Chapter 1
An Old Face
I waited in my room the whole day. I couldn't believe that my very best friend was alive. When I saw her I was going to make sure I'd gave her a piece of my mind for worrying me and her family all this time. She had said she lost track of time. Gosh…it had been around two years since she went missing and she suddenly gives me this letter saying she was coming home and she had a surprise for me. I sighed and sat in my room on my bed waiting for something to happen. She didn't say when she was coming but it had to be soon or else she wouldn't have sent it this early.
"Hey Annie?! Annie!" My mother called me.
I quickly ran out of my room and ran up to my mom who seemed very excited. I walked to the living room and standing there was Victoria. I froze in my tracks and looked at the young woman standing in front of me. It was if she hadn't changed. "Tori?" I asked slowly walking closer.
"Hey Annie," she replied extending her arms for me. I quickly ran at her and hugged her.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? YOU HAVE BEEN PRONOUNCED DEAD FOR TWO YEARS! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR YOU!" I cried out. Tears slowly started filling my eyes and I quickly turned around, "I thought I lost you all this time. You never called, never wrote…your family had a funeral for you…I had to go there and watch as they buried an empty coffin."
"I'm sorry Annie…but where I went I couldn't come home easy." She replied putting a hand on my shoulder.
My mother watched us as we talked she brought in some cookies for us to eat and I quickly picked up one and stuffed it in my mouth. I saw that Victoria didn't even touch them. "You can go ahead have some I know they're your favorite." I then suddenly saw pain in her eyes for the first time but then it quickly disappeared and she reached for a cookie and slowly bit into it.
She closed her eyes savoring the taste of the cookie. "It's better than I remember the." She whispered.
"You haven't had cookies in the two years you have been gone?" I asked. She shook her head no and I think my jaw dropped. "You mean no sweets or cookies?" She continued to shake her head up and down as I named off all this stuff. I think I would have fainted. My mom then entered again and brought out more cookies fresh out of the oven.
"Eat up darling we haven't seen you in years." She spoke to Tori.
"I'd love to…but if Annie says is true I better get to my folks and show them that I'm okay." Victoria said standing up. I stood up with her and said, "I better go with her so that her parents don't kill her.
When we got outside there parked was a semi. "You drive a truck now?" I asked in disbelief and disappointed to see this.
"You'll find out soon enough why I drive this." She replied and hopped into the driver's seat. I slowly climbed into the cab and sat in the passenger seat. She turned on the truck and we backed out of the driveway and started heading over to her place. I could tell she was nervous and she turned on the radio. Something about the music made the whole place warm and safe. This seemed to ease her and we continued until we got to her place. Victoria took a deep breath in and opened the door and I exited the cab also. We walked to the front door and Victoria rang the doorbell. At first no one answered, but then we heard someone run to the door.
"I got it Dan!" A woman yelled answering the door. "Hi may I…" The woman suddenly stopped when she saw Victoria standing there with me.
"Victoria?" she asked. Victoria nodded her head and the two embraced. "DAN! DAN!"
The man known Dan came running to the door and was about to ask what was the matter and then he saw his daughter and he quickly embraced her in his arms. I watched as they embraced their daughter. "Where have you been!?" they exclaimed, then they looked at the semi. "Why are you driving a semi?" her father asked.
"Daddy…mom…Annie…can we go inside and I'll tell you there." She replied uneasy and we followed her inside to the family room. There were pictures up of her everywhere. Then the story started. What she started telling us seemed impossible, she running into an alien species? Maybe we should put her in a mental institution.
"Darling…do you think that maybe the people who kidnapped you gave you something that made you imagine all this?" asked her father. I could see anger form in her eyes.
"Okay you want me to prove it to you?" she asked irritated.
We all walked outside to where the semi was and suddenly she disappeared. "What the hell?" I exclaimed and then everything around us went quiet. Suddenly the trailer to the semi opened up and a giant white tiger came out
"Annie." The tiger spoke and then transformed.
"Wow…"I whispered as I watched the tiger transform and then next thing we knew the truck transformed.
"Mom…Dad…I'd like to introduce you to your son-in-law." She spoke. My jaw dropped. Did she actually get married to giant robot? "His name is Optimus Prime and he's the leader of the Autobots. He saved my life when I was nearly dead."
Her parents looked up at him and he bent down to our level. "You raised a real sweet daughter. I'm sorry she has been away from you for so long." He spoke his deep voice radiating through our skins.
I looked over at her parents and as I was afraid. Her dad started yelling at the Autobot leader. "YOU DARE TAKE HER AWAY FROM US! MAKING US BELIEVE SHE IS DEAD FOR TWO YEARS AND THEN BRING HER BACK!?" He yelled.
"I'm sorry…but we couldn't allow the human race know of our existence." Optimus replied sadly.
"OH I SEE CARING ABOUT YOUR OWN EXISTANCE AND NOT OUR LITTLE GIRL! THOUGH YOU SAY YOU CARE ABOUT HER BECAUSE YOU ARE MARRIED TO HER! I WILL CALL THE MILITARY ON YOU AND GET YOU THROWN OFF THIS PLANET!" he screamed.
I looked over at Victoria and Optimus. I was mad at them too for staying away, but surely I wouldn't go that far…okay I would go over board like he is doing right now and probably even worse. I had lost my 'sister' for two years and she suddenly shows up out of nowhere and she's not even human any more. I sighed as I thought about it. It was kinda depressing.
"So how have you been Annie?" Victoria suddenly asked me.
"Depressed." I replied glaring at her. She knew what I meant and looked away from me. If she were human she'd be looking down, but since she wasn't any more she had to look down to me to even see me.
"Do you think its best we go?" Optimus asked.
"Yeah, we'll let Megatron come down soon…he's made progress with his temper and liking humans." I heard them whispering to one another.
They both suddenly looked down at me and then said, "We'll see you again very soon." With that said they both transformed, but instead of Tori transforming into a tiger she transformed into a jet and shot up into the sky and Optimus disappeared off the driveway. I stood there all alone shocked at what a day this had turned out to bed. Victoria's parents didn't come back out and I started walking a long way back home.
So should I keep going with it? Please let me know by reviewing!
