Chapter 3

The Nightmare

The next morning Patricia woke up and found herself in her room. She looked at the clock and saw it was noon time. She stretched and let out a yawn. She slowly climbed out of bed getting a dizzy spell as she did so. She slumped down the stairs still a little tired from the night before. She walked in the kitchen and found a note on the table. She read the note that said they went to see the autobots.

She sighed and grabbed herself a milk carton and took out a glass. She poured the milk into her glass and sipped it as she walked downstairs. She heard laughing and jokes being told. When her feet touched the floor one of the Autobots said, "We have a new comer."

Everyone was quiet and Alexis and Rad walked over to their daughter who was walking slowly towards everyone. Optimus looked down at Patricia seeing she was only half awake. She was walking slowly and barely had her eyes opened.

"Why are you up? We'd thought you'd sleep more." said Alexis.

"I saw it was 12:00 and thought I'd get up. Besides the Autobots are here and I didn't want to keep them waiting." she replied.

Optimus laid out a hand for Patricia to climb into. She carefully did so trying not to spill her milk. Optimus held her in his hand and as the rest of the Autobots and their human friends talked they talked amongst themselves.

"You know Patricia you need sleep. You had surgery and you need to rest your brain." he whispered.

"I know." she replied.

She slowly got up and started walking around in his palm and leaned against his thumb. She looked up at Optimus and he could see something was bothering her.

"What's the matter Patricia?" he asked softly.

Patricia looked up at him with tears in her eyes about to spill down her cheeks.

"I had a dream last night and that was all." she whispered.

Optimus studied her and noticed it wasn't just a dream or else she wouldn't be acting like this.

"What was the dream about?" he asked.

Patricia looked at him and said, "It's nothing."

"Patricia I would like to know what you dreamt about. I want to make sure you're okay, and I can't do that if you're keeping yourself isolated from me." he replied softly.

Patricia turned her head from him and said, "I think I'm going to go back to bed now."

Patricia didn't want to tell anyone about her dream, it was too real for her to handle. She was scared that her dream was going to come true. Optimus slowly put his hand down on the ground and she slowly got off. She walked past everyone quietly and walked up the stairs. Optimus watched her and knew something was different about the dream she had.

Patricia got back into her bed and fell asleep again. The same dream replayed in her head over and over. She saw she had cancer again and the doctors were sorry they didn't get all of the cancer out and she was going to die within 2 months. Slowly her eye sight faded and she couldn't see. She was scared. Next thing she saw was she was lying in Optimus's hands whispering and slowly dying. She could hear her heart growing faint, slowly, beating slowly until…there was no more.

Patricia shot up from her bed covered in sweat from her nightmare. She was afraid that her dream would come true. She didn't want it to come true at all, but it was a possibility. She knew it was a possibility and hoped that the possibility would never happen. She looked at the clock again and it was 4:00. She had slept for four hours and hadn't woken up.

She moaned and slowly put on some decent clothes. She brushed her hair and teeth and made her way back down the stairs. She walked back down to see the transformers again. When she made it to the last step Optimus wrapped his hand around her waist and picked her up.

"Okay Patricia, something is bothering you and I want to help you if you will just tell me what's the matter." he said.

Patricia knew she couldn't get away from him this time and sighed and whispered, "Could we not talk here?"

Optimus nodded, and set Patricia down and transformed. He opened his cab door and she climbed in. The driveway became slanted again like the night before and they drove out. Patricia sighed trying to hold back her tears.

"Now what's the matter?" he asked when they were out of her town.

Patricia took in a deep breath and said, "I've been having this nightmare playing over and over in my head and I can't stop it."

"What is it about?" he asked.

"In my nightmare I have cancer throughout my brain now. They doctors didn't get a piece and it spread. They say I only have 2 months to live and a few days later my eye sight goes away and I'm blind. I try making my way around things, but I have to just sit around and hardly do anything. The next thing that happens I'm slowly dying. My heart is beating slower and slower until it stops beating completely." she whispered letting her tears fall.

Optimus was stunned. The dream she started having is now affecting her now. Her dream may come true, but he didn't want that to happen. She was still a child and he just couldn't see her die at a young age. Plus her parents would be sad probably forever.

"It is a dream Patricia. I don't want you to worry about that okay. You have a long life ahead of you and you are going to die old, not young." he replied.

"Optimus…please don't tell anyone about this." she whispered, "I don't want them to worry or anything."

"I promise." he whispered.

Patricia was still worried about her dreams. They may come true because some have come true in the past. She shuttered about her dream again and Optimus suddenly stopped and said, "I don't want you to worry about anything okay?"

"Okay." she replied.

She stepped out of Optimus and walked around a little bit. Optimus transformed and stood up looking around. They were near a forest so no one could see him or hear them. Of course the wildlife would scatter when they heard or saw him coming. Patricia walked ahead of Optimus and listened to the wildlife. The birds were singing and you could hear running water in a distance.

She sighed finally getting her mind off of that dream she had been having. Optimus started walking behind her and watching where he stepped making sure he wouldn't step on his little organic friend. He had known her parents were strong and did everything they could when they were younger, but Patricia was a fighter. None of her parents had to fight cancer.

She was tougher than her parents and she was going to fight off anything that came at her way. Soon after a while of walking through brush they came upon a small lake with a waterfall. Patricia took off her shoes and dipped her feet in the cold water.

"Geez that's cold." she exclaimed.

Optimus chuckled and thought he'd have some fun with Patricia. He scooped up some water from the lake and dribbled it on Patricia.

"Hey!" she exclaimed jumping up from where she was sitting, "That's cold!"

Optimus couldn't help but laugh at her reaction. She started splashing Optimus back with the water which he quickly blocked from hitting his face.

"That's not right! You are like 10 times larger than me and I can't hit your face with this cold water! No using hands." she shouted.

Suddenly she lost her balance and fell directly in the cold water. Optimus couldn't help but laugh at this. Patricia shot up out of the water screaming from the cold water and hopped out. She walked over to Optimus and felt his leg was warm. She tried getting herself warm from it. Optimus saw this and picked her up and held her to his chest and started warming her up.

"I think it's time to go." he said.

"You think?" she retorted, "Oh I'm going to get you wet."

"I've been wet before Patricia." he said.

He put her down and transformed into his vehicle mode and Patricia hopped in. Together they rode back to they house.
