As he walked out the front door and into the driveway next to the flamed blue and red Peterbilt semi truck which was parked next to Bumblebee, Prime's holoform flickered for a moment and he gasped, leaning on the hood as he caught his breath. The wave of sudden emotion, all dark and lost and emptiness filled his Spark meaning one thing; He had a connection with Witwicky's daughter, Skylar. It can't be..we only touched..he thought to himself and then it came to him; the Allspark energy. It lived in her, she contained the energy, and that energy chose him to be her guardian...my charge...
The holoform vanished in a blink and the semi-truck started its engine and slowly drove away from the house, Optimus in his own mind pondering about the extradionary feelings between him and Skylar. Then, interrupting his moment, Bee came from the comm. link that the Autobots used to communitcate without speaking. Optimus sighed and answerd Bee's incoming call.
.::Yes, Bumblebee?::.He questioned the young scout's call.
.::Optimus, sir..I couldn't help but notice that you seemed in a great deal of pain when you came out, did something go wrong?::.
Optimus was silent, not knowing to tell him the truth or just to hide his emotions like he has always done.
.::Optimus, are you alright::. The worried scout's voice came on the comm. link, snapping Prime out of his mind and decided, with a sigh, to tell Bumblebee the truth.
.::I..Sam's daughter came across mine and Mikeala's discussion.::.
Silence was greeted in the space between them, then Bee spoke with a nervous edge to his voice.
.::Does that mean she knows about us?::.
.::No Bumblebee, Sam would not want that.::.
Silence again.
.::Then..why were you uncomfortable when you left?::.
Prime inhaled a deep breath, and prepared himself for a reaction before he spoke. .::I think..the energy within Skylar had chosen me.::.
.::Chosen you?::.
.::Yes Bumblebee..as her guardian, and her as my charge::.
A long silence grew suddenly. Optimus knew that Bee was figuring out what he just said and he knew that there was going to be a big deal to be made out of this. After that, Bumblebee did not say anything as Optimus arrived at the NEST base and greeted by a certain human who waved at him as he started to approach him as Prime transformed into his bipedal form and greeted the human with a small grin. "Hello Sam." he said as the boy came over and grinned back.
"Hey Optimus! I heard you saw Mikeala today to discuss a few things.." Sam looked him in the eyes, worry growing within them. Optimus saw this and reassured him.
"Do not fear Sam, I have kept to my word and you get your freedom in the desicion not to let your daughter about our presence and the truth about herself."
Sam then relaxed and smiled back at Prime, "Thanks Optimus, it's just that I don't want to lose her; especially when she can be very useful to the Deceptions. And I am grateful that you understand." he finished then walked over to Bumblebee who was waiting to take him home.
Optimus then felt the tiniest bit of guilt in the pit of his tank as he watched Sam get in Bumblebee and drove away, not knowing of the unexpected relationship which had developed between his daughter and the leader of the Autobots in a matter of seconds. Oh Primus, what do I do? Optimus pleaded as he retired to his quiet workspace and went into a deep recharge to get rid of the guilty feeling.
Later that evening after Sam came home and Skylar and Mikeala both nearly murdered him with hugs, it was down to the time of dinner when Skylar feel the need to finally stand up to her parents and question them about the so-called 'secret' which was being kept from her. The family sat down and after a few minutes of small conversation and awkward silence, Skylar decided that now was time to find out.
I looked around the table, and at my parent's eyes. My own eyes narrowed; I just knew it. They were hiding something from me, and I have a right to find out everything. Maybe it will even answer my question to why I am so different to all the other girls my ages. I placed down my knife and fork, pushed my dinner slightly away and gave out a little cough which caught my father's attention which he rose an eyebrow and instantly knew there was something bothering me.
Mikeala noticed and looked up too, giving me a warning glance as if to say 'if you mention anything about what happened this afternoon, you are dead.' I smirked a little and amusingly thought to myself inside, 'So she hasn't told dad about the cause of events that occurred this afternoon...this is going to get interesting.' I rwithdrew myself from my thoughts and opened my mouth to speak,
"So dad, anything you have to tell me?" I gave a questioning look at him as I slowly observed his face go from normal to confused.
"What is that Spark? Have you got something to tell me?"
I rolled my eyes, feeling the slow rising of anger building up inside me. "You know what I mean very well. What is this big, huge important secret that I am not allowed to know about?"
His face suddenly turned shocked and worried, and he turned and pointed an accusing look at Mikeala which she noticed and protested with the words that she clearly did not think of.
"It was not my fault; she walked in on me and Optimus talking-" Suddenly stopping in the middle of her sentence and she realised what she said and slowly rose a hand and put it over her mouth as if to not say anymore. Sam slowly became very nervous, shocked and a hint of anger appearing on his face as he glanced from Mikeala to me then to her and back, me glaring at him as in to say, Tell me. The anger was rising faster now and I couldn't bear to wait any longer so I stood up aruptedly, knocking the chair over in the process, and banged my fist on the table as I very nearly yelled at my parents.
"Well!? Do you not think that I have a right to know what was going on? That I am so different to everyone else? Did you really think that I would've NOT WANTED TO KNOW?" My voice cracking with panic, tears and anger washed away my senses and suddenly I did not know what I even was anymore for a moment. I tipped over the table and proceeded towards my father who has fallen back, and he held up a hand to attempt to calm me. I narrowed my eyes at him as I felt the surge of energy flow through my veins.
Sam looked up at me with confusion and even fear displayed on his face..he was afraid, afraid of me..I paused, a sudden wave of emptiness overtaking, nearly knocking me out...but I wasn't going to let them get away with this; I deserve to find out that secret and why they were hiding it away from me, so I pushed the thoughts to the back of my mind and letting the angry energy take over once again. I shouted at them again, throwing back chairs and banging my fists on the walls.
"Why...must...I...not...KNOW!"
Mikeala gingerly stood up and tried to calm me, shhing and whispering to me but I took no notice. I deserve to know.
"Skylar..its for your own good! If we told you then danger would become an instant threat to you and we don't want to lose our Spark!"
"Your Spark? I am 15, I am old enough to take care of myself. I hate secrets. I hate lying. Especially when it is my own PARENTS LYING TO ME!" I screamed at them, hands above my head when the unreal happened.
An electric blue spark of strange energy exploded from the fingertips, hitting the ceiling and burning holes as it flowed through my body for a matter of seconds before it abruptly stopped and everything froze just as a handsome young man came bursting through the door with a gun..and aimed it at me. I stood there in shock and absolute horror as tears streamed down my face and I looked at the stranger and froze as in the 2 seconds, there was no movement, not even a breath lost as it felt like time had stopped.
Mikeala's hand was held over her mouth with shock as she looked at the stranger and stiffened. Sam, like he was, slowly stood up and walked out the door, cursing himself under his breath. And the stranger, he stiffened as what he was doing dawned upon him, and he threw the gun down and started to walk with caution towards me, those bright, bright crystal blue eyes, pleading with me, the sign of apology growing in them. He looked familiar, and when he spoke, the voice was calming.
"Spark..Sky..I am sorry, I did not know what I was-" He was cut off as I held up my hand to stop him come any further to me. With a painful cough, I cleared my sore thoart and spoke in the quietest tone so only he could hear me.
"I do not know you, I am sorry."
And suddenly turning away and ran outside the front door out into the darkness, the tears that had been building up inside me in the short period of time was let out, the shock dawning upon me as I crouched down against a wall and stayed still until I was calm. Then it came to me.
I cannot return home.
I don't want to hurt them again..I vowed to myself as I picked myself up and started to run towards a little footpath next to the highway, further and further away from home until the lights were just little specks in the distance. I wiped my eyes and kept going.
I kept running until blackness enveloped me, and I collapsed and gladly welcomed the emptiness as everything around me slowly faded into black..
