Emily's Robot

 The ground shook. I looked out the window, and to my horror, I saw…”Mum! There a giant robot outside!” It was true. A robot with the words 28 on it was stomping in the streets and passer bys were running everywhere. “What?” My mum came into the living room carrying a basket of laundry. When she looked out the window, the basket came crashing down and the clothes tipped over. Her face became pale as she whispered under her breath, “Emily’s robot.” I asked her what was Emily’s robot. But she didn’t seem to hear me. She shoved some water and food into her bag and ushered me into the car. I was confused. Suddenly, a big rock came down on us. It wasn’t a rock, a boulder. It hit our car and made a big dent on the roof.

“Run!” My mum grabbed  me and we ran. Dodging rocks and boulders that fell from the sky, we sprinted through the city. Towers were falling, and their was only screams of people that were hurt or captured. Finally, we stopped behind a bush and took deep breaths. “Mum, who is Emily’s robot?” My mum stared at me. “You see, Emily was my childhood best friend. Once, there was a competition of who can build the best robot. I won. But Emily was always arrogant and always got what she wanted. She became angry, and started to spread rumors that I had cheated. I hadn’t. So the next day, I confronted her and at the end of our argument, she said, “I will build it robot. It will be better than yours. It will rule the world.” Of course I didn’t believe her. How would a 6th grader build such a thing? But I guess I was wrong AHHH!” Out of nowhere, a giant boulder fell. A shadow loomed over us. The last thing I saw was my mum’s terrified face before she disappeared in a blink of an eye. I don’t know where she went, and I never will. At that moment I looked up and stared right at Emily’s robot.

My body shook, with mingled anger and sadness. I didn’t know what I was doing. I ran and grabbed onto its leg. Of course, it resisted and started shaking it. But I was determined to get revenge. As it swayed and shook, I jumped onto the head of the robot. I held on and felt a button. Opening it swiftly, I swung myself in. And I saw Emily. I walked quietly towards her, not making a bit of sound. Then I lunged myself at her. I kicked opened the window and threw her out. “I will get revenge!” She screamed as she fell. But I doubt she will. I pushed the red button and immediately the robot stopped moving. All I needed to do was to find my mum. But little did I know...
