Terminator: Kayden's Journey

Escape

An hour or so after we left the parking lot, we approached the gate and I could barely see the guard inside looking up at the sound of the bike's engine. Before we got too close, John ordered the terminator to stop and once he did, John began to speak.

"Now, you gotta promise me you're not gonna kill anyone, right?"

"Right."

"You swear?"

The terminator paused before looking down at John. "What?"

"Just put up your hand and say 'I swear I will not kill anyone'." John demonstrated. The terminator raised his hand after a moment.

"I swear I will not kill anyone." The terminator rode up to the gate once I verbally gave him the go ahead. He stopped and got off the bike just as the guard walked out of the little booth thing.

"Visiting hours are ten to four, Monday through Friday." The guard droned before freezing once the terminator grabbed his gun and took it out. The guard fumbled to grab his own when the other fired, hitting him in the leg, causing him to yell in agony and fell to the ground.

"What the hell are you doing?!" snapped John as he got off of the bike.

"You son of a bitch! You shot me!" howled the guard. The terminator put his arm through the glass and pressed the button that opened the gate before kneeling down and grabbing two clips of ammo and than standing back up, turning towards us, making John hop back on the bike.

"He'll live." the terminator stated in a tone that caused me to almost laugh. A terminator who have a sense of humor, who knew?

He got back onto the bike and rode through the now open gate and into the parking garage before parking. We got off of it and began our search for mom.

The elevator dinged as we hit the desired floor and the terminator walked out first, his shotgun at the ready. I saw him turn his head and that's when I heard screaming. John quickly walked out of the elevator and looked towards where the other was looking. "Mom, wait!"

We began to follow but the terminator grabbed John as we went around the corner. I saw her get taken down and some of the doctors trying to hold her down and probably give her a sedative.

"Help her!" John ordered.

"Stay here." The terminator held his hand out, stopping us from walking forward and went up to them. He grabbed one doctor and threw him into the caged window. Another doctor stood and the terminator grabbed that one as well before throwing him through the window of a door next to him. The final doctor tried to rush him but he struct the doctor in the stomach with his gun and pushed him into the wall. The female officer tried to use her cast to hit him in the face but he only pushed her to the ground and the final game was just standing there, watching.

The terminator took of his glasses, dropping them before looking at mom, who was staring up at him with fear. John and I rushed over, kneeling on either side of her.

"Mom, are you okay?" John grabbed her by the shoulders. When she didn't answer, he snapped. "MOM!"

I saw her head snap towards him for a moment before looking at me, confusion and fear clearly in her eyes. She breathed heavily before looking back up at the terminator.

"Come with me if you want to live." the terminator stated, offering her his hand.

"It's okay mom, he's here to help." I told her. She looked at me than back up at the terminator before hesitantly reaching up and gripping his hand. He helped her up as John and I stood, John never letting her go. I heard footsteps a second later and saw the terminator look behind us. I looked and down the hall, behind a gate door thing was the T-1000. It stopped before actually going through the door, making me freeze. This was the first time I had ever seen this happen and I was scared shitless.
