Terrwyn lay on her bed that evening, chatting with some of her friends while still searching the web for anything that could help her. So far, she found out about people thinking the robots are aliens, and that they come to destroy the planet. They also think that a few good ones are trying to protect. The Mission City incident had been their doing as well. Short videos were the prove of that.
She sighed, seeing she just didn't know what they were and what they had come to do. Why would a robot be her father's top clients? How was that possible? And would they be the kind ones then? The ones that were protecting? It just made no sense.
Her cellphone rang, making Terrwyn snap out of her thoughts. Quickly she grabbed it and answered the call: "Hello?"
"Sweetheart, it's me." Her father's voice said as serious as ever.
"Yeah, what is it?"
"I won't be coming home tonight seeing I have to work." He sounded like he was in a rush, so she made her reply short:
"Oh, okay... see ya tomorrow, I hope."
After he said bye as well and hang up, the girl sighed.
Terrwyn p.o.v.
It's been an hour since my dad called, and well... the house is silent and creepy. Normally I wouldn't mind being alone, yet now I'm aware of the robots living here I just don't feel the same. The saying "ignorance is bliss" is so true... and I wish I had never sneaked out of the house last night. For the first time ever I'm feeling remorse for my action.
I sigh and use my fingers to get my bangs out of my face. What to do now? I could simply live life like nothing happened... sheesh, that'd be wonderful. Yet I know that it's impossible now. My curiosity would never allow it anyway. It's like my demon sometimes.
All of a sudden I hear a loud knock on my door.
"Enter?" I've got no idea who it could be... the chicken wouldn't knock, I guess. He didn't do so earlier today.
A male opens my door, one of the guards, it seems. I recognize the clothes.
With a curious face I look at him, "Yes?"
He clears his throat, "There's a police officer outside who wants to speak with you, miss Gould."
"You can let him in the house, then I'll meet him in the living room." I state, not really wanting to deal with this right now. What does the officer want to tell me anyway? To not sneak in your own house at night?
The security guard looks uncomfortable, "He wants you to come with him."
I frown, showing I don't quite understand, "So, is he like... going to arrest me for nothing now!"
"He said he'll explain what's going on once you get in the car." The man seriously looks like he wants to leave.
"Fine. Just gimme a moment to change my clothes." I am so not going outside in the ugly clothes I'm wearing right now. When the bird messed up my jeans I decided to just put on some sweatpants, yet I can't possible leave the house like that!
The man nods and closes the door as he leaves.
I get up from my bed and glance around the room... there's no way I'm going to allow a robot to watch me change.
"I'm just gonna say this once, so listen carefully: leave my room now or face death when I figure out you've been watching me." I make my voice as threatingly as possible. No idea if I'm good at it though. It's not like anyone ever told me.
Complete silence is my response, yet I still don't trust it. Few seconds later I just decide to go do something seeing the officer is still waiting for me.
I swiftly open my wardrobe and pull out some black leggings and a tight blue tunic that reaches just underneath my butt. After I've changed into them I carefully choose what shoes to wear. The boots I choose are white, which fits the white jacket I put on as well.
I approve of the outfit, although I don't like the way I have my hair. Unfortunately I can't do anything about it, seeing I hear another knock.
"What is it?" It came out more irritated then how I intented it to be.
"The officer wants you to come. Now." The same male as before, I note. He has the same voice. I never forget voices.
I walk towards the door and open it a bit annoyed, "Fine. Lets go then. I just didn't get to do my hair."
"I'm sure he won't mind, miss." The security guard smiles at me and leads the way. He walks with me until we reach the car in front of the house. A normal police car, with a guy sitting inside.
"I can't go any further than this. Good luck." The male nods and waits for me to get in. I do so, although it is somewhat hesitantly. I'm not used to getting in a car with only one other guy that I don't even know.
I close the door once I'm sitting in my seat, and put on my seatbelt, "Well, there ya go. Mind telling me what I did wrong, officer?" With a curious expression I look at him, yet the man doesn't reply.
I simply observe him for a moment. I guess he's in his thirties or fourties, he has a moustache and doesn't look handsome at all. His hair is blonde, styled upwards and a bit long but not very long. A very normal man, I suppose. He's just a bit quiet.
While taking in his looks, he already drove off. I have no idea where we're going... just that we're going somewhere.
Normal p.o.v.
The officer and Terrwyn had left the city, and she had no idea why. No matter how many times she asked the man where they were heading, he didn't reply. When she tried to call her dad, or anyone for that matter, she had no reception. And whenever she tried to escape from the car it wasn't possible because the doors were locked and she couldn't unlock them. At least she wasn't sitting on the backseat.
They were now in some kind of large open field, a place that looked like no one had been there for years.
Terrwyn sighed as she stared out of the window, "Seriously, once I get home you're so losing your job... This isn't even legal, you know!"
The car came to an instant halt, making the girl really happy for having put on her seatbelt. She looked up and her door opened. Strange... How can a door just... do that?
Cautiously, she released her belt and stepped out of the car. Terrwyn groaned as she felt her foot sinking into the mud. Bye bye beautiful white boots.
"I swear, the past few days were weird and terrible..." She made sure her voice wasn't loud enough for the officer to hear and twirled around to face the man. Yet he wasn't standing next to the car, neither was he in it...
Terrwyn took a few steps back and examined her surroundings, trying to figure out where the man went off to. There was no one to be seen.
"What the eff?... I think I'm going mad here."
The sound of a jet engine made her glance up at the sky on reflex. At first, it was distant and she couldn't make out where it came from. But after a short period of time it finally came into her vision. A military jet, she thought.
Out loud, she wondered: "What's it doing here? All alone... and what am I even doing here?... Something about this whole situation isn't right..."
Her eyes widdened as she suddenly realized something: the tank in that video could transform into a robot...
With her shocked eyes she stared at the police car, "Don't tell me you can transform too."
Terrwyn was so focused on the car that she forgot about the jet for a moment, who transformed and landed just a few feet away from them. This however, got her attenion.
Her mouth fell open at the sight of the huge robot and at first she couldn't get a word out.
The thing just stared back at her for a moment until he gazed at the car, who changed into a big robot as well.
The girl just took a few more steps back, not sure if she should run now or simply say hi and wait what would happen.
It became the latter: "...Hi there?" Her voice was high pitched, soft and filled with fear. The chicken was one thing, robots that are quite a few times bigger than her is bad.
The police car suddenly began to chuckle as he analyzed the girl.
Terrwyn was just confused, "Excuse me? Did I do anything wrong?"
"Just as fragile as her father." He stated with amusement in his voice.
"And you're even uglier than the chicken!" She snapped back, feeling insulted and not thinking about how wise it was to do so at all.
This time, it was the jet who chuckled, "Feisty."
[] Yay, another chapter done. =D Terrwyn is finally going to meet the bigger guys. I wished it could've been Soundwave, but seeing the TF storyline he's somewhere in space now. And Megs is still dead... so I thought about who were still alive... and then I remembered those two. x3
Next chapter is going to be very fun to write. xD Terrwyn actually talking to those two... oh, wonder what will happen. :P
I'm really motivated by all the reviews I'm getting! Thanks to all who review!
Like always: tips (to make the story better), ideas, critics and just reviews in general are really appreciated. No, even better: they're loved! O: They keep me writing!
Now, I'm going to ask you all a question, just cause I feel like it: Who is/are your favorite Con(s)? :3 []
