Thank you three for commenting on my story! You guys are the best! All of you are specially for following and favoriting the story.
Waking up for another day, I groggily open my eyes. The sun still not over the horizon, yet light bled over. Still tired from not getting a lot of sleep, my eyes scan over the room. No one was up, if there was someone on the chart, they will be. Rising out of my squeaky bed, not caring it woke up anyone.
The chart on the wall read that Ruby and Piper have laundry duty while I have to clean the living room. The living room usually gets clean every week, meaning this job will be easy, maybe. Some of the kids don't really care if the building looks clean or not and when they get the job to clean, they do a shitty job. From who got last, which are Sidney and George, they don't give a rat's ass.
It was time to wake up the two sleepy heads. Piper was first on my list as she doesn't try to punch you and only gives you a few grumble words to you. After waking her up, it was time to wake the beast. Being the best sister ever, I pushed Piper onto Ruby, waking her up. Ruby sat up slowly while giving Piper, who was on her lap, the glare of death, now I felt bad. Well until Piper blubbered what happened. Ruby allows Piper to get before she went after me, aw shit. Sprinting out the door with my tiny legs, my feet carried me down the stairs and out the front door.
Ruby and I are pretty much equal for speed; she has her strength while I have my stamina. She follows me out the front door and is close to catching me. Taking a quick left, we circled the house twice before noticing she wasn't behind me anymore. Stopping at the back of the place to listen for any movement from Ruby, I hear something to the right of me. We were running counter clockwise before and she must have wanted me to think she was going go the other way around. Sprinting to the opposite side of where Ruby was hiding, I race up the steps and into the orphanage. Hopefully Ruby didn't see nor hear me.
Going up the steps to our room, I sliding under my bed to hide. With my blankets from winter still under here, that's what helped me hide.
A few minutes pass and Ruby comes back into the room looking tired. Her eyes scan the room and stop at my bed.
"Gabriel, you can come out now," she offered. Either go out and hopefully doesn't pound me into oblivion or stay under here and be safe. Piper and Ruby do need to get going. Sighing, I crawl out from my hiding spot.
"The whole reason I woke you up was to tell you, you and Piper have Laundry duty." She nods before she heads out the door, to probably get Piper.
After all that, it was my turn to get to cleaning. The bathroom holds all the supplies to get cleaning. Going and getting the things that are needed, I get to work.
Two, three hours later, the living room was finally spotless. Now though my body was covered in the dirty and sweat from cleaning.
Mostly everyone here was up and walking around, meaning the bathroom was most-likely full of kids. The line wasn't as long as it was suspected to be, only 2 kids waiting.
Waiting for the kids to get down was one of the longest times I have ever waited. One kid took a thirty minute shower, using up all the hot water for me. Though I do prefer cold showers.
Kevin and I needed to talk about our plan, maybe even take Wheelie with us. Heading up stairs to talk to Kevin and Wheelie about our master plan. Ruby and Piper weren't in the room and I past Charlie on the way up the stairs.
"Hey, Kev, Wheelie. Want to talk about our plan of finding this Starscream dude?" I questioned as my feet carried me into our room. He looks up to me with a smile and nodded his head.
While going over the plan, we looked over the papers we have. It was under our noses this entire time. The old mine shaft off of Webber Canyon road. A perfect place to hide for a huge robot. I tell the others what came to mind.
Now knowing where he was hiding, we rushed over to the mine. It was going to be along walk over there.
Three hours later of walking, jogging, and running with the complaints from Kevin and Wheelie. With my high endurance, I was able to easily not be tired.
We came upon the mine shaft and being the sneaky sneaks we are, we quietly crept into the place. A loud growl scared all of us, almost making us give away our position. We get closer to where things sounded as if they were being thrown and a high pitched squeaky voice was yelling.
Wheelie was giving us trouble as he didn't really want to go any further with us. Instead of taking him with us as he would slow us down, we left him behind.
We continued to forward until we reached a huge cavern. A large robot, who seemed very pissed off, was throwing random pieces of metal around. A piece flew our way and hit right above where we hid. Making Kev and I scream in fear as the thing dropped in front of us. The yelling stopped right after our appearance making. Knowing we've been made, we rushed back from where we came.
Before we made it five steps, something grabbed each of us. It seemed like a robot hand, it squeezed the air out of my lungs. Banging on its hand to try to tell it to loosen its grip on me, I try to yelling at it but that was in vain. By the height and how close I am to this bot, I realize this is the bot we are looking for. Starscream.
At the beginning of this, I thought this was going to be a little story and full of stupid stuff so I could get out of writers block. With this story continuing and with a plot that will make it even longer, I decided to name the book. From now on, Transformers Short Story will be called Chance.
Guess whose sick... ME! Ugh! I'm not in the right state of mind so hopefully there isn't any mistakes. If there is please tell me so I can fix it.
Hope you liked the chapter. I wrote this yesterday and didn't go over it.
Let the wolf howl!
