Struggling

 

Kansas gripped the shovel in her hands tightly and slammed it down hard against the robot that had grabbed her. After the third blow the handle snapped, that was also when the machine started to squeeze. She glanced back at the boys and first noticed that neither of them were moving. Then she saw the look on McFly’s face, she struggled in its grip until she could no longer move. Kansas looked over when she heard the demanding questions asked by the robots about the other people on the planet. She knew it was only a matter of time before someone came to rescue them.

 

Kansas tried to fight the pain of the tight grip the robot had on her until she could no longer stop herself and cried out in pain. Once the sound slipped through her lips she knew one of the two knuckle heads would falter. From where she was Kansas couldn’t hear what McFly and Faldek were saying but could only read their faces. McFly had a pained look on his face, which meant that he was *thinking* which shouldn’t be happening! Faldek on the other hand was yelling, which meant he knew what to do.

 

“Shut up! Faldek SHUT HIM UP!!” she screamed as she gasped for air

 

She kept struggling a useless fight in their grip and was stunned when Faldek kept *talking* she figured that he would gladly jump at the chance to clobber him. McFly had been put in charge when he wanted it; he also had won her favor over Faldek. She couldn’t believe that he was talking to him and not shutting him up!!

 

“No” she whispered out as the room grew dark and the sounds around her faded away like a bad made for TV movie.
