(1st) Hearts Combine or Break (Pat x Jen)

Ch- 29 Mother Knows Best (part 2)

Pat POV

I'm running, I don't know what I'm running from, but I'm running. Everything is falling apart around me. The buildings are collapsing and rocks go flying as I hear the chaos and people screaming. Where is Mom? where is Dad? Did I leave Bill for dead, or is he fine? I start to cry, but I keep running. Where am I even going. I keep on hearing one word, Necrosis. Along with others words like, help me, scared, stone, and killed.

I trip over the rubble a twist my ankle causing it to sprain. I cry out in pain and topple over. I look around. "Help!" I cry out. Everyone is to busy running from something to notice. Someone scoops me up. It my mom! I hug her.

"Mom, I'm so scared. Where is Dad?" She looks at me, tears on her eyes.

"Dad is coming Sweetie. He, has to take care of something."

I hear an explosion and I turn in it's direction. Rocks start to fall on us. Mom runs, a lot faster than I can, to a building. Once she enters, she looks around for something urgently. She sets me down for a moment, and keeps on looking. There's another explosion, and the building starts to shake. I look up and see cracks forming on the roof. I try to move out of the way, but my sprained ankle is preventing me from moving.

Mom rushes to me and pushes me out of the way. She tries to move away too,  but it's to late. I watch as the ceiling collapses on top of my mother.

"NO!"

"NO!" I wake up screaming. I pant, my eyes filled with tears and I groan. Sometimes, I have dreams of memories, forcing me to relive them.

I look around. Where am I. I see I'm in some sort of cell. I have my armor back on. Okay, this is different. How did I get here? Oh, right.

"!! I see your awake!!" A familiar robotic voice says.

I turn around and see Kerris, hovering outside of the iron bars. Kerris is still glowing red and still has four arms. For once, I say nothing.

"?? What's wrong Pat?" Kerris asks like nothing is wrong. I glance around the room in response.

".. Ahhh, that. Well it's obvious you aren't going to comply, so we will just have to wait until Necrosis comes here." It seams Kerris has gone haywire.

"If you think I'm just going to sit here, your wrong." I snap. I immediately focused on trying to teleport out of here, but nothing happens. What?

"?? What, do you think I was just going to put you in a cage and call it done? No no no. You see, these are Shadow Knight prisons, which means they prevent the use of any Shadow Knight powers. Pretty useful, don't you think?" Kerris says way too smugly.

Okay then, now what. I look around for a weak spot on the bars. I see one corner looks weaker then the rest, actually, the whole thing is rusted and weak with age. Kerris however, is keeping a close eye on me. What do I do now? Maybe if I get Kerris angry....

"Kerris?"

"..Yes Pat."

"Just wondering, how did you come to the conclusion that your my mother?" I say, looking at Kerris straight in the eye. "After all, your a robot, something that isn't even really alive. I'm a living breathing creature, with a heart and soul. How could you even come close to thinking your my mom?" I snap coldly.

Kerris glows even more red in anger.

"!! You need to learn your place!" Kerris yells in pure rage. It rams into the cell bars, rocking them loose.

Before Kerris can react, I kick the bars into Kerris, sending it rocketing backwards into the wall. I step out of the cell and the effects of the cell that prevents my magic wear off almost immediately. I summon my swords as Kerris gets up.

"Don't do this Pat. You don't understand." Kerris says with a voice just like my mother's.

Tears fill my eyes. "Shut up!" I snap in anger. I rush twards Kerris and point one of my swords at her.

Surprisingly, Kerris doesn't fight back, she doesn't even move to block. It's glow going back to it's normal blue color.

"Please, Pat listen to me." Kerris begs. That stupid voice.

"I SAID SHUT UP!" In rage I immediately slash with my sword, cutting Kerris clean in half. Sparks fly and Kerris starts to shut down. A small chip flies through the air and I catch it. It's Kerris' memory chip. In anger I almost crush it in my palm, but then I notice something strange.

A small, blue soul fragment is hovering over Kerris. What, but robots don't have souls. It's seems to speak.

"Protect and prepare Pat, no matter what."

I gasp. Those are, some of my mom's last words. W-What?

I rush forward and grab the soul fragment. It starts to talk to me.

"Take me and the memory chip to The Archives. Everything will make sense in due time, Pat. I promise."

I stand up and start to run. I don't know why I'm running, but it will all make sense soon. I start to cry.

"I love you Patrick."

No! I'm totally not crying right now because I know where this is going. I totally don't hate myself for making it this sad. Well, *sigh* hope next chapter will make sense to you guys. Oh, and in case you didn't know, Pat in real life has a brother named Bill.
