This is a story about my OC, Nightbird, the name may be already taken but because of her coloring in her Cybertronian form and what kind she is I just had to name her Nightbird. This story will get better as in story line but I know that there will be grammar mistakes and all that kind of stuff so please tell me if I did anything that needs fixing.
Important character information: In this story I will use my OC Nightbird she is a pretender femme. I will give a back story so you will konw what i am talking about. She was a human before she was turned into a Cybertronian by Starscream at 10 years old as a sort of Decepticon super soldier project. She can transform into just about anythig. Her perfered Cybertronian form is seeker. Nightbird is a base color of midnight black with a shaphire blue trimming. In her human pretender mode she is 15 years old, 5'3", has black hair, white tanned skin, and has blue eyes (eyes were brown before 'Screamer got his greasy hands on her). She has three identical trpilet older brothers; they are 20 years old, 6'1", black hair, white tanned skin, and have brown eyes. Her siblings know nothing about what has happened to her all they know is that at ten years old her eye changed color. Her and her brother's parents were killed in a car accident when she was 12 and they also know nothing about what had happend. She goes to the base at 12AM and stays until 7AM every night.
Vocabulary: What these words mean in my story.
Seeker: A Cybertronian that has wings and will go insane if confined or prevented from flying for too long; also very closterphobic. In order to fly they have to lock their wings.
Wing locking: In order to fly the seeker has to lock their wings in place so they can't move but it causes the wings to become sensitive to the slightest change in wind speed and air pressure.
Female protection instinct: Extreme to the highest degree; males can get rid of it if they want but a female never can. The female is willing to die in order to protect her charge with the female's weapon always being her wings which fuse together into a sword.
Flyer: A Cybertronian with no wings but can still fly. They have no problem with going long periods of time without flying.
Grounder: A Cybertronian that cannot fly, are often scared of heights and are rarely closterphobic
Pretender: A Cybertronian that can transform into the natives of the particular planet they're on.
Pretender mark: A marks or marks somewhere on the pretender that depict how powerful the pretender is; there are four different marks going from most powerful to least:
Bird: More common to have a mainly seeker personality. Can transform into just about anything and can produce multiple holoforms at one time
Lion: More common to have a mainly grounder personality. Can only transform into a grounder, other land based creatures, their pretender form, and can only have three holoforms.
Griffith/Griffin: More common to have a mainly flyer personality. Can only transform into another Cybertronian that they have access to their CNA, their pretender form, and can only have two holoforms.
Wolf: Can be any personality just depends on what kind the parents were. The only difference between them and triple changers is their pretender mode; they can only have one holoform.
Personality: The Cybertronian form in which they are most comfortable.
Pretender protection instinct: Stronger than seeker and can occur in both male and female at the same strength. When feeling protective the pretender mark will glow therefore giving the offender a very clear warning that if ignored can mean the end of the offender's life.
Nightbird is a Bird Pretender.

"Hello my name is Nightbird and I live with my three brothers during the day but at night I live with a completely different family, one that if I don't be careful I could put my brothers in great danger. I am an Autobot, 15, and a pretender; what is a pretender you ask? Well that is me; I can turn from Cybertronian to any living thing I choose in one swift transformation, and any vehicle. Among Cybertronians I am special and the most powerful, I have red energon flowing through me at all times plus I am the only seeker in the Autobot ranks. You know how most mechs have guns, well I have electricity, and I can hack the most secure computers in the world faster than Soundwave when he's in a hurry. I used to be fully human with no worries what so ever but the Decepticon, Starscream, decided to attack while I was home alone, he wanted me because I was young and I was human; he knocked me out. When I woke up I learned from the Autobots that the Decepticons had turned me Cybertronian. I was given their comlink frequency so I could contact them, or more specifically their medic, Ratchet, so he could answer any questions I might have had, which there were many. I was 10 at the time and never told a soul; I go to the base at 12:00AM and return home at 7:00AM; I have done this for five years but it's getting harder since I have become of age, my three older brothers have been keeping closer and closer tabs on me and I think their starting to get suspicious that my room is so quiet at night. Oh ya! One more thing I scare the slag out Sunstreaker and Sideswipe XD"
It was a chilly morning as I flew home from base, with the cold, crisp early morning air slipping over my wings like water down a glacier. I could transwarp but I enjoyed, as with all seekers, the feeling of flying was the very discription from the Webster's Dictioary of the word Freedom. My pure black with saphire-blue trimming were the absolute perfect colors for flying at night. As I came within sight of my home and my spark sank, the lights were on, I quickly transformed into my human pretender mode, falling about one-hundred feet I then 'warped into my room, got in bed, and closed my eyes just in time for someone to knock on my door. I waited for a couple more knocks then faked drowsiness and moaned out to my nosey older brother "it's only seven in the slaggen morning leave me alone"
"Can I come in?" he asked through the door, I mumbled illegibly hopping he would take that as a sign that I was trying to go "back" to sleep; I was trying to go to sleep; I did need sleep but just not as much as I used too. My brother knocked again and this time I did not answer hopping that he would leave; after a few minutes he did and as I drifted into darkness I thought to myself {"I wonder how much longer I can keep this up? Or how much longer until the Decepticons will wait before attacking my brothers"}. My stinkin shock proof, drop proof, water proof, electronic, plastic rapped alarm-clock went off at ten letting me know it was time to get up with it's very annoying beeping mixed with under-tones that only a Cybertronian can hear. I pressed the snooze button for , what seemed, the fiftyith time. I got up, went down stairs and stored away some cereal and milk in my subspace so my brothers wouldn't get suspisious of the extra breakfast items. My brothers were still asleep but i knew they would be up in a few minutes so I went to watch TV, turning it on as I walked by by zapping from across the room then sat on the couch and chose my favorite show, shark week XD, this week was the worst for my brothers because I had watched so much that they were sick and tired of it and would change it IF they could find the remote. This week was why, this is just a personal opion, subspaces were created; my subspace was the premier place to hide the TV remote from my three older brothers. Soon they raced down the stairs, trying to see who could get to the bottom first, (many a bone has been broken by this doctors' paycheck approved game). As usual they all ended up at the bottom stiars in a laughing pile. They got up still laughing but when they saw what I was watching their faces dropped faster than Sunstreaker's when his perfect paint job gets scratched, dinged, or nicked in any way shape or form. They were sulking as they ate their breakfast acting as if this was their last, really hammering it on, fake gagging and saying that a shark was eating them from the inside out, or that they were pretty sure that the cereal was shark meat instead of processed foods. My brothers are triplets and love to let me know it by calling me an "only child" but for some reason after they call me an "only child" some of their important items seem to disappear out of nowhere only to turn up in the most mysterious of places.
My human pretender mode is what I looked like before the decepticon is: black hair, light skin, 5'5", and the only difference that came out of the Decepticons is that my eyes are now blue instead of black. My brothers are identical triplets with black hair, brown eyes, light skin, tall about 6'2", strong but wimpy (they're scarred of a itty, bitty spider), their names are Brandon, Jacob, and Dan; all twenty years of age. While their interest was in video game designing, mine is animals, being a pretender that can transform into them and all. The four of us live in a four bed, three bath, 2400sqft farm house about 25 miles from the city.
They had gotten done with their breakfast and were scouring the living-room seaching feverously for the almost non-existent remote; you can guess where it went XD, after about five minutes and some very unnecessary getting in my way, Brandon and Jacob went upstairs while Dan sat on the couch beside me. He was quiet until commercial, and then in a worried voice asked "What do you dream about? Why do you leave your room at night? Where do you go?" I had been dreaded these questions for five years and now I had been caught but there was no way I could tell him the full truth so I said casually
"Let's see… I dream about giant robots from the planet Cybertron living here on earth in a secret base" which wasn't a lie but Dan looked at me in way that said I was absolutely nuts but remained quiet "I leave my room at night because I love to look at the stars and imagine I'm flying through them" which wasn't a lie either but Dan was starting to look at me in a way that at base meant 'Wheeljack is radioactive again don't go near him' so I answered his last question "I go out back or go to the front every now and then" I smiled pleasantly at him while he set with his mouth agape then he said
"You really are stranger then I thought… but... can't you tell me the truth? I tell you the truth all the time so why can't you return the favor?" I thought a moment then said
"First off the only reason you tell me the truth is because you know that I know when your not telling the truth... but I wish I could but you would never understand" I looked at him sorrowfully "Tell ya what though, give me 2 hours to write down a confession and you can have the remote" I said whilst waving the remote in-front of his face enticenling. He sighed then reached for the remote I had extended to him only hesitating a little [he was the youngest of my brothers and almost never got the remote :'(] . I moved from the couch to the stairs and went to my room where I would be able to contact one of the mechs so I could create an alibis; once settled in my room thinking about who I needed to ask the doorbell rang, I quickly rushed down the stairs and to the door as I always did so in case it was a Decepticon holoform so I could give my brothers time to run if it was. When I answered the door the knocker was Jazz in his holoform standing at the door smiling at me.
"Who is it? Dan asked having already turned around in his eat on the plush green couch. I slammed the door in Jazz's holoformed face just as Dan got up and came over to me. I nonchalantly said
"Just some ding-dong-ditchers" I smiled at him then acted as if I suddenly remembered something "oh! I need to take the garbage out!" I slipped out the door and motioned for Jazz to go to the garage; I opened the garage and walked in with the holoformed mech at my heels at that point I turned to him "What have I told you all about coming here…. Oh ya! Wait! I know its simple… Don't. Come. To. My. House. While. My. Brothers. Are. Home.… now what do you want?" I quietly screeched at him, if silently screeching at someone is possible? He hesitated then said with his usual swagger
"I just thought that you would want to know that after you left base your brother, Dan, was seen, by Redalert, snooping in your room and since I was going past to town and thought I'd stop by and tell you" he then disappeared before I could answer obviously knowing that there would be a storm if he stayed any longer. I grabbed the trash-can and took it to the end of the driveway then stomped back into the house and right in front of Dan, growling out
"Why were you snooping in my room!?" he bit his lip, Brandon and Jacob came down and peaked into the room around the corner, none of them had ever seen, or heard me this mad and they had no idea what I could do, so I decided it was time to put a little fear into them for the first time in 5 years. I grabbed the front of Dan's shirt with one hand then with the other put it on his stomach and lifted him to the extent of my arm length, he yelped in surprise along with Brandon and Jacob who gasped in shock; I looked my elevated brother in the eyes and said threateningly "If I learn that you are in my room again without my permission I will hurt you, instead of just your pride!" with that I let him down and headed towards the steps. Brandon and Jacob gave me all the space I could ever want as I went past them while they tried they're hardest not a burst out laughing. Before I went into my room I heard Jacob laughingly say
"I think… we know what…what she's been doing… at night" at that point Brandon and Jacob were both laughing their heads off at their confused brother who was still staring up the stairs after me. After about an hour I was still in my room when I got a call from Sideswipe on my cell phone, which I rarely use, he was calling from the police station, again, he wanted me to come bail him out, again. The reason he calls me is because I will not tell the other Autobots if it's not too bad' I then sighed and asked
"What did you do this time?" he hesitated then mumbled
"I tried to get away"
"Sideswipe!" I yelled quietly "You have to call Prowl for that one. I will not let that one slide"
"But! But!"
"I don't really care, getting taken in for speeding and getting taken in for trying to get away are two completely different things, and I cannot get you out this time and not tell the others" then he whined
"But I was on my way to a B.A.T.T.L.E." he spelled out then continued talking "when these guys stopped me and Prowl called for backup" his voice was genuine and worried so I changed my mind and hung up. I warped to a quiet place near the jail and walked for about two minutes then came to the entrance. I walked in and was greeted by all the officers; the one who got Sides came over to me and said
"That was quick, I don't know how you get here so fast but I'm glad you're here I need to tell you about him and the amount of times he has been brought in" I looked at the officer nervously then asked
"Could you release him now?" the officer nodded at the door just as another officer brought Sideswipe through
"Sure. What's the hurry?" he questioned
"I would rather not see him at the moment. I was in the middle of something important at home and then 'he' called... again." I glared at Sideswipe and he quickly looked away from me. The arresting officer un-cuffed Sideswipe then motioned for me to come with him, I did and he led me into a room that was empty except for two chairs and a table. I stopped in the door and watched him sit down he looked at me then said realizing I was nervous
"Don't worry you're not in trouble it's just a quiet place to talk" I relaxed, walked in and sat down on the other chair. He had some papers in front of him that had Sideswipe's name on them, he looked at the top one then said "Sideswipe has been in here so many times that he is going to get in huge trouble if he comes in one more time udder a speeding charge. We will have to incarcerate him for quite a long time and as we both know he has a family that can't afford to lose him for that long. We have been quite generous when it comes to how many times we have let him go on bail but we do have to set a limit" I thought a moment then said
"I will talk to him but we've been talking about me staying with him or vice-versa that-a-way he wan't be able to drive without asking for the keys and someone to go with him" the officer wrote something down then asked
"Why do you think he attempted to get away this time?"
"Because, he's an idiot" I responded quickly and the officer smirked I then said "I really need to get home or my brothers will worry" he looked at me with a slightly worried expression then said
"They don't know you're here?" I stop halfway to the door mentally face palming, turned back to him and said casually
"They know I'm here but it usually it doesn't take this long" I waited for his response and hoped he would believe me; he thought for a minute then nodded accepting my story and I walked out. On the way out of the station I was greeted, by name, by several more officers. Once I exited the station and as I started to my favorite transwarping spot I felt like I was being followed so I ducked into an alley-way and hid behind a trash dumpster waiting to see if I was paranoid, which usually I'm not, or if I was right, which usually I am. I only had to wait a couple seconds for a person to come into the alley obviously looking for someone or something so I waited till he passed. I then jumped out from behind my hiding place and said in my perfect Thundercracker voice 'just one of the advantages of being a pretender' "Turn around and I will shoot" he stiffened then said tensely
"I'm only looking for my sister and was wandering where she was?" I recognized his voice; I was the one he was looking for and I had spoken to him in a voice that was not my own. I then said roughly still in my Thundercracker voice
"Sorry you lost your sister, wish I could help but I can't. Now when I leave do not look back and leave this area immediately or else" I quickly backed off and turned invisible, he stood stalk still for about a minute then walked quickly out of the alley and strait into the arms of one of the most dangerous gangs in the city.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Who knows what gang members would be doing near a police station but it works wonders for my story. Now this is the story I've been wanting to do since I started writing fanfiction but I just didn't have it yet. Please help me with sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, or anything else you see that needs fixing and please give me the good and the bad about this story, criticism won't kill me it can only make me try harder.
