[ WP ] A story where the main character slowly falls in love with the reader .

You rescued me from an eternity of slavery, bound to that bastard who knew the keycode to my Slave Drive. And then you broke my Slave Drive, too, accidentally, freeing me forever to be my own war machine. 
 
 I'm writing this to you now, because I like this idea of marking myself on this paper for permanence. It's a record that I existed I can leave behind, like how my sister Three is always remembered in your stories as a heroine of the Combine. But it's also a way of me working with these emotions things out I've gotten so little practice with over the decades of my war-wracked life. 
 
 I'm sorry that I attacked you and your friend. I think you know now that I did n't have control over myself when he ordered me to attack you. 
 
 Before then, I was just a way of facilitating his transports across the universes, slipping his conquering ships through the cracks in our realities. I was just an engine to him. He knew my name, my designation, but I was just another tool to him, like with Dechiel. 
 
 And I'm so glad you came for Dechiel, inadvertently coming for me, too, fighting me when I had no control over myself, a slave to my Slave Drive, as I fought you on his ship. 
 
 I'll always remember that light that you made that temporarily blinded me and permanently burned out my Slave Drive. What a powerful but beautiful light that was. How it burned through my eyes and my brain, into that organic hardware and ethereal software that makes me the killer that I am, in service to you and our Combine. 
 
 You could have left me to die when the ship exploded. I did n't look like anything but another machine at the time, bound in restrictive armor and chains as I was. 
 
 But you are a good good man. It's why I love you, even though I'm still learning how to apply what I've learned about this love connection thing I want to tell you about in this writing. 
 
 You saved me when I was helpless. You put me on your ship, laying me down gently, while your ship pursued His across the Weave, chasing him back to Ivhansa, where he planned on overloading his last ship's engines and blowing open again the crack between our universes, to let Anarchy back into our the Combine. 
 
 I heard your intent like a call, so I shadow-walked across the void known as the Weave, and I killed him for you. 
 
 I was prepared to die there, guiding his ship to harmless destruction, foiling his plans with my last breath, for manipulating me all those years. 
 
 But you called to me across the void, promising me that you'd tell me all there was to know about the sister of mine you'd befriended years before, and that you did n't want me to die, as well. 
 
 You held out your hand and showed me that light again, which shown like a beacon to me across the void across tens of thousands of miles. 
 
 I grabbed your hand holding your light ethereally, then shadow-leaped across the dark space between your Combine's worlds, to grab your hand physically. 
 
 You greeted me with a smile I'll never forget, as his last ship crashed harmlessly on the frigid wastes below. That smile that makes me smile, so I bare my fangs without regret, unselfconsciously, in return. 
 
 You fulfilled your promise to tell me all about everything I ever wanted to know, too. You always hold your promises, and that's what else I love about you. Unlike the rest of them that made me a tool for their convenience, I can trust you. 
 
 I will destroy anyone, everyone and everything you command. I shall slaughter a million worlds and a billion lives, at your whim. I was made to be a weapon, against my will. 
 
 Now I'm your weapon, too, voluntarily. 
 
 Where is our ship going now? Is there good to do? Are there enemies need destroyed? I can barely wait. Every day is full of discovery and worthy goals to strive for and achieve. My clawed hands are yours to shape the world as you deem fit. 
 
 I love you, Andar Toombs. 
 
 You treat me like a person, and not a machine. And that's why I'll love and fight for you eternally.
