Newcomer to the Junkyard

It was a normal day in the city junkyard and the giant orange magnet was continuing his job. That was destroying anything he saw as junk that came onto his turf. He loved his job, but there was one thing about the appliances and cars that always came in here. He was jealous of them since they at least had a human love them before dubbed useless. Magnet though, never received love from any human. He was built here to do his job and no one ever came for him, not even those who built him. Soon, his life was about to change due to an unexpected guest about to walk in.

A poor young woman by the name of Elizabeth was left on the streets after her family passed away. However, she didn't have money to find a new home, so she had been wandering through alley ways trying to find company from others and food, both with very little luck. She grew sadder each day and wandered into the junkyard to be alone, or so she thought.

The Magnet, being on his tall tower crane, eventually saw the young female. Yet, this time he didn't see her as junk to destroy. In fact, he lowered himself to her to get a closer look, but shutting his eyes quickly after to avoid being noticed that he was alive.

Elizabeth looked up and saw this magnet and was confused. She then realized that she was probably going to die by it.

"Whoever is controlling this magnet to kill me…" she spoke up, sounding very sad "…just do it already."

The magnet though didn't move and instead, did something he shouldn't do, but at this point didn't care. He opened his eyes and looks at her with the first time showing a calm look instead of his usual glare.

Elizabeth shrieked at that, but then looked amazed.

"You're controlling yourself…." Elizabeth responded, still shocked "No, this must be a weird dream."

The magnet tried his best to shake his big head, no, then attempted to nuzzle her to tell her he didn't want to hurt her. He saw she needed him and wanted her as his mistress, so someone could finally love him.

Elizabeth reached out her hand and lightly touches the magnet, stroking him lightly, causing him to shut his eyes to show happiness.

"Don't try and befriend him." One of the junkyard cars spoke up

Elizabeth got alert, realizing they're all alive now. However, she didn't understand what was just said.

"I beg your pardon?" Elizabeth asked that car

"That magnet is a killer." Another car spoke up "He'd probably trying to guilt trip you into having crushed like he does to us."

The magnet's intimidating glare returned to his face and he rushed at the two cars that spoke, grabbing them with his base in one swift moment. He then angrily put them on the conveyor belt to be crushed for their lies. Elizabeth was the one newcomer he was going to make sure didn't get hurt.

"You're not going to do the same thing to me are you?" Elizabeth asked

The magnet goes back down to her, nuzzling her again with his eyes shut.

"Why do you keep doing that?" Elizabeth asked, somewhat confused

The magnet looked around, then grabs a piece of metal and started drawing something around her. Elizabeth waited until he was done and saw that the drawing was of a heart. She looked back to him to noticed he had a saw he had a sad look on his face.

"No one has ever loved, and you want us to stay together." Elizabeth responded, realizing what was going on "I will stay with you most of the time, but I will need to leave every now and then to find food."

The magnet nuzzled her again, not wanting to leave her side. He wouldn't like it when she has to leave for a bit, but he'll tolerate it.

Elizabeth attempts to hug his head, then gets ready to leave to find food.

"I have to go now, but I promise to return to you as soon as possible….Executor." she told him then left the junkyard.

Executor…he thought to himself. He had a name for the first time and he felt great to have it. He knew now that he wasn't alone now and someone could love him like other machines out there. As he watched her leave, he really felt love for the first time and hope she'd keep her word and return to him. For now though, he would resume with his job.

To be continued…..
