The Robots Series I: The Earth's Core

Chapter 2: Danny's POV

I wake up with a cold feeling to my head. It kind of feels good. The second I open my eyes I see a woman in front of me. Following my instincts, I push her away from me.

That causes this other young man to come get her.

"What's wrong with you, kid?!" He shouts while helping the woman up.

I don't know what to do. I just want to be away from these crazy people. So I just start crawling back.

"Chill out, Sam." Another man says. He looks around the same age as Sam.

"Are you kidding, Alex?! Did you just see what he just did to Nichole?!"

"I'm fine, Sam." Nichole answers. "He pushed me, it's not like he stabbed me."

I just keep crawling back until I bump into this old man laying on the ground.

"Hey!" The old man says. "I'm trying to sleep!

Now is about the time I start freaking out, but Alex interrupts me.

"Well, now that you're finally awake we can explain who we are." He says trying to calm me down. "I'm Alex. The over reacting guy over here is Sam. His girlfriend you pushed is Nichole, and that sleeping guy is Bill."

"Where am I?" I ask right before remembering falling down that hole.

"The thing is, we don't know. We saw you get surrounded, and jump down. So we decided to help you by coming after you." Alex says while Sam gives him a cold stare. "Luckily we all landed on sponge. We still don't know why you knocked out. At first we thought you had a concussion."

"I wish you did." Sam interrupts.

"He's just a kid, Sam. Leave him alone." Nichole says obviously annoyed.

That's when the most beautiful girl walked in. She was wearing Jeans, and a blue sweater. I don't know how she could be so pretty.

"He's awake?" She asks anybody.

"There you are Brittany." Alex replies. "But, he just woke up."

No matter how hard I try to stop staring, I can't.

"What are you staring at, kid?" She tells me.

You know what? I take that all back.

"Kid?" I say angrily. "You're the kid."

"How old are you, ten?"

"Fourteen." I tell her. "You?"

"Thirteen"

"Hah."

"You little-" she starts when Alex interrupts her.

"Will you two stop?" We have to keep moving now that... The kid is awake"

"I have a name, you know." I tell Alex while still looking at Brittany with a satisfied face of winning.

"Butt wipe?" Brittany asks.

"Ha, ha. You know you have a real potty mouth for a thirteen year old." I reply.

"Both of you cut it out." Alex says. "What's your name?"

"Danny." I say finally stop staring at Brittany and getting up.

"Where are you going?" Alex asks me.

"Away from here" I reply to him still walking away.

"But-"

"Let him go." Sam says, interrupting Alex.

Alex just sits there when the old man, I mean, Bill walks right in front of me.

"Now where do you think you're going?" He asks me, still not moving.

I try not to cough by how bad his breathe smells. Wow, he's tall for an old man. And has a pretty long beard.

"This way, until you walked in front of me." I reply while looking up at him.

"I would stick with us if you want to get out of Earth's core."

"Earth's core?"

"That's where we're at. Or where we want to go to get out, I mean."

"You knew where we were this whole time, and you didn't tell us?!" Sam yells angrily, dropping Nichole.

"Sam!" Nichole says angrily.

"Sorry," Sam says while picking her back up.

"I didn't tell you because you didn't need to know. You trusted me to get you out of here unlike this one." Bill says to Sam while still blocking my path.

"I just met you!" I yell angrily.

"Doesn't give you an excuse to kill yourself by leaving."

'Don't go with him!' My brains says.

'But maybe they have food'! My stomach says.

"You seem pretty hungry, Danny. Have some food." Alex says holding up a sandwich.

"Fine." I say. "I'll stay."

I go sit down and grab the sandwich, chewing it angrily.

I use this time to check everybody out. Not that way, but just to see who I'm with.

First, I look at Alex. I didn't notice it until now, but he looks really buff. He's wearing a t-shirt and some sweat pants. He has brown hair, and blue eyes.

As for Sam, he's the opposite. He has green eyes, blonde hair, with a greased shirt.

My eyes then move to Nichole. She's looks about as young as Alex and Sam. She has brown eyes, but short brown hair. I don't know why she cut it off, but I'm sure she had a good reason. She has no make up, surprisingly. I can see why Sam likes her.

Now I look back to Brittany. Again the first thing I see is her sparkling brown eyes. Then I see her long brown hair. I can't stop looking at her again.

"Will you stop staring at me while I eat?!" She says. "I hate it when people do that."

"I wasn't." I say back to her.

"Okay." Alex says interrupting both of us. "It sounds like everyone's ready, so let's start going."

Brittany glares at me, but I just ignore it and follow Alex.
