Zirconia: I just randomly wrote this after seeing all of the 'people get sucked into BW fics' so...tell me if I should finish it? I was bored, half asleep, and just started typing it. I don't know where it's going. Probably isn't even going to go anywhere if nobody likes it. Don't flame me but if something sounds stupid, tell me how to fix it? Zirconia is, of course, me. My oc is Cubic Zirconia so when you just see Zirconia that means it's the real me. Katie is my little cousin. Just fyi.
Lightning lit up the dark, stormy sky revealing
a girl with long brown hair and a long black coat. With a camera in
her hands, she was standing in the middle of the storm while
listening to the tornado sirens that blared through the air.
"Hey!
Charles! The funnel cloud is right over there!"
Her step
father came running, a camera is his hands as well, "About time!
Now, let's go back inside."
The funnel was moving away from
their home, fortunately. Upon entering the house Zirconia was greeted
by her hysterical mother and grandmother, who forced her into the
hallway. Hours went by and Zirconia woke up in the hallway with her
cat laying on her stomach, "Must've fallen asleep. They could've
at least woke me up...oh well." She stood up, taking the cat
with her and went to her room. It was still raining but the thunder
sounded farther away. She assumed the worst of the storm was gone so
put on her pajamas and cuddled up in her bed.
Firetruck
sirens woke her up just before dawn. She jumped out of bed and
quickly threw on some blue jeans, a black tank top, and some boots.
She grabbed her light green jacket and threw it around herself.
"Station 30 please respond to a structure fire on Ashley
Loop rd, involving a 10-50 PI."
"10-4." She heard
the scanner before running out after hearing them call out the fire
station most of her family were members of. She exited outside and
looked past the church, that was located beside her home, and gasped.
Flames lit up the night sky, turning it a deep blood red color,
unlike the other fires she had witnessed during the day. She knew she
shouldn't get near but naturally she ran to it, anyway.
"Curiosity
kill the cat!" Her grandmother's voice filled her mind but she
shrugged it off. They were asleep, anyway. Soon, her cousin went
flying past in his ford pickup with his siblings and father following
behind in the pontiac. She sat there from the church's porch watching
for the several hours it took to get the fire under control and,
eventually, put out. The wreck that had caused the whole thing was
cleared up and the driver taken to the hospital. Her little cousin
Katie was the one who found her, "THERE you are! Everyone was
looking for you! We're cleaning up after the storm last night! Come
with me to see if our special place is still ok!"
The
preteen had asked Zirconia's parents, along with her own, permission
to go down the trail in the woods to make sure their hang out spot
was still there. The whole way there Zirconia and Katie found
themselves climbing over fallen trees and pushing large branches off
of the path. Something caught Zirconia's eye after moving one of the
many branches. It was something sticking out of the ground, something
a rusty golden color. Katie pounced on Zirconia and wrapped her arms
around her neck after she knelled down to see what it was.
"The
rain must've washed away the dirt around it."
"What is
it?"
"Not....sure, yet." She reached a hand down
and touched it.
Big mistake.
The only thing she remembered
after that was a bright flashing light strike around the two then
everything went black.
Cheetor was overly bored since the
Predicons weren't active lately and patrol was dull. Although his
boredom vanished after something caught his eye, something near a
huge tree he had taken cat naps in numerous times. He crouched down
and made his way closer to the figure. When he noticed the figure
wasn't moving he went into robot mode and knelled next to it. Then it
hit him what it was.
"Cheetor to Optimus!"
"What
is it Cheetor?"
"I found a human female passed out
under a tree! She looks a little beat up!"
"A human
female? Bring her back to base!"
The Maximal gently turned
the girl over on her back and earned a groan from her. Her eyes
opened slightly and she looked up at Cheetor who introduced himself,
"Hi! I'm Cheetor, who're you?"
"My
name...Zirconia..." Being half out of it, it didn't quite click
that she was talking to a robot so said her name without thinking
before passing back out.
"I better get her to base, fast..."
"She seems healthy, as far as humans are concerned. She
should wake up soon." Rhinox had placed the girl on a
medical-like table and went back to the computer he had been
repairing. Cheetor stayed close to the human with Optimus, wanting to
ask questions once she was awake. It was around that time when
Blackarachnia and Rattrap entered the room, "-why I hate going
on patrol with you!"
"Eh, I don't much like going on
patrol with you either, Legs." The rat bot saw the human on the
table and took a double take, "What's that?"
Depth
Charge, who had been lounging in the corner was the one to answer
him, "It's called a human."
"I know that! I mean,
where'd it come from?"
"It is a she."
Blackarachnia walked past the two and studied the girl.
Surprisingly, her eyes opened and she sat up. It took her a
minute to get situated before she actually looked up. Rhinox stood
back up, "Good, she's awake."
Cheetor knew what was
coming before anyone else. Her eyes grew big and she screamed, jumped
off the table, then ran out of the room into one of the hallways.
"What was THAT all about?!"
"She saw your
face, Rat. Anyone would scream at that."
"Alright,
she-spider. You keep on and-"
"Shut up, Rattrap!"
Optimus sighed, "I knew that would happen. We need a way to
approach her without frightening her."
Zirconia refused
to stop running, even if she didn't know where she was going or, more
importantly, where she was to begin with. She found a small section
in the wall and sat down in it after she was sure she wasn't being
followed. Trying to gather her thoughts, she suddenly remembered her
cousin, "Katie! I need to find her!" with that she bolted
back up and jumped into the hallway...or rather someone. She fell
backwards onto the ground then looked up to see a blue robot that
resembled a sea creature.
"What the pit-" He didn't
even get to finish before she screamed once again, which alerted
Cheetor who was right around the corner.
"Depth Charge! What
did you do?"
"I didn't do anything! Shut it up!"
Silence. She had stopped screaming.
She didn't move but
rather stood there looking as if she was in shock, which intensified
when she saw a cheetah round the corner. Cheetor pranced up to her
and spoke, "Hi! I was the one who found you! Remember?"
She nodded and Depth Charged just snorted before turning around
and walking away. Cheetor turned back once he was gone and spoke
again, "Your name is Zirconia, right?"
He received a
nod.
"Can you talk?"
"Uh-huh..."
"I'm
not going to hurt you so you can relax."
She visibly relaxed
somewhat and managed to get out a question within her shock, "You
said your name is Cheetor?"
"Yep!"
"I
thought I was dreaming that..." She scratched her head,
nervously before jumping back up, "Katie!"
"Katie?
Ack-!" Cheetor was startled when she jumped up in front of his
face, "My cousin! Did-did you see a girl with black hair, about
this tall," She held her hand up to just below her chest, "About
as pale as me with a book bag?!"
"A what bag? No, I
didn't. Maybe you should ask Big-bot?"
"Who?"
"I'll take you to him and everyone else but you have to stay
calm, we won't hurt you, ok?"
".....Ok."
