Chapter 5: Gone

"That was nothing… nothing compared to what I will do to you when we truly mate". The grumbled words of the Autobot leader ghosted trough her mind as Mika woke up from the best sleep she had in years. Smirking a little she turned and expected to feel a warm body. Her eyes snapped open as she felt nothing but cold sheets. Had it been a dream..?

Sitting up she frowned and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. "Surely not" she muttered slightly frustrated. Hopping out of the bed and making her way to the bathroom she turned on the light and gazed in the mirror. What she saw made a sound escape from her throat between a cry and a laugh, right on the junction of her shoulder and neck was a large mouth shaped bruise. "Definitely not a dream" she muttered, "Bloody Vampiric Autobot". Thinking of the night before caused her stomach muscles to clench in desire and her knees to almost buckle.

Splashing some cold water in her face she then changed herself into something somewhat representable before trotting off to the living room. Optimus must have gotten up early, the man was usually not a heavy sleeper. But when she entered the living space it was silent, slightly dark, and the delicious smell of baked eggs that she had gotten used to in the morning was not present.

Frowning she tried to ignore the sudden feel of dread in her stomach, and the taste like ash in her mouth. " Optimus?.. this isn't funny, come out!" she said almost franticly as she knew deep In her core that there would be no reply.

Looking around she spotted a note on the bar and with a trembling hand, she picked it up.

"Dear Mika

I cannot begin to express my gratitude to your kindness this past earth week. I am certain that without your help, I would have perished in this form by now. You have shown me the other side of humanity.

In this short time I have grown quite fond of you my dear Mika, and this is why I must leave. I cannot risk you getting more involved as you already are. I do not wish to risk your life more then I already have.

Forgive my shortcomings with regards to the other night, I was weak and even though I enjoyed your affections immensely. Please understand that I cannot allow this to happen, for I am Prime.

Please forget our meeting and enjoy life my sweet Mika. I hope you can forgive me.

May we meet in another life.

Goodbye."

The paper scrunched up in her grip as she clenched her fist. She felt tears run over her cheeks, what was wrong with her. She only knew the guy for a week and now because he left she was a hot mess. "That bastard!" she hissed though her teeth. A part of her understood why he had left, but the timing didn't make sense! Just a few hours back they had kissed and frotted like a couple of teenagers, against her fridge and now he just took off! "Men are pigs.. no matter what race.. fuck this!" she hissed emotionally and tossed the crumpled paper in the trash before huffing, turning on her heels and opening her door to walk outside. It was still early, but the temperature would be pleasant soon enough.

Right when she stepped out she smacked into what felt like a brick wall. "what the.." she began dazed and rubbed her head. Opening her eyes she looked up. Right in front of her was a sunglass wearing, very muscular obviously in a too tight police outfit cop. Mika realized the other had prevented her falling down as he had gripped her arm after she bumped into him.

"Woa.. what are you made of, steel? Good grief!" she muttered slightly impressed. For a second she thought she saw the impassive man's corner of his mouth twitch in the start of a smirk.

" Mikaela Michelle Kordablak?" came the suave question from brick wall copper. "Yes..? why?" she asked " and why are you wearking sunglasses.. it's like 06:30 AM.

"Nothing to concern you, you will need to come with me now" the other said in an even tone. It was then she realized the cop hadn't released his grip on her yet, and it was becoming painful. "Oy, let me go, I don't need to go anywhere!" she said frowning and tried to pull herself out of his grip, but it was like trying to pull yourself from a bear trap.

"Resistance is pointless, come with me now or I will make you fleshling" the cop seemed to hiss.

"Fleshling..wha?" Mika asked, her mind was reeling. What was this Psycho's plan, who was he?! But before Mika could protest more, she was swiftly dragged towards the police cruiser. Once inside she gained her bearings somewhat and tried opening the door, when that didn't work she put her feet up on the drivers seat and started to kick it hard making it bounce. "DESIST HUMAN!" came the snarl from somewhere in the car.

"Fuck you! I know my rights and this is NOT one of them" she spat "LET ME OUT!" she shouted hoping to make enough ruckus to wake someone up in her neighborhood.

Another few kicks and she felt something snap in the front seat. Smirking victoriously when she heard the man.. or speakers? Snarl in what seemed like pain.

"You will pay for that fleshbag, now desist or I will make you!" he spat and the car seemed to vibrate in anger. Suddenly right next to her a claw like appendage popped out and spun dangerously close to her.

"AARG WHAT THE FUCK" she screamed and tried to crawl away, but the seatbelt that had snuck around her tightened so much she couldn't even more. "Now. … will you be calm?" came the more controlled request form the speakers as the claw hovered dangerously close to her face.

Mika gave a quick nod as she gazed with big eyes to the retreating claw. Then the Saleen drove off and within a few minutes the man driving it flickered out of existence.

Before she could ask what was going on the same voice came from the speakers once more.

" Where.. is Optimus Prime"
