World without you

CT8

BANG CRASH, "Caleb", I scream as the smouldering flames surround him and try to eat him alive. I watch the flames burn and stand there in shock as I wait for him to stand up or at least make some noise, but there's no movement, no sound.
Now you may be wondering how this all happened well let me take u back 100 years from now.

My names Scarlett. I have long brown hair, and dark brown eyes, I have a small nose and lots of freckles. I was born in Brisbane, well that's what I think anyway. The only thing about me is that I'm different from everyone else, I'm different because I can live forever. I have no idea why or how I can I was born with this ability. The first time I was born I could speak and I could walk I had the ability to do things that regular babies could not do, I could remember things that happened that haven't even happened yet and I can remember things that happened before I died I can remember both my past and my future every single time I'm reborn. The only thing is I don't know who my family is, I don't know my friends and I don't know who I can trust.

Whenever I die I come back alive in the same place, in a small cottage house that over looked the city. I remember how the war began, I remember why not many humans live, and I remember how CT8 took over the world and made it his life mission to kill me, I do remember.

The small cottage home I lived in 100 years ago when I was first born was right next to a nice young family called the "Walters". They where a wonderful family who everyone loved. I never really knew the parents I never even got to meet the family, I would sit at my window everyday and watch their little girl Mary May, grow up. On Mary Mays fifth birthday her dad brought her a massive present, the box was so big that her parents even had trouble opening it. Why the box was big, well I had no idea, for I was only the same age as Mary and I didn't know what was in that box, but what was, was only small and yet to grow into an amazing creature. The parents slowly opened the box and out came a little robot, his name CT8. Marys dad had been working on the robot for so many years even before Mary was born. The robot had grown up with Mary since that day he became her best friend, he was designed to be able to develop the way humans can and was designed to grow and mature like any human boy would. He didn't look like a human he looked like a robot but he was always smiling and had been by Mary's side since her fifth birthday. He was the world to Mary and was practically family.

The day that Mary turned 18 she had beautiful long blonde hair and her eyes where the bluest I had ever seen them but that was a different story. That day I was turning 18 as well. I was sitting at the window that day and I watched the family give her the gifts and in that moment she looked so happy until the unexpected happened. Mary, her mum and her dad where having a family hug they all had their eyes closed and they all had the biggest smiles on their faces. I watched them looking all so happy and looking like a perfect family, but then in the corner of my eye I saw the unexpected. I could see CT8 grabbing a knife out of a kitchen draw and sneakily walking up to the family, I started screaming at them but they couldn't hear me and CT8 with the biggest smile on his face killed the family, he brought them to their death beds, the one thing they loved had ended their lives.

I stood there horrified as I looked out the window hopelessly not knowing what to do. Then I see CT8 look at me he looks at me with fire burning in his eyes and with the scariest look on his face, I then quickly duck down and hide . Not shortly after there was a knock at my door, I felt the sweat run down my face and I clenched my fist as I tried to think of a way to escape, the window was locked on this side and hadn't been opened for years. The only other window was on the other side of the house, I crawled on the floor as fast as I could trying to keep out of sight. I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and shoved it in my pocket. I continued to crawl along the floor getting to the window, I went to go reach for the latch, then suddenly heard the door open and I heard foot steps getting closer. I opened the window and climbed out then heard the foot steps chasing after me, I ran and ran as fast as I could I ran for the city in which was safe, but CT8 followed and could run much faster then me he had nearly caught up then I only had one choice, to jump into the river.
