Chapter two
Same dream?
Arianna awoke automatically in the morning. She got up and got ready for school, and made herself a banana for breakfast, looked at it, then changed her mind. Food hurts her, and she wasn't in the mood to fight to keep it down. She grabbed her backpack and left her house. Arianna flew to the edge of the forest, then landed and turned into her human form. Arianna walked the rest of the way to school, trying to hide her limp. The girl did not want the police to be asking questions.
After school, Arianna was at her locker when she pulled out her text book and her drawing fell out. She went to pick it up, only to find that Jack Darby had already picked it up and was looking at it with a look of surprise. He recognized the drawing as Optimus Prime, and he wondered how the girl had a drawing of him.
"Um, can I have that back please?" asked Arianna, for she was afraid that Jack would tease her if he knew about her dreams.
"How did you know about them?" asked Jack, still holding the drawing. He was afraid that she may have seen them and was telling all her friends.
"Them?" asked Arianna confused. Does he know him? Or does he have the same dreams? She thought.
"Yes, there is more of them." said Jack. He thought that maybe she just saw Optimus. A kid with red spiky hair and glasses walks up, and looks at Jack.
"Hi Jack!" he said.
"Hi Raf." said Jack.
"Wait," Arianna says, "are you saying that what I drew is real?" Jack ignored her question, he did not know what to say, and regretted telling her that there is more of them.
"Who is she?" asked Raf. He never saw this girl before.
"She is a girl from my class, her name is Arianna." answered Jack. He remembered the conversation they had yesterday.
"Can I please have my drawing back?" asked Arianna.
"Oh, sure." said Jack as he hands it back he had forgotten that he had it in his hands.
"Thanks." said Arianna. "Why are you acting like you seen the robot before?" Jack was acting odd, as if he was hiding something.
"Oh, no reason." said Jack. In fact, he did have a reason, he had promised Arcee that he would keep her, and the Autobots a secret, and he plans on keeping that promise.
"I'm going my ride is here." said Raf. Through the window, he saw is friend, Bumblebee pull up, and is waiting for him. Arianna saw the yellow and black car and recognized it from yesterday.
"Do you dream about them too?" asked Arianna. She thought that maybe he was acting odd because he had the same dreams as well.
"Um, yeah," lied Jack he wondered what she meant by dreaming about them.
"Cool!" said Arianna. She reaches for her drawing and hands it to Jack. Since they had the same dreams, or so she thought, she decided to let him have the picture "Here, you can keep this." she said as he took it.
"Thanks," said Jack as he put it in his backpack. He'll show it to Optimus when he can, this is something he needs to see. They walk to the front of the building together in silence, and Arianna watches as Jack gets on a blue motorcycle, who was Arcee.
"See you around." said Jack as he put on his helmet. And Arcee drove away with him, both of them not realizing that they are going to regret that they did not take Arianna with so she can tell Optimus about her dreams. As she watched him leave, Arianna noticed a symbol on his bike. That's the same symbol as the robot in my dreams. Could it mean something? Probably not. She thought as she walked back to her home in the woods.
Arianna would have liked Jack Darby, if she had crushes. In fact, she had noticed a lot of oddities about her, besides her abilities. To start with, she is sixteen, and has yet to have her period. And when she gets wounded, her blood isn't red, but a blue, glowing liquid. She also can't eat much, because food hurts her stomach, and what she does eat, is a battle to keep down. Arianna sighed as she kept walking, trying to ignore the pain. She heard a plane in the sky, and she looked up to watch it, and she noticed that it was purple. Odd, she thought, planes are not purple.But that plane was not an ordinary plane; it was a Deception, known as Jetstream.
