Chapter 7: a place to stay
Cold, ravenous, ear-splitting rain poured down hard on Chacargo. The streets were empty and deserted as most people had gone into the buildings to shelter themselves from the rain. Families were huddled togther in rooms, warmed by their fire places and dry bodies, as they ate and shared stories about their day or even simply watched the television, enjoying the company. But their warmth and security wasn't shared. Three figures entered the city on two well fed farm horses, one of them expecting a calf. They shivered in the cold, stomaches rumbling when ever they smalled the scent of cooked meals that the rain hadn't yet washed away. The first was the coppery brown headed teen, his dripping clothing, torn and filthy form his encouter with Starscream. The cold water from the storm ran over his painfull wounds as he sqinted through the rain to his twin, who sat not even two meters away on the pregnant female, leaning forward to try and shield their younger sibling from the worst of the thundering flood raining upon them. They looked up as a roar echoed through the blackened sky, fearful that the decpticons had perhaps found them once again. But the sound was different to the whooshing scream of a jet, and the lighting bolt that then cut through the darkness set them back at ease. The youths pushed the horses into a trot down the road , tring to find a place big enough for all five of them for the remainder of the night. The elder boy felt his energy dwindle, as the adrelilion from earlier that day left him, but he pushed on, determined to at least help his family get to safty for the night, before he let the bliss of sleep take him. His twin wasn't far behind him, but her energy was more than his. The three moved in the thundering rain, noticing how the buildings grew taller and closer together as they neared the centre of town. Dark and empty shops stood on both their sides, their windows barley reflecting their images off the glass. The rain slittered and slattered against the ground, some of it running in what seemed like gallons down the gutters, creating a sound that reminded the youths of water filling a tub, making them long for the home they now never could return to. Puddles formed omn the worn and well used tar of the roads beneth them, the chemical free liquid lappng at the soles of their bare, pale feet when ever one of the horses steped into them. As they crossed thiugh an alleyway between two blocks of flats, the two elder teens spoted something out of the corner of their eyes. A garage door, barly open, but open none the less and the girl sprang off her horse, leaving the toddler to the onslaught of the rain, and went to inspect further. There seemed to be no alarms connected to the doorsand when she pulled them open, she realised that it was exactly what they were looking for. The garage was slightly narrow but big enough for everyone to fit. There was a collector's item camaro car in the middle, but otherwise it was bigg enough for the horses to stay at the front and the three of them at the back. The girl ran out into the rain again, nodding to her twin, before she took the reigns of her own horse and pulled her and the toddler inside. The other boy followed suite and let his twin close the door again. The girl picked the thourghly wet and cold toddler off the horse and placed him behind the car before she helped her brother down from his own ride, too tired to cry out as some of the energon acid that Starscream had bleed and was left on the boy's clothes, rubbed onto her pale, slippery skin, and ate away at her clothes. She surported her sibling around the car and laid him down onto the cold floor, her own muscles crying out at the movement, before she laid herself down next to him, the toddler spening no time to quickly wedge himself between the two and settle down for the night. The air was no more colder in here than outside, but the three yougths were gratefull as they had been saved from the rain. The boy sighed and finnaly let himself be carried away by the bliss of sleep, his twin not far from him…
