Something Forgotten

Chapter 3- Nearly Scrapped

The van stops and the person who was driving got out, going over to the back where I am. I pretend to power off and watch as the person opens the back, they grab me and pull until I fall to the ground.

"Do you need help ma'am?" A man, about six feet in height, asks looking at her. "Yes, I just wanted to see if this thing was worth anything." He walks away, and comes back with a dolly. They put me on it and start moving, we get to a garage that has lots of steel.

"I'll get Paul, he knows how much things cost by lookin' at them." He walks away, the woman looks at me. "Wonder how you got to the desert." She mutters looking away.
The man comes back with 'Paul', and he looks at me from head to toe. "Five dollars." He says plainly, looking at the lady.

"Wait what? How just five dollars?" The lady questions looking at me, then at them. "It has to be more." The two man look at each other and back at her. "Sorry, if you want to try another place then go ahead." She sighs and looks around, then back at them. "Fine, only because I need gas money right about now."

The tall man gives her five dollars and she snatches it, grumpling on her way to her van. The men take me to a room, and tip the thing I'm on over making me fall face first. "We'll take him to the scrap yard tomorrow." Paul says, they leave, shutting the door. Getying up I only had one thing in mind. I got to get out of here, if I don't I'll be scrap metal.

I try the door, it opens easily and I peek out, the place was filled with a few people walking around. I guess I'll have to wait until it's closing time, since I don't want to be caught trying to escape. Plus that would be a bit strange for someone to see me. I close the door and go to a corner of the tiny room. I sit down and power off, feeling that I might need a lot of energy later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up and listen for any sounds, nothing but the sound of crickets. I get up and open the door, I peek out, just incase someone's here. When I see no one I walk out, looking around, which way should I go? I pick the woods, since no one will see a animatronic walking with no controls or something.

I enter the dark woods, looking up at the tall trees around me, the sky dark and the sounds of critters around. I continue walking, stopping everytime I hear something, and walk again. After what seemed like hours, I got out of the woods, seeing I was now in a city.

The big buildings, streets, houses, lights were all I could see now. Since I still have a little time, I walk towards the city. I hide behind things, and walk in alleyways trying to avoid people, but when I enter one I couldn't get out.

I was trapped.
