Chapter 12.5: HOW ARE YOU, SOPHIE?
Meanwhile at the Elliot manor on Earth.
Sophie was finishing to clean the floor in the main hall with James and Louisa Elliot sitting nearby, talking about something while drinking some white wine, but she didn't care about what they were talking about.
James: "Don't worry, honey, David isn't going to be a threat to us anymore, the disassembly drone i sent is way more durable than any other robot every built by my company, he has no chance against him."
Sophie was sad, as she was thinking of David, wondering if she'll ever see him again one day.
When she finished cleaning, Sophie went to put the cleaning tools inside the basement, she kept her head low, the thought of David continuing to distract her and because of that, she accidentally bumped against a butler drone, who slipped and hit his face on the floor, causing his visor to break and oil leak from the broken screen.
Sophie: Looking horrified "I-I'm sorry, let me help-"
Sophie was interrupted by James, who came to see what happened and he looked very angry.
James: "What the fuck happened here!?"
Sophie: Looking at James, in fear "I-I'll clean this right now, i-"
James: "You did this!?"
Sophie: "I-i-"
James: "You've been nothing, but a troublemaker these days.
I've closed an eye way too many times for you, come here-"
James tried to grab Sophie, but she dropped the cleaning tools from her hands and ran away as fast as she could, James immediately started chasing Sophie and was catching up to her very easily.
Sophie tried to hide inside the bathroom, but James managed to grab her hand, causing it to get stuck in between the door.
Sophie could do nothing, but cry, as James pulled her arm with all his strength and eventually, he ripped the arm away from Sophie's body.
Sophie fell onto the floor, crying in pain while James threw the ripped off arm away and stepped inside the bathroom, Sophie looked at him with pleading eyes, but he didn't care one bit and instead stepped on her right leg, crushing her knee and causing her to scream in pain again.
James: "Don't think that screaming is gonna do anything."
James punched Sophie in the face, causing her visor to crack, after that he grabbed her hair and started dragging her away, Sophie was too weak to rebel, since she was loosing lots of oil and by getting dragged she was leaving a long trace of oil on the floor, all while the maid and butler drones nearby continued cleaning the mansion to try to hide their horrified expressions.
James eventually took Sophie to the dark basement, which had a large pile of dead worker drones on a corner, Sophie was thrown in that pile, before James left the basement.
Sophie turned her flashlight mode on, which was flickering a lot, but it was enough for her to see something, with all her strength, she bit off the arm of a random dead body, before starting to suck all the oil in it to stay alive, while also trying to stop her own oil to leak from her ripped arm with her remaining one.
Sophie spit the bit off arm away from her mouth and just sat there, crying quietly, wanting to see only one person right now.
Sophie: "W-where are you, D-David…"
