Chapter 17 - It's not what you think

This apartment was very simple, walls were painted yellow, many paintings and pictures frames were hanging on them.

"Take a seat, i will get you a coffee." Sarah spoke and walked towards the kitchen.

Sheyan looked around the apartment while walking towards the couch. There was a big empty glass cage beside the couch. Suddenly Sheyan's eyes stopped on a big green Lizard.

A green Lagoon iguana.

Sheyan picked it up and sat on the couch with it.

"Hmm a pretty unique choice for a pet she got." Sheyan commented while playing with Lagoon iguana.

Very soon Sarah came back with two cups of coffee.

She saw Sheyan playing with her pet and spoke.

"His name is pugsley, he is cute isn't he."

"Yeah very cute." Sheyan answered.

Sarah sat on the couch too and gave Sheyan his coffee.

"Umm so... do you think that killer will actually show up?" Sarah asked to start a conversation, although talking about a killer who is coming after her is actually a little nerve wrecking topic to talk about.

"Maybe, we can't be sure what a killer is thinking after all." Sheyan replied.

'In the movie, Terminator appeared at night time, so i don't think he will be here anytime soon.'

"Do you live here alone?" Sheyan asked back while sipping his coffee.

"No i live with my roommate, Ventura." Sarah replied.

"What about your boyfriend, he doesn't live with you?" Sheyan asked while looking at Sarah.

"No... He.. he is always working, he doesn't come here much." Sarah replied a little absentmindedly.

"Oh neglecting such a pretty girlfriend, isn't he afraid of you being snatched by someone else." Sheyan said while looking into Sarah's eyes.

"Are you flirting with me right now?" Sarah spoke feeling a little strange.

"Haha yes, you caught me" Sheyan replied with a light laugh.

'Getting the affection of the Main heroine isn't easy, otherwise all other contestants with high charm points would have gone for female leads, no worries tho.' Seaman thought.

Suddenly the door opened, Sheyan and Sarah both looked at the door quickly, a girl with curly black hairs entered inside.

She looked towards Sarah then at Sheyan sitting beside her, after she saw Sheyan she almost couldn't take her eyes off his face.

She again looked at Sarah this time with a strange smile adorning her face.

"Ventura you are back." Sarah spoke, breaking the weird atmosphere.

"Yes i am, but i think i came at the wrong time, should i leave?" Ventura asked Sarah with a knowing smile.

"No no it's not like that, although you should leave, but it's not what you are thinking." Sarah tried to explain, but didn't know how to.

"Hehe no problem dear, i understood it clearly, i will go to Matt's place for the night, have fun." She said and turned back.

"No wait it's really not what you are thinking." Sarah shouted but Ventura already closed the door.

"Hahaha don't fret too much over it, at least she will be safe this way, staying here could be dangerous for her." Sheyan said with a light laugh, what he said was truth tho, in original Ventura was killed by Terminator when he came to Sarah's apartment.

"Yeah, guess that's true." Sarah replied and sat back on the sofa.

"Umm so your department deals with these type of situations all the time?" Sarah asked trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, it's a daily thing for us, but we deal with many other things." Sheyan replied.

"Like what?" Sarah asked.

"Like spying, assassination, rescuing, guarding, etc." Sheyan replied with a smile.

"Assassination!?, You kill people too?" Sarah asked with shock.

"Yeah, sometimes killing one person can save thousands of lives, so assassination is a very important part of our job." Sheyan replied.

"Have you killed someone before?" Sarah asked while looking into Sheyan's eyes.

"Too many to count." Sheyan replied in a calm voice, also looking into Sarah's eyes.

"Did they all deserve to die?" Sarah asked again still keeping the eye contact.

"Some did, some i don't know." Sheyan answered, moving his face a little closer.

Sarah kept silent this time, her eyes were fixed on Sheyan's face which was already very close, that she could feel his breath on her face.

She opened her lips a little and also inched forward.

Their lips were only a milimeter apart, Sarah closed her eyes at this time, expecting something to happen.

Sheyan decided to go for it, but before their lips could come together, the door banged open heavily.

Sarah opened her eyes and hurriedly moved back. Sheyan lips twitched in anger being disturbed at this moment.

He looked at the door in anger, there he was a tall guy who looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger, holding a .45 AMT hardballer with a laser light installed on top.

Terminator looked inside the room and saw two people, he aimed his gun at the female first as his main target of termination was a female called Sarrah Connor.

Sheyan held Sarah's hand and pulled her into his arms just then a bullet pierced the couch at the location Sarah was sitting just now.

Sarah screamed, Sheyan stood up with Sarah and pushed her behind him, protecting her with his body.

Terminator looked at the male who interrupted his mission and aimed at him, a bullet came at an extreme speed and hit Sheyan in the chest, Sarah screamed once again.

Sheyan calmly took out the black barreled military controlled gun, equipped the Machine predator title and fired at Terminator's head.

He did all this in one smooth action, a military controlled bullet with higher penetration power pierced through Terminator's left eye and went in his head.

Terminator flew back from the impact and crashed on the wall behind. His head buzzed and his C.P.U microchip stopped working for a moment.

Sheyan walked to the fallen Terminator, Terminator has fallen into a stun state effect of special trait of Sheyan's new gun.

Sheyan aimed at his head again and fired continuously with his gun. After just 6 shots Terminator's body stopped moving completely.

His skull was completely destroyed with electric sparks crackling every second or two from the loose wires.

Sarah came out at this time, and looked down at Terminator's body.

"What.. what is this?" She asked in a shaky voice, shocked by the scene in front of her.

"A robot, sent to kill you" Sheyan replied.

"A robot? What do you mean? Did you know about this already?" Sarah asked questions back to back, looking at Sheyan, who still seemed calm like he already knew about all these.

"Yeah I knew, I didn't tell you cause you wouldn't have believed it if i have told you this before." Sheyan answered.

"Do you know why this.. thing came to kill me?" Sarah asked about the question that was bugging her the most.

"Yes i know, but i am afraid the answer to that is far more hard to believe than a killer robot trying to kill you." Sheyan replied and bent down to use his S grade ability on Terminator's body.

Other than contestants no one can see the dropped keys, so Sarah didn't see the crimson key that floated out of Terminator's body and fell in Sheyan's hand, She just saw him checking the body of the robot that came to kill her.

Sheyan picked up the gun, Terminator was holding and stood up.

"Tell me the truth, I don't think anything else can be more hard to believe than a killer robot coming after me." Sarah grabbed Sheyan's jacket and asked him to tell the truth.

"Okay, if you say so. Let's sit down inside and talk, how about that?" Sheyan smiled and said.

Sarah nodded and went back inside, Sheyan bant down and stored Terminator's body in his storage. Then he closed the door, although the lock was already broken but it was still closable, barely.

Inside, Sarah sat back on the couch and held her forehead with both hands.

Sheyan sat beside her and patted her back.

"Don't worry too much, you have me here, as long as i am here nothing will happen to you." Sheyan assured her with a smile.

Sarah looked up at him, he was smiling at her like nothing big had happened at all.

She took a big breath and nodded. She sat back straight on the couch and said "Now tell me everything, I want to know what's happening."

"Okay let me tell you a short story first." Sheyan said and before Sarah could interrupt he started to tell the story.

"In a certain period of time, many machines like the robot you just saw rebelled against humanity, they hunted and killed all the humans they came across, whole world became the territory of Machines." Sheyan spoke solemnly, telling Sarah the future of this world.

"What happened after that? Did they kill all humans?" Sarah asked with curiosity, somehow this story affected her.

"When all humanity was on the verge of extinction a man stood up, he gathered all the scattered humans and made a group to resist the machines, he named it 'Resistance', after fighting many hard won battles and making countless sacrifices, Resistance won." Sheyan continued.

"Great!!, so they destroyed all machines?" Sarah asked, happy for the humans.

"No, machines who lost, found a way to make a time machine, they sent back a robot from the future in the past to kill the mother of that man who defeated them." Sheyan continued solemnly.

"Kill the mother of that man? In the past..." Sarah muttered the words, her eyes opened a little, guessing something.

"Is it..." Sarah looked at Sheyan and spoke.

"Yes that man's name was or would be John Conner, your son." Sheyan nodded and spoke confirming Sarah's guess.

"Is this really happening right now?" Sarah fell back on the couch and muttered to herself.

"Yeah, it's happening, but don't think about it too much, future matters should be left to the future." Sheyan answered.

"How do you know all these? Are you really from some hidden department?" Sarah looked at Sheyan and asked.

"I defeated a robot like that before too and repaired it, after checking its database i found out about all these and nope there is no hidden department behind me." Sheyan spoke half truth and half lie.

"Then why did you come here to guard me?" Sarah sat back straight and asked in a serious voice.

Sheyan held Sarah's shoulder and spoke while looking into her eyes. "When i saw you for the first time, i felt like a new world opened up to me, and a voice rang in my ears, to protect you at all cost."

Sarah looked in Sheyan's eyes, she didn't find any ounce of lies in them, his words 'to protect you at all cost' made her heart beat faster.

She felt something she never felt before, she wasn't able to contain herself and just moved her face closer to his and kissed his lips.

Sheyan reciprocated the sudden advance from Sarah and kissed back, his right hand went behind her neck while his left hand took hold of her waist.

He pulled her into his arms even more while kissing her, Sarah pushed Sheyan a little making him fall back on the couch, Sarah fell on top of him and continued kissing.
