Nightmare
She laid on the ground with blood streaming out of her stomach. I tried pressing my hands on her abdomen as more and more blood came out.
"How's it look," Rae asked.
"You're severely damaged," I said. "But I think you can be repaired back to acceptable perimeters."
"For an android, you really suck at lying," Rae said as he tried to laugh but she coughed and when she did blood came out. "He found you, EIGHT." Rae said lifting her hand and putting it on my face.
"Who?" I asked.
"You know who," Rae said.
"My father?" I asked.
"He sent..." Rae started to say and she coughed violently. "He sent your brother."
"My what?!" I asked.
This did not compute in my mind. Brother? What did that mean a brother? Did that mean that my father had created other androids? Others that I didn't know.
"Unlike you he has no emotions," Rae said.
"He?" I asked.
"Yes, we knew him for months." Rae said as she coughed.
"What do you mean?!" I asked. "Who did we know for months?"
"We knew him, he was hiding in plain sights for months." she said and she coughed violently.
"Who?" I asked I felt Rae's life drain out of her as she lay in my hands. "Rae!" I felt this new sensation, a new emotion it was fear, it was terror it was grief! "Rae...no...don't leave me."
I knew she was gone. Yet there I was trying to stir her. This emotion was...peculiar. It felt like I couldn't accept she was dead. I couldn't accept I had not been there for her. Whoever had done this would pay for what they had done.
"You should've known it would come to this," a voice said.
I felt this intense anger when I heard the voice.
"You!" I said as I turned to face this man. This man that had been around me this whole time. I felt this intense anger, and rage fill me, I wanted to kill him. I wanted to rip him to shreds.
"Face it EIGHT you shouldn't have betrayed our father." the man said as he smirked. "But fear not, you will join her soon."
He moved towards me with speed I could not calculate.

"NO!" I sat up with a start. I breathed hard, and looked around. Trying to get my bearings.
I ran a self-diagnosis. All systems nominal. Was all I got back. I got out of this bed, and I walked over to a nearby balcony. My thoughts moving a mile a minute. I was having difficulty understanding what exactly was going on.
I guess if you are new to my journals I should start at the beginning. My name is Esmeralda Isabel Gloria Hernandez-Teal. My code name designation is EIGHT. Now you may not believe me when I say this but I am what you call, an Android.
For the past two years I have been living this life of being self-aware and experiencing feelings. It had been an interesting thing however the past couple of days I have been having nightmares.
But I was an android, we didn't have nightmares...or at least I think we didn't have nightmares. Of course I had no way to tell this, as far as I knew I was the only Android that I knew. I was starting to worry that perhaps my father had created more than just I?
I had no idea, I was the only one that I had seen. I was unsure how long I was activated for so far either. My log showed 53,784 days since activation. If this was the case this would put me at around 90.09045226130653 years old. Rho and its parent planet revolves it's star of Deneb at a rate of 584 days per cycle. Each cycle being of course called a year.
If this was the case then that meant I was much older than even some of the Golordians that I currently knew about, but this meant that my creator Norman Hunraken must be ancient compared to most of the other beings that I knew. Then again he was a Fakir and not a Golordian.
I sat there uneasy as I was starting to wonder. Did my father create others, did he create other androids. If he had where were they? And more importantly what have they been programmed to do?
