TERMINATOR: Past Mistress [Completed]

8

     ***

I was five years old. I ran for my life froma terminator with a gun. As I ran, Dad's words echoed in my mind. "Keeprunning! And don't look back!"

Of course, with my stupidity as a youngkid, I looked back, and I was shot in the shoulder. I fell on the ground,crying in pain, and covering the wound. It was so painful.

"Daddy..." I cried.

I don't know why I called for him. I wastoo far. But for some reason, I saw Pops.

***

I woke up. Yes, theevents were mostly true. The onlything off was that Pops didn't save me- someone from my army did. I found myselfby a dock near a lake. I saw a young girl hiding under it, and a couple fightingoff terminators. I ran towards them to help, as I fired at the terminators. Ihad no idea who they were, but I was going to help them. After killing the lastterminator, the man checked under the dock, staring long at hard at it.

"Pops, what's wrong?" Thegirl asked.

"Pops?" I questioned.

Oh my gosh! He's so different! How did he get so young? I thought.

"Randi Connor? What areyou doing here?" He questioned, pulling the young girl out.

"The terminator sent mehere." I answered. "How come I'm not younger like you?"
"Because you're in the time whereyou don't exist, so you're the same age."

"Wait, so who are you?"The girl asked.

"I'm Randi Connor, fromthe future! What about you?"

"I'm Cathy-"

The female terminatorarrived, shooting the girl beside Pops. It killed her. Pops widened his eyes,staring at her dead corpse.

"Cathy!" He screamed. "No!"

I turned my back,shooting her. The young girl stood beside me, hugging my waist, since she wasso short. Pops charged at the female terminator, attacking her like a mad cat.Pops punched her in the jaw, later pulling her head off. But the head returnedto the body. The girl screamed.

"Pops, how are you gonnastop her?" I asked.

"I don't know. Just getout of here! And keep Sarah Connor safe!"

"Wait, the kid is Sarah?"I questioned, looking down at her.

"JUST GO!"

I nodded, carrying Sarahand running. It was weird to hold my grandma like a kid, and seeing her youngerthan me, but it was pretty awesome.
