Sorry for the late update, I have no excuse other than adulting is hard!
Enjoy, reviews are love!
Bianca's head felt as though it were about to split open, and she groaned aloud as she slowly began to regain consciousness. Her body felt stiff, and when she tried to move, it was like moving a ton of bricks. Pausing, she attempted to pry open her eyes, which also seemed to be much heavier than she remembered. Her mouth was dry, feeling as though she hadn't had a drink for days and she did her best to wet her lips to no avail.
After a few more minutes she was finally able to coax her eyes open. The harsh light caused her head to pound even more than before and she sucked in a breath. The air was dusty and old, not at all what the Witwickey house was like. Looking around a wave of dizziness came over her, followed by nausea. Closing her eyes she waited for the feeling to pass before she slowly opened them once again. This time she moved a little slower, still waiting for her world to stop spinning.
She was laying on a small metal table, causing her back to ache. Carefully she moved to a sitting position and once again attempted to take in her surroundings. Her blood ran cold and a scream tore from her lips as she stared up at the sight before her. Sheets of thick, polished metal built up the beast that filled the deserted warehouse. Glowing red eyes peered down at her, and what appeared to be a mouth crammed full of jagged teeth sneered at her as she tried to scramble backwards, tumbling off of the table she previously lay on.
It's hand reached out and grabbed a hold of her roughly, and a gasp of pain cut her screams short as a solid 'snap' caused her eyes to well up with tears as pain blossomed in her side. The mix of fear and pain was overwhelming and her mind raced for an explanation of what was happening.
"You flesh bags disgust me, so pathetic and weak," as if to emphasize his point another pang of pain shot through her as she felt another rib crack. Another scream bubbled up and she cried out, clenching her eyes shut. It's voice grated on her ears, the metallic sound sending shivers up her spine. The hand's grip on her tightened even more and began to shake her violently causing her scream to cut off as the bot gave her whiplash for the second time in past couple of months.
"Enough! You're vocal processors annoy me!" He commanded giving her one final good shake. A third solid crack sounded and Bianca did her best to take small breaths as anything bigger than that caused her side to flare up in pain.
"Please, just tell me what you want," she begged. She didn't understand what was happening, nor did she know when her life turned into a sci fi movie. The creature leered at her, bringing her even closer to it's face. She did her best to pull away, albeit it wasn't very successful.
"You cousin, Sam Witwicky has something I want, something I need. You're just here as collateral to make sure he doesn't make any, rash decisions." He cooed in a voice that she was sure would haunt her dreams for many nights to come.
"Sam?" She asked, unsure of what he had to do with these monsters, or what he could possibly offer them. The creature ignored her though, his attention switching to the ceiling of the old warehouse. Bianca followed his gaze, the whirring of a helicopter slowly getting closer and closer to their location.
"Right on time," he grunted. Moments later she gasped as a car crashed through the ceiling, multiple screams sounding from within it as it smashed into the ground below. The helicopter followed the car, entering the building from the hole in the ceiling it created, before transforming into a beast much like the one that was currently holding her hostage.
The second monsters hand turned into a saw and it took it to the car, effectively cutting it in half. A familiar scream rang in her ears and she cried out for her cousin as he stumbled out of the now destroyed car. The presence of someone she knew gave her a small sense of relief, glad that she was no longer alone. A girl crawled out of the car behind Sam, and Bianca could only assume she was his girlfriend, though it kind of surprised her considering she seemed to be a bit out of his league. A third person picked up the rear, a boy who looked about frantically, muttering to himself.
"Bia," Sam called to her, his heart sinking in his chest as he looked upon the sight before him. His cousin was firmly grasped in the claw like hand that belonged to the once deceased Decepticon leader.
"Megatron,"Bianca watched as her cousins face continued to twist and contort in fear and she felt her heart pound harder against her chest, this was bad.
"Come here boy," Megatron demanded, and Sam obeyed holding his hands up in surrender as he went. "Closer," he barked.
"Sam, what's happening. What did you do?" Bianca cried out. "Help me, please" she begged.
"I'll do whatever you say OK, just let them go, let Bia-" He couldn't finish his sentence as Megatron's free hand swept out, knocking the boy from the stairs and to the ground below.
"Sam!" two female voices cried out. Bianca struggled harder against the giant robots grip, "Sam, Please stop it. Sam!" she sobbed.
This all had to be a dream, she clenched her eyes shut tightly. That was it, this was a dream, all of it was a dream caused by too much sugar and a scary movie before bed. Any minute she would wake up and be back in her bed in Texas. Her mom would be in the kitchen making breakfast and her dad would be in his shed tinkering with his latest project. She clenched her teeth, and bit down on the inside of her cheek since she couldn't pinch herself. She WOULD wake up from this dream; when she did wake up she would be back in the sky blue sheets that had been spotted with stains from midnight snacks and miscalculations of nail polish.
Try as she might though she couldn't wake herself from this nightmare, all she succeeded in doing was cause her mouth to bleed, the metallic taste making her grimace. She could hear Sam's protest echo through the warehouse and she gave up trying, slowly letting her eyes open once again to the scene unfolding before her. Sam was now pinned down on a small slab of concrete and the claw that held her was only a couple feet away from him.
"It feels good to hold your flesh, I am going to kill you slowly, painfully. First, I may make you watch as I kill the girl." He thrust Bia directly in front of Sam, if her arms were free from his grasp she could have reached out and touched him.
"Sam, what's going on. First your car was possessed and now this, I don't understand." she bawled, before he could answer though she was pulled away from him. Sam screamed in protest, struggling violently.
"Now I need something from you boy. Doctor, examine the specimen." Megatron growled. A small spidery bot slithered its way onto his chest and began to mutter excitedly as it poked and prodded Sam's face. Bianca couldn't understand a word of it, the accent different from the normal Spanish ones back home. She gagged as another robot was dropped into his mouth, its tendrils snaking back out through his nose. After a moment of Sam gagging on the snake like creature it made it's way back out. The spidery bot gabbing ahold of it and examining it before it began to mutter again. Sam seemed to follow the creatures mutterings however as he repeated one word back.
"Brain?" He stammered, struggle increasing and Megatron leered down at him.
"You have something on your mind, let me take care of it for you" he sneered. Sam began to scream as a small saw extended from the bots wrist and moved towards his forehead.
"Sam!" Bianca screamed, thrashing wildly against her captors grip;ignoring the pain in her side she did her best to break free.
A resounding crash sounded and shook the building and Megatron let out a roar as two new robots crashed into the building, guns blazing. With this new distraction Sam was able to roll off the table and put some distance between him and Megatron. He turned around to try and figure out a way to safely extract Bianca from the Cons grip. His eyes widened as he watched in horror as her captor tossed the girl aside, attention now locked on Optimus Prime.
"Bumblebee!"Sam cried, pointing to the girl who was now flying through the air. The yellow bot paused his assault on Starscream, following Sam's gaze, optics widening. Sending one final plasma blast at the Decepticons chest Bumblebee sprung forward, leaping for the girl who was hurtling towards the ground.
Air whipped through her hair, and she flailed hopeless as she was sent careening through the air. Her mouth was open in a scream as she watched the ground get closer and closer with every second. She was going to end up as a stain against the cold unforgiving concrete beneath her. Maybe it was a fluke that she made it out of that car accident alive, maybe this was the universe's way of correcting its mistake.
As she fell she caught a blur of movement out of the corner of her eye and she did her best to turn and see what was happening. Her brown eyes locked onto a pair of ice blue ones that were soaring towards her. A flash of recognition crossed her mind, the familiar yellow and black paint job jogging her memory. Reaching out to him her fear of giant robots was momentarily replaced by the fear of falling to her death.
Bumblebee snatched her from the air, hands forming a protective cocoon around her and pulling her to his chest as he crashed through the wall of the warehouse, tumbling to try and reduce impact. Bianca screamed as she was jostled around roughly, causing her ribs to sear in protest and Bumblebee winced, doing his best to try and smooth out the fall for her sake.
As he skidded to a halt he gingerly opened the small fortress his hands made to see two small, startled eyes staring back at him. Whirring softly he leaned down to take her in, bruising covered the exposed parts of her body and she clutched her side in pain as she lay crumpled in a ball. Tears left streaks in the dirt that covered her cheeks and small scrapes decorated her arms and legs.
Knowing time was of the essence Bee quickly, but gently, set her on the ground and transformed into his alternate mode, popping his driver side door open for her. After a moment of hesitation she stumbled into his interior.
He slammed the door shut behind her and snapped on her seatbelt before spinning around and taking off, meeting up with Mikaela and the new kid who was babbling incoherently.
They hurled themselves into his open doors and he took off once again to rally with the rest of the Autobots. Whirring softly through the radio he couldn't help but worry about his newest charge as she sobbed into the seat. She had curled in on herself and clutched her left side as every panting breath she took sent a fresh surge of tears to her eyes.
"Bianca, look at me, Bianca," Mikaela called to her from her seat on the passenger side. She gently reached out and rested a hand on the girls chin, turning it so she would look at her. "My name is Mikaela, I am Sam's girlfriend, Bianca-"
"What the hell is happening!" she all but screamed at the brunette. "This is crazy, giant robots, Sam's brain, car chases? What is wrong with you people, why are you not freaking out!" she spat in the pretty girl's solemn face. Bumblebee took a curve a little too hard, jostling Bia's body and irritating her throbbing side, causing her to yelp in pain. Mikaela scolded him, begging him to smooth out the ride, he chirped in apology.
Bianca pulled her shirt up slowly, revealing the ugly bruise that blossomed from her side and wrapped around her torso.
"She needs a hospital," Mikaela stated out loud staring wide eyed at the purple bruise that seemed to grow before her eyes.
Static filled the car before another voice echoed throughout the car.
"Mikaela, what's wrong?"
"Ratchet, they took Sam's cousin and I think a few of her ribs are broken, we need to get her to a hospital," she answered, speaking into the radio.
"We will get her medical attention as soon as possible, but right now we must help Optimus. Ratchet out." And with that the car fell silent again, save for the roar of Bumblebee's engine and the squeal of tires as he sped through the streets, making his way out of town.
"Alright Bianca, I need you to try and take slow deep breaths ok? You're going to be ok, we'll get you help," Mikaela soothed, brushing her fingers through the younger girls tangled hair that stuck to her tear stained face.
"How are you so damn calm?" Bia accused staring incredulously at the girl who stared back silently. "What is going on? First this thing practically kidnaps me when I try to go for a drive," Bumblebee whirred in protest, ready to remind her that it wasn't just 'a drive' rather a suicide mission, but she ignored him "Then I am literally drugged and kidnapped, next thing I know I'm a hundred feet off the ground being held by a giant alien robot talking about taking Sam's brain. Why am I the only one freaking out! Oh and to top it off I'm now back in said devil car!" Mikaela sighed, running a hand through her hair but was saved needing to come up with a quick answer when the sound of gun fire and screeching metal drew every ones attention outside.
Looking out the window the three teens mouths dropped as the sight of the war zone of giant robots met their gazes and a ruffled Sam came sprinting towards the car from the battlefield. He slid in next to Mikaela who quickly shifted into his lap. As soon as the door shut Bumblebee sped off, leaving the fighting behind him.
