A/N: This is my first attempt at Transformers fanfiction, so please be kind. This story is AU, from a mixture of continuities.

Prologue
I went to bed as usual around midnight. I'd been alternating between the antics of my two ginger kittens, who were roughhousing on the floor, and fanfic nets latest Transformers story.
I'm a huge scifi buff, but thats because I have a secret...

Flashback
Two adult human males shuffle a small human-looking child into the laboratory. The child is thin and malnourished, perhaps four or five years old. The men roughly drag her into a large wire crate, before turning to argue with the scientist in charge.
"Lady Raewyn needs the child to disappear. That brat is the only thing standing between her Ladyship, and three billion pounds of cold hard cash." Redd said, bemused at his mistress's love of the high life.
"What do I care about Her Majesty's pet aliens?" Dr Elden grumbled, as he continued to work.
"We dispatched the Alien, but his adopted daughter survived. We've used the girl's dead twin to convince the authorities that the child is dead, so Lady Raewyn can inherit, but this alien brat can't be killed. It just turns into a ball of energy and turns back into a living child again!" Johnson explained.
"We need you to use the captured Space Bridge to remove the child from this dimension permanently." Redd added smugly.
"Well, if you don't care whether the child lives then that's easily fixed." Dr Elden replied.
Dr Elden quickly programmes in a set of co-ordinates that in theory should send the child to a parallel universe. Redd and Johnson quickly strip the child of her designer clothes and priceless jewellery, before tying her hands and feet together.
The mad doctor opens the portal in a swirling mass of green energy, before Redd and Johnson pitch the naked child into the portal. The portal is closed after three seconds and the scientist begins to write his notes.
While his back is turned, Johnson puts a hollowpoint in the base of his skull.

Present
As I settled in my worn excuse for a bed, I thought back on the last thirty-five years I had spent in this parallel universe.
I had been taken in by a pair of alcholics, who passed me off as their granddaughter. They had been paid for years to care for me before their neglect came to the welfare department's attention, and I was made a ward of the state.
Numerous foster homes later, I finally aged out of the system. I married the first guy to show me any attention, and spent the next ten years in a waking nightmare, before I finally fled domestic violence hell.
In the twelve years since then, I'd gotten a divorce, sued the state for the abuses I'd suffered in their 'care', and finally brought my own postage stamp sized patch of paradise. Ok, so I lived in a plywood cabin, with a longdrop outhouse, a single outside cold tap, and only enough solar power to power my tablet and phone, but it was all mine.
I'd had amnesia when I first arrived, something that was encouraged by my 'Grandparents'. It had only been in the last twenty years that my memory had been restored. Not that it helped much. I could not get the required energy I needed to sparkform, which had severely hampered my natural healing ability. My body was slowly failing as I aged.
My race were primarily beings of energy, we could fleshform, but it was unnatural to remain in fleshform for extended periods. Lack of the correct energy type had forced me into keeping the human form my adopted father had helped me form as a young child when we were on Earth as he had been the Ava'ri ambassador to my natural version of Earth.
His murder, along with the holocaust of the rest of the Ava'ri refugees left only my natural mother, and all the resources and wealth we had brought with us to our new home. She had murdered her entire people so she could live like a human rockstar. My twin sister had died because she had not yet learnt how to shift form by herself. I had lived but only just.
I finally fell asleep only to be woken by a falling sensation...
