The Life & Lies of Zane Julien

by goldenmuffins

It was an lonely day accentuated by the shadowy rain, yet it was hard to believe that in a few moments, I would suffer something terrible. I should have sensed the danger in its heart. I continued talking, unknowing of the danger I was in . . . (My 1st fanfic. Be nice. Warning: T for Character death, blood, swearing, and more. No sexual stuff tho)

3. Chapter 2

Hey sorry that it's been so long . . . sometimes life really sucks ):

So this is chapter 2. Please review.

-Ch. 2-

The next day I woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs. I went downstairs and met up with my father. He seemed to be in a good mood today.

'Great news, Zane!'

'What is it, Father?'

'I finally finished the motorbike I was working on!'

'Congratulations, Father.' I smile. 'That is a great accomplishment.'

'Ah, thank you.' He beams at me. 'I'm going to take a ride into the town outside the forest today. We're running low on fruit and bread. I'll be back in a few hours.'

'Alright, Father.' I look deep into his grey eyes. 'Be careful.'

'I'll be fine.' He ruffles my artificial hair, turns, and walks out the door. I wave as he speeds off in the motorbike.

Now my he's gone, I can continue searching the basement. I've got to be careful, because if anything happens to some of the inventions down here, my father will know.

I walked down the steep stairs leading into the basement. I cough a bit from dust and finally reach the bottom. I push open the door and walk inside.

Again, it's pitch black. I click the button that makes my head glow and search around the room.

Fan . . .

Old crate . . .

Broken stove . . .

Rusty chainsaw . . .

Blueprints . . .

More blueprints . . .

And . . . that's when I saw it.

The robot was leaned up against the wall. I knelt next to it and looked at it's face. It was hard to see even with my glowing face. I search for the 'On' switch. Maybe this robot will know why it's down here. I finally locate the switch and flick it.

The robot's eyes turn red and glow.

'I aM Z-1. YOu wIlL bE deStroYed.' His face was strange and static-y. His voice changed pitch ever-so-slightly between letters. 'TaRgeT fOuNd. KilL. KilL. KilL. KilL. KilL. KilL-' Fear floods through me as I step backwards. I trip on sumething and my heads hits the floor and my head light turns off. 'KilL. KilL. KilL-'

Quickly I slap the 'Off' switch and run from the basement.

I should've never gone down there.

If I hadn't gone down there I would still be alive.

Thx for reading. please review.
