The story continues…
7 sat quietly on the bed watching the twins in their peaceful sleep. She was lost in her thoughts and the more she played her conversation in her head with 9, the worse she felt. It wasn't entirely his fault his curiosity got the better of him, heck she has been with the twins long enough to know that. After a moment's thought she climbed back down and searched for her friend, after all they had done he deserved some rest.
7 walked by the first room and heard ruffling of papers. She slowly walked in trying to avoid seeing the scientist's body. She looked around thinking how much this building had changed since she first woke up. She made her way up from a pile of stacked books and boxes, "9, what are you doing?" 9 turned to acknowledge her presence and went back to searching the journal. "7 do you think this is what the scientist had in mind?" the white doll gave him a confused look, "What do you mean?" 9 sighed, "I'm sure he wanted all of us to destroy the machine and live together, but why did he create the talisman with the ability to kill us too?"
7 had no answer for that and the thought had crossed her mind as well. "I guess things just didn't go the way he wanted, but we still have to live on, for everyone's sake" 9 shook his head, how could he just accept that? "7 if the scientist had the knowledge to understand how to create us, he should have thought the machines could use the talisman to destroy us too," Again 7 didn't know how to answer that "9, I am not him so I don't know what he had planned," 9 quickly turned to one of the pages near the beginning, "This caught my attention" 7 walked over and began reading the page dated August 8th, "An old friend arrived today while I began working on the first, this troubles me as his home is only a few streets down from here," 7 turned to 9 wondering why this was so important. 9 signaled her to keep reading "Our armies can't hold them off long enough and they go further in every day. I must continue my research before the machines find me,"
7 finished the rest of the passage before speaking to 9 "I don't understand what this is all about," 9 pointed to the beginning of the entry "This friend of his, I'm sure he must have seen the scientist research and maybe even tried to create others like us," 7's optics grew "Are you sure?" 9 nodded "Here read what happened the next day," 9 turned the page and 7 began reading the entry "August 9th, The night isn't as quite as it used to be, I can only hide and hope the machines don't level this building like so many others. I must be more careful from now on, my friend left this morning telling me he was going to see if it is possible to find a safe route out of the city," 7 began to wonder why this was relevant at all, that is until she read the next part "I fear he might have found my research and piece together what I intend to, but I cannot be sure if he found how to make the talisman. Without it all of this won't be possible, then again he never was one to leave a problem go unsolved,"
7 sat back after finishing and pondered what she had just read "9 do you believe there could be others?" 9 placed a hand on his chin "I can't say I'm entirely sure, but we should keep this in mind," 7 stood up "Is that all you found?" 9 sprang up "Actually there was this," he ran over to a notebook next to the journal. "I also found this," 9 turned a few of the pages "This is the design of the talisman, but this one doesn't look like the one we have," 7 took a closer look. 9 was right the talisman they had looked like the one in the drawing, but they only had half of it "Wait what does the other part do?" 9 smiled "If the one we have takes energy away, I was thinking with the other half it can give it back," 7 felt her joy rising for the first time "Do you think we can bring everyone back?" 9 looked back at the drawing "We will know soon enough, but first things first the other half was hidden away, we just have to find it," 7 turned and scanned the vast room "Let's get to it then," she quickly made her way down deciding to search the book case lined with all sorts of different objects. Don't worry 5 I won't fail you this time.
This is a short chapter I know, but I'm cluttered with homework for the past week or so (This is the last time I take an 8 week course in college -_-') R&R
I hope my grammar doesn't bother you this time QueenOfDragons2, I didn't notice all the errors before.
