Chapter 5:Singing the pain away
It was late at night when I finally finished sorting the furniture in my room.
In the top right hand corner of my room I had placed my double bed. It had a white metal frame and the covers and pillows were a beige colour. Next to the bed was a cream wooden drawer filled with clothes that I had also brought.
My wardrobe, which came as a set with the drawer, I had placed on the opposite side of the room, facing my bed. I placed the round, fluffy white rug in the middle of the room, as it was quite big. The desk I put across from the door, so if you walked in and looked to the left, you would see it. On it was a laptop and tucked in was a white office chair. I was soo going to have fun with that.
Lastly a beautiful 14 inch Ficus tree, in a beige coloured pot, which I placed at the end of my bed. I was horrible al looking after plants, but I adore nature and the tree I brought didn't need watering often, only around once a fortnight (A/N: I have no idea if this is true or not, I just came up with it on the spot. (I didn't mean to rhyme either)).
I got my phone out to check the time. It read , I decided to go outside and get some fresh air.
The warehouse was eerily quiet and dark, but it didn't take me long to find the entrance. It was still very busy on the roads nearby so I decided to walk forward and sit on the concrete floor. It wasn't too cold, so I wouldn't fall ill if outside too long. I leaned back and closed my eyes, enjoying the breeze which was making my long hair go across my face. It was nice and peaceful until I heard metallic footsteps.
"And why are you out here?" The familiar voice said icily. I opened my eyes and turned to face him. He was glaring at me, as if hoping to pierce through my skin. Too bad, he can't.
"Because I want to be. Got a problem?" I retorted, narrowing my eyes. Prowl scowled.
"Yes, actually. SOME bots are trying to recharge!" He snapped. I placed my hands on my hips and cocked my head sideways.
"Then how comes only you is awake?" I questioned.
"Because someone needs to make sure you don't run off." Prowl said. I looked down to the ground. I had had enough.
"Who said I was going to run off? And why do you hate me, what have I done to you?" I half yelled. Ninja bot looked taken aback slightly before quickly regaining his composure.
"You are a reckless earthling that never listens to orders and is always thinking of yourself!" He growled. It was my turn to scowl. I then stood up and walked back inside, not replying to him.
Once I got into my room I showered, changed and went to bed.
(The next day)
I woke up to somebody jumping all over me. Groaning, I opened my eyes to see none other than Sari sitting on me, smiling.
"Morning sleepyhead." She greeted. I smirked and gently pushed her off of the bed. She made a small 'thud' and quickly got up to glare at me.
"What was that for?" She asked, pretending to be angry. I shrugged and shook my head.
"I have no idea, I was just bored." I replied lazily whilst sitting up and dangling my legs over the side of my bed. Sari started jumping up and down excitedly.
"Hurry up and get changed, we are going to the park, a singing contest is on today!" She exclaimed. I raised my eyebrow at her, but walked to my wardrobe anyway.
I picked out a black tank top with light blue jean shorts and went into the bathroom to change.
Once I finished I walked back over to Sari.
"Come on then, let's go!" I said. She giggled and we walked out to find Bumblebee. We found him in the main room.
"Hey 'Bee, can you take me and Aurora to the main Detroit park, please?" Sari pleaded, using the puppy dog look. I worked as the yellow bot transformed and drove up to us.
We clambered in and he sped off to mentioned place. I was quiet and blocking out the two talking as we eventually got to the park.
It was practically the same. Except from the stage in the middle. And the hundreds of people surrounding it. I was reluctant to get out of Bumblebee, but Sari dragged me out, and, to my horror, up to the stage. I struggled. I had to hand it to the little girl, she was strong.
Once on stage she rushed over to the manager and whispered into his ear. The bloke grinned and turned to me. I gulped and slowly walked over to him.
"Hi, im Zac Feego, you must be Aurora Hansen?" He said, holding his hand out to me. I nodded and shook his hand.
"So, what song would you like to sing?" Zac questioned, making my eyes widen. Looking around, I saw that there was no way out of this. I turned back to the man.
"I will sing someone's watching over me by Hilary Duff." I replied, and he nodded, walking over to the music player. The crowd started cheering when I went over to the microphone.
I took deep breaths and when the music came on, I started singing.
(A/N: Scroll to the next piece of bold if you wish to skip the lyrics)
Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I won't be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me
Someone's watching over me
(Okay, lyrics finished now)
My voice was shaking when singing the first verse; put I soon got into the beat and started swaying. It was my favourite song, and reminded me of my parents. I really connected with the song, and it explained what I was feeling, not to mention about my parents.
I belted out the last chorus and everyone started cheering and clapping like mad. I saw Sari sitting on 'Bees shoulder; both were punching the air and whooping. I was amazed that the crowd hadn't noticed him yet. I blushed slightly and bowed. I glimpsed at the tree and frowned again when I saw a flash of gold and black. The manager came over to me beaming.
"That was amazing, you have talent! Will you sing another song?" He said. I wasn't sure.
"MORE!" The crowd of people were shouting, encouraging me. Knowing I would be fighting a losing battle, I turned to Zac.
"Put on I am all of me by Crush 40." I stated. He looked shocked, but nodded. It was a really hard song to sing, but it was another one of my favourite songs. When the song came on a tapped my foot to the music and started to sing again.
(A/N: Bold Italic writing is not song lyrics and would be best to read)
I see no, hear no evil,
Black writings on the wall,
Unleashed a million faces,
And one by one they fall,
I was walking around on the stage, occasionally peeking at the tree I knew Prowl was in.
Black hearted evil, (Decepticons)
Brave hearted hero, (Autobots)
I am all, I am all, I am,
I am,
Here we go buddy,
Here we go buddy,
Here we go,
Here we go buddy,
Here we go,
Go ahead and try to see through me,
Do it if you dare,
One step forward, two steps back,
I'm here (One step forward, two steps back)
Do it... Do it... Do it... DO IT...
I looked down but my head snapped back up as I smoothly sang the chorus, dancing aswell.
Can you see all of me?
Walk into my mysteries?
Step inside and hold on for dear life,
Do you remember me?
Capture you, or set you free?
I am all, I am all of me
(I am all, I am all of me)
Sari and 'Bee were dancing poorly by now and the audience were going crazy, literally.
I am... I am, I'm all of me,
I am... I am, I'm all of me,
I am... I am, I'm all of me,
I see and feel the evil,
My hands will crush'em all,
You think you have the answer,
I laugh and watch you fall,
I walked to the edge of the stage and bent down.
Black hearted evil, (Decepticons)
Brave hearted hero, (Autobots)
I am all; I am all I am,
I am,
Here we go buddy,
Here we go buddy,
Here we go,
Here we go buddy,
Here we go,
All the past memories came flooding back to me as I continued to sing out.
Go ahead and try to see through me,
Do it if you dare,
One step forward two steps back,
I'm here, (One step forward, two steps back)
Do it... Do it... Do it... DO IT...
Can you see all of me?
Walk into my mysteries?
Step inside and hold on for dear life,
Do you remember me?
Capture you or set you free?
I am all, I am all of me,
(I am, I am all of me)
I put as much emotion into that chorus as I possibly could.
I am... I am, I'm all of me,
I am... I am, I'm all of me,
I am... I am, I'm all of me,
I am...
I am everyone, everywhere, anyhow, any way, any will, any day...
I am...
I am everyone, everywhere, anyhow, any way, any will, any day...
I am! I am! I am!
I am! I am! I am!
I am!
Do it... Do it... Do it... Do IT...
Can you see all of me?
Walk into my mysteries?
Step inside and hold on for dear life.
Do you remember me?
Capture you, or set you free?
I am all, I am all of me.
(I am, I am all of me!)
I am... I am, I'm all of me,
I am... I am, I'm all of me,
I am... I am, I'm all of me,
I am, I am, I'm all of me
(LYRICS OVER)
I bowed once the sound finished and got tackled down by Sari, who was shouting how amazing I was.
"I know." I smirked.
"Give it up for Aurora!" Zac exclaimed into the microphone, causing the crowd to jump up and down whilst cheering.
(Prowl's POV)
I was meditating in my room when I heard a 'thud'. It was small, but we have extremely sensitive hearing.
Groaning, I got up and walked out, praying it wasn't anything to do with Aurora. I didn't want to see her, because since I said what I did last night, I have been feeling…..guilty. I have no clue why, not even meditation can get rid of it.
I was just about to walk into the main room when Bumblebee sped out, my scanners informing me of two human life signals inside. I transformed and secretly followed them, turning my holoform on. Knowing Bumblebee, anything could happen.
After a while he stopped in front of the central park, and there were many organics crowding the area. I smirked when I saw Sari drag Aurora up onto the stage, and silently slipped up into a nearby tree, eager to watch.
Aurora didn't look very happy, especially when one of the males of her species came over to her. She then walked up to the 'microphone', as humans call it and took a deep breath and started talking, but it sounded oddly different, melodic than it usually is. I searched it up and found out that she was 'singing'.
It was new to me, so I listened intently, making no movements. I was curious, because all of a sudden I felt strange, almost as if I liked her singing. It was making me feel, dare I say, relaxed. I could tell that she was putting a lot of emotion into the song as she sung which made me wonder why. Is it something to do with her parents?
I took note that one of the 'lyrics' was "someone's watching over me" and that it was repeated constantly. I will have to question her later. If she lets me. I acted like a right glitch head towards her these past couple solarcycles.
When she stopped singing the humans watching started making loud noises with their vocal chords and hands.
"Fascinating." I breathed. The other male organic came up to her and she started tapping the ground with her foot. She then started singing again. The song sounded completely the opposite of the last song she sang, it was loud and she was moving more. I stopped dead as my eyes widened when she looked directly in my direction.
"Scrap." I muttered under my breath. I then resumed listening to her sing the lyrics to the song. If my audio receptors were working correctly, she sounded sad. I noted that the song lyrics fitted her perfectly, almost too perfectly.
I looked to the back and noticed Bumblebee and Sari jumping around, generally looking like complete glitchheads. I rolled my eyes. Typical. I then fixated my attention back on Aurora, who would glance in my direction every so often.
As the song ended she bowed and Sari run up and tackled her. I smirked, but decided to head back to base before the other three got there first.
(Aurora's POV)
"Come on, let's go back to base." I said, my voice going back into its usual cold state. Sari nodded and we walked to 'Bee, who had already transformed. His doors swung open and we hopped in. The radio started cackling and static came from it, before the 'bot spoke.
".AMAZING!" He exclaimed, speeding off. I smiled slightly.
"Thanks, glad you enjoyed it." I replied. Sari turned to me, confused. I sensed Bumblebees confusion so I told the pair.
"Prowl was there." 'Bee suddenly halted dead in the middle of the highway, causing my and Sari to lurch forward. I growled.
"What the hell was that for?"
"Oh, sorry, I just didn't expect him, of all 'bots, to be there, especially with all the loud noise." He apologized. Sari nodded and I shrugged.
"Beats me." Was all I said before settling into a comfortable silence.
Though, one question lingered on my mind and didn't seem to want to go away.
Did Prowl like my singing?
SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO UPDATE! All credit for the singing idea goes to pokemonjkl, who also suggested 'Someone's watching over me' by Hilary Duff.
The other song was I am all of me by Crush 40.
I hope that you enjoyed, please R&R!
