Trust Ch7 ~ Comfort
SOOO sorry I haven't updated in a long time, I have been very busy and also procrastinating. :P these next two chapters will be short but anways here is chapter 7! _
Everyone ran to the direction of the scream, Ironhide's room.
They got there quick, but Sunstreaker and Sideswipe got there quicker. Sideswipe was pulling her out from under the bed and held her to his chestplate. She was crying hysterically. "What happened!?" asked Ironhide. At his voice she turned around and held her arms out to him to take her from Sideswipe. Sideswipe handed her over and Ironhide just looked at the twins accusingly. "We didn't do anything!" they said in unison.
"Well if it wasn't you, what happened?" asked Ratchet. "I don't know" started Sunstreaker. "We were walking past the room as she screamed, it made us both jump. We come in, she's gone, I check under the bed and she sitting under there crying hysterically. I swear!" finished Sunstreaker.
"Hmmm. . nightmare perhaps?" Inquired Optimus. "I wouldn't be surprised" added Ratchet. "And given the state you found her in, Optimus, i wouldn't be surprised if something horrific must have happened. Or if she saw what happened." Ratchet added the last part quietly. Everyone felt anger and sadness. Anger for whoever caused this much pain to the sparkling and sad for the sparkling who had to endure it. "Let's go to the main room" suggested Jazz. Ironhide nodded and walked out.
Ironhide was sitting on the couch with the still sobbing Moonstreak. Jazz walked over to Ironhide with low-grade energon and offered it to her. She turned her head away and continued to cry. "She always takes her energon" said Wheeljack. Ratchet just sighed.
"What next"? asked Sunstreaker. "Hmm, maybe a walk outside would work" mumbled Ironhide more to himself. He got up and walked away sparkling in arms and headed out of Autobot base. "What did he say" asked sideswipe. "Don't know, something bout a walk I think." said Jazz. 'Not a bad idea' thought Ratchet. Then it clicked. "Ugh, Ironhide!" Ratchet said running after the weapons specialist.
The sky was blue, the air fresh and crisp, little bits foliage here and there that swayed in the breeze and sun shone through the clouds. Everything was perfect; except for a crying sparkling being held in another bots arms.
"Come on Moonstreak, you have to calm down" Ironhide pleaded. He's thankful that she's at least stopped crying hysterically and wailing but she was stull crying, tears rolling down her face. Being outside did seem to calm her down some. Ironhide now walked down a small narrow path that lead to a pond of surprisingly clear and rare water. Ironhide set her down next to the pond and then sat down next to her. Ashe had stopped crying at this point but tears still rolled. "Moonstreak, do you want to talk about what happened?" Ironhide asked not really sure if she would even understand.
To his surprise she spoke. "My dream is scary, I don't like it" she said. "What's it about?" he asked. Moonstreak only wailed and went into hysterics again. Ironhide grabbed her and held her to his chestplate while rubbing her back. 'Okay wrong question' he thought.
Back at Base the others sat around the table.
"What are we going to do with her?" asked Wheeljack. "We could give her to an orphanage" suggested Sideswipe. "NO! Are you crazy!?" yelled Jazz. "Why not, she might make friends with other sparklings her own age and could find a family" said Sunstreaker. "No, she has a hard time with new bots, she doesn't trust other easily, she would most likely have a hard time there. She's still weary of some of us even" added Ratchet.
"Well what if one of us adopts her, became her guardian?" Everyone stared at jazz, mouths open.
"What?"
Ironhide managed to calm her down again. She sat next to him, tears still rolling down her cheeks when something catches her attention. Ironhide was staring off in the distance and looking at the landscape below. Moonstreak leaned closer stretching forward on her knees' reaching out for the strange object in the pond. Her hand touched the surface of the water when suddenly she was grabbed and pulled back by two large hands.
"Almost lost you there" said Ironhide now holding her. "What were you thinking, you could have fallen in." he said a little annoyed which was mainly at himself for not really paying attention. She was just staring at the water, fascinated. Her tears had stopped.
"What are you looking at" Ironhide got up and held her up so she could have a better view.
There, swimming in the middle of the pond was a medium metallic robotic fish like creature. The creature had two sharp fins and on each fin were two rod like decorations that came down at the bottom of the fin at a sharp point. As the creature swam the spikes on its back swayed and moved with it. The creature had metallic like scales that shone brightly reflecting the rays of the sun off of it and sent light rays across the pool. Even Ironhide was mesmerized for a second.
"Pretty!" Moonstreak said in a happy trill. 'At least she stopped crying' Ironhide thought. They stayed and watched the fish like creature for a while. "I hungry" said Moonstreak suddenly. "Okay lets go back and get some energon." said Ironhide. He turned and both headed back for base.
Again this chapter and the next will be short, very short. Hope you liked!
