A brother's sorrow (Rewrite)

Chapter 20:The truth

He couldn't sleep, cuddling close to his brother wasn't working anymore, as Michael was passed out cold, Chris was wide awake, he surely was tired, but his body wouldn't let him rest, as soon as he heard footsteps coming on the room, he layed down as fast as he could, trying to hide himself if it was his father

"Chris? You're awake?" Alex whispered, making the blond, get up and hug him

"He didn't trash you!" The blond smiles, feeling his adoptive brother's hand pass through his hair

"He didn't, for now..." The brown haired boy sighs, sitting down on the bed with the younger

"So, he'll really get rid of you?" Chris grasps the blanket, looking down, feeling his eyes stinging with tears

"Probably..." Alex sighs, putting his hand on his adoptive brother's shoulder "I don't know what to do...I feel like i should take you and your brother out of here, but..."

"Do what you think is the right thing" The younger smiles at him "You helped me once, because you felt it was the right thing to do"

"I'm not the same..." The brown haired whispers, looking away as he sighs "Whatever I decide to do, I'm sure you need to know the whole story" he puts his hand on the blond's scar

"The whole–?"

"Over here!" Alex runs to the basement door, throwing it open, Clay following right behind him "I'm sure it was around here...!" He looks over  an clean wall, smiling as he analysing

"Are you sure? this looks like a normal office" The man looks over the desk, opening the book on it, there were human organs drawed on it

The brown haired boy, presses a tile on the floor by accident, the wall opening to a big room, a green light filling the little office, calling the officer's attention

"I told you!" Alex smiles, looking at the man, who looked disbelief at him "C'mon! We need to save–" A gunshot was heard, the boy falls to the ground

"Well. Well. Looks like we have a traitor here, huh?" William steps on the boy's head, starting to put pressure on it, his cheeks starting to crack as a strange yellow substance starting to leak from the hole on his forehead

"Hands out, Afton!"  Clay points his gun to the man, who chuckles, going to two containers, as the officer stare in horror at them, looking wickedly

"Look at them, both under my control..." The man chuckles again, turning back to the other man "Now...I just need to get rid of you and that piece of junk who betrayed me, and we will be happily ever after" with that, the body on the ground moved, his eyes glowing with a golden light

The robot gets up, his head bent forward, like his body was moving on his own, possessed. Alex head snaping up, his glare focused at William, hatred piercing at the one he called his father, the officer points his gun at the boy, trembling in fear
The black haired man turned to his creation, his face twitching in despair, as the machine approaches with loud steps

"No! Stay away!" William screams shooting Alex on his main power source, but the brown haired continues, like he didn't need it to survive, only him wanting to live was enough "Shit!" He screams as he runs out of bullets and gets cornered between the containers

"I need reinforcements!" Clay whisper-yells on his walkie-talkie, trembling as he slowly gets closer to the two

"Please! Have mercy!" William sobs, as the machine slowly raises both hands on his direction "I take back everything I said about you! Just please don't kill me!"

The robot sticks his hand on the container's control panel, electricity coming from his body to the panel, he let what was familiar to a grunt of pain, the greenish liquid started to get sucked by some little tubes at the bottom of the containers
Quick footsteps could be heard getting closer, as well for the deep coughing coming from the older sibling, who was starting to wake up from him forced sleeping form, Alex looks at Clay, forcing a tiny grin to escape from his lips

"Save them, mister..." A whisper was heard on the officer's ear, the boy, no, the most human robot that exists was sacrificing itself for two boys, who, if it weren't for him, would end up without memory and trapped in the hands of a cruel father, his own creator

Alex wipes his sibling's cheek, who blinks repeatedly, starting to tremble as he hugs his older brother, his savior, being snuggled in his chest, Chris falls asleep, grasping at the dark red hoodie, his nightmares and worries disappearing just by being at his side
The older boy gently puts the younger at his blood brother's side, moving the man to be wrapping his arms protectively around him, The robot smiles, looking down at the two boys at the bed, he wasn't like them, he wasn't human, he was just a piece of wondering metal, who coincidentally development emotions, human emotions, he can feel pain, he can feel happiness, but most importantly, he can feel love, and that what he feels for the Afton siblings
