Trapped In Your Universe

Chapter Four: The Only Way

"Alice! Don't do this, please stop!" Laura yelled to her sister, who was currently propping herself up on a broken building in the ruins of Mission City.

"I have to, Laura. This is the only way." Alice yelled back over the whipping winds.

"It's not the only way!" Laura yelled back, tears now filling her eyes. She had never cried before publically, but now was certainly a moment worth tears. "This isn't Alice, and you know it isn't!"

"We need to go home." Alice whispered, though her sister seemed to be able to hear it.

"Home? What home! The broken household with a father that's never there!" Laura yelled back, "that isn't a home!"

"It was fine before we got here! Before you were exposed to all this!" Alice yelled back.

"Exactly! We were fooled into thinking that what we had was a home, but we've seen a real home is now. This is home." Laura whispered, choking up. "Alice, you've been brainwashed into thinking that what we had back then was so great, but it wasn't."

Alice stayed silent for quite some time, the winds whipping her hair to the side. "Alice, don't do this." Cathy whispered, holding Ricky close to her chest.

"I have to." She repeated, tears now streaming down her face. "If there's no Allspark…then there's no reason for us to be here. We'll go back home."

"They could kill you!" Laura yelled, her body trembling in sobs. "Don't do this!"

"I'm sorry." Alice whispered, looking back at her siblings. "I'm so sorry…."

It's funny how it didn't seem like it was so long ago that they were back at the base.

"Ricky! I can't believe because of Ricky we're here!" Alice yelled, pacing the room where only her siblings were present.

"Stop blaming him! It's not like he knew any better!" Laura yelled, cradling Ricky in her lap. It hadn't been too long after they found out Ricky was the main cause of them being transported into this weird universe. "I can't take you like this! You're mad at everything! This place isn't so bad!"

"This place isn't our home!" Alice yelled back.

"Would you like to go home…"

The room grew silent at the sudden soft voice. Their gazes focused on a small spider looking robot clinging to the side of Alice's shirt. She picked it up, holding it between her thumb and pointer finger. "What the hell are you…" she whispered.

"Someone who…can get you home." The robot piped up, and seemed to give a devilish grin as it's red optics gave a glint.

"Alice it's a decepticon, don't listen to it." Laura said.

"But I can get you home, little girl." The spider looking decepticon spoke again. "All you have to do is meet my master, so he can extract the Allspark from you. Without the Allspark in you, you have no purpose in this world." He continued to explain, "And you could go home."

"Don't trust him!" Laura warned.

"I don't have many options at this point." Alice mumbled, her bangs covering her eyes as she stared at the floor. "I'll do it."

"Alice are you stupid!" Laura yelled. The twins mostly stayed quiet during these types of arguments, especially since they didn't know anything about the universe they were in in the first place.

"I said I don't have a choice!" Alice yelled back, beginning to slip on a jacket, "Don't tell Optimus or the others."

Laura gave a loud groan, raking a hand through her hair and closing her eyes. "Fine, but I'm going with you." She said.

"But-"

"We're going too." The twins interrupted, standing up.

Alice sighed, looking at them all. She gave a nod, slipping her hands and in her pockets as the small spider deception climbed on her shoulder. "Fine, let's go."

A large tank-like looking vehicle drove up, and quickly transformed. Megatron. He snarled, extending his hand for Alice to climb aboard. She gazed at it, and then slowly stepped on. He lifted her to his half destroyed face and eyed her over.

"Alice…" Laura whispered, starring up in despair.

"Promise me….you won't me hate me." Alice whispered, looking back at him.

"I promise…I promise just don't do this!" Laura begged. Alice only gave a sad smile, then turned back to Megatron.

"This wont hurt a bit." Megatron growled, then suddenly shoved one of his claws through her chest without warning. She gasped for hair, her body giving in as her mouth hung open. Blood spilled from the wound and the corners of her mouth. "Y-You said it…it wouldn't hurt." She choked out, a shaky hand trying to pull him away from her.

"I lied." He replied, pulling the shard from her chest and letting her fall to the ground.

"NO!" Laura yelled, running towards her sister's now lifeless body with the twins following. They huddled around her, trying to cover the gaping wound in her chest but what good would it do? She was dead. Just like that she was dead.

"A-Alice." Cathy choked out, "Alice no, don't die."

"She is dead. Worthless and dead." Megatron cackled.

"Fuck you! Fuck you okay!" Laura yelled up at him, glaring fiercely. That didn't seem to phase him. He merely took off, and left them to grieve over the dead body. "I gotta call the others." Laura said in a shaky tone, pulling out her phone. "I have to save her."

"Laura, she's dead." Cathy whispered, holding Ricky close and covering his eyes.

"You think I don't know that!" Laura snapped, holding her phone to her ear. After awhile, she sniffled and someone seemed to pick up. "Bee! Bee it's me! Take down my coordinates or whatever or something! I need you here, now! S-She's dead!"

A loud screeching noise on the other line could be heard amongst them and then Laura hung up. She stared down at her sister's lifeless expression and almost gagged. "Why you…why not me…" Laura whispered, her eyes filling with tears yet again.

It didn't take too long for the Autobots to reach them. They actually had no idea the group had managed to sneak out. For an advanced alien race they seemed pretty oblivious to certain things. When Optimus spotted them hovered over Alice's lifeless body, his whole expression seemed to change. He seemed completely devastated. "Wha-What happened." He whispered.

"You happened!" Laura snapped. She was quite angry at everything at the moment. "You fucking idiot! Why! Why her!"

"Laura, calm down. He knew nothing of this." Bee's radio said calmly.

"And if he did! What would he have done then!" She yelled and the air grew silent. No one seemed to want to answer, and of course it only made her even more angry. "Screw you all." She muttered, then began walking away. Cathy and Casey stood up, looking up at the Autobots.

"We're really sorry." Cathy whispered, rubbing Ricky's back who had recently started crying. "You have to understand, we never asked for any of this." Casey joined in. They gave them all this sad gaze and gulped. "Our sister is dead, and we have nothing. I think it's time for us to go home." Casey finished, then followed after their sister.


Laura: -chokes me- you bastard! You killed her!

Me: Agh! Would you stop!

Laura: WHY WOULD YOU KILL HER!
