The Robots Series I: The Earth's Core

Chapter 7: Tyrone's POV

The last thing I remember is fighting Nate and feeling a sharp pain in my stomach. I dream about Jasmine and Danielle. That I wake up and they're with me. We go in a huge hug and I tell them I love them as many times as I can.

But this beautiful moment end when I wake up. I open my eyes to Danny with a sad look on his face. When he sees me awake it instantly changes to relief.

"I thought you were dead." He tells me while standing up from a rock he was sitting on.

"What happened?" I ask him trying to get up. But when I do I feel a sharp pain in my stomach and back. I fall back down instantly.

"Don't try to get up. It's just going to make it hurt worse. Now, here's what happened." He starts, obviously remembering my question. "While you were fighting Nate the people I used to be with came by."

"So you weren't alone this whole time." I tell him. "How did you get separated?"

"I had to leave." He starts telling me but stops. "I just had to. Anyways, one of my friends... Accidentally shot you. We brought you back here, and you just woke up after a day."

"Where's Nate?" I ask him while instantly remembering that robber.

"He ran away after you were shot." He tells me with sympathy in his voice.

I couldn't believe it. He got away again. He stole everything I had, and he got away! Danny can see the anger in my face so he try's to calm me down.

"Maybe it was for the best." He tells me.

For the best?! Is he joking?! I try my best not to punch that kid in the face.

"Are you kidding me?!" I shout angrily. He starts to explain but I'm too angry to listen. Him being a kid isn't an excuse. "I'm leaving as soon as I can."

"What?" He says surprised. I didn't expect him to understand. But, he seems so sad and surprised. So, I decide to soften my voice a little bit.

"I have to find my family alone." I start telling him. "I don't want to worry about hurting someone else. You have to understand that I have to do this alone."

He just nods his head. So I continue. "We'll see each other again someday. Don't worry. I'll be seeing you with your sister. Now go ahead and stay with your group this time."

He takes a while to move but he eventually does. "See you, Tyrone." He tells me then leaves to his group. I sigh from relief as Nate comes from behind a rock.

"Nice acting. I would have believed you myself." He says while helping me up. It takes all my power not to scream from the pain.

"Well, I wasn't acting when I said you got my family get caught when you stole our stuff." I fire back at him.

"Well, I'm helping you get them, aren't I?" He tells me while trying to calm me down. It doesn't work but I know getting mad will just slow us down.

"Whatever." I tell him. "Now let's go find my family."
