The young woman held her daughters hand tighter as they ran through the woods. They heard the men shouting at them but it only made them run faster. If they were caught they'd die. The mother nearly fell from a small cliff, not big enough to kill you, but it'd still hurt. Just then, the ground gave way and they tumbled to the bottom of the muddy ravine. The yelling was getting louder and they were trapped. Her daughter, barely 11, got up and started to run down the bank of a river. The mother followed and soon caught up. They both stopped in their tracks as they saw a large blue robot standing talking to a yellow and black one. The mother knew automatically what she had to do to save her only child. The two robots turned towards them with surprise. The mother collapsed in tears.
"Please they're trying to kill us!" she pleaded. The daughter stood in silence; her voice is her enemy.
"What do you mean? Who's trying to kill you?" the blue robot said with a feminine voice.
"There's no time! Please save my daughter! Take her with you if you're leaving this place! Please you're her only chance at survival! She can't speak and she's not a bother!" the young mother begged. The yellow one kneeled down and made a buzzing sound.
"Bee what would Optimus say?" the blue one asked. Bee ignored her and gently picked up the child. "Okay I guess she's coming with us. What about you?" but the woman had disappeared. Obviously she only cared about the life of the young girl; who looked up at Bee with her large emerald eyes. Her wavy strawberry/blonde hair was blowing in the slight breeze. "Do you have a name?" the girl looked down and pointed at the ground. Bee put her down and the girl wrote in the mud with a stick, "Esmeralda."
"My name's Arcee and that's Bee. We're autobots from the planet Cybertron. There are more of us but we were sent on a mission from our base for energon." The blue bot said.
"What's energon and what's an autobot?" Esmeralda wrote. Arcee explained everything to her. "Why isn't Bee talking?" she finally wrote.
"Bee can't talk," Arcee said while glancing at Bee.
"What happens now?" was her response. They transformed into motor vehicles. Arcee was a blue motorcycle and Bee was a yellow and black Camaro.
"You get in Bee and we take you to our base. Looks like you're staying with us for a while kid." Arcee said. Esmeralda got in Bee and left for the base. A green/blue portal opened in front of them. "That's our ride." Esmeralda heard Arcee say as they drove through it and into a large room with more than one robot in it.
I got the name Esmeralda from the gypsy in the Disney movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She was my favorite character. :)
