Chapter 7: Greif

The next day...

Bee was worried about Sam. The death of his cousin had hit the man hard, his mother even harder. On the trip to Tranquility Sam's stress level had yet to lower, Bee could tell the human was blaming himself...

"In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ, we commend to Almighty God our sister, Ezekiel; and we commit her body to the ground..." The preacher read from the book in his hands.

Sam stared at the casket with hard eyes as the casket began to lower into the ground, his eyes hard as he held his weeping mother as she openly wailed. Ronald Witwicky stood beside them both rubbing a reassuring hand on his wife shoulders, his eyes damp. The threesome watched as she was commended to the earth... Bee felt sad for the girl for in the end only three people had even graced her funeral... Despite the fact that Sam had pointed out she had a stepmother and two half siblings...

"Earth to earth; ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The Lord bless her and keep her, the Lord make his face to shine upon her and be gracious unto her and give her peace. Amen."

Bee felt a pang of guilt as the preacher closed the book. He couldn't help but feel sorry for his charge's family, but he felt guilt over the circumstances that had brought them to this point... Because of the human's government keeping their existence under tightened lips, the Witwicky's had been sworn to silence under punishment of treason should they let it slip...

They had cut this poor youngling out of their lives with only the barest of phone calls and letters to bind them. When she had disappeared, Sam had feared to worst, and ironically it had been the worst if what Ratchet and the telepath had gotten off of Barricade.

Thoughts of the ex-Decepticon made him growl, his engine revving lightly in anger. If the bastard had really developed a Guardian-Charge bond with her then why the hell hadn't the 'Con do something sooner to get his charge out of harm's way? They wouldn't be here at this point if...

Bumblebee sighed and shook his head as he remembered something Sam said on the way to Tranquility as Bee had tried to express his condolences...

"What's done is done... it's not like we can change anything that has happened, Bee. If I could have made my parents take Zeke in when her father died I would have, If I had known about her association with Barricade, I would have tried to convince her not to go through with their plan, If I, if I, if I... There are so many 'ifs' but this is how it came out. And there is nothing that can change the fact that she's gone."

A hand on his holoform's shoulder broke him from his thoughts as Sam stopped beside him. "Sam..." Bee started but Sam only shook his head.

"Bee... Let's go for a drive."

"He's been in there for five days." Starscream muttered as he glanced at the door to Megatron's quaters.

"He was fine according to my readings Screamer. I'm not going to pester him to find out what he's thinking. The only this I know that won't guarantee a swift offlining to anybot is news that we've gotten the ship fully operational." Hook commented as he urged the mech towards the med bay.

Megatron growled in annoyance as their voices faded. He had been here for five days because he had felt something he hadn't felt in Cycles.. It had flared so bright to his sensors amidst his battle with his deserter that it had given the slagging mech the opportunity to get away... But no sooner than he had felt that energy, it had vanished and remained untraceable since.

:Lord Megatron.:

:Yes Shockwave what is it?:

:I have finished stripping Sentinel Prime of all useful data. It appears that he only had half of the plans for reconstructing the space bridge. The other half he deleted seeing as he collaborated with another mech. However I have found some useful scientific research in his memory files which I intend to use to further our cause... However I need some volunteers and some test subjects.:

Megatron grit his denta. Of course the slagging Prime had deleted his memory files. Sentinel more than likely didn't intend to go through with his plan to help him restore their world and let me be the one to rule it.

:Do what ever you want to Sentinel. Either make him one of your test subjects or offline him.:

Megatron growled over the comm link before returning to his search.

"Arr! I got ya!"

Twin sets of giggles exploded from the two children in her arms. "Did you think you could hide from me? I am the queen of hide and seek!"

Another giggle came from across the room. "I think I could beat ya and steal that crown from ya Miki..." the girl taunted her older cousin.

"Trust me you couldn't." Mikaela set the twins back into the floor.

"If you say so... Say are you going to take them to the park tomorrow? Daddy said they're doing a bonfire tomorrow."

"I don't know Nora, fires and toddlers don't go well together."

The preteen looked crushed. "Aw... and I wanted to give em s'mores..."

"My point exactly." Mikaela smiled warmly as the phone began to ring.

"I'll get it..." the girl said as she jumped up from her seat to get the phone. "Hello...?"

Mists began to cover the scene as it faded...

"Where is he? Where is my son?" Mikaela demanded at the nurses station.

"Momma!"

"Dion! Oh god what happened? Where's Nora?"

"She's still in surgery..."

"What?! Dion what happened?"

The seven year old looked down at the floor.

"You are his mother right?" a doctor had come over.

"Yes. What happened? Why does my son have a cast and where is his cousin?!"

"Well Miss Banes, According to what the EMT's got off your Niece-"

"Cousin."

"Okay cousin, your son thought it would be a good thing to emulate a bicycle stunt he saw on t.v..."

The scene faded out again... and Mikaela was left in darkness...

I never did thank you...

"Who... Who's there? Who are you?"

You did... I was with you for the better part of the last decade... You know me because you saved me... Do you not remember our deal?

The mists began to envelope her again...

"Where... Where am I?" A younger version of herself blinked at the surroundings..

Forgive me young one... but I need your help...

"Who who are you?"

Are you sure you want me to answer that?

Mikaela bit her lip as she stared into the shadows... "... What is it you need how can I help?"

You already have... You have given me new life... I only wanted to apologize that I have taken the liberty of using you to make my new catalyst...

"Okay yeah I wanta know. Just who are you?"

I am the Allspark young one.

The scene faded out... and Mikaela was in the dark again...

"You... You're the Allspark..."

"I am."

Mikaela spun to find a tall young woman standing there... Bearing a strong resemblance to her minus the fact that she had long curly raven hair and Sam's nose... and the glowing blue eyes...

"But... how...?"

"I thought that this form would calm you. This is what we will look like when my other half has fully become aware of my presence."

"We?"

"The one you call Samantha..."

"WHAT?" Mikaela yelled as the dream shattered...

Mikaela sat straight up in the bed, a drenched in a cold sweat. Her head ached as she put a hand to it in a feeble attempt to stem pain... Her heart pounded in her chest as she tried to fight the echoes of the dream... But was it a dream? a tiny voice echoed in the back of her mind...
