School. And sports. I don't think there needs to be any elaboration there. I've solved my problems by writing my stuff down by hand during the week and then typing it on the weekend. It tried writing stuff for next generation, but my brain was like 'Nope! Im gonna give you a completely different story idea'. So this brain-child came into being. Enjoyz.
I don't own transformers. Hasbro does, sadly. The two girls here, however, are mine.
'Inner thoughts'
"HEY!" A voice yelled. "WAKE UP!"
The young woman opened her eyes in delirium. Kneeling over her was a girl, about twelve years of age. Wavy locks of dirty blonde hair hung down from her face. Her skin was pale, betraying that she lacked exposure to natural light. Her eyes stood out in stark contrast from the rest of her features, glaring a vibrant red at the young woman.
The object of her gaze had a thin, yet sturdy frame. Chocolate brown locks abruptly ended at her shoulders. Her skin, as well, contained an absence of vitamin D. Her own eyes were an effervescent, almost glowing, blue.
The child became excited by the woman's awakening. "Finally! I thought you'd never wake up!" The woman stared at the child, not reacting to her statement. The child stared back thoughtfully, processing the woman's unresponsiveness. "Hm, your brain must not be as awake as you are." She flashed a youthful smile. "Minor setback! Nothing we can't deal with on the fly."
The child propped the woman up into a sitting position. She then struggled for several minutes, vainly attempting to get her to stand. When she realized that she was making no progress, she gave up and collapsed to the ground in exhaustion. "Can you even stand up?" She inquired tiredly. The woman rose from the floor with ease at her request.
The girl stared with comical shock. "Could you do that the whole time?!" The woman nodded in acknowledgement. "Well fuck me." The girl hopped to her feet with renewed vigor. "Anyways! Time is of the essence, and we can afford to waste no more. Can you run?" She nodded again. "Good, follow me."
Once they reached the door, the girl entered a code into a key pad. "We can't let anyone see us." She warned as the door quietly retracted into the wall, exposing the outside hallway. The ceiling, walls, and floor were all comprised of cement. Industrial lights were strung at regular intervals from the ceiling, burning away all shadows with their false light.
The girl started off with a cautioned jog. The woman followed, mimicking her movements perfectly. She took this time to study the child before her. She wore tennis shoes and tight fitting clothes. Her footfalls were silent and quick. She went through the identical hallways with planned precision. 'She has thoroughly thought this escape through. The child is very clever.' She concluded.
They met little resistance, only having to hide twice to avoid being spotted. Their eventual destination was a very large parking garage. The rows were filled with hundreds of identical armored vehicles. The child weaved through them, disagreeing with each new car for a reason that the woman could not fathom. 'These vehicles are obviously are our means of escape. So why is she wasting time disregarding all of them? They contain no apparent differences.'
As they traveled further, they came across a new set of cars. This set appeared to be a more average model, four door sedans. She ran up to one at random, flung open the driver side door, and seated herself behind the steering wheel. The woman placed herself beside the girl in the passenger seat. The keys already in the ignition, the girl twisted them and brought the engine to life. They pulled out of the parking space and drove through the maze of aisles until they found a large garage door. The door lifted as they approached. Once the car exited from the garage, the girl slammed on the gas and the vehicle tore off like a bat out of hell.
The asphalt road they drove on twisted its way through the large expanse of desert in which it existed. The road eventually met a larger one, and they duo traveled upon this one for a few hours until it was well into the night. They eventually stopped at a highway rest station when the girl declared that they were 'Far enough out of the danger zone to last them one night. The only other life at the station when they pulled in was two truck drivers and a homeless bum sleeping on a bench.
The girl reclined her seat so that she could lie down in a more comfortable position. Finally, the woman broke her code of silence. "From whom is it that we are fleeing?" her monotone voice inquired.
The girl sat up in shock, but relaxed when she realized who had spoken. She had, up to this point, believed that the woman was not capable of speech. She lay back down as she answered, "My dad. I got tired of him being a douche, so I up and left. I doubt he cares though. The dick never gave a fuck about me, only his job."
"Then for what purpose am I accompanying you?"
Resting her hands behind her head, she answered, "Company. I didn't want to get lonely on my travels." There was a gap of silence before she continued. "Speaking of, I neglected to introduce myself. I'm Amy."
The woman took note of this information before replying, "I have no designation."
Amy, again, looked at the woman with comical shock. "No name? Well then, now I guess we have to give you a name." Amy chewed her nails in thought and gazed at her surroundings for inspiration. Several minutes passed before something caught her attention. A small tag was on the arm of the woman's body suit that she had on since Amy had freed her. "Well, this tag classifies you as 'QXK-837'. Hm….." Then, inspiration struck. "How about Kate!" Amy suggested excitedly.
The woman pondered the name for several minutes before responding. "I accept this designation, 'Kate'."
Amy smiled as she closed her eyes. "Awesomenesses. Amy and Kate. We'll be the best dynamic duo since Batman and Robin." Upon stating her claim, she fell to sleep. Kate, however, remained awake for the remainder of the night. She kept a constant vigil for anything that might be considered a danger, but she also contemplated the child beside her. She reviewed the information she had learned about the girl. 'She holds a strong contempt for her father. She obviously lived in the location from which we fled. So her father must work there. Amy mentioned nothing about her mother, so she must not be present in her life. I wonder when Amy plans on going.' Kate turned to look at the child. 'I will ask her in the morning. She needs to rest.'
The night continued in silence, Kate being its only observant. The earth continued its rotation and day returned to the girls in the stolen car. Amy woke from her rest and declared the she needed to go to the bathroom before continuing. She returned from the bathroom and drove the car back onto the highway. From there, their car joined the many others, like a school of mechanical fish in a waterless ocean.
There, mon ami, is the first chapter. Tell me if u likez/wantz more. Feedback is nice and appreciated. AND if anyone wants to guess at whom Kate and Amy ran away from, be my guest. There might be a little prize for the person who gets it right! *Hint* they are part of the transformers franchise. Adios!
