"Hello" Autobot talking.
"Hello" Human/Magic talking.
That night we were all gathered outside for Jadey's funeral, I was holding the box that had Jadey's body in it and was watching 'Star and Sire dig a hole for Jadey, 'Osi had brought a gravestone earlier. It was made of black marble and the writing was in purple, Jadey's favourite colour, at the top of the gravestone was a star that I had drawn on it. Below that was Jade's name, her nickname, then the date she was born which was the 9th April 1997...she had the same birthday as I did. Then the date of her death, the 10th July 2013, she turned 16 in April. Then under that were the meaningful words that I thought of:
You were a caring and compassionate person and always put others before yourself, you've showed great bravery and determination and was always willing to take risks to protect those you cared about, you may be gone...but you'll never be forgotten. Rest in peace
Bumblebee had picked a purple rose from the garden, it was perfect for her, I'm allergic to roses. If I smell one it starts me off sneezing, so I avoid them when I can.
I walked forwards and knelt down in front of the hole that Sire and 'Star had dug, I looked at the box one more time before carefully placing it in the hole, I got up and stepped back.
We were all quiet as Sire and 'Steel filled up the hole with the soil, I saw some of the others crying, I could see that they did care about her despite not knowing her all that well. But that doesn't matter, they care and that's all that matters, it shows that she was cared for by everyone.
Jade's POV
I watched everything from the Well of AllSparks, despite daddy not showing his emotions, I could see that deep down he was Spark-broken. And it brought me to tears, I looked at Jazzy, Becky and 'Osi who were in tears as well. Even those that didn't know me all too well were upset about my death, and that did warm my Spark, it shows that I was cared for by everyone. I sniffed and wiped my eyes, then I heard footsteps behind me and turned, I saw a gold mech that looked about daddy's height. He had icy blue optics and a good build, he looked a kind and gentle mech "Your family mean everything to you" he said softly, he had a deep soothing voice.
I nodded "Wh-Who are you?" I asked quietly.
"I'm Primus" Primus replied with a smile.
No way...Primus! Our Creator! I bowed down in respect.
Primus chuckled softly "You don't have to bow Jade" he said softly.
I nodded a little and straightened up again.
"You've been through some hardships in your life" Primus said softly "but you have overcome them"
I knew he knew about my past and nodded, I looked down at my family again and they were walking inside, they had said their last goodbyes. I'll never forget them.
Ironhide's POV
The next morning I walked out the base to Jadey's grave, I'd found it hard to recharge last night, I only got a few hours if I was lucky. I sat down next to Jadey's grave and sighed, I crossed my legs and looked down.
Jade's POV
I had to go and see him, I knew who had killed me, and I think he should know. So I went down to him and appeared beside him "Daddy?" I asked softly.
Daddy jumped a little and looked at me "J-Jadey?" he whispered.
I nodded and gave him a hug.
Daddy sniffed and hugged me back, he started to cry.
I hugged him tighter and snuggled up to him.
Daddy held me close and kissed my head "It's not fair" he whispered and sniffed.
"I know daddy, but you know I'll always be watching over you guys" I replied softly and held his hand.
Daddy sniffed and held my hand.
"Daddy, I know the driver that killed me" I whispered.
Ironhide's POV
She knew the driver that killed her? Now I can find him and show him how much grief he's put all of us through, my sadness turned to anger, but not at Jadey and she knew that. I wiped my optics and looked at Jadey "Who is it?" I asked and growled a little.
Jade's POV
Daddy's optics had gone deep red, oh that driver is going to get it!
I got up "I'll show you" I replied.
Daddy got up and nodded, he brought out his cannons as his optics turned almost blood red, I've never seen him look so angry at someone who wasn't the enemy. He looks scary when angry, but I don't blame him, I'd be the same way if it were daddy who had gotten killed. He followed me down the street where we both saw a guy on the phone, he was a rich guy and had a fancy silver Mercedes, to the guy I was invisible so I could watch the action "That's him daddy" I said.
Daddy clenched his fists and nodded, he growled and stalked towards the man, I swear his optics had turned blood red.
Ironhide's POV
I stalked towards the driver who was on the phone.
"Yeah man, yesterday this stupid cat just ran out right in front of me" the man said.
I growled, that wasn't true at all!
The man jumped when he heard my growl and looked up "Hey man I gotta go" he said and ended the call "can I help you?"
I snarled "You killed my cat" I sneered.
The man backed up "Hey man it was just a cat, you can get another, it's no big deal" he replied "hell I'll even pay for it"
"That's not the point!" I snarled "you have no idea how much grief you've caused!"
"Dude it's just a cat!" the man replied.
I snarled and lifted my foot over his car, a Mercedes I think it was.
"No! Don't do that! It cost me thousands!" the man exclaimed.
"A car is nothing compared to a cat that meant everything to me" I sneered and stamped right on it.
"No!" the man cried.
"Oh I'm not done yet" I sneered and moved my foot off the car, I pointed my cannons at it "happy driving arsehole" I shot at the car and it exploded "maybe you'll think twice before you decide to speed"
"No man! My car, my car!" the man cried as he fell on his knees.
"You're lucky it's the car that got my wrath, next time, you might not be so lucky" I sneered before walking back to base.
Jadey sat on my shoulder and smiled.
I smiled a little and nuzzled her cheek gently.
Jadey giggled and hugged my neck "Thank you daddy" she whispered before fading out.
I smiled a little "No worries Jadey" I whispered softly.
Three weeks have gone by since Jadey's death and things are hard, and I use that lightly, very lightly. I've been fighting off my depression ever since Jadey's gone, and let me tell you it's not easy, I get 'urges' to go down to the shooting range and just...do it again. I don't show that I'm like I am, though those that know me well and know about my depression can see I'm struggling, and they have tried to get me to talk. Not in a nasty way, just gentle, but it's been a very long time since I've opened up to anyone about my feelings. My main priority was supporting the others, especially 'Osi, Jazz and Becky, after me they were the closest to Jadey. When I'm with Jazz I mainly listen to him than speaking, when I do I talk in Cybertronian, our native language. With 'Osi and Becky I talk English as they're both family to me, it is an emotional battle for me because I've not opened up at all to anyone, and I can see that Ratch and my family are concerned. But I just assure them that I'm fine and that it's nothing to worry about, if only that were true...
I sat down under my oak tree, like Jadey I had an oak tree as well, it wasn't too far from Jadey's actually. The others would find me out here quite a lot, I've not been able to sleep that well either, I only get a few hours if I'm lucky. All this battling with depression and lack of recharge has really taken its toll on me, I'm so close to just giving up fighting and just letting my depression come and just get it over with.
