*I only own my OC, Transformers does not belong to me.

Sorry about not updating sooner, I got writers block. But the plot bunny has graced me again, so on with the story!

Chapter 9-Feelings

4:00pm

"Leah hold on, we're going to try and lure Barricade away from other people and away from civilization in case he tries to attack. Whatever I tell you to do, do it no questions asked."

I looked at Sides and said, "Sides I will, I promise. Please be careful, I don't want anything to happen to you."

4:30pm

Barricaded decided he just had to ruin our bonding moment by shooting lasers and rockets towards us. Sideswipe swerved to miss the incoming barrage of laser and rocket fire. He frantically put in a distress call to the Autobots. "Sideswipe to any available Autobot, Leah and I are being attacked by Barricade. My tracking beacon is active, and Leah has been told to hide in the woods and not come out until someone gets her. Sideswipe out."

"Leah get out now and run for the forest. Stay there until your uncle or one of the Autobots is there to get you. You are very important to me and the other Autobots, and I don't want to see you get hurt. Now go." I looked at Sideswipe, tears starting to run down my cheeks as I got out of his alt mode. Before I could say anything to him he yelled loudly, "Run now!"

As I watched Sideswipe drive away I whispered, "Be careful Sides, I love you." Crying I turned and ran towards the forest and away from the sounds of clashing metal and gunfire that shook the ground. I ran until I couldn't run anymore. I came across a little cave that I could hide in until help came….whenever that was. I was so frightened and scared for Sides that I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. My cheeks were tear stained, and I was filthy from head to toe from hiding in the cave. It seemed like time lasted forever. I wanted to venture from my hiding spot but I promised Sideswipe I wouldn't go anywhere so I stayed where I was. I was getting tired, so I leaned back on a not so comfortable rock and fell asleep.

Parents House 4:00pm

"Andrew, Joey have you seen Leah?" Mom asked. "I know she should have been home from school by now and I'm getting worried. Uncle Will and some of the soldiers he is working with will be coming by and Leah needs to be here. I'm going to call her cell phone and see where she is." Before Andrew and Joey could reply she picked up the phone and dialed Leah's number. They stood patiently by their mother's side as they waited for Leah to pick up the phone.

*RING, RING, RING, RING, RING, RING, RING, RING, RING, RING, RING, RING…."

"Boys she's not answering her phone, this isn't like her. " Andrew looked at mom and said, "Maybe she forgot her cell phone at school." After Andrew said that dad came into the kitchen from the garage, looked at mom and said, "What's wrong?" After dad heard that mom couldn't get a hold of Leah he agreed that Andrew might be right, but it wasn't like Leah to forget her phone. He decided that he was going to call over to Will and Sarah's to see if she was over there since she liked hanging out with Annabelle. Before he could do that a black GMC Topkick, a red and blue flamed Peterbuilt semi, and a yellow rescue Hummer came up the drive. Optimus, Will, Ironhide and Rachet got out of their alt modes and headed up to the door.

4:15pm

Dad went to the door, and opened it for Will and the others. Dad looked at Will and said, "Will is Leah with Annabelle? She isn't answering her phone and she should have been home an hour ago. Tela is frantic with worry and I don't know what to tell her. Just then all of the Autobots in Wills Company stiffened as this message came across their internal comm system, "Sideswipe to any available Autobot, Leah and I am being attacked by Barricade. My tracking beacon is active, and Leah has been told to hide in the woods and not come out until someone gets her. Sideswipe out." Optimus asked Will to step outside for a moment. Will then was told what was happening with Leah and Sideswipe. Optimus tried to contact Sideswipe but got no answer. A grave look came across the mighty Autobot leader. He looked at Will and said, "We need to get to Leah and Sideswipe as soon as possible. We can track Sideswipes beacon easily enough, but finding Leah might be a little harder." Optimus and Will came back in and said, "My name is Optimus, and I work in a special operations part of the military. We just got word that Leah and one of the soldiers under my command went missing after being attacked by our enemies. We will do everything in our power to find Sideswipe and Leah. " Will gave a sympathetic look to his sister Tela, brother in law Ken, and his two nephews he said, "We will find her and bring her back here. I'll call you when I know something." The Autobots and Will gave them all a sympathetic look as they went through the door. The last thing that they heard was everyone crying and praying that Leah was okay.
