Peyton's towns.

Boom

"Peasant,wake up" a deep voice bellowed.I knew instantly it was the midget,kai. I rolled off the bed and unlocked the door.I ,straight away, hopped back into bed. "Peyton,i know you are there"
"It's open" I replied
"You slept well, was that your first time sleeping because you have massive bags under your eyes?" He chuckled.
"Hello kai,what a pleasant wake up call,so,what do you want?" I asked
"Well,it's time for breakfast, unlike your old home,we have a routine" He explained smugly. "Well,i best get dressed then,i'll be there in a minute,i have a director robot"
"Figures,you are definitely too dumb to learn the way around this simple place"
"Arrogant little-"
"What did you say?"
"Figures,you are definitely too dumb to learn what arrogant means"I replied.He slammed the door in my face and i put on my old,orange vest and pulled the jumper over my head,chucked on the jogging bottoms and just as i was about to tie my plimsoll lace.... BOOM! I fell to the ground and my head smashed against the solid,wooden floor.It felt like my head was bursting,all I could see were sparks coming the ground.I looked to the right and saw that they were coming from leftie.My robot was going to burst.With all my might I gathered enough energy to move.I crawled into the corridor and saw Kai standing above me. "Peyton is injured!Peyton is injured!" I heard him shout "Peyton's robot exploded! Peyton's robot exploded!Help!Help!"He continued.I felt hands lifting me up and placing me on a soft surface. I was awake the whole time, I just refused to open my eyes,but when I did,I saw a horrifying sight. Kai.He was holding a knife, and staring over me with a clown like grin.He was going to kill me ,I realised, I needed to escape. Immediately I rolled to the left,escaping the tip of the blade.I swung open the door to the unknown room and ran down the quiet corridors,as a rushed by i saw all types of people giving me incredibly dirty looks.One bald man even growled at me and a lady with glasses 'accidentally' spilt her soda over my neck and chin.I continued running, I was filled with adrenaline and as soon as the lift opened I leaped in and saw Kai in the mirror. He was so close to getting into the lift with me, but the doors closed just in time. The last thing i saw before relaxing with the calming lift music, was the intimidating and terrifying face of Kai. I noticed a strip of silver on the ground.It was the tip of the knife he held.I realised how close I was to death, and how I was still so endangered. I was frozen, staring at the strip of metal that was about to pierce into my skin.Then,all of a sudden the bell clicked.I looked up instantly. Kai. Wandering round in circles, I wasn't taking my eyes off this murdering psycho. It was as if we were in a wrestling match, walking in circles with our eyes locked. "Hello, ashy washy" he said slyly.
"Why are you trying to kill me?"I asked
"Because"he continued "you're smart.You're a threat. You know i never knew Tilly, and if you tell them,I'll be kicked out of my home" he said with a tear in his eye.
"That isn't a reason to kill. I'm leaving tomorrow, let me escape" my head was burning a lot now.
"Never! This will be the day of your death, it was I who burst the robot,it was i who hypnotised you to do what ever I said, but no, you escaped the explosion and instead done exactly what Debra told you,why? Things never go my way"he answered selfishly.Whilst he attempted giving me his boring life story, I made a run for it.He ran after me and I irrationally jumped out of the window but luckily, we were on the second floor, so it done minimum damage. I ran out into the heat, my nose now dripping with blood. I saw him making rude gestures at me from the entrance of the tower, he threw the knife at me but missed. I ran as far as i could, his veins popping out of his head were still in sight. I hid behind a tree, although i was very far out so they wouldn't see me anyway. I noticed that the jumper I was wearing had mirrors either side on the shoulder, Velcro attached, I looked at my ear and head with them, my head was fine now, but lefties hand was stuck in my shoulder. I counted "3.....2.....1, OUCH!" I pulled it out and blood drizzled down my top. I took off my jumper and top, using the top as a cloth, to stop the blood, then placing my jumper back on. It hurt badly. All of a sudden, I heard a noise, a bustle in the leaves. "Peyton! It's El, come out, we've dealt with
Kai" I heard. I hoped this wasn't a trick, but I immediate climbed up as far as I could up the tree and shouted "underneath the tall tree with brown leaves" I heard footsteps, below me I saw Eleanor, holding a cloth. "Come down, monkey" she joked.I slid carefully down the trunk and dropped to the floor in exhaustion and pain. "Let's get you sorted out, shall we?"
"Thanks, El" I said, referring to her as 'El' for the first time.
"You're in quite a state, a young,dark skinned girl in the hallway saw Kai with a knife chasing you, and reported him.I think you should thank her"
"I will, please help my shoulder" I begged.
She carried me over to the entrance of the tower, where she began shouting "Injury, injury,injury." Immediately a figure appeared in front of me, then a few others who started carrying me into a small room. The six medics started zapping things against my left shoulder, i felt a sharp pain in my shoulder and ,immediately,my eyes shut. As I regained my vision, I saw Carmella staring at me and in her strange accent she said "I knew he was mad. I knew he didn't like you," she continued "he's been teleported to an army testing field in the south." I was confused,if they can get people teleported, why don't they all go back home? I tried asking this, but I couldn't speak properly, my mouth was incredibly numb. Someone lifted me up, and placed me on a cold surface, I couldn't see their face, only a blurry, figure.I looked again at the figure and noticed it was Eleanor "Kid, your arm is wrecked" she said seriously.
"Yeah, but it doesn't hurt, just numb"
"Yeah, we sprayed you"
"Oh" I couldn't be bothered to even ask what that meant. "So," I continued "what is wrong with my arm"
"Well, it is barley clinging on to the rest of your body to be honest". She replied, this sent a chill through my body. "Wow," i said, astonished "I don't need an amputation though, right?" I asked nervously.
"Well, just be careful, one more injury to that arm and you will need an amputation."
"Ok, what do we do now?"
"Kid, it's bed time again for you, you need to rest, it's only lunch time for the rest of us, but we need to get you fed, then I'll carry you to your room in a stretcher."
"Ok, cool, so what's for lunch?"
"Whatever you want, I'm having a roast dinner"
"I'll have that too." I didn't know what that was but she liked it, so I decided to try it.
I waited in the plain room, with white walls, I then noticed it was the other side of the focus room. Two days and I'm already injured again, I thought to myself.After another three minutes Eleanor danced into the room, as if she were a high class chef, she spun the plates around and said "dinner is served" in a posh, well pronounced accent. The meal she placed in front of me looked delicious. It had all shapes and sizes of foods, all covered in some sort of sticky sauce, it tasted delicious too. As I stabbed each food, Eleanor would tell me what it was, and where it came from. My favourite was the potatoes, they had such a great taste, the crispy coat and then a fluffy inside, and it was so easy to eat, i just pop it into my mouth and taste the greatness. "Pey," she said whilst twisting her hands behind her back "Do you want a little bed time story, or are you a little too old for that?" She asked. I was glad she's asked, I hadn't had one since I was four, when my nan died. "Oh Eleanor, thank you! Please do, I would love that!" I said enthusiastically. "Once apon a time, an 18 year old was riding her motorbike through the woods to get to her boyfriends house, where she knew she would have to go through a beach. Anyway, she found that the beach was rather large, she then tried to check on a map in her phone. Although, as she pulled the phone off her belt, her bike started tumbling down a hill with her on it. She rises from the ground with three faces staring at her, Carmella, Holly and Jacob. Jacob was a greeting person before he took the place as a builder instead, that's when I took his place. Anyways, she was getting changed into spare clothes, and overheard people talking. One said 'Lock the doors, this one is smart, she could escape'
The other said 'Shhhh she's in that room".
They told the girl that they were talking about a guini pig that they were using to distract the babies that came here, when they had there injections. This wasn't true. After 14 years, the girl had finally developed a plan to escape. She'd tried just leaving but it didn't work. Then after another year, she met a very nice child, who she became very fond of. The point is," she whispered "they are all lying to us, and I want you to escape with me." I was astonished. "El, you can't expect me to take that much in right now, and you especially can't expect me to make such a big decision like that right now, when would we leave?"
"Sorry, but we still have three weeks. Just have it all decided in two weeks, so we can pack."
"I'll think about it, but I'm making no promises"
"Okay, fair enough"
"Goodnight"
"Night"
