It's strange to think there was once a past where humans didn't have androids, they are everywhere now.
Humanity is far more advanced than what you and I think: androids have human faces but aren't alive they are simple machines.
Right?

<I blinked awake as the car stopped a bit harshly.
<I looked out the window seeing we had arrived at the city; it was as run down as in the images I had seen of it.
<it was not the best but still.
"girls, hey wake up"<I shook Julie and Hanna awake. "we are here, time to get out"
<I detached my seat belt and then Opal's belt and got out of the car, walking around it and opening the door and pulled her out before passing her over my shoulders, it would be much easier to carry her this way.

<I put my hand against the car and it buzzed, slowly rolling away when everyone was out of it, going back to where it came from so even the car couldn't be tracked down.
"let's go, we need to find a hotel or something to hide in until night fall"
<I walked off, knowing they would follow.
<finding a motel was not as hard as I thought since it was the only building in a decent shape, I quickly did all the needed stuff and left the girls in the room with Opal, I'm worried since no one is there to keep them safe since Opal is out.... let's just pray nothing will happen and that Hanna still has the gun I gave her.
<first of all I had rubbed dirt over the lighter coloured patch of skin on my face, I couldn't afford having people guessing I'm an android just yet and I need to buy a few things.
<I made my way to a supply store.
"welcome" <I really rusty but still working robot greeted me. "how may I come to help you miss?"
"I'm searching for a basic toolbox and a head piece for a specific model of androids"
"the android parts are in section 12 and the tools are in 5"
"thanks"
"anything to help the customer"<I watched him walk back to his sleeping fat owner.
<scan shop <section 12 found <section 5 found
<I walked over to 12 and stared down the line.
<scan for matching model launched >match found
<I walked over, I was right in thinking Opal couldn't be a one of model like I was, I knew she must have been a standard model even if modified to meet demands of the buyer, even if there were a few parts matching me it is because there was trial and errors in creating my body but there was no actual other version of me on the market today.
<I put it under my arm and went to 5.
<I took the few tools I would need and went to pay.
<I quickly went through that bothersome stuff and hurried back to the others, dodging the shady and dirty men and women in the narrow streets and hallways until the room.
"I'm back"<I opened the room with the key I took with me.
"hey"<Hanna said.
"okay so.... we got to wait until night fall for this, after I turn Opal on we'll have only a few minutes to work with and she might not be really overjoyed I did this to her, the police will be able to track us down so when we are done with that we need to instantly leave got it?"
"yup"<Julie mock saluted me as Hanna simply nodded at me.
<I sat most of the day looking out the window, staring at the sun as I waited for it to set, our peaceful life just around the corner with another storm approaching.... god I hate this time of the year.
"hey Y/N"<I looked over my shoulder at Hanna.
"yes?"
"it has been some time since you haven't refuelled, it worries me"
no need for that"<I chuckled and messed up her hair with my hand. "when that asshole of a father of yours kept me in the building with that super computer he did actually repair me so I also was refuelled"
"I just don't want you to die and leave me because of such little thing"
<I pulled her on my lap and hugged her from behind, laying my chin on her shoulder.
"I won't leave you unless it's for your survival and you know it"
"yeah...."
"come on, it's time"
<I let her stand up before doing so myself, readying myself mentally and physically for the hate.
<I saw Julie carefully turning Opal back on and backing away with Hanna.
<she sat up with a horrified face that shifted to anger and hatred fast before she was up and punched me in the face.
<I stumbled a little and gripped on the small table in the room, knowing stuff over and off it when another landed on the other side of my face making me fall to the ground with a pissed Opal over me. I put my hand out to stop Hanna or Julie from doing anything.
"you asshole!!!"<right hook. "do you know how it feels?!?!"<left hook. "do you know?!?!"<right hook. "it's like nothing!!!" <left hook. "like everything is gone forever!!!"<right hook. "I was scared!!!"<left hook. "how dare you do this to me!??!"<right hook. "how dare you?!?!"<left ho-- where's the left hook.
<her hand was shaking and she looked like she could be crying if it was possible for her model, her hand fell to her side.
"h-how could you?"<she whispered as I pulled out from underneath her to sit on my knees and hugged her.
"i-it terrifying, I-I--" "ssh it's okay, I'm really sorry but you got to understand, I choose the safety of the girls over you"
"so I don't matter to you at all?!"
"ssh that's not what I mean, no need to get angry ssh ssh ssh.... you matter, you are a friend of mine but it was that or all of us died"<she stayed silent. "I need you to trust me and let me remove that LED, I promise nothing of this will ever happen again alright? if I don't do it then humans might do worst"
<she shoved me away.
"I don't want you to touch me!"
"then will you let the girls do it? please Opal"
"..... fine but you stay away from me!"
<Hanna ended up doing what I was telling her to do since she was the one with more knowledge of androids, she did repair me after all when I was broken back then.... I wonder why shutting off never bothered me even when I was barely starting to deviate.... it's a matter for another day.
<I was wiping my purple blood covering my face, in was coming from my nose so it was from the very first hit she landed on me that this happened...... it should soon be fixed with the internal repair stuff anyway.... I just knew fighting back would only anger her and not let her take her anger out and calm down.... I truly am sorry for doing this to her but survival is key.
<when Hanna was done with Opal and me with my pained face, we picked up our stuff, ready to leave.... we are almost there.... almost completely free.... I wonder if I'll see Megan or Colin ever again, now that we are getting so close my thoughts are racing, what if we will be the only ones who made it? what if there are no boats? what if-- no stop, think positively Y/N, you got this.... you will be free soon....
