Pain and misery. Danse, my friend, my mentor. Gone. I sobbed. I yelled. I was in shock. I just killed the man who had become like a father to me. I felt arms wrap around me. I looked up to see the woman holding me. I leaned my head into her head and continued to cry. She rubbed the back of my head in a motherly fashion. After about an hour she spoke up. " We've been sleeping in the same bed for 3 days and we don't know each other's names. I'm Sabine, Sabine Wren. Who are you?"
" Artyom, Artyom Kalashnikov. I'm sorry for being a mess."
" It's fine, you just did something most people could never do. You were only following orders."
" Thank you. So Miss Wren, do you have anything to do later?"
" Don't call me Miss Wren, its Sabine. But no, your Elder has ran out of history lessons. Why?"
" Would you like to go on a patrol with me?"
" Sure"
" Ok, I've got some good spots for tonight."
Later that evening
"So are we near one of your 'good spots'?"
" Yes, Sabine yes we ar--" I was cut off when I heard a scream followed by a gunshot. I rushed over to see what was wrong, Sabine then decided to hop on my back. After looking through my advanced sensors I found a mother with her son next to her and her baby in her arms. The boy was crying. I turned on my headlamp to make myself known. " What happened?" I asked
The boy looked at me clearly frightened by the man in the metal suit. " A man shot my mommy." The boy replied. The baby started to fuss so Sabine picked her up, stopping the fussing. " We were slaves before. Our master beat us and called us names. So a few hours ago me and my mommy escaped. They found us again and shot mommy"
I felt horrible, I took my helmet off and looked at the boy," would you like to live with me?" The boy nodded. I called in a vertibird to pick us up. An hour later we had two sleeping kids in bed with us.
So Artyom gets to be a father after all. Also can someone give me names for the kids. The baby is a girl, and the boy is the older one.
