Terrwyn shamefully stepped inside her house, looking around once more to see the police car still being there. Not good. Glancing back into the house, she realized the lights in the living room were still on, along with the lights in the kitchen. Great. This meant her father was still up and she'd get a lecture!

Carefully and as silent as possible, she closed the door and locked it. It wasn't like she was afraid of thieves, but it still made her feel more safe. Probably because she now knew there was a lot of danger in this world, some danger not even being from this world!

With a few more steps towards the beautifully furnished room, she could see her dad asleep on one of the couches. Her first thought was to just go upstairs and talk to him in the morning, but... For once she felt really happy to see him! Like it was the best thing that ever happened to her!

Not like this didn't confuse her, but it quickly made her decide to wake him. And with a hug.

Terrwyn somewhat ran over to him and wrapped her arms around her dad's neck, realizing it had been a while since she last got close with him.

Dylan was even more surprised to wake up with his sixteen year old daughter hanging around his neck like that.

"I missed you so much, you know that?!" It simply came out of her mouth, and she started to feel emotional. Right now, it didn't matter to her if the chicken was watching! Or the car, the jet, or even Mega... whatever, she didn't bother to remember.

"I missed you, too, Terrwyn." His voice was full of surprise as his arms held her waist. Wasn't she a bit too old for hugging? At least, that is what she always told him...

Finally, she was reunited with her father. Here she was safe, protected and loved... Terrwyn started to sob, only now realizing she really shouldn't have sneaked out when he told her not to. Never before did she think it was for her own safety, but now she realized it was.

Gould took notice of this, and couldn't help but smile. "I hope you learned your lesson?" The Decepticons were good for something after all... Perhaps he had to speak with Laserbeak again about that help to discipline her.

"I did..." Terrwyn stated in a whisper as she pulled back to look at him. "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have left! Now they want me to go to some kind of 'Automobile' base tomorrow and get information about... something!" She so wasn't prepared for it.

"I know." Dylan stated, realizing she meant Autobots not automobiles. Little did the girl know that even if she got caught, the Decepticons had contact with people that could easily free her like nothing ever happened.

That was right, her father had accepted to it... "Why do you agree on me going?" She wanted to know that answer.

"You think I had a choice?" There was no way Dylan was taking the blame for it. Those machines never left anyone a choice.

...Now it got to Terrwyn. Her father didn't work with them! He was more like a prisoner himself! But probably not allowed to say that. Just like in the movies! "Ah... That explains things." Her gaze fell on the flatscreen television that was in the room, having an all too familiar feel about it.

Terrwyn only glared at the thing though, before looking back at her father. "Well, I should go get some sleep..." And prepare for the mission tomorrow...

"You should." Dylan stated as he got up as well.

They both walked upstairs, no more words being exchanged between the two. Tonight had been somewhat awkward for them.

Dylan Gould left for his room as Terrwyn left for hers.

Laserbeak p.o.v.

So... the humans cleared up their differences all thanks to us. That could be useful in manipulating Dylan Gould even further... Eventually he'll be forced to give up his daughter to the Decepticons, just like his father did with him. A generation of loyal servants. Terrwyn Gould will be one of them, eventually...

I sneak towards the femme's room, carefully opening the door with my claws. All lights are turned off. Good... Even if she wakes up she won't be able to see me.

Going inside, I chuckle as I realize she hasn't done anything else against orders. Not trying to escape, the computer wasn't on for more information... And most of all, the insect is peacefully sleeping in her bed, as it was called... Unaware I'm even here.

I land on the side of the bed, smirking at the thought that I could kill her any moment. Soon, all humans will be at our mercy like that! Once the Autobots are defeated!

~"Laserbeak to Megatron. The human has finally submitted."~ I report through my comm-link.

~"Good. Make sure she doesn't escape us, either way. We can't afford to take any risks..."~

~"Of course, my Lord..."~ I once more glance down at the peaceful human. If she only knew...

Terrwyn p.o.v.

As I wake up I look on the clock. 01:00 PM. ...There's no telling how many time I still have left for my mission. Shit.

I quickly jump up and run downstairs to get myself some breakfast. The maids all give me weird looks as I quickly grab everything I think I need. Eggs, bacon, bread... That's enough for a nice toast, right? I try to roast the bread and cook the bacon... How do I do this again?

"Would you like some help, miss Gould?" One of the older maids asks me.

"Eh... yeah..." I have no idea what to do with the food, really.

Even though she isn't as rushed as I am, the female shows me how to make my breakfast. It's done within no time! I quickly sit down and eat all of it, trying not to think of everything that can go wrong on a mission like the one I have to carry out... I'm not even sure what to expect!

As soon as I'm left alone, I hear an odd sound. Robotic. With a groan and a sigh, I put my dishes in the kitchen sink before carefully tiptoe'ing towards the stairs. No way I want to see the chicken right now!

I look behind me into the living room. Nothing there... but wait! The television is gone... Oh no... He's after me.

Without warning, I run up the stairs, being a bit freaked out. I'm not going to let him catch me! He's not going to get me! Oh no, not today! Not now! Not before I'm done preparing! He can't take me away from here yet!

"Terrwyn?" My dad seems a bit confused at my freaked face. "What are you talking about?"

Wait, I was talking? Probably mumbling to myself...

"Are you alright?" He takes a few steps towards me, but I don't feel at peace. It's like something's watching me!

"No, I'm not alright! I'm being chased by robot chickens, police cars, jets and alien spaceships! I've been away from home for two nights, I slept in the middle of nowhere, I... I..." I'm about to run into my room, lock the door and hide under my covers.

He sighs deeply, "Calm down, Terrwyn. They're not after you."

"Then why are they targetting me?!" I keep looking around. Not seeing them and knowing they're here is even worse than seeing them...

"It's just a simple mission." My father is smiling at me. Why is he smiling? Why?!

And why am I so freaked out at the moment? I try to take a deep breath. "It's alright, Terrwyn. Your father is right... Just go to your room, pick out some nice clothes to wear, do that mission and go shopping as a reward afterwards..."

"That's the spirit." Dylan tells me as he pets my shoulder before walking away.

"Yeah, good idea..." I try to calm down as I walk towards my room. With a quick move, I throw the door open! No one there. Good.

Carefully closing the door behind me, I go to my laptop and type in google: "Best outfit for spying."

~*19:00 PM.*~

This is it. I, Terrwyn, am sitting in the police car, the bird next to me. We're on our way to the location for the mission. I'm clutching my black backpack. I know, these things are so old and ugly! But it goes with the spy outfit I'm wearing. Not like Laserbeak didn't give me a weird look, before chuckling and saying he was glad I prepared.

For the seventh time this ride, I open my backpack to see if I have eveything. Flashlight, as we might have to go through dark places, some food for my energy. A bottle of water, check. An USB stick if I need to download anything. My cellphone for multiple reasons. A hairbrush and my make-up. Yeah, that's it. Now lets hope I won't lose it like the shirt I bought yesterday. I left it behind somewhere when Barricade was chasing me...

I randomly realize it's really quiet. The silence is somewhat awkward. I can understand why the driver isn't talking, but... the bird isn't very... talkative either.

"So..." I begin, trying to not look at the odd beings as I talk to them. However, I can feel a glare burning in the back of my head. "Do we have a strategy?"

"We already explained it twice, fleshling..." Laserbeak growls, not seeming to be happy about the fact I asked. Again. "You will just have to follow my orders..."

I sigh deeply, not really liking that idea. "Alright. Alright... Are we almost there?"

…Silence.

"Well?" I turn my head to look at the now smirking bird.

"Yes..." He seems to be looking at a certain building that's not too far away from us. Guards are surrounding it, and there's a fence as well.

The car stops and the door opens. Of course, we were sitting in the backseat. I quickly get out, being nervous and excited at the same time. Nothing could be worse than that meeting last night, right? Especially not if these were the good guys? They seemed to work with humans... I don't see any extraterrestrial beings walking outside.

"Remember to stay close to me, and don't talk when you don't need to." The bird has joined me. I simply nod, "Got it."

We start to walk, at least, I walk, towards the building. We're not even going to attempt to get through the fence. No, the Decepticons know a secret entry in a small building that's close to the bigger one. We quickly reach it, and Laserbeak lands on the cement floor, looking up at me. "Ladies first, as the humans say..."

With a small and tensed nod, my hand goes forward to doorknob. I carefully open it and peek inside. No one's there, but it's dark...

I quickly reach for the flashlight in my backpack, and turn it on to look inside. There's nothing even in there, just filth! Why wasn't that door locked, anyway? Like they expect visitors!

"Well?" The Decepticon seems to be impatient.

"Clear?" I heard that in crimeseries... No one inside means it's 'clear' to go in. And I do so. As soon as I'm inside, I hear the door close. With a little yelp I jump around to see it was just Laserbeak. He seems annoyed...

Without explenations or anything, the bird uses his claws to open some sort of hatch in the floor. It was sealed off pretty well, but he got it open. I shine down with my flashlight, lighting up the place so I can see how to get in there. A ladder. Nasty looking at that.

"Do I have to do this?..." I complain, not wanting to get anything dirty. This reminds me... I put on the gloves I had hidden in my pocket.

"You'll enjoy it..." Laserbeak states, although it sounds more like a: 'You won't enjoy it, but I will.'

"Well then... Here we go."

[]Yay, another chapter is written! More action is going to happen. ^^ Just to explain Terrwyn's behaviour in this chapter, I think everyone would get a bit paranoid if you go through this. She's also experiencing mood swings... And yes, humor was lacking in this chapter. Guess that's because Terrwyn is growing a bit more serious and understanding of the situation she's in... Although there is still lots of funny stuff planned!

Any suggestions and ideas are always welcome! So is telling me how to improve my writing! I know I have to improve, but I'm not sure how or with what...

Thanks to all followers, favorite'ers, and reviewers! I love you. x3[]
