"Is she ready?"
"Yes, she has surprised us all by how far she has come over the last few years."
"Indeed."
"But why, is the question"
"No, my children, it is when and how."
"What ever do you mean?"
"She has come very far as one of you brothers has said but within time, she will be granted it. However that two is we do not yet know is how and when..."

I was cuddled up with Bumblebee in the back seat of his alt-mode. Bee was already sleeping and I was almost there when Sam came running over and yelled: "Nora! Bumblebee!"
Bee jolted awake, he groaned and lay back down, "Piss off, Sam."
The black haired male glared slightly, "Come on, I know what the riddle means," with that Sam ran back into the building. I sighed and sat up while rubbing my eyes. I felt Bee sit up also, he placed a kiss just under my ear and I hummed.
"Some times I really want to strangle Sam." Bumblebee growled lowly.
I snorted a laugh.
I smiled and pecked his lips, "Come one, this is important," so with that we both got out and walked hand in hand to where the others were."
"Simmons! Leo! Wake up!" Sam shouted once we reached the place they'd been sleeping. Sam before either could reply started speaking again," Listen, astronomy class, page 47. Remember the class?"
"No. No, I was only in college for two days. Remember that?" Leo shock his head as he snapped.
"Here. Get up. Up, up." Sam told them.
"What is he talking about?" Simmons looked to Bumblebee and myself. I shrugged, but followed Sam as did everyone else to to roof.
"Okay, you see those three stars? You see how the last one touches the horizon?" Sam asked
"That's Orion's belt," I said raising a brow but it clicked into place, "But it's also called the Three Kings!" I pointed as I spoke.
"The reason for that is the three Egyptian kings who built the pyramids of Giza built them to mirror those stars. It's like an arrow staring us straight in the face." I said in realisation.
Simmons nodded and pointed as I had, "They all point due east, towards Jordan. The mountains of Petra."
We all looked to one another before I spoke again, "Then lets go, we don't know how much time we have left."
Within a few minutes we were back in Bee's alt-mode and on the road with the twins behind us. As normal I was in the drivers seat.
We got out of Bee and stood, I blocked the sun from my eyes and I walked in front of everyone, Simmons speaking after a few moments, "Got to be around here somewhere. I-" He paused when he noticed the old building Sam and I were staring at.
Okay, I'm admitting it, I was always a sucker for old runes such as this. I stared at it in awe. It was a large building like monument, beautiful. It was built out of stone and had pillars and other pieces carved into it.
"You see the size of this? You see this? Huh?" Simmons said as we walked towards it.
I ignored Skids and Simmons, running towards the large doorway. Bumblebee stood outside as a guard. I closed my eyes when I saw that there was nothing there. No tomb and no key. Nothing but an old drawing on the wall.
I glanced over to Sam as he spoke, "It's here somewhere, guys."
"Yeah, why? 'Cause, uh, we're trusting grandpa blackbird who doesn't even know what planet he's on?" Leo sarcastically asked.
Simmons commenting with, "In his defence, this is the biggest doorway I've ever seen in my entire life."
"Oh. Okay. Well, that's great. Let me do a quick search, all right? Uh... Nope." Leo said, turning around pretending to look for something. I sat down by the painting with Sam who held his head in his hands. "Ever cross your mind, guys, that archaeologists have been here before? There's nothing here." Leo exclaimed. Simmons turning and glared, stepping towards him.
"Real life is heartbreak, despair, kid. Sometimes you get to the end of the rainbow and the leprechauns went and booby-trapped it!" Simmons shouted.
"Why am I listening to you? You live with your mother!" Leo snapped back to the older man.
"It's not over." Sam said looking up.
"It is over. It's done." Leo glared at Sam as he spoke.
We all stood and went to exit, the twins going first but when I reached the doorway, I began to hear whispering, muttering. It filled my mind, it wasn't English, no, it was cybertronian. I stopped and looked over my shoulder before turning my whole body. I ignored the twins as they fought.
"Nora?" I heard Mikaela but I also ignored her. She must have noticed I began to walk back in, "Nora!"
"Can't you hear the voices?" I asked quietly.
I stopped at the painting and the whispering became louder, I shifted and placed my ear on the painting.
"Come."
"Find us."
"Come, Chosen, find us."
It continued, I stepped back and glared before cocking my fist back, I was going to hate myself for doing this, and punched the wall. My fist went through and so did some of my arm. I heard a collection of gasps in the room and the whispering suddenly stopped.
Sam ran over as I stepped back, Bee whirled and I smiled back at him. There, behind the wall was a metal hand and on them was the language of the Primes.
"Oh my God." Sam whispered, looking over to me, "The symbols... Bee! Shoot it."
Bumblebee climbed in and we all moved away from the painting, I stood just off from where Bee was stood. His cannon formed and he shot, creating a larger hole. With was big enough for us humans to fit in.
I knelt down next to it before slowly climbing inside. Being careful not to touch anything in fear I would cause some damage.
To be so willing to give their lives to hide a key, I smiled. I looked around in awe, they looked different from what I thought they would have but also in a way the did.
"Wow!" Simmons muttered as he walked in.
"These are the bodies Jetfire was talking about." Sam said.
"The tomb of the Primes." Simmons said in amazement.
Leo shouted and his voice echoed around, I smack him round the head, "Don't, that's disrespect. This is the resting place of six of the most well know Primes to exist." Leo held in hands up in a 'I give up' pose.
"Nora, look at this." Sam called, I turned and walked over to him and Mikaela. I saw them kneeling around on of the Primes' hands and inside was a sharp and skeletal looking things.
"The Matrix!" I said in awe, my eyes widening at the sight of it. We'd found the Key! We could being Dad back! Sam leaned forwards and lifted the Matrix higher but it suddenly started to disintegrate into sand. I looked down at it tears filling my eyes.
"No- No. No... no." Sam mumbled out in shock.
"Thousands of years, turned to dust." Simmons whispered. I fell backwards and leaned against one of the Primes, my head fell into my hands.
"This isn't how it's supposed to end." I barely whispered, my voice cracking as I did. The sound of planes came form above and Simmons and Leo ran out to see what it was. The tears slipped down my cheeks as realisation seemed to hit me like a train, we couldn't bring my father back. I then mentally slapped myself. No. We can still do this. It's not over, not after everything. I sat up and looked down at the sand.
"There's got to be a way." I mumbled.
"You can't bring him back, Nora. There's nothing left." Mikaela said gently. I looked to her in frustration.
I through my arms out as I yelled, ignoring what I had told Leo moments before, "Look! Look around you. We didn't just go through everything we went through for no reason at all, and to just have it end like this." I shouted making Mikaela and Sam look at me in shock, "There is a reason that we are here. The voices and the symbols in our heads led us here for a purpose, Sam." I then pulled off my shoe then my sock before throwing it to Sam, who started collecting the Sand.
"Everyone's after us because of what we know, and what I know is that this is going to work." I said in determination.
"How do you know it's gonna work?" Mikaela asked.
I turned to Mikaela, with a firm stare as I replied, "Because I in believe it."
