~Chapter 5: Dreaming~

Turns out though, nothing new happened after that Saturday except for the fact Jack and Miko hung out with and brought their little friend raf with them. Deana didn't mind being with friends after school, but the fact that they looked to be hiding something made her supiscous. So by the end of the next week, Deana exited the school building carrying her back pack and taking her scooter out of it.

"Hi Deana!" Raf was the first to greet her, he was the first of them to leave the school building.

"Hi Raf, bye Raf." Deana said, going down the steps.

Raf blinked and hopped up from his perch on one of the steps. "aren't you going to wait for Miko and Jack?"

"Nope."

Deana unfolded the scooter and hopped on it before kicking off and leaving the twelve year old behind at the building. She wanted nothing but to get home, to take a nap. It had been that day during lunch that Deana had found a way to get answers to memories that were not completely clear.

Something called Lucid Dreaming, you can control your dreams and ask your sub-conscious a question then you get an answer. Deana was going to give it a try but not that night, she wanted an answer before night so she had to ignore her friends she had made at the school. Friends that, though it felt like they were hiding something and like Miko was a theif for taking her picture, they felt sort of like family. Like Jack he was nice and tried to keep Miko from doing anything that would somehow hurt Deana's feelings.

"He feels like a brother." Deana sighed as she stopped at a crosswalk.

Jack drove up on his motorcycle to the stop light by the crosswalk. "Deana, why didn't you wait for me and Miko?"

"I need a nap." Deana shrugged.

"Yeah but we were going to take you somewhere and show you something." Jack replied. "Something that could help you with answers to who or what killed your parents."

Deana blinked. "Uhhh...No." she managed to say. "I'm okay being clueless."

The crosssignal flashed on then, so Deana waved a quick goodbye to Jack and crossed the street. She kicked off around the corner in the direction to her house before she changed her mind at what Jack had said.

...

Jack watched as Deana disappeared around the corner. "I really thought she'd want answers." he said.

"Maby telling her about us and Arachnid can wait." Arcee said. "When she's ready."

Jack nodded then when the redlight turned green they sped off in the direction of the Autobot base. Though it felt odd that Deana acted like she was in a hurry, as if she had finally figured out the mystery of her parents' murder. Deana couldn't have though. COuld she? No. Jack shook his head, though Deana seemed to act like she did or at least like she was about to.

"Maby she wanted to find out how she escaped Arachnid?" Jack suggested to nobody in particular.

...

Deana leaned her scooter against her desk before dropping her backpack on the surface, Kitten hung loosely from a side pocket where Deana picked her up and put her gently on the bed. Afterwards Deana pulled paper and pencils out of her backpack and got to work on finishing the picture she had been drawing all day at school, the drawing of who she'd escaped. She lay down in bed and fell asleep after slipping the picture under her pillow so it wouldn't slip from her mind.

Just then the young girl felt as her back rubbed againt warm metal very soon after she heard that sentence. Deana spun around as fast as she could to see what was behind her only to fall backwards onto her butt when she spotted what was behind her.

It was a tall humanoid metal being with folded up spider legs portraiding from its back, it had glowing purple eyes and had fangs sticking from it's mouth; Deana swallowed, feeling for the first time fright to something that was or was like a sspider. The humanoid spider was too tall for the basement so it stayed crouched like a Hopping Spider ready to leap out of danger or toward an easy meal if not on its web. Deana opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out not even a squeak.

"Awe, don't worry I won't hurt you little one." she said to Deana, looking closer at the frightened girl. "I just need somewhere to stay since my ship is destroyed."

Deana held tighter onto her stuffed animal, hoping if he did so that'd she'd wake up from this horrible horrible dream she had found herself in. The robotic humanoid spider continued speaking. "I'm also looking for subjects for my little project."

She slowly half walked alf crawled in her crouching position around Deana. "I like to study endangered species maby getting a kick out of doing expirements on them."

A whimper escaped Deana's throat as her fear heightened as well as her sorrow at the sight of her parents. What was going to happen to her? Deana's eyes stung andd tears began to dribble down her soft cheeks. Why did thi thing kill her parents? What was it? Looking up Deana saw a dark smirk curl the metallic lips of said being.

"Of course the species isn't endangered until I get there." she said, still cirling Deana. "This will be a lovely place to stay, having a family of humans in it after all."

"P-Please don't hurt me." Deana choked out eventually.

What came as a reply was a nice evilish laugh. "I wouldn't think to." then she moved her face close to Deana. "Not unless you make this game fun, unlike your creaters...or parents as humans call them."

Deana watched herself run away, from where she stood and even if she did not try to walk, she found she was moving as well. Even if this part of her memory was when she had forgotten she asked aloud how she had managed to escape. When her voice echoed to the rewinding dream Kitten fell from her arms and the dream disipitated to where instead of what had actually happened the basement became empty with except for empty cobweb caccons dangling from the ceiling from where her parents had been.

There was hole in the center of the empty basement, this was where Kitten lay dangling over the edge of the hole. "Kitten?"

Kitten's head turned slowly with a slight creaking sound. "Go to the woods Deana, see your answer." Kitten said in Deana's voice only it was raspy.

"How-"

"Forget about me, just go before the answer disappears!" snapped Kitten.

Before she could respond to that, Kitten fell down the hole followed by the scene disappearing before Deana's eyes. Next thing she knew she was watching herself jump out of her bedroom window then dash into the woods, the spider thing drilled out of the ground and ran after Deana on eight long metal spider legs.

"Kitten fell." Deana whimpered, but did as she was told and took off after the robotic thing that has haunted her for some days now.

...

"She won't answer." Jack told Arcee, after knocking on the front door for the tenth time now and returning to her on the driveway. "Why is it so important that we tell Deana about ya'll and Arachnid again?"

"It's not, but scans show Arachnid is nearing the area." Arcee replied. "Most likely coming after Deana, we need to get her to safety.

...

Deana skidded to a stop with wide eyes at the scene she saw now, they had stopped in a clearing near a gorge in the woods and Deana saw herself stuck to a tree by the same cobweb goop as her parents had been hung from. The spider thing chuckled as she stalked up to Deana then froze as a beeping came from somewhere.

"Energon?" she hissed. "But how?"

She used one her long sharp metal fingers to slice open the cobweb goop, Deana was motionless with fright as the thing before her scanned her. "Ah, so there's a Spark inside your heart."

What's a spark, wondered the real Deana while she still watched. "What do you mean? What is a spark? What are you?"

"Me? I'm Arachnid a Cybertronian and a spark is pretty much a Cybertronian's heart." came the answer.

Arachnid? So that's what she's called, but why is there a cybertronian's or an alien's heart inside her? It just doesn't make sense! Arachnid chuckled. "Too bad it's killing you," Arachnid tapped Deana's heart. "Maby I can find some empty Cybertronian shell and put it in it when you die, maby I can train you as my little assistent."

..

Deana jerked awake clutching Kitten in her arms as if her life depends on it. "If that was the answer I was looking for, I wish I hadn't found it." she murmured, stareing off blankly into space.

A/N:

How's that for a chapter? I think it was interesting, hope ya'll did too. But the story isn't over yet, we still have to see what the future holds for us. Poor Deana though, she's dieing, except for the spark in her heart-lets hope her spark doesn't die also. Again though we just have to wait and see what the future holds.
