Chapter 4

I'm guessing its midday or maybe it's midnight. I really need to get a watch in this place. I lost track of the time already. That's not good, wait, am I still fifteen or sixteen now? Oh well, I might find out later on if some con is kind enough to tell me, that is if one of them comes here. Knockout hasn't got the chance to talk to me! He says he's too busy on something! I'm sad now.

I am so close to falling asleep here. I'm lying in the middle of my home and had an arm drape over my eyes. Okay, maybe I was counting sheep in my head and no matter what one says it does put you to sleep! You just have to be very bored and had nothing to do for some time now.

Just as I'm about to go to dreamland, I soon heard someone coming. Thinking it's just that random seeker passing by, I didn't move from my position until I heard voices yelling at each other.

"He's coming!"

"Run faster bro!"

"What do you think I'm doing? Dancing?"

"Yes!"

"Why you!"

I silently giggle at the two voices. They're funny. Peeking from under my arm, I could see that its two small cons if judging by the shadows the lights were emitting. I watched as they came into view and was pleased to see that one of them was the same con that used Fluffy as a surfboard the other day. Wonder who they're running from.

"Get back here you brats!"

Ah, the Dorito of Doom. Got to love him, not. Rolling onto my stomach, I watched in amusement as the twins, I'm guessing they're twins cause they look alike, came running into my room and glancing around in hopes to find a hiding spot. Sadly, my room is very bare so there are little hiding places to find inside, unless you can become invisible.

The two quickly hide in a dark corner near the doorway and hugged each other when Dorito came storming in. his red eyes were flashing in anger and snarled out their names.

"Frenzy! Rumble! Come out here! I promise to make it fast and very painful," he growled, stepping into the room.

I giggled. Dorito snapped his glance towards me and stalked forward until he was right near my cage.

"You squishy, where are they?" he ordered.

I frowned and placed my head on my arms that were folded. "Who?"

Dorito snarled and swat at my cage, making it swing to the side. "You know who! Now tell me if you want to live!"

I sighed and waited for the cage to stop swinging. Once it did, I turned to the very angered Dorito. "You need Lord Megatron's permission first," I sang happily. "And who are you talking about? The only one I see is her."

Dorito growled and looked like he was about to swat my cage once more until he realized what I just said. "Her? What are you talking about? You're the only one in that cage."

I nodded. "Of course I am, she over there in that corner across the room, not inside the cage with me right now. She's very mean to me. She keeps on laughing at my misfortune. For example, before you came storming in here looking for whoever, she was there giggling at me but you scared her off."

Screamer stared at me with an unknown look on his face. "No one was there."

I frowned and jumped up. "Yes she was!" I argued. "You scared her off and she doesn't want you to see her!"

"Fine! Who is she then?" Screamer asked in annoyance.

I smiled and placed my hands behind my back. "Why the cat girl of course," I answered as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

"Cat girl?"

"Yeah! Like I said before, she's very mean to me! She always follows me and whenever she has the chance, she makes fun of me and laughs at my misfortune! For example, when I was being chased by Fluffy, she was running alongside of me laughing the whole time and she keeps on whispering about how she is happy running around the base while I can't. She even tells me the funny things that I can't see for example, she said that the black and purple seeker is flooding your room and is waiting for you to return so you can drown even though I don't how you can drown. Can you guys drown? Oh! Now she tells me that the other blue one is about to open said door to said room in five four three two one," I said counting down the seconds.

As I hit one, we all could hear something splashing against the wall and the angry yell of a con.

"SKYWARP!"

"TC! I can explain! Screamer was supposed to open the door! Not you!"

"You better run!"

I giggled at the loud argument that was taking place on the other side of the base and the look that Screamer had obtained.

"What?" he said confuse at what just happen. I could see that he was trying to progress what I had just said and what could have happen to the room. "How?"

I shrugged and pointed to a corner opposite to the door. "She just told me and now she's laughing at me! Make her stop!"

Counting in my head, I happily watched as Screamer's optics flicker before going black and falling on the floor in a pile of heap.

Seconds passed before I stood up and bowed to no one partially. "Thank you, thank you. You have been such a wonderful audience. And this has been watching me cause another con to glitch."

I didn't hear anything answer me and I wasn't expecting for someone to. I just sat back down and stared at the wall once more, going back to my thoughts. A minute later, I blinked at the laughter that filled the room. So they didn't escape when Dorito glitched.

"That was awesome!" the lighter twin exclaimed.

The darker one laughed and nodded. They both looked up at me and grin.

"You're insane!" they both said.

I grin. "What was your first clue?"

They just pointed at the unconscious Dorito in responds and started to ask me so many questions, I started to doze off.

"What's your name and what are you doing here fleshy?" the darker twin asked me.

I snapped out of my self-trance and stared down at them. "Well, I'm Victoria Simmers! Insane girl that doesn't want to shut up most of the time and I have no idea what I'm doing here. I was just walking home when Fluffy the cop car chase me down and next thing I know, I'm in this cage and it's boring."

"Victoria? Ah you must be the fleshy that is related to one of the fleshies that works for the Autoscums!" the lighter twin exclaim before what I said about the cop car caught up to him. "Fluffy? You mean Barricade?"

"Barricade? I like Fluffy more. I shall name him Fluffy and he can go to hell for all I care, he was mean to me," I said pouting a bit. "And Autoscum? Who's that and which fleshy? There's many."

"You don't know?" the darker twin asked me.

I shook my head. "Nope unless one of my uncles work for them and didn't tell us in fear we could get captured but sadly it seems that I am so that failed epically. I wonder if it's my Uncle Roger. I wouldn't be surprise if he does work for them, he was always sneaky. Hey if talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity, what sign two? Cause I think I know what it is, seeing things or people but Helena is real she just doesn't want anyone to know."

"Don't you ever shut up?"

"Eh, up until I was thirteen, I thought my name was shut up," I said happily. "Besides! I'm not done yet. Hell, I'm just getting started here!"

I was only messing with them and I fell silent to see what they would do. It was very silent before the twins burst out laughing.

"I like you Victoria. You know what, your name is too long so I'm going to call you Vic instead. I'm Frenzy and he's Rumble!" the lighter twin, Frenzy said before pointing to his twin.

"And he's twinkle toes," Rumble said pointing to Screamer.

I giggled. "I call him Dorito of Doom."

"Nice!" the both claim before their visors grew dim. After a minute or so, they frowned.

"We got to go, boss said so but don't worry! We'll come back!" Frenzy said before dragging his twin out of the door and down the hall.

I just hum and lay back down to stare at the ceiling. "Hmm, boss?"

It was two days later when the twins came back. I saw eating my lunch when they came running in. I blinked in surprise when they started to jump up and down in glee, calling out my name. since I was sitting in the middle of the cage, I placed my food down and crawled over to the edge to look down at them.

"Someone called my name?" I asked curiously.

"Yo Vic! We came to tell you about some of over pranks!" Frenzy said, motioning to him and his twin.

"We've been thinking," Rumble started to say before I cut them off with a startled gasp.

"OMG, they have been thinking! This place isn't going to last much longer!" I exclaimed in shook before falling over, hand clutching right over where my heart was.

"Oh haha," Rumble said but cracked a smile none of the less. "Anyway, we've been thinking about telling you some of the pranks we've pulled on old Screamer here since you seem to dislike him as much as we do."

I shook my head at that. "Rumble, Rumble, Rumble. Dislike is such a hash word, I prefer the word annoyed and pissed off. He keeps shaking the cage."

"That's more than one word," Frenzy said confused.

"And you're point is?" I asked, now sitting up and glancing down at them.

"Nothing, now you want to hear what we did to old Screamer just before you arrived?" Rumble asked, getting a bit annoyed that he isn't able to tell the story.

"Sure, got nothing better to do as of now," I responded.

"Ok well, he made some sort of insult to boss right behind his back and we didn't like it at all," Frenzy started before he noticed my confuse look on who is the boss cause it can't be Megatron or else they would have saying some sort of nickname for him. "Boss is the one who take cares of us."

"Yup, raised us since we were born," Rumble said, motioning with his hands on how small. "Anyway, he thought he was alone but he didn't realize that we were hiding in the shadows and well, we thought that he needed a lesson to be taught."

"So, we spent almost all day and night thinking of a good prank when we figure it out. Glue," Frenzy said smirking.

I blinked in confusion. "Glue?"

"Glue," Rumble agreed.

"And not just any glue, super glue," Frenzy said with a sinister grin.

It took me a while, maybe a minute or so, before it came to me. I allowed a similar grin like the ones they had appear on my face. "You didn't."

"Yup," they exclaimed, proud that I figured it out.

"Where?" I asked.

"Oh, just on the ceiling in one of the less visited storage rooms," Frenzy said like it was nothing.

I giggled at what had happen and that broke their control as well. We didn't know how long we were laughing but it was long enough for someone to enter the room without us noticing.

I was the first to notice that he was watching from the doorway. I had fell silent and just stared, it wasn't long till the twins noticed that I had stop laughing.

"Yo, Vic," Rumble called. "What's wrong?"

I just glanced at them before switching my glance back at the bot that was staring at us, well mostly me.

The twins followed my glance before gulping in fear.

"Um, hiya boss," they both said nervously.

The boss glanced at them before entering the room. He didn't speak and neither of us wanted to speak. It was very silent for a minute or two before he spoke.

"Query: Designation," he said in an emotionless voice.

I blinked at his way of speaking but answered. "Um, Victoria Simmers."

His optic visor dimmed and I waited for him to speak once more. I could hear the twins whispering to each other but I couldn't make out what they were saying. All I know that they sounded worried.

It wasn't long till the boss spoke once more and surprised me.

"Victoria Simmers: born November 1, 1994. 16 years old," he said before I cut him off in shock.

"I'm sorry but did you just say I'm 16?" I asked. He nodded and waited for a bit. "Aw, that means my birthday has past already."

"Vic, November 1 is today," Frenzy said.

I nodded. "Oh okay then so it's happy birthday to me."

The boss nodded before going on. "Admitted to hospital three times before age of 6 and twice before age of 8."

"Damn, what were you doing back then?" Rumble asked me.

I shrugged. "I felt like jumping off the roof," I said.

"Removed from birth family for abusing child and adopted five times before settling with the Simmers family."

I froze at that. How? How did he find that out? No one and I mean no one was supposed to know that. My birth family was kind to me till I reached the age of two then when I was the age of five, they took me away from them. Every year before I turned ten, I was sent to five different families, each one worse than the last. Those first ten years of my life wasn't the best. Every day, I woke up in fear and I just wanted to forget. The Simmers family gave me what I wanted the most and they made sure that anyone who searched through my files wouldn't figure out what I went through. Guess they weren't expecting advance aliens in breaking through the codes did they?

I was too lost in my thoughts that I didn't noticed how I had curled up into a ball and started to mummer that I wasn't there anymore. What did bring me back was the gentle tapping on my cage and the twins screaming out my name.

I blinked and stared up at the boss and watched as he lend close to the cage and stared at me. I guess he wanted to make sure that he had my attention and to make sure I wasn't going to go into another panic attack. It worked until he motioned the twins to come with him and started to leave the room.

I freaked at that. I had learned that if I remembered the past and left alone soon after, I remember more, all the names, the threats, everything. I didn't want to hear them again so I did what came to mind. I called out in fear, half knowing that he would ignore me like everyone else.

"Wait! Please don't go!" I cried out. I saw him pause so I continued. "Please, just not yet. Please don't leave me alone with them."

I could see him just standing there and I figure that he would leave me alone. I could feel tears coming and I didn't want to cry. So I rubbed my eyes, trying to stop the tears from falling. I heard footsteps and I prepared myself to be alone when I realized something. They weren't fading, no they were coming closer.

I glanced up and watched as he stood in front of my cage and opened the top door and placed something inside. He then gently picked me up and placed me next to the object and took a step back. I watched the object curiously as it suddenly transformed into a cat looking con.

"Ravage: oversee," he ordered, pointing at me before leaving with the twins close behind them. The twins glanced back at me and the cat con before disappearing down the hall.

Ravage turned towards me and glared before curling up against me. She just growled a warning before powering down her optic. I just stared before gently petting her. I could feel her tense up for a moment before relaxing and I smiled. Whatever my fate is, at least I'm being cared for.

Another tap was heard and I groan and curled up against the warmth near me. I'm too comfy and I could feel the warmth curled up against me as well. What did wake me up was the laughter.

"Aw, look at that! I didn't know Ravage even had a soft spot!" Frenzy giggled.

"I know! Where's a camera when you need one?" Rumble asked his voice full of laughter.

I groan once more. "Shut up," I mumbled.

"But it's so cute!" Frenzy said.

"Please be quiet or else," I grumbled angrily.

"Or else what?" Rumble questioned.

"I don't know, give me a minute to think of something," I reply before sitting up and yawning.

Stretching a bit, I glanced around to see Mr. Boss standing in front of my cage with the twins sitting on his shoulders. Blinking, I turned to my side to see Ravage curled up around me, her optic dim before brightening up and growled at the twins.

"Ravage: return," Mr. Boss said as he opened the top cage door and lowered his hand inside to collect the cat con.

Ravage stared at the hand before uncurling herself and stretching a bit. Just before she went to Mr. Boss, I called her name.

"Hey Ravage?" I said before smiling a bit. "Thanks for staying even though it wasn't your choice."

Ravage stared at me before going over towards me nuzzled against me for a bit, purring. After a second or so, she bounced off to Mr. Boss and they left. The twins called out goodbye and Ravage gave me a nod. Mr. Boss practically ignored me but I didn't care. I'm too use to it.

Hours passed and I haven't moved from my position, well instead of sitting up, I'm lying on my back staring up at the ceiling. I was silent and didn't even move when Screamer shouted some kind of insult at me. I know I was attracting some weird looks and even Knock Out was worry about me when he came to give me my food. Speaking of food, I haven't touched it at all. There's too much on my mind and its stuff I don't feel like talking about to anyone.

I chuckle a bit as I heard a passing con telling his friend, can cons even have friends? About how I must be becoming sane and realized what's going on and how I'm becoming fearful of them.

"Show me a sane man and I'll cure him for you," I called out to them.

I heard them jump and run off before I could tell them how I would do it. I chuckled again, how fun it is to be feared but it does get lonely most of the time.

Raising my hand towards the ceiling I hummed to myself as I lost myself into my thoughts once more.

"That's right, I'll cure him for you because there's no more hope for me to be normal," I said to myself and let my hand fall back down. Locking my fingers together on top my chest, I smiled sadly. "Isn't that right Helena?"

I heard a giggle off in the distance but I ignored it and closed my eyes. The last thing I heard were footsteps coming closer before I slipped into a dreamless dream.

ah, i feel sorry for Vic but don't worry, she'll be her normally insane self once more very soon. so? what do you think? well, see you next year! :p don't forget to R&R! hearing from you guys makes me happy! lol, have a happy new years!
