The Binding of Isaac

Tears of the Whore

Eyy! I've been having a lot of fun with Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, and there seems to be a lack of fanfics for it, so... Why not add to it?

NOTE: The characters aren't really kids, they're around the age of 13-14. Also, bald characters like Isaac and Judas aren't bald, they've just got really short hair/buzz-cuts essentially.

Please Read, Review, and ENJOY!

Prologue

The Four Siblings

Isaac and his Mother lived alone, in a small house on a hill. Isaac kept to himself, doing homework and playing video games, as his mom watched Christian broadcasts on the television.

Life was simple... And they were both happy.

That was until the day that Isaac's Mother returned from a seemingly long shopping trip. As the door opened, Isaac peered out of his room, and noticed three figures following his Mother into the house. Thinking that they were guests, likely from church, Isaac quickly made an effort to hide his video games and tidy up.

"Isaac!" His Mother's distinct, resonating voice made him jump. Isaac quickly made his way out into the living room.

It was then that he realized something was amiss. His large smile he had put on suddenly faded as he found three pairs of eyes upon him, at the same eye-level as he. They were kids, like himself, foreign territory for the fairly sheltered Isaac.

"These are your new brothers and sister," his Mother began. Isaac was elated by this fact, and couldn't stop himself from beaming. "This is Samson," she continued, motioning towards them in order, starting with a boy with fairly-long brown hair and a red headband. "Lazarus." A boy with a neat head of light-brown hair and a nervous expression. "And Eve." A girl with black hair and what appeared to be mascara, with a hair-clip in the shape of a raven.

"P-Pleased to meet you," Isaac said with a small, nervous smile.

Eve looked away with disinterest, while Lazarus looked downward and kicked at the ground anxiously. This was concerning to Isaac, who didn't know what to do with the awkward tension.

Luckily, Samson stepped forth and extended a hand to Isaac, giving a warm, welcome smile.

"Hi," he said simply. The most basic thing that one could say- But it was enough.

Isaac smiled and shook the hand. "Hi, I'm Isaac," he returned.

With the tension broken, Lazarus now stepped up. "...Hi," he stated. Samson put an arm around Lazarus, which made him smile a bit, and got him to look up at Isaac. "Nice to m-meet you."

Eve rolled her eyes at the scene and turned away, looking around at the cracked and ruined walls of the house around them, not finding appeal in anything that she could see.

"Eve," Mother stated, putting a hand on her back and pushing her towards the others, "Go ahead, be social."

The three boys turned to Eve, staring at her. She became flustered under their gaze and looked to the side. "...Hey."

Isaac was a bit confused, but Samson patted his shoulder. "She's always like this, don't take it hard."

"Now you will be sharing your room with them, Isaac," their Mother said. "I want you all to get along nicely, okay?"

Isaac, Samson, and Lazarus exchanged a glance, and smiled, stating in unison, "Yes, Mother," while Eve simply nodded.

That night, the four had settled into their room. While Isaac felt bad about taking the bed, offering it to anyone who wanted it, they declined. Samson took it upon himself to take the rug in the center of the room, while Lazarus slept on a blanket, too shy to insist.

Eve, on the other hand, was huddled in the corner, with no blanket or pillow. In the midst of the night, Isaac gazed over at her figure in the darkness, questioning if she was okay or not.

Eventually, Isaac decided to take his blanket to her, carefully stepping along the creeky wooden floor, trying not to trip over the sleeping figures of Samson and Lazarus. As Isaac grew near, he waited til the sound of Eve's gentle breathing could be heard before placing it onto her.

Content with his actions, Isaac smiled and turned away... But a noise made him stop in his tracks.

It was a low, growling noise from Eve. He turned to her, confused, watching her shadow in the corner for a few moments...

And what he saw horrified him.

From atop Eve's head, two objects could be seen growing up into a weird shape. They were horns. Isaac gasped at this, and, at the sound of this, Eve's eyes opened-

They were glowing blood-red.

When the morning came, it was time for breakfast... But Isaac still couldn't budge from his bed, pretending to sleep even as Eve tossed the blanket back onto him.

What did he see? Was it all a nightmare? When the blanket fell upon him, he shivered even more, realizing that, in fact-

It was all reality.
