CHAPTER TWELVE
New Moon
***
Angelina's show turned out to be the best thing I've been to in a long while, even if it was at ten o'clock at night, and she only had an hour to get ready for it! You might think that kids at an R&B concert is a bad idea, but I heard of a man who took his young son to a Disturbed heavy metal concert (A/N Meg: I know, I was there!), so this was no big deal. Everyone was really cool about it, and besides, with me and Star there, NOTHING was going to happen. Unless you counted Star glaring at a drunk man, and then the man running away from Starscream's Glare Of Doom.
And the girl's LOVED it when Angelina dedicated her newest song, New Moon, to them. The song was about something weird, but who cared? We didn't, and no one else seemed to care either.
The girls had a great time, and Starscream and I found ourselves promising to take the girls to more of Angelina's concerts – wait, what!?
"How did that happen?" I wondered, as Star and I took the girls outside.
"Uh, who knows?" He replied.
Angelina suddenly sprinted towards us. "Hi guys!" She said, and then softened her voice when she saw the twins were sleeping, Shooting Star on my back and Honey Bee in her Father's arms (I was starting to see that they would get along very well from now on). "Did you like the show?"
"Yes." Star and I replied in unison.
Angelina grinned. "May not be mah place ta' say it, but you two are cute together."
I blushed. Starscream smirked,
Suddenly, I happened to glance down. "Oh no!" I cried. "Th…my necklace pouch!" The pouch with the Matrix in it was gone! I said: "I have to go back and get it!" I couldn't lose it now! Stupid mosh pit!
"That pouch you've been wearing around your neck since Egypt?" Starscream sounded puzzled, but he handed Honey Bee to Anglina. "I'll go and get it, I know what it looks like." He turned and sprinted into the building.
I looked at Angelina. "Remember those friends I told you about? The Autobots?" She nodded. "I think that with my twins here, they'll be able to find me now – Bee will probably get here first."
"Oh…" Angelina replied, understanding. "Think it'll end bad for ya?"
I shrugged as best I could with a sleeping child on my back. "Who knows? I sure as hell don't…" We smiled then. I Sure As Hell Don't was one of Angelina's songs.
Then, she and I both looked up into the sky.
"Whoa," Angelina said. "Lookit THIS motherf…"
I cut her off. "It's Fhantom!" I hissed. There was nothing I could do, nowhere I could go. I wanted to yell, but my mouth was suddenly frozen. Starscream…help us!
The black, red and white vampire-Decepticon…thing…landed on the ground, and I was thankful that no one else was around. "Good evening ladies," He said, not transforming out of his alte mode. "I shall make this brief, as I can see your seeker friend is not around…"
My jaw unlocked. "Why the slag are you here, Fhantom?" I asked him, motioning to Angelina to take Shooting Star, which she did.
He chuckled. "Why, Emma my dear, I have come for you, of course. Why else would I come all the way out here on a night with no moon?" His red optics glittered strangely, and they seemed to draw me forward.
I took a step, and then I stopped. I drew in a deep breath. "All I have to do is yell for Starscream, and he'll be here in an instant, Fhantom."
Fhantom's red optics glittered then. "Ah, but you have not called for him, have you?"
I took another step forward, and then another. I didn't know why. "I…cannot." I said finally. Another step. "Something is stopping me from doing this…" I was strangely drawn towards his red optics, and for the life of me I knew not why. He was like a snake, or an anglerfish, drawing me in. His smooth, soft voice, his bat-like wings glittering in the streelights. Those wings…they seemed like a cape…he truly was a vampire…
Wait, hadn't Edward Cullen mentioned that all the sexy things about him made him the perfect predator?
I gulped…and took another step forward. I couldn't top myself from doing this.
"But I can!" Angelina suddenly yelled, breaking me out of my trance. She took a deep breath: "STARSCREAM, A VAMPIRE DECEPTICON IS ABOUT TA' STEAL YA WIFE!!!!" She grinned. "Hope he heard that (strained mah vocal chords, it did)."
Oh, thank you Angelina. I think half of Detroit heard you.
It didn't matter because Starscream transformed, and crashed through the building. He threw something to me, and I caught it.
It was my necklace pouch. The Matrix dust was still inside of it.
Fhantom moved forward with surprising speed, and struck Starscream in the chest plate, dangerously close to my spark-mate's spark. Starscream crashed into the building opposite, and that unlocked me completely.
"ANGELINA, TAKE CARE OF THE TWINS AND THIS!!" I shouted to her, throwing the Matrix pouch to her, which she caught.
I then ran forward and transformed, determined to stop this vampire freak from draining the life force out of my spark-mate!
Well, one of my spark-mates.
I managed to stop Fhantom from putting Screamer offline permanently…but I never saw the stasis lock coming until it was too late.
With a scream, I fell, unable to move as the pain enveloped me. I landed in Fhantom's hand, and then he opened up a dimensional gate.
"EMMA, NO!!" I heard Starscream yell.
I couldn't even answer him, but the last thing I saw before I blacked out was the moon…or, well, the lack of it.
The night had never seemed more beautiful before.
What
has come over me
What madness taken hold of my heart
To run
away, the only answer
Pulling me away
To run and find
The
source of my recovery
Sweet shadow taking hold of the light
Another day has been devoured
Calling me away, begging a
question why
For
saving me from all they've taken
Letting my honor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over
now,
On
a path to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing
In
a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In
front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond
containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of
your life
Give into the night
This
self discovery
Redemption taking hold of my mind
A serenade
of haunting voices
Calling me away
To feast upon the
night
The source of my felicity
Dark maiden taking hold of my
hand
Lead me away from hibernation
Strong and unafraid
Never
a question why
For
saving me from all they've taken
Letting my horror fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over
now,
I'm
about to take it away
There be no better way of knowing
In
a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In
front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond
containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of
your life
Give into the night
Give in to the night
In
a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In
front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond
containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of
your life
Give
into the night
Night
Night
Night
Give into the night
Night
Night
Night
Give
into the night
Give into the night…
