(I don't own Transformers, except my character Shadowrunner (right now known as Amber). For those who are not familiar with horse colors grulla is a grey color. Sorry its a short chapter to start with but its 1:26 in the morning and I've got work in the morning)
Ch 1: Taken
**Amber's POV**
Today started like any other, which was wanting to shoot the rooster at 6:00am for waking me up on a Saturday morning. Mustering the strength and awareness to walk over the window to open it and shout, "Buster Shut Up!"
Silentless. I about ducked back into my room to crash for a few more hours, but got stopped by a loud neigh. Looking back out I saw my horse, Storm.
"Can I at least sleep a little more?" I asked my horse. All I got was a loud snort, which was a clear no.
"Fine I'm coming," I said turning around to get dressed. I came down the stairs whereing my usual torn jeans and tank top, with boots in hand.
"Amber," I heard my mom call me back up the stairs.
"Yeah," I called back up deciding to put my boots on while sitting on the stairs to listen.
"Can you run into town and pick up some things from the hardware store?"
"Yeah, what do you need?"
"Just some nails for the fence. Later today I need to ride up along the fence and replace some of the nails?"
"Ok. I guess I'll feed everyone when I get back."
"If you do this for me I'll feed everyone for ya, well everyone except Storm I take it."
"You got that right. Love ya," I shouted as I ran out the door. As Storm did every morning he was waiting right there at the front door for me. Storm was my best friend in the world and sadly that was probably very literal. He was a large grulla mustang with blue eyes and a bold lightning bolt down his face. Grabbing his bridle and saddle out of his stall and putting it on him. We were on our way away from our little farm to the quiet little town of Jasper, Nevada.
Nice thing about Jasper no one seemed to care about me riding Storm into town. Conceding I did it every day to get to school. Most of the other teens at school teased be for it. Well, Storm and I got we needed, yet not without people asking me to pet Storm. Everything seemed normal.
Well almost everything. It didn't long to notice the black van following us especially when we started out of town. The van started out slow in town and started to speed up as soon as we got passed the last town marker. I was going to let the van pass, but Storm suddenly jumped forward in a full gallop when the van's nose got right at his side. This caused the van to speed up to catch up.
"Whoa!" was all I could say to this. I was guessing the van unnerved Storm as much as me.
"Well, boy these guys want to play cat and mouse. How about we give them a run for their money," I called to Storm. As if he read my mind, Storm turned off road and started running straight into the nearby canyons.
Looking back all I saw was the van struggling, but still behind us.
" Sorry mom," I whispered out loud as I tore open the paper bag containing the nails and let them fall down to the ground behind us to be ran over the van. All I heard was the van shriek to a halt.
"Good boy! I think we lost them!" I was able to shout as we went around a corner, only to be greeted by shearing pain and darkness. The last thing I remembered was Storm falling over me still on his back and the sounds a people shouting.
