A/N: Well I actually wrote more for another chapter It's not much, but simply to get to the next point...a filler. Well you know the drill R and R >,>
I watched as he swam back onto land and onto a hillside trying to hide from the nearing robot. And suddenly I felt very alone.
Chapter Five
I stood in the same spot watching as people tried desparately to get away from the robot on land, Bryan had went out of sight and it scared me. He had said if we didn't get on we would die...so would he die.
I hope not, we were getting attached.
In an attempt to stop the threat of tears I turned around and faced somewhere else. But everybody was looking over edge of the boat, curious as to what it was I walked over. In the water their was like gas coming up, it was water bubbling up, and a bright light was slowly emerging. Knowing by the looks of others that this was not good, I quickly backed away to the other side.
I heard loud shouting from the port, "BACK! BACK!"
Do what they say. Do it!
"But how?" I asked, noticing as people scrambled away from the the bubbling water and some even jumping in the cars.
Jump!
Without any reaction time I threw myself off the ferry. I hit the icy cold water and gasped loudly when I came up. I tried desparately to swim back to the port but I was being dragged down...my boots... I gasped and gulped for air as the cold water slowly enveloped my head. I opened my eyes under water to see that another robot was coming up by the ferry. My eyes widened and once again attempted to swim towards shore. Realizing the only way I could get anywhere was by taking my shoes off, I went above water and took a deep breath, then went back down to untie the boots.
By the time I had came back up, everything was in utter chaos, everyone on the ferry were screaming and jumping out, the ferry had capsuled and people were desperately swimming to shore. The robot was now above water and was scooping up people.
Don't stare! Go!
I began swimming towards land and was thankful that I had learned to swim at a young age, the robot was already nearing land and I began to panic. Once I was able to actually touch land I got on my feet and began coughing up water. The screams got closer and I remembered where I was and began running up the hill that Bryan had. And hid in a hole in the hill, it was hidden by a tree and a rock. Despite my shivering and teeth chattering I tried my best to remain quiet and hidden while it came onto land and in the hazy air you could see clothes covered in gray dust.
The clothes people wore...
It was errie how quiet it had gotten, there was no more screams, no more splashing water. It was now walking on land and was searching the hill, at some points it would use it's lazers and the people would be gone in a gray puff and clothes. As it got nearer I hid deeper in my spot, afraid it would see me. It got closer but was distracted and it quickly walked away, making the low-pitched noise.
I breathed a sigh of releif and relaxed, I finally realized just how cold it was and shivered violently. My feet were no longer protected as I lost my boots in the water. I coughed quietly and got up, my clothes were soaked, but I saw no point in changing, as my bag also got wet. I crept slowly around the hill, listening for the alien robot and got to the front to see that some others had survived and were walking back in-land.
I followed behind quietly, still worried that the robot thing would come back.
It most likely will.
I wondered what happened to Bryan, but I stopped as things led up. He was hiding in the hill, it was by the hill killing people...so most likely...
No, we will not think like that.
"Agreed," I said, I felt better not thinking about it.
Soon more people were walking in the general direction of me. Everybody it seemed had lost all life, we all walked disheartedly, nobody really speaking, nobody finding any reason.
Hope is all gone.
You might be like them, you have no hope.
"That's not true. I have hope, hope for Bryan to be aliAve, for Dad, for my family in Oklahoma. They could all be alive," I muttered quietly, my throat was hoarse and it hurt to talk.
They could all be dead.
"They're not!" I yelled loudly, a man walked by shaking his head and clucking softly.
"We might survive, but most of have been greatly affected mentally. Some who feel so alone they talk to themselves."
"That's not true! I talked to myself to begin with!" I yelled angrily. But the man just kept on walking.
You're resorting yourself to talking to strangers...possibly desparate strangers.
I walked slowly forward, not quite sure where I was going but simply following the crowd to wherever they were going.
A/N: Thanks for reading it...sorry that it is a bit boring. I'll be sure to make it more interesting. Well I wish somebody would reveiw so you could tell me what you think of the characters, about the plot, how I write so I can improve. And I'm posting a Jedi fic if you're interesting...
