When my eyes open again, I'm standing in an empty, square like room.
I hear a beep, and large screen appears in front of me.
"Password? Consisting of your name."
A computer voice booms from somewhere.
I jump.
"Umm....uhh.... Kirstin Alima Bayne?"
I stammer, glancing around.
"Memory program, activated."
The robotic voice says.
My dad appears on the screen and I gasp.
But it's just a recording.
"Hey honey. If your watching this, it means I'm no longer with you.
I am so, so, so sorry that I wasn't a better father. I'm so sorry for leaving you in this mess, but I have to go. I love you, bye."
The recording stops, and I start to sob.
I sink to the floor and bury my face in my hand.
How could he lie like this!? I just saw him!
I cry until I feel a hand on my shoulder.
I turn to see a tall-no SUPER tall, woman with a mass of red curls on her head. But what truly is odd about her, is the abundance of metal strapped to her body. A bronze mask covers the right half of her freckled face, from her pointed chin to the top of her forehead, leaving only her left gray-blue eye exposed.
Her right eye is covered by a round eyepiece that is somehow mounted along her eyebrow, and made up of five stacked lenses in various sizes and colors.
She wears a pair of chain-mail pants, and a metal plated shirt.
Small peices of bent metal cover each finger on her hands, and they clink together as she walks.
It's like she's an knight in odd armor.
"Who are you?" I ask, scrubbing the tears from my face with my sleeve.
The woman doesn't answer, but lays a hand on my bad arm, and studies it closely.
"Humans?" She grumbles in a throaty voice, ignoring my question.
She flips through the colored lenses on her right eye, watching me through each one.
"You shall come with me?"
She asks.
I stare at her limply, before slowly standing and following her out a door I didn't see before.
But as I cross the threshold, I stop.
Last time I followed a stranger, things didn't turn out well.
"How do I know your not with that Gisela Lady? Or that Sophie girl? Who are you?"
The red headed lady stops and turns to me.
"How do you know I am with them?"
Gosh, she never gives any answers, does she?
Before I can come up with a response, she walks quickly away.
I have to run to catch up.
She leads me down a chilly corridor and into a round silver room, with a winding iron staircase that reaches to the very top of a tower.
The woman motions for me to go up first and I cautiously start to head up, but as soon as my foot touches the first step, the stairs starts to move.
I gasp.
It's like a conveyer belt of stairs.
And the only sign that I'm moving is the crystal skylight at the top of the tower that keeps getting closer.
I glance back and see the woman has also stepped on.
We reach the top of the stairs in less than ten seconds.
A vast room lies at the top.
Gadgets and gizmos lie everywhere, in piles and scattered about, covering tables and the floor.
The woman leads me over to a table across the room.
She waves for me to sit, then walks over ton another table, and starts to pick peices of metal and bolts and wires.
I yawn as she starts to work, and she jumps and turns back to me.
"Would you eat?" she asks, tipping her head to the side.
"Umm.... Uhhhhh.... Sure?"
I say after a moment.
She nods, and brings me back down the stairs.
She takes me through a few chilly halls, until we reach a large kitchen.
She gives me a large plate of squishy purple vegetables, that look less than appetizing, and tells me, if I want, to eat.
I slowly take one small bite and-
"OH MY GOSH! THIS IS SOOOOOO GOOD! It tastes like the juices cheeseburger EVER!"
I gasp.
The woman smiles.
"If you finish soon, ring that bell and I might come."
The woman says, before returning back down the hall.
I quickly finish eating the food, and as soon as I start to wish for more, I see another bowl of them, on the table across from me.
Hmm, I guess she'd knew I'd want more.
When I finish my fill, I ring the small bell, and after a few minutes, the woman comes back into the kitchen.
She then brings me to a bedroom and tells me to rest. After she leaves again, I stiffly lay down, thinking I won't be able to sleep, but almost do immediately.
My last thought is,
I hope my mother isn't too worried.....
