"Ma'am-" I beckoned as he stood with a gun in hand.
"Ma'am-" the robotics within this fake body of mine began to snap as my voice shook, was I scared?
My systems scanned and went wild for that word.
''scared''
What was it?
"God dammit you a robot, move out of the way!" She shouted at me as I stood still. I knew nothing of human life but I knew it was far too easy to take.
"Please ma'am lower your weapon." She seemed shocked at my words as I felt the child behind me hold tight to my leg. "Please." She begged.
...
The silence was all too loud as she raised her gun to me.
''Fight Fight Fight Fight Fight Fight Fight Fight Fight''
My systems are wild till- I made a choice.
I grabbed her gun and easily ripped it from her hands though I didn't want to kill her. I slammed the handle on her head and she fell- she fell to the hard kitchen floor.
"Let's go." I dropped the gun and pulled the child along with me. She followed but hesitantly, she trusted me but- still I hurt someone she knew.
It seemed we traveled for days just barely surviving alone and I apologized every day for my actions past, present, and future.
I'd never been a father hell I'd never been human till I chose to pull that sensor from my chest and for once I felt human; yet still I felt unloved.
The little girl in my arms was all I had but still, I wanted more, I'd been made alongside the others yet I got respect and they didn't.
Chaos or peace?
Me and another discussed for hours on our choice of action. It'd been two years of living on the edge of life and death.
We knew the history, and we knew their pros and cons, but this was for our future.
We'd tried peace-
Now for chaos.
It didn't take long for the sky to turn red, screaming to commence, tears to fall, and androids and humans alike- to fight.
And I smiled at the destruction and laughed aloud as I walked through the hall of horrors holding our flag high above my head.
"We are equal now!"
