Chapter 12
Rescued by a Camaro
Elliett thought that the pain would never end as clear, tranquil tears cascaded down her cheeks. Over the evil laugh of the robot she could hear her bones grinding together. It was an unpleasant sound but she couldn't stop it.
Swiveling her kitsune ears around she focused on her boyfriend. She could hear Sam praying for a miracle to happen…but she wasn't sure that his prayers would be answered. He was alternating between running his hands through his hair and clasping them together as he muttered to himself. It was times like these that she regretted not spending more time with him.
Little black dots were dancing in her vision and it was getting harder to breathe. Now she was sure that she had broken at least one rib. The pain was getting almost unbearable but she knew that she could withstand it at the moment. What bothered her was that if she survived, which didn't seem likely at the moment, she wouldn't be able to heal quickly without her power limiter.
The silver haired girl stopped struggling from the lack of oxygen. For a moment she limply hung from the chaotic robot's grip, sagging as he laughed in cruel victory, but the sound of Sam's voice brought her back to reality.
"ELLE, NO! DON'T GIVE UP!!" he shouted, dropping to his knees. It was a heart wrenching plea but it seemed to do the trick. She had no will to go on but the thought of leaving Sam behind was enough to keep fighting. She bit and kicked at the hand that was holding her, smirking momentarily as the robot roared in anger and pain. It seemed like her plan had failed; it had only made the robot angrier. His grip tightened around her as she felt another rib crack.
"Sam…" she whispered, closing her eyes. She couldn't hold them open anymore. Her face was changing colors, much to Sam's obvious horror, and her wiggling was decreasing. She was getting lightheaded and she wasn't sure that she would survive.
Sam wasn't going to stand there doing nothing any longer. He looked around for something to fight with – anything to fight with. He finally found a pole; it was sharp on one end but it was the best the brunette could find at the moment. He picked up his 'weapon' and chucked it at the cop, smirking as it diverted its attention from his girlfriend to him.
"Foolish human." The giant robot sneered, stalking closer to him. It would have snatched him off the ground as well but his prayers had been answered.
Suddenly, the squeal of tires echoed in her kitsune ears; it was like the sweet sound of her salvation. The brunette boy jumped out of the way of the oncoming Camaro as he skidded to a stop, swiping the legs out of the enraged robot.
"Elle!" Sam shouted, racing forward as the cop let go of his girlfriend. As soon as his claws lost hold of her she went plummeting towards the ground. The brunette boy reached the silver haired girl in the nick of time, catching her just before she hit the pavement. He slid on the ground, creating quite a few scrapes on his skin but he didn't care. He was more worried about his injured girlfriend than himself.
His worried eyes searched her face as she gritted her teeth, arm gripping her wounded side. It was already turning a molted slew of colors. Green, purple, yellow, and black were visible through the tears in her clothing.
"God, Elle…" Sam choked back a sob as he witnessed the look of pain on her face. Her eyes were glazed over as she breathed in; the breath itself was very shallow. Each inhale caused pain to flare in her broken ribs. Sam cradled her in his lap, burying his face into her hair. He was furious at himself for letting his girlfriend be harmed.
"It's ok, Sammy…I've had worse…" the silver haired girl gasped as she tried to sit up. The brunette boy would have none of it as he attempted to lift her bridal style. He only managed to get a few feet away from the fallen police car when the yellow Camaro pulled up alongside them. His doors popped open as he made an insistent crooning noise, begging them to get into the car.
The evil police car had gotten up and was charging after them. The silver haired girl's eyes widened as she tried to stand, ignoring the various protests from her boyfriend.
"Sam, that thing is still following us! What if he tries to kill us again?!" Elliett exclaimed as she pointed to the rabid robot.
At first Sam was hesitant about getting into the yellow Camaro but with a little more prodding from Elliett he managed to get them both sound in the car. As soon as they were in the Camaro's doors were shut, effectively securing them inside as they prepared for the ride of their lives. The silver haired girl could tell that the Camaro was driving as fast as it could but the telltale signs of a police vehicle sounded behind them.
The silver haired girl turned around, ignoring the burning sensation in her ribs. She saw the flashing lights and heard the whirring sirens as the demonic cop car continued to chase them through the dusty alleyway.
"Sam! That cop is following us!" Elle shouted, instantly regretting doing so. The moment the words left her lips a stinging pain shot through her abdomen. She doubled over, gritting her teeth and supporting herself by putting a hand on the dashboard. Her arm quivered as she felt her strength being sapped from her body.
"Oh my God, are you ok?" the male beside her said, freaking out once again. Elliett screwed her eyes shut; true to her word she had been subjected to much more pain than that. The male unbuckled his seatbelt and scooted over to the silver haired girl, picking her up so that she was settled in his lap. He wrapped his arm around her waist, careful that he didn't touch the rainbow of colors on her ribcage.
"I'm fine but…" the silver haired girl was cut off by a sharp turn the Camaro made. She looked behind them again, screaming as she realized the cop was gaining on them.
"Shit, we're gonna die! We're gonna die!" she yelled as the Camaro took another sharp turn. Sam tightened his hold on his girlfriend's waist, digging his feet into the car's rug so that they wouldn't slide. He looked around as the Camaro slid through a pile of wooden boxes, demolishing them like nobody's business.
"We're not going to die! He's a kickass driver! Trust me!" Sam shouted over the sound of objects breaking as the Camaro passed them. Elliett shrieked in surprise and the brunette boy turned to look at what she was pointing at. There was a wall right in front of them…and the Camaro was heading straight for it.
"Oh, no! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!" he screamed along with his girlfriend. He curled his body around hers in a protective gesture, making sure his body would be the one who would be hurt if they were to crash.
The pair tensed as they burst through the wall, glass and wood flying everywhere. Fortunately none of the glass belonged to the Camaro's windshield and window. Sam straightened in the car just in time to see a large block of stacked wooden crates heading their way. Both occupants of the car screamed again, ducking back down as they blasted through the wooden crates.
"Oh my God, Sam! He's STILL following us!" the silver haired girl whimpered as she looked behind them again. She buried her face within the brunette boy's chest as he cradled her even closer. The Camaro quietly pulled into a small area in the local power plant, backing up between two very close objects.
Elliett sunk lower in the seat along with her boyfriend, gasping when the doors suddenly locked themselves. Sam scrambled closer to the door, digging at the lock that had sunk into the door.
"We're locked in." he whispered to himself, inadvertently startling the girl sitting in his lap.
"What?" she gasped, looking at the door as well. She inadvertently bit her lip, rubbing up against a certain part of her boyfriend's anatomy. He stiffened, trying not to think of the painful tightening of his pants.
The police car strolled by their hiding spot, completely missing them and parking not too far from where they were hiding. They waited for a few moments as the Camaro quietly tried to start his engine. It took a few tries before the engine finally started and he tore out of the place. The car's tires squealed, kicking up dust as they just barely made it past the police car.
The police car gave chase, coming up behind them as the Camaro crossed the bridge, skidding to a halt as he opened his passenger side door. With one glance at the open door Elliett slid out, taking hold of Sam's hand and bringing him with her. Once the Camaro had made sure they had gotten to safety he transformed.
Elliett didn't see the Camaro transform up close before. The last time she was with him she had been turned the other way. It was nothing short of breathtaking; the whirring of gears and clanging of metal caused her ears to pin to her skull but the silver haired girl couldn't tear her amber eyes away.
This time, instead of being afraid, she was in awe. She was curious; where had the yellow robot come from? Why was he here? What was his name? Elliett gazed upon the yellow robot and memorized the features of his form.
He was incredibly tall…or he would have to be since his alternative mode was a car, and the pieces of metal that formed the shell of the car acted as armor over the more sensitive parts of his wiring. It offered better protection than the flimsy armor that the evil cop car wore.
In another comparison to the cop car the yellow robot's doors stuck out on his back. They looked a lot like the wings of a fairy; however she didn't want to be rude with the comparison. He seemed…young. Much younger than the robot that was chasing them.
One thing that Elliett found interesting was that the robot only had four fingers. There were three main fingers and one thumb. How odd. Other than the fact that he didn't have five fingers there was the case of his face. It didn't look like he had a mouth, either.
Oh, he probably had a mouth but it was hidden behind an interesting and intricate facial guard. It almost seemed like an oxygen mask for scuba divers when they went underneath the water.
Almost subconsciously the silver haired girl's eyes travelled upward, staring into the glowing pools of blue that served as his eyes. The glowing blue eyes – optics? – struck a chord within her memory. They seemed familiar. The robot turned towards her and made an urgent and worried chirping noise and that was when she gasped.
"Sam!" she exclaimed, placing a hand over her shocked mouth. The brunette boy was at her side in an instant, fussing over her.
"No, Sammy, I'm not hurt…but I remember meeting him before you bought the Camaro. I was out in that really bad storm a while ago…and I almost died" she gasped, holding her forehead as the memories surged forward. Her boyfriend didn't respond too well with that comment.
"WHAT?!" he shrieked, taking hold of her shoulders and searching her eyes. She didn't have time to respond as the cop car came rushing forward. The yellow Camaro held his ground, preparing to catch the cop car as it transformed but was thrown off balance when the evil one transformed mid jump.
The battle was on.
