THE ROBOT WITHIN ME - Juliano W. (new reading .TXT) 📗

"As the future came near, humanity was never expecting the world to end just as it was beginning." I'm Ronnan Callister and Carlisle , my sister are some of the few surviving people on new earth. a while back a scientist told us in a suttle way that we were part of a prophecy that basically said that we were to stop the world from being doomed in a takeover by these beings.It's the year 2015 and the earth is a barren wasteland. we live in a small village in the mountains of Montana with our friend jasper and her brother Emmett. then there was a rumor going around that these people named James and Victoria had created these robot nanites that in theory would minimally double the average lifetime when added to the blood stream. but what nobody knew was that these nanites had a mind of there own.these trucks came to the village and was handing out samples and jasper was the only one to take some.

Carlisle was in the garden when she heard a rustle coming from the trees about one hundred feet from here , so she went to she what it was. them suddenly i hear a scream coming from outside , so i grab my shotgun and ran outside to see Carlisle pointing to this steel being near the trees. i was about to shoot when Emmett comes up and yells "no, its my sister jasper." after calling over the village scientist , he was able to take a sample of bood after slightly melting the metal on her arm to get the syringe through. once the tests were back we found out that the nanites that she had taken a day earlier had morphed and taken over he whole body , but them the syringe that her blood was in turned into steel and fell to the ground.Ronnon suddenly says "i need to go to Robotics Industry and tell them what happened and maybe they can fix her."with it getting late the three of them decided to go to bed for it was late.

The next morning i was up bright and early trying to think how to get to the Robotics Industry , when it hit me i still have that car sitting in my dads garage. I walked over there , opened the doors , and sure enough it was still there. But did it run? so i did some basic checks and replaced a few parts with the spares sitting all over the place. I found the keys sitting on the counter , grabbed them and walked to the drivers door. I opened the door , and sat in the seat , stuck the keys in the ignition and turned. Carlisle is now just waking up after a very weird day yesterday. she was starting to rub her eyes when she heard a roar followed by some popping noises and slight explosions. she hurries to get up and grabs Ronnon's shotgun and hurries outside. As she walks outside she sees that it's Ronnon and he quickly says " hey sis put that down it's only me.""I just got the challenger running." He said. " what are you doing " she asked. Ronnon replies " Emmett and me are taking this car and we are going to Robotics Industry to see if we can help Jasper." " but you cant leave" she says. " we have to" ronnon replied. " then take me with you " Carlisle pleas , and Ronnon quickly snaps back and says " you know i cant , it will be way to dangerous." She says " why." and he says " because something ain't right."

Ronnon and Emmett are driving down the road when the car starts to slow so they pull over at this gas station , stopping at the pump. while Ronnon was filling the tank and Emmett was getting some food , he hears a thump coming from the trunk. He quickly grabs his gun and runs to the trunk.He pops the trunk and "Carlisle , i told you not to come." that's it were taking you home. they all piled in the challenger and ronnon turned around and as he was getting up to speed the car started to choke , lose power , and slow. Then Emmett's face slams onto the glove box , while the car screeches to a stop. As Emmett is cursing like a sailor , Carlisle quietly asks " whats wrong."all she saw was Ronnon pointing up the road about two hundred yards and there they stood.There was about twenty five robots with their guns cocked , locked , and ready to rock. Then Carlisle feels a hand on her shoulder as Ronnon pushes her and Emmett out of the car. "BOOM!!!!!!!" As asphalt exploded into pieces as a hail of gunfire broke out. Then Ronnon suddenly blacks out when a car door cracks him in the back of the head.

Emmett was the first to wake up after was seemed like days. After a few minutes he stood up and started to walk around, searching through the rubble trying to find his friends. After looking for a few minutes he spots Ronnon and Carlisle lieing on the side of what used to be the road. He limps up to there lifeless bodys. first checking on Carlisle, he trys CPR again and again and luckily she starts to wake. when he stabilizes her he goes to check on Ronnon. He runs over and disgusted by what he sees, that lifeless body, facedown in the mud, and a large gash in the back of his head. Fearing the worst he rushes up to check on him. He gently rolls him over, careful not to do more damage than has already been done. He sees that he is breathing, barly. He tears some stripe of his shirt off to use as bandages. As he bandages him up carefully Carlisle walks over slowly but shirley. Then Carlisle yells," Hey Emmett there is a truck coming up the road down there, she points out." "It looks like there are people in it.", She says. Emmett looks up and says,"looks like an old amry carrier, and it's about a mile away." when this beater comes close Emmett starts to flag them down. The truck screeches to a halt. An old man climbs out of the back of the truck and walks up to Emmett and carlisle. he says," What the hell happened here." Emmett says," Too long to explain , do you have a doctor." " We do, but not with us, she's at our establishment we have.", The old man says. Emmett asks," Can you take us to her." The old man replies," Sure load up , here let me help."
