Chapter 6 The Open Road

Slowly but surely Miko woke up the next morning, she still felt horrible from last night's events but she was just happy to be alive. She then noticed she was warmer than usual, she then saw a large protective arm around her and looked up into the face of a still sleeping Megatron.

She could feel the heat rising to her face, he must have stayed here, to protect me…..

Suddenly his violet eyes fluttered open and Miko's heart skipped a beat as slight panic set in. He looked down to see a very flustered looking human girl who was staring with a slight panic and fear in her eyes at him.

"You look like I'm going to kill you." He said with slight amusement in his voice, she smiled and looked down still red faced.

"Well who wouldn't…." She trailed off and he slowly got up letting her go and sitting up in the bed. She noticed that his neck and ears were a slightly redder shade and smirked knowing she wasn't the only one flustered.

"You should get ready, we have a long day of riding ahead of us." He said quickly feeling her gaze on him as he made his way out of her room.

Once he was gone Miko let out a sigh of relief and facepalmed, oh god damn it all…

She gets dressed for the day and meets her companion in front of the tavern where two black horses are strung up and ready for departure. Megatron, fully armored and everything, looks to a slightly pale Miko.

"You going to be alright to travel?" He asked concerned.

She smirked, "Aw, you do care about me." He scoffed and turned away but not before noticing a faint blush on his face. They mounted the horses and started heading back onto the road heading deeper into Barovia.

Two hours Later…

As they road along side by side they took in the eerie dark forest that surrounded them, knowing that the Gallows was coming up sooner then later Miko needed some way of distracting herself from that horrid thing and the general horror of this place. She thought for a minute until a idea came to her, she thought that Megatron wouldn't like it but who cares, she need some respite from all of this.

Megatron was surprised when his fellow companion began to sing but as she sung from a unknown source music started to play along with her, he looked for the source to see her staff slightly glowing

The unknown terror

That stood alone

Passed from the days of the early suns

Through worlds of lost belief

Laid waste and buried deep

As she sung he say the lyrics and this place were in the same.

Summoned to be set up to fall

But there's no fear

That lives inside this soul

Inside this world

There is no way back to forgiving us

Undone, deliverer

The sinful and the saviors of the innocent

Megatron would never admit this to anyone, but she made a good singer.

And so

Keepers of old

Keep us from cold

Let us fight once more

Till our honor is restored

The unknown terror

That lives below

Breaths the flames from the dying suns

And lives to wake the dying ones

The dying ones

The dying ones

(The dying ones)

(The dying ones)

Inside this world

There is no way back to forgiving us

Undone, deliverer

The sinful and the saviors of the innocent

And so

Keepers of old

Keep us from cold

Let us fight once more

Till our honor is restored

When she finished the music cut off with her, her eyes were closed and when she opened them she saw Megatron staring at her with a strange look in his eyes.

"W-What?" She asked feeling regret for her actions.

He snapped out of his trance, "I uh, didn't know you could sing." He could feel his face warming from embarrassment.

"Well I can, I plan on being a rockstar some day after all." She said like he already knew.

"You have a talent that's for sure." He huffed, Miko smirked feeling the previous emotions slip away being replaced with a more pleasant emotion.

"Thanks, I think you're the first person other than Bulkhead to appreciate my goals." She said with a longing expression ahead, Megatron seemed to frown at this.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, my parents are these rich assholes who want nothing more then to marry me off to another rich family, Jack and Raf aren't into my stuff and the only one who really appreciates me for being me is Bulk, so….." She trailed off feeling the prick of tears in her eyes but holding them back.

"Hmph, well that isn't right. If I were you I would never stop defining them, show them that you can be great just by being you. Show them you are better than they thought." Miko looked at Megatron and a thought came to here.

"What about you, did you have parents or whatever Cybertronians had?" He looked forward, his eyes glazing over as memories flooded his mind.

"No, I wasn't born I was created as a slave, a miner before I made my way to the Pits of Kaon and rose in the ranks of gladiators until winning my freedom. I began a path down to revolution, to set the wrongs of my world and to free the oppressed people. You can see how that went." She looked back to the road.

"You had good intentions when you started it seems, yet you lost your way." He was silent, "But it is never too late, you started this with a good spark and you can always find a way back. I know this true, trust me." He sighed and thought about her words as they silently made there forward into this death trap.
