You'll be noticing in the next couple of chapters that the plot has been changed. In some areas quite a bit will be different. Wanna say thanks to Grimlockx4 for the only reviewer. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
I watched as thunder and lightning flash outside, lighting up a little cave I'd happened across in my travels. For three days now, I have been living off the land. After my abrupt disappearance, I am certain that people are searching for me. Lucky for me, I know how to survive in the wilderness, as if it is some innate skill I was born with. I ran out of food this morning but I also discovered that I am very good hunter.
While thinking about what I am doing here and what is going on, there are two very plump rabbits which will be the main course. What bothers me most, however, is that for some odd reason, I've come to notice that I don't sleep or eat very much. It's almost as if my body knows how to take care of itself on minimal sustenance and I have to wonder why.
Snap!
Without even thinking, I grab my knife and get into a defensive position. I hear soft footfalls to my left and shift my eyes to that direction. I watch as a large black wolf comes into the firelight. It looked straight at and for some reason because of that stare I couldn't move my limbs, as if I had been paralyzed. I looked at the wolf with no expression. I had no idea how long we stood there staring at each other before he finally blinked. But when I blinked he vanished.
As soon as I realized I could move again, I shifted my limbs slowly. I felt as if he was giving me some kind of warning but from what, I had no idea. I looked to my burned dinner and kicked it into the fire before hearing the pitter patter of rain outside. I gathered all my things before heading outside. A bright, full moon floated in the sky. As I stared at it a long, piercing howl shot through the forest followed by a gunshot. The rain came down harder then before. Movement to my right made me turn to stare into a pair of yellow eyes before they vanished.
Going by instinct alone, I decide to follow the wolf, "Lead the way Shadow."
I followed him running along after him in the pouring rain. There would be no turning back now but at least I am not alone anymore.
As I run with Shadow I find myself to be actually enjoying nature and all it has to offer. By the time Shadow and I stop running, it is already mid-morning. I stop and look around, realizing we had run that long and I wasn't in the least bit tired. It was like I hadn't been running at all. Shadow bounds off and leaves me standing there, but a minute hadn't even passed before I could hear him howl in the distance. His howl wasn't urgent so I knew no one was around, so I can only assume he must have found something.
I came around the bend and found him nowhere to be seen. There seems to be a weird green light coming from the tree. I walk over to the tree and look toward the light, wondering what it is. A green glowing panel stared back at me. I reach in to grab and pull it out holding it in my hands and let myself study it. Suddenly the light grew brighter and brighter and out of surprise, I drop it. The moment it hit the ground, a rainbow of colors came out followed by burst of white light. I shut my eyes waiting for the light to fade so I can look at it without going blind. Once it was gone, I slowly opened my eyes and stared at what was standing where the panel had once been.
A little black and green robot now stands in front of me. It looks down at me and tilts its head. Before he could do anything I leapt back several feet and put myself in a defensive position. The little robot seemed startled at my quick movement but he did not move towards me. I then decided to observe the robot and started circling him. He did not move except to turn his head to watch me. Once I decided he wasn't a threat – I step forward to greet it, hoping it speaks English, "Hello there."
Even though it spoke in beeps and clicks, I understood it perfectly. It pushed itself forward and held out its hand, "My name is Nightstalker. And I am your Minicon."
