Dear Sam,

I know that I probably have no right to even bother contacting you after so long but they say that time heals all things and I was hoping.. that by now you may have forgiven me...

Mikaela paused as she tried to think of how to word how she hadn't mean to, in the end not only managed to rip out his heart and stomp on it, but that she had kept the fact that she had borne him two children from him...

"Again?"

She blinked up to find her cousin sitting in the doorway to her bedroom arms crossed. "Good morning Nora."

"Seriously Miki this has got to be the thousandth time you've tried to write that Sam guy." she said as she sat down opposite of Mikaela. "Are you actually going to send this one?"

Mikaela sighed and set the pen aside. "Probably not."

"You miss him don't you?"

"..."

"Why did you leave him?"

"Seriously? Because being with him would have put the twins in constant danger. They wouldn't have the chance to be just kids and have a normal life like they are right now. Speaking of which where are they?"

"I already took them to school. Hey my boss wanted to have me ask you if I could bring the truck over to your shop for inspection. It's making a weird noise."

"Yeah sure." Mikaela said as she crumpled the attempted letter and tossed it into the trash. "Did you want a lift to the park?"

"Nah. It's a good day for a walk."

Dear Sam,

I know I have no right to even think about writing you after all this time...But before you discard this letter please, please reconsider... There is a perfectly good reason I'm writing you...

"Argh damn it!" she growled as she tossed aside the paper. SHe was sitting in the office of her shop attempting to write the damned letter for what had to be the thousandth time... No matter how many times she tried to write it she was never able to finish it.

"Still trying to write that letter?"

Her head snapped up to meet the owner of the voice unable to find the speaker. It was a voice she had heard so over ten years ago... "You again." she whispered as she felt a smugness in the invisible presence. "Haven't you messed my life up enough?"

"I've only come to warn you that your time is running out."

"Gee thanks. I guess I'd better figure out what to say in this letter then huh? By the way, since I have you have you got any idea on how I can break this to him? After all you made me leave Sam and the Autobots because you wanted the twins off the radar."

"They wouldn't have been safe with the events that were to have passed. They and yourself would have died or worse if you had stayed."

"Yep you told me that before."

"Keep an eye out for some help."

"That didn't answer my question." Mikaela growled as the 'Presence' vanished, the air in the office devoid of its essence. "Thanks."

She wasn't going to get anything done here while the urge to scream and throw things held her in her grip. Mikaela grabbed the keys to her her motorcycle and told her assistant that she was calling it a day. She sent a text to Nora and was off without a second thought about what the occurence that had happened in the office.

Mikaela sighed as she entered the quite abode. it was well after eleven that night. she had spent the entire day riding and she still couldn't clear her mind. The house was eerily quiet, making her nervous. She checked the bedrooms finding them empty, her nervousness went up until she found the note attached to her own door.

Hey! I heard there's supposed to be a meteor shower and so me and the twins took the telescope out back. We'll be camping out there if ya wanna join us.

Nora.

Mikaela sighed before making her way out of the house and down to the campsite. They owned about six acres of land on the outskirts of the little town. It had belonged to Mikaela's grandmother, who had passed away around the twins eighth birthday. The property had been in her family for years, handed down to the next family member willing to keep it. It was originally supposed to go to Nora, but since she had been seventeen and still a minor when their grandmother had passed it fell to Mikaela.

Nora was dancing to her mp3 player, near the large campfire. Her long lanky form almost making her look like a wraith in the flickering flames. When she caught sight of Mikaela's approaching form she waved and pulled out her earbuds. "It's about time you came home." the girl smiled.

"See anything good?"

"Not really. Though I do have her trained on Venus right now." the nineteen year old sighed. "Did you manage to clear your thoughts?"

Mikaela nodded her head towards the tent where the sounds of slight snoring came from. "Not really. How'd things go with them?"

"No more hazardous than any other day. They actually behaved for me today... Though I couldn't tell you if it's because I promised to -and did- teach them how to start a fire."

Mikaela let out a slight groan. "Like they really needed to learn how to do that."

"You never know nowadays." Nora grinned as she fiddled with her long dark braid. "Survival instincts are a good thing to know. Much like learning how to swim."

Mikaela scoffed as she glared at her cousin. "I can swim thank you very much."

Nora began to fiddle with the telescope again."Yeah barely. Remember the time we went to the water park? You refused to let me take the twins any farther than the three foot marker." she said before frowning and looking up. She glanced back into the lens before repeating the action several times.

Mikaela raised a brow. "Are you okay over there?"

"Um... Miki look up." Nora said nervously.

Mikaela looked up in time to see a massive 'meteorite' soar over head. Her heart leapt as she remembered the night that she and Sam had witnessed the same thing before. She was already too her feet as there was a resounding crash in the desert on the back half of their property...
