Chapter Two: Meeting an Old Friend
...
It was an awkward moment when Tessa and Uncle Cade were arguing about her secret boyfriend who he introduced himself to me while they fought.
"Uh... You must be Katrina, Tessa's cousin?" he scratched behind his neck nervously.
I smiled, showing him, I wouldn't attack him like my uncle did. "Yep, but you can call me Kat. I'm still shocked she never told me about you in her letters she sent me... But I can't blame her. Uncle Cade is very protective of her, so I'm forewarning you, Shane... Don't try too hard to get him to like you, 'kay? He's a stubborn person." I warned him, but it was like it went out one ear, and out the other...like what's up with males?
"Thanks for the heads up, Kat, but I'll be okay. I'll just wing it."
I rolled my eyes when he patted me on my shoulder before walking over to my uncle. I shook my head, praying for his soul while I walked outside to see that mystery lady talking with her robot friend which was a femme as she told me, her name was Howlback who used to be a Decepticon. I was very nervous to get too close to her. I knew she didn't kill my parents but knowing she used to be part of those monsters scared me. I cleared my throat to get their attention, I smiled nervously at Howlback, and the mystery lady.
"So, I know Howlback... What's your name and how did you know my name?" I didn't even know this chick, but yet she knew my name. That seemed kind of suspicious to me. Wouldn't it be that way to you too?
I frowned when she chuckled. "I can't believe you've forgotten me all these years, Kit-Kat." My ears perked up when I heard this mystery lady call me another nickname that only my babysitter called me. I-it couldn't be...could it? She reached her hands up to her helmet and took it off, letting her long brown hair fall down to her back, smiling gently at my shocked face.
"S-Stella?"
She chuckled with a nod, "Who else, Kit-Kat? Were you expecting fairy godmother?" She teased.
Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks. I rushed over to her and hugged her. I buried my face under her chin, sobbing while she comforted me; rubbing my back gently and telling me it was okay. After a while I calmed down and stepped back while wiping the tears off my face. I was going to ask her where she had been up to since the last time I saw her, when Optimus drove over, coming back from making sure we weren't followed.
He transformed. Now he was down on one knee seeing Howlback and me, then his optics landed on Stella who smiled softly, but Optimus was very shocked... Did they know each other or was I missing something?
"Stella? I-it can't be you... Can it?" Optimus looked down at the ground when his optics dimmed down. I made a noise from the back of my throat when a man of same age as my uncle but lightly more muscle, with blue eyes suddenly appeared right in front of Stella!? I step back in shock and surprise.
"It is me, Optimus. We lost contact and I've been in hiding from the government, then when I got a job as a babysitter, Kit-Kat's babysitter..." She looked at me smiling... Wait, was she blushing? "…Until they found me. Howlback here came to save me from them and took me far from here." She pointed to Howlback who bowed gracefully.
"It is an honor to finally meet a Prime."
The man that Stella called Optimus walked over to the bowing Howlback sending her a kind smile, "Thank you for protecting my dear friend, Howlback. If I'm mistaking; you were a Decepticon before, correct?"
Howlback nodded grimly. "Yes, sadly but I change to the Autobots's side, Stella helped me choose when I saved her. At first, I was just going to give her to the blasted humans and Lockdown, but she told me that I had a Spark of gold in me and I had what it takes to choose what I want." She looked down at Stella who walked over and patted her knee joint smiling.
"Then I, Optimus Prime, welcome you to our side, Howlback." Optimus said while putting his right hand flat to where his heart- uh spark is.
"Thank you, Sir. I'll do my best to protect Stella with my whole Spark." Howlback put her hand to her chest where I knew for a fact where her Spark was...I hoped.
Uncle Cade rushed out of the gas station, telling Optimus he had grabbed the tech from the people who attacked them and he could make it so he could use it against them. But while he was doing that and everyone was doing whatever they did while waiting for him, I was in the gas station sitting down on the now clean table. I sighed out, feeling all the 'excitement' I can finally relax...for now since those jerks are after Optimus and now us. I hope we can be able to help Optimus find his allies, and hopefully we can protect them from the humans. I inhaled and exhaled, but suddenly my chest tightened I gasp silently gripping my tank top on my chest, I hunch forward clinching my teeth in pain.
I remembered I never got to take my medicine! I quickly went to grab my bag but to my horror, I forgot one thing...I left it at the doorstep of uncle's house! I really...really regret sitting my bag down and not picking it back up. I look over to see Tessa and Shane cuddling, I open my mouth to call for them but nothing came out! I started panicking even more causing the pain to worsen, my vision has dots then next thing I knew all I saw was darkness.
No One's POV
Cade Yeager finally finished with the tech and rushed inside the abandon gas station to get his daughter and niece, but found Tessa and Shane cuddled up and talking. Well, not for long.
"Enough of the cuddling! Where's Kat?"
Tessa huffed, annoyed with her dad. "She's over there." She pointed to the table where Katrina was now laying.
"Kat, come on, time to wake up." Cade walked over and shook his niece's shoulder. Frowning, worry hit his chest why? Cause his niece hasn't even stir or anything. It scared him so he shook Kat a little harder. "Kat? Kat!"
"Dad? What's wrong with Kat? She's not responding at all." Tessa asked her dad, walking over with Shane, looking worried at her cousin limp form.
"I know." he moved Katrina on her back. "Fuck, Tess! Tell Optimus, Stella, and Howlback something's wrong with Kat!" Tessa nodded and hurried out front of the Gas Station, informing the others. Holoform Optimus and Stella rushed in with worry in their eyes.
Cade went through each of Katrina's pockets, front and back. Nothing! He cursed under his breathe.
"Dad?"
Cade turned around and clenched his fist at his side. "She doesn't have her medicine! She must have had them in her bag! Damn it all! W-we need to use my card, but in a safe distance using this damn tech." he picked the tech in his hands. "Stella, stay with Kat while we go."
Stella nodded. They left, leaving Howlback to stay to watch out for Decepticons or humans that would harm them. Stella had Katrina moved to the counter top with a jacket under her head and anything she could find that was soft under her body. Then she took off her jacket to put it over Katrina's body, brushing aside her blond bangs gently.
"Silly, you keep forgetting to keep your medicine in your pocket. What am I going to do with you, kiddo?" She stood up and walked to the door, she stops to look back, smiling softly at Kat then continued outside where Howlback was sitting on the ground watching out for humans or Decepticons.
Katrina's POV
When I came to, all I could remember was feeling my chest tighten, then darkness. I pushed my upper body up, seeing I was on a counter top? Something fell to the floor, I hopped off the counter which I almost lost my balance of the sudden fast movement, but I got my balance back then I bent down to pick up the clothing to see it was Stella's jacket. I tilted my head sideways and held it in my arms while walking outside to the bright sun. I shaded my eyes with my hand. Why do I feel different? I brushed the odd feeling aside when a female voice I knew called out to me.
"Kat?"
I turned my head to my left to see Stella standing along with Howlback, staring at me in confusion and surprise?
"S-Stella?" I cringed when I heard my voice crack when I spoke. I cleared my throat; I need to get some water somehow. "Where is everyone?" I didn't see Optimus, uncle, Tess or Shane anywhere.
"They went to get you your medicine, but I'm kind of surprised you came out of it so soon. Usually, you come out of it when Cade gives you the shot." I was also surprised myself. This was starting to get weirder. "Oh, there they are!"
I turn around to see Optimus driving over, then stop. Uncle jump out of the driver side door of Optimus semi alt-mode to run over to hug me tightly, then pushed me away gently by arm's length.
"Are you okay, Kat? Wait, you look...okay." Uncle Cade was flabbergasted too. I mean, I would too; I was having an attack, then I was perfectly fine the next? Something is very weird here. Ever sense I accidently touched Optimus's Spark; weird crap was happening with me.
"Cade, we have not much time." everyone looked over at Optimus car mode.
"Right. Kat, you ride with Stella. Howlback, keep my niece safe." he looked at Howlback.
"Of course. You have my word. She'll be safe in my care." Howlback reassured my uncle.
Uncle nodded and kissed my forehead, then ran back to the driver seat of Optimus.
"Kit-Kat! Come on!" I nodded and rushed over to her then she handed me a helmet like hers so I put it on my head and went behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist.
We drove behind Optimus and the craziest thing happened! A semi went by and Optimus's alt-mode form peeled off into a spanking brand-new semi!
"Heh, show off, but I gotta say he does look handsome in that style." She mumbled to herself, but she forgot I could hear her...so yeah, very awkward.
I looked at the back of her head weirdly, "D-did you just say-"
"Don't you dare say anything, Kit-Kat. I-it just came out...weird."
I rolled my eyes but smirked, "Whatever you say Stella..." It was silent for just a minute when I spoke up again with a bigger smile. "...You liiiiike hiiiim." I teased her, a squeak escaped from my lips when she lost control of Howlback, which she took back control and back on the road for one.
"D-don't say silly things, Kat! Optimus is just a very important friend to me like you are. Nothing more."
"Rrrright." I smiled, but knew she must be blushing in embarrassment of being caught~
After a long drive to some canyon, we ended up meeting remaining Autobots, but I wasn't expecting to fall for one of them.
