"Dylan."
The man turns around to look at the flatscreen TV in the room, "Yes? What can I help you with?" Acting as formal and respectful as possible, he curses at the robot in his mind. He was about to call his daughter if she's alright and the Decepticon knew that!
The thing transforms seeing no one is around and hops onto the male's desk. "My superiors are most displeased about the behaviour of your... daughter." He spoke the last word with venom in his voice. Had it been possible, he would have killed the girl already.
"I apologize. She's a teenager and still has much to learn." Even though it was just an excuse to safe her life, he was telling the truth. The girl had to grow up before being able to deal with all of them. Yet how did Laserbeak's superiors, some other Decepticons, know about Terrwyn's behaviour? He was getting worried now.
The bird hops a little closer to the man and looks straight into Gould's eyes, "You better teach her some respect before I do." His voice was threatening. Wings flap a few times just like a real bird does before returning to simply hanging next to the body. "And believe me... I will enjoy doing so."
"Of course, Laserbeak. I'll take care of it." Showing no fear at the closeness, the man nods his head, treating the Decepticon like he would treat any other client. Perhaps a bit more respectful, seeing the position he was in.
Without a warning, the bird flew away through the open window, into the darkness of the night. Sighing, Dylan leans back into his chair, his chin resting on his hand as he thinks. Terrwyn wasn't one to listen to rules. She rather breaks them and does whatever the hell she wants, making this task rather difficult. He had to convince her, make her realize, she was in danger if she did not show a bit more respect towards the mighty Decepticons. Yet at the same time, they didn't need a traitor either. She could easily run away and try to tell someone about the aliens if he went too far. Making the girl feel like she wasn't ''good enough'', as she called it, always made her run away. And if she did and ran into the Autobots...
Dylan frowns at the thought. She was not to meet the Autobots. Never. It would only cause trouble and endanger her and himself. He had never wanted his daughter to get involved in all this, yet he had known it was going to happen someday. This was just too early. She was not ready yet.
After reaching to grab the phone on his desk, he calls her on her cellphone. There was no way she'd ever leave that piece of technology behind. Yet to no avail. Wherever the girl was, she didn't answer the call.
Terrwyn p.o.v.
"Ugh, this is the most terrible day ever!" I whine, looking at my boots that had become completely brown thanks to the mud. I cling my arms around myself thanks to the cold of the night. I wasn't dressed for this. I didn't even have clothes for this! Makes you realize in what kind of terrible situation I was.
Looking at the trees that surround the place, I have no idea where I am. The dark doesn't make it any better, I can't see a thing. Only the moon lights up the place.
At the moment, I am simply following the road we had come from, but even with doing that, I'm not sure I'll ever get home. First of all, the police car had taken many turns and I wasn't paying attention to all of them. Secondly, there might be wild animals around here. I don't know! Third, I had no reception so couldn't call anyone or get on the internet with my phone to use my GPS! And last but not least: Maybe those freaking robots were still chasing me! That bird or something! What if they abduct me again!
For whatever reason they had done it, I am not happy. At all. Once I get home, I decide, I take a warm bath and go to sleep afterwards. Luckily it's still summer vacation, else I'd have a problem because tomorrow it's monday.
Hitting a mosquito that tries to drink my delicious blood, I groan and sit down on the ground where there's no dirt, only the asphalt from the road. Which is a lot better than messing up my pants even more. Besides, cars don't seem to pass here anyway. It's safe.
Normal p.o.v.
The girl wakes up from her peaceful sleep. She sits up and... "Dangit, my back hurts!... Where am I? Oh, right. Left in the middle of nowhere." Yawning, she looks around. "Trees, trees, only trees." She checks her cellphone, "Still no reception, just like I guessed." The next thing she looks at is her clothes; "They look even worse in the daylight... I've deserved this how?"
"By being disrespectful. We always punish the disrespectful ones..." The voice was rather silent, but loud enough for her to hear... and to be startled by.
Terrwyn jumps around to look at the bird who's sitting on a branch of a tree while giving another scream, "I told you to stop doing that!"
"I don't think you did."
She crosses her arms, "Then now I do!"
He lets himself float down and lands in front of her on the road. "I don't take orders from humans." Now she's sure about it: he's actually glowering at her.
"Hmpf." Sticking her nose in the air, she quietly stands there, thinking if she's even doing the right thing. This had been a punishment, it seems. Leaving her behind because of her disrespect. At least, she thought that had been the punishment. The conversation had been useful.
Suddenly hovering in front of her, he sticks his face close to her ear, whispering: "If you're a good girl and show some respect, I can get you out of here..."
With her face as pale as a ghost right now, her mind was screaming at her: "Don't freak out. Don't shout. Don't freak out, Terrwyn, or you'll never get away from here. Do not scream in fear, and most of all: Do not complain about your clothes."
Noticing the fearful silence coming from the girl, a smirk forms on his faceplates. "If not, I can leave you here for another few days. It won't make a difference to me." He had not given her more space yet. Finally, he knew a way to intimidate this little brat.
Terrwyn nods slowly, not moving, only frowning. These were obviously the bad guys. Would there be any good guys out there or was the planet doomed already? Really, it didn't matter. She was stuck with these ones now. Lovely.
The chicken, as she still calls it, finally decides to back down and let her breathe again, as she had unconsciously been holding it in.
"That's better." The Decepticon was still smirking as he contacts barricade on his comlink, speaking in Cybertronian: ~"The human has finally learned her lesson. Prepare to pick her up."~
~"Acknowledged. Barricade on his way."~
"So ehm..." Terrwyn was getting nervous. "If you do not tell me your name I'll have to keep calling you chicken."
He growled at that nickname, "It's Laserbeak."
Letting one arm hang loose next to her body, and going through her hair with her other hand, she says: "Well, hi. I'm Terrwyn."
The glare returns, "I know that, stupid fleshling."
"I'm not stupid!" … "Just annoying."
Yes, she knows she is. Although hard to admit, the girl had heard it before and could tell it was true. Not obeying rules and showing disrespect didn't make her stupid! It just seemed to be annoying.
The sound of an engine roaring ends their conversation. When Terrwyn looks, she sees it's the same police car who left her in the middle of nowhere last night. The only difference now is that she knew it was actually a huge robot.
Stopping right next to her, the car opens the door to the passenger's seat. So Terrwyn walks without hesitating towards the other side of the car, as the driver's seat side was facing her, and swiftly gets in. The door immediately closes as she sits down in the chair. As soon as she has fastened her seatbelt, the car turns and drives away, leaving the bird to go do whatever he wanted to do.
"Do not think I like you now or anything." Like always when she's angry, her arms cross before her chest and she straightens her back. She might be uncomfortable, but showing her fear once and humiliating herself like that will not happen again.
No reply is her answer. Only the engine fills the otherwise awkward silence.
"Guess we agree to it then." Sighing, she slumps back in the seat, randomly realizing how tired she is. And that her back still hurts. She had almost forgotten about that. The past night begins to take its toll on her now though.
Trying to not think about the fact she's sitting inside of a giant evil alien robot, she hangs her head against the window and glances at the trees that quickly pass them. Or rather, which they quickly pass. Trees don't move. That'd just be weird. And creepy.
"You're still gonna pay for ruining my clothes..." Terrwyn mutters to the police car before drifting off into a light sleep
Barricade p.o.v.
As I'm driving back towards the human's home, I notice she has fallen into recharge. Or sleep, as those stupid fleshies call it. I'd hate it, if it wasn't for the fact she at least keeps her mouth shut while ''sleeping''.
The last thing she said before dozing off makes me chuckle. Like she can make me pay for anything. Let alone something stupid as clothes. Why do humans even wear them? It looks terrible. Then again, fleshlings just look terrible. As do the Autobots, who are way too bright, yet I prefer their looks over the look of a human.
About the Autobots... I growl softly. They are hiding somewhere on earth and we aren't able to locate them. If anything, they keep being able to locate the Decepticons. All over the world, no matter where we hide. If Soundwave can't find them once he's connected to that sattelite, I will deny the order to hide and lead them towards me! Perhaps even offline some in the process as well. Another chuckle leaves me when I think about it.
[] First of all: thanks to all reviewers and people who add me or my story to their favorites and/or alerts! You make me smile! :)
Alright so... this chapter is, I think, longer than the others... Thanks to watching all three movies (I've been watching from 10 in the evening to 5 at night to see them all... 7 hours of awesome movies :D), I got in a mood to write them again. This chapter showing more sides of the story than just Terrwyn's... as I began to find it annoying to keep writing about clothes, seeing this is a TRANSFORMER fanfiction for a reason. I tried to write in Barricade's p.o.v., but probably failed badly... I just can't write him. Especially not as he just say two lines in all three movies!
Also, Terr is finally understanding she actually is in danger! Wooh, wonder what she'll do next. X3
Please review and give me tips, ideas, critics, anything! I love to read them and they're motivational! ...And I should stop talking now! See ya next chapter!
P.S. ~"insert text"~ means they're talking through their comlinks. If I spelled that right. []
