Ok so chapter two, enjoy!
Wrong choice of words, her face became a bit angry but her tone stayed calm, "Son? What, no! He isn't my son! He's my brother!"
Whoops, he thought. "Sorry, I didn't mean to…well…" He just stopped. No need to be digging himself into a deeper grave.
"And yes, I'm sort of lost. Sorry for losing my cool, wasn't your fault you thought, well…with how twisted this world has become…So you said we're in Jasper, Nevada?"
"Yeah. Uh sorry but I've got to get to work. My names Jack, Jack Darby."
"Uh, Jemina and this is Jayce." She said gesturing to the little boy.
"Hi." He said happily
"Hi." Jack replied back, "Well, see you guys later?"
"Uh. Yeah, sure. Thanks."
"Yup." Jack then hoped on his bike and drove away.
A feminine yet slightly metallic voice spoke up once they were a far distance away, "Hey Jack, new kid in school you forgot to tell me about?"
"Uh, no Arcee. I've never seen her before in my life."
"Ok, see you after your shift."
Jemina and Jayce went back home, she had to think about the events of the day. The facts didn't strike Jayce until they were inside, "Wait, so were in Jasper? Like in the Transformers cartoons?"
"I don't know Jayce. It appears that way, but you need to give me time to think and sort this out ok?"
"Alright." He handed Aja off then ran inside to play.
Jemina unclipped Aja and she went and jumped onto Jemina's bad to take a nap. While Jemina began to get lunch ready. So we're in a town that technically doesn't exist, and we just meet a boy that doesn't exist outside of a cartoon. What is on? "Hey, Jayce. What do you want to watch?"
"Rescuebots. Hey, do you know where Blades, Chase, Boulder, Bumblebee, and Opitmus Prime went?" Jayce loved his Transformers and would have them out whenever he watched the Transformers.
"No, have you tried cleaning your room for once?" Jemina called back.
"I can't clean my room."
"Why? Do you have a broken arm or leg or something? It won't kill ya you know."
"No I don't have any broken arms or legs." He replied coming into the kitchen, "But my room is already cleaned up, there's nothing more for me to clean up."
"Fine we'll look for them in a bit." She opened up Netflix and went to the instant que to put on Rescuebots for Jayce. "Hu, well it looks like they took it off of Netflix Jay. What else do you want to watch?" She called out her brother's nickname.
"Alright, the new Transformers." When he said that he meant Transformers Prime.
"Oh, geez. They took that off of there too." She opened up the CD case where they kept the discs for the original Transformers cartoons, they were gone too. Alright this is crazy. "Sorry Jay, but I can't find any of the Transformers. Anything else?"
"Toothless!" If it wasn't the Transformers it was How to Train Your Dragon, oh well.
"Well at least we still have those." She put it on and they had lunch.
Jemina spent the rest of the day trying to figure out just what exactly was going on, searching the internet and everything else for anything on the Transformers but it was like they had been erased from existence. She looked out her front bedroom window and saw Jack returning home, more importantly she looked at his bike. Pink, blue, and black, just like Arcee from the newer cartoons. This was crazy. She was losing her mind, this had to be the most life like dream she had ever had yet it wasn't a dream.
That night Jemina and Jayce went on another walk. While they were out Jemina recognized a few cars. One was a black Camaro, and another, which surprised her a bit, was a red semi-truck with a blue trailer bed. What really caught Jemina's attention was the autobot insignia on the grill of the semi, had this been a normal past two days she would have thought nothing of it. Ever since the Transformers' movies came out there were tons of Autobot and Decepticon insignias' on vehicles, but after what was happening over the past two days she wasn't being fooled. She made a mental note and continued observing. The Camaro and semi seemed to be purposefully sticking together though they kept their distance. To any other observer it would look perfectly ordinary, like they were headed the same direction, but, like the insignia, Jemina knew better.
On their way home Jemina thought about the Autobots, she wasn't completely sure if they were real yet or not but if they were what should she do? Should she continue on her merry way like they don't exist or should she try and meet them somehow. She decided on the former, best to leave things the way they are, besides, she didn't want to put Jayce in that kind of danger knowingly and willingly.
They walked down a deserted street, save for the Camaro and semi, what are the odds… They were parallel parked on opposite sides but with the semi parked a little more ahead, leader in the front. Jemina and Jayce were just about to walk out from behind the semi when Jemina saw a guy with a ski-mask on and crowbar in hand run over to the Camaro. Well I'm pretty sure he isn't wearing the ski-mask because it's cold. Who could be cold when it's fifty degrees out? "Jayce, I want you to stay behind the semi ok?"
"Ok, but why?"
"Just stay here and don't come out." Jemina left her brother behind the semi and pulled out her phone, "Hey," She called out to the guy with the crowbar, "I've got 911 dialed up so if you don't want me to push send then back away from that aut…car." She caught herself before she said anything stupid and waved her phone at him to show that she wasn't bluffing.
He turned around and she saw that he was all mussels, oh joy. Oh, Father Above, I'm going to need Your help now. He started to walk over to Jemina, albeit very slowly to try and strike fear into her. "What are you going to do princess? Even if you call the cops I could take you down before they got here, bet you can't even lift a hammer without fear of breaking a fingernail." He teased as he walked.
Why oh why did everyone think she couldn't do anything? Sure she was skinny, about the size of a stick as her dad put it, but could more than pull her own weight. Hidden mussels as she like to put it, sure she wasn't by far the strongest person, but when you carry around twenty pounds of stuff because you have a disable friend and you have to carry around her stuff and yours, you gain some mussel. And seriously fingernails? She couldn't care two cents worth about her fingernails!
She pushed send and got the police while she turned around and hurried to her brother while telling the police of the situation. She pulled on the door handle of the semi and found it unlock, she figured that much if the semi was who she thought it was. "Jayce get inside the semi and don't come out no matter what until I get you, ok?"
She pushed her brother into the semi leaving her purse with him, it would only get in the way if she had to run which she would, "Ok." He replied hunkered low so that he couldn't be seen.
Jemina took off towards the back of the truck when the guy came around the front, "Hey! Where do you think you're going? I've got something to say to you!" He shouted and ran after Jemina, who was faster than he had anticipated.
Optimus Prime had been listening in on the Jemina's conversations, both with the man who had tried to break into Bumblebee and with her brother. He was eternally grateful that she had showed up and kept Bee from being stolen, that could have been a real hassle trying to get Bee back without blowing our cover, but know he was worried about the girl's safety. He was huge compared to her but he would carry out her last wishes, keeping this young child she had with her safe, while also phoning agent Fowler. Little did he know but when Jemina had said to get inside the semi, she wanted Optimus to do just that. If the semi was Optimus, which she was 99.99 percent sure he was, she knew he would be safe no matter what.
However, Jayce, being the rambunctious little six-year-old that he was, decided to go and help his sister so went to open the door. He found it lock so tried to unlock it, when it still didn't unlock he grabbed the little knob and pulled it upward. Had the semi been a normal semi that trick would have worked, but Optimus kept the lock down and so kept the door locked.
Jayce was mad, and Optimus had to admit to himself that the child was kind of cute when he became mad, he couldn't get the door to unlock! So he just sat there and pouted while waiting for his sister. Around two or so minutes the police cars pulled up, they inspected the Camaro then loaded it up onto a tow truck then they came over to the semi. They saw Jayce inside but couldn't get the door open and were about to the Jaws of Life when a strange black car showed up and a man got out and came over to the semi. He talked to the police and said that the semi was his so the police back off just a little.
Prime, feeling that now it was completely safe with Fowler here, unlocked his door and let the little boy out. "Well hello son, what's your name?" He asked, Prime had yet to tell him what was going on with the child, he hadn't mentioned that in the little phone call.
"My sister…Jemina…I need to…she…" His mind was racing a hundred miles an hour and couldn't get out more than three words at a time that made sense but the expression he wore was clear, it was one of complete worry and sadness.
"Officers, could you take this boy and see if you can at least get his name, I'm gonna check my truck." With that the officers took Jayce to their cars and tried to calm him down, emphasis on tried he wasn't going to calm down until he saw his sister back safe and sound. Fowler went back to Optimus to get the story.
"The boy's name is Jayce." Optimus said after the police were far enough away so that only Fowler could hear.
"Ok got that. Mind telling me what happened? You're twenty-foot aliens yet you still have troubles with car burglary."
"I will say this in as few words as possible. Bumblebee and I were on patrol, and when we parked for a moment a man with a covered face came out from the ally to your left and tried to break into Bumblebee. At that time a young girl and the boy were walking by, she told him to leave Bumblebee alone or she would call the police. When he came towards her she called them and place the boy in my cab and told him to stay put. She ran off somewhere behind me with the man in hot pursuit. Now if it isn't too much trouble I would like to go look for her, we owe her that much and she could be seriously hurt."
Fowler was in shock for a moment by the story before telling the police that a girl had also been present and that the burglar had gone after her. They didn't ask how he knew they just accepted it and so asked him in what direction they went.
Ok, sorry for the little cliff hanger, not really :). So updates will be sparatic though I will try, I promise nothing, to update within every two weeks, life happens and can be crazy. So...review if you like the story. Have a great week!
