Maddy saw me crying and running like a crazy girl. “What happened again?” she asked with sympathy, but I ignored her and ran straight into our professor. If Chris can’t answer it, then Alaric should tell me whether or not he wanted to tell. I am pissed off by Chris. He is an unpredictable man and I don’t know why I can’t ignore him. I want to know about him. I ignored me three times since I met him.
I grabbed the professor’s shirt collar without being feared of him and without thinking of any consequences. “What the hell you did to Chris. Why did you hurt him? “ I shouted in front of everyone.
“It’s not a place to talk about this and why are you even caring about him?” he spoke silently, which only be heard by me with an uncomfortable look.
“No, I need the answers. I saw him. He looked different. I..I mean he is not injured, but I saw something different about him. It’s like some robotic parts in his hands,” I
“From the outer space,” he added.“What? you got to be kidding me. I came here for the truth, not to hear something crazy,” I laughed off. I believe in cyborgs and outer space, but I can’t go around everywhere and trust whatever anyone tells.“I am telling the truth and I trusted you, only you,” he shouted and everyone turned to our side. I think he’s serious. I got nervous. “Okay Chris, calm down. I am sorry. I think you need to explain more,” I talked silently.“I said the truth. That’s all.”“That’s all. That’s all you are hiding. Then what’s your connection between professors. Why do you have a fight? Why he dies?”“I have nothing to do with his death. He knows I am not from here and he sees me suspiciously because I already told him I have a mission to finish and it is…” I stopped him.“Confidential. You can’t share. I know that. So, you met up with an accident and become a cy
I attended the call “Stella, I need you at our lab. Nothing serious but need some help.”I hesitated for a minute. “Yeah, sure coming” I cut the call, and he is standing next to me.“who’s that?” Chris asked.“That’s my friend. I should go now,” I said without looking back.“Mind if I join you”“Why... I mean okay”“Thanks, and other things never talk about me to anyone.” he sounded serious but not threatening.He locked the room, and we reached her house after some minutes. I told the guards that he’s my friend and they let him go inside.“What’s going on, Maddy?”She looked annoyed. “Why you got him here?”“He said, he want to accompany. Is that a problem?”“No but I don’t think I can trust him” she was talking, but he went inside without an invitation. Bella was struggling with some work and he walked towards her.
I opened my eyes and saw Maddy going somewhere out.“Hey, where are you leaving”“I am...” she stammered and stood still. I got up from my bed, confused.“Are you angry that I got Chris here or kissed him? And are you keeping secrets because of who he is. Did you lose your trust in me?” I suddenly spoke about all this.“I didn’t know you kissed him and well, I was about to go to LAPD without your help because you don’t care about that. You should have come yesterday, but you went to see Chris so...” she trailed off.“Yeah, I understand. You go on your own. Fine. Good.”Hey. don’t be mad at me. I thought you were not interested in solving this?” She spoke calmly.“Who said, I am not? I really want to know about that. I am so confused right now” She said nothing and hugged me. “I understand you. trust me. I won’t try to leave you again.”“And also, I don’t see
We walked holding hands together and reached the crumbled looking house and got inside a splendid room.“So, you want to change your clothes?” he took one of his shirts and gave it to me. I hesitated and went inside the bathroom. I am embarrassed about walking out of the room in his shirt, which is above my knees. I stepped out, and he tried not to see me. I sat next to him in bed.“I was just thinking maybe we can take a break like going to a theme park or something tomorrow.”“Really, I never thought you would ask something like that. I’d love to,” he grinned. “I never enjoyed it and I want it to be with you.”“Why me?” these words escaped my mouth.“I don’t know. You make me feel something. I never helped anyone or tried to be nice to others. That’s not who I am. But now I am acting differently when it comes to you.”“Then who you have been before? If not a good person…”
We celebrated like a festival and I have never been this happy. we smiled, laughed, and finally reached the destination. We got out of the car and got the best view. Everyone’s happy around us and more rides to enjoy. I hold on to Chris’s hands and we two walked in front of my other friends.“So, everyone’s going to separate, right?” Bella asked excitedly.“Separate, why separate?”“As a pair or couple,” Scarlet added. "That's good, I take it as a couple," I replied. Me, Chris, in one way, Maddy, Alex in another way.The day went so exhausting and fabulous." I want to go to Ferris wheel now," I asked Chris.“At first we should eat now”“Really, can you eat?” I asked cause he’s a cyborg.“I can, you already saw me eating,” he left me in the crowd and kept waiting. Suddenly someone bumped me in the crowd. I fell a minute, opened my eyes the next moment to see professor Al
“I can’t take you there in this state,” Chris said, not convincing.“Then, I will drive by myself” I yelled and got up with pain in my legs. "Fine, don’t be stupid. I will take you there. Guys, get in the car," he said to me and others. Iam glad he’s convinced. I do know what I have to do.We drove to the grave, and I tried to manage until we reached it. I stumbled to get out of the car. Chris caught me." Thanks." I started walking up to Alaric’s grave. Alaric doesn’t have a family, so we are the only ones who want to know what happened to him. I still wonder why am I searching for who murdered him. I started digging with my own hands because I can’t wait any longer.“Stella, you got to be kidding me. You cannot dig with your hands,” Chris said and everyone joined to dig it. Finally, we reached the coffin. Shivers ran down my spine when I was about to open it.“I can’t do it,” I said, getting my hands awa
“Bloody hell, I’m going to die in a spaceship,” I murmured, closing my eyes, thinking I could go back to the way my life has been. My past is no good to think but neither is this situation. I sat down next to Chris and felt so dizzy. "Are you okay?" Chris placed his hands on my shoulder." I don’t think so. It’s getting hard to breathe".“I don’t think we are going to end up like this. Sorry for fighting with you today. I mean it.” he sounded sad.“I’m sorry too, but it doesn’t matter. Soon I’m going to die without air.”“Don’t talk like that. I have the courage and I can’t lose you.” he hugged me and there’s a sudden collision on the spaceship. Each one of us tried hard not to lose balance. "What's happening? ".“We are going to be saved” Alex sounded happy. He added can see the surface of the earth. we are back. I don’t know-hows that happened, but it did." I rushed to him and I
Maddy grabbed my hand. “Stella, who is she? Where are we? She looks just like me. Then who am I?" there’s a lot of fear in her voice.“Stay calm, Maddy. I think we should escape from this place. It’s not ours to stay,”There’s a noise behind us. The door opened a girl came, “Maddy, what are you doing here? Who are you talking to?" She sounded calm. She took some steps forward and her face is clear to me. It’s me...She has blonde hair till her neck, seems so pretty than me, but she looks at me. Her facial expression changed from calm to anger.“Who the hell are you?” she demanded. I am stuck in the same place. A boy came behind her, stood in front of her like protection. It’s Adam. He whispered something back to her. Now everyone is staring at us.“If we stay one more minute here, they will kill us,” Alex says and made a first move to run. He made it to the entrance gate. We followed him
“Stella, Iam sorry for putting you in this situation in the first place”“That’s okay. As I said, you are worth the risk. But still, we can’t succeed,” she cried.“Please don’t cry. I really should leave now. I only got 20 minutes to go back”“I know that. Goodbye Chris. I love you. You are everything to me. My love for you will always stay the same even when you are not with me.” she squeezed my hands and cried after a long time.“Even though we tried hard, I can’t believe it ended up like this. I love you, Stella, forever. This won’t be the end. I will not give up,” I kissed her softly for one time.“This short time feels long, Chris,” she smiled and cried at the same time. Then she kissed me harder.“Chris, it’s getting late,” Malcolm entered the room.“Go,” she said, trying to control her tears, which is not stopping.“Goodbye, Stella,” I said, not
“Time is running so you should go without me. I will tackle her,” Chris ordered.“Seriously, what’s she’s talking about?” I raised my voice at him.“I said you should go. I clearly don’t know about her motive till now,”“Whatever,” I said and followed Malcolm to them. “Stop them,” Stefanie commanded. The androids chased us through the hallway. We both are running into the long hallway continuously.Chris POV:“I don’t have much time. So, make it quick. What do you want? Why are you keep on targeting me and her?” Did I wait for her true answers?“I already said it. I want you. I knew you for more than two hundred years. I know your character, behaviour, everything. Instantly, when you left cryptop, you changed yourself for a silly girl. That’s not acceptable. I hate it. I want you to be the old Chris who spent time with me. I thought I will be with you forever. But now you are even
“If she didn’t wake up Iam going to kill you all.” Chris’s voice rang in my ears. The Pain in my body doesn’t hurt me as it did before. Slowly, I started to remember everything.“She’s up,” Malcolm says, watching me.“Stella, how are you feeling?” Chris held my hands and sat next to me in the hospital bed. I don’t expect there will be hospitals in this world.“Iam feeling better,”“Cool, now can we ask about her opinion,” the president’s wife started. I am not aware of her presence.“About what?” I panicked,“I told you everything. You can’t disturb her, Annabeth,” Chris snapped at her.“Do I have to give you a reminder to give me respect?”“I can’t give it unless you stop this,”“Everything is well-perfectly planned. I can’t change it for your stupid love. Especially you can’t love a human. That never happened before. I restrict it.”
Stella POV:They got to be kidding me. How will I go back to earth? Not another problem again. If I get a chance to go back but Chris can’t come with me. I will never see him again. He’s the best thing that happened to me. I can’t lose it.“Welcome back to cryptop, Chris,” a woman's voice boomed near my ear.“Stephanie,” Chris breathed.“Iam so glad that you never going back to earth again,” she smiled at him.“It’s not the right time, go away Steph," he calmly said and ignored her.“Why are acting childishly? Send away this girl within this weak and we can spend our time as we did before. Shooting, killing and.."“Stop it. Go away before I make you leave,” he shouted his time.“Try me,” she smiled and got near me. She lifted my chin up. “I don’t know what’s special about you. You are just a pathetic girl hides behind Chris.” I want to slap her talking
Chris POV:Everything is a perfect one, more than perfect. Tomorrow she will be coming with me to cryptop. Malcolm is back. Hereafter I will find a way to be with Stella forever. I will go against the whole universe to be with her. She’s special to me. I can’t live my life after living for many centuries without a purpose. My only thought is to torture, torment someone’s life. Now I can only feel the pain of separating them from their family. Whenever Stella is away from me or she’s in the problem, I can’t able to bear it. Iam so vulnerable when it comes to her. Usually, I have never been a weak person. I can kill anyone if they tried to kill me. When Stella aims her gun at me, I didn’t try anything. It’s like I accepted to die in her hands if that’s her wish. But it isn’t. She loves me truly. If it isn’t for her, I couldn’t have made it here alive.“Hey, I told her. She doesn’t seem convincing, but this is my decision and Iam t
“Stella, it’s time for me to go home and I got to deal with my house. I don’t even know its condition. Many may have died,” Maddy remembered me.“Okay. That’s crucial. Actually, I was thinking I could stay here tonight." I started.“If you say so, I and Alex are leaving now,” she uttered and walked outside the door. I waved at her and looked at Chris and Malcolm.“Or you two going to leave?” I asked, hoping they would say no.“Yes, we should go,” Malcolm responded immediately.“Maybe I will call Stephanie,” Chris called her and a holograph appeared within minutes.“Malcolm,” she stammered in shock.“Iam back, Steph,” he smiled.“I can’t believe it. You did it, Chris. You two should come back soon. I’m going to tell this to the president,” She got excited, and she ended the call in a hurry.Now I’m feeling so miserable than before. He’s going to b
We dashed through the steps of the staircase to the spaceship. We are going inside where we fixed the bomb. It’s like trapping ourselves to death.“Chris.” I shouted. This place is breath-taking, but it’s soon going to burst. A shiver ran down my spine thinking about it.“Stella, move,” Malcolm yelled and pushed me. I hit the metal floor. I got hit strongly in my jaw. The pain vibrated all over my face. I glanced to see a damaged android fallen from above.“You would have killed her,” a voice echoed from above. A staircase inside the spaceship. “It’s not on purpose,” Alaric said, looking pitifully at me.“Stella. We only have 10 minutes,” Malcolm got panicked.“Yes, we should get both of them down,” I suggested.“Alaric, I don’t want to fight with you. Iam going to compromise with you. Iam on your side,” I lied in front of Chris and Malcolm.“What unexpected shock
We five made out through the trees to Stella’s house.“Here’s our plan, enter her house and kidnap her. Do you understand?” Maddy is the one who can plan everything perfectly but now she wants to kidnap Stella. It’s the last thing I can think of.Stella POV:Here I am, talking and laughing with my sisters even though Iam the adopted one. Everything seems better now. I forgot my past but Iam trying to have a good life here with a whole big family. I finished dinner and went inside my room in a peaceful mind. My mind is empty without memories but Iam feeling stress-free. That’s the only benefit I have.I locked my room and my mind went on to that weird boy who is telling me I love him and he instantly shape-shifted to some mechanical thing. He’s a weirdo.“Ouch, watch your step,” I heard some voices outside. The voices getting near to me and closer. Immediately, my window burst open, with two pe
Chris POV:“You two are very unlucky. You tried so hard to beat me but got in my hands,” Alaric's laughter echoed throughout the prison.“I will never give up. Iam going to kill you in a most sufferable way for the hell you put me in,” I talked weakly. Iam staying in this dump prison for weeks.“It will happen in your dreams. Only in dreams." He closed the cell and left us alone.“Iam sorry Malcolm. I can’t able to save you,”“That’s okay, you tried hard for me. But Iam practised being his slave all these years. I had a bad century in my life,” he said miserably.I want to see Stella. Malcolm and I are cyborgs. We remember everything but to others, they will be pacing in this town without any memories. I finally got reunited with Stella. Now she won’t even remember me. I can’t even think of her seeing me as a stranger. It hurts a lot more than being in this cell. I want her s
