Merry Christmas! Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas and getting everything your heart ever desired. And happy Kwanzaa to who celebrate the holiday! I'm going to leave a secret at the end of the story for 'The Time of Night is Midnight' followers and favorites.
A couple of weeks have passed and it's a normal day playing Mario Kart with my great friend, Piper.
"Nonononono!... I fucking hate you!" I scream with all my might at the small redhead playing Mario Kart. Piper smirks in reaction and gently nudges her shoulder against mine as a love pat. I cross my arms and narrow my eyes at her to show her my anger towards her.
"You don't hate me, you love soooooo much!" she sweet talks and my eyes roll once again. We set up another round of courses to play and cue more yelling and screaming at each other.
"What do you mean?! I crossed the line first! Ficken Holle!" I yelled once more at the T.V in anger that was boiling over the top of my bottle. Piper bursts out in laughter and falls to the floor even though she was sitting next to me. She continues to laugh and starts to have tears roll down her face.
"It's not funny!" I whined and crossed my arms to pout. A group of laughter sounded to the left of us and I glance behind us to see Sides and Sunstreaker. Sides is laughing his ass off and Sunstreaker attempting to hide the smile that is playing his lips.
My brows furrow to express my anger to him and I stand up to leave the humiliation which is happening to me. My feet swiftly carry me over to the only exit only for a wheel to block my exit. Gazing up to the tall bot with a glare that could scare the devil, I make my way around the wheel in my way. Except Sides moves it once more in front of me to halt my movement.
"Hey don't be pouty, we were only joking," Sides teases. Shaking my head, I move around the wheel once again yet he thinks it's a good idea to keep stopping me.
"Stop, Hide wants me to check in with him. Still, don't have his full trust," I growled at him and moved around his wheeled foot to continue my trip to find Hide. It wasn't necessarily a lie; Hide does want me to come to check in once in a while.
The activity of the Cons has been rising and lately, he has been overworked with keeping up with them, everyone has been. I understand he is busy and doesn't have time for me so I have been hanging out with everyone else to get my normal dose of human interaction.
The trip to the large training area for the humans was longer than expected. Well not really, this base is meant for giant robotic beings. And by the looks of it my guardian is nowhere in sight; instead, my eyes caught the sight of two other large bots watch over the training soldiers. My two considered sibling conversed with each other as there is nothing else to do.
"Hey Shorty one and Shorty two, having fun I see," I teased while making my over to Ruby and Kevin. By the mention of calling them Shorty's, they snap their heads in my direction with scowls to attempt to scare me. Well, Ruby is the only one scaring me at the moment.
Ruby stands up from her resting spot against a random crate, "would you like to repeat that my oh-so-ever loving sister." A ghost of expression of fear passed over my face and I nervously back away from the scary girl.
"Stop scaring the poor lil' lady," Jazz cuts in to save me from my doom. Peering up to the silver saboteur, I mouth 'thank you' to show my appreciation for him to stop Ruby's impending doom. He nods in my direction to acknowledge my appreciation.
"How's it hanging, buttercup?" I questioned to the layback bot that is standing next to the bot with his head always up his ass. Prowler needs to take a chill pill and relax.
"Nothing much, double dutch," he shot back with a smirk. A small smile followed suit on my face and I played roll my eyes at him.
Bring up the question that kind of needed to be answered, "do you know where Ironass, whoops excuse me, I mean Ironhide is?" Prowl glares at me with disappointment of my 'accident' and Jazz's smirk grew a centimeter.
"In Prahm's office but they're in a meetin'," he answered. Since they are in a meeting, I shouldn't go knocking. Nodding my head to show my appreciation once more, I began the long trek back to the Rec. room.
All of a sudden, the loud alarms of the base began to scream at me, telling me something is wrong. Peering around me, my eyes caught hold of bots and many humans running towards the main hanger. Wanting to be part of the group and not get run over, I rush with the group until we made it to the main hanger.
Optimus and William stood in the middle of the group, shouting out orders to prepare everyone for what seemed to be a battle.
Glancing over the group of bots and humans, I spot my group of siblings in the back and made my way towards them.
"Hey Gabe, did you hear what's going on?" Charlie questioned to gain any information from me. Shaking my head to answer her, my eyes scan over the crowd again. Bots are still scrambling around with humans moving out of the way before they could get underfoot and go squish. Optimus orders for Wheeljack, a bot I yet to meet, to activate something called a 'groundbridge'.
Something in the back of the hanger in the shape of a circle lit up with a beautiful mix of colors of green, blue, and a hint of purple. Everyone who was battle ready began to charge through the portal looking thing and disappeared. That spiked up interest for the odd structure and I peered over to Piper also giving me the same mischievous expression.
Before any of the others could catch onto what we are thinking, we sprint forwards into the large group of soldiers. We easily blend into the group and finally made it to the large portal; it's big enough for Optimus to walk through without having duck.
Passing through the portal had left me with my bones rattling in of my body and a tingle to pierce through my body. Out of the corner of my eye, Pip seemed to be affected as well.
We were snapped out of our confused state as the ground shook below us and we made a break for it to the closest build for protection. The surrounding is making its way into shambles; the road for vehicles is cracking tremendously and potholes the size of BMW bugs sat at random places.
Cons battled against the Bots and the two are stuck right in the middle of it. Fear ran throughout my body at the sight of a dark-colored drone in the air as it was thrown by the one and only Ironhide. We were forced to move from our safety as the Con crashed into the building.
The con rose from his spot in the now destroyed building and sighted us sprinting away from him. He gives chase and we tried to lose him through the crowd yet failed to notice the large Con fighting the Terror Twins leaking energon everywhere.
The Terror Twins rip into the Con and energon was spilled everywhere, including the small redhead below them. Piper lets out a blood curdling scream as the energon landed in her open eyes and I rush over to her. Using my hands to attempt to wipe away most of the energon away, it only burns my fingers which at that moment I wasn't giving a shit and spreads more on her face.
"Gabe, Pip! What are-is that energon on your face?" Sides questioned above us. Having no time to give a birch face or answer with heavy sarcasm, I answer rapidly with fear pouring into my voice.
"Yes! Get Ratchet please!" I begged while holding the screaming Piper. She is thrashing in my arms, attempting to leave my grip around her. Sunstreaker nods and his eyes dimmed for a few seconds before rushing off to defend us from the oncoming group of Decepticon drones, his twin stays nearby to protect is but to also alert Ratchet of where we are.
It wasn't less than a minute after for Ratchet to come barreling through a group of Con drones with a wrench of doom within his grasp. Without needing to have Sides point us out, Ratchet scopes us off the asphalt and carries us through the open portal. After that, the adrenaline rush has worn off and left me to not two seconds later, pass out from exhaustion.
I'm sorry the last part seems rushed, it's for some reason getting harder and harder to write stories. I might take a week off or two to get my writing juices filled up again. Don't worry; I will finish this book until the end. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
P.S: There will be a second book coming out but after I revise the first book. Remember i wrote this about a year ago and is in need of being revised.
Let the wolf howl!
