Eva moaned as she woke up and tried to move, sleeping on the cement floor of the warehouse with only a couple of blankets had left her extremely sore. Sitting up and stretching her back as well as she could Eva glanced around the warehouse and noticed Thundercracker standing near one of the large doors.
Slowly getting up and stretching she decided she had nothing better to do so she forced down what little fear they still caused and walked over towards him.
"What do you think you're doing up? You are not to be up walking around without Starscream's permission." he told when he noticed her.
Eva glared up at him, "Well I don't see him around and I need to stretch, if you don't like it, shoot me!" she said defiantly.
"Shouldn't you be afraid of me?" Thundercracker asked sounding a little shocked and irritated by her attitude.
"Well lets see, it's already been made quite clear to me that there's a good chance I won't survive carrying the monster that's inside of and if I do survive then I'll be imprisoned for the rest of my life. I'm going to either die or have a life worse than death to look forward to, why should I be afraid of you? The worse you can do to me is kill me and at least if you do then I don't have to suffer any longer and it'll ensure that one less of your kind comes into the world." Eva replied.
"I could easily break a few of your bones without killing you." he replied.
"Sure and put that extra stress on my body and risk killing the little monster? I highly doubt you would do that." Eva replied with more confidence than she felt.
Before Thundercracker could reply Starscream walked back into the warehouse. "What is she doing up? I told you not to let it be up and moving around while I was gone." Starscream demanded.
"You try controlling it when it's not half conscious from blood loss and then, if you do any better you can complain." Thundercracker replied.
Starscream looked down at Eva, "Get back over to your bed and stay there until I tell you to move." he ordered.
"Make me." she replied defiantly walking in the opposite direction and sitting down on some crates.
Starscream stood there rather shocked for a moment, "I said get over there now!" he ordered angrily.
"Go jump in a trash compactor." she replied before turning her back to him.
"She knows we won't hurt her as long as the sparkling is alive and seems to have no fear of us." Thundercracker told Starscream over their comlink.
"Why couldn't it have been a normal human that would have cowered in fear and obeyed without question?" Starscream asked.
"Because that would have made it too easy and Primus must hate you for some reason." Thundercracker replied then out loud asked, "Did you find a better place to keep the human?"
"Why don't you just let me go home, it would be less stressful on me and there for better for the little monster." Eva suggested.
"And risk you running away and telling the Autobots what I'm trying to do? I don't think so." Starscream replied, "I've found an abandoned house in a large forest north of here, it's remote enough if she tries to escape she won't survive long enough to get anywhere she can contact other humans. We will need to pick up more supplies to take care of her though." he told Thundercracker.
"We could always go back to my house for supplies, I doubt anyone has noticed I'm missing yet." Eva said, hoping that if she could get back to her house she could at least find a way to let someone know what had happened to her.
"And I'm sure you could try to contact someone and let them know what's going on while we're there." Starscream said.
"I can put out a jamming signal so she can't use the phone or internet or anything to communicate with anyone. It would be easier than having to steal everything we need for her or stealing the money from humans and then having to buy the stuff." Thundercracker said.
"Fine, as long as there's no sign of other humans in the area." Starscream said then reached over and gently picked Eva up.
"What do you think you're doing? Put me down!" Eva demanded.
"We're leaving, now shut up and stay still." he told her as the cockpit on his chest opened and he put her into the seat, the belts belting her in securely before he moved his hand away and the cockpit closed.
Eva kicked the glass of the cockpit then gasped as the seat or more correctly the rest of his body shifted while the seat stayed so that she was still sitting upright as his body transformed into a jet before taking off through the hole in the ceiling.

A while later they circled over Eva's house a few times before Starscream landed behind one of the barns, the cockpit opened and the belts released Eva.
As she began to try to climb out by herself a hand grabbed her's, "Let me help you, I don't need you falling and killing the sparkling." Starscream said.
"How do you do that?" Eva asked as she reluctantly let him help her down.
"It's called a holoform, and far to advanced for a human to understand. Now hurry up." he said half leading and half dragging her towards the house.
"What do you need from here?" Starscream asked her as they stepped into the house.
Eva stepped into the garage then handed him a couple of empty boxes, "Why don't you box up all the food in the kitchen while I go pack my clothes." she suggested as she grabbed a couple of burritos out of the fridge and threw them in the microwave.
"Fine, just don't forget, Thundercracker is blocking all communication signals and if you try to escape he'll see you." Starscream told her.
"I know." she replied angrily then after grabbing the burritos headed up to her room.
Once she was in her room she grabbed her largest suitcase out of the closet and quickly tossed all of her clothes that she could into it then walked over to her nightstand and grabbed a pen and paper. She quickly wrote kidnapped, Decepticons, taking me north somewhere, contact Autobots, Starscream, Thundercracker, sparkling, trying to grow it-. Eva quickly stuck the note under her alarm clock when she heard someone coming up the stairs and hoped that it would be enough to let someone know what was going on, if anyone found it. She quickly grabbed a small pocket knife off of the night stand, and stuck it into her bra, if she did survive carrying the little alien monster and wasn't rescued she would kill herself before she spent the rest of her life as a prisoner. She then walked over to the closet and pulled out another suitcase as Starscream stepped into the room.
"How long is this going to take you?" he asked impatiently.
"Well I don't exactly know where you're taking me so I have to pack everything I might need, plus I'm trying to eat while I pack since you didn't exactly give me time to eat anything before we left." she replied taking another bite of her food before she started stuffing her pillow and blankets into the suitcase then grabbed another suitcase and headed into the bathroom.
When she came back out Starscream was just returning from taking the first two suitcases downstairs. "So, this place in the middle of a forest that you're taking me to, does it have electricity? She asked.
"I don't know, I didn't check." Starscream replied.
"Well you're real helpful." she replied shoving the suitcase into his arms before grabbing her iPod and it's speakers and heading downstairs.
Once downstairs she grabbed another box and put her laptop and a huge pile of DVDs into it then filled another box with books.
"Do you really need all of this?" Starscream asked.
"Only if you don't want me to get bored, but if you don't mind me having nothing better to do than think of new ways to describe how unbelievably ugly you are then you can just leave those last two boxes here." she replied as she walked out of the room trying not to smile when he started to carry the boxes out to where he had set the others.
Once she was sure they had grabbed everything she might need or want Thundercracker landed and Starscream loaded as much of the stuff as he could fit into his cockpit. "Why do I have to carry all of this stuff?" Thundercracker asked.
"Because I have to transport the pain in the aft human, unless you would rather deal with her." Starscream said.
"Hey bird brain, if there isn't a decent bed where you're taking me, grab the bed out of the spare bedroom, I can't possibly sleep on the floor again, it hurts me and if I'm in pain it causes me stress which isn't good for a pregnant woman." Eva said walking up next to his foot.
"Did she just call you bird brain?" Thundercracker asked.
"Well it works doesn't it? His face kind of reminds me of a bird of pray. Okay I've never seen any bird that ugly, but in some deformed way it does, so bird brain works." she said ignoring the irritated growl from Starscream as she walked away.
"I'm perfectly fine with being the luggage carrier, load me up. I'll even make the second trip if we have to
bring the bed." Thundercracker told Starscream.
