LOVE NEVER DIES

Chapter 4 Assassin

Ava woke up seeing Skyfire at her side still recharging.

She may have been a sex wanting girl in the heat of the moment but when it came down to it she was sweet at heart too.

Lust wasn't the only thing that made her attracted to Skyfire.

She also liked his personality.

Skyfire was serious when he needed to be and fun during other occasions just like Ava was.

Skyfire's optics finally lit up.

"Morning sunshine. How'd you sleep?" Ava asked.

"Better than I use to." Skyfire replied.

"Come on let's get up." Ava said getting off the recharge bed.

"Alright but Bumblebee better not give me that thumbs up sign again." Skyfire said.

"Don't worry." Ava replied."Sooner or later we move on and try to find something else of interest."

Minutes later Ava was walking towards the TV when she saw Katrina was heading in the same direction.

The two stared at each other in a challenge.

Then they sprinted towards the spot trying to outrun each other.

But luck be it they touched the remote at the same time.

The two went into a tug of war over it.

"Give it up Katrina! I'm not watching another soap opera!" Ava said trying to pull it out of her hands.

"I'm not watching another bland comedy!" Katrina replied refusing to let go.

"You know if we keep this up it's going to break!" Ava said.

"Plus it's not our property." Katrina added.

"Can't you two just agree on something?" Ironhide asked as he walked by.

"Can we?" Katrina asked her sister.

"Alright let's try to truce." Ava said.

"Fine we'll watch a comedy but I get to choose it." Katrina said.

"Deal." Ava replied.

Ava flipped through channels and waited for Katrina to accept one.

But nothing seemed to impress her.

That is until they got to one channel where a show was beginning.

The words Roseanne appeared on the screen along with a saxophone tune.

Following that was an intro of the characters by showing them all at a kitchen table interacting with each other.

At the same time the camera was spinning making sure all of them were seen.

When the intro was over it was only a matter of seconds before the humor appeared.

Now Ava wasn't the only one being amused.

Katrina was laughing hard at it too.

"Okay I pick this one!" Katrina said after recovering from the laughter.

"Boy where has this been all my life!" Ava said.

The show only got better from there.

When it was over Ava turned towards Katrina.

"I'm glad today's the day we decided to Truce." She said.

"Boy I never thought I'd see something that awesome!" Katrina replied.

"Well now I want to get out and feel some fresh oxygen." Ava said.

"We'd better get Optimus's permission first." Katrina said.

"You always have to be the saint huh?" Ava asked.

The two found Optimus and Bumblebee working on some kind of machinery.

It looked like a backpack or a jetpack.

"Optimus, Ava and I want to go out for a while. Is that okay with you?" Katrina asked.

Optimus didn't like the idea of them running into trouble especially if he didn't know it but he also hated being called a strict leader and he hated to keep the others from their enjoyment.

Most of all he hated to say no to a face like Katrina's.

"Alright but be careful." Optimus said.

"Thanks." Katrina said smiling.

Optimus liked that smile.

"Yeah thanks for not being strict." Ava added.

The two then left.

"You like her don't you Optimus?" Bumblebee asked.

"I beg your pardon?" Optimus asked.

"You're in love with her aren't you?" Bumblebee asked.

Optimus was pretty sure he knew who Bumblebee was referring too so he decided to try to throw him off guard.

"Bumblebee she's already with Jetfire and I-"He started.

"Not Ava." Bumblebee replied. "Katrina."

Just as Optimus had thought.

And indeed Optimus did feel some connection with her.

Just half of the feeling it gave him was greater than any other connection he had felt combined.

"I wish to keep some mystery between me and my forces." Optimus replied. "That's all I'm saying. Now pass me the wrench please."

It felt good for Ava and Katrina to get out into the open.

There was a forest very close by the base and there were no humans for miles around it.

Trees were not unfamiliar plants to the two.

They had grown on their old planet as well.

Sometimes the two like to walk through places like this to talk about things that only each other would hear and to be in a peaceful surrounding with very little sound to ruin the moment.

"So what was it like getting raped?" Katrina asked her sister.

"He didn't rape me. I allowed him to do that." Ava replied.

"Don't you think that's a little slutty?" Katrina asked.

"Why?" Ava asked.

"Well you two haven't even gone on a date yet and already you just jump into bed with him?" Katrina asked.

"Well Katrina I may be your younger sister but there are things I know that you don't." Ava said. "One of them is this subject. Dating is truthfully just an optional activity. It would only be slutty if I jumped into bed with him after knowing him for a couple of days or worst if we both just met. But Skyfire and I knew each other for more than a month. We know each other's personalities; we know each other's plans."

Katrina listened to her sister. She was actually making a pretty good point.

"When it comes down to it sex isn't a sin as long as you're really in love and you're willing to go through with commitment." Ava said.

"You know Ava you actually have a real point there." Katrina said.

"Don't doubt your little sister." Ava said.

"So how was it?" Katrina asked.

"How was what?" Ava asked.

"The love making." Katrina replied.

"Oh, well he's an excellent kisser, good energy, and pretty well sized below his waist." Ava said.

"How many times have you done it now?" Katrina asked.

"About three" Ava replied.

"Including the one I saw?" Katrina asked.

"That one didn't count. You stopped it at the climax." Ava said.

"Again Ava, you should have locked the door." Katrina said.

"I figured the moans would give you a hint." Ava said.

"There are so many things you moan over." Katrina said.

"Name four" Ava said.

"When you wake up, when you feel terrible, when you are bored, and when you see something that upsets you." Katrina answered.

"You have to point out everything don't you?" Ava asked.

It continued like this for some time.

"Well we better get home before the others get worried." Katrina said eventually.

When they arrived back to base no one was home.

"Optimus?" Katrina called.

"Guys" Ava called as well.

Katrina noticed something by the entrance.

"Isn't that a message box?" Ava asked.

"I think so" Katrina replied.

She picked the object up and indeed it was.

Katrina played the message and Optimus's voice spoke.

"Katrina, Ava, the other autobots and I have gone on a mission. I decided to let you two pass on this one seeing as you're still new. We probably won't be back until sundown. In the meantime make yourselves at home and don't worry about us."

"You just love hearing his voice don't you?" Ava asked.

"Well it is soothing." Katrina admitted.

Neither Ava nor Katrina knew that someone was watching them through a window.

A soft but angry growl escaped the femme-bot's vocals.

She had been stalking them for a while now.

Her anger was great towards Katrina.

Her assignment was to only greatly wound her but she had other plans.

Katrina was getting to close to her ex for her to accept.

"You do love Optimus don't you?" Ava asked.

"Well to tell the truth…yes I do." Katrina said.

The stalker growled again only this time louder.

"I knew it!" Ava said.

"But he's a mighty autobot leader willing to do almost anything to save the earth. He has so many things that make a difference in life. What good am I to him?" Katrina said.

"Come on Katrina, spine is one of the most important things to have when it comes to relationships." Ava said. If you have no spine then there's no way you'll ever get closer to a man."

"You know I have very little spine after what we have lived through." Katrina said.

"Is that why you don't fight as hard as you use to?" Ava asked.

"Exactly." Katrina said.

An evil smile grinned on the stalker's face.

"Why do you give into that?" Ava asked. "I mean when you're at full spirit you're dynamite but now suddenly you're the girl who tries but gets beaten?"

"What is the point to fighting if everything fighting for is gone?" Katrina asked.

"Well I-" Ava started

Then Ava's eye spotted something outside.

The stalker now realized that she had been thinking about how to deal with Katrina so hard she didn't notice how much she was revealing herself in the window.

Her attention was returned as soon as one of the two spotted her.

"Hey" Ava said pointing at the window.

"What?" Katrina asked when she looked but there was no one there.

"I just saw another femme-bot." Ava said.

"Are you sure it wasn't our reflection or something?" Katrina asked.

"She was pink. Neither one of us are pink." Ava said.

Ava ran outside and over to the spot where she saw the femme-bot and Katrina followed.

"Look!" She said again.

This time Katrina saw her too. The unknown female ran into the same forest they came out of.

"Do you think she could be an autobot?" Ava asked.

"I don't know." Katrina said.

"What should we do?" Ava asked.

"You stay here and I'll follow her. If the others arrive back before I do tell them what happened and where I went." Katrina said.

"Alright." Ava said.

Katrina then entered the forest after the unknown female.

Ava prayed that she wouldn't be long.

The stalking female robot looked back to see Katrina was now coming towards the forest as well.

This was just what she was hoping for.

She then started to lead Katrina towards a trap.

Upon entering Katrina saw a trail of footprints leading deeper and deeper into the forest.

Katrina was having second thoughts but she still felt then need to explore.

Meanwhile the other autobots were just getting to a battles conclusion. A few hours ago they received word that Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Starscream were about to attack a nearby city. The autobots managed to intercept them before they came into view of the civilians.

By now the autobots had successfully won the battle.

"You have fallen Starscream." Optimus said aiming his rifle at the downed decepticon.

"Thankfully for our records, this wasn't our true plan Prime." Starscream replied.

"What are you talking about?" Skyfire asked.

"You really didn't think we'd just attack this city for no reason did you?" Starscream asked.

"Maybe out of pure fun." Jazz said.

"We needed some plan to lure you away from those females." Starscream said. "The assassin is probably already completing the mission."

"Assassin?" Skyfire asked worried.

Meanwhile Katrina continued searching the forest.

The footprints lead toward a large tree and then disappeared.

Katrina looked up the tree they walked into but no one was in it.

Then a thought crossed her mind.

What if the femme-bot had walked backwards over her footprints to lead her into a different area?

Now that she looked at it the footprints did look like they were stepped on twice.

Katrina was now completely off the mech's trail.

But it wouldn't remain like that for long.

She then heard footsteps.

Katrina looked in the direction they came from but saw nothing.

Again she heard them from 180 degrees behind her.

And again when she looked no one was there.

Again this happened for about 3 more time.

Then she felt a gun barrel press against her back.

"Don't move!" A female voice said.

Katrina turned to see who it was.

The female-bot then slammed the gun against her back knocking Katina into the ground.

"You stupid wench." She said. "I told you not to move."

Katrina saw that it was indeed the femme-bot she was after.

She had pink and white color combos. Her head was in the design of a woman with odd shaped hair. Two ends pointed up like antenna only they were much bigger around; also there was something that looked like a visor on her forehead.

Two stacks rose out of her shoulders like Optimus. In her hand she held a large black pistol like weapon. On her chest it looked like an autobot symbol was originally placed but now there was a decepticon symbol printed over it.

"Time for payback." She said with an evil smile.

Back at the autobot base Ava waited for someone to come.

Ava had always been afraid of being left alone. It was a fear that plagued her since day 1.

She felt better as soon as she saw the Autobots returning.

"Ava! Thank Primus you're in one piece!" Skyfire said.

"Well glad to see you care but what are you talking about?" Ava asked.

"Didn't someone try to kill you?" Bumblebee asked.

"No why?" Ava asked.

"We were told that someone was heading to base to eliminate you and…" Jazz started but then realized that someone was missing."

"Where is Katrina?" Optimus asked.

"She went into the forest." Ava said.

"Why?" Optimus asked confused.

"Well we were having a conversation when I saw someone outside the window." Ava said.

"Who did you see?" Ratchet asked.

"It looked like another Femme-bot." Ava said. "I didn't get a perfect look at her but she was pink and white, and a visor on her forehead."

The other autobots had a look of concern in their eyes.

"Optimus do you think it's?" Bumblebee asked.

"Yes" Optimus replied. "I do think its Elita."

"Elita?" Ava asked.

"Elita-1 is Prime's ex." Ironhide said. "She's a shrew."

"Optimus, what do you think she'll do to Katrina?" Prowl asked.

"That is exactly what I'm worried about." Optimus replied.

"What are you saying?" Ava asked worried.

"Ava calm down." Skyfire said rubbing her shoulders in an attempt to make her feel better.

It was doing no good.

"Are you telling me my sister is in danger?" Ava asked now really worried.

"I don't want to alarm you but I'm afraid that might be exactly the scenario." Optimus said.

"What?" Ava yelled. "My sister hasn't been in good spirit since what happened to our parents! She can't fight at her full potential at that point! She'll be killed!"

"Calm down sweetspark." Skyfire said.

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!" Ava yelled. "THE LAST MEMBER OF MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER! IF SHE DIES THEN WHO DO I HAVE LEFT TO LOOK UP TO?"

"You always have me." Skyfire said.

"Thanks but it's not enough." Ava said. "Katrina and I have grown so close."

"I better get to her before it's too late." Optimus said.

He then ran outside and into the forest.
