Trap: The Unknown

Chapter 10

The cold and empty atmosphere was long gone, replaced by joy and excitement. "So this is what happiness feels like" I thought. I looked at the robot who is staring at me, then it started looking around the room and began walking towards the window. I followed it and it started pointing outside.

"I've never been out there. I don't even know why, but I really want to. I just don't have enough courage to do so" I said. It stared at me and looked back again outside, pointing as if it wants to go out there. "Im sorry, I can't take you out there. I don't know why Im scared, but don't worry! We can do a lot of things here! You'll get used to it after" I tried the best I could to cheer it up.

I held its hand and we walked towards the chair and table and began reading. "Do you know this book? Its called Tangled and its really nice...". The robot looked at me, then the book. "Its about this girl who is stuck in her tower until one day, this guy came and took her out to the floating lights which happens every night on her birthday" I continued.

I asked the robot if it ever heard of night, then it nodded. "Do you think night exist somewhere out there? I've never seen night before" I asked. The robot nodded again, it held my hand and led me towards the window. It pointed at a certain direction, and it looked at me. Its like telling me something, like telling me to trust it and go out there. How would this little robot know whats out there? Maybe its just curious as I was, but has more courage than me. It desperately wants to go out there.

I must fight my weakness, overcome my fear and destroy all the obstacles thats blocking and stopping me. This robot gave me strength, courage, confidence and most of all, happiness. I won't lose it and I won't let it down, I don't want it to be sad and lonely.

Slowly, I reached for the window....
