Author's Note: Ok, so I know this chapter is short but it's one to introduce my OC, Mallory Banes, and give you the beginning of the plot. This will start at the beginning of Transformers and then go at least through Rise of the Fallen. I haven't decided if I will change Dark of the Moon and add it to this story yet. Enjoy and I own nothing but Mallory
Chapter One- What the Future Holds
Seventeen year old Mallory Banes sat in her last period history class hoping beyond hope that she would make it through the rest of the day without another incident. Mallory glanced at her twin sister Mikaela who offered a small but brilliant smile before turning to face the front again. Mikaela thought that Mallory's odd spells were seizures but in truth Mallory saw the future. Mallory was gifted with the ability to see things that might come to pass and to control wind to a certain extent. It made her different from everyone else around her but with Mikaela's support she never fell too far down the social ladder. Despite their differences the twins loved each other and that was what had kept them best friends for this long.
Sam Witwickey, the last student to do a report on this fine summer day, walked up to the front of the classroom and Mallory felt her muscles twitch. Please no, she thought but it was too late. She noticed Mikaela focus on Sam and his presentation and that was when it happened. Her muscles jerked, tensed, and then the vision began.
Sam and Mikaela were running from a black and white patrol car with the words "to punish and enslave" written in curving cursive on the side. Their emotions were disbelieving and desperate. Mallory jerked again and crashed to the floor as the vision-world changed. She was standing next to a massive black and white robot that looked eerily like the patrol car that had been chasing Sam and Mikaela. She felt oddly ashamed but her back was straight and her expression determined. A group of cars turned around the corner and transformed into more massive robots. Sam and Mikaela stepped out of one disguised as a camaro before it too transformed. Mikaela's wide and disbelieving eyes focused on Mallory and she looked as if she was about to cry. Mallory jerked again as the vision changed; no longer aware of the outside world around her. She was standing in the shadows of a massive building at Mission City. A large black and silver robot was about to tear a smaller silver one in half but she flared her fingers and a blast of air knocked the larger one flat. Then she was standing a few feet from that spot watching Sam and Mikaela kiss before Sam ran off with a strange metallic cube.
Mallory came too in the nurse's office with Mikaela hovering over her. "Are you okay?" the caramel haired girl asked and Mallory sat up, brushing her black curls out of her face before managing a smile.
"Fine sis," she responded easily as Mikaela helped her up. Mikaela smiled and handed over Mallory's light blue and silver back pack. Together the two slipped through the crowds where they parted ways. Mallory walked down the sidewalk towards home while Mikaela went over to talk to Trent, her current boyfriend. Mallory worked through her homework and then walked to the doctor's office for her check up; informing Dr. Alice Lendan that she had experienced another "seizure". All in all it seemed like a normal day but Mallory's latest vision haunted her. She had seen herself betray Mikaela and had no idea why. She would never betray her sister. It wasn't in her morals to betray someone she loved that much. That decided Mallory took a shower and slipped into bed, too exhausted to think anymore.
