Now, on to the story!

Eleanor Lamb was running for her life. Scratch that, her and about 10 other lives as well as her mother. Both her father and herself had gotten on the elevator, after making sure that the little sisters were safe in the pressurized cargo bay of Sinclair's escape pod. The elevator finally reached the ground level, and she took off, hearing her father's heavier steps not far behind. As she rounded the corner, the door waiting for them, Eleanor saw a sight that made her stop dead. Two huge bombs had been put on either side of the door, her mother's absolute last-ditch effort to stop Delta from escaping Rapture.

The timers were at 1.23 seconds until detonation. Eleanor spun around quickly, trying to warn her father to stay away, but it was too late. He had already rounded the corner, and saw the bombs as well. With one final look at her knight in shining armor, Eleanor forced herself to go Houdini, and safely teleported into the main compartment of the pod. Exactly half a second later, Eleanor heard a huge explosion, and felt the dread of losing Delta again.

Unfortunately for Sophia, the blast had been over kill. The rupture wave had caused a huge crack to form in the ceiling, and the pod was rapidly filling with cold seawater. Eleanor had a dilemma on her hands. Being in her Big Sister suit, she could survive the water as easily as Delta. Her mother, on the other hand, had no way of keeping herself alive. Already Sophia was struggling to keep her head above the rapidly rising water line. Noticing a box with a big O2 on it, Eleanor swam over and opened it.

Inside was a respirator, with enough oxygen in it to get her mother to the surface. For a moment Eleanor was tempted to show her mother the bottle, and then watch her face contort in terror as she crushed it. After all Sophia Lamb had put both herself and Delta through, she deserved much worse than death by drowning. But then Eleanor remembered all the times Delta could have taken revenge, but decided not to. Grace, Stanley, and Gil. All three had made Delta's life hell, but he had simply let them go. All the little sisters too. It would have made sense for him to harvest them, but instead, he did what Tenenbaum would have done. He freed them from their suffering, and had grown to the respect level of the first savior of Rapture, all those years ago.

As Eleanor started to swim up to save Sophia, she thought she saw a light outside the window. Writing it off as a building, she grabbed her mother's writhing body, and thrust the bottle of oxygen over her mouth and nose. Almost immediately, Sophia calmed down, and Eleanor turned back to the window. The light was still there. She swam over to the window, and saw the view port of her father. Inside her helmet, Eleanor cheered. Even after taking a bomb point blank, Delta still managed to hold on to the pod. But the connection between them was weak, and was quickly growing fainter. Putting her hand against the window, she looked at him, the face of a true hero, then at the rapidly approaching surface. 'We did it father,' Eleanor thought. 'We're free.'

So, there is the prologue. Even though I wrote it to the good ending so far, I might write a different ending for the surface. Part of the plot I know. The other depends on what sort of a person I decide for Eleanor to be. A few reviews might help decide…mabey.

Regardless, please review!
