The One Sided Battle
Kelvin seemed paralyzed, I couldn�t even see his chest moving which signified he wasn�t breathing. I already knew the thing that was watching us was behind me but I had no clue what it looked like because I only saw it through the corner of my eye. I started to slowly turn my head to see what had scared Kelvin to paralysis against my better judgment. I don�t know why I didn�t go with my gut and try to run despite the pain but my curiosity was to great and even my logic was beginning to side with seeming it. If it traveled fast enough for me not to see it then I wouldn�t be able to outrun it even if I was healed. My head finished the turning and I saw the thing.
It was about 6 feet tall and looked to be made of metal. It had an engine of some sort on its back that was attached to its head through a 4 pronged staff. It looked human like and was brown in color. The robot had a sadistic smile on its face and sharp red eyes that could probably be seen from some distance away. �Hello there young children. I have been ordered by my master to dispose of all humans and apparently you seem to fit that description rather well.�
�Kelvin!� I shouted quickly. �Run, try to get S-.� But before I could finish my sentence the robot smashed me in the side so hard that it threw me across the road into the side of a house. I cried and screamed in pain even though I knew it would make no difference, Kelvin and I were going to die because Sam still wasn�t here. I didn�t think my arm was broken but the pain was still unbearable. I started to feel pain on my opposite should to, probably because it crashed into the house first because I tucked my head in out of reflex. As I lay on the side of the house in pain I stopped screaming, I knew it was no good. My eyes filled with tears that still rolled down my face in large clumps but nothing came out of my mouth, I was not going to scream. I assessed my injuries quickly, I had a badly skinned shoulder and a wounded arm. I knew that normally I would not have been fast enough the duck my head in or sturdy enough to take that hit without a few broken bones so I finally agreed with Sam, this world does make you stronger.
Kelvin was standing in front of the robot shaking wildly. �Little boys should not come here,� the robot said with a sense of sadistic glee in its voice. �Weaklings like you are not tolerated here, and my job is to kill all the weaklings to prevent them from getting strong.� After finishing this the robot just stared at Kelvin as he still sat there, paralyzed in fear. �Weaklings like you are not tolerated here.� The robot repeated once again. But Kelvin still sat there, like he was behind in all that had happened.
�Kelvin!� I shouted from the side of the house. �Get the hell out of there!�
�Shut up miserable human.� The robot said as he turned his face towards me. �I figured that attack of mine would have at least knocked you out, but I guess then I should use more power next time. The attack I used on you was at about 10% of my power and I can tell it did hurt you, but not enough to cause major damage. You can still move and talk and your not screaming yet but I can defiantly fix that. My favorite part of killing things is torturing them while they beg for death until I kindly give them their wish. The looks on the faces of you miserable humans is what I love about this job.� I lay there defenseless as the sadistic robot smiled again. He began to approach me. Move I said to myself as the robot steadily decreased the amount of space between me and him. I looked at Kelvin who was still paralyzed in fear, I thought he was dead. Move I said again as the robot passed the half way mark between Kelvin and I. Move I said again but it was no use. My body was in to much pain to do anything but sit there and ache. All I need to do is roll or something so that I know I am still alive I said to myself. The robot advanced further as I rolled to the left. Now I was on my stomach, laying down. I couldn�t summon enough strength to sit up let alone stand up and the robot was still coming near me at a slow and steady pace.
�Kelvin! Snap out of it!� I shouted as I looked at his frozen body again. �Come on Kelvin! I need your help, I am going to die if you don�t help me! Please, just snap out of it!� This was to no use however because me was still frozen. I looked around for something to throw at him hoping it would help him wake up. I had my eyes scan the surrounding area and I spotted a small pebble about four feet in front of me. �Damn, can�t reach it� I said quietly. I tried moving my right arm but I felt a sudden burst of pain and screamed. I moved it anyways, I bit my tongue as the immense pain almost overwhelmed my body. When my right arm was about a foot above my head my head I released it and felt a sudden drop in the pain level of my body. Then I did the same with my other arm and felt a somewhat smaller amount of pain as In pushed that arm slightly farther above my head. I dragged my body forward with every once of strength I had. I repeated this process once more and felt the pain surge through my body in still almost overwhelming doses. I grabbed the rock with my left hand and rolled over on my side. As I lay on my back I looked up to see the robot looking down on me with the same twisted, sadistic smile. Then he kicked me towards the right. I landed ten feet away from were I was on my left side. I rolled back over onto my back and lifted my upper body with my right arm. I once again screamed in pain but I finally had the pebble that I could use to snap Kelvin out of it. I scanned for Kelvin only to find that he was no longer in the location he was at prior. Before I could find him however, the robot was already next to me again.
�It seems as though your friend has abandoned you boy.� The robot said in a happy voice. �You must be filled will unimaginable hate for your accomplish. Abandoning you to try and escape, its so funny. Of all creatures I hate humans the most because they have no loyalty, no honor. They do not care for the whole but only for their own selfish gain and their own life. They do not care who they step over, who they kill as long as they can survive. Often they try to make deals with me, trying to sell one out for another. I take the information they offer and then take their lives. Nothing disgusts me more than your disloyalty for another, this is why I hate humans.� The robot looked at me again and laughed a sadistic laugh. �Humans are all the same, you would sell each other out in a heartbeat for power or your own life. So, are you going to try to sell out your friend for your life, or will you die a noble death?�
�I wanted him to leave to be completely honest.� I said with a little smile on my face. �He has a chance at getting out of here and returning to the real world were he belongs, I don�t. He has a loving family that is still alive, I don�t. Logically it would be stupid to give away were he is to save myself. He is happy in our world, I am not. That�s what it comes down to. I have nothing to return to hence I have no reason to live. If I wanted to run I would have tried leaving the first time I saw you.� Then I screamed in pain as I collapsed back onto my back. I was out of energy. �Well, are you going to kill me or should I do it myself?�
