Chapter 10

Optimus had pushed himself harder than he'd ever done; he not just had to protect himself but Mia now too. She was so quiet now. It bothered him how she wouldn't speak to him now. He knew she blamed him for her friend's death. He just didn't realize how much her silence, or that fact would bother him the way it did.

"My deepest sympathies for the loss of your friend; we will both be targets now, Mia." Optimus said softly his baritone voice wrapped around her; but she still ignored him.

Optimus sighed as his holoform appeared in the driver seat; he glanced over at her his spark raced within his body now.

"I am sorry," he said.

Silence….

"She's gone, she was my best friend and it's your entire fault." she replied in a bitter tone. "I wish I never knew you." she added as Optimus felt the sting of her words and looked away.

He was not sure what he was expecting from her; after all she was human and humans were the ones who had been hunting him and his Autobots.

"I understand, but I cannot leave you because they will be hunting you as well." Optimus said as his holoform slowly moved its servo to her arm.

"Don't touch me," she snapped as Optimus' optics widened; but he quickly dropped his servo from her.

"As you wish," Optimus said as he glanced at her. "Do you wish I was offline now?" he couldn't help but ask her; but when she refused to answer him this courageous hero too many shattered inside.

The holoform's optics had a small trail of energon falling from them; he realized it was his fault. He just didn't want this human mad at him; and he wasn't sure why. He could feel her anger and how it just seethed out of her.

"I am sorry I survived at all my Autobots are all gone; I should be gone too." Optimus said as his holoform stared out the window.

He had no one now his one friend he did have would never stay friends he knew that now. However funny thing about fate it has a habit of changing in the craziest ways; in ways which will come back and kick a certain human girl in the butt.

A light appeared as a young woman stood in it; who just happened to be Sue.

"Okay, where am I?" Sue asked.

"You are here with me for the time being," replied a powerful voice.

"And who are you?" Sue asked.

"I am God," he answered.

"I was killed, wasn't I?" she asked.

"Yes, you were killed and even though you cannot go back as a living being; but you can go back as a spirit. You must get Mia to stop holding such anger in her heart for Optimus before it is too late. They have something blossoming together; but it cannot grow if she does not forgive him and let go of the anger she has for him because of your death." God said.

"It's not his fault," Sue said.

"Make her see that then," he said.

"Alright, can I help with some pay back for Cemetery Wind?" Sue asked.

Silence…

"Oh come on, you know it'll be fun." Sue said as she could almost sense him sighing; and her thoughts went to something her mother always said.

When she was born the Lord broke that mold so no more of her could be created; and Sue always laughed at that because it was so true!

Optimus had parked finally in an isolated area to rest his spark had hurt with sadness; as Mia had gotten out of his new cab form and sat by a brook with a sigh.

"I miss you Sue, I am so sorry." whispered Mia.

"Really, you do? Well stop blaming Optimus for my death, because it isn't his fault." Sue suddenly said as Mia screamed and got up spinning around to face her ghostly friend and then promptly fainting and falling onto the ground. "Oh jeez, come on!" Sue muttered as she heard Optimus walk up with concern in his optics but he obviously didn't see her.

Oh great…..
