Sorry it took so long for an update, but once again I didn't know exactly what should happen next. I also have been editing past chapters. But here we are and I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: Unfortunatley I do not own any of the transformers. I only own my OC and most of the storyline.
Chp. 10
My eyes blink open. Everything around is dark, but as soon as I feel my bed sheets I realize I'm in my room. That was some dream. I think to myself, No, not a dream. A nightmare. A terrible one. I try to push the images of Bluestreak chained up from my head, but they won't go away.
Something moves on the right side of my room and, when I look, I can't see anything. It's too dark. That is, until two bright blue optics open and a soft light emits through the blackness.
"It's about time you got up." Bluestreak says softly. I can't see it, but I bet he's smiling
"What are you doing in here?" I ask trying not to sound rude.
Bluestreak doesn't answer. I sometimes forget that the Autobots are able to get into my room. The rooms have huge garage-like metal doors so they could enter and exit, but when I got here they closed it up and made me a second door that was my size.
"I mean, I don't have a problem with you being in my room." I tell him attempting to lighten my question.
His blue optics glance around the room, "Do you remember anything?"
I squint my eyes at him until the pictures of Bluestreak being kidnapped, chained up, beaten, strangled pop into my head and his screams echo in my ears. Closing my eyes, I breathe a shaky breath, "That wasn't a dream?" His optics shake from side to side.
"Do you remember healing me at least?"
I shake my head.
"You passed out as soon as I woke up."
"I passed out?" His optics bob up and down. I watch them dart around the room, looking anywhere but where I'm sitting. Staring at the bright blue color, I see that his eyes droop at the ends and his blinking is slow.
"Blues, how long have you been here?"
He looks at the ceiling, "I came to earth a while ago-"
"That's not what I meant."
"Oh." Bluestreak gazes around, "All night." He sighs.
"Why?"
"...To keep an eye on you."
I only believe half of that is true. I can see it in his optics that he's hiding something, that he's holding something back. I sigh, "Why are you really here?"
He shifts his weight uncomfortably, "Can't sleep."
I look at him, "Do you want to talk about it?"
His eyes gaze into my mine deeply before he turns away, "No."
When I wake up the next morning, Bluestreak is gone. I get up slowly and, when I make it on my feet, the worst headache washes over me. Holding my head as the pain hits, I clench my teeth hard. But as soon as it starts, it fades away. I wait for something else to happen, to get dizzy or lose my balance, but nothing else does.
When I'm dressed, I leave my room and head to the main area of the base. To my surprise nobody is around except for Ratchet.
"Ratchet?"
He turns around from the computer, "Yes?"
"Where is everyone?"
He turns back to the screen, "...Energon run."
I nod my head then tilt it to the side, "Energon run? But what about-"
"You have energon for blood that is equivalent to 10 energon cubes, but that's still not enough for all of us. Plus, it exhausts you."
"Is there a way to make it not exhaust me?"
He doesn't look away from the screen, "Not that I know of."
"Did you look at the photos I took of the Decepticon thing?"
"I was planning to today. I will after they get back."
After that, a long silence builds up and a few minutes pass before I awkwardly step away and climb up the stairs to sit on the couch. I turn on the TV remembering that today was Saturday so I don't have to log in to school and Jack, Miko, and Raf are coming earlier today than they do on weekdays. After the energon run, Arcee, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee will probably pick them up.
I hear Ratchet speaking into the comm link and I turn down the TV to listen to what everyone is talking about.
"Yes Optimus?" Ratchet says.
"Can you tell me Bluestreak's coordinates?" Ratchet turns away from the screen showing all the vitals of the Autobots. On the other screen is a map with each Autobot tracked on it.
"He's in front of the cave." Ratchet tilts his head, "Why do you ask?"
"Bluestreak came in with us to the cave. Deceptions had made it here before us and he left mid-battle." Arcee's voice comes in.
"Why would he do that?" Ratchet asks.
Smokescreen cuts in, "Dunno, but he high tailed outta here pretty fast once the fight started."
"But why of all people would Bluestreak-" Then suddenly Bluestreak's signal starts to blink, moving farther away from the cave.
"Ratchet? What's wrong?" Smokescreen says.
His signal keeps getting farther and farther away from the Autobot's. I sit up in the couch and watch the flashing signal move away from the cave on the map. Where's he going?
"He's moving away from your position." Ratchet says stunned, "He's gone AWOL."
