《When Machines Break》CHAPTER 2- PAIN
Advertisement
I ran to my room, tears still streaming down my face. As soon as I got in, I locked my door and leant against it breathing heavily. Frank was right, I am useless. I looked across my room and saw my blade on the table, gleaming in the moonlight. It seemed to be almost calling me over towards it.
Such a beautiful piece of metal work, yet so deadly. One deep cut in the right place is all it takes. Then I would finally be at peace and reunited with my mama. I walked over to it and was about to pick it up when there was a loud banging at my door.
"HEY LEO!" It was Jason. Uggh. What did he want now?
"yeah?" I answered.
"Piper wants you to fix her watch." He informed me.
"Just leave it by the door" I said.
"Ok" and with that he promptly walked off, probably to go make out or something.
"Piper wants you to fix her watch" I mimicked under my breath as I went to go pick it up. "Fix this, Fix that! It seems all they need me for is to fix their things and cause more problems" I muttered angrily.
I looked at the time, it was already ten minutes past midnight. I looked down at Piper's now fixed watch and then blinked at the clock in amazement. I had been rambling for nearly three whole hours!
Now I come to think of it, I am rather tired. I yawn widely and crawl into bed, not bothering to change cloths, Id only get about half an hours sleep until I need t get up again for the next day and make all Argo II preparations, and yes they take ages because I'm always half asleep while doing them.
I try to get comfortable in my tiny bed amongst all my weird creations. I close my eyes and drift asleep only to be greeted with nightmares from Gaia, almost as bad as Tartarus.

Erica Moore was offered the chance of staying herself during her next life, but decided that an unknown cost was too high a price to pay. In trying to get some peace from Faustian bargains, she accidentally got herself stuck outside the cycle of reincarnation.

She will need to navigate identity as each new life changes her, and if she wants an overpowered reincarnator cheat ability, she will need to build it herself.
