The Escapes
Diary, it's been a few years since robots took over the world, since they became selfaware. We've been doing well, but every second is a constant reminder of "The Great Search". Constant running and hiding, watching people you know being taken back to The Walls. You saw people die every day, cities were destroyed just to find us. Myself, Clarity and Katherin were the only ones to survive that. The search stopped and so we became known as, "The Escapes". "G, hide!" Clarity says in a struggle, as she is clearing some bushes to get to G. "What?" G starts, "What's going..." Clarity covers G's mouth and hides behind a tree. "They found us!" Clarity whispers. G becomes serious, she nods and goes to collect her stuff, she arms herself with her Mk16 and heads back to Clarity. Katherin arrives shortly after, with her equipment, and they begin sneaking away through the dense forest. They resort to hiding in an old building, destroyed from the search. "Better get some rest then." Clarity suggests. They settle down for the night, listening to the songs of the trees. The next morning, Katherin wakes to a strange beeping noise. She goes off to explore it, not waking anyone else up. The beeping got louder until she finally saw it, a small robot. Katherin hid behind a tree about to run for help when, "Help... me." It said, and without thinking Katherin rushed over to see what she could do. Back at camp, G and Clarity woke. "Hey," G yawned, "Where's Katherin?" "I...." Clarity started, "I don't know." They both got up to look, as they did Katherin rushed inside with the biggest smile on
her face. "Guess what I found!" She exclaimed. G and Clarity's faces became more concerned as the small robot told them how he escaped from his slavery and found a way out of the walls. "I am willing to help you. I see bad thing for my kind's future." The small robot finished. "Well," Clarity begun, "what's your name?" "Bot2834987, but you can just call me Bot." Bot replied, his eyes glowing a soft green and his little antenna was bent. They all gathered in a huddle. "Well?" G started. "Well, we need to kick him out!" Clarity suggested. "What?" Katherin complained, "He's willing to. Help. Us" "Yeah but he's one. Of. Them." Clarity replied. After a few minutes of bickering Katherin won them over and they decided to trust Bot. "Quickly open the gate!" Clarity insisted, she and the others were crouched behind some bushes right outside teh walls that trapped humanity. "He's going as fast as he can Clarity!" As Katherin finished her sentence a thud was made as the gate fell to the ground. Now there was a way to get in and save everyone. They were all determined to save humanity. They rushed towards where the robots stashed the weapons, as Bot was leading them. When they got to the stash they grabbed as much as they could. Now all they had to do was make their great escape. "This way! Before they get here!" Bot exclaimed. They all followed him out a side exit behind a sheet. There was all of humanity left to die in a pit. They went around comforting people and helping them calm down. Robots started to surround them. G, Clarity and Katherin aimed their weapons. Before they begun Bot wrapped his arms around them, disarming them ad stopping them before they could attack.
"How could you?" Katherin whines. "Sorry." replied Bot.
