Hey guys! This chapter is going to be shorter than the others and you'll see why but don't worry, they should stay roughly the same length, depending on what episode. I'm going to wait until tomorrow for the 5th chapter so I'll hurry up with this one.

Disclaimer: I don't own transformers, only my OC's, as much as I want to and just have them chilling in my lounge room drinking energon.

Jazz: Stahp pesterin' da readers! Jeez!

Me: Ok! On with the chapter!

I noticed I didn't do this earlier but you pretty much know some of them.

Yeah that's it for now so… onwards!

Darkness Rising Part 4

Emmaline's P.O.V.

I ran up the stairs to the platform with the communications info. I searched through the data and found that Arcee did contact less than a minute ago, so I decided to try and comm. her. I pressed the "talk" button and spoke into the mic. "Arcee? You there? I noticed you tried to contact us earlier but I couldn't get here in time."

:: Emz! Thank Primus someone is there. Can you bridge us back?:: Arcee asked frantically.

"Sure." I locked onto their positions and activated a bridge. Arcee and Bee came zooming in and they transformed, walking up to the platform I was on.

/We heard Miko ran off after Bulkhead and tried to contact Jack, Raf or you but no one answered./ Bee said.

"Well that explains where Miko disappeared to, I went to grab some food and when I came back, Raf and Jack were gone." I told them, mentally reminding myself to smack Miko upside the head Gibb's slap style… again.

/Can you bridge us to where they went?/

"Yeah but because o the Nemesis's fields were either put back up or fixed or whatever they did, I can't get your signals when your there so you'll have to make sure you're far enough away to get a ground bridge back."

"We got it," Arcee said as I activated the coordinates, "Stay here." She demanded. I nodded and waved good-bye as they disappeared through the ground bridge. I sighed. Alone again. Great. (Note the sarcasm?)

-Time skip—

I waited. And waited. And waited some more. It was killing me inside. I tried passing the time playing video games: got bored. Listening to music: fell asleep. After I woke up I tried watching TV: got bored again. I was absolutely jumping for joy when the others called to come back. I was going to ask them what took them so long and what happened but decided against it when I saw their serious faces. I went up and greeted them and help load Fowler on a gurney. I'd ask later.

Not too long after that, Optimus and Ratchet returned and Ratch had to get a metal brace attached to his arm. I was standing down in front of him on the platform as he was explaining what happened. I felt worried for both of them but mostly Ratchet. I don't know why but he just has this… thing about him that comforts me. I heard Miko and Jack arguing but snapped my head towards Jack as he said he didn't want to be there anymore. "It was never our intention to put you in harms way, but if you wish to leave you can." Optimus told him as Ratchet typed some things into the ground bridge and opened it. He motioned his hand to the portal and said,

"No point in long good-byes, here's the door." I glared at him from my spot and walked down to where the others were. Jack looked at me and asked,

"What about you? You coming or staying?"

I shook my head and him and answered, "I'm staying, sorry. You'd understand if you knew." Whispering the last bit as I did. He gave me a weird look but shrugged it off and kept walking. Once he left it was silent for a while. The 'bots all went to do their own things, Miko and Bulk' went for a drive and Raf told me the events of what happened. An hour later Ratchet took me home.

-Time skip to on the way home-

I was sitting in Ratch's cab when he started to talk to me. "Emmaline, we need to talk." He sternly said.

"What about?"

"Your housing arrangement."

I gulped. I don't like where this is heading…

"I have talked with Optimus and he wishes to know why you live here, along with myself. Don't younglings like you live in nice houses with families like Jack, Raf and Miko?"

"Generally but… not me."

"Why?"

"It's a… touchy subject Ratch, I'll tell ya later."

He was silent after that for the rest of the trip.

After we arrived, I got out and went inside my shack I call "home" and laid down on my mattress. As I was lying there, I could only think of when I'll have to tell the others about my true life, my past…

Hey there! So here's the new chapter and the next one will probably be up sometime at night tomorrow Eastern Standard Time. Thanks to all who have read but yeah! Review if you want, I'd like to know what some of you guys think of this story!
