This story is about three races... Humans, robots, and a mix of the two. Our protagonists are all of those races... And the humans and robots hate the hybrid's guts. Can the hybrid fight against prejudice and make it out alive?

**Disclaimer: I have nothing against Asians. Androids are hated so that's why Terrian was beat up so much. I also wanted diversity.**

## Preface- All main OCs

### Terrian's view

14-year-old Terrian Hovrr walked around in the school, miserable. A gold robot named Golden Rod pushed the Asian-silver android to the ground and punched him to the ground. Several humans laughed at the cruelty to the innocent hybrid. He said in a robotic-Asian voice, "Stop! Why are you doing this??" Golden Rod grinned evilly and read off the Internet,

"**Android neighborhood threatened, some civilians killed in shooting. 14 dead, 23 wounded."**

A Chinese human held Terrian's wrists to the ground as an Italian student did the same with his ankles. "You and your kind deserve this," said the Italian. Golden Rod laughed, walking away. Terrian struggled against their grip, terrified of what might happen. A Vietnamese female ran toward the scene. She laughed at him as Terrian cried. The principal, a bronze robot, casually walked past the struggling student. Terrian pleaded for help, but sadly, he did not get help. Another android was bullied, a French-diamond, by getting *knocked into the lockers*! She grimaced in pain but was left on the floor. She weakly crawled over to Terrian and knocked out the humans holding him captive. She knew their plans were not good. Unfortunately, she was expelled for protecting a student from a potentially-violent situation.

### Golden Rod's view

He continued to walk away, also laughing. He called his mom and said, "I beat up that Asian-silver, Terrian, is it?"

"Yep."

"Yay, I was right."

"How bad?"

"Pretty badly."

"Great!"

"Would you like me to knock him out?"

"That'd be wonderful."

"Bye, Mother."

"Bye honey."

He ran toward the sad student and punched Terrian several times. A platinum teacher watched as he was brutally bullied. What did the trick was being slammed against the locker and kicked. Terrian slumped to the ground, unconscious, dented, and bruised. The school nurse, a Chinese human, came by Terrian's helpless form. She watched Golden Rod laugh at Terrian's condition in sadness. She had a stretcher rolled over to her, picked up the Asian-silver with difficulty, and put the innocent student on the light blue transportable bed. As she passed hundreds of students, scared for Terrian's safety, a Vietnamese boy kicked the stretcher, laughing. His sister also laughed. The nurse's son, who did not share the woman's caringness, whispered, "That Asian-silver deserves to die." She glared at him and said, "What did I tell you about wishing people dead?" She picked him back up and put Terrian back on the stretcher. After Golden Rod knocked Mrs. Chan unconscious and threw Terrian at the lockers, he walked away casually, leaving an African-bronze female named Flower Starz crying and scared for young Terrian.

### Ivory's view

Terrian was returned home on a stretcher. She was horrified to see that a grouchy teacher dumped him on the ground carelessly, Terrian wounded and unconscious. She called her husband over in distress, tears in her eyes. Leran gasped and covered his mouth in shock and horror. "Our-our son!" Leran picked up Terrian and carried him to a warm and comfy bed. He called up his wife so she could check and help him. 3-year-old Quainer ran up the stairs and yelled, "TERRIAN'S HOME!!!" Ivory nodded sadly, tears in her eyes. She moved aside, showing lil' Quainer what happened to him. The little 3-year-old said tearfully, "Oh." He climbed up into the end of the bed and sat there. "I'll protect him!" He said fiercely. There was a knock at the door. Two, in fact. Flower and her bestie, a Russian-gold named Branger. Leran answered the door and they asked if Terrian was alright. He shook his head sadly and let them in. Branger ran up the stairs, being active, and Flower walked up normally. Quainer waved at the friends and wanted to be picked up by Flower. He looked at Ivory, who nodded. Flower picked up the toddler and balanced him on her hip. Branger smiled softly. Quainer sighed with content and put his head on her shoulder.

## Chapter One- Another School Day- Terrian's view

When Flower and Branger left three hours later, much to Quainer's sadness, the family cleaned up dinner, which was something white and *close* to pasta. They went to bed at 8:00.

### 7:00 AM

*BRI-NNNGG*

Terrian woke up, rubbing his eyes. "Ugh, what time is it?" He looked at the alarm clock. "7:00?" He walked to school, as androids didn't get Hoverbuses. His shoulders were down and he was sad. Golden Rod walked to school solely to torture Terrian. He grabbed the Asian-silver by the shoulders and threw him to the ground! He gasped and cried out for help. Golden Rod purposely caused injury to the 14-year-old's right leg, hurting Terrian. A lot. He limped to get the five-mile walk finished. He was severely late for school and collapsed once he got there, grimacing at the pain in his right leg. Instead of being helped, he was harshly reprimanded and hit on the head by the principal for being so late. He limped to his second class, as each class was 40-45 minutes. The waiting time (same thing as passing time) was merely two minutes and it took Terrian five minutes to get to the class. The diamond teacher was angry and pushed Terrian to the ground before he could explain that his leg was injured. His cruel teacher *stomped* on his right leg and Terrian cried out loudly in extreme pain. He whimpered and cried on the floor and tried to escape the teacher's wrath by crawling out of the room, but the teacher dragged him back in, kicking Terrian in the rib. He crumbled to the floor, so injured and hurt that he refused to get up. The teacher cruelly demanded he get up even with his nearly-broken leg. Terrian muttered, "My... leg... injured." The teacher kicked Terrian in the rib again, harder, and yelled, "IF YOU DON'T GET UP, I'LL CALL A ROBOT TO KILL YOU!" Terrian pleaded, "No, please," and crawled weakly over to his seat, unable to get up into the seat with a nearly-broken leg and a mildly-sore rib. Flower's brother, Fern, looked heartbrokenly at the struggling student. The teacher stomped over to Terrian. He yelled, "GET INTO THE SEAT!!!" cursing at the helpless student as well. The 14-year-old struggled into the seat, and it took 10 minutes. After he *finally* got into the chair, the teacher looked at the hoverclock and yelled, "Great, now there's only 20 minutes left. Because of *you*!" He cruelly pushed Terrian off the chair, who sighed sadly, crying in hurt. Fern wished desperately that he could comfort the helpless android, but knew that he and Terrian would be punished. And he knew if the punishment for the young android continued, he'd die.

## Chapter Two- The Horrendous Treatment Continues- Golden Rod's View

Soon the 20 minutes were over. Terrian was dragged and carelessly thrown out of the room, stepped on by other students, to his sadness and pain. Golden Rod smirked and said, "How are you enjoying being a rug?" Terrian didn't reply, only cried in pain as a student stepped on his back. Fern tried to save young Terrian from being kicked in the side and his right leg *broken* by Golden Rod, but failed to knock out him and was expelled like the French-diamond. It took ALOT to break an android's leg, but that did it. Terrian lost consciousness, to some hybrids' horror. Golden Rod laughed at Terrian, who was suffering horribly. Mrs. Chan came by, horrified when she saw the young android in the horrible condition he was in. Her heart throbbed for Terrian and his family. When she went to pick him up, a male android named Oran told her tearfully, "His right leg is broken, miss." She gasped. "What!? No!" He nodded and said, "It is so, miss." She called an ambulance and a male human took one look at the helpless android and said, "Tough luck, kid." He seemed like he didn't care. He muttered, "I came all the way for *this* kid." Mrs. Chan tearfully followed in her Hovership. He was put into Hospital Room 300. Golden Rod, meanwhile, was *laughing* at the suffering Terrian went through. He called Goldy again.

"Yo, Mom."

"Yeess?"

"I broke Terrian's leg."

"You did!? Great!"

"Yep. A teacher helped."

"A teacher? Prejudice continues."

"Yep."

"So uh, I suppose I'll go now?"

"You do that. See ya at home."

"You too. Love you!"

"Right back at chya!"

A concerned-looking Caucasian-diamond named Sisi Hall asked what happened to this 'Terrian' student. Golden Rod replied with dark pride, "I broke this Asian-silver's leg!" Sisi gasped in horror. "WHAT!?" Golden Rod smiled evilly down at Sisi. "You'd be fun to target." She shook her head rapidly and said, "No!" She watched in horror as he aggressively grabbed and threw an 11-year-old android down, the child crying out for help. Sisi teared up as Golden Rod cruelly punched him to shut him up. When the cruel robot stopped, she helped the small and thin android up. He was sad-looking and dented on his face. She hugged him and took him to the nurse's office, knowing he'd be safe there. A mean-looking 12-year-old Kazakhstani-silver male named Turlan was standing, snickering, near an unconscious 11-year-old robot while the nurse was reprimanding him. In response, Turlan responded, "I don't care if the stupid robot did nothing to me. Or that he could die." Sisi's mouth partially opened in shock. *What'd he do??* The 11-year-old with her looked up at her innocently. "Is he a bad guy?" Sisi answered quietly, "Seems so..." Mrs. Chan hushed the curious 6th-grader, not wanting him to get hurt. Turlan glared at the child and put his hand in a fist. Mrs. Chan held his wrist to calm the cruel 12-year-old down. Another robot entered the nurse's office, holding a hand over a small wound. Another snickering android entered the nurse's office, pushing the young robot rudely. She looked down at the collapsed robot and said, "Get up crybaby, I don't care if you're 12." The crying robot revealed a wound from a stolen pocketknife. "Hey Magripa... I see you got another victim..." said Turlan slyly. Sisi whispered, "We should go..." and took the child's smaller hand. He nodded and pulled Sisi along. She was worried about leaving those two tween robots with Turlan and Magripa but knew that the nurse would protect them- If the sibling duo didn't hurt her. Then, Mrs. Chan was thrown out of the room. By the siblings. Sisi looked back, her heart aching for the child robots inside the room. Turlan and Magripa came out, smiling evilly. Sisi's dark blue eyes widened. She asked with a growl, hiding her fear, "What, did, you, do?" Turlan said slyly, "Do you want to know?" Sisi answered, "Maybe?" *I know already, you cold-blooded idiots.* Then she growled, "Now you've given them *more* of a reason to hate us. Most of us are innocent, and you know it. Then *you* knock out a human and *kill* two robots, children, too." The child with her's eyes widened in fear. He put his head against her chest and whimpered, "I'm scared..." She patted his head. Turlan growled, "Child robots are easy to kill." She shouted, "Doesn't mean it's right! In fact, it's the *exact opposite* of right!" Magripa approached Sisi slowly and growled, "So allowing the robots and humans to bully and *hospitalize* us is right?" *Ouch.*

"Well, no... They shouldn't be so prejudiced..."

"Exactly. That's why we kill them. They kill us, we kill them."

"And then people hate androids more."

"No," She smiled venomously, "They *fear* us."

Meanwhile, Golden Rod was watching from the background, rightfully angered by the murders committed.

## Chapter Three- The Horrors Increase- Ivory's View

Ivory worriedly entered the school, yelling, "Terrian!?" She approached the scene. Golden Rod approached Magripa angrily, in long, fluid movements. "HOW DARE YOU KILL MY PEOPLE!" She looked at him like he was a tiny bug instead of a VERY angry robot. She grabbed him and held her pocketknife to his side, aiming to kill him. Sisi copied his movement and held the murderous android's wrist away from the terrified robot's side. She told Golden Rod to go as soon as he could escape. Golden Rod ran to the principal, aiming to get help. Magripa glared at Sisi and tried to injure her, but Sisi evaded her attack. As soon as the principal heard about the murders and the attempt on Golden Rod's life, he ran toward the nurse's office. Ivory was watching the scene in horror, then noticed a movement out of the corner of her eye. Turlan had tackled an already-injured human girl by the name of Janyia Daves (MY BESTIE; name and age change obvie) to eliminate her. Sisi's eyes caught sight of that and smashed into Turlan. He swore and was grabbed by the principal. Janyia grabbed Sisi's wrists and hoisted herself up. The young android with Sisi's eyes was wide and terrified with the drama and violence. The 15-year-old human girl grimaced as she grasped her side. Sisi walked her to the nearest classroom and asked what was wrong.

Meanwhile, while all this nonsense was happening, Golden Rod was confronted by Ivory. "Did you hurt Terrian??" He said, "Uhh, maybe??" He smiled weakly. Her expression angered, and she yelled, "How and why!?" Golden Rod replied meekly, "Umm, I broke his leg and he's a stupid android-" *Good thing Sisi wasn't there.* Ivory yelled, "WHAT!? YOU FRICKIN' *BROKE MY SON'S LEG*!?" Golden Rod's eyes widened. "You're... you're Terrian's mom??" *Da(ng) that was stupid.* She said, "YES, I'm Terrian's mom! HOW COULD YOU BREAK HIS LEG!?" The principal laid a land on Ivory's shoulder, saying, "Chillax, he's only an *android.*" She looked at him angrily. "ONLY an android!? THE KID FRICKIN' *HAS A LIFE!*" The principal thought, *Well, that could've gone better.* Golden Rod muttered, "He's in the hospital right now."

*Now, BACK to Sisi and Janyia!* Janyia whispered, "An android hit my rib... Because I'm human and we reject androids... My parents are racist against you guys and *cheer* when an android gets hurt..." She teared up. Sisi patted the girl's back and said, "I *know* there are kind humans out there... So I would *never* injure a human for who they are."

Ivory angrily left the building, got in her Hovership, and went to the hospital. She asked where Terrian was put. The hospital workers seemed to have forgotten about the helpless student and struggled to remember. "Room 300," stated one female worker. She looked at a map. "ARE YOU FRICKIN' KIDDING ME!? That's the SIXTH-LAST room!" The workers glanced at each other and said, "We don't talk about 301, 302, 303, 304, and 305." Ivory took an elevator up to the last floor, where Terrian was. His room was next to an eerily-dark hall of five rooms. *Ugh, I'm getting the creepy factor just by describing it.* She shivered and entered Terrian's room as quickly as possible and shut the door. He looked at her, looking VERY sad and forlorn. "No one came up yet..." A tear rolled down his cheek. His right leg was limp and sad-looking compared to his left leg. She looked heartbrokenly at her son. She felt sick at the cold neglect of her helpless foster son. Ivory demanded a worker come up and take care of him.

## Chapter Four- Sadness Increases- Terrian's View

A worker came up, looking at Terrian's limp leg. "Wow, OK." He looked at her, his eyes sad and desperate. She checked his leg, sighing loudly. He whispered, "Do you not want to take care of me??" Ivory's heart broke for his sad statement. The nurse glared at him and said coldly, "No." He looked down and teared up. Ivory walked over to him, holding his metal-flesh (mostly metal) hand. She said, "Your leg is unfixable. Bye." Ivory's brown eyes widened. "What do you mean, *unfixable*?" She responded, "It has to be amputated." Ivory teared up, angrily thinking, *It's all that stupid robot's fault!* Terrian gasped and whimpered, "Amp-amputated?" The Mexican nurse said coldly, "Yes, now shut up." Terrian teared up and attempted to get up from the lying position he was in. The small action sent a wave of pain up Terrian's lower half. He gasped sharply, wanting to get out of the hospital where he was barely taken care of. Ivory sighed sadly and whispered, "I have to go soon, Terr.." His expression changed to a sad pouty look. "Why?" She teared up for him, knowing he'd be left in the room without a source of comfort or care. "Dinner..." She stayed for 20 more minutes, trying to comfort her depressed son. Then, she had to go. She hugged and kissed him on the cheek and left with a sad smile. Terrian didn't see the tears brimming in her eyes. When she closed the door and dashed down the hallway, a river of tears ran down his cheeks. Ivory had subconsciously turned off the light, symbolizing depression, and Terrian called for his mom to come back and turn on the light, symbolizing Terrian's need for love and attention. When she didn't come back, meaning the lack of care, he wept for a person to turn on the light and comfort him. He laid in the darkened room, his Asian, black eyes wide and sad. They set off a slight depressing gray light. He sighed deeply and tried to turn on the light, but collapsed to the ground, crying out in pain as horrible pain went through his lower half. "Someone... Please..." He muttered. He lied on the floor, helpless and depressed. He tried to scoot along the floor with his feet, but it didn't work, as intense pain was sent through his legs again. He tried to get back onto the hospital bed, but crumpled to the ground. In desperate measures, he forced himself to move toward the door, turn on the light, and open the door. He called out for help, cringing at the pain in his lower half. His voice made it to Floor Two, but all some nurses did was glance in an annoyed way toward the stairway. He looked at the dark hallway and trembled violently. He felt the need to escape it but couldn't. His right leg was limp and useless. An annoyed-looking doctor came up, looked warily at the dark hallway, and looked at Terrian. "Why are you lying in the entranceway??" Terrian quietly replied, "I need someone to take care of me..." The doctor told him to get up.

"I can't..."

"Why not?"

"My right leg is broken..."

"WELP, that sucks." He picked up Terrian by the armpits, struggling, and dropped him on the bed. The 14-year-old frowned deeply. The doctor sighed. "Well... I was told your leg has to be amputated." Terrian nodded sadly, the frown still on his face. He pulled out a medical device and did the things a doctor would normally do. Well, besides numb the patient.

"...Aren't you supposed to numb me?"

"...No..."

"But-" Terrian started to cry, "It'll hurt a lot!"

*This kid's a crybaby.*"Sit down and try to go to sleep."

"It'll still hurt!"

He forced a small bottle of some strong sleeping drug to make Terrian be quiet. Unfortunately, he was four years too young for the drug. It had some health effects on him, making him sick, hungry, and dehydrated. Soon Ivory came along. She opened the door and was shocked to see what she did, dropping a small container of the dinner. It was plastic, so the food was safe.

"*PLEASE* tell me you numbed him!"

"No," He turned to look at her, "But he's a deep sleep right now."

She paled, her deep brown skin lightening. "Oh, my poor baby..." She teared up, putting her head in her hands. She demanded to know how he put the young android to sleep.

"A sleep drug, obvie."

*Oh, PLEASE not a dangerous one...* "Which one?"

He handed her the drug.

"STARZA RINN!? THAT'S DANGEROUS FOR KIDS HIS AGE!!!"

The inscription read,

**DO NOT GIVE TO PERSONS BELOW 17. PERSONS 13 TO 15 WILL GET SICK, DEHYDRATED, AND HUNGRY. PATIENTS 10 TO 12 HAVE A HIGHLY LIKELY CHANCE OF DYING. SURVIVORS WILL GET SEVERELY ILL. CHILDREN 9 AND BELOW GUARANTEED TO DIE. MUST BE PRESCRIBED OR ALLOWED BY DOCTOR UNTIL THE AGE OF 30. PARENTAL PERMISSION MUST BE GRANTED TO MINORS** (20-)**.**

She read it, horrified. "My poor baby... He's SICK now because of you!" She glared at him, fire in her eyes. She picked up the warm container and put it on the hovering bedstand. The doctor looked at her. "Petty."

## Chapter Five- Even Grimmer- Golden Rod's View

While Ivory was holding Terrian's hand, the school was mourning the two deceased robots. The very few people who'd haven't heard of the two children's deaths were horrified and shocked to hear they'd been murdered by two androids, causing the hatred for them to go up among the school. Four hours after the school did their grieving, the media decided to investigate. The school told them what happened, and they wrote the headline as,

"**ANDROIDS KILL TWO YOUNG SECOND-SCHOOLERS** (6th-12th grade; Secondary school) **IN TERRY SECOND SCHOOL**"

The innocent androids and supporters were not very happy about this headline. An 18-year-old female Mexican supporter named Iris Walls wrote an email to the company.

"OK, WHY would you say it generally!? Most of the androids are innocent! Of course, like humans, like me, there are exceptions! The murderers were two siblings who were murderous and cold! Also, I'd like to inform you that their parents are criminals. They planned to kill me and revealed their secret (or maybe not so secret, because their behavior was very abnormal). There are only three mean androids I've encountered out of the *200s* I've seen! Rant over, be careful how you phrase stuff.

-Iris Walls"

 Three hours after the publisher reading more than 10 protest emails from the school, all supporters, they got back to eight of the emails. The reply to Iris was,

"Umm, Ms. Walls, we're sorry for the inconvenience... We will try to fix this mistake. We do know the vast majority of androids are innocent, but typing is boring and we just wanted to get the news sent out. Also, why is your school called 'Terry Second School'?

-Gerald's Publishing Company

*123-3454-883, @GPC.5522322, Andrew Street, Oran*

 Two hours after the email came in, she replied,

"I dunno, someone had a lousy imagination, IG. And this is coming from a company called 'Gerald's Publishing Company'. Anyways, more androids are getting bullied and *murdered* everyday because of prejudice. Now it will rise because of you guys. No surprise there. Never telling people about the androids that actually *do* save people, ESPECIALLY their haters. In fact, my first friend in 6th grade was a android. Well, guess what happened to him when I was in 9th grade!? He was murdered in a attack on his neighborhood! Not only did it cost *his* life, but 10 other innocent androids' lives! Does bullying and prejudice *really* need to rise!?

-Iris"

Meanwhile, Golden Rod was bullying another android and caused him to lose consciousness. Then, he caused potentially-fatal injury to the helpless student. He laughed and walked away. He encountered another android, this one an orphaned child. Golden Rod approached the 11-year-old orphan and yelled, "Crybaby!" He started to punch him. The child pleaded, "Don't hurt me! Please! I have a toddler brother and baby sister at home!" Golden Rod said, "Whatever," and caused the child to lose consciousness. "Just wait until the children die at home.." (I'm not killing them off). A 17-year-old android was horrified to see the unconscious 6th-grader and picked up the small android. He recognized him as the android that often begged for basic supplies. When he got to the nurse's office, Golden Rod was being reprimanded by Mrs. Chan. The 17-year-old laid the small android down on a bed. The little titanium android stirred and woke up 30 minutes later. The 17-year-old practically hopped up and asked the child if he was okay. He told Mrs. Chan he wanted to become a doctor or a nurse, but couldn't because of his race (Interrace is our version of race). Mrs. Chan said, "Great! Maybe you can become my assistant? You seem to know basic essentials when taking care of a patient." Golden Rod was outraged. "NO!!! He can't become a *nurse*!" Mrs. Chan looked at him warily. "Who said?"

"THE LAW!!!" And he stomped away to tell the principal.

## Chapter Five- To Protect Her Son- Ivory's View

Ivory said, "I'm not petty, I just care about my son!" The doctor said, "Well, fine. I'll leave your stupid android here." The doctor stopped taking care of Terrian and left. Ivory teared up, covering her mouth in horror. She asked for another doctor to come up and take care of the helpless young android. She watched as a nurse came up and said, "We'll find another doctor. Dr. Gerens gave up on your idiot son." Ivory looked at her sleeping son and teared up, heartbroken. Three hours later, a doctor still was not there. And Terrian was getting sicker. Soon, Ivory gave up on waiting for a doctor. Her son was lying sick and vulnerable, and he was not getting any help. She angrily stomped down. "A NURSE PROMISED ME *THREE HOURS AGO* MY SICK AND HELPLESS SON WOULD GET A DOCTOR!!! WELL, HE DIDN'T!" A nurse said, "Chill, lady. We have other patients we need to take care of!" Meanwhile, in Terrian's room, he was suffering from extreme pain and sickness. She went back up the three flights of stairs and went into Terrian's room, still seething with anger. She could see his weakness. The 14-year-old's eyes remained closed. Two hours later, a doctor FINALLY came up. Ivory had lost all hope of a doctor coming up or even Terrian's *survival*. She said, "THIS is who you were yelling at innocent people for..."

"And my sick and helpless son isn't innocent!?"

"How would I know??"

"Just take care of him before he *dies*, please!"

The doctor numbed him and finished the amputation. "Great, now we can throw- *I mean*, peacefully put him in a Hoverchair!" However, he wouldn't be able to get out of the hospital that day. He was too sick and weak to be left outside without any support. The doctor finished the process and left the room. Ivory sighed and said, "Oh, my poor baby..." 8 hours after this, Terrian woke up, coughing weakly. He ate the food at the stand, which was now very cold. He pleaded, his voice merely a whisper, "Drink?" Ivory regretted not getting a water bottle. "I'll get you one, sweetie." She asked for a drink from the hospital. They gave her a bottle of water. She opened the bottle and gave her helpless son the water. She read some bottles of medicine and made sure it was safe for the weak 14-year-old to consume. A nurse came up to see what Ivory and Terrian were doing. Ivory was reading the descriptions of bottles and Terrian, well, was laying down. She said to Ivory, "Why are you reading bottles?"

Ivory turned to her and said, "My son needs medicine! He's VERY sick!"

Terrian was drifting off into sleep again, showing his sickness. The nurse looked at the 14-year-old and shook her head sadly. "Poor child.." She sent a quick prayer to God. She went to Terrian's side and gave him a small dose of medicine that at most would have mild pains in his lower stomach as a side effect- IF it didn't work. Dr. Sarah Nessan told Ivory about Jesus and His sacrifice since Ivory was human. She gave her a small Gospel tract, smiling. Dr. Nessan gave some of the pile to Ivory so she could pass some out. Dr. N. started passing out tracts to her fellow coworkers. Terrian went to sleep peacefully, not of sickness, but because the medicine had a tiny bit of a non-dangerous sleeping drug in it so the medicine could spread easily in the patient's body. Ivory could tell this nap would help the young android. She left, keeping the light on just in case Terrian needed somebody. He woke up soon enough, alone, and cried because he was afraid of being alone. Luckily, a different Christian doctor kept him company. He had heard the young android's call for attention and non-romantic love. A female doctor went into the room to get a Hoverchair for young Terrian. She looked bored. She fakely smiled at Dr. Quner because they were co-workers. Terrian was getting better unusually fast. Why? Because God exists. And so does medicine. He was kept company for three days and got to get out of the hospital. Ivory was happy about this and pushed the hoverchair out.

## Chapter Six- Finally Happy- Terrian's View

When he was taken home, the rest of his family cried out of happiness and hugged him. They noticed his missing leg. "That bad, buddy?" Leran said softly. Terrian nodded sadly. "I was forgotten and fed very little in the hospital..." Leran gasped. "You poor baby!" His little foster brother wanted to sit in his lap to comfort him. Terrian picked up Quainer and sat him up on his still fully-existing leg. Quainer quietly asked how he lost his leg.

"Umm.... So the bully, Golden Rod, injured me on the way to school. I was horribly injured in my classroom and Golden Rod broke my leg. It had to be amputated..."

"That's awful!"

"Yeah..."

"Mom... I wanna go to sleep."

"OK, I'll tuck you in."

She took him gently from the Hoverchair and tucked him in.

### Next Morning

She entered the room. "Time to get up!"

"O-Okay."

She put him back into the chair, pushing it out and calling a Hoverbus. They came, noticing the disabled android.

"Do we have to take him?"

Ivy nodded firmly. "Yes."

"Ugh, fine." They put him with disabled people. There was a Jewish human in a Hoverchair and she was very chatty. The Gold robot beside Terrian rolled his eyes.

The young girl looked at Terrian. "Who are you? I'm Mary!"

Terrian whispered, "Terrian."

"What happened to your right leg?"

"It was broken and had to be amputated."

"Oh, that sucks. What's your favorite thing to do?"

"Play games."

"Cool! Mine is writing!"

"What do you write?"

"Science-fiction. Do you write?"

"No."

"Awww... You should try it one day! It's really fun!"

"OK."

## Chapter Seven- Anger for His Survival- Golden Rod

Golden Rod noticed three young characters going through the door. A Jewish girl, a Gold robot, and... TERRIAN!? The Gold robot saw his expression of anger. "What?" He said.

"The android is supposed to be DEAD!"

The Jewish girl gasped as Terrian cried. The robot looked at the crying android. "What happened to him?"

"I broke his leg. He was supposed to die!"

"Mary... I think our little *friend* here needs protecting..."

Mary nodded fearfully. She brought her chair in front of Terrians'. The robot went in front of Mary just in case Golden Rod... Tried something.
