Midnight
A/N: Ok. So this is my first fic, so please be nice! This has been bouncing around in my head for weeks now, and I blame all the awesome fics out there. Also, I own Midnight, aka Lillith Armina and that's it. Bay and Hasbro can have everything else. Though I'm pissed that Prowl isn't in the movies. *growl*
Reviews are loved; tips and pointers adored, and flames will be used to cook my food.
Anyway, ONWARD!
Sam! Wait up you nimrod!" A girl pushed through the crowded high school, trying to catch up with the boy standing beside the door to their last class. She stumbled as Trent shoved her into Sam, who caught her small form with a slight grunt.
"Watch where you're walking nerdette! There are important people walking here!" The jock laughed, wrapping an arm around his girlfriend who didn't even spare a glance at the other teens.
The girl glared at the back of Trent's head as she stood, brushing off her black jeans and black and green striped shirt, rolling her blue-grey eyes. She brushed her dark brown hair out of her face, tucking it behind her ear before looking at Sam. "Sorry about that Sam. You ready for the last A for your car?"
Sam didn't answer. He was too busy looking at the object of his affection who was being settled into a seat beside Trent. He shook himself slightly, blinking down at the girl that barely reached his shoulder and groaned. "Thanks for reminding me Lills. I just hope that I get the stupid thing!" He grumbled as he made his way to his assigned seat, and Lillith followed behind him, giggling.
She sat in the back of the room, furthest from the windows and door leaning into the room. She'd done this ever since she'd transferred to Tranquility High. Sam was the only one who knew her reasoning behind the act, but even he thought she was paranoid. Sam turned back to look at her from his seat, an eyebrow raised. "Are you ever going to trust someone enough to sit behind you? I mean, come on, this is Tranquility. Nothing happens here, so you're safe."
Lillith let out a humorless laugh, eye darting around the room even as she spoke to Sam. Her tone was cold, and her eyes narrowed when she looked toward Trent. "Hun, that's the reason why I'm so careful. Things will always happen where they are least expected. Go ahead and think I'm paranoid like everyone else, but when something unexpected happens and you get hurt because of someone coming up behind you, do not even think of coming to me."
"Well if you two will please be silent, we can get this class going. If not, then perhaps you would enjoy sharing everything with the rest of us, hmm?" The annoyed voice made Sam jump in his seat, and Lillith's eyes flicked over to the teacher sitting at his desk with his arms crossed.
She raised an eyebrow at the man, and then shook her head a little. "Sorry, sir. We mean no disrespect."
That earned a scoff from the teacher and a dry look from Sam, before the idiot teacher started his class. Lillith had never really bothered to learn his name, and barely paid attention to his lessons. She didn't really need to anyway. Supposedly, she had an eidetic memory. At least, that's what she told everyone. She remembered every little detail about what the school was teaching them, and could recite the entire book the teacher had for this class, even if he asked for her to recite some random page. She smirked, poking Sam with the toe of her shoe as his name was called. He'd been nodding off, again. He glared back at her even as she smirked and made a shooing motion.
Sam rose from his seat with a sigh, grabbing his things that he needed for his genealogy report. She leaned back in her seat, snarling when Trent saw fit to throw something at Sam. The idiot teacher just wagged his finger at the class, saying something about respect or whatever. Like that was going to work. Lillith rolled her eyes, slipping her had to her plain blue backpack and itching to grab one of the pens that she had in there. Maybe she could embed one into the desk next to his hand as a warning? She was sorely tempted to, but Sam started talking about his Great Grandfather, Archibald. She shifted her attention to Sam once more, a bored expression on her face as he told the story about his Grandfather being an explorer, and started trying to sell the items he brought with him. She groaned letting her head hit the desk as she listened. Every time he tried selling something, she could see his grade diminishing. Poor kid.
She grabbed her pack when the bell rang and the teacher dismissed the class, saying that they should sleep in fear because there may be a quiz. Joy. She leaned against the wall as she waited for Sam, who came out of the classroom with a huge grin on his face. "It's an A-! I'm getting the car!" He laughed and actually did a dance before getting slapped on the back by Miles, who'd been rummaging in his locker a few feet away.
"Grats dude! You're gunna give me a ride in what ya get right? I mean, we bro's gotta stick together and all that." Miles playfully slugged Sam's shoulder, turning to Lillith with a sheepish expression when she coughed into her hand. "Uhh, sorry about that. I meant that friends should stick together?"
She simply rolled her eyes at his lame attempt to salvage the situation, knocking his hand away from her shoulder when he went to playfully slug her as well. "Do not hit me, even in a playful manner. You know that Miles. I don't think that the school Nurse would appreciate you visiting her once more because I don't think that the school Nurse would appreciate you visiting her once more, and I sure as hell don't want to see the principal again." Lillith shuddered as the two boys chuckled, turning and heading out of the school. Sam ran down the steps to his father's car as soon as he was out, muttering excuses to Miles and Lillith simply followed him.
Miles waved at Sam before heading to his parents, and Lillith went to her own midnight blue Chevy Malibu. She smiled a little, laying a hand on her car and glancing back at Sam. She had been the first of the trio to get a car, and it had been a gift her 'parents' had left for her when she moved to Tranquility. She had to wait to drive it, though, till she got her license. Her parents supposedly worked for some government agency, but the others didn't need to know the truth. She raised a hand as Sam took off, sliding into her car and the engine revved to life in moments. She sighed, shaking her head a little before heading home. There was one thing that she needed to do before she met with Sam and his father. She pulled into her driveway, settling her car in the garage before her form flickered, vanishing as the vehicle idled. She felt the familiar ping, smiling a little as her engine revved in excitement. 'Midnight to Bee. He met the requirement his Creator set for him. You ready to guard the kid?'An excited whirl sounded in the cab, and a chuckle followed after it. 'Alright kiddo, here's the plan.'
(30 minutes later)
A knock on the front door was answered by a slightly annoyed looking Ron. "What took you? You should have just come straight over so that I wouldn't waste time that I could be putting to better use!"
Lillith ducked her head, looking a bit sheepish. "Sorry, Mr. Witwicky. I just had to run home to go grab some food and drop off my school books."
Ron sighed, yelling for Sam and stepping outside. He scanned his beloved grass and grunted. "Well at least you stayed on the path." He grumbled and made his way to his car, followed by Lillith once Sam was outside. She hesitated and glanced at Sam before getting into the back seat quickly. Sam shook his head, muttering something about paranoid girls before getting in and buckling up. The trip was uneventful till Ron pulled into the Porsche parking lot. Sam actually thought his cheap Father was going to buy one of these for his first car? The kid was more of an idiot then Lillith had originally thought. She smiled a little though, when she caught a glimpse of a yellow Camaro pulling into the lot that they were actually going to be buying from. 'Showtime little Bee. Good luck kiddo.'
She shot Sam a grateful look when he pulled her out of the car, and warned her when a man came up behind them. He introduced himself as Bolivia, and started spouting out some practiced speech. She ignored the man and her eyes looked over the cars, seeming to be interested in the cars. She tugged on Sam's wrist, snorting when Bolivia said that 'cars pick the driver'. He had no idea. She earned odd looks for her snickers. She pulled him close to where the Camaro was parked, looking at the Cars when Sam pulled away, looking like he was mesmerized. Lillith smiled a little, looking at the Camaro and following the awed boy and giving a discreet 'thumbs-up' behind his back. She watched as he reverently ran his hand over the car, sliding into the seat and running a thumb over the symbol on the steering wheel. "This the one Sam?"
Sam jerked, blinking before nodding. He made a turning motion with his wrist and chuckled when Lillith turned and saw Bolivia who'd made his way over with Ron. Sam practically pouted when Bolivia said the car was priced at $5,ooo. Ron was not willing to pay that at all, and Sam was forced to get out of the car. Lillith chocked when the passenger door shot open to hit the car Bolivia was trying to talk Sam into. Bolivia looked flustered and started moving away down the lot, Ron and Sam following when a burst of energy left the Camaro. Lillith hissed, body flickering as the men ducked down. She glared at the Camaro that lowered on its axels slightly before Bolivia sold it for $4,000. Lillith smirked as the cash was exchanged and Sam was given the keys. She ran a hand over the hood as she walked around to the passenger door, slipping into the seat and relaxing as some final things were discussed. "Good job, Bee. Now comes the fun part." She chuckled a little as she closed her eyes, feeling the seat change slightly to be more comfortable, waiting for Sam to get in and take her back so she could get home.
