"Changes Between Us"
Chapter Four-Them
Krystal couldn't help but panic. What was that thing chasing them? It was like some weapon of mass destruction. A terrorist trap maybe? Or maybe there was someone inside that needed to women as hostiges?
Krystal didn't know.
She thought fast. How could they escape in one piece? Two huge robots stood on either side and they were trapped. Charli was rambling about breaking Krystal's Ipod, and that wasn't helping.
Lord, what do we do?
She grabbed Charli's wrist and pulled her. The robots were distracted at he moment, and this was their chance. They crawled over to a truck and rolled underneath and braced themselves up with their elbows. Both were breathing heavily from the effort and they steadied themselves.
"What are they, Krys?"
She shook her head slowly and answered, "No idea, Charli. Shhh, they're talking."
They listened as the cop car thing began screaming, "WHERE DID THOSE FEMMES'S GO!!!?"
He began searching the ground while the other semi thing took out two huge weapons. From what Krystal could make out they were swords. But brightly lit orange ones? It didn't compute properly.
"FEMME'S!"
The cop car had spotted them and lifted the truck. Both the girls screamed and Charli looked up.
"KRYSTAL, THAT'S NOT A FUNNY JOKE!!"
Krystal looked down and then up. Her shirt was stuck to a part of the truck and she screamed. The cop car was looking at her face to face and he smelled terrible.
"Who's joking!?"
Krystal recoiled from the terrible smell of the robot and silenced herself. She heard a sound that was not good.
Charli heard it to.
"Krystal!"
Krystal's shirt was ripping slowly. She looked up and swallowed hard.
That's not good!!
She looked to the robot who screamed, "Where is the shard!?"
"What?!"
"Krystal, look out!"
Krystal looked right and screamed again. The semi thing charged and took the cop car down, and the truck went soaring. Krystal screamed again and she learched forward. She hit something hard and the glass shattered. She looked from underneath the car and saw the semi . He had the cop car pinned under his foot and he held the car at hand. She swallowed and looked up under the truck. Her shirt ripped again and then she was released.
"AH!"
Charli shot up from her sitting position and ran out to catch her, "Krystal, OMgosh!"
Krystal looked down and her death soon would meet her. Concrete. Pure, solid concrete. There was no way she'd live and she heard Charli scream again. Her life shot before her memory and then she cried out.
"Ouch!"
She hit something hard again. Concrete? No, something else. Something cold, something smooth. She propped herself slowly with her hands and her arms shook from the impact. Blackness dotted before her eyes and she put a hand to her head.
"Oh..."
"Are you alright?"
Krystal whipped around and her eyes went wide. She crawled backwards until she hit something and then whipped her head back. Huge fingers blocked the edge and she turned towards it again.
"Um..."
His eyes were piercing. They were a electric blue and she heard Charli call up, "Krys, you okay?"
Krystal was at a loss of words. She swallowed again.
His facial features were amazing. Blue and silver, and he had antennae's on either side and his optics blinked twice. His stare bore worry and compassion and Krystal tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Are you alright, human?"
Krystal nodded and answered, "Y-yes....I'm fine."
"You took a hard fall. I apologize."
She shook her head, fear still overtaking her body, "I-i-it's okay, I-I'm fine."
He nodded and gently set her down and she slid off his hand. Charli ran up to her and tackled her in a hug.
"KRYSTAL YOUR OKAY! I WAS WORRIED! DID THIS TOASTER HURT YOU!?"
Krystal took a sharp breath in and answered, "Can't...breathe...release..."
Charli let go, "Oh, sorry."
Krystal nodded and answered, "I'm okay."
Then they both turned. He was still there, towering and intimadating. Charli swallowed and gripped Krystal's hand. Krystal took a breathe in and she couldn't stop staring. She recalled Charli's words and turned to her.
"Why did you call him a toaster? He saved my life, Charli!" she whispered harshly.
Charli stumbled for words. That was new, " Um, well, he's robotic, Krys. That was the first word that popped into my-"
"Puny head!"
Charli's mouth dropped open, "Ya know, mean isn't your thing. I like nice better."
Krystal rolled her eyes and groaned, and face palmed herself.
"Excuse me, are you Krystal Sandrae?"
Her head shot to him and her eyes widened, "Yes. Who are you and how do you know my name?"
He shifted his weight and answered, "I, am Optimus Prime, from the planet Cybertron."
"Wha-"
"CYBERWHAT? YOU'RE AN ALIEN!?"
Krystal shot a look to Charli, who was grinning and jumping up and down. She gripped her arm and Charli breathed deeply.
"I told you they were real!"
Krystal gave a look, "What?"
"Aliens, I told you they were real."
Krystal looked to the semi and nodded, "Okay, Optimus Prime sir, what are you doing here?"
He looked down, "I'm here to protect you."
Krystal gave him a look, "Excuse me?"
"I and my team have come to protect you from them."
He pointed to the cop car, who lay still. Krystal looked to it and nodded, "Okay, why?"
"Because you have the Allspark shard."
"What?" Charli piped up.
He began to change into his semi mode and was silent. Charli and Krystal watched amazed and their eyes shot up. The parts stopped moving and the door opened.
"I'll tell you on the way."
