Meeting the Twins (Part Two)

"Well, well! Look what I caught!" The short pink-haired girl called out with a sadistic grin, showing off her pearly white teeth as a smirk curved at her lips, a wicked glint flashed through her deep pinkish-red eyes.

"Ruby." She spoke with narrowed eyes as she took a step forward, her long blackish-brown hair swaying in the sudden wind as her wings folded into her body.

"I don't have anything against you but you know the law. If you're an escapee and won't come with no problem they'll send someone after you." Ruby spoke as she rolled her eyes in annoyance with a tsk.

"So they send you? A crazed psycho girl?" She questioned, stepping out from the shade of the barn as she stood a few feet away from Ruby, still grasping her inactive weapon which was in dormant mode.

"Aww, you know you looooveee me!" She chirped with a giggle as she raised her hand and the sword that she threw came back.

"No, I really don't." She spoke with a deadpan expression.

"Butthead, but in that case, you must die." Ruby giggled as she jumped upward, raising her sword as she slashed it forward, sending a huge gust of wind her way.

Snapping her wings out, she launched herself from the ground, barely missing the huge gust of wind that tore the ground. She flapped her wings as she angled them, diving forward. She raised her weapon, clicking a button as it shaped into a gun and firing multiple shots.

They pelted Ruby but somehow she was dodging them causing her to curse as she flew to the side in a barrel role as she snapped her wings out to catch the wind. A cackle escaped Ruby's lips as she tore after her as she flew off, taking the battle away from the old town.

Wind brushed past her, flying into one of the rock mountains causing a huge expression of derbies as it left a giant hole in the mountain side. Eyes widening as she pressed another button, her weapon transforming into her beloved scythe. She whipped her body around, swinging her scythe in an arc as Ruby pulled backwards in time.

"You are starting to suck!" Ruby laughed as she did a cartwheel in mid-air using her abilities as she only scowled in response.

"You're a stuck up idiot, what new?" She spoke with a raised eyebrow and immediately Ruby growled as a shadow crossed over as Ruby lunged forward with a snarl.

Snapping her wings shut, she fell backwards a good couple of feet then snapping her wings open she hovered in the air before letting herself fall towards the ground, her feet making contact as her bones jarred at the sudden impact. Stumbling she gazed above as Ruby came barreling towards her with bared teeth.

"How dare you!" Ruby snarled as she tumbled into her causing both girls to lose their weapons and then rearrange themselves into an all out brawl.

Ruby punched her in the stomach, causing blood to fly out of her mouth as she tumbled towards the ground and with that Ruby flew on top of her, punching her repeatedly as she used her arms to cover her face, the blows bruising her arms.

"Take that back you perra!" Ruby snarled, using her native tongue to cuss at her.

She let out a snarl as she used her right leg and swung it upwards causing Ruby to roll off of her as a string of curses left her mouth in her native tongue. With a groan she rolled onto her front and lifted herself up. Blood trickled down her chin as she used the side of her hand to wipe it off.

"You are nothing but a follower in this god forsaken world, listening to master and being a good little dog." She sneered, blood dribbling down her chin once more, not bothering to wipe it off as Ruby snapped head in her direction in pure anger.

"You'll regret ever saying that to me.." Ruby hissed as she raised her hands out and began to chant, the wind picking up and before she could even blink she was flying backwards.

Hitting the ground with a loud thud as dust lifted up from the sudden impact. Rolling over onto her side she began to cough up blood, a groan escaping her lips as she clutched at her side, pain flaring over her body.

"Pathetic.."

"Weak.."

"Worthless.."

"Die!" Ruby snarled as she raised her sword, and as she laid there waiting for the pain that would soo wrack her body her eyes falling shut.

But a loud scream caused her to snap her eyes open as a gaping hole appeared in Ruby's chest, blood streaming out as she widen her eyes before collapsing onto the ground with a thud, eyes falling shut.

Letting out a gasp she scrambled backwards with wide eyes but before she could register anything, she was quickly picked up by something and held to a red metal chest. Her eyes snapping upwards as she caught sight of a large sentinal being that was coated in blacks, reds, and whites and bright glowing blue eyes.. or whatever they were.

She blinked a few times as she felt herself slump forward as she closed her eyes a groan escaping her lips as her wings suddenly slide back and disappeared, she was used to this kind of brutal force, but Ruby was no laughing matter when she got angry.

"Should I be freaking out right now?" She questioned with blank eyes as she caught sight of another sentient being, the fact that she was seeing two sentinel robots had not caught up with her but it was slowly coming around.

"Probably." The one carrying her mused and the other scoffing and she turned around to caught sight of the one with similar designs except for the coat was golden yellow and black with fins coming from the side of his head.

"Why did we save the fleshie?" The golden yellow one questioned with a snarl as errr.. eyes flashed to me before turning them towards the cherry red one.

She watched as the one carrying her shrugged his shoulders in response as she raised her eyebrow.

"Yeah, why did you save me?" She finally questioned causing both to snap their eyes towards her as she gazed at the cherry red one from her position as he brought up his hand and leveled her towards his face.

"You seemed like an interesting person and from the looks of it, went through slag." He drawled out with a grin.

"Great answer." She spoke sarcastically as she then proceeded to roll off of his hand which caused him to panic as she snapped her wings open, letting her hover over the ground.

"Never do that!" He snapped with wide eyes causing her to raise her eyebrow as she flashed him a fake smile.

"Yeah, no promises on that one!" She shot back as she raised her hand, her eyes glowing once again as she began to use echolocation to locate her missing weapon.

"Mother of gummy bears! Where in the bloody world is that stupid thing!" She snapped as she dragged a hand through her hair with a frustrated growl.

"What stupid thing?" The red one questioned to which she sighed.

"Weapon." Was her short answer as she snapped her wings open and flapped them, letting her body be lifted from the ground.

"Oh, you mean this?" He questioned while pointing over towards her weapon that was a few feet away.

"I'm a bloody idiot." She replied to which the yellow one huffed in agreement to which she shot him a dark glare.

Shifting her wings she flew over towards her weapon, scooping it up and strapping it to her hip as she flew back over towards the already walking.. more like skating towards the old town. She followed them, the attack finally catching up to her as she rubbed at her bruised ribs with a wince. She would half to bandage her wounds once they got back to the old barn.

She groaned as she peeled off her shirt with a hiss, letting it fall beside her as she started to clean the wounds she could reach, feeling eyes on her. Raising her head she turned to stare at both Sunstreaker and Sideswipe with blank eyes.

"What?" She questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"You have a lot of scars as humans put it." Sideswipe spoke with wide eyes causing her to scoff.

''With what I've been through, I'm surprised I haven't killed myself yet." She spoke before going back to cleaning her wounds, her body tensing every now and then when she applied pressure to a certain wound.

After long agonizing hours, more like minutes she finally finished dressing her wounds. She pulled back on her shirt, turning her body to face the two who both sat on the ground in a human-like manner watching her, well Sunstreaker was watching her and Sideswipe was smirking in a perverted way.

"We told you our names but you haven't told us your name." Sideswipe spoke with arms crossed as he stuck out his bottom lip in a pout.

"Erin Summers." Was her reply as she stood up, brushing off particles from her clothing to which Sideswipe cheered.

She watched in silent amusement as Sunstreaker whacked his twin brother upside the head and the latter sticking out his tongue in response. She shook her head as she turned to look outside, seeing that the day was fading into night. She heard something transforming as she snapped her head back to see both the twins in car mode.

Sideswipe popped his door open as a gesture for her to hope in and did she hop in. That really did sound wrong but she ignored her dirty thoughts as she scrambled in. Heading to the backseat she laid down with a sigh, her body relaxing at the soft seats. Erin felt something warm drop on her as she looked up to see that strange fabric substance being laid on top of her.

"What is that?" She questioned with a raised eyebrow to which Sideswipe rumbled his engine as he jolted slightly at her question.

"Aren't you fleshies supposed to know what a blanket is?" Sunstreaker snapped through the radio as her eyes widen.

"When you're locked inside and you haven't experienced anything except for reading them in books you kinda don't know a bloody thing." She grumbled as she snuggled into the 'blanket' with a sigh.

"Comfy?" Sideswipe purred as she smacked the seat with her hand as laughter came through the radio as she stuck out her tongue in response.

"Butthead." She grumbled as she shifted to where her body was facing upwards.

"Me and Sunny have a few questions about you." Sideswipe began only to be interrupted by Sunstreaker.

"Don't call me that slagger!" Sunstreaker snapped.

"Anyways- why were you chased by those men from before?"

"I ran away." Was her short answer as she stiffened, her mind racing back to the days she was a slave and a monster.

"Runaway from what fleshie?" Sunstreaker growled, losing his patience with the human.

"From people who wanted to control me and force me to follow my master." She spoke softly as she drifted her eyes downward towards her stomach.

"I suppose you aren't going to give straight answers are you?" Sideswipe questioned to which she nodded her head.

"Alright, I won't push you." He spoke as she felt the car warm up as she closed her eyes before reopening them once more.

"We can just scare the squeeshie into telling us what happened, I don't mind hurting a pathetic human." Sunstreaker sneered as she flinched at the voice, it reminding her to much of past men.

"Just be patient Sunny!" Sideswipe spoke with a groan before a yelp was heard.

Erin began to fiddle with the edge of her sleeve as the car was lapsed with silence, most likely talking with the bond that Sideswipe explained as she dragged a hand down her face.

She was a runaway slave that had a bounty on her, either dead or alive. She knew very well that she would half to run at some point but right now she actually felt safe around the twins. Sunstreaker hated her and Sideswipe seemed alright with her but she knew very well that he still didn't trust her but wasn't nearly as cold as his brother. Erin didn't know what happened to cause them to act like this.

"May I ask a few questions Sideswipe, Sunstreaker?" She questioned, slowly sitting up from her position as she placed her shoes on the floor.

"Call me Sides and yeah, go ahead." Sides spoke as she nodded her head.

"Sunstreaker?" She spoke, waiting to get a response from him.

A grumble was heard, as she slumped against the seat as she rubbed at her ribs.

"What's going on in the world?" Erin questioned as she waited for a response, sucking in a breath, afraid of what might come.

"Get comfy Erin, this is going to be a long story." Sides began as he then started to tell her everything that has been happening from them landing here on Earth, sentient beings from another planet called Cybertron to where they met Sam, Lennox, Epps, and a bunch of other N.E.S.T people.

She recognized two names from the past, Lennox and Epps but didn't voice it. She nodded her head along as Sunstreaker butted in every now and then to tell her the actual truth when Sides put in the dramatic twist in the story.

"One day, some of us were out on a mission while others stayed behind, we were suddenly attacked. We realized that the humans were attacking us and so we all split up going undercover to hide from them. They betrayed us for something we couldn't control and so now all Cybertronians are being hunted down." Sideswipe finished as she stared at the dashboard with narrowed eyes.

Silence lapsed over them as she sat rigid with anger. How could they do such a thing! She felt even more humiliated and sick at what her race did to them. She was already humiliated and now she couldn't express what she was feeling. She was beyond angry and whoever thought it was a good idea, they are going to half to deal with her and she was no sick matter. She will kill them and let them feel the pain and betrayal for what they did. She made a mental note that they were to use her as a shield to protect themselves, that she will put down her dying breath to make sure that these guys were safe, all the Autobots safe and from harm's way.

"Erin?" Sides questioned, hesitant clearly shown in his voice.

"If I ever see those bloody paraviáseis, can I kill them?" She finally spoke up, anger clearly layered in her voice as she clenched her hands together.

"Sure!" Sides chirped as she raised her head.

"That's good to hear because I'm going to hunt those suckers down and see if they like it being brutally killed in front of their loved ones." Erin grumbled as she caught sight of Sunstreaker freezing up and Sides freezing as well.

"What?" Sunstreaker finally replied with as she felt a smirk curl at her lips.

"Humans are a pathetic race that are nothing but complete and utter morons who want nothing but power and money. I'm sick and tired of them causing destruction to those like you guys because you're far more advanced and people don't like that. Hairless monkeys with no brain is what they bloody are.

My own parents threw me out the day I was born but took me back in after they realized something. They could make money off of me and guess what they did?" She spoke as she gritted her teeth together from doing something she might regret later.

"They sold me off into slavery and goodbye freedom!" She snapped the last part, throwing her hands up in the air.

"Hairless monkeys?" Sides questioned in amusement but that was quickly sobered up as his engine rumbled in anger.

"They sold you?" He snarled, anger in his voice as she let out a chuckle.

"Not a big deal, I'm used to being seen as an item and nothing more. If I said something that angered one of my masters, he would usually do something to punish me, it was a blast." She sarcastically spoke with a wave of her hand as she wrapped the blanket around her.

"That isn't no big deal femme." Sides spoke and to which she shrugged her shoulders.

"Remember, I had no saying in this and I was seen as a toy to men. Look that one up." Erin spoke, not realizing what she said before it was too late causing her to widen her eyes.

"Don't look it up! Don't look it up!" She yelped, waving her hands around her eyes getting wide.

But she was too late as Sides frame shook in what happened to be rage while Sunstreaker it with disgust.

"Fragging fleshies do this kind of thing to femme's?" Sunstreaker spoke with disgust as Sides remained silent, his frame still shaking.

"I told you not to look it up!" She snapped as she banged her head against her knee with a groan.

"Then why did you say to look it up fleshie?" Sunstreaker sneered back as she rolled her eyes.

"I wasn't thinking when I said that and yes, men can be brutal when they want to be." She spoke as she flopped back onto the seats with a groan, curling up as she faced the front.

"Let's get off on that topic and talk about something else, alright?" She questioned.

"Alright but we're not done talking about this Erin." Sides finally spoke up as she only nodded her head in response.

"You do have a beautiful voice." Sides spoke as she felt her face heat up in embarrassment as she pulled the blanket over her head.

"Thank you?" She managed to get out as it turned into more of a question which caused Sides to laugh and Sunstreaker to scoff.

"Can you sing again?" Sides questioned in a hopeful voice as she chuckled, pulling the blanket down.

"I only know a few and they're quiet sad." She warned to which she felt the car raise up and down in shrug as she rolled her eyes.

"Alright." Erin spoke as she sat up, leaning against the frame behind her she began to sing softly, eyes closing.

(Play video Another Empy Bottle by Kate McAllister)

"Mama was a bit naive, and her Daddy was a blinded thief. He went and stole away what was left of the remains of a family. She'd hide away behind a door she kept locked. But the walls weren't thick enough to block out. Angry noises of the voices that once soothed her to sleep.

And she lies tonight underneath a caving roof. And she cries tonight wondering what she can do. And she tries tonight remembering who she once knew. But they've died inside. Another empty bottle takes a life.

This world can be so cruel. She lives her life as a broken tool. And she believes she's unable to fix this broken machine. And what's the use to throw yourself at love. If in the end it never seems enough. To be able to get through all of life's broken dreams. She watched her father live in regret. Heard her mother cry in an empty bed. And she swears this is the best life gets." She sings as she watches Side sag, as a small smile graced her lips as she continued to sing softly, noting how Sunstreaker also saged.

"And she lies tonight underneath a caving roof. And she cries tonight wondering what she could do. And she tries tonight but she's out of memories that she once knew. And she dies inside. Another empty bottle takes a life.

And every little bit, every little bit of her wants to see that light. Oh, but every single night another little bit of her dies inside. She's trapped in her mind. She feels more alive, she feels more alive in her own dreams.

And she's wondering. What's beyond the sky, could she see the light if she falls asleep. 'Cause she feels more alive in her own dreams.

So tonight she lies, lifted up through her own roof. Dried eyes tonight, there's nothing more that she could do. And they cry tonight, a daughter that they hardly knew. And she's lost in time. Another empty bottle takes a life." She finishes the song as she felt a brush of cold air brush past her as she gazed ahead of her, her eyes closing.

"Hey Sides?" She mumbled, her eyes opening as she drifted her gaze over towards his dashboard as he hummed softly, sleep evident.

"Promise me that you'll us me as a shield to protect yourselves, no matter what is going to happen. Use me as a shield to save yourselves from humanities brutality." She whispered as she let sleep consume her, her body relaxing as she slipped downwards, curling up on herself as she went into a light doze.

:Hey Sunny?" Sides questioned through the bond as he watched Erin fall into a light recharge, his spark aching at what he discovered about the girl.

:What did I tell you about calling me Sunny!? But anyways, what?: Sunstreaker questioned, feeling his brother's pain and it annoyed him that Sides was already starting to care for the fleshie.

:What do you think happened to her?:

:Pit if I care.:

:Did you not hear her?!: Sides snapped, anger flaring over the bond causing Sunstreaker to real back in surprise as his brother sudden flare of anger to which he rolled his optics.

:Yes, I slagging heard the fleshie. We can use her to our benefit since she told us we could.: He spoke, already agreeing to watch the fragger being killed. He would do anything to keep himself and his twin alive, even if it meant getting a little dirty in how they survived.

:Slag it Sunny! Don't you realize that she's been through pit, probably like what we've went through in Kaon!:

:Don't you ever compare us to a fragging weakling!: Sunstreaker snarled before slamming the bond shut, anger wafting over to Sides who sagged even more as he vented.

He knew very well that he if cared for a human, it would bite him in the back strut as humans would put it. But this human was different, Erin was different from the other humans that he encountered and he needed Sunny to see it that way. Yes, the humans betrayed them and it still left an aching feeling in his spark that after all they've been through, they betrayed them. He didn't trust easily, not that he ever did but he was starting to trust them until that happened and everything went downhill after that.

Mentally shaking his helm he relaxed as he ran over the words that Erin spoke of after she fell into recharge which caused him to think and that normally wasn't a good thing for a mech like him. He vented once again as he rolled over the thoughts in his processor before letting himself go into recharge.

You got to see a little bit of Erin's past and the world can be cruel.. a messed up sence of humor that is. That's far from just the begining of her past until now, and yay! She finally got to meet Sunstreaker and Sideswipe! I'll hopefully have the next chapter out by next Thursday or Friday, depending on when I finish the fourth chapter.
