It's time for Chapter 2! I love the reviews you guys gave and we're glad you enjoyed it. Nothing much except that when April (the month not my OC) hits, I'll be gone. Taking the month off to relax my mind and think things through a bit. I'll stop talking. Enjoy the read!
"Talking…."
"Mini bots talking…"
"Cybertronian language…"
"Anne's language…"
oOo
(4 years later)
"Mommy! Mommy, wake up!" four tiny voices shouted. I grumbled and pulled the covers over my head.
"It's too early! Go back into hibernation!" I protested.
"But it's 7 o'clock…" Honey spoke.
"Shit! Why didn't you tell me!" I threw off the covers and bolted for the bathroom. After my quick shower, I got dressed in my back skinny jeans, blue short-sleeved shirt, and my DC sneakers. Ally handed me my brush as the others got my bag ready.
"It's Friday April. Would you like me to pack the chargers?" Med-X asked.
"Yes, thank you. Get your sisters ready please." I said brushing my hair then my teeth. After I checked myself in the mirror, I grabbed my book bag and my mini-case, then headed down stairs.
"Sam and your father are waiting. Remember they're going car shopping!" she called as I headed out the door where my adoptive father and brother are waiting.
"You're late."Ron, who I sometimes call dad, said.
"I know, I know. I was up all last night drawing. I had another one of those dreams again. You know, the one about the red eye freak and the giant cube?" I told him.
"That's what, the 10th time this month? You and those dreams April, this isn't normal." Ron spoke. He was right, this wasn't normal.
"I don't know dad. Maybe she should have the dreams. She can turn out like out great-grandfather and go mad. She already started to draw those weird signs." I knew Sam was kidding but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to whack him in the back of the head, "OW! What was that for?"
"For being a block head. And on that note, remember Ron, Anne is coming home with us." I told him.
"Alright then. Anyone else?" Ron asked.
"Musia, Sarah, and Elexia are coming over tomorrow. I told Anne I'll spend one on one time with her. And Sam, no mute jokes." I told Sam.
"Fine, no mute jokes but I still pick on Sarah." Sam said jokingly. Sam loves to pick fights with her, like a brother would pick on his little sister.
"Have a good day you two. And Sam!" Ron called as I got the case from the back seat, "one more A." Sam nodded and we headed for school. I waved to Sam as I headed for the technology lab as Sam went to English.
Once I opened the door to the technology lab, Mr. Coffee my tech. teacher waved from his busted up vintage desk in the back of the room. The rest of the nine kids he had, had already begun their work or their projects.
"Momma, let us out." Charm asked. I placed the case down on the table and unlocked the top. I got out my materials for Hammers eye before opening the top. I watched as my girls flew up and over to Mr. Coffee's desk.
"Hello girls." Mr. Coffee chuckled and patted their heads.
"Good morning Mr. Coffee." They said together and flew off in different directions. Mr. Coffee was impressed that built them and allowed me to bring them in on Fridays. He loved to watch them and get new ideas for the book he had been writing for the past year. Wonderful mind he has, that he can express his ideas through his hands and even put them on paper. I happen to like his class because I can get my work done here and be able to watch my kids at the same time. I love being able to spend time with them.
Five minutes pasted when I felt someone warp their hands around my waist. I patted the hands and pointed to the seat next to me. The stool creaked when the body sat on it. I looked up to see Anne with a smile on her face.
"Hello Anne. Honey is somewhere but I'm not sure where. Ready for the day to be done so you can come over?" I asked her. Anne nodded and started tot make hand signs.
"Excited. Going Car shopping. I saw it last night. Like Sam's car." Anne said with her hands.
"Really? Don't ruin the surprise for Sam. Where are the others?" I asked looking around the room for them.
"They should be here…." Anne too looked around the room.
"Sorry we're late. We got stopped by the art teacher. She wanted us to help her move some boxes." Me and Anne turned to see the three that were missing walk in the room.
"Mommy!" my girls flew to their adoptive mothers. Honey, the youngest, belonged to Anne. Honey had a metal bow on her head along with a baby curl on her forehead to indicate that she was still, what I call, a sparkling.
Second youngest was BeatBox, she belonged to Musia. BeatBox has these two oval speakers on both sides of her head that allow her to play music. Her eyes are purple, unlike Honeys that are golden.
The third oldest is Med-X, Elexia's little helper. Med-X has a wrap around her eyes because I made her without any eyes. Her other senses have improved than normal. Her mind, however, allows her to access the web and download information.
The second oldest is Hammer, Sarah's little tough bot. Hammer is just like Sarah in every way possible. I gave her a little Hammer to do what she wishes with it, so long as she doesn't hurt people with it. She usually uses it to squish bugs with it. Hammer is missing an eye because she picked a fight with a squirrel. Now I have to fix it. Her eyes or eye is a green color.
The oldest one, my first creation, is Charm. She's is my little leader and explorer. She sticks by my side and she's always interested in everything that I do. Always full of questions, she is. Charms little "gift" is to grow the size of a child and actually look like one. This way, she is able to go shopping with me when I go out. Charm is the closest one to me than all of my daughters. But I still love them.
"Hello girls. How are you?" Elexia asked.
"We're good. How are you?" BeatBox asked her mom.
"Tired. Yesterdays match was tough. The guy was quick on his feet but I still bested him." Sarah gloated.
"But he lost! There's no way my mama could lose." Hammer huffed.
"But it seems as though you lost a fight Hammer. What happened?" Sarah asked.
"Picked a fight with a squirrel. Now I have to fix it!" I called over to them.
"Girls, work please." Mr. Coffee called.
"Yes, Mr. Coffee." we all said together. We looked at each other, laughed, then got back to work.
oOo
The rest of the day was boring and unexciting. Teachers lectured and students falling asleep. A typical day at school. But if you're like me, normal, shouldn't be in your vocabulary. You spent half of your teenage life, trying to remember who you are and who your parents were. How many times do I look out the window and wish I knew where to look.
"Ring! Ring!" the bell went, telling everyone it was time to go and that the day is over with. I grabbed my books and book bag then headed for my locker. I switch books and made sure I had everything.
"Mommy, we have to get Anne!" Charm told him.
"I know, I know. We're going." I said and locked my locker. Anne was waiting for me outside with Elexia. We said our good-byes and headed towards Ron.
"Hello Anne. How was school?" Ron asked as we got in the back.
"Hello, . School was fine." Anne said.
"She said hello Ron." I told him and he nodded. We placed our bags in the trunk while I placed the case in between us, "Now girls, I'm letting you out. You have to stay in the car and away from sight. Okay?" I asked them.
"Yes mommy." They said and I lifted the top off. When I looked, they sat quietly with their hands folded.
"Smart ass." I told them and sat back. Anne picked up Honey and placed her on her lap. She and Honey started to play their own game while the others looked around.
"Mama, can I sit on your lap?" Charm asked.
"Come here." I picked her up and placed her on my lap. She laid down on my lap as I stroked her backside, making her fall in hibernation.
"Mommy, I wanna play music!" BeatBox chimed.
"No! Every time you play music, you play it too loud!" Med-X yelled.
"Girls, please calm down. BeatBox you can play but it must be soft. You sisters are sleeping." I told her. BeatBox sighed and started to play soft piano and violin music. As the music played I started to drift off to sleep…..
A city. A metal city was in flames. Screams of terror were loud as shouts of war raged. Two cubes, huge to its people, twirled around each other as they flew into the sky. Some stopped to look while others continued to rage war.
"No! The Cubes!" a deep metallic voice screamed.
"You're too late Megatron! You'll never get the Cubes. I sent them where you'll never guess to look." A female voice was dying into the sound of war.
"Tell me where!" the voice, Megatron, shouted at the small female robot that was laying face first in the ground.
"Never. I rather die than tell you." The female robot said and spat on his feet. Blue eyes looked straight at me. Was I there? No, this has to be a dream, "Please, little one. Protect what I was given. It's your job now. I'll be watching as will the others. We believe in you." I watched as Megatron lowered his gun to her head. She closed her eyes, taking one last look at the sky…; she gave me one last smile...
"No! "BANG!" a hole was now in her head. I feel to my knees and just sat there, looking….purple liquid ran from her body….there was nothing that I could do. Megatron turned and looked at me.
Red eyes…..cold red eyes sent shivers down my spine. He started to march over to me and I started to freeze.
"The cubes! Where are they?" he roared. I remained sitting, looking at him as he approached. Slowly I stood and raised my hand….
"Megatron…you will never have them!" I shouted and a bright white light came from my hand. He screamed in pain as pulses of energy, pure energy, spread across the land. When everything went white…I faded once again into black…
I felt someone shake me wake when I started to open my eyes. We weren't in front of the school anymore. We were parked in front of a car lot with Ron and Sam gone.
"Anne, where are we?' I asked her.
"Car lot. Sam and Ron went to look for a car. They wanted me to wake you." Anne told me.
"Thanks, let's go pick out Sam's car. Better, hope your vision makes the car as cool as it sounds. Girls stay here." I told them and got out of Ron's car. The lot was small but very entertaining. It even had its own petting zoo! Sam and Ron were talking to the sales man, Uncle Bobby, Anne tells me. They were talking about the old, dusty looking car with faded racing stripes. This was Sam's car?
"How much?" Ron asked.
"Well, considering the semi-classic nature of the vehicle, with the slick wheels and custom paint job…"
"Yeah, but the paint's faded." Sam interrupted.
"Yeah, but it's custom." Uncle Bobby said. Custom? Where the hell did that come from?
"It's custom faded?" Sam countered.
"Well, it's your first car. I wouldn't expect you to understand." He said to Sam then looked up at Ron, "5 grand."
"No, I'm not paying over four. Sorry." Ron told him.
"Kid, come on, get out of the car." Bobby told Sam. Cheap ass man.
"No, No, No. You said cars pick their drivers." Sam told him.
"Well, sometimes they pick a driver with a cheap-ass father. Out of the car." Bobby told Sam then headed towards a bug.
"Anne, are you sure this is Sam's car? You could be wrong." I told Anne but she shook her head.
"Don't worry. You'll see." Anne told me. A bang was heard and I looked up to see Sam's car door bang against the bug where Bobby was. What the hell?
"I'll get a sledgehammer and knock this right. Hey, hey, Manny! Get you r clown cousin and get some hammers and come bang this stuff out, baby!" Bobby gave a nervous laugh and got out.
"Anne? What was that?" I asked giving her a look.
"Just wait. Getting good." She said and smiled brightly. Heard the radio go off from the car and my heart began to race. My eyes widened and I couldn't believe. A screeching, ear-splitting sound blasted and we hit the ground as the glass from the cars shattered. When everything went quiet again, we got up and saw the damage, "Told you." Ther was glass everywhere. Uncle Bobby never looked so scared in his life.
"Four thousand."
"Deal." Ron paid the man and Sam got the keys. Sam drove home by himself while Ron took Anne and me home. For some odd reason, when I first heard the noise, it didn't seem like a malfunction. It felt like the car did it on purpose. On the way home my mind was spinning from the dream and Sam's car. Something was gonna happen…and it moving fast….better think fast April for your in for one wild ride…
oOo
