Chapter 1: Change
Mikaela Banes, Forks, Washington:
I walked out of the airport into the rainy air of Forks, Washington. I missed California but I assumed it was for the best. Sam wanted to finish collage, and in that time my father had sent me out to live with Uncle Charlie and my cousin Bella. Ironhide had come to Forks with me to make sure I was safe. It started drizzling right when I got to Ironhide. "You know where we're going?" I asked him for the millionth time. Ironhide's engine purred in response, meaning he did. I nodded and started driving to Uncle Charlie's.
The drive was slow and rainy. I knew Ironhide didn't enjoy the rain that well, but I guess he would just have to get used to it; we both would. We came to a stop at a small house, and Bella and Uncle Charlie waiting on the door step. Ironhide knew when he could and couldn't transform. I got out of the car and got some of my luggage out when Uncle Charlie came and helped me. "Mikaela, you have grown, haven't you?" He asked, giving me a hug. I smiled a bit. "Yeah, I'm applying to some collages." I said as he helped me with my bags upstairs in the spare room, which was next to Bella's.
The room was a beige color, with white and red checkered curtains, the same patterned bed spread laid out on a twin size bed. A mahogany desk sat on the left side wall. That was pretty much the basics of the room. I laid down my laptop on the desk and started putting my clothes in the matching mahogany dressers and drawers.
Once I was done unpacking, I went downstairs to grab a snack out of the cupboard. I grabbed some crackers and went to go into the living room, only to run into an Uncle Charlie in fishing gear and heading out the door. "I was just going fishing with my old friend Billy and Bella was heading out to her boyfriend's house." He explained. I opened my mouth to speak when Charlie started talking again. "Why don't you bring Mikaela with you, Bella?" Charlie asked Bella. Bella nodded her head. "Um, okay." Bella said and walked out the door to her ratty old truck. "Why don't you let me drive and just navigate me?" I asked her as I climbed into the driver's seat of Ironhide.
Bella timidly got in the passenger's seat and started navigating me instantly. We ended up driving into a forest. "Bella, what's your boyfriend's name?" I asked, trying to make small talk. "Edward," She said simply. "What's he—" Bella cut me off, with an annoyed face. "Why are you trying to get along with me now, Mikaela? What makes you wanna get to know me, be nice to me now? We never liked each other, and now all of a sudden you move in and that changes everything? Well?" She ranted. I was struck in awe.
It looked like she got Ironhide mad enough to transform right in the middle of the forest, throwing Bella and I off to the side. "Ironhide, it's okay. She wasn't gonna hurt me." I told Ironhide, making him feel a little better. He growled as Bella stared at him in shock. "Oh my…" She trailed off. "What the hell is this?" Bella raged. I took a deep breath, as so did she. Ironhide stood there patiently, waiting for the word to beat her; which was never gonna happen. "Bella, this is Ironhide. He's my Transformer, and my guardian. Ironhide, this is Bella." I introduced. Bella stood there awkwardly. "Hello, I am Ironhide." Ironhide said, holding out his overly sized robot hand trying to make nice. This was going well. Bella shakily took the huge hand into her small one and shook it. "Bella," She mumbled. She was taking this very well. I would have thought she would of started screaming and freaking out. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself from this whole mishap. "Can we pretend this never happened?" I asked Bella with a smile. She nodded, still probably confused. "Ironhide, can you transform back so we can get to Bella's boyfriend's house?" I asked. He shifted back into his car-self. I hopped gladly back into the driver's seat. "You coming?" I called to Bella. She slipped into the passenger seat with a quite sound that sounded like "shmurf".
We were silent the whole rest of the way, which wasn't that long. We pulled up to a mansion. "This place is amazing." I breathed out. I heard whistling as Bella got out. "Nice car, Bells!" A male voice boomed. I got out of Ironhide, and was looking at a very muscular man with dark brown hair and golden eyes. I also noticed he had very pale skin. Bella laughed as the man gave Bella a hug. "No, I wish. This is my cousin Mikaela's car." She said as I stepped over to them. "I'm Emmett!" He said. "You're Bella's boyfriend?" I asked, chuckling. He started laughing hysterically. That's a bit random, I thought. "No, no, no, I am defiantly not this klutz' boyfriend." He said and started laughing again. Bella frowned, and then lightly punched his muscular arm, like she was afraid she'd break her hand. "That's right, little sister, don't wanna break your hand again." Emmett said playfully.
I smiled at this site, just because it was so funny. Suddenly, a little pixie-like female, a male with a wavy/curly blonde hair do, and a bronze haired guy came out of the mansion. "Hello! I'm Alice!" The pixie one said and came over and hugged me. I just stood there, with an annoyed face on. She let go and smiled as she continued. "That's Jasper, my boyfriend." She said, pointing at the wavy/curly blonde one. He gave a slight smile and waved. "That's Edward, Bella's boyfriend." She said pointing at bronze hair boy.
"I'm Mikaela, Bella's cousin." I introduced. Bella went over to Edward and gave him a kiss. "Bells, I don't think I'm gonna stay But nice meeting you guys!" I said and went into Ironhide, him speeding off before I could even look like I was driving.
As we were driving, Ironhide came to an abrupt stop. There was an oncoming car that looked like Bumblebee. That's when it hit me; it was Bumblebee.
