Chapter 2: Testing trust
Skylar's POV
Where am I?
I sit up and feel my neck. There was a necklace with a turquoise Rock on the end of it.
Where did that come from?
I shake my head.
Oh well...
I was sitting in the middle of the clearing that I was in before I was attacked.
I sprang to my feet, searching for my attacker.
"Come out and face me! Or are you scared?" I ask to the lurking bushes.
Then, with a screeching of tires, a truck burst through the bushes.
I rush over to it and start jumping.
"Thanks goodness you found me! Someone attacked me and I was almost killed! Please take me back to the high-school!" I beg.
The truck started to chuckle. (An evil chuckle mind you.)
Then it started to move.
No, not like driving moving, it started to turn into a robot thing!
"Ack!" I scream
I tried to run but couldn't.
I looked behind me.
The robot thing had grabbed my leg.
"Lemme go!" I cry.
"Don't worry Earthling. I won't hurt you" Says the robot thing icily calm. "I am Steeljaw. What is your name?"
"Skylar..." I manage to stutter out.
"Well Skylar. Tell me more about this attacker of yours..."
My mind was reeling.
Should I trust this thing?
"Well.... I'm not entirely sure. He knocked me out before I could do or see anything." I reply.
Steeljaw taps his chin.
"Skylar. You must come with me. I know a safe place where we can hide."
I nod.
"Okay. Deal. But I can leave at anytime without any trouble. Deal?" I ask.
"Deal." Replies Steeljaw, sealing the deal.
He turns back into a truck and I climb in.
He starts his engine.
"Wait!" I cry "My backpack!"
I unbuckle and race over to where my backpack was lying.
I climb back in and we sped off.
