had saved his life, and he didn't really like to hear people talking that badly about it, "Yet without it I would be dead by now... it killed the Splicers who where trying to hurt me." He sighed after he spoke and just kind of gave up on really trying to convice these people of anything. He knew a bit about human nature and there where plently of people out there who didn't accept things that where differnt form the norm. He had experianced that himself in his life time, but he guessed that down here in Rapture, what is considered the norm and what wasn't certianly was a bit differnt than those things on the surfuce. He just hoped that maybe... just maybe, he would be able to see that creature again for himself, and thank her for what she had done for him.

He was partially paying anttention so that the other man would not thing of him as being rude, "Yeah I will have to avoid those then, but the creature said somthing about little girls running around that I should always stay away form? What did it mean by that?" Andol had really yet to any other mention of little girls sinice he had left that shark like thing's side. Yet soon he found his thoughts on such matters completely wiped away as he found himself standing right in the middle of his new home... his eyes growing wide as he looked around at everything... walking over the bed he laid down on the silk sheets and ran his hands gently over it, saying... "It is prefect.. I mean while I was up on the surfuce I never had any place this nice to stay. So George how do I get money while I am down here, I mean I am sure I will have to pay for all of this at some point right?... Plus I am guessing that this is the biggest rooms that most people live in right, or do the more wealthy stay in bigger accomidations?" Andol wasn't sure about how class and cash all worked in this place...

While the young man was waiting for a answer he got up and went over to look out at the view of New Rapture that laid before him. Everything was lit up it seemed by that nice underwater bluelight that the sea seemed to give off. Yet there where still lights on that flashed form inside of New Rapture, which was in stark contrast to the older part of the city that he could see. The youth couldn't believe what he was seeing, of course that was when he noticed somthing out of his window... part of New Rapture didn't have the lights on... in fact it didn't even look like it was being used. Now that was instresting, maybe that would be a good place to go and look around. So he wouldn't be bothered by anyone who wouldn't want him snooping... or want him to not get hurt. So he turned back around and faced George to listin to the other male until he was finished, and then asked a few more questions such as, "Oh yeah where can I buy some new clothes?... Mine are all soaked, and push where do you guys sell food, sinice I am hungry." He deicded to take care of those things first before heading off to look around that part of New Rapture that he had seen out his window...

Before George went out, he answered a few of Andol's questions "Don't worry about the Little Girls, you won't see them as long as you stay away from the Old Rapture, as we've told you too. As for food, we have several supermarkets and such where you can buy that, and you can find jobs down here too. It's really just the same as on the surface, but I find it more fascinating down here than up on the surface, and I'm sure that you will get to think like that too in a very short while. Well, I'm going to go now, need some food myself, go explore the New Rapture if you feel like it, we are a very open society." he smiled and walked out of the room again. When he was outside, he pulled up a voice recorder and clicked record "We haven't had any new comers to the Rapture for a long while, we have to make sure that he is okay and stay safe, but I doubt he would go to the old Rapture, voice recorder, since we've told him that it would be very dangerous, and I don't think he would go and look for that devil creature either, that creature was even stronger and much more evil than those damned Splicers. Oh well, it's time for food, so I'll talk with you later voice recorder." he said and stopped recording, putting it back down into his pocket.

Trishie was in her own area of the New Rapture, where the sane people hadn't come out yet, they had never ventured this far into the New Rapture, so they hadn't found this room yet, which Trishie used to her advantage and made it her home, though she was pretty sure it would only be temporary, but then again, she was fine with it, it was her home yes, and no one liked getting their home destroyed or taken over, but it was how she would have to live if she wanted to continue protecting the people down here. Of course she didn't just protect them because it was fun or anything, or because she had interest in them, she had her own goals. New Rapture had been build by a woman that came down there after the Old Rapture had been destroyed and filled with Splicers, but the problem was, that this woman were like the ones who made the Old Rapture, and she knew very well how that went the last time. Of course the new people in the New Rapture couldn't see this, because they just thought she was doing a good job, after all, she had given them a new home right? But she had her own motives, and Trishie knew that, and not just that, but the woman had made it harder for her kind to live too, since they had a lot of natural Eve in them, and of course the woman wanted that, and Trishie couldn't allow that, of course, and therefore she had started protecting the people down there, which made them think that there were something else that protected them, besides the Deltas and such, and that way, Trishie could get closer to the woman.

It was getting late now, and the people in New Rapture was going into their own homes, light poles in the halls and areas was turned on, just in case some people wanted to go outside. In the night life, teenagers came out too, and they had bars and clubs they could go too, and dance and have fun and drink, again, just like the surface, just in another environment, and the teenagers didn't seem to mind that, and it wasn't only teenagers that went out of course, adults did too, just like in the surface life. The night time made the sea a lot darker of course, since no sunlight lit up the water anymore, which could make it rather scary, but if something swam by the windows and glass, you would still be able to see the shadow of that thing, but you wouldn't be able to see what it was, which forced you to trust that the glass could hold back anything that might want to harm you, and of course it could, so people had started becoming less scared of it, even though they still jumped up in the air everytime they were surprised by a shadow.

 

[shyone]

Andol wacthed sliently as the other man left and he walked over to look out of his window... somthing that he realized would be his view for the rest of his life. Now that he was now here in the place he wondered if there would be a way to get home. Of course form the way that it seemed these other people talked about it... there really was no other way that one could get home. He was stuck down here until... well... he died. Which might not be all bad, especially if he could find that creature and talk to it, maybe even befriend it if he was lucky. Andol really never had liked spending time around other people, which was why on the surface he had handled animals. Yet now down here it seemed living among the large ruins of this city was a creature that was not human, but would be able to intreact with him as though it was. He knew that there was no way he was going to let his chance of being around it go. He was going to seek her out, and he was sure that he had a idea where she might have went sinice he had been paying attention when she swam off.

It was at the moment that he made a move for the door that suddenly he felt his body shiver all over a just a small little gust form a near by vent. He quickly realized that he needed to change cloths. Not only that, but with the way his stomach was rumbling... he figured that it would probably be a good idea to get some food. Of course he realized that he had absouletely no money, which only made him sigh and shake his head in fustration until he noticed that there was a wad of bills on his counter with a little note form George saying, 'Here is a bit... just to help you get started.' It was about $2500 in cash... which Andol wasn't really sure exactlly how much money that was when it came to down here, but he was most certianly greatful for the gift. Now he could get some clean clothes and put some food in his belly. Maybe even get somthing nice for that creature later on if that was what it took to get her to like him.

So that was exactlly what he did as he left his home with the money in his pocket. He walked along the streets until he found a store which seemed to sell some clothes that he could buy, which where not as fancy, as what he was wearing... but he really didn't want anything to expensive. No it was better to just have somthing that was comforntable and would be esay to move aorund in. He also had 3 other outfits sit to his home... one of them though was a bit expenise becuase it was ment to make him look nice if he ever need to. So while at the store the young man changed into the new more comforntable clothes and headed off to find the cheapest diner that he could, and indeed he found it. Plus it was luckily close to the area of New Rapture that was heading. It was a small place named, 'Jakes Seafood' and they served decent food there that had been collected form the near by ocean. Most food in Rapture was gathered in that manner, but it was all in how they prepared it, that diecded who had the best.

Andol happily ate the shrimp that was put on his plate and drank the Coke which had come with it. He was quite supirsed that they had that down here, but it made him happy to have somthing form the surface that he could recongize. So he did his best to finish up his meal at a decent speed so he could get to his search for the creature that had saved him. So after paying and leaving the resturant he headed into the part of New Rapture that nobody lived it, and deicded that it would be best to start here... sinice he didn't want to go to Old Rapture to look, and maybe that creature would stay in this area out of the same safty that could be received form being in New Rapture. So this was where he began his sreach. The area seemed kind of run down and there were rooms all over the place, that he knew would probably be used in the future, but for now seemed abandoned. Over the next few hours the young man ventured futher and futher into the rundown area of New Rapture, and soon diecded that he would have to try and open up one of the doors... the first few he tried he couldn't open, but it was the last one at the end of the hallway that seemed to just slip open and soon he was inside.

It was a rather nice room in his option with tables and chairs and everything, of course that was when he noticed the rails that lead into the water and he looked at them curiously. Why in the heck would such a thing be in room like this. Well that didn't matter, he diecded to look around the room some more, and so he moved futher in... luckily for Trishie, the human had not noticed her yet, so she had a the first chance to make whatever move she thought was needed.
