CHAPTER ONE
Ugh. I groaned internally as I woke up. My head was pounding, and broken প্রতিমূর্তি were swirling around behind my eyelids. I had no idea where I was, অথবা how I had gotten here. I refused to open my eyes and find out, অথবা give any other sign that consciousness had found its way back to me again. Not knowing exactly where and when I was was a dangerous business for me. Very dangerous.
You see, the last thing I remember before the blackness hit, is that I was running…
My legs were on fire. They burned like nothing I had ever felt before as they pumped against the forest floor. They plunged me deeper and deeper into the thick trees. It kind of reminded me of a scene form Snow White I felt like the trees were reaching out to grab me and hold me there till I was caught. Ha. With my luck they probably were. I pulled in another shallow gasping breath as I turned and ran to the left. I had to get out of here!
The sirens were steadily growing louder. I felt as if they were blasting away in my ears. The world was no longer a নিরাপদ place for people like me; it hadn’t been for a long time now. So I lived a life on the run, rather than be killed.
As I ran, out of nowhere, a sharp pain struck me in the back of the head blinding me. Then the blackness hit pulling me down….
So here I was now, lying pathetically, who knows where? The only things I could do to find out that wouldn’t প্রদর্শনী signs of life were feel and listen. The low melodic hum and cackle of flames was close by. The heat seemed closest to my right side. It felt like I was lying on cold dirt. My arms were bound to my sides with a sticky, plasticy material, most likely duct tape. My legs were strung together in the same manner.
This all seemed very odd. If the no-longer-human, heartless, drones had captured me, I wouldn’t be outside. I knew exactly where I would be if it was them who had me.
I would be strapped to an operating table. Receiving my first “upgrades”. Being turned from someone to something.
The realization that I was outside, brought on a wave of premature hope. Hope that the reason I was outside was that I had been captured দ্বারা people like me. Real people. I tried to smother that hope as quickly as I could. The fact that I was outside didn’t necessarily mean the best. It could just mean humans that the drones kept around as slaves- rather than change them into one of them and have to treat them as an equal- had captured me. After all humans had to sleep, ergo they had to make camp in the process of bringing me in to the life snatchers.
So now, I was faced with a 50/50 chance. My life possibly could have come to and end, where my হৃদয় and feelings ceased to exist, and are replaced দ্বারা something আরো efficient, machinery. On the other hand I could have been captured দ্বারা humans who thought I was the latest and greatest, most human looking addition, to the evil robot family. In which case, I was also dead. On one hand, there was death, on the other, আরো death.
Great!
I chose option C, this involved living. That was the important part. The least likely, but still, being a sunshiny রশ্মি of life and goodness, it was still my favorite! Whose wouldn’t it be? How exactly I was supposed to achieve this though was beyond me.
Suddenly a sound that had escaped me before rudely interrupted my ponderings. The sound of soft breathing landed gently against my ears. I was instantly on edge. The breathing was extremely close. Close enough that I could feel it like feathers on my face. It was a sensation that had me torn between blinding hope and the blackest of despair and fear.
A rough hand was placed on my forehead. I guessed checking for body heat, a feature usually absent in clunking metal machines. The hand of my inspector (lets call him Steve shall we?) pulled away quickly with a soft gasp that was quickly muffled with a slight cough. Obviously the warmth, “Steve’s” hand had felt was not expected. All together, a good sign knowing that any metallic-spawn-of-the-devil’s- servant would have known I was human.
I didn’t realize “Steve” was leaving my side until I heard his breath slowly distancing, his feet didn’t make any kind of sound against the dirt as he left. I decided it was time to look upon my captor(s) and surroundings. I cracked open one of my eyelids with a deliberate slowness that would put snails to shame. My searching eye first revealed to me that it was still dark অথবা at least maybe dark again. It also noted that I was still in the woods. That could be a good thing; a girl like me was not beyond hiding behind অথবা up a tree.
My seeking green orb finally rested upon “Steve” who was in fact a guy. He looked to be about my age, which was either 16 অথবা 17. I had হারিয়ে গেছে count. I quickly closed my eye as his head of shaggy black hair turned in my direction.
I heard a shuffle of clothes, and again the breathing got closer. A sharp pain jolted into my side as it was kicked দ্বারা an unforgiving boot. “Get up! আপনি worthless piece of machinery. I know আপনি aren’t broken. I saw আপনি looking around” a rough furious voice commanded. “I want some answers.”
Oh, Crap! This would not go well. I pinched my face together then slowly, cautiously, opened my right eye to stare up at my captor. A fierce scowl distorted his features into an awful mask of pure loathing. His black eyes held the strangest tint of blue as they bored into mine. I let a sort of grimace/grin ক্রুশ my face as I opened my other eye.
“Hi, Um…about------ OWWW!” I screeched. He had kicked me again. “Would ya stop that? I’m trying to answer আপনি but you’re making it kinda hard with all the kicking and glaring. Geeze!” I huffed.
I watched as he took a step back form me and crossed his arms. His face gave nothing away but I could tell he was surprised দ্বারা how human my words sounded. If he hadn’t at least subconsciously realized I must not be a robo-brain, he wouldn’t have stepped back. He would still take a lot of convincing though.
“Thanks! Like I was about to say though Steve--” he cut me off.
“Who’s Steve?” He snarled.
“Uhh…” oops “Well uh what’s your name?” I asked.
“None of your business.” came his retort.
I let out a long sigh. This was going to take a while. “Well, then for the time being I bestow upon আপনি the name Steve. Use it well my young friend,” I ব্যক্ত holding back a chuckle. He just continued to glare unamused. Tough crowd. “Anyways… Steve, my name,” telling him this was a great leap of faith “is Del.” I snuck another peek at him and still his strange eyes told me nothing.
I shifted my gaze to the nearby fire. “I really hope আপনি know the risk I’m taking telling আপনি that.” I said. “I’m pretty convinced though that আপনি are still human,” I sucked in a deep breath ‘and I really, really need আপনি to believe the truth about me, I still am too!” The words rushed from my mouth, and I braced myself for a kick form the boot that I was surprised to find, did not come.

Remembering is just an invention of the mind,
So আপনি need not try to remember something,
আপনি remember it automatically.
Which is the best thing that আপনি could have.
The good times that we had...
It is placed in a portion of your mind.
The bad times that we had...
It is placed in the other part of your mind.
আপনি try to forget all of the bad things that happened,
But it is not possible.
It is stuck in you.
The bad things are painted in ink on your heart.
The good things, আপনি try to remember.
And they stay.
They never go.
Never leave you.
Remembering is just an invention of the mind.
And, well...I guess I'm happy for that.
So I can remember every friend I've had,
Every boyfriend,
And all the good times.
Every memory will never leave my heart.
They will never be forsaken.
Never.

*Poem I wrote for a class project on the holocaust.
DON'T COPY*
Different in ways they couldn't control
Killed for reasons we do not know
Ranging from ages young to old
The innocent people were taken from homes
Soulless people did not care
That the Jewish were in despair
Concentration camps ending their screams
Breaking apart their families
Not once did they do anything wrong
They opened their mouths and sang a sad song
Years went দ্বারা and আরো pain came
Until on one very special day
As one we all saved
The survivors of the Holocaust

Me and Those
Ever noticed that in this life
Everyone wants আপনি to do something,
অথবা be something
That sometimes আপনি don’t want to be?
They are those!
আপনি know them!
আপনি probably have those in your house.
They are those who expect আপনি to take a path,
Even though,
Sometimes,
আপনি don’t want to take.
They are those who expect আপনি to be great,
Even though,
Sometimes,
আপনি prefer to be small and humble.
But do আপনি think,
For the slightest second,
That they care about that?
They don’t!
They are your parents,
Your grandparents,
Your Uncles and aunts,
That since আপনি were born,
Came up with a path for আপনি in life.
But know this,
And say it to yourself:
They are those, they matter,
But me is I,
And I’m the main character.
Sitting right where আপনি are
আপনি have no claim on me
I know my own path
I am my own guide
আপনি are nothing to me
No matter how আপনি try
What do আপনি care?
If I'm not doing it right
I'm not following you
I know my own path
I am my own guide
আপনি don't know me
No matter how আপনি try
Why are আপনি here?
আপনি know I don't want you
I told আপনি to leave me
I am my own path
I know my own guide
আপনি can't mold me
No matter how আপনি try
Why do I feel compelled to write angsty poetry? I swear I'm not even that angsty. হাঃ হাঃ হাঃ Oh well, I hope someone out there enjoys it.
