Hasbro owns Transformer

Alright last chapter seemed to be a fluke and now that I re-read it was ridiculous. So here's the next chapter early and with more action. We finally get to bring our seekers home! Lets just skip half the day because I am tired of this arc. Shhh.

Chapter 10 Reunited

"So you know the plan?" I whispered to Sideswipe as I approached Richards' cabin.

"Yup, get in get out with seeker brothers while you deal with Richard. Good luck to you." He said as I felt him salute sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes as I walked up the stairs and knocked on Richards' door. The door immediately opened. It made me slightly uncomfortable that he was waiting for me right at the door. "Brittney, nice to see you again." He smiled.

I did also, trying to fight my hate towards him. Now I was fully doing this for Starscream my dislike towards the guy was fully renewed. How dare he cause my mech pain! I made an effort to not strangle him right then and there and walked in. "Same." I said quickly. I took off my hoodie making sure Sideswipe stayed hidden. Once we left, he would retrieve the seekers and hide them in my hoodie where afterwards I would carry them back to my cabin. The plan was foolproof.

I placed it on the couch and smiled. "It was warmer than I expected it to be tonight." I laughed.

Richard nodded his head giving my hoddie a careful gaze. "Well, should we get going then?"

"Sure, why not?" I said as he walked out of the cabin first. I gave one last glance at the hoodie as Sideswipe looked after me. One slight nod of his helm was all I needed to know that he was determined to save the seeker trine.

Richard seemed to not notice my long glare as he locked the front door. "So how was your day? I noticed you were gone for the day."

I cringed while his back was to me. Creeper much? "Um, yeah we went to town again today. There was a village wide sale going on."

He turned around and offered his hand to which I reluctantly obliged to hold. We walked down the steps and down the rocky ground to where it led to the island. "Oh, did you find anything you liked? I would have taken you myself."

He wasn't a conversationalist either. "Yeh, I got a yellow robot ring and a pair of glasses."

Richard smiled. "Oh, yes, you were into that robot toy line…what was it again transmorphers?"

I cringed at the mention of the knock-off movie. Oh Jesus just no. I was very quick to correct him. "Transformers."

"Oh, sorry, I knew the name sounded funny."

My laugh was small. "Yes, I am still into them."

His voice became low and I had to wonder if he was catching onto something. I knew very well he was. "Has your collection grown by any chance?"

I shook my head. "No, money's tight and all…" I lied. I was not risking the safety of my mech to this sadistic loser.

"Tell me about it. My parents can only run a big corporation for so long before we have to resort to middle class jobs."

Really? Did I mention his parent were rich snobs? Apparently they were starting to rub off on him. "Can I point out that I'm middle class? And since when do we talk about money? Or status?" I question narrowing my eyes at him and ripping my hand from his.

He noticed my very apparent annoyed tone though. "Sorry I didn't mean to offend you." He sounded sincere once again. I could only imagine that he was just a good actor.

"…It's alright." I said quietly my annoyance not disappearing. We had made it to the bridge by now to which Richard led me over. Once again I reluctantly followed. This time we sat on the wooden bench that I would sit on to watch the moon and lake.

It made me feel sick and violated that he was using a place I loved so much for his own sick plan. Whatever I wasn't doing anything with him tonight and if he tried…well I could just give him a piece of my mind and fists.

We were silent as we took in the view it wasn't much since it was cloudy. It was supposed to rain tonight maybe storm. Usually it doesn't. The lake was a murky black and calm. The sound of the gentle waves lapping against the rocky shore was absent. It was such a contrast to last night. Compared to last night it was a dream and now it was just unattractive and uncomfortable.

Richard started to realize the increasing awkward silence and decided to speak. "Brittney, I feel something isn't right tonight. Is something wrong?" He asked carefully his voice low once again.

My heart raced as I tried to come up with an excuse. I swallowed looking over to him with a shy smile. "I'm tired Richard. You know me when I am tired. I'm quiet and I stare into space a lot."

"Yes, but it feels like you are hiding something from me…" He said his voice never changing. I swallowed hard. I had a feeling he was catching on and I didn't have a lot of time left.

Sideswipe immediately jumped down from the couch and started to make his way to the kitchen. Determination was written on his faceplates as he skated his way to the cabinet. He opened it slowly and as expected the seekers were not there.

Taking a risk he cupped his hands around his mouth. "Thundercracker, Skywarp! Come on out!" He yelled. In return the mech received silence.

Sideswipe skated to the each bedroom and yelled out their names again. The twin was now starting to panic and resolve the worst. What if he was already too late? Sideswipe growled shaking his helm. He was becoming frustrated.

Sunstreaker immediately was there to make the emotion go away with assurance. "Don't you dare give up bro. I'm not gonna waste my efforts sparkling-sitting Starscream." Translation: Please don't give up on Starscream because I know you can do better-we are in this together.

Sideswipe rolled his optics, sighing slowly through his tiny air vents. He knew his brother meant good. He just had trouble arranging his words and meanings. "Fine." He replied brushing his brother's spark-an equivalent to a pat on the shoulder. Their bond was once again quiet as he continued to search.

Sideswipe shook his helm placing his hands on his hips looking around. "Guys!" He yelled out once again. He listened carefully, tuning his audio's to pick up any delicate sound. He narrowed his optics when finally he picked up a faint tapping. The biggest grin was spread upon his lips as he followed the sound not daring to make any noise himself so he could pin-point the source of the tapping.

Sideswipe was led to an open closet in one of the bedrooms. Inside Sideswipe became tense as his optics landed on a metal box with no holes in it. Sideswipe rushed forward placing his hands on the metal case feeling for a lock of some sort.

The mech did a scan of the metal container and receive two faint spark signatures. "Hold on! I'm gunna get you out!" Sideswipe said not sure if he was assuring the mechs or himself.

Richard sat closer to me placing his hand in mine. I was getting uncomfortable. "You are so different from last night…" He pouted.

I laughed but it was too bitter. "Like I said I'm tired." I felt like saying something else that wasn't as controlled as what I'd said.

He leaned in close to my face wanting to size my lips. I backed away. "You are making me very uncomfortable, Rick." I said sternly.

Richard narrowed his eyes pausing for a long moment. "Is there someone else Brittney?"

I scoffed. "No. My comfort level is different from last night and I want you to understand I'm not up to any of your romantics tonight."

He became defensive something that made my heart beat a little faster. Hopefully he didn't become the type of guy that strikes out. "Then what was the point of us coming out tonight?"

I growled. "You know what. This is why it can't work." Oh great! Another alibi. Internally I was relieved. "You were always paranoid. Can you just respect that after so long of being separated you show up outtta no where and expect me to kiss your feet!"

He flinched back and looked down to the ground. He seemed hurt but I knew damn well it was an act. He didn't get better after the years, he got worse-delusional and twisted.

I felt a vibration in my pocket and he also perked up at the sound. I kept his suspicious glare with narrowed eyes as I took it out and slid the keyboard out. 'Found them. In metal box. Locked. Need more time.' I panicked. No, no, no, this was not how it was planned.

I looked up seeing he caught my panic. He leaned forward but I closed my phone. "It was my mom." I said defiantly to which he nodded slowly to. I sighed shaking my head placing a hand through my hair. I was trying to come up with something to stall time. The problem was that I couldn't. I was running out of time and patience with him.

Reluctantly I looked up at him. In order to make time I had to make him have his way with me. I grimaced. That was never going to happen "What do you really want Richard?" I asked my voice low and dangerous. I already knew what he wanted but I wanted him to admit it.

He examined me before laughing quietly as if he had told a classy joke. Narrowing my eyes I shook my head in confusion. "Well?"

"Oh Britt, you were always too innocent for your own good."

At this my heart sank. Time had run out.

Sideswipe growled using his cybertonium sword to lever the metal box open. To get better traction the mech had folded his wheeled feet up onto his ankles, using his peds for a firmer stance. With one final effort he gave up, slouching at the relief in his arms. "Primus." He gasped flicking his wrists to rid the pain.

The mech had tried everything, picking the lock, levering it, and cutting into the metal with his denser alloyed blades. Nothing seemed to work. He shook his helm staring at the bent metal where he tried levering the lid open. Sideswipe was about to give up but the mech saw that the top of the lid had handles. They were embedded into the top through a hole that went inside.

Sideswipe smiled jumping up onto the box with a tiny clang. "Hold on, I got an idea." He announced knowing the mechs heard him. Placing a finger in the hole he tested if it would be enough to tear it open with his blade. He shook his helm. There was no time to do testing. He just needed to work fast. "Back up into the corners if you can mechs. I'm going in." He waited for a moment for them to do as he said.

With an intake of air he raised his blade and slammed hard onto the hole, unhinging the handle in the process. Sideswipe looked down seeing the hole was now sliced horizontally.

It worked. Now all he had to do was slice a hole through the slit. Carefully, Sideswipe worked the blade up and down sawing his way through the thin metal in a circular shape. Sparks flew as his stronger alloyed blade cut through the cheep metal with ease. With a final cut Sideswipe retracted his blade and slammed his foot on the circle he'd cut through the top. He smiled as it fell into the metal box with a clatter flooding light into it.

"Knock, knock." He couldn't help but say after he jumped through the hole both big enough for the seekers and him.

He turned to see Thundercracker holding his brother close to his spark. A weak smile crossed his faceplates seeing the silver mech highlighted by the flooding light. Sideswipe reached his hand out making the light dace across his armor.

The oldest seeker reached forward gripping his hand. "Never in my life had I felt relief upon seeing an Autobot."

At one moment we were sitting there my heart beating faster than normal and then the next moment he was pulling me by the arm. I dragged my feet across the rock and struggled against his firm and tight grip. I didn't yell or scream for help. It would bring attention to the situation and then end up into another problem or worse the safety of my mechs.

"Let me go." I hissed.

He didn't reply as I gave up and reluctantly followed after him. My footsteps were heavy and chaotic trying to keep up with his pace.

My mind reeled as I once again tried to get out of his grip. This time he stopped yanking my arm almost pulling it out of the socket. It was a silent warning to stop struggling. I grunted at the pain but showed no more signs of distress.

I wanted to get away but it was also to buy more time. No way had Sideswipe gotten the seekers out of there.

Despite my struggle we had made it to the cabin. He tossed me into the room and I immediately cradled my sore wrist that was red from his hold. After he had closed the door and locked it (to my ever-growing discomfort) Richard seemed distracted as his eyes fell onto the ground. I followed his gaze and realized they were on Sideswipe trying to help the seekers into the living room. On instinct I rushed over to them placing myself between them and him. I knelt down in front of them keeping my expression firm and defensive.

"What do you want with me and the seekers Richard? What are your plans?" I asked feeling Sideswipe lean up against my ankle. I quickly glanced down seeing that the seekers were slipping into stasis. I had to hurry.

Richard started to circle us making me immediately look up to him. I placed a protective hand in front of my mechs. The seekers would no longer be slaves but mine to take care of-to protect!

Richard laughed at my protective gesture shaking his head. "Like I said before you were always so innocent…You see, back in the day when we were still together, as an one month anniversary, I bought the other two seekers for you as a present. When you visited for the occasion, they came alive right in the packaging. Somehow you made them alive and I soon came to realize you have a gift. How? I' m not sure but I saw profit in it."

I narrowed my eyes trying to remember the night I first went to stay over at his house. It was a simple get together…not as simple as I thought. He stopped, looking behind me looking straight at Sideswipe. I felt Thundercracker and Skywarp flinch under his gaze. My hand was now touching them, assuring them that he would get nowhere near them.

The sick bastard laughed at this, continuing. "I kept them from you, seeing that I wasn't ready to share them yet. Then that's when you ditched me. I wanted you back but not for you, no, for your 'power'. I spent my time figuring how I could get you back while in rehab then I remembered you talking on and on about how seeker bonds work. Slowly I would make them die and their lives would be placed in your hands. How can you say no?"

Suddenly he rushed forward gripping me by the wrist ripping me from my mech and the seekers. "No!" I yelled out hitting his chest with my other hand. He grabbed my other wrist and squeezed hard making me grunt in pain. He brought me close. Sideswipe already had his blades unsheathed skating towards him dangerously. Richard didn't notice.

"Brittney don't you see we can use these toys for money! We could make millions selling alive toys! Sentient toys that can interact with others. I need you though! You are the only one who can make them sentient. If you do not join me your precious Starscream will die!" He said with a smile.

He thought his plan was brilliant. It was twisted and disgusting. All he wanted was money. And now everything was clear. "You're disgusting! Let me go!" I said struggling against his hold again, this time kicking him in the shin. It didn't work.

Richard suddenly yelled out in pain as Sideswipe stabbed him in the ankle. I heard the hiss of flesh meeting his cybertronium blade as he pulled it back out to strike again. By now his optics were tinted with red. He was on kill mode and his size was not going to stop him.

Richard pushed me away making me lose my balance and fall on my back. I gasped as the wind was knocked out of me. I quickly got onto my hands and knees realizing the seekers were now fully exposed. Before I could make it to them, Richard raised his foot. A shot of pure panic went through me. As Sideswipe went forward again Richard swung his leg kicking the mech harshly. His tiny body flew and bounced before hitting the opposite wall.

Tears threatened my eyes as he remained still. "No! Sideswipe!" I yelled out desperately. Anger shot through me as I glanced up at Richard. "You bastard!" I hissed standing up. With a flick of the wrist he revealed a pocket knife. I back up against the wall.

"Now all I ask is that you come quietly." He said coming closer. I craned my neck away from him as he touched the blade to my neck. I closed my eyes shut waiting for my life to be done. I shook as I bit back the panicking tears. Why did it have to come to this?

Before he could make another move a sudden bang was heard as the door. Richard immediately backed away from me and curiously looked at the door. Another bang and the door was brought down. Men in black uniforms immediately aimed their guns at Richard to which he raised his hands up in surrender immediately. He lost all his toughness right there.

I backed away bringing my hands to my mouth as I started to cry uncontrollably. Another officer came over to me and guided me out the door. It was pouring rain outside and cold. But I didn't care I was away from that sociopath and safe. "Are you alright miss? Are you injured?" He asked making sure to bring me far away from the cabin.

I was perfectly fine but- Wait! What about my mechs! Sideswipe! They would surely find them! "I'm fine." I replied trying to keep my tone level. But it was hard due to the choked sobs and the panic I felt for Sideswipe and the seekers.

"Brittney? Brittney!" I turned to face the direction in which my dad's voice came from. My family was surely there, running towards me more than concern written on their faces. "Jesus Brittney, are you alright!?" My dad immediately hugged me welcoming me in his protection grip. My mom was there to also hug me.

I never felt so relieved and safe. "Richard…" Was all I could manage to say.

My brother's glanced up through the rain and darkness to see him walking out of the cabin in handcuffs. It was all that my dad needed to turn me around so I couldn't see his face. I didn't want to. I buried my face into his chest. I was shaking terribly.

The reality just set in. My life was just threatened.

"Brittney he will no longer be a threat to you." My dad said. "Jesus I was too stupid to see it…" I've been trying to tell you! Yes you are stupid! I felt like saying but I kept my mouth shut because I too was too stupid to actually see he was not different but worse than before.

Soon the cops wanted me to give the blow by blow of the whole situation. My parents were escorted somewhere else so I wouldn't be pressured by them. My alibi was that Richard wanted me back so bad he was willing to do whatever it took to get me back.

Motives? He was in rehab. Maybe he got more messed up than better doing his time there. Who knew what went on in his head. The officer told me upon investigating the cabin he found a bag of cocaine. Not much but still illegal. Guess he wasn't fully better…

Since the case wasn't that serious they didn't bring me back to the police station. A report would be filed and put in the archives but no more. Richard would do his time in jail for assault.

The rain had stopped and a chill was sent through my body as my wet clothes seeming became colder. "Is that it Miss Maloney?"

"Yes sir, that's all I know…" I said with a nod hugging myself.

The cop thanked me and walked over to a cop car and got into the front passenger seat. I watched as the last few police cruisers pulled out of the rocky road and onto the main road. The car that had Richard in drove off an hour ago. They were quick to get rid of him I suppose.

Shaking, I made my way back to my cabin. My parents were watching from affar on the porch. They were quick to ask what had happened. I told them the same story I told the officer. They were very convinced after I told them he had cocaine in his possession. My parents were quick to apologize that they never saw that he was unwell. I shrugged saying that we all make mistakes and that he had us all fooled...

I shivered again. My mom placed a hand on my shoulder. "Hop in the shower before you catch a cold, Britt." She soothed.

I nodded my head giving one last glance at Richards's cabin. The owner of the place was notified of what had happened and was now talking to the last cop that was on the scene. I would have to go back later to retrieve my mechs. Hopefully the cops didn't take them for evidence of some sort.

I was quick to take a shower. With dry clothes on my back I went into my bedroom where Sunny was overlooking Starscream who was in stasis. I was quick to hold him against my chest. His tiny body was limp in my hold as I hugged him gently.

Sunny watched me carefully looking away. I noticed his unsteady stare to the dresser. "Are you alright?" My tone was gentle. Equally, Sunstreaker was exhausted by the whole ordeal.

He didn't answer immediately but he looked up seemingly to make sure of something. "Sideswipe told me everything as it happened…" He looked over at my dad's black flip phone that was still open.

"He told me to call the authorities. He told me step by step what to do as he tried to distract him from hurting you. He was trying to buy some time." He said crossing his arms and looking away.

I stood there stupefied and thankful at the same time. "Sunny…I didn't know." I said shaking my head.

He looked up at me noticing how my voice became lower and shakier. "Look I was just doing what I told. You're welcome and let's leave at that, alright?" He snapped a bit. Despite the revelation there was something else he was hiding.

I leaned forward. "There's something else though. Tell me…please?" I asked. I knew the mech wasn't the one to open up but I knew when something was wrong.

He shook his helm in frustration. The yellow mech was become edgy and agitated. The realization struck me quickly and I was quick to sooth him. "Sunny, everyone is safe."

"He's injured, I need to know if..." He was becoming hunched over and stressed. I placed Starscream back into the bundle of clothes on the dresser and knelt down leveling his with a firm look.

"Listen to me." I steadied him by placing my pointer fingers on each shoulder. He did so trying to tear his optics from mine. "I need you to be calm. If you're upset it will only make things worse. Stay here and take a couple intakes of air. I'm going back and getting them, alright?"

He still wasn't looking at me as he kept his helm down. I softened my expression and lifted my fingers off of his shoulders. "You've been such a great help. I don't know how to repay you."

The yellow twin looked up his expression pained. I could tell he was trying to hold it back. "Just-just get him back here." He said exasperated.

I nodded my head standing up and rushing out of my room. I forgot about my mom. She was washing the dishes when she heard me walk into living room area. "Where are you going, Brittney?" She was concerned. Mom immediately dried her hands with a towel and walked over to me placing a hand on my arm. I took in a deep breath.

"I forgot my jacket at the cabin…can I go get it?" I said. I was becoming tired too.

She looked unsure at first shifting her weight a bit. "Do you want one of us to go with you?" She squeezed her hand a bit.

The fear of going back to the cabin made me uneasy and relive the moment the blade was put to my neck. I shivered and my mom saw it.

"You seem too relaxed. Why are you so willing to go back? Is there more to this?" She asked.

I knew that she was just being concerned like a mother should be but right now I just needed to be left be. Of course it still scared me and I was still shaking a bit from the experience but the shakes and unnecessary fear of a cabin wasn't going to stop me from retrieving my mechs.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just need time to myself. If anything is bothering me I will come to you. I promise." I moved closer to hug her and she welcomed me.

"I'm always here." She said into my shoulder before kissing me on the forehead. I nodded my head with a small smile. She watched me as I left the cabin and walked down the steps. I hugged myself at the coldness and kept my walk firm and steady. I wasn't going to stop just because of what happened. I knew he was far away from me no longer a threat-locked in a jail cell.

The thought made me feel more at ease. The cops and resort owner were by now long gone. It was a good thing that it was so late at night-the cabin cleaners wouldn't come 'till the morning.

I climbed the stairs and took a deep breath. I peeked in seeing the broken door leaning against the couch. When I remained silent to see if anybody lingered behind there were no sounds. It was alright to go in. immediately I searched the ground. They weren't there.

Panic came across me in waves. "Sideswipe!" I called panning my voice around the room. I paused hearing a shuffle from under the couch. Immediately I got onto my knees and saw Sideswipe dragging the barely online seekers. He must've pulled them under there with him to hide from the cops.

"Britt! Oh Primus…" He tried to come over to me but he fell onto his knees no longer keeping his own weight up. His door wing was dangerously bent at an unnatural angle and his knee joint was sparking.

I reached forward carefully placing him in my hands. "My mech, what did he do to you?" I whimpered gently tracing my fingertips across his body.

He placed a tiny hand on my thumb and genuinely smiled. "It doesn't matter. I'm just so glad you're safe." He said the pep in his voice was dulled by the pain he was in.

I creased my eyebrows. I had to get them all back to the cabin. Looking on the couch where I left my jacket I folded it up so only the arms were outstretched. Sideswipe was the first to be placed on the hoodie on his side-his injured door wing up in the air. I examined him making sure he was comfortable before reaching for the seekers. They uncomfortably twitched at my touch.

"It's alright now. I'll take you home now." I couldn't help but coo as I gently placed the seeker next to Sideswipe. I laid them chest to chest to prevent any further damage to their spark. Hurriedly I folded the arms up so that they were covering all of them. I lifted the jacket up and rushed out of the cabin. My walk turned into a jog as I made my way down the rocky road. I never bothered to look back ever again.

As I walked in my mom asked me if I was alright. Once again she was just being a good mom. I told her saying that it was hard to go back but I managed. In fact I just had to keep reassuring myself that it was alright and everything was okay. Richard got what he'd deserved-just like Sideswipe had said he would.

I told her goodnight before going back into my bedroom. I guess my dad never liked the bed in here because once again he was sleeping in my mom's room. Truthfully it was for the better. I could interact with my mechs and not get discovered.

As soon as I opened the door I wasn't surprised to see that Starscream was already clawing at the air toward the bundle in my arms. I was quick to close it as I set the jacket on the opposite side of the dresser. Sunstreaker was quick to be at Sideswipe side. I guess nothing can hold you back from the concern for your only brother. He was peeling the sleeve of the jacket away before I could. He uncovered Sideswipe and was relieved and worried at the same time.

"What the slag did you get into now, Sides?" His voice was more concerned than angry as he reached forward and helped his brother up.

I wanted to continue to watch them to see if they needed anymore help but I had to get the seekers to Starscream. He'd by now given up slipping back into stasis. In each hand I lifted Thundercracker and Skywarp. Gently I placed them on the bundle of clothing I'd been keeping Starscream on. They relaxed at the soft relief. They were already getting their strength back. Finally I placed Starscream in the center. The scene was enough to cause me to almost sigh and cry with relief.

As far as they could Thundercracker and Skywarp huddled close to their leader's spark. It was a sweet moment that I knew Starscream would deny in the future. As they became comfortable around their leader they were still possibly slipping into the most peaceful recharge in their life here on Earth.

I sat down at the edge of my bed watching as Starscream little chest started to rise and fall with each intake of air his took. No longer were they struggled. We'd saved him just in time. I placed both my hands over my mouth and smiled.

They were all here-right now. No longer would they be in the hands of that bastard. No longer would they be in pain. They were free and reunited with Starscream. Their bond was complete.

I heard a small bang of metal on metal behind me and an irritated grunt. I looked behind myself seeing that Sunstreaker was already trying to repair his brother. "Hold still aft-head."

"Bro, it hurts bad…" He moaned. Sparkling-like clicking noises were imbedded in each word he said.

Sunstreaker managed to soften his expression as his fingers struggled to fix the base of his door wing. "I know Sides. Just keep still or I'll have to put you in stasis."

Slowly I placed my hand out but let it fall on the dresser. "Do you want me to help…?" I asked feeling useless. There was nothing I could do to help Sideswipe out of his pain and they knew it. Sunstreaker shook his helm slowly. "No, but what I need you to do is go into recharge." He said annoyingly. He was concerned and he wanted me to just relax. My job was done but at the price of Sideswipe's ever painful injury I caused was done again.

Sideswipe saw that I was over thinking the situation. He raised his hand to mine causing me to glance at him. "This isn't your fault. I was the one who jumped forward to give that scumhead what he deserved and I knew I wasn't coming out with just a scratch. It's my choice to protect you because that's one thing I can do to repay all that you do for us."

I shook my head tears threatening my eyes. "Sides…"

He didn't let me continue. "Britt, go to sleep. I'm fine. I'll be right here in the morning when you wake up."

I wasn't convinced because he was just assuring me so I wouldn't have to worry about him. Sleep licked at my consciousness but I fought it shaking my head and rubbing the heel of my hands against my eyes.

"He's fine. Just go into recharge already." Sunstreaker said now his annoyance truly showing. I swallowed hard not really appreciating his tone and reminded myself that he had a different way of wording his feelings.

Sideswipe tapped my hand again. "Sleep." He ordered with a smile. It took me a moment to fight the request but then again the feeling of rest licked at my mind. With a finale sigh I turned away and sat on my bed. I gave one last glance at them. They didn't notice, too busy talking through their bond. I finally laid down on my side using my hands a pillow. I watched them until my eyelids were too heavy to keep open and fell asleep.

Trust me this story arc didn't turn out the way I thought it would. This story has a mind of it's own I tell ya. The next story arch will be a lot happier. I just wanted to show how Brittney is so willing to save all the sentient transformer toys and protect them since she thinks it's her responsibility to do so.

I have the next chapter half written so expect that to be out soon also. I hope I didn't lose you guys. It been tough writing lately and I don't know why.
