Drifter {school project}✔️

Found

The machine was at least 6 feet tall and it's biceps were twice the size of mine.

"You were brave to escape, now you must return."
It announces in a deep and non human tone. I could sense Alice's fear from over here and I saw it glance at her. I glare at the robot and it returns it's red gleaming eyes upon me.

"It was the best thing I have ever experienced."
I reply

"Well good for you."
It says sneakily and begins slowly walking towards me. I have no choice but to step backwards and soon I was against the wall. It swung its large fist at my head, but I dodge it quickly as it creates a large dent in the wall.
I kick him in the side of the leg and the machine rapidly falls to the ground, but he grabs my ankle.
I suddenly spie an electrical wire out of the corner of my eye, dancing dangerously. I grab it quickly, feeling the full bolt of power coursing through my body, my eyes grow wide and my mouth opens and screams in agony.
I thrust it into the machine's chest. I could feel a release of the power, but the damage had already been done. I could feel my body shutting down and all I wanted to do was talk to Alice: my best friend, one last time.

But I think of her face when she saw who I really was...She was terrified. Maybe they were right, maybe humans are not capable of thinking of us as caring and loving. Maybe the rumors are true.
My vision becomes blurry, my words slurred and suddenly I see her face looking down at me. She screamed my name over and over, but my senses were almost gone. I can't hear her and I don't want to lose her, I have never felt this way before.
I look into her eyes, she was scared and she didn't want to be alone.
For one last time, I hear Alice's voice: soft, but shakey. I wish I could tell her, to not be scared, to live her life to the fullest and to travel the world. Not as a drifter, but like a bird.

"Fly aw-way..."
I struggle to say and I witness a tear escape her eye.
As mine close, I take the mental video of memories we had shared and replay them, but soon, all went dark. The pain was gone and so was she.

The End

_____Author's Note_____
Thank u for reading this story and I would like to share, this story was originally a short story project for my English class. When my teacher was handing us back our scores, I walked up to her desk and asked her what she had thought of it. And she had told me
"I couldn't take any points away, it was so good I wasn't able to put it down!"
Then as I was walking away, she called me back and told me that she cried a little at the end. TBH I feel so accomplished, that is my overall goal for this story, please comment what you thought about this story and Star it, thank u so much guys ❤️
