Chapter Four. I don't own the TFs, Hasbro does. I only own my OC's. This chapter is in Michaela's POV.


We'd just gotten done stealing from a little place in town when we heard the sirens. I looked to Alex and mumbled, "You think it's for us?"

"No. But, just to be on the safe side. Let's get outta here. And quickly." I nodded and we walked towards his car as fast as we could without it looking suspicious. I took all the stuff we stole and put it in the trunk while he started the car. "I'm ready to go."

I climbed in the back of the car, "So am I. Let's get outta here." Before we even pulled out of the parking lot, the cop had gotten out of the car. "Go, now." Alex pulled out when nobody was coming and floored it. I looked back and saw the cop coming after us. "Damn it, Lex. He's comin' after us."

Alex looked back, "Son of a bitch!" He went off on to a country road and hoped the cop wouldn't follow. But, it did. We gave up eventually and pulled over in a field. Alex grabbed a baseball bat out from behind his chair and I grabbed a gun. I stuck the gun in my waistband and covered it with my shirt. "Remember, it's just for defense. If he doesn't try to arrest you, don't use it. And, actually.. I'm gonna leave this here, not in the mood for it. I like your route better." He grabbed a gun too and copied me. We got out of the car and saw the officer waiting.

"Alright, so tell me why you two were- why do you have that symbol on you?! You're not one of them! You.. you can't be!" The guy freaked out and then collapsed..

"Well. Okay then. Wanna get some gas?"

Alex looked at me like I was crazy, "Siphoning gas from a cop's car? Are you really fuckin' serious?"

I shrugged, "Thought you said we could use some."

He rolled his eyes and then went back to grab a gas can. "You're crazy."

I smirked and bowed, "Why, thank you." He laughed at that and followed me to the cop's car.

We looked all around on the car and didn't find a gas cap. "Where the fuck's it at?! This better not be one of those eco-friendly cars.. I swear to god."

I kicked the tire, "Must be. Stupid cops and being eco-friendly."

We didn't notice the cop getting up again until he talked. "Excuse you. But, I'm gonna have to take you with me."

Me and Alex exchanged looks and then looked at him. "No, we're staying here."

"Fine, have it your way." He got on his radio. "I have two that aren't willing to come with me."

"What would you expect them to do? Walk right over and go with you? Take them. It isn't that hard."

"But, they don't know what they are."

"Hurry then."

It all happened quickly. One minute, we're standing in the field and the next we're in the cop car, restrained. "Let us go, you weirdo cop!" He drove out of the field, leaving Alex's car there.

"You better get my fucking car!"

"I'll retrieve it later. My priority is you two right now."


About 30 minutes passed and we were still in the cop car. We cussed at him but he didn't seem angered by it nor care.

Then, we passed the police station. "Where are we going?" I looked out the window and watched the police station get farther and farther away from where we were.

"To the base."

Alex spoke up, "But you just passed the police station!"

The guy sighed, but kept driving. "Not that human place."

"What do you mean 'human place'? You're human!" Alex was getting agitated with the guy by now. "Where the fuck are you taking us?!"

"Like I said, to the base. We'll be there in a few minutes."

We pulled up to an abandoned house and were forced out. I mumbled, "You think he's a kidnapper?"

"Probably.. be on the watch."

I gave a curt nod. "Come on, you two." He lead us into the house and then to the basement. But, instead of the basement looking gross and moldy, it looked neat and nice. Much better than the upstairs, which had rotting and molded things in it.

"I brought two, let me in."

A voice came back, "Alright, Prowl."

A staircase came from the floor and led down. "Down we go."

As soon as we got down the stairs, all we saw was chrome-plated everything. Glass doors, chrome walls, and some more glass decor. It all looked very retro. There were machines on the walls and those had bleepy buttons. Then, we saw what had let us in. A huge yellow robot that I could only identify as Bumblebee was standing in front of us.

"Welcome to the Autobot base."

I fainted while Alex stared, wide-mouthed.
