Dream Walkin`

Amanda tore full force down the street the darkness was closing in behind her. She had to keep running had to keep ahead of the dark. Buildings crumbled around her as the dark touched them. People became statues frozen in anger and fear. Calls of hate echoed from the dark. Voices she knew ones she had called friends cursed her called her names. She fought against tears when she saw the gym, standing tall and proud. New paint shining in the sun far from the darkness. It was her safety.

"Amanda!" The darkness called out but she never stopped.

She faltered in her steps as it called to her again this time with her mother's voice. It scolded her. Told her of every wrong she did, every person she hurt or abandoned. It was starting to overtake the buildings ahead of her cutting off her exit. She ran faster. She would make it this time.

The darkness poured onto the street cutting her off surrounding her. Amanda stopped and looked at the encroaching circle of whispers and curse of memories and fears. She screamed covering her ears. Tears finally breached her eyes as she dropped to her knees. The dark touched her feet freezing them. It would take her make her cold make her nothing if it reached her heart. The cold rose to her ankles and then it stopped. The harsh words, the cold, the fear were gone. All replaced by something strangely warm with a steady rhythm.

Opening her eyes the ground below her had changed. It wasn't black asphalt any more but what looked to be some form of metal. Lifting her head Amanda could see buildings far too tall to exist on earth made of a foreign crystal. She stood swallowing the fear in her throat.

"Ya doin alright, kid?"

Amanda turned to see a silver mech kneeling down with a hand extended. She took in the frame and studied the face. A lop sided smile was positioned under a light blue visor. "Jazz?" She questioned hugging herself stepping away.

"Got it in one." He said standing up.

"Wow, you're tall." She said smiling up at him.

"Glad someone thinks so." He chuckled rubbing the back of his helm. "What was that?"

"Nightmare."

"That was intense, kid. Ya have nightmares like that a lot."

Amanda nodded looking away. "Yeah, every night. Reminds me where I'm at in the world." She scanned the area around them taking in the buildings. The world was alien to her but there was the feeling of home echoing of the crystalscape. "Where are we?"

"Crystal City on Cybertron. They had the best calming vibes." Jazz looked down at her with a smile. "Ya can feel em, right?"

"Yeah." She hummed nodding. Amanda was basking in the vibes as Jazz called them. It was so different from what she was used to and didn't want to ruin it but she had to know. "Tell me, how are we here?"

"We are actually in a memory of mine. Wit our resonation the same I can pull ya in."

"Why?"

Jazz looked down at her. "Kid, we are in dis together and ya looked like ya needed rescued back there."

Amanda ruffled her hair looking around. She could see the outer limits of the memory and there sat the darkness; waiting for its chance to come though. Senselessly she took a step back bumping into a large hand. Glancing up she could see Jazz smile. "I'm here."

Feeling a sense of ease wash over her Amanda sat down. Her legs stretched out in front of her and her arms supporting her she looked up at the silver bot. "So if we are in this together want to tell me what's going on?"

Jazz smiled and began to tell her the tale of the Cybertron. He told her about its history, how the war started, who the Decepticons were and how they came to Earth. She would interrupt now again to ask questions. Like what is the All Spark or who is Primus and Jazz would happily explain. Several times he would go into explanations and the city around them would change. It shifted from Crystal City, to Praxis, to a battle field, to an empty medical table in a half demolished room but at the end of each he would see the area had changed and the Crystal City would quickly build up around them again.

By the time he was done Amanda's head was pounding from all the information her laid on her. Yet in all of it she noticed something he never actually spoke about himself. Sure he had mentioned that he was in some places but he never said anything relevant. She massaged her temples and twisted her neck.

"So let me get this straight a race of cybernetic aliens from the distant plant of Cybertron brought an intergalactic war to our back water organic world in hopes of finding an ancient artifact that controls the existence of life on their planet."

"Yep."

"In doing so awakened the leader of the Decepticons. Who has been in a cryogenic state for nearly as long as said artifact has been on Earth but was discovered and brought to the States by the ancestor of one Samuel Witci…Witkik…"

"Witwicky."

"Yeah that." She said snapping her fingers. "Any ways along with the All Spark artifact both have been housed in Hoover Dam blocking out any signal or sign about their location until recently. Which lead to the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robot duke out in Mission City."

"Sounds about right."

"Sounds like I'm on a bad drug trip." She grumbled laying back flat to cover her eyes with her hands. Her mind buzzed back to the fight and processed the information she had been given. "Who's Prowl?"

Jazz tipped his head. "Ya know 'bout Prowl?"

Amanda sat up and stared at Jazz. "Wait, you don't remember telling me I resonated like Prowl?" Jazz shook his head. "But you knew your spark leapt to me because we resonate the same."

He smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his helm. "Well I only guessed that much after I came too."

She glared at him. "What's the last thing you do remember?"

"Megatron grabbin a hold a me than a whole pit of pain." His visor dimmed slightly. "Ah do remember feeling somethin' like Prowl but somewhat weaker and Ah know Ah saw you but after I hit the ground my audio went out. My optics did work that well either."

Amanda scrubbed her face. "You said I resonated like Prowl then grabbed me. So who is he?"

"My spark mate."

"Spark mate?"

"Um…" Jazz had to pause a minute to think. He never had a reason to think of how to explain this topic to a human. "A spark is what makes us who we are and a spark mate is another bot that resonates the same and is someone we are meant to be together with."

"So it's like a soul mate?"

"What's a soul?"

"Well some people believe that it is a spectral part of us that that exists after we die or when we are alive."

"Your soul is just a belief?"

"Yeah, I mean it's not like you can see it or anything."

"Well our sparks are housed in our chest plates." He said thumping over the respective spot.

"That must have been what that blueish white light was." Amanda mused studding Jazz's frame.

"Wait, ya saw my spark." He said his tone giving away his startled surprise.

"Yeah when you grabbed me you said Prowl and pulled me towards your chest. It was pretty banged up and something was flickering. I…" She looked away suddenly realizing that she should have kept her hands to herself. "Well it was warm and I reached out for it. Then something came out of your chest and went into mine."

There was a moment of silence and Amanda assumed Jazz was angry until a very loud happy laugh spilled out of him. She looked up at him surprised. "Ya saved my life because ya couldn't keep your hands to yourself."

Looking up at him she gawked at him surprised. "I saved your life?"

He looked down before lifting her from the ground to raise her to his level. "Ah don't know how long that my body would have held together ta support my spark so yeah ya did."

The one corner of Amanda's lip turned up in a smirk. "I guess so." She answered before letting loose a rough laugh. Her head felt heavy and she sat in his palm holding her head.

"Ya okay kid."

"Jazz, you'll be there when I wake up won't you."

"Of course."

"Good because I really don't want this to just be a crazy dream."

A/N: *ducks behind laptop* If you throw something and brake my laptop you will not get another update! Actually you might fix the blasted thing. Anyways sorry for the wait and short chapter but I really didn't want to cut between awake and dreams it always gets confusing and I don't want to confuse myself. No these dream chapters won't be a common thing. They may happen I think one maybe two more times. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will answer if it doesn't expose too much of the story. Good Reading!
