Disclaimer: Same as first chapter. Don't own.
Author's Note: Last chapter was lengthy enough but I didn't have any songs—course, this girl hasn't had any time to sing any songs right now. Mwah ha ha, maybe at the end of this chapter?
Shout-out: Two new followers: KhAndTwilightFan15 and blackcat711. Thanks for joining this madness here and I hope you continue to read. Two New Reviewers: Neko-Renku, I've replied back to already about her review which was an ACTUAL review I felt like. *chuckles* And of course KhAndTwilghtFan15 who….at least made a complete sentence but again with the word of 'Awesome'. I don't understand what exactly is awesome. I mean, obviously the story is awesome and all, but what parts of it are awesome and which aren't? *shrugs* I don't really care though. Keep reading and enjoying.
Music: Songs I'm listening to by Nickelback 'Gotta be Somebody' and 'I'd come for you'. Both very powerful songs, esp. the latter one since they seem to speak deeply to me. Then there's the Piano Duet from Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride.
Chapter Five Trapped in Place
The sun felt nice against my skin and I briefly wondered if I was going to end up with a tan because I was spending so much time riding around in a topless car with Sunstreaker all the time. Hopefully we really wouldn't have to deal with each other much after this. I was hoping this last little thing would reunite him with his group of people and maybe I could go back to staring out a window and wishing for a better future instead of what I was doing right now, and that was trying to convince my right arm it needed to work.
"You're sure this will work?" Sunstreaker spoke up again, interrupting the nice quiet peace we'd had going.
"ugh," I groaned," You just don't stop do you. Trust me, it will totally work." I rolled my eyes and muttered under my breath. "Higher Intelligence apparently equals less ability to use common sense and logic." He growled and swerved, throwing me off balance. "EASY!" I could hear laughing coming from the radio and glared at it. "Keep it up, and I'm never washing you at all… you'll have to LIVE with my blood stains because NO one will wash you off because of your nasty attitude." I was rewarded with silence and shockingly good behavior the rest of the trip. I ran a hand through my hair, grimacing at the tangles in it. Well, it wasn't like I was trying to win a beauty contest or anything. "So, once this is done and they come get you…I'm not getting get like locked up for the rest of my life am I? Because I'm pretty sure my government does that kind of thing…and I'd really just like to go see the world and stuff."
"I don't have the slightest idea about that," Sunstreaker replied as we approached a familiar sign and he slowed down, peeling into a familiar neighborhood.
"HEY! That's Sam's house…," I murmured, trailing off. I could see contractors attempting to fix part of it. What the hell had happened there? Sunstreaker pulled to a stop and I frowned, puzzled.
"That's Cybertronian damage," he replied and I wondered what he meant," I know of one particular mech who would leave that kind of energy signal all the over this place like that…Bumblebee has been here but he's gone." I blinked a few times in question.
"Wait…Bumblebee? Like yellow with black or something?" I questioned and Sunstreaker's engine rumbled in acknowledgement. "Sam has this Camaro that has like black racing stripes and is yellow." I smacked Sunstreaker's steering wheel. "Sam has an Autobot… Oh my god…Everything makes sense now. The reason he's wanted, the weird alien terrorist attack happening and stuff…Well, maybe…"
"What are you talking about?" Sunstreaker snarled, almost nastily. I was amazed his radio didn't melt with the poison in his voice all the time.
"I might just need to talk to Sam Witwicky or perhaps his girlfriend about all this. Obviously they are pretty involved with these things…Look, I need to use a phone or something," I muttered and made a gesture for Sunstreaker to go. He growled but we made it down the street and he pulled over at a gas station where payphones were.
"Be careful what you say," he informed me and I rolled my eyes," I'm serious…If Bumblebee has been here, he has been very careful about it. So the last thing we need is a bunch of Deceti-creeps popping up all over this place…" I patted the steering wheel.
"Aw, you're concerned," I said, before getting out. He was spluttering and trying to insult me as I made my way to a payphone. Luckily I had change and I fed it to the machine. My mind blanked for a second on phone numbers and I took a deep breath. Come on…What was the number? No. I needed Mik's number. Sam's had given me some kind of busy signal…though it might work now? I dialed in Sam's number and was surprised when it began to ring. Alright. That was kind of weird.
"Hello?" A male voice asked, but it wasn't Sam's. "Can I help you?"
"Uh," I said trailing off. This wasn't who I wanted to speak with.
"Hello? Who is this?" the voice demanded and I could hear voices in the background, sounded like tons of yelling and something loud clunked something rather hard several times. Was I on speaker-phone because it sounded like it.
"Um…Is Sam there?" I asked, feeling stupid now. Suddenly everything in the background died down to quietness.
"Who is this?" the voice demanded again, this time less friendly.
"Look, I'm not really comfortable giving my name over the phone because this isn't a secured line," I muttered and scanned the area around me as the hair on the back of my neck rose. Everything looked normal though and I forced myself to try to calm down. "Look, just tell him—" Sunstreaker's engines revved loudly, obviously telling me to wrap it up. I glared at him and he revved his engines even louder, catching other's attention. "SORRY! The engine needs a good tune-up!" I called out to the people who still stared at the car like it was possessed. "Oh my god, that is the OPPOSITE of lying low." I hissed at the car before turning my attention back to the phone call where the guy was waiting. "Um… Just… Let Sam know that his friend who likes to stare at the stars called and she needs a little advice on some car problems she's been having….and jet problems…" I made a sudden face and rolled my eyes. Could I sound any more like an idiot?
"…car problems?" the man on the other end asked, seeming more intent now," What kind of car problems?"
"…I don't know if I can trust you," I replied, being honest. "I've been through pretty much hell and I'm kind of in an injured state now thanks to my current situation." Revving engine caught my attention again as well as other people's again. "OH YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!" I screamed at the car and kicked a rock towards him," Just give me a few seconds please. It's bad enough I can't actually SAY anything due to monitored lines thank you very much, so CHILL."
"Car problems, hunh," the man said on the other end and seemed to sigh," Listen. You can trust me, but even if you don't…you haven't got much of a choice. Are you in any current danger?"
"Um…No?" I asked and glanced at Sunstreaker," Unless you count my border-line psychotic car."
"…Alright. Where are you?" the voice questioned and I bit my bottom lip nervously. I didn't know if I really could trust whoever was on the other line. What if they were with the bad guys?
"Where it all began," I replied, and waited to see if that was even understood.
"Got it…what's your current status?" He demanded and I could hear sounds of people rushing around and yelling again. "Are you able to run and hide?"
"Yes," I whispered, getting that weird feeling again. My eyes widened as I spotted the muscle car just sitting there waiting. How long had it been watching us? Sunstreaker must not have noticed him yet. "Oh hell…"
"What's wrong?" the male suddenly demanded and all sound stopped again.
"Our not quite friends from earlier are back," I murmured, my heart pounding in my chest. "Look, my car isn't fully fuctional either. It can move and such…but it has no um…higher functioning systems like long-range sensors or communication and even the short-range ones are trippy…" Obviously because Lockdown was just sitting there waiting for us to leave. Would he not attack us right here?
"Can he access weapon systems?" the male asked, having apparently come to the conclusion that our cover was blown anyways.
"No, but I think they both like the up close and personal fighting," I replied, feeling sweat beading up and dripping down off of me. I swallowed nervously. "Look…we're going to have to flee again and Sunstreaker is going to have to fight so I've got to let you go okay. I'll try to keep us away from him for as long as possible but it might be a fight." I hung up and calmly got back into Sunstreaker.
"About time," Sunstreaker growled and I hesitated, feeling my heart pounding in my chest still. What the hell was I supposed to do now? "Well, what did we decide on?"
"I think someone's going to be coming to get us…but we should move and find somewhere to hide and wait," I said, trying not to look at Lockdown. He was gone. I don't know if I was relieved or extremely worried. Sunstreaker's engine rumbled and he pulled out of the gas-station to head away.
"Where do you recommend?" He asked and I found myself checking for any signs of Lockdown. Still none, so we were safe for now. I didn't know how long it would take for someone to find us anyways, or if they were actually coming. I drummed my fingers nervously on the steering wheel in thought as Sunstreaker simply drove around the town.
"Well…maybe we should just hide in plain sight," I murmured and I could detect confusion in him.
"What do you mean?" He suddenly asked me as I spotted a used car lot. It was closed though, so we were in luck.
"Pull over there…and in between some of those cars and then go back into idle or something," I told him and he complied. I sank down lower into the seat in an attempt to attract less attention to myself. "So hopefully anyone looking for us will kind of overlook us here anyways…maybe…" I wasn't sure how that would even work.
"Well, it's worth a try," Sunstreaker spoke up and then that was the last I heard from him for the new two hours. Literally. I'd drifted off into a light sleep until Sunstreaker woke me up with a quiet whisper. "Here he comes…" I shifted slightly and risked a glance around. Sure enough, Lockdown was cruising by very slowly as if searching for something. For us. My heart hammered in my chest almost painfully as I tried to calm down. This was bad. Really really bad. Sunstreaker didn't move or make any noise. I thought my heart sounded too loud to me personally but Lockdown seemed to have found nothing as he moved on slowly.
"How much longer do you think it'll take for someone to actually find us?" I whispered quietly, almost to myself really but I knew he'd hear me for sure. "I mean, if one of the Autobots was involved and they found out?"
"This is a big planet…with strange customs and we're trying to blend in…It may take a little longer," Sunstreaker informed me quietly. I figured as much but yeah. My legs felt incredibly stiff and I think I might have to go to the bathroom soon. There was a small pressure building in my bladder anyways so I knew as much. I sighed, settling back into the seat again without much else to do. I was tired of just sitting and waiting, knowing there was a predator out there stalking us and quite ready to destroy us. Life sucks…and then you die. A few seconds later I heard the revving of an engine and another vehicle slowly pulled into view before pulling to a halt. It was a rather large and impressive black top-kick truck.
"Friend or enemy?" I questioned and Sunstreaker seemed to groan slightly.
"Well he's on the same side, but I don't think I'm considered his friend due to one too many pranks," the car hissed through the radios. I noticed a rather attractive man climb out of the truck as well. He was in regular everyday clothes. White t-shirt, tennis shoes, worn jeans and some kind of work boots. He also had on a black baseball cap and sunglasses. He had slightly tanned skin from too many hours in the sun and I could see muscles on him so he must work out or had a job that was very physical. He had brown hair that definitely had a military cut about it. He was definitely not an average every-day guy. He scanned the area and I made a move to climb out of Sunstreaker who didn't open his door.
"What's wrong?" I questioned with concern and scanned the area. I didn't see anything of concern though.
"You said earlier you were worried about your government locking you away…I cannot assure you that they will if you are not with me," the car suddenly said and I could hear some kind of emotion warring with his voice. This was definitely out of his character, I could tell that much.
"Look Sunstreaker. You've done enough already…what happens next was going to happen anyways…Besides, I don't need to burden you anymore than I already have," I pointed out and he seemed to take some time thinking about it. The man didn't approach us, he was leaning against the truck with arms crossed over his chest and apparently waiting for us to make the first real move towards him. I mean, it was pretty obvious I was having a conversation with the car from where he was across the street. "This will get you back to your leader or whatever and he'll update you on whatever you need to probably now…and…hopefully you'll find your twin." I rested my hand reassuringly on the steering wheel and that seemed to settle things for Sunstreaker who popped his door open for me. I climbed out and grabbed my duffle-bag, looping it over me as best as possible considering I still couldn't use my right arm. I did my best to limp over to the man beside the truck while Sunstreaker followed even more slowly behind me.
"Hello. I'm Major Lennox. Will Lennox," he said and offered me a hand to shake. I made a little gesture at my right arm sheepishly and he frowned.
"We were attacked by some freaky car called Lockdown and his little sidekick Rumble," I explained and Lennox's eyes narrowed. "I have multiple wounds thanks to the little guy…but Lockdown is still here and looking for Sunstreaker." I gestured back at the yellow car that sat silently near the black truck. "So he needs to be taken care of and made fully functional."
"We'll take care of it," Lennox said and I met his gaze. He seemed so sure of himself really. He smiled kindly at me and opened the passenger door of the truck. "Come on…I need to get you to medical attention." I sighed and climbed in, accepted help from Lennox to get situated and buckled myself in. Lennox climbed in and rested his hands on the steering wheel but didn't do much else as the truck drove itself. Okay. That was still pretty creepy. "So what's your name and how do you know Sam?" This felt like an informal interrogation now.
"I'm Vivian Summers and I went to high school with Sam. We were pretty good friends until he got his car and started dating Mikaela. He just didn't seem to have time for anyone else so I spent my time with Miles. I've kept in touch with him though," I replied with a half shrug. "I've worked some odd jobs here and there to try to make some money and attend community college."
"How'd you come across Sunstreaker?" Lennox asked, seeming to scan the area carefully as they drove on.
"Well, I worked part-time at this book store for this old lady…who owned him or something…I don't really know how that one worked…but she wrote me a check for a lot of money and gave me the car pretty much because she thought I needed to go see the world and stuff. Really pretty nice of her and I'm sure that's about the luckiest thing that happened to me before…then again I've got killer robots fighting each other so I'm not sure how much luck that really is," I muttered trailing off.
"Do you have any family?" He demanded, taking out his phone and typing something into it. Good thing he wasn't really driving.
"None. My mom wasn't close to her side of the family and they never approved of her running off with my dad to begin with so I never met them. She died about two years ago and my dad walked out on us when I was just born so I don't even know who he is," I replied and Lennox glanced over at me.
"I'm sorry…Look, Sam is able to talk now if you'd like to speak to him…and this line is completely secure," he informed me and one of my eyebrows rose as he pressed a button before handing it over.
"Hey Lennox. What's up?" Sam's voice suddenly asked.
"Sam, It's Vivian," I cut in, feeling like crying suddenly as I held the phone to my ear.
"Vivian…What's the matter?" he asked, seeming really concerned now. I could hear him talking to people in the background before the noise died down. "Sorry, had to go somewhere quieter…Everything alright? I kind of heard in a rough rundown that you came in contact with some Decepticons and were with an Autobot. How you hanging?"
"…I feel like the worlds gone insane," I murmured quietly and I heard him chuckle slightly.
"Yeah. Life does that. It's weird…trust me. If you're with Lennox and Ironhide, you're in the safest place possible…Did you get hurt?" he asked and I could hear voices picking up in the background. "Hang on… No, no more tests please. I'm fine. Yes…Well can I please finish this phone call?...thank you." I heard him mutter darkly under his breath before he got back to me. "Sorry…it's kind of crazy here. Look…I'm going to try and see if I can at least arrange for us to meet up…Most likely their going to try to pay you off and return you to a normal life…as normal as one can get…with little to no contact with the Autobots…probably for the best anyways."
"Yeah," I murmured, glancing into the side mirror to watch Sunstreaker driving behind us. An idea suddenly occurred to me and I kept it at the front of my brain. "So…I got into a little fight with this little robot thing called Rumble…who shoots little discs out…So I tried to hit him with a baseball bat and only succeeded in breaking one of the red lights on his head before he fled…and totally flipped me off." I heard Sam chuckle again.
"Yeah…that would've been his optics…which are like eyes. So you blinded him in one eye," Sam told me and trailed off," Look…you're going to be fine okay. I don't know what's going to happen now, but you are going to be absolutely fine."
"Sam…I don't feel like I'm going to be fine. That thing was going to end up killing me even though it said it wasn't. Sam, it liked pain. And that really big one called Lockdown, yeah. He got in a fight with Sunstreaker and was going to kill him…I could just tell…I mean, he didn't because Sunstreaker managed to rip one of his arms off but…Sam, he found us again…what's to say he won't keep doing it? I mean sure, he's after Sunstreaker right. Can you honestly say everything is just going to go back to normal? I don't even think I can sleep with that on my brain right now…," I was rambling and I knew it, but Sam was letting me and so was Major Lennox but I could tell he was listening to me as well. I sighed, closing my eyes but ended up opening them again anyways.
"Yeah…you'll probably have nightmares for about three weeks or something…but it gets better," Sam informed me.
"How?" I demanded and was met with a loud sigh.
"Well…for me, it's because I had Bumblebee and Mikaela…I had a support system," Sam murmured quietly and I could tell he was looking at them from the way his voice had changed," I had the Autobots to talk to for a little while there…and I even made it to college." I winced as I remembered something.
"Sam…I'm sorry," I suddenly said sharply and Sam paused from whatever he was about to say," I …There was this weird girl that gave me the creeps that came into a bookstore. She was blonde and well…just creepy. She was asking a lot of questions about you for this bogus report she was doing…and I kind of told her offhandly that you were at college…and…" I trailed off, knowing he'd figure out what I meant.
"…Its okay. You didn't mean it," Sam offered kindly and I heard voices in the background. "Looks like I'm about to have to go get some more tests done."
"Oh…I'm sorry," I murmured and then recalled my idea," WAIT! Don't hang up…Can you…Well, I'm not sure how this is going to work out…But I think Sunstreaker needs this…Can you put your cell on like speaker on something and give it to someone called Sideswipe?"
"…heh, yeah…Hang on," Sam said and I could tell he was moving," HEY SIDESWIPE! Yeah, hey…Sunstreaker is fine but my friend Vivian wants to try something since it's going to take them a while to get here…You game?" There was a loud pause then the phone sounded oddly on speakerphone.
"Hello?" a new voice questioned.
"Alright Vivian," Sam said with a chuckle," This is Sideswipe…plus most of the hanger alright but they're being pretty discreet. I have to go get tested again because they don't think I'm fine anymore. Listen, you're going to be fine okay. Don't worry."
"Alright Sam," I murmured then looked over at Lennox who raised an eyebrow questioningly. "Can you pull over please?" He nodded as Ironhide pulled to the side and I climbed out and headed over to Sunstreaker with the cellphone. I leaned over to set the phone down in his console.
"What are you doing?" Sunstreaker asked, seeming confused. I rolled my eyes.
"Letting you talk to your twin," I replied, switching the cell to speaker," Alright Sideswipe. The phone is on speaker over here that way Sunstreaker can speak with you…Play nice." I said with a smirk and leaned back up to go. There was an awful noise thing again but it was coming from the phone, but then Sunstreaker let out similar noise through his radio and I realized it must be their native language as they talked. I headed back to Ironhide and climbed inside, shutting the door. I realized Lennox was giving me an odd look. "What?"
"I agree with Ironhide…that was pretty smart," Lennox said, still having the same weird look on his face as Ironhide pulled out to leave. I gave a retarded half-shrug since my arm still wasn't working correctly. I really hoped it'd be fixed and back to normal but I had a feeling recovery time wasn't going to be perfect. The trip took over two hours, even at the increased speeds at which Ironhide seemed to travel. We suddenly approached what looked like a regular military base. Lennox flashed some kind of I.D. at the guard and we drove through followed by Sunstreaker. Lennox took us to some kind of hanger where we climbed out of Ironhide who promptly transformed into a very large and scary looking robot with what looked like a rather sinister weapon attached to him. I headed over to Sunstreaker to grab the phone back for Lennox as he transformed and headed off with Ironhide inside the hanger, seeming to be looking for someone. That someone was a very silver looking robot that seemed similar to Sunstreaker in an odd way. Maybe it turned into a corvette as well?
"VIVIAN!" a female voice cried out and suddenly I was attacked. I shrieked startled and managed to fall over on my ass in an attempt to evade the sudden contact. Mikaela stared down at me in confusion and I just shook my head, pushing up with my left arm in an attempt to get back up. "What happened to your other arm?" She inquired, eyes narrowing intuitively. I gave a half-shrug still seated on the ground.
"Hi. My day's been going pretty okay. Thanks for asking," I replied with an exaggerated eye roll as another robot came over. This one was enormous with a red and blue paint-job with flames on him. Enormous. He was followed by another smaller than him robot with a green paint-job and what looked like lines on him that were similar to ones found on medical vehicles.
"Optimus, my scans aren't complete yet," the green robot complained, taking a step closer to the large one who stopped near us. I noticed Lennox was coming over as well to help me up, but he wasn't alone. He grabbed me and scooped me up completely into his arms as another person approached me. They had something in their hand.
"HEEEEY~!" I shrieked, trying to struggle with Lennox when something sharp seemed to pinch my arm. "Ow…what the hell was that…for?" I asked, blinking a few times as the world suddenly started to spin.
"A sedative," the other guy replied and I noticed a medical sign on his uniform," To help you relax. We have to get you into surgery for your arm immediately before the nerves die completely and cannot be reconnected. Do you understand this?" I blinked stupidly a few times and Mikalea was suddenly in my face, trying to talk to me. Then she looked angry at the medical guy who seemed to be freaking out slightly. The world slowly slipped away from me and the last thing I remember seeing was glancing up at the rather large robot who simply loomed over us. He seemed to grow closer and more clear then everything else before I was swallowed by darkness.
Just because the darkness had consumed my body physically, my mind was very much alert. I was dreaming now. I was sure. I was in a very large field with…wheat? Yeah. Amber waves of grain and a rather large blue sky overhead. It was clear and I couldn't quite see a sun anywhere but it was extremely light outside and I was wearing a long flow-y white sun-dress that was strapless. I was barefooted too and headed off into the distance. The amber fields gave way to green ones and I could see a large cliff. So I headed for it. The rest of the world was white here…seeming to just end completely. Things seemed to call out to me from there, but I couldn't quite make out the sound of it. They promised happiness and peace. I swallowed nervously, wondering briefly if I was dead now.
"Wouldn't go that way little lady," a voice suddenly spoke out. It was very smooth and kind of pleasing to the ear to listen to. Not totally deep but still down in that octave range and very definitely a males. I whirled around, looking for something and spotted a large robot figure sitting farther away from me underneath a very large and tall tree. But he wasn't an extremely large robot. He was fairly large but not frightening of course. "Not if you're looking for a way back you know." He spoke with a definite accent that I couldn't quite place either.
"Way back where?" I asked, coming closer to him. I wasn't afraid of him. I don't know why not. My experience with large robots weren't a pleasant one.
"Back to the life you came from…if there's a way back for you," he replied and made a slight gesture around us," This is like an inbetween…a waiting place of sorts I reckon. If you had a way of going back, you came here and waited…or moved on if you were completely done and didn't want to wait…" He was silver and seemed to have a visor of some sort that flickered with a blue light. "It's rather relaxing here…"
"Seems kind of lonely," I said and wrapped my arms around myself.
"That is true," he said tipping his head slightly to the side, and patted the ground," Why don't you sit down until you're called back hunh?" I smiled slightly and went to sit beside him.
"Are we dead?" I asked and he tilted his head the other way as if thinking on it.
"I suppose we are…I mean…I'm fairly certain I am but see…if they could fix me, I'd be back in a jiffy," he said with a nod of his head and a smile that seemed to light up his entire being. I smiled seeing as how it was contagious. "As for you…I have a feeling you're only slightly dead and will return fairly soon." He chuckled and I liked the sound of it. Very pleasant.
"…How long will you be here?" I asked him, growing worried.
"Until the world is ready for me to come back," he replied as if it made all the sense in the world.
"Wow…you have major patience," I murmured and propped my chin up on my knee, wrapping my arms around my legs. Oh! I could use my right arm again. I glanced over at the robot figure. "My name is Vivian Summers…yours?"
"Jazz," he said with a little laugh," Nice to meet you Vivian." He seemed to sigh slightly and tilted his head," You know what I miss here…Music…I mean, I got myself to sing and play but there's just something about it that seems and feels so fake…you know?" He turned his head to look at me," Say, do you like music?"
"Yes," I replied with a shy smile.
"Would you do me a favor and sing me a song before you go?" he asked and I bit back a giggle.
"What do you want to hear?" I asked and he tilted his head.
"Surprise me," He said then cut me off," And I don't care if it's not a happy song…I want something meaningful to you alright? Sing it with your soul. Those are always the best ones…" He trailed off, obviously waiting for something from me.
I took a deep breath and slowly began a song,"
Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home
I stared out into the white expansion, wondering briefly how long I would actually be stuck here. I mean, I wanted to live sure but it was peaceful here. Oddly enough. I mean, even with this Jazz guy that I'd never seen before in my entire life so to speak.
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
I glanced back over at Jazz to see what he seemed to think of my choice in song but he had his head titled back to rest against the tree as if he were simply listening. Odd behavior, but I guess I'd be the same if I'd been here as long as he had. I was struck sad by this note now.
Some say I'm crazy for my love, Oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side, Oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
And I can't love you anymore than I do
I took a deep breath, swaying slightly as I listened to the odd ghost songs of music playing around me. This was the music instrumental though and I could almost hear the song singing to me now. I closed my eyes, listening for my cue to join back in.
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
And I can't love you anymore than I do
People die, but real love is forever," I finished off with a sad smile and glanced back over at Jazz again who was looking at me. I couldn't see any eyes but I just knew he was staring at me as if memorizing this moment. Maybe recording it? He was an alien robot technically.
"That was real pretty," he murmured then tilted his head again," Looks like its time for you to go back now." I stood up and looked around, seeing a door had appeared randomly in the field. I glanced at Jazz nervously. "Go on…you'll wake up and this will seem like nothing but an odd dream…you probably won't even remember it."
"What about you?" I asked, voice catching slightly. He smiled at me gently this time and tilted his head again to the other side.
"I'll be here…and I'll remember you. Don't you worry about that," He told me and frowned slightly," You might wanna go now though so you can get back on time…Go on…Don't worry about me. I've been here for a while now, I don't think I'm going anywhere too soon." He smiled at me as if he'd told me a joke and I took a reluctant step to the door before screwing up enough courage to open the door. The last thing I heard was Jazz's voice echoing. "Oh, and tell the others I said hello." Then it was darkness all around me.
End Note: AH HA. Look what I did there guys…and this chapter has become significantly LONGER…*glances at it* Where did you grow so long? *shrugs* Hope you enjoy as usual.
