Me voilà seul, là où personne ne pourra plus jamais me voir. Je pensais me rendre là où tout prend fin pour boucler ce cercle vicieux. Je suis sortis, sortis de tout ce qui est. Et pourtant...

READ DA TITLE

I've been reading a lot of these stories recently. So I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring.

Subject Zeta was a fifteen year old girl, living in a city called rapture. Although, this city was a run down, with buildings broken, water flowing through them, splicers running everywhere, big daddies and little sisters dying off by the minute- without a leader, Rapture was going insane. Sofia Lamb had left the surface with her daughter, and Subject Delta. Now the year 1970, one year after the Lamb family went to the surface. And it just so happens that Zeta discovers things that she shouldn't have discovered. Like who she really is, or the woman who can manipulate time. Even a city in the sky. |This will be updated whenever and it is based off of every Bioshock game. Trigger warnings for blood/gore/violence|

"Rapture is the body, Sofia Lamb is the voice. Big Sister is the left hand. The Daughter of the People is the right hand. Eleanor is the Messiah to save us all". -Audiodiary Years after Andrew Ryan's death, a small family takes a lucky vacation to Rapture. Most likely, like the rest, they are blinded by the beauty to see their fate has been sealed. Sofia Lamb kills her surface friends and takes their daughter as her own, originally planned to have her as the same chain fate with Eleanor, she instead created her into an elite protector known as "The Daughter of the People." The girl, Estrella, scarred by the darkness of War in Rapture fights alongside Delta to get to the surface with a family she hopes to keep. ((Spoilers from BioShock and BioShock 2))

❝ Watching her with the Big Daddy, it was suddenly so clear. It wouldn't stop, it would never leave her. It would never hurt her or shout at her or get drunk and hit her or say it was too busy to spend time with her. And it would die to protect her. Of all the powerful men in Rapture over the years, this thing, this freak of science, was the only thing that measured up in an insane world, it was the sanest choice. ❞

Je crus sombrer quand une idée me traversa l'esprit. Et si nous éliminions un risque dès maintenant? Et si nous prenions les devants pour une fois? Et si je décidais d'être courageuse et d'affronter ma peur? Peut-être cela ferait-il changer le cours de cette guerre. - Tu as raison, on ne prendra pas de tels risques.
