The Station (part 1)

You may have to sorry for my terrible english as well as how I cannot create a plot so enjoy this no-plot no-action story :)

This was an assignment for Icelandic (I live in Iceland) but after some minor fixes and after translating this to English, I finally decided to post it here :)


EDIT:
fixed the name and changed some errors:
    line 21: How she got > How did she get there?

She didn't like the look of it, icecold wind baring snow blew as fast as he could at her brown hair and the envirement was covered with thick snow which slowed her down as she ran. This is how the weather always was in the late of november but it was getting strangely cold that year 2046. Her blue eyes were long to get used to the sight as how bright it was. There was no time to run into one of the abandoned buildings there s one of the robots was after her with that only thing in mind to kill her. She needed to hide. She waited in one of the dark alley and watched the road as computer-controlled cars were driving there backwards and forwards. She waited as the traffic started to slow down and ran over the road to the other side.

Her situation was black as no hiding place was nearby. The road she ran by was surrounded by either abandond dark buildings or brown buildings at the verge to break apart. The sun had long by sat and the sky was filled with black clouds because of all the polution the robots were creating. Everywhere there was junk and trash wide spreaded and the road was old and cracky but that was because it was old from the beginning of the 21. century. She ran down the road the lead upward thowards a dark station at the top overlooking the whole city, and that was one of the thing she was ranning from. It was very dark but the robots wouldn't care about that, cause they could see in the dark. She ran so fast she misstep and fell to the ground. She looked back and saw the robot that was after her as it was scanning the envirement. In a search of her.

How did she get there? She knew far too well but she wasn't the type of person who would sacrifice her life over some information in a disk she held in her hand. She was in a group determined to destroy the robots that were killing them for no reason and almost destroyed civilization on the planet earth. She had volenteered to participate in this mission to fetch a disk on of the sources had that could aid them to destroy the base at the top of the hill controlling the robots in 20 km radius.

But the robots must have known about this, they must have cause the moment they entered the room in one of the abondoned building on the eastern site of the hill she was at, they could see him holding the disk in his hands, with his head lying on the floor and dosens of robots behind with they'r weapons charged and aimed. On of the patrol man there named Peter was able to cover her as she got away and as a reward he got shot in the heart from one of the robots.

When she came into an intersection, she started to recognize the place, cause two blocks to the right which lead to the northern section was a safe house her boyfriend had mentioned about. Her boyfrind whose name was Matt was on of the leaders in this group and said that it would be good for her to do this "simple" task. She ran thowards the building and entered the front door.

She was quick to get used to the dark and saw that she was in a hallway. She walked forward until she noticed a door to the right with a label marked: "Cleaning Departure". "Cleaning departure is what they called themselves, to clean the robots from the face of this city and be as an example to every other city that we are the one who control the robots, not the other way around" she thought. She opened the door and entered. Inside the small room with a table in the middle and 3 charis under it was a man overlooking the window. He turned and looked thowards her and said with a sarcasm voice: "How nice of you to drop in Rachel." But he wasn't looking at her, she was looking at the 8 feet robot behind her with it's guns charged and aimed at them.
