Pleaser To Meet You

Chapter 12

Date is September 20, 4052
    I heard the doors open and close. The suspense and fear roze like water inside me wanting to make me drown. My breathing started to quicken. I could hear faint talking outside like whispers. It almost mixed into the wind like fine wine. Suddenly the door opened and I jumped, leaning to the right. I felt a hand grab my arm and drag me out. I stumbled a little not knowing where the ground was. Wherever I was there was a huge light because the sack around my head did not filter out much light. The hand on my arm tightened and pulled me closer to them. They were cold like ice. I took a deep breath and squeezed my hands into fists.
    The sound of heavy boots appeared and were getting louder. They got pretty close and the thing holding me pushed me away from them a little bit. Almost like a sacrifice. I kept my head low and my stance wide. A voice pierced through the silence.
    "Here is your package"
One of the others scoffed and walked closer.
    "It's not the one I wanted"
I felt the hand on my arm twitch. Then they said back.
    "How would you know? You haven't even seen their face yet"
They growled like a monster and they pulled me back a little. I wanted to curl up in a ball to hide from this terror but I could not. The person in front of me was hotter than a fire. Their heat bouncing off me in waves. It almost felt like they were a walking fire. Hopefully they were not but I am kind of blind here. The man in front of me scoffed and said lowly.
    "You wasted my time, you know what I do to people who do that"
The man holding me gripped harder and dug their nails into my arm. Said softly.
    "Are you sure this is not the right one"
The one in front of me bursted out in a winded yell.
    "Are you insulting my intelligence, low life!"
In a panic they shot back.
    "No-n it was not like that at all I- just give me another chance. Maybe even see if this is the right one"
I heard a few stomps towards me and then aggressively the bag was ripped off my head. I squeezed my eyes shut because the light was incredibly light. I slowly tried to open my eyes. For a second I saw the man in front of me. Their face is down to my level. Their eyes are bright green like snakes. I closed them again and turned my head away. Their hand gripped my jaw, their hands big enough to wrap up and the tips of his fingers reaching about to my temple. They forced me to look into their eyes. My eyes were not adjusted to the stupid light in my eyes. Their hands felt like they were burning me and I wanted to pull away but know that wont work for me. I just kind of stood there, they just stared into my eyes for a while. They then looked to me left and their jaw clenched. I watched every muscle dance on their jaw like it was a performed ritual. Their face hardened and they took a deep breath as they looked at them. They slowly stood up to now being a bit taller than me. Their silhouette was all I could see now.
    They turned around and threw up their hands. Their left hand this time and I could see their hand was indeed some type of metal because of the shine it had and the sharp tips. I heard the man holding me growl and I winced. I looked over slowly and got a good look at their face. It was definitely not real. It smooth like plastic and his eyes white like snow. He had a fracture on his right temple that was facing me. Something that not many people knew how to fix anymore. This is because robots or cyborgs were outlawed back a few years ago for their outbreak for injustice. That was a major battle in our history because us humans made these creations and then left them out to rot like trash. A lot of them had a developing mind of their own like humans. They could learn and develop things like emotions and feelings, some could think and others were just working bots.
    They quickly looked over at me and I jumped, then looked away quickly. They stared at me for a second so I looked back. Their eye brows were scrunched and their eyes were squinted like they were scanning me. I looked into their colorless eyes and tilted my head to the right. Wondering what their plan was. They slowly blinked at me and then looked behind me. Then they looked over to the right and I guessed towards the car. I did not look away. They then looked down at me again. They looked at both of my eyes then pulled me as we walked to the car. It was still running and they threw me back in the back seat. Then they slammed the door. I winced knowing this can go one or two ways. Either I was going to die now or they were going to make me give them information. Both were something I did not want to do. Yet I had to think quickly. It was not like I had time to think in general. Everything was happening so fast. So many things to figure out and understand. Why are they doing this, Who do they want, as well as why.
    I guess Jane was right, I should never of brang that kid into my life. That was one of the worst things I could have ever done. Look where I am now. About to die alone from robots. All because of her.
