Alice's POV:
''You want a drink?'' I asked, Sarah just raised her half empty cup of water up, showing me she wasn't finished. ''Nevermind.'' I sighed, curling my blond locks behind my back. While Sarah just looked down terrified at her drink. Before I gently brought her in for a small hug. ''Hey, everything's going to be okay, you hear?'' I whispered softly, still cradling her like a mother would to her child.
Sarah sighed softly, as she squeezed me tightly to her. As the music around us buzzed on. It sounded like 'Third degree by Tahnee Caine and Tryanglz was playing. I could tell Sarah hated it as she made that face she always did when she hates something. I lightly chuckled causing her to give me a small smile in return. Before she froze.
I frowned. ''Sarah?'' I whispered, placing my hand on her's as she shook in fear.
''H-He's looking at me...'' She said and I looked up to see a man staring at her. My eyes immediately darkened and I went to stand up, glaring at him as Sarah immediately pulled me back down. ''Are you insane!? He's a killer-''
''I don't give a shit..'' I growled back, still tense. ''What's he gonna do in a public place, and with a off duty police officer?'' I explained.
''Just sit down.'' Sarah said, pulling me back down and I continued to glare at him. He looked at me and looked away, completely uncomfortable, Serves the little bastard right. Suddenly before I could react he quickly pulled out a gun and I gasped, quickly pushing Sarah over.
''Get down!'' I yelled and watched as a single bullet hit a man in the arm. And as soon as I saw him, I felt like I've met him before, but nothing came to me. He was rather tall and I had to admit good looking with muscles visible underneath all his clothing, as well as chiselled features on his face. But his gaze was blank, and to my confusion angry, but his eyes were almost dead like...he wasn't even alive.
Suddenly he as well pulled out a gun and began firing. I instantly pushed Sarah back down, as she tried to get up. My body covering hers as she cried in panic and fear at what the hell was going on. I tried to reach for my own gun so I could stop all this shit before it got worse. But Sarah pulled me back down as more gun's were fired. We crawled away quickly, the man who I had been glaring at ducked behind something. As me and Sarah crawled away.
''Son of a bitch!'' I yelled in pain, as a heavy foot was pressed down on my ankle. Before I could run away, I felt a strong arm pull me towards them, before they turned my body to face them. It was the large man, who's brown eyes suddenly began to lighten up as soon as he saw me. ''A-Alice?'' He whispered, so he did know me. But...how?
''Let her go! Alice!'' Sarah yelled in panic, but the man ignored her and continued to stare at me.
''W-Who are you?'' I growled angrily trying to get from his strong grip. But He didn't let me go. ''Let me go, you fucker!'' I yelled, making him look at me with almost a hurt expression. Suddenly he turned me around, so my back was to his chest. Just as the other man appeared and shot at the guy holding me to his chest, protectively. And I couldn't help but let my jaw drop open in shock. He wasn't reacting to the shots at all..it was like nothing was happening to him. He just continued to say my name over and over again.
Suddenly Sarah grabbed at him and he dropped me to the ground, me groaning as he stared down at me and Sarah. Before he was quickly shoved out the window and I looked at him with wide eyes as the man who had been staring at me and Sarah, grabbed Sarah's arm kneeling between us. ''Come with me if you want to live.'' He growled.
Sarah gave him a look. ''What are you talking about he won't be-''
I froze as I saw the man began to move slowly. ''You might want to rethink that, Sarah.'' I whispered still in shock. As I watched in horror as the man slowly got to his feet, glaring at the man who grabbed me. Until his brown eyes fixated on me, his head tilting to the side as he looked at me. Before he slowly approached us once more. ''Oh, my god.'' I whispered.
Before we all scrambled up to our feet, before I took Sarah from him and pulled her towards the back exit. Just as the man behind us began to run after us. While I tried to keep up, doing my best to protect my best friend. A small fire had broken out in the pub and I turned to see the man hurling chairs out of his way, reaching out his chained arm out to me, as if he was trying to reach me. But I ran after Sarah and the other man who was helping us.
''Alice...wait!'' The other man yelled behind me, but I ignored him and continued to run for my life, all awhile trying to reach for my gun in it's hiding place on my belt. Turning my head, I slightly jumped as I heard the back door burst open the chain snapping right off.
''There is no fucking way that thing is human!'' I screamed, grabbing the man who had Sarah's attention, who was trying to load another bullet into his shotgun.
''Who are?'' He asked, raising a brow, as Sarah ignored us and continued to run.
''Alice. I don't know my last name.'' I replied back, and I could have sworn there was recognition in the man's eyes as he stared at me. Before he shook his head. ''And why in the hell is he looking at me!? And how did he know my name?'' I yelled, and the man shrugged back. Finally getting the second round in his gun.
''I don't know! If I did I would let you know!'' He shouted back. Just as Sarah quickly grabbed my arm, trying to pull me along. Before I turned once more to see the man still chasing us faster and faster. I took a deep breath trying to stay calm. Before I finally managed to grab my gun and aim it at the man, who to my surprise looked hurt and shocked, as to why I was doing it. But I didn't hesitate and fired a single round, hitting him in the chest, which made a metal pinging noise as it hit him.
''Run to the car!'' The man who was right beside me yelled, pushing me into Sarah. Before he fired another round this time catching the other car before us on fire and hopefully stopping the other man who meant harm to Sarah. ''Get in hurry!'' He yelled, quickly getting in the driver's seat, while I took the front seat, and Sarah took the back.
Before the man gunned down on the gas and drove us far away from the other man as possible. But his voice and features were still in my mind. How the hell did he know my name? And why was he only reaching for me, if he wanted Sarah? I was snapped out of my thought's as the man began to explain the situation.
''I'm here to help you, Reese.'' The man known as Reese said, before he continued to drive until he was in a parking lot. '' The name's Kyle Reese. I'm a sergeant/ Tech-com DN38416. Sarah's been targeted for termination.'' He announced, making my blood run cold. Termination? Like kill?
''W-what do you mean?'' I asked, and Kyle looked at me for a moment as Sarah shook her head, tearing up. Panic and horror laced on her delicate features. ''Wait a moment...how can that man-''
Kyle interrupted me. ''I told you he's not a man. He's a machine...'' He yelled, and that's when my dreams came back to me of us fighting against machines. Was my dream related to my past? Or was it my future? I was broken out of my thoughts as Sarah whimpered.
''A machine? Like a robot?'' She asked, and Kyle shook his head.
''Not a robot. Cyborg, Cybernetic organism.'' He explained simply, as we hid in the parking lot. Hopefully the other man no machine according to Kyle wouldn't find us. But what if he was a big key to my past or future?
''But he was bleeding...'' Sarah paused.
''Not by much, Sarah.'' I said and Kyle nodded before turning off the car. Before everything was silent. Before Kyle started to explain some more as we listened.
''Look, these Terminator's are inflitration units. Part man part machine .'' he explained quickly, as Sarah just stared at him like he was crazy. ''Underneath, it's a hyperalloy combat chassis, microprocessor- controlled. And fully armored, very tough..but outside it's living human tissue . Flesh, skin, hair, blood...grown for the cyborgs.''
''Look Reese I know you want to-'' I tried to say but he glared at me.
''Pay attention.'' He snapped, making me frown as he continued to ramble. ''The 600 series had rubber skin, we spotted them easily. But these ones are new They look human. Sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait till he moved on you two before I could zero him.'' Kyle tried to explain as fast and quietly as he could, knowing that the Terminator was onto us.
''Look, we're not stupid.'' Sarah suddenly growled, giving me a look. ''They cannot make things like that yet.''
Kyle sighed shaking his head, before sharing us a look. ''No, not for another forty years...'' He trailed off, my heart sunk deeper. I was fucking terrified but unlike Sarah I always tried not to show my fear. It would let your enemies know about your fear.
''So, you are saying it's from the fucking future!-'' I exclaimed, Sarah and Kyle glared at me.
''Keep your voice down, the terminator could be out there listening to us...'' Kyle stated, and I rolled my eyes in annoyance, but continued to listen to his little pick me up speech. ''One possible future... from your two's point of view. I don't know this tech stuff.'' He explained, running his finger's through his short blonde hair. While Sarah just gave him a look of disbelief.
''Then you're from the future, too? Right?'' Sarah asked, and I noticed her hand was on the door handle ready to pry it open. Just as she glanced my way as if saying, get ready to run.
Kyle nodded for the final say. ''Right...'' Instantly Sarah told me bolt it along with her, but I just stayed where I was. As Kyle grabbed her arm and locking the car so she wouldn't get away. Was I really believing this guy's story? What he said did make sense of why there were killer machines in my fucking dreams. Which I couldn't wait to get rid of. I heard Kyle hiss pain as Sarah bit his arm. ''Cyborgs don't feel pain. I do. Don't do that again.'' He growled.
''Look, just let us go-'' Sarah tried to say, and I felt my heart go out to her. It's not everyday you're being hunted by something called a Terminator.
''Listen and understand. That Terminator is out there.'' Kyle started to try to reason with Sarah as tried to run once more. ''It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. I don't know about your friend though,'' He said giving a glance my way. ''But he will kill you...''
Shakily I finally spoke. ''C-can you kill it? Is there even a way too?'' I asked, and Kyle sighed shaking his head.
''I don't know...'' He paused. ''With these weapons, I don't know...'' He said truthfully, and I groaned. So, not even a forty-five would get the job done...great. I then heard Sarah speak, with a little shake to it.
''Reese, why me? Why does it want me?'' She asked, before glancing my way. ''And if it is only here to kill me...why is it after, Alice?'' She asked, and Kyle shrugged at that.
''About your friend, I don't know.'' He replied. And I just rolled my eyes, before looking out the window, still clutching my gun in my lap. Even though it probably wouldn't stand a chance between metal which I found out when I shot it's chest. I knew deep down we were all screwed. But the one thing that kept running through my head, was why did it want me as well? And how did it know my name?
As Kyle began to tell us about the future. I looked out the window once more. As I could hear Kyle try to start the car, and my eyes grew wide with fear, I gulped and grabbing onto Kyle's shoulder. He looked at me as did Sarah. ''What?'' He replied back.
''GO! Dammit!'' I exclaimed, and he turned to see the Terminator pointing his gun at us. Kyle instantly put his foot on the gas pedal and floored it. I yelped in fear, as the back window beside me shattered, quickly ducking and covering my eyes as the glass hit my leather jacket.
''Get down!'' Kyle cried out and Sarah and I did so just as the other back window was shattered inwards. I slowly peeked over the shattered window and the Terminator slowly moved his head towards me, his deep chocolate brown eyes, locking with mine. Which for some reason made me shiver. I felt my breath catch slightly; almost like my breath was taken from me before I immediately ducked once more, placing a shaking hand on my chest, before glancing at my gun. I knew I should use it...but Reese was right, I would just end up getting killed.
We headed into the main street and I heard a screech of sirens...Oh guys not no, I thought desperately not wanting them hurt or in the middle of Reese's and the Terminator's gun fire. I heard Reese load his gun once more, as he glanced Sarah's way and got up from the seat and out the window. ''Drive!'' He exclaimed, and Sarah immediately tried to drive us her knuckles turned white at how tight she gripped it.
''Reese!'' She suddenly exclaimed, and my eyes widened as I saw we were steering right into a wall. And I gripped onto the back seat behind Sarah in fear. I could see the Terminator turning his head and looking at me once more as Reese above the car frowned. Before he used his foot that wasn't on the gas to kick me down gently. And I could have sworn the Terminator's eyes darkened.
Suddenly I could hear and fell to the car's floor as Kyle hit the brakes. But not before taking another shot. And I noticed we were all surrounded by the cops. Including Jensen and Hal who were pointing their guns at Reese.
I let out one last shaky breath before getting out of the shot up car. I couldn't sit in there anymore, I didn't want anything to do with all this shit. I heard Kyle instantly yell out to me. ''A-Alice, wait!'' He exclaimed, and I felt him going to grab me but I ducked out of the car just in time. And instantly saw the creepy silhouette of the Terminator turn to look at me. My blood quickly ran cold as his eyes locked with mine once more before he walked off.
''Alice?'' I could hear Jensen say in concern, snapping me out of my gaze towards the machine, as he gently grabbed my arm. ''What are you doing here?'' He asked once more, turning me to face him. Before he shook his head taking a breath, before he pushed me into Hal's arms. Where I instantly let everything out and cried into his shoulder. Not noticing Jensen putting Kyle in a pair of handcuff's while Charlie who should have had the night off, grabbed Sarah protectively and walked her towards us while Kyle I noticed was pushed into the back of Jensen's police car.
''It's alright, Alice.'' Hal shushed my cries, while Sarah tried to comfort me as Charlie let her go to me. ''He won't hurt you or Sarah anymore...'' He said, hugging me close. But I knew that this fight was far from over...
Alice's POV...
''Here, drink this it should help..'' Traxler said handing me and Sarah a single glass of hot coffee. As I held onto Sarah now trying to make her comfortable. And I continued to stare into space not even taking a sip, still shaken up.
''A-are you sure it's them?'' Sarah asked, and Traxler gave us a look of pity. ''Maybe we-''
''No. They've been identified and there's no doubt. '' Traxler replied, and I instantly felt tears start to rise. As Sarah instantly sobbed, Oh ginger, I thought. That son of bitch was going to hell, when I got through with him.
''Poor kid...'' I trailed off, not wanting to make Sarah even sadder.
I took a small sip of my coffee. Even though I could feel a fresh batch of tears trying to leak out. I was never the one to cry in front of people, well that was until tonight as I remembered sobbing into Hal's arms. But Sarah on the hand was never afraid to cry her heart out. Suddenly a man dressed in a suit, came in holding what appeared to be a clipboard. As If he was here to ask us what Kyle had said.
''Alice, Sarah, this is Dr. Silberman.'' Traxler said, finally noticing him enter the room. ''And I would like for you as well as Sarah to tell us everything Kyle said, okay?'' He asked, and I nodded. But my eyes turned dark and serious at man.
''Y-your a doctor?'' I raised a brow, and he nodded with a slight smile.
''I'm a criminal psychologist actually.'' Silberman replied, showing his clipboard to us. Which had a police report that Jensen had made for us.
''Is Reese crazy?'' Sarah asked. And Silberman sighed, before turning on the small screen.
''That. Is what we're going to find out.'' He replied, before playing the video.
''This is fucking great...'' Someone said and I frowned, looking at James who was smirking at the screen. Before I looked back to watch Kyle on the screen, as Sarah huddled in closer to me.
''Then I was assigned.'' Kyle started to explain, to Dr. Silberman. ''For the last two years, under John Connor.''
''And who was the enemy?'' Silberman asked once more, and Kyle glared at him, still hand-cuffed with his arms behind his back.
''SKYNET. A computer defense system built for SAC-NORAD by Cyberdyne Systems.'' Kyle exclaimed, and Silberman sighed clicking his pen as he wrote some more. ''A modified series 4800.
Silberman nodded. '' I see. And this computer thinks it can win by killing the mother of its enemy. Killing him, in effect, before he's even conceived. A sort of retroactive abortion?'' He asked, and I narrowed my eyes.
''Silberman cracks me up. Last week, had this in here last week burned his Afghan. Screwed it first then set off-''
''James!'' I exclaimed, and he looked at me almost in fear. ''Shut the fuck up now. Before I have Traxler put you in that room.'' I hissed, and by the look Traxler was giving him he wasn't impressed at all. I just rolled my eyes and continued to watch just as Kyle started to go crazy.
''Look, you have heard enough.'' Kyle growled, his eyes dark and intent on Silberman. ''I have answered your questions. I have to see Sarah and Alice before it get's here.''
Siberman on the screen shook his head. ''I'm afraid that's not up to me.'' He tried to reason, but Kyle just growled once more, this time pushing his chair back, making Silberman and Sarah who was in the room jump a little.
''Then why am I talking to you? Hu?'' Kyle snapped, getting in his face, just as Jensen and Charlie grabbed him. ''Who is in authority here?''
Silberman sighed once more. ''Please-''
''Shut up! You still don't get it, do you? '' Kyle snapped once more, trying to free himself from Charlie and Jensen. ''He'll find her and Alice. That's what he does. That's all he does. You can't stop him. He'll reach down their throats and pull their fucking hearts out!'' He was cut off by the screen going black as Silberman took out the tape. As my eyes pierced right through the small screen. Still sipping my coffee.
''I'm sorry about that...'' Silberman said, turning his apologetic gaze to Sarah who whimpered.
''So, is Reese crazy?'' She asked. And I rolled my eyes of course he wasn't. At least not to me.
''He's a loon.'' Silberman replied, before grabbing the tape and heading towards the door. ''Oh, and Alice, watch out for her.'' He smiled, before walking out the door. Just as Traxler handed us both bullet proof vests.
''Help Sarah put this on, it should protect you both.'' Traxler smiled, as I instantly went to Sarah who was sitting on a small sofa. And placed it on her. I was about to ask If I could help. But Traxler must have caught my look because he shook his head. ''I don't think so, Sweetheart. Not with this killer running around after you and Sarah. Stay here and guard her, you hear?'' He asked, and I nodded. Before he and the rest left the room.
''I can't sleep, Alice.'' Sarah said quietly, and I went over and hugged her to me and sighed.
''Go, ahead.'' I replied softly, stroking her hair. ''We're safe, hopefully all thirty of them will take that son of a bitch down.'' I smiled. And Sarah smiled back, but frowned once more before I leaned back in the sofa, still holding her in my arms. As we fell asleep. I just hoped the Terminator didn't find us.
Alice's POV...
Suddenly a large explosion which echoed around the building. Had me and Sarah both wake up instantly. Traxler suddenly walked in and gave us a look, as he handed me my gun back, which I instantly took, before he began walking out the door once more. ''Stay here, keep her safe.'' He said mostly to me. And I nodded, as Sarah began breathing fast.
I slowly walked towards the door. To keep and eye out, and Sarah hissed at me. ''What are you doing?!'' She exclaimed, and I ignored her, as I looked out the window of the door, just in time to see the Terminator walk down the corridor and blow away some people. Charlie was one of them. That son of a bitch. I growled, and for a moment I thought my vision went red. But I shook it off.
''How did he find us already...'' I whispered to myself. And I quickly felt Sarah grab me and pull me away from the door. ''What?'' I asked, still gripping tightly onto my gun.
''We need to hide now!'' She snapped, before pulling me behind the table in the room. We both crouched, my eyes wide as I suddenly heard the door knob rattle violently and then it quickly swung open. As we heard something like glass break. We quickly hid once more behind the table, until a very familiar voice called out to us.
''Sarah? Alice!'' Kyle asked for us. And I let out a big sigh of relief. Before grabbing Sarah, and coming out of hiding, to see Kyle waiting for us.
''Reese!'' Sarah cried, rushing into his arms, as I stayed behind them, until Kyle grabbed me and pulled me along. Before we all headed out the door and into the smoke which the Terminator had obviously started.
''A-alice...''I turned as well as Kyle and Sarah. And I felt a sob leave my throat as I saw Traxler on the floor bleeding out, and Hal on the floor dead. Traxler looked at me and smiled softly, before handing me his gun. ''You have to keep those two alive you hear me...'' He said weakly, and I nodded sadly. Before placing a last simple kiss to his cheek. He was the only father figure to me. He was always there for me, even if I screwed up. And now...he was dying before my eyes.
''I will, I promise you.'' I watched sobbing as the light in his eyes faded, Before Kyle instantly closed them paying respect before he grabbed me and Sarah once more.
''I'm sorry about-'' Kyle tried to say but I cut him off. As tears leaked down my face.
''Just go!'' I exclaimed, pushing them along. Suddenly a large fire split us apart and I gasped. As Kyle held Sarah back from going through the fire to get to me. ''I'll go the other way around, and meet you two-''
''But Alice!'' Sarah cried, trying to reach me, only for Kyle to hold her back.
I shook my head at her. ''Please, Sarah go with Kyle. It's not really after me I hope.'' I said, which just made Sarah look at me in fear for my life. ''Just go, I'll be right behind you.'' I smiled. And Reese nodded as I looked his way. While Sarah shook her head in disbelief. ''You keep her safe, or I will be the one to kill you myself.'' I Warned, and he nodded a little in fear before running away with Sarah.
And I quickly turned on my heel, running towards the other exit. I pushed against it with all the force in me. But the smoke was getting to me, my eyes watered as it reached them. And I began to violently cough, as I pushed some more, but it wouldn't budge. ''Come on!'' I yelled. Just as I heard footsteps behind me. I began to feel faint as I began to gasp for air , slowly sliding down the door and onto the cold floor. My head spinning as a large figure came out of the darkness...the Terminator.
I looked up at him with weak eyes, still gasping before I slowly let myself slip into darkness.
