Chapter 11

"Get down!" Dave said to Amy as the two were walking through a field in the middle of the night. He saw something huge standing on a hill. The two kids quickly laid down on the ground and carefully looked at the thing. A day passed since the unknown transformer arrived.

"It's him!" Amy whispered to Dave.

"Who is he?"

"The stranger!"

"You mean the huge unknown transformer?"

"Exactly." They kept looking at him. He did not look in their direction but was standing with the back to them.

"What does he want anyway?" Dave wondered.

"Sh! I think he's talking to himself!" They listened carefully.

"You will go down…together with everyone else." was the only thing they could hear.

"Only his voice is scary!" Dave said to Amy. Suddenly he transformed and flew away.

"Alright! The coast is clear!" Amy said as she stood up.

"Tell me, why did you bring me here in the middle of the night?" Dave asked as he stood up.

"Something told me I should come here…and I would find out what his plan is…" Amy explained. Dave gave her a confused look.

"Yeah right…"

"No really! I often feel that!"

"And why did you bring me along?"

"I didn't…want to go alone."

"I see. Anyway, let's go home…It seems like we didn't find out want he wants after all."

"I know….But what could he mean with 'You will go down with everyone else'?"

"How should I know? Can we go, please? It's pretty cold and I don't want to know what my parents say when they find out I left in the middle of the night."

"You're right. Let's go." The two started walking towards the city. Suddenly Amy heard something behind her.

"Dave? Did you just hear that?" she asked while she turned around.

"Huh? I didn't hear anything." he said as he turned around. Suddenly they saw two red eyes shining in the dark.

"Oh my…RUN!" Dave yelled scared and started to run. Amy followed him. Suddenly they were grabbed by a metal hand. Dave tried to free him but didn't succeed. Amy just looked closely at the red eyes.

"What are two little kids doing out here alone at this time?" a female voice asked. Amy was a bit relived but still scared. She recognized the voice as the one of Nightstripe. As the female Decepticon stepped into the moonlight, the two kids could see who it was.

"What do you want of us?" Dave asked angry. Nightstripe looked at him.

"Not of you! Of her!" she said and looked over to Amy, who was scared to death. Without warning, Nightstripe let Dave to the ground.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" he yelled at her. Nightstripe just grinned.

"As if I'm listening to a small human!" she said grinning. Suddenly Dave saw someone else behind her. Nightstripe turned around.

"Here! Bring her to the place I told you!" she said to the one in the shadows and gave Amy to him. Then she turned around, transformed and flew away. Dave took a short look how she flew away and then turned to the one in the shadows again. Suddenly he stepped into the bright moonlight and Dave could see that he was a Decepticon.

"She can't take on both!" the 'Con said while he watched Nightstripe fly away. Then he turned around and walked into the forest. Dave decided to follow him. The Decepticon walked through the forest, talking to himself.

"Who does she think she is? Giving me this human!" he said angry to himself while he looked at Amy, who was still scared to death.

"What are you looking at?" he asked her. Amy didn't answer. Suddenly she saw Dave behind them. But the Decepticon noticed him as well. He turned around and looked at him.

"If i were you, I would run as fast as I can!" he said to Dave. Dave didn't know what to do. He looked up to Amy. She just nodded her head and gave him a look that told him 'Everything will be fine, trust me.' He turned around and started running. The 'Con watched him run away. Then he continued walking. He arrived at a little cave and put Amy on the ground. Then he sat down in front of the cave. Amy got out of the way just in time. She looked at the Decepticon who was sitting next to her. From his expression she could tell that he wasn't in the best mood.

"What are you looking at?" he said angry to her.

"I uh….nothing."

"Don't talk to me!"

"You started it!" he grabbed her with one hand and looked in her face.

"Don't you dare talk to me like that!" he said angry and released her again. Suddenly Amy recognized him. She saw him before, the day she had the conversation with Nightstripe.

"What's his name again?" she said very quiet to herself. The 'Con looked at her.

"What?" he asked annoyed. Amy didn't answer.

"What did you just say?" he asked again. Still no answer.

"Answer me!"

"You told me not to talk to you!"

"So? Tell me what you just said!"

"I…uh…I was….wondering what….your name was again…." the 'Con looked confused.

"Now why in the universe did you do that?" he wondered.

"Because I saw you once…talking to…her…" Silence.

"With 'her' do you mean who?" he asked after some time.

"I forgot her name…The female who just flew away."

"You mean Nightstripe?"

"Yeah! That's her name!" No response.

"You saw me talking to her and now you wonder what my name is?" he said after several seconds.

"Uh…yes…?"

"Pff…humans." he just said, folded his arms and turned around.

"So…what is your name?" No answer. The Decepticon was leaning against the wall and was not looking at her. Amy gave up. She sat down and leaned against the wall as well.

"It's Starscream…." he said after several minutes. Amy looked to him. He was still not looking at her.

"Why did you want to know it in the first place?" he asked then.

"I….uh….I was just curious." Starscream turned around and looked at hear.

"Even I can tell that, that's not true." he said. Amy didn't have an answer. She didn't really know why she wanted to know his name.

"So?" Starscream kept asking.

"I don't know…" Starscream turned around again.

"Why am I even talking to you?" he said to himself. Amy turned around as well. She laid down on the ground and closed her eyes.

"I'm wondering that too…Starscream…." she said quietly to herself before she fell asleep. Starscream turned around and looked at her.

"Please tell me this is not true." he said to himself as he leaned against the wall and looked at Amy, who was asleep.
