Discovering Hidden Truths

°•Part 3•°

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

Uzi looked back and forth looking for drones of any kind before running towards the dead forest. There may not be leaves but it should act as a shelter for a good while. The snow was piled up high making running not an easy task, but she was already almost there. Once in the forest Uzi found it was easier to walk due to the less amount of snow piled up. She began looking for a cave along the mountain side. It was an easy task as there was many, but some where to small or to large.

Once Uzi found the one she needed she walked in a set up her sleeping bag and small fire. She sat on her sleeping bag, he backpack was pressed against the far wall. She didn't realize how lonely it could get to be alone like she was, she was used to the crowded halls of the bunker. Uzi missed her home, but she knew she could no longer go back. No one would welcome her anymore, not after what she has done. Uzi heard the sound of metal cutting through the air before a soft thud not to far away.

She quickly snuffed out her fire and remained sill and quiet, as she hid in the corner of the small cave she was in. Uzi heard the soft sound of a drones footsteps growing closer to the entrance of the cave. She covered her mouth as a female drone entered the cave, looking up at the smoke that drifted away from the snuffed out fire. "Hm.. still new.." she had said looking around the area. The drone was taller then Uzi was but she looked entirely different. The female drone had shoulder length silver hair and tail that waved around behind her with a vial filled with a glowing yellow and bubbling solution.

The drone also had a black headband with glowing yellow orbs on top of it. The headband sparked interest in Uzi, as she wondered where she could get one herself. The female drone kept walking, searching, for anything she could get her hands on. "Oh come out worker drone~" the drone called out, knowing a worker was there. Uzi stayed still, knowing if she moved she would be killed as the drone searching the cave was facing her now. The drones visor displayed an X rather then the normal oval eyes for drones.

That's how Uzi knew she was being hunted by a disassembly drone. The drone kept searching and found nothing so she left to search the forest around the area. Once the disassembly drone left Uzi let out a sigh of relief and sat down in the corner of her cave, trying to calm her racing nerves. Things like this went on for six years, Uzi would hide while a disassembly drone searched for her but they found nothing. It was officially Uzis eighteenth birthday and she was sitting in front of her fire warming up herself as she was just about to go look for a part of her rail gun.

Before she could leave she heard the familiar movement of the disassembly drone that would come by frequently due to the small of smoke. Uzi did her routinely thing and snuffed out her fire before hiding in the corner. She throught it was going to be the same drone as it was every day, the one with silver colored shoulder length hair. The time passed quickly but the drone had yet to enter the cave. Uzi was confused as the drone would have entered by now so she looked around.

She saw a different drone, this one was a female but she had mid-length silver hair with pig tails. She wore a suit-like dress outfit and she seemed to be waiting for Uzi to show herself. The drone had the same tail and headband at the other but something about her stance made her seem like she was more menacing and smart. Uzi grabbed her bag and ran, the drone following suit with a large smile across her face. "Come back here worker!" The drone yelled and Uzi jumped and slid under branches as she ran.

Uzi kept running, dodging things that were in her way as she went. The disassembly drone was right behind her for most of it. Uzi junked down a large hole, and tumbled before her back slammed up against the wall. The young drone rubbed her head as the disassembly drone crashed right in front of her. "Well lookie here," she purred looking down at the drone. Uzi looked back up at her with terror in her eyes. "Leave me alone.." she said scooting back closer to the wall, even though she couldn't.

The disassembly drone looked at her, a wave of sympathy running through her systems. The female sighed and knelt down to the shaking worker. "Hey, are you okay?" She asked and uzi looked at her with uncertainty and fear. "Your..your not going to kill me?.." she asked with a shaky voice. The disassembly drone sighed "No..I'm not going to kill you," she said offering a hand to the younger. "May names J, what's yours?" She asked as uzi took her hand and helped her up.

Uzi hesitated looking at her then away again. "Uzi.. my names uzi.." she said quietly and J grinned. "Nice name, now get home," J said and uzi shook her head, shifting slightly. "They..don't want me back.." she said sadly and J looked at her with sympathy. "Then you can come stay with us," the disassembly drone said with a warm smile. Uzi was hesitant but agreed and she was led to the spire by J..where she learned the secret she never thought was true.
