Chapter 6: A Vamp's Problem
Nos4A2's Pov:
I absolutely could not believe I was doing this! Me, Nos4A2, an enemy of the Galactic Alliance and living nightmare for all robots, was hunting for some food and a mattress just to keep an organic woman from whining. The mattress and covers part won't be such a problem, but the food part is not going to be a simple walk in the holopark. It would mean taking the risk of exposing myself to society and getting chased or caught by the Rangers. But I had to if it means to help keep my prisoner alive. Which brings me back to said prisoner. This Katherine Collins, or Kate as she prefers to be called, is really starting to get under my metallic plating. At first I took her as a fresh new recruit of Star Command that had little experience in the field of intergalactic law enforcement. Which made her an easy target and a perfect way to get the Rangers off my back once and for all. Not only that, but I found her to be quite pleasing to the optic. Her hazel eyes and red/brunette hair truely made her facial appearance stand out in the crowd. And her slinder form and curves aren't too bad either. I wouldn't even be surprised if every male organic she met wanted to please her just to win her over with the looks and physical form she has. But her personality wasn't exactly what I had hoped for. Though she does seem frightened of me she still has the nerve to stand up to me like I'm absolutely nothing to her at all. Not only that but she actually thinks that I can just up and change my ways if I so desired to and everything would be just fine. Well I had no idea what little fantasy world she she's certainly living in or what she sees in me, but changing from bad to good isn't as easy as she thinks. The Rangers wouldn't probably believe me. And even if they did the rest of the Galactic Alliance wouldn't be as welcoming as they would be. I'm a villian and an inhuman monster who has no chance of anyone granting me redemption at this point. Plus changing myself would be hard since it's not in my programming to be a peacemaker or do gooder. I swear that sweet and innocent mindset of hers is going to be her downfall. That and her unbelievably crude vocabulary. I mean she speaks to me as if she's some sort of hovertruck driver! I bet her mother or father never washed her mouth out with soap or gave her any proper punishments for speaking like that as a child. Although I can't truely blame her too much for her enraged attitude and foul mouth towards me. She's only angry with me for kidnapping and trying to kill her and the Little One back in the alley. Plus the anger could also just be her way of covering up the fact that she's more frightened of me and what I am capable of doing to her. So I suppose I do deserve such behavior from her a little bit. But I do hope she cools off soon though. Cause I don't desire for her to die so soon do to my loss of patience. Soon I spotted a hotdog stand that was near an alley that lead into a market place. I had no desire to be seen by others in the market, but the hotdog stand was something I could do. It was nice and vacant, with no other beings around but the vendor. Having only one individual to see me would be more better than a dozen or more. So I swooped down to the vendor and scared him off by roaring in his face. Once he ran away I quickly grabbed a hotdog and some condiments that I thought the girl would like and flew off before the vendor returned with the authorities. Pretty soon I was flying back with all the things the girl wanted and hating how it was effecting my speed and flight. I better be thanked when I return with all of this. I could of just let her starved and be comfortable if I wanted to and she knows it. I also hope that she's even still there when I return as well. After carrying all of this back I just know I won't be in such a good mood. And finding her gone would only send my wired nerves over the edge. However, she did seem smart enough to know I mean business. And my hiding place did seem a bit hard to escape from unless you could fly. And since she no longer had her suit and didn't seem to possess any special abilities, I suppose that means that she won't be going anywhere for a while without my help and permission. So I have nothing to worry my brilliant motherboard about. At least not for now that is. Because I know that if this plan of mine ends with the Rangers not meeting with my demands, I'll probably have no other choice than to do what I had promised to do the girl. And if I must be honest with myself, killing organics wasn't something I was all that comfortable with. Especially when it's a young woman like Kate. Another robot perhaps, but that's only because I need energy to survive. Killing her would just be for business matters only. Not only that but organic fluids such as blood are hard to clean up and I don't really desire to get my cape ruined by her bloodshed. I hope I'll be able to even do so when that time comes. Before I knew it I was near the entrance of my hideout where I hoped the girl was still where I left her. Little did I know that I would be greeted with an unexpected and quite pleasant surprise apon my return.
