Chapter Four- The Glasses
Emma awoke with a jerk as they pulled into their drive way, feeling the vehicle come to a slow stop. The girl poked her head over the back seat and glance at the clock radio. Seeing the time on the clock, she shoved past Sam. She was outside, across the lawn, and through the door before Sam was out of the car.
Of course, she had also run at breakneck speed, and, once inside, had grabbed Sam's bag on the kitchen table. Riffling through the contents, she found the glass's case and pocketed them. After a quick glance to make sure Sam hadn't seen her in his bag, Emma slipped upstairs entering her room where she threw open the window with a grin.
Making sure the windowsill was sturdy, the silent sister edged onto it a little. From her perch, she looked down to see Sam talking with some unseen figure who, most likely, was their father. Clinging to the window, she swung her legs over the windowsill so she was sitting comfortably on the sill.
Once Sam was inside, she looked up and motioned for the Autobots. She wasn't too surprised to find that it was Ratchet that got to her first. He really seemed a little too curious about her 'condition' then she would have liked. Yet, she eased herself onto his hand. Once her footing was secure, the Silent One pointed to Sam's window. Ratchet turned his head in a questioning way for a moment, before he held her near the ledge, where she silently entered Sam's room.
There was an explosion of moving air when Sam rushed into his room, slamming open his door, yet Emma merely grinned in triumph from her windowsill seat while he glared at her. "Not funny sis!" he snapped at her, even though he knew she hadn't caught what he said. After throwing her one more quick glare, Sam started to search through his things.
Now, Emma usually didn't do sinister things like this, though right now, she didn't feel like being helpful. So, even though she had the glasses in her pocket, she didn't tell him. Sitting down on the computer chair, she watched as Mikaela came through the window as well, putting her purse next to Emma.
"Stupid humans! Don't even see me!"
The voice had seemingly echoed through Emma herself, and she looked around. Yet, she didn't find the harbored of the voice.
'Where did that come from?' she thought, after giving up her search for the voice in order to watch her entrainment. Emma smiled as she watched Sam run around like a chicken with his head cut off.
After a few minutes of panicking, Sam went to the window in order to talk with one of the Autobots. Emma paid the conversation no mind as she leaned back, eyes closed. After only a moment or two of false relaxation, did Emma leap out of her chair. The house had started to shake! Emma quickly dove under the desk, pulling the chair in front of her.
The Silent Child knew what was happening, and she was relieved she couldn't hear. Once their parents had broken into Sam's room and had finished their discussion, one that had Sam turning red, and another 'aftershock' was finished, did Emma came out in order to follow Sam downstairs.
The small group had been downstairs for awhile until Sam turned to Emma, with a furious look on his face. Had he figured it out? Perhaps, considering that fact that he had quickly held out his hand towards her, twitching his fingers slightly.
"What do you want Sam?" Emma signed, her hands fluttering around with perfect precision.
"The glasses Emma!" Sam exclaimed, and Emma looked thoughtful.
Giving a shrug of her shoulders, the silent sister gave in and pulled the glasses out of her pocket with a look that clearly said, 'what, these glasses?'
Sam snatched them from her, and took them out of their case before placing them in his own pocket. Emma rolled her eyes slightly, and then grinned, hugging Sam in a silent apology. The older brother sighed, and shook his head. Little sisters, he thought in accepting tolerance.
"Does she do that often?" Mikaela asked, coming downstairs.
"Hide stuff and not tell me? Not really; just every once in awhile. I don't know how she knew I was going to look for the gla-...oh. She didn't know. She wanted to keep the glasses for herself. She's always been attached to them," Sam stated, and gently pushed Emma away.
She pouted at the rejection, and left the kitchen, leaving through the front door. It was then that a voice shouted, "Hide!"
Emma gripped her head in silent pain; it felt like gears were grinding through her skull. Looking up, she found out why as she watched a man in a suit pranced onto their lawn and then, without even an invitation, walk into the house! Immediately, Emma knew something was wrong. Plus; this guy had some horrible manners!
The little sister quickly dodged into the house to see what was happening. When she entered, the un-welcomed house guest was speaking. His mouth moved rather quickly, and his head jerked a lot, like he was twitching constantly. This man's strange nature frightened the younger girl, causing her to back up into Sam. It was then, that the stranger noticed her. He quickly pointed at her, and then a little over her shoulder.
Slowly, she walked forward because of the gesture, but quickly changed her mind, once again hiding behind Sam. The action didn't stop one of the guys in black from grabbing her arm. In instinct, she started fighting him, frightened. She was so frightened, in fact, that she didn't even notice when a blue spark left her hand and hit the guy in the arm. The man in black released her from a combination of surprise and pain.
That alone didn't save Emma. Two different sets of arms then grabbed her from behind, dragging her outside. She fought them both so harshly that she gained a new bruise, though both of them did too of course. Yet, despite her struggles, they still threw her into a black car where she crashed into Sam.
Slowly, probably because she hit her head, Emma was pulled backward into a lull as the car drove along. They drove in slight silence, until the car turned in a violent, rocking motion. It was then that Emma's eyes snapped open, and she screamed. In fact, the blood curdling shriek of terror caused the driver to slam on his breaks, the car screeching to a halt.
"Emma! Damn it!" Sam shouted, as he tried to cover his ears despite his handcuffs.
Yet, nothing was able to calm her down, until Sam was able to look down at her. Seeing her brother's face, Emma calmed down instantly, shuddering a little. After it was apparent that she had calmed down, the car started moving again, the driver shaking a little. Only, Emma couldn't really relax. Her mind was fizzing, like an electric current.
Suddenly, another scream tore from the girl's throat when two giant robot hands grabbed the van, lifting it off the ground. 'Scratch earlier! This is the scariest moment of my adolescent life!' she thought.
Emma was shivering when the car finally landed, hard. It was then that she saw Optimus Prime. The lifting sensation happened once more, and she found herself in one of Ironhide's hands while his other hand had somehow turned into a giant gun. The Silent One found herself staring at the new appendage, eyes wide.
On the ground, people ran around like a bunch of rats, yet, soon there wasn't a mob of panicking people. In fact, they were in a long line, something attached to their wrists which connected them like lines on the Golden Gate Bridge. Slowly, after throwing Ironhide a pleading look, Emma descended. She quickly walked off, shaking.
Sam quickly noticed his sister's retreat though, and dragged her backwards into Optimus' hand. Holding onto the small group, which consisted of Emma, Sam and Mikaela; Optimus began running, making Emma cling tighter. She had no idea it would turn out this bad for her, especially since her mind was trying to get over the fight-or-flight instinct.
Suddenly, there was a flurry of metal and before Emma knew it, Optimus was balanced under a bridge. That was fine and dandy, but Emma found that she was slipping. No, correction, she let go of Mikaela and started to fall. The Silent Child's arm flared in pain as Mikaela quickly grabbed it; only for Mikaela to start falling herself.
Sam, of course, grabbed for them as well and that's when they all fell. Emma missed Optimus' foot by inches, only to be caught by giant robot hands. Emma's head snapped painfully from the sudden jolt when they landed. It took her a few dizzying moment before she saw it was Bumblebee that had saved them and quickly clung to his neck, burying herself into his neck cables as much as she could.
Yet, since she had her face buried, Emma didn't see the men in black with their packs, but she did feel them. There was a sudden burst of cold and it was then she noticed that Bumblebee was warm, and she buried herself tighter into his neck.
Shivering, she barely noticed when she was pulled off by two men, and put into a separate truck than her brother. "You positive she's the one?" one guy asked.
"We have her on our security cameras from two years ago. I'm positive. Get them out of here!" another answered, and Emma found herself being transported with Bumblebee. Sadly, the Silent Child couldn't hold on, and fell unconscious, Allie waiting for her.
"Those no good, evil Sector Seven!" Allie ranted, blue electricity crackling around her.
"Allie, you're scaring me," Emma whimpered as she became aware of her surroundings.
Allie smiled weakly and nodded. "Right. Besides, it's time for your history lesson," the mother stated, and the Silent Child agreed with a nod of her head.
Surrounding her was a room which had Optimus and Megatron arguing in it. "Megatron, what is wrong with you?" Optimus shouted.
"You are what's wrong with me! You are a pacifist, and don't have what it takes to lead these people!" Megatron snarled.
It faded a little, until she could only see them fighting. "The argument was the first of many that lead to a full out war. It was Megatron, with the Decepticons, who broke off, but it was Optimus that started it. Well, after Megatron tried to remove me from my place on Cybertron that is," Allie stated.
"How did you leave?" Emma asked.
"A group of femmes, from both sides, shot me off the planet. You see, femmes have a stronger connection to me then mechs. Mainly because we both create life, we both love. Femmes joined the war afterward, until Optimus sent them to a safe haven. Many femmes did; the rest stayed and fought. That's all I know really. Once I left, I had little connection to the planet itself. The occupants, yes; the planet, no. Many Transformers died. Many, then the death lulled, to where it the mortality rate wasn't so high, when Megatron crashed here. Your grandfather found him," Allie stated.
"Wonderful. My grandfather found an evil overlord who wants to kill us!" Emma stated sarcastically.
Before Allie could reply, Emma screamed in pain. Her whole body felt like it was on fire, and she couldn't hear. The pain dragged her painfully awake.
When her eyes opened, she saw a lab, and she let out a scream, because she was the center of it.
End Chapter
Elita One- Yes, yes they do. That happened on accident though, since my imagination would write it's own stories...if it had hands.
Hermonie- Thanks, and I'll try!
Midnight Arising- Ha! I'm safe! And I'm hurrying as quickly as I can.
Moonlight Eagle- Wow! So many compliments! Thank you for reading!
'HURRICANE'Hannah- All right, I will. I loved that scene too.
Blood Shifter- No, she didn't get to meet Jazz. Maybe later, maybe not. Jazz didn't really get to know any of the kids, so if he gets to know Emma, it would be odd.
Blue Phoenix Shinju- Thank you, and I'll tell P.A.W.07
Jen- Thanks Jen! I didn't get the review till the glasses were found, but you helped with a later chapter! Thanks!
Soaringphoenix86- Ratchet didn't devlop a soft spot, only a medical curiosity. No Transformer is deaf. Ironhide; you will have to read to find out. Same with Starscream, because if I told you, it would ruin the surprise! Besides, it's also to point out Starscream's change in personality from scientist to power hungry idiot. That's all I'll tell you. Nothing else.
