Am I Evil
chapter 1: On the Land of Pandora
Ever since I was young I knew I was different, life was tough there was no doubt about that. I started off harmless but would soon become a killing machine like the rest. I lived with a band of raiders, we mainly kept to ourselves in the small community. My father tried to protect me from the others as much as he could, shutting me away from the horrors that lay outside my front door. I had everything I needed, my father made sure of that. He was a smart man and he was good with a gun that's what mainly protected our community. Though from what I know and from what he said every time he came home was that there wasn't much to fight for, no one did anything for us and my father protected them. My father always said he wanted a different life rather than the one he has, he was trying to make sure I would have a better life than him. He did so by teaching me all he could but by the time I was ten I knew everything he had to teach me. From then he taught me how to shoot, we started off with pistols and cans on a box, from a young age I hardly ever missed. It was only two months after that I got to use a sub machine gun, I used them until I was fourteen. The day before my fourteenth birthday my father said "Get your rest, I've got a surprise for you tomorrow".
I woke up early the next day to my dad wanting me outside urgently, he practically dragged me outside. I can remember walking outside to the sun blinding me and seeing two people in front of me, I couldn't make out who it was to begin with, I knew one of them was my dad. I raised my arm and to shield my eyes from the glare of the sun and realized the other person was my mother and i could see from their body language that they were hiding something. I immediately wanted to know what it was that they had for me, my dad brought a rifle from behind his back and I ran over to grab it. I asked him if he thought I was really ready for firing a bigger gun and he just nodded at me, he then brought out a sniper scope. As we were going back to the house I thought to myself that he must really trust me to fire accurately to get me a sniper rifle. My dad grabbed two bags and we went for a walk up the hill behind our house, when we were about ten feet from the top we stopped off and set up a camp fire. He attached the scope to the rifle "I have set up a few targets to hit, see if you can hit a few. I've told people that there will be a bit of shooting but be careful."
I looked through the scope and saw my uncle Steven, i never really liked him. Aiming at his head, I watched where he was going for a minute and i saw a target above him. The targets were just a few rings, the red and yellow rings looked like they had just been roughly drawn up on the wall and the green ring was very small. I thought to myself that no one could hit that... I try to calm myself because I realized i had got myself a bit excited, I inhaled deeply then held it trying to make my scope steadier. As i was going to shoot. a gunshot fired in the distance and my uncle Steven had been shot in the forehead. The bullet had went right through, blood seeped through both sides of his head as his lifeless body fell to the floor. At that moment i should have felt at least a little sorrow but I smiled infact i reveled in the fact that he was died. My dad was unsure what had happened, he grabbed the gun from me and looked towards his brother, he realized he was dead. At first he looked at me with rage but this quickly changed to panic. He gave me a pistol and said "Always protect yourself ", as he fled down to help fight off the intruders.
I grabbed my sniper rifle off of the ground to watch what was happening, my dad ran into the house to get my mother. By the time they got out there was 6 Hyperion robots lining the rest of our small group up against a wall. The robots caught my mother and father and lined them up too. Even though my dad gave up a good fight, he was no match. There was only five people captured and six robots, someone must have told them exactly how many robots they'd need. That means the last one could have been looking for me, i shuddered. I continued watching with sweat dripping from my forehead as i knew they were about to get shot. I seen one raising a gun up to my dad's face. I knew I needed to do something so I pulled the trigger to shoot it right in the eye but my dad must have forgotten to load the weapon as nothing happened. I remembered about the ammo in my bag but it was too late. They were helpless and all I could do was watch as they killed my mother and father with one bullet each. At this point I felt nothing, I did not feel sorrow but i wasn't happy about it like i was with my uncle Steven. After that i ran in the opposite direction hoping to find something, I ran for three years and ended up here.
"Wow that's quite the story" said Kira in a soft toned voice
"Yeah, well what about you? what did you say you were looking for again?" said Dave with a curious expression on his face.
"I'm looking for my sister, she's found a safe place out here she said its called the sanctuary. Where are you heading?"
"Wherever and whatever direction i want really, nowhere to go just keep running and if i need to, killing",
"Well, I'm going to need some help to get there. I've heard that the road to sanctuary is dangerous, would you mind coming with me?."
"i have nowhere else to go and it should be good to travel with someone else rather than go alone. yeah i'll help you, as long as you keep me fed."
