Discovering Hidden Truths

°•Part 2•°

"V, calm yourself," the first one snapped at her and V looked at her. "Awh J~ come on!" She whined. Uzi took this moment to sprint, which sparked a chase.

Uzi ran for the exit of the spire, V was right behind her giggling loudly.  J and N where close behind the bobbed haired disassembler, whether it was to stop her or to help her, Uzi didn't want to find out. She kept running but the sound of metal on metal followed by the sound of rushing air made the six year old mentally freak. "Oh little worker!~" V called out as she landed in front of the purple haired drone. N and J landed on either side of her getting rid of her exits.

Uzi knew she had to run, but where would she hide if she could get out? N looked at the female drones of his group, obviously unsure of his actions. V was smiling widely, and J looked ready to pounce, though she also looked hesitant. Uzi looked around her slowly forming a plan to escape, because N looked to be unsure and probably wouldn't attack if she ran by that's what she did. Uzi saw a chance and ran under Ns arm, the drone was taken by surprise as he turned around but didn't attack.

Uzi ran and ducked into an alleyway to hide from the disassemblers. J, N, and V all ran after her but stopped to the entrance of the alley, as the footprints from the drone had disappeared. Uzi was hidden on the far side of a dumpster, a damp yet solid cardboard box preventing her from being seen from the side. "J, go that way, N that way, and I'll go this way," a voice commanded, probably the bobbed haired drone. A sound of metal on metal was heard for the sound of rushing air, one of the drones had taken off into the air.

"Why do we have to do this part?" A male voice whined, probably N. "Not sure," another female voice said, probably J. J walked down the alleyway the snow crunching under her peg like feet. N had went the other way looking around in the forest nearby and the snowy landscape. Uzi covered her mouth as she shook, hoping the drone wouldn't find her in her hiding spot. J's footsteps stopped suddenly and Uzi's breath caught in her throat. J grabbed the box and went to pull it back Uzi freaking out.

J looked into the box, a X across her visor and her mouth pulled back in a sharp toothed grin. "Hello~" she said and Uzi scrambled to have her back against the wall. The six-year-old looked up at J tears running down her visor. The tears on the young girls visor pulled at her heart strings and she knelt down in front of the small girl, the X being replaced by her eyes. "Hey, you okay kid?" She asked and Uzi looked at her shocked. She nodded slowly tears still in the corners of her eyes.

J nodded and stood. "Head back to the bunker kid, it's not safe for a worker drone out here," she said and Uzi nodded, though she seemed hesitant to move. "Well? Go on, get!" J snapped, not out of anger or anything she just wanted the kid safe and away from the others. "Are.. are the others like you?.." Uzi asked, her voice was quiet and higher pitched. J took a deep breath, "No, no they aren't, Maybe but not V," she explained and Uzi nodded, getting up. "Thank you miss.." Uzi said her hands on her backpack straps, holding them tightly.

The disassembly drone nodded, "Now go," she said and uzi ran off, down the alleyway and towards the bunker. She learned something knew about the 'metal angels' that take over outside the bunker. Uzi scanned the master key and was found face to face with her pissed off father. "Uzi doorman." He said, his tone was cold and harsh. She knee she wss in for it now. Khan grabbed Uzi's wrist and dragged her back to their house rooms, closing the three doors as the went.

Khan threw Uzi into her room and walked up to her. Uzi backed away, scared. "What where you thinking!?" He yelled at the young girl. "I-I was curious.." she said and Khan slapped her. "Your curiosity could have gotten you killed! I can't lose another person!" He yelled. Uzi held her face, tears streaming from her digital eyes. "I-I'm sorry dad.. I'll do b-better next time.." she said her voice weak. "you better." He snapped then left the room.

Uzi backed up under he desk and sobbed. Why didn't he let her out of the bunker? What was so bad about the metal angels? They seemed so kind! She would never understand the process her colony went through for unneeded protection, well for the most part unneeded. Once Uzi's tears settled she climbed into her bed, and fell asleep. Over the next week her father was strangely mean and neglectful to the six-year-old girl. Uzi toon this the wrong way and it hurt her.

Durring the same week Uzi had lost the little amount friends she had because she ran away and was possibly being a 'bad influence to others', at least that's what people would say. Uzi was a smart kid, and often got high grades in class but she quit trying. Her grades suffered making her father even more angry at her. Uzi grew hatred towards her father because the elder drone didn't see her mental state start to crumble at his words and actions, along with what was going on at school.

On Uzi's twelfth birthday she packed a bag for the day and left the bunker with the master key once again.
