Here's the second chapter of my story ^3^, thanks for reading the first chapter, I appreciate it.
On with the story!
Amber stirred as the birds chirped outside. She blinked and opened her eyes as she looked around her room, a low grunt escaped her lips as she looked around again, she tried to sit up but noticed something heavy was on her chest. She looked down to see why it was so heavy and to her disbelief, something was curled up on her chest sleeping, clicking softly, eyes widened as she opened her mouth.
-Whoa there girl, don't startle tha sparkling.- Came an order.
Amber blinked and looked around for the source of the voice as she slowly sat up into sitting position, making sure to not wake up the little robot as she held it to her chest.
"Wh-who said that?" She whispered.
-I did kitten.-
"Eep." Amber squeaked, looking around more for the source of the voice without much luck. The voice laughed.
-Girl I ain't anywhere, but in here.-
"I-In where?" She asked, freaking out which caused the little robot to stir from it's slumber and look at her with a pair of curious optics.
-In you kitten.-
"I-In me? You're in my body!?" Amber was freaking out now, the sparkling whined from how loud she got.
-Kitten, what did I tell ya bout scarin the sparkling.-
"What?"
-Look down sweetspark.-
She did that and was met with a pair of electric blue optics as the two stared at each other, the sparkling chirped and squirmed in her arms. She said nothing and watched as the sparkling wormed it's way out of her arms and crawled on her bed, looking at the TV with utter curiosity. Amber blinked and then pinched herself, winching when she realized it wasn't a dream but reality, that it was all real and happening.
'Ok, so I'm not losing it.' She thought.
-Of course ya not kitten.-
A frown appeared on her lips. 'But...Where did you come from?'
-Sorry bout that squirt, I had to use ya, without ya I would of left dis planet for good.-
'You're dead!?'
-Technically no, without you then yes, but I'm alive through ya.-
'So it's because of me you're alive.' Amber concluded.
-Dat's right kitten, ya saved mah life.-
She said nothing, a life, she saved a life without even trying, without much effort, she felt flattered that she saved a life, even it if meant she had to share her body with another.
'So...If I die, you would too.'
-Yes, I would.-
'Ok, now that I've stopped freaking out...What's your name?'
-Designation is Jazz kitten, you?-
'Amber, my name is Amber.'
-Amber eh, hope ya don't mind if I keep on callin you kitten.-
'N-Not at all.' She spluttered, embarrassed that she was given a nickname, her 'Friend' never gave her a nickname.
A chirp got her attention as she saw the little sparkling press it's tiny servo to the TV screen. Amber said nothing but observe from her position on the bed.
'What's a sparkling?' She suddenly asked Jazz.
-A sparkling is tha human equivalent of a baby.- Came the explanation.
'So I got a robot baby in my room.'
-Some advice kitten, saying Robot is probably not tha best thing ta say, we find it...Insulting.-
'But...What are you?'
-Me? I'm an autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron, Autobot for short.-
'But what can I call the little one then?'
-Well not Robot, saying Cybertronian sparkling would be better.-
'Ah...'
-Yer confused, I can understand dat kitten.-
'So...What's the story?'
-Hope you're sittin down kitten, it's quite the story.-
'Go for it, I got time.'
Jazz began to explain to her as short as he could. Amber would nod once in a while as the story of his planet was told, how she was told Megatron chased the Allspark that was ejected into space to earth and some man called Archibald Witwicky found him and activated the navigation system by accident and the code was placed on the glasses.
He then began to explain the events that led up to Mission City, and how Megatron tore him in half. Amber cringed at that and the mental image she got from it.
-Next thing I knew is dat I left mah body and floated for two weeks, den the next thing I knew I found myself here and entered yer body.-
'Wow.' Amber breathed as the sparkling sat on her lap, chirping. 'That's some story.'
-Did I bore ya?-
'Not at all, it's better than History class.'
-Aren't ya suppose to be in school squirt?-
'I'm skipping.' She admitted.
-But...Why?-
'I'm nothing but a punching bag and a doormat to the other students.' She whispered, blinking back the tears. 'I only get bullied by other kids, even the ones in the neighbourhood.'
-Parents?-
She laughed bitterly. 'They don't care, they don't give a shit about me!' The tears fell. 'They only care about my other siblings, they pretend I don't exists.'
-Slag...I'm sorry kitten.-
She wiped the tears away. 'It's fine Jazz, don't worry about it, it's the first time I talked to someone about my problems, I didn't bother as nobody would of listened to me, a nobody, an outcast, a freak!'
-Listen here Amber- Jazz said sternly, the cheerfulness gone. -Stop talking slag bout yerself, you're none of those kitten, they're just jealous yer better than them-
'You think so?' She asked softly.
-Trust me squirt, I know so, and besides, how bad can dem kids be?-
She said nothing as the Sparkling sat on her lap, chirping softly. Amber looked to the sparkling on her lap but then looked to her TV.
'...What should I name the sparkling?' Amber suddenly asked.
-Well...A feminine name, dat's what, the sparkling is a femme.-
'A what?'
-Femme is another word for female, and mech is male.-
'Wait...You had females on your planet?'
-Sure do kitten, but not much, Megsy used ta order the extermination of femmes and sparklings.-
'That's...Disgusting.'
-Ah, dat's how he is kid.-
'So...What do we do?'
-Eh?-
'I mean...Surely they kept your body, right?'
-Hope so kitten, Hatchet is probably fixin it as we speak.-
'Hatchet?'
-Never say dat around Ratchet, he hates it, oh, and Ratchet is the best CMO I met.-
'So, this Ratchet is a medic, right?'
-Sure is kitten.-
'...I got a lot to learn huh.'
-Sure do, I can explain while we head to Tranquility if ya want to.-
'Wow, that's um...A long way.'
-Is it too far kitten?-
'No, not at all, I wanted an excuse to leave this home for a long time'
-We'll be gone for a long while Amber, ya up to it?-
'Yeah, I'm up to it, nobody will miss me anyway.'
-...-
Amber huffed as she packed clothing into a rucksack. The sparkling sat on her pillow watching with utter curiosity. Amber glanced to the sparkling.
"I know you won't like it, but you'll have to sit in the bag for now."
A whine.
"When we're away from human eyes and on our own I will let you out then." She assured the little sparkling she has yet to name.
She had a chirp as a response, she hoped the sparkling understood her. Amber stood up straight and then glanced to outside, everyone in the neighbourhood was at work and she had to move before they came home and some came back between 5 and 6PM, so she had to move to catch a bus to the next town over. A sigh escaped her, she was done, there wasn't much clothing anyway, she had her sister's old clothes while her sibling got new ones each time.
Amber changed into a pair of jeans, an orange tank top, a smoke grey zip up hoodie on top and lastly her red converse shoes on her feet. She sighed as she placed sunglasses into her pocket.
"What should I name you?" She murmured.
The sparkling tilted her helm and looked at the brunette as Amber began to think of a name for the black bot sitting on her pillow. She sighed and began to think more as a frown appeared on her face, name, she couldn't think of a name, it was too difficult to think of one, one name hit her as a small smile appeared on her lips.
"Sounds stupid, but I think I like Nova."
The sparkling perked up at the name as Amber's smile grew.
"What do you think? Like the name Nova?" Amber asked.
She had a happy chirp as a response, the smile turned into a grin at the name for the little bot.
'Suits her.' Amber thought.
-Sure does kitten.-
The brunette jumped, she had completely forgot she was sharing her body with a giant alien robot from another planet.
-Sorry for scarin ya kitten.-
'It's fine.' She breathed.
Nova crawled to the rucksack and climbed into the waterproof part, transforming back into the Xbox. Amber blinked and then grinned, her brother was going to lose it big time when he finds his Xbox missing. She shrugged, not her problem at all. Amber sealed the bag and then closed the flap, securing it.
She looked around her room, there really wasn't good memories in this room, only bad and dull, breathing out slowly. She grabbed the bag and then walked off.
-Ya sure kitten?- Jazz asked her.
'I wouldn't of packed now would I?'
He grinned. -Yer determined.-
'Well yes, I wanted out from this neighbourhood for a long time now, now that I got the chance I'm taking it.'
Amber left the bedroom, giving one last glance as she walked down the hallway, the house quiet and empty. She walked down the stairs and grabbed the keys that were in a box, then closing the box behind her. Amber began to ponder, should she write a letter? No, what was the point, they would probably throw it away. Walking to the front door she unlocked the door and then stepped out. Locking the door behind her.
"Look! It's the freak!" One of the neighbourhood kids taunted.
"Oh yeah, the girl nobody loves, not even her parents." Another sneered.
"At least my parents love me." A girl taunted.
Amber wordlessly shoved the key through the letterbox, she could hear Jazz growl.
'You were saying?'
-I take that 'How bad can dem kids be.' back.-
She walked down the street, ignoring the taunts from the other kids as they continued to taunt her from afar. She rolled her eyes at their immaturity while Jazz huffed but continued anyway, even if a couple caught up with her on their bikes.
"That's it, walk freak walk!"
She bit back the growl that wanted to escape her mouth and kept on going, she kept going and not stop at all, not once.
-Ignore em kitten, at the end of tha day, you'll get tha last laugh.-
'Mmhm, hope so.'
'Ok so...If you're in a war...What are the sides?' Amber asked.
She managed to get away from her tormentors and was now waiting for a bus to get out of town as she sat on the bench waiting for a bus, it would only take her over to the next town but she then would have to get another then, she took money from the home, the money she saved from birthday and Christmas cards. She scoffed, at least she had some presents even if it wasn't anything fancy.
-Well, there are tha Autobots lead by Optimus Prime and there are tha Decepticons lead by Megatron, well, were lead by Megatron, now probably lead by Starscream, lastly there were neutrals also.-
'Autobots, Decepticons and Neutrals, got it.'
Amber looked around as she patiently waited, the sun was beating down as she sighed and wiped her forehead, it was hot, really hot.
'How can I tell if I come across a Decepticon?'
-Well kitten, a con's optics are red while a bot's optics are blue.-
'Blue, like Nova's?'
-Yeah, dat's right.-
She hummed as the bus arrived. She hopped off the seat she was on and grabbed her rucksack and went to board the bus, she paid to get into the next town and then sat in her seat, the rucksack on the floor.
The door to the bus closed and then left the bus stop. Amber closed her eyes and then opened them. Looking out the window as she began her journey.
And done! There, a longer chapter than the first one, sorry there was more talking in this one but Amber was very curious.
And no Nova doesn't talk because she's a sparkling, but she will eventually as she gets her youngling frame.
Yes and Kitten is Jazz's nickname for Amber, I thought it was cute to do so, so meh.
I'm hoping to introduce the other bots soon, even if Amber doesn't meet them for a while.
Anyway, I'm gonna stop my rambling, before you go and read something else, please leave a review, thanks.
