Chapter 1 : The Roid

"She'll never be human again."

He caressed my face contours lightly, with his hot fingers sliding down my cold pale face.

I was never human, im just a fake human, who was not supposed to have feelings and a beating heart. I stared at him, his turquoise eyes sparkling with tears. I could talk, but they killed me, I do not know who, they cut off all my action programme, making it seem like im dead. I do not know what I am feeling. My mind and heart seem so empty, I wonder what is it. I changed my mind on being a robot when a little boy bought me, I will be human, when I was born.

He's standing right in front of me.

"When was she born... When was her birthday, her age when she became a roid..."

"She was born in a lab, she was never human, she's just a robot with a cold metal heart...""But she had a beating heart, warm skin and with feelings, when I saw her, why did you all had to cut her mains off? She was the first of her kind."

That's not true, my heart is already beating when I opened my eyes, my master was good to me, I am human. My heart feels warm.

"Human."

I felt my lips move a little, I closed my eyes, feeling the icy plates resting on my eyes. I can move, maybe only a little. I try triggering my fingers to raise them, I want to touch the turquoise eyed man, he looked what I perceived from a funeral, "sadness". He looked beautiful, although I learnt that women were supposed to be beautiful.

"Did you say something, Chase ?"

"No? Were you the one who said human ?"

Its me...It was me, Im human. Not a robot, im alive and beating arent I. My pinky cracked, its moving, it slowly moved up and followed by my ring finger.

"Impossible, unless that dead robot was the one who said it, but she's dead right ? I took out her mains. Was her eyes closed just now?"

Uncertainty was circling around his words.

"I would like to think that she is still alive, stop making suggestions so that I can invest, Dave."

"Why? Investing in this industry can make you the wealthiest human in this century. Since this roid made you a millionaire when you were just 20, I wish I was you who used all your savings to buy her."

"I fell in love with her at first sight, fool, still not understanding me. If you hasen't become an operator, she would still be alive... What's with that rule of only keeping a roid for fighting? Can't we... love? Them too ? Can't you let off this unrequited lover here, at least let her go into sleep... not plucking out her mains... I do not know how you all can be that cruel... The roids look so much like humans... Don't you all feel that you are killing humans too ? Damn, Im getting emotional... Can you leave her with me for a while, i need some time alone."

"Ok lover boy, giving you time is ok but for only a week, only a week. More than that and you go to jail."

Jail, a place where people broke the laws to live in, criminals they are called. Why would master be jailed for keeping a non-fighting roid ? I do not understand.

"A WEEK ? THAT IS TORTURE, YOU EXPECT ME TO GRIEF FOR ONLY A WEEK ? I LOVED HER FOR MY WHOLE LIFETIME AND YOU just ..."

"Chase. Calm down, CHILL BEFORE..."

"GET OUT. Sorry. Please."
