Chapter 1

Discovery

The year was 2004 when I was 14 living in a small town in Maine. I always loved our forests up here in the summer. Everything was so green and the birds all singing. It was a peaceful time. The trees are so big and tall that you feel like an ant walking through blades of grass. The sky was clear that day and it was the first day of summer vacation.

I was always a fan of nature. I'm actually thinking about becoming a biologist sometime. I would always bring food to the woods because the wildlife is so big around here you never know what might stop by. Well that very same day when I was out in the woods I saw a baby deer grazing near by. I slowly held up some lettuce that I had with me for my sandwich.

The baby deer raised it's head and looked at me. At first I thought it was going to runaway since I was spotted, but instead the deer slowly came over to me and took the lettuce out of my hands. I had to smile and I was able to pet the deer. After it was done eating the piece of lettuce it started sniffing me to see if I had anymore food to give.

"Okay. Okay. Here you go." I said giving it a piece of bread not knowing if it would take it.

The deer sniffed it and slowly took it away from me and started eating it. The more I fed it the tamer it got. During that same day after I had fed the deer. I decided to take a walk in the forest. As I walked I noticed that some gigantic trees were knocked over. It looked like that there was a battle here of some kind. It was not from humans because no one could knock down 100 year old trees.

Since I was curious I followed the trail of fallen down trees until I found something gigantic lying down. I really couldn't tell what it was, but what I could tell it was mostly red and blue and some light grey on certain parts of its body. I stopped there wondering if I should go on or stay there or even run away and not look back. Well I decided to walk on forward the giant thing.

As I made it closer to the giant I noticed that it had a shape of a human except it kinda looked like some hind of vehicle. I stopped for a second and heard something move from where the giant was at. I eased forward a little bit and saw something move from the giant. I kept my mouth shut or else I could have let out a terrifying scream. Still I was a little nervous, but like an idiot would do I kept on walking until I was at the feet of the giant.

I looked at it for some time and saw it was made of metal. I walked around the feet and saw a gigantic hand lying on the ground. I think my eyes were as big as saucers when I saw that. I kept walking forward until I was in reach of its hand. I took a deep breath and laid my hand on the giant one. The hand was really smooth and cold. It was very shocking and I couldn't draw my hand away from it.

I then whispered to myself, "Wow."

As I kept my hand on the giant and I couldn't help, but feel like I was being watched by something. I turned around expected to find a friend of mine sneaking up on me, but there was no one. I still had that feeling and couldn't shake it off. Finally I looked up and saw the face of the giant staring down at me with gold eyes. I opened my mouth to scream, but nothing came out.

I started walking backwards trying to scream for help or something. The metal giant robot saw this and I heard it take a breath and say in a deep metallic voice, "Don't worry little one. I will not hurt you."

I finally was able to let out my scream and screamed as loud as I could. A giant finger cover my mouth slowly and said, "Shhh…its okay. I won't hurt you."

I finally stopped screaming and looked up at the giant and saw something in its eyes that I didn't notice before. There was pain in his eyes and I didn't realize it until now that when he had spoken to me there was pain. The finger dropped to the ground and I looked around and saw the side of its body. He had some yellow stuff running down his side. It kind of looked like the bugs you squished that have that yellow stuff come out of them.

I slowly started walking towards it but was stopped when the giant put his metal hand over the yellow liquid and said, "Don't get near that."

I looked up at him with a confused look and asked, "Why?"

He took a deep breath obviously in pain and said, "This is energon not blood. This will eat up your body."

I looked up at him and asked, "What is energon?"

I heard him laugh, "You never stop asking questions do you? Well energon is like our blood. You humans have red water like liquid that runs through your veins. Well we transformers have energon and if we loose too much we will die."

After he said that my eyes grew big. I couldn't let my friend die from bleeding to death. So I asked yet another question, "How can I stop the bleeding?"
"What!?" he asked surprised.

"I said how can I stop the bleeding!"

He saw the look on my face and saw I was serious about it and he asked, "Do you have a cell phone?"

"Yes." I replied pulling it out of my bag of goodies.

He gave me a number to call and gave me the name of the transformer that would most likely answer.

I dialed the number and waited for the phone to pick up. Finally it did and on the other line a male metallic voice answered, "This is Red Alert what is your emergency?"

"Hi, my name is Victoria Sumpter and I found a friend of yours lying in the forest in Maine. His name is Optimus Prime and is seriously injured."

I hung up the phone and looked up at Optimus and said, "He'll be here soon."

Optimus gave a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you Victoria for doing that. I could have done it myself, but when I was in battle Megatron broke my communicator."

I smiled and replied, "You're welcome Optimus."

Soon there stood a giant robot and I assumed it was Red Alert. He ran to Optimus and helped him sit up and asked, "What happened Optimus sir?"

"I was ambushed by Megatron when I came up here for a minicon. He took me down and took out my communicator." replied Optimus.

Red Alert helped him up to his feet. Then Optimus said, "I would have died if it weren't for this brave young lady. I have my life to thank her for."

I felt my face start to turn red and I bowed my head so no one could see. I also felt very uncomfortable when the two were staring down at me. I looked up and Red Alert bent down and said, "Victoria, we need to go now. I need to fix Optimus's injuries. You won't need to worry about being part of a war."

"Could I come with you?" I asked.

"No, Victoria, but if you need any help just give us a call and we'll be there as fast as we can."

I nodded my head in understanding and looked at Optimus who was covering his wound.

"Thank you again Victoria." he said just as he started to warp out of my little state.
