I jump into the river and shiver as it feels like something bites me, because of how cold the water is. CT8 is a very advanced robot and can unfortunately swim. He jumps in after me and starts swimming, well I didn't swim away, that wasn't my plan, my true plan was to drown myself. If I drown myself then I will disappear and CT8 won't know what happened to me and wouldn't have a clue where I am so drowning myself was the only option. I slowly let my breath out and slowly let myself sink, I felt myself become out of breath as I lay on the bottom of the river i felt drowsy and slowly closed my eyes.

This was the first time I had died it was the first time I had actually died and when I opened my eyes I wasn't a baby I was still my 18 year old self. I got up and looked in the mirror and wondered why I hadn't gone back to a baby I wondered what had happened, I didn't know, I was confused and CT8 could be anywhere and he could recognise me. I all of a sudden hear police sirens outside, "oh no their looking for me", I thought to myself as I felt panic rush through me. I looked outside the window and saw them placing police tape around the Walters house, instantly then I knew they where investigating the murder of the family, I knew they would want to question me and I'd be the first person they'd suspect so I had to run, I had to get away, I had to escape. I grabbed my pink Nike backpack and put a change of clothes and food I put my phone in my pocket closed the bag and quietly opened my safe which had my saved money inside, and a gold necklace. I then but the bag on my back and head for the window, I slowly move along the floor and realise that CT8 had left a trail of blood running across the floor boards. I be careful not to step in the blood and I grab a pair of gloves to hide my finger prints, I slowly sneak out the window and I head for the bush land behind the cottage, I run and run and then headed for the highway, I knew if I had followed the highway it would've led me to the centre of the city, in which I could find an old building to live in.

I slowly walk along the highway still feeling dazed and confused, still thinking about the look on CT8's face as he killed the family, the way he looked at me afterwards, deep down there was something inside, a fire maybe it was something, I could see pain in his eyes and he had anger, but for what reason I did not know. BEEP BEEP, WOOSH, a car notifies me to get out the way as another rushes past, I was standing in the middle of the road, I had gotten to lost in my thoughts and had forgotten that I was on the side of a highway. I look into the car and see a nice looking old lady I walk up to the car window and say sorry and the lady asks me for a lift, I hop in the car as it jolts forward and I slowly drift off to sleep.

"You know what I want Scarlett", CT8 yells at me with anger. "No I don't please let me go", I whimper. "Scarlett" , someone calls my name I turn, it's a guy he had dark brown hair, dark chocolate eyes, and olive skin. "Scarlett it's ok I'll help you", the guy says as he slowly walk towards me. "DON'T MOVE", CT8 yells at the guy, he pauses for a second but keeps on moving forward. CT8 points a gun at the guy, he looks at me and out of no where a gun falls from the sky into his hand, he points it at me. "You kill me and I kill her, if she's dead u won't get what u need", he says in a stern voice.

"Oh", I gasp as I open my eyes and feel the car stop. I turn my head to see the old lady looking at me, "you where asleep for s couple of hours, you must be tired", she said. I yawned and looked at her "nah I'm fine",I say even though I was lying. "Where u heading", she asks. "Well I'm not exactly sure", I say truthfully. She looks at me with a small smile and says "do you want to stay at mine tonight", I look at her and smile "thanks for the offer but I'll be ok", I smile at her one last time and get out the car. I pretend like I know where I'm going but in fact I don't. I look up at the sky and the sun is slowly going down. I walk around the city trying to look for an old building I could some how get into, i finally find a building that was easy enough to brake into. I throw a brick through the window closest, I smash the rest of the glass and hop inside the building. The building looked like an old church and was dusty and had many cobwebs inside, it looked like no one had been in there for many years, I found a set of stairs and followed the stair case, it led me to a room with wooden floor boards and a old cupboard. I look around the room, it's only small and has a window on the other side, I walk over to the window and look out, the view was amazing, you could see the sunset behind the buildings and you could see the whole city from hear. I step back as I feel dizzy, and I slowly sit down. I grab a jacket from my bag and grab an apple as I sit there and check the time it's 5:30, I look around the room and smile the cupboard looked interesting so I decided to get up and see what's inside. I casually walk up to the cupboard and slowly open the doors, inside was some old pillows and some dusty blankets all neatly folded up. I pull them out and dust them off, making myself a bed sort of thing that I could sleep on. In the corner of the room I could see a chair it was old and wooden and I highly doubt it was stable, but I pulled the chair next to the window and carefully sat on it, it didn't break so just in case I jumped up and down on it, but nothing happened. I sat on the chair at the window and I watched the sun go down. I was so tired and decided to go to sleep. I lay down in my some what of a bed and feel myself slowly go.

"It's ok I'll protect you from him", the guy with the brown hair and chocolate eyes says as I lay on the ground. He slowly picks me up and I stand there looking into his eyes. "What's your name", I ask. "Caleb" ,he says calmingly. I stumble back "I can't trust you", I scream.

~dream ends~

I wake up, and look around, I look out the window and see the sun is rising. "What do these dreams mean?", I think to myself.
