Zareth the Typo Boy Movie:
White Bird
Chapter 12
Wishful thinking
Perhaps an explanation is in order. There were three hard drives taken by Dr. Julien. Gabriel, Donald, and Lyra. During the Serpentine wars All three of these droids were commissioned to become a doctor and nurses. After the war they no longer had a need for them. So they were recommissioned to act as assassins. Being turned on whenever they were needed, and turned back off again when not. The hard drives were stowed in a warehouse where Dr. Julien retrieved them and ran. When Dr. Julien tried to repurpose Midnight; it was like there were two personalities rather than the one. The nurse...and the assassin.
Danny watched in horror as Midnight screamed and writhed on the ground. Her arm fell to the ground a few feet away from her. Aloe picked up Otto. All you could see in his older brother's arms were his feet, and the tips of his hair. Aloe sniffed him to make sure he didn't smell any blood on him.
Midnight got up and growled at Aloe. Her teal eyes gone, replaced with that of a set of deep bronze eyes.
"How dare you!" Each finger tip seemed to have a knife in the tips. Aloe kept leaning down nuzzling the crying boy. Trying his best to purr to sooth him.
"Midnight what is the matter with you?" Danny grabbed her sister's good hand, turning her around.
"What is the matter? I am tired of playing assistant. I am tired of…" She looked oddly at Danny. Her eyes went to the firehouse and then back to them. "I am…" She started to shake. She looked down at the arm and then back up at Otto.
"It would seem your local subroutines have begun to close themselves off." Midnight gasped being picked up by the white. She knew that smell though as she was hugged tightly. The smell of mint, and freshly fallen snow.
"Almost like you have something better to do then listen to your programming." Zane said looking down at Danny who shook her head.
"I am...Gabriel...I am...Midnight." She said one eye bronze and the other teal.
"But you are my sister, regardless of who you are. You can not attack me."
"That is true." Midnight sighed, closing her eyes and opening them again. The teal color was gone.
"What happened?" Danny asked, looking at her son. Aloe was sitting on the ground under the apple tree. His fingers dancing over an apple to make a face on it. Otto giggled and took it from his gentle claws.
"Are you alright?" Midnight asked slowly, trying to stand up. Her shoulder popped and she sat back down with a hiss.
"Perhaps we should get her to Borg tower." Zane tried to help her up.
Danny looked over her shoulder.
"She reaps what she sows." She said plainly before climbing the steps into the house. Zane looked surprised.
"She's always been that way." Aloe finally was able to say through a mouth full of teeth. "Hard on people when they piss her off. I mean...Midnight did just try to kill Otto." Aloe said looking down at Otto who was crunching into the apple. He wasn't shaking anymore at least.
Midnight looked at Otto who seemed to recoil away from her sight. Aloe pulled him back into his large arms.
"It is alright Otto. I will not harm you now."
"Whats stopping you from later. Our children do not have the sibling codes we do." Midnight looked up at the house and then back at Zane.
"I do not know...but Donny...will be pissed." She watched Danny walk out of the house with a map. She lay it down in front of Midnight.
"Show us where Donny has been hiding." Danny told Midnight.
"I can not, Da…" The sound of a gun clicking out of Danny's arms. "You can not kill me Danny. The si…" She gasped when a shot went through her leg.
"You touched my son, went after my other son. Perhaps it's time you realize just how useful that sibling code really is." Midnight pointed to a spot in the desert and looked up at the barrel of the gun. The sound of the laser hitting her between the eyes was the last thing Midnight heard.
