PS if you wanna special mention you better review!
Sams POV
I feel terrible as I walk toward the Med-Bay, not because I feel sick but because Clem had heard me say she was a freak. What was I going to say? I ran through different options in my head " Hey Clem its Sam I didnt mean to say you were a freak I meant to say geek" but geek wasnt much better than freak, I concluded.
So I would just tell her the truth.
When I enter the Med-Bay Ratchet was busy puzzling over some test results.
'Hey Ratch, have you seen Clem?' I ask.
'She's at the shooting range.'
'Thanks.'
When I walk out of the Med-Bay I wonder why Ratchet looked so puzzled. Which test results were they? Almost nothing ever puzzled Ratchet.
When I arrive at the door to the shooting range I hear a loud BAM and a whoop of encouragement which I think came from Ironhide.
I take a deep breath and push the door open.
Clem and Ironhide both turn around.
Clems face saddens slightly and she says 'Oh, hey Sam...'
'Hey Clem can I talk to you for a moment?' I ask her.
'Oh, sure.'
She sounded timid and slightly worried.
'So, you heard me talking to Mikaela last night.' I said.
She shifted uncomfortably before saying 'Yes.'
'Well you should know I was lying to Mikaela. You heard her, she was jealous so I said it to make her feel better I didnt mean any of it.'
'Oh' she says.
'So are we still friends?' I ask in my best hopeful voice.
'Still friends.' and she smiles her stunning smile and I find myself temporarily frozen.
'Uhhhh...' Wow what a smart thing for me to say. 'So Ironhide's teaching you how to shoot.'
'Yep.' she said almost proudly.
'Can you show me what he's taught you so far?'
She grinned and turned to face the targets.
Clems POV
I Clem Connor, could not be more happy.
I had caring friends who didnt think I was a freak, I had a great guardian who is an awesome teacher and I didnt feel miserable 24/7 anymore.
That night after dinner Ironhide and I were looking at stars and every now and then he would point out a cybertronian constellation.
I was vaguely paying attention as he taps his audio and says
'Really? already? ok ok we'll come in a minute.'
'Who were you talking to?' I wonder out loud.
'Ratchet. He has the results ready and he wants to check something.
'Oh. So are we going back to the Med-Bay?' I didnt really want to go back. I didnt like people looking at me. It just didnt feel right.
'Yes' he replied.
I sigh and then stand up.
OOOoooOOOoOooOoooOOOooo
Clems POV
When we arrive at the Med-Bay Optimus is there, talking to Ratchet.
'So did you find out what Clems mark means?' Optimus asked Ratchet.
'Well all the results lead me to believe that it means what we originally thought. Clem will be able to spark sparklings and possibly even ressurect offlined bots.'
I'm shocked again. Ressurect? I suddnely found myself wondering quite selfishly if I had any choice to do this. I did want to help the Autobots but I wanted to see my gran every now and then as well.
'Clem' said Optimus 'I realize now we've done this out of order. We should have asked if you were willing to do this as it is not sonething we will force upon you, it is a great responsibility. So, are you, indeed willing to act as the Allspark?'
I didnt hesitate to answer. 'Of course! I would love to help in any way I can.'
Optimus gives me a grateful look 'Thankyou you will be able to help our race more than I can say.'
'So is that all you wanted to say..?' Ironhide was obviously just as sick of the Med-Bay as I was.
'No.' said Ratchet 'I have the body of a sparkling femme here and I just want to know if the test results were correct. Clem we want to see if you are able to spark a sparkling.'
'How? I dont know how to do that.' I said nervously
'You need to will it to live. You need to fill it with life and concentrate on it, you'll know if you've sucseeded or not .' Optimus said.
So I concentrated hard on the sparkling body in front of me, I imagined it being filled with life and acting just as a baby bot would.
I couldnt do it.
It wouldnt work.
'I cant do it.' I say.
'Try again' said Ratchet.
So I did. This time I concentrated on filling each nook and cranny with life and eventually I felt energy leave me and I watched as the little femme was sparked and her optics came online.
I gasped.
She was so cute.
She blinked her optics at me and then she looked at Ratchet and just kept staring at him.
'You did it Clem.' Optimus said 'You sparked the first sparkling ever to be sparked on earth.'
'Would you like to name her?' Ratchet offered
She blinked at me again showing off her perfect, blue but somehow fiery optics.
'Wildfir'e say slowly
'Wildfire.' Optimus repeated slowly 'Ratchet you may want to get her some energon.'
'Oh right...' Ratchet had quite obviously been lost in Wildfire's optics.
I stiffled a yawn.
'You need to get some recharge youngling' Optimus said softly
'Kay.' I replied and then walked out.
Then I realized Ironhide hadnt said anything to me since I sparked the sparkling. I turn around and he was speaking to Optimus in a worried tone. I caught a snippet of the conversation.
'Ironhide with you as her guardian, I cant imagine a safer human anywhere.' Optimus was reasurring a worried Ironhide.
I keep walking to my room.
He was worried for me.
As I slip under the blanket that night I wonder how my life could get any better.
I decided that next time I saw Mikaela I would try and make friends with her.
I was thinking happily about how my life had gotten so much better...and then of course I fell asleep.
AN ugh this chapter is haaard... anyway, I'll get on with it now
OoOoOOoooOoOOooooOoOoo
Decepticons Base: Normal POV
Megatron stomped grumpily off to find that stupid mech, Starscream he was supposed to have all the information on the little squishy, otherwise designated Clem, to him by 11: 30 it was now 1: 30 in the morning.
'Master! I have the information!' Starscream came running up to Megatron and handed him a little chip with everthing he had found out.
Megatron quickly downloaded it and read through it all.
An smile that was more like a snarl passed his lips.
'Exellent work Starscream we attack tommorow night when they least expect it.' Megatron said sneering with satisfaction.
'Yes master.'
AN: DUM DUM DUM DUMMMMMMMM
Clems POV
When I woke up the next morning although I didnt notice it, I no longer felt like I was a horrible little freak who everyone hated, I felt light and happy and actually put something really nice on since Optimus had arranged for some of my clothes and other nessesities to be sent.
So I put on khaki short shorts and a white tshirt with my hair tied up in a little ponytail.
My hand lingered over my scarf wondering if I should wear it, I decided against it and went to meet Ironhide at the shooting range as I had told him I would be there early today.
I stopped as I remembered I needed a gun to shoot so I doubled back to my room and grabbed it off of the little table that was quickly becoming my best friend.
When I reach the shooting range Ironhide was already practicing.
'Hey Ironhide.' I greeted him.
'Hello.' he said then he paused in surprise 'You're not wearing your scarf?'
I shrug and say 'Dont really need to. You all know its there so I cant hide it.'
He smiles in response. 'Are you ready to begin?'
'Definetely' I reply
'Okay then. We'll start you off with the stun setting again.'
I nod and set my gun, then I line up my aim with the target and fired.
It was a pretty good shot. I hit just below the blue area.
After about 4 more times of actually hitting the blue, Ironhide says 'hmmmmm...'
'What?' I ask
'Clem do you think you are ready to try the Kill setting?' he asks me seriously
'Uhhh I'm not sure...'
'Give it a try but before you start, I must warn you, its alot more powerful and harder to aim.'
What? I'd never be able to use it! but I didnt say this.
'Okayyy' I sounded nervous
'Set it to Kill and for Primus' sake be careful'
I set it to kill and lined up the gun with the target.
It was a direct hit!
Of the wall...
'Shitttttt...' I curse quietly.
There was a large hole in the wall through which I could see outside.
Thank God it was just an empty space rather than a populated one.
I hear someone yelling outside the door to the range.
'Uh oh' Ironhide could also hear them.
'What the hell just happened?' A man- I think his name is Mr Galloway comes storming into the room.
'Umm...' I didnt know what to say. I couldnt just tell him that I had made a giant hole in the wall.
Then he sees the hole.
'WHO BLEW A HOLE IN THE WALL?' he shouts furiously.
'Uhh...me' I say nervously.
He spins to look at me and does a double take.
'What are you still doing here?' he snarls, completely forgetting about the hole.
'Whattaya mean what am I still doing here? you brought me here.'
He glares. 'You little freak.'
I dont break down crying like a would've a few weeks ago, I just smirked at him, this man was a complete physcho.
But Ironhide wasnt smirking, he was now furious at Galloway.
'One more word Galloway...' he warns
He shoots one of the targets to present his point.
Galloway makes a sound like a mouse being trodden on.
I smirk again as Galloway leaves the room, still forgetting the hole.
I turn back to Ironhide.
'Umm what do I do about that?' I gesture towards the hole in the wall
Ironhide waved his hands in a dismissive gesture. 'Dont worry about it. Happens all the time.'
I smile and say 'Yeah I can imagine.'
Sams POV
I can hear Galloway yelling and ranting to Optimus about something.
The yelling and ranting isnt anything new, I just never knew it could be so iritating so of course, I had to know what was going on.
I was meeting Clem, Ironhide and Bee for lunch today so I would ask them all about it.
I look down at my watch it was 1:45.I should probably go meet them now.
When I am walking down the hall, I pass a few soldiers arguing about something. One of the soldiers is Will.
'You guys back off! shes just as normal as you or me.' Will was saying heatedly.
It didnt take me long to figure out they were talking about Clem.
'Well' one of the other soldiers began 'I heard she brought a little baby 'bot to life! So she cant be that normal.'
Lennox glares at the soldier 'Whatever just leave her alone.'
When I arrive Bumblebee waves entusiastically and motions for me to join them.
'Hi' Clem says happily.
I wonder what got her in such a good mood.
'Hey Clem, do you know whats got Galloway so upset?'
Ironhide snorts and begins to laugh.
'I kinda...maybe blew a hole...in the wall at the...range' Clem says looking down at her hands.
I snort too.
'Dont worry Clem Ironhide's done it countless times' Bumblebee laughs.
Clems POV
That night I found it hard to fall asleep.
I couldnt shake the feeling that something wasnt right.
As I finally doze off at about 11:30 I hear yelling and people running up and down, then not long after alarms are sounding.
I jump out of bed and pull on my jacket and a pair of jeans, pull on my sneakers, grab my gun- although I wouldnt use unless it was an emergency, and rush out the door.
It was horrible, Decepticons everywhere, some of them ripping humans apart and cackling, others battling Autobots and the rest seemed to be looking for something. I feel a pang of fear and realize they're looking for me.
I ran, hoping to find Ironhide.
And to my relief I spot Ironhide pounding up the hall toward me.
'Got your gun?' he asks me as he picks me up in his hand and begins to run again blasting the odd Decepticon.
'Yup.'
'I'm taking you to a safe place and we'll wait till this is over.'
I nod, feeling awful, to leave them here- while we wait.
'Your safety is the most important thing.' he says as though reading my thoughts.
As we run - well Ironhide runs, out of the building Ironhide immediately changes direction and heads toward the forrest.
I take a deep breath, inhaling the sweet scent of the night air, even in our current situation, I loved the smell.
When we are safely away from the battle, my fear kicks in all the way.
What if one of the Autobots get hurt?
What if we are found?
What if...?
There were countless things that could go wrong, I forced myself not to think about it.
I watch the battle in horror and I only stop when I hear Ironhide swear in Cybertronian.
I turn in surprise to see a horrifying sight.
'Still got your gun?' Ironhide says out of the corner of his mouth.
'Yeah'
He nods ' Cause I gotta feeling you'll need it'
I think he's right because there is not one, but two decpticons coming toward us.
I am ashamed to say, I started trembling.
'Just set it to stun' he says.
I nod, I couldnt afford to miss.
One of them smirks when he sees my gun.
'Hah they've given the pathetic fleshie a gun.'
Ironhide snarls and the decpticon's smirk grows wider.
One of them fires at us and Ironhide dodges and puts me down.
'Hide!' he hisses.
'But-'
'hide'
I nod and take off running.
I swear as the other Decepticon follows, I then take a breath to clam myself and took a shot at the Decepticon- but of course he dodged.
I throw myself over a fallen tree and keep running.
I take another shot, it misses by an inch DAMNIT.
I stumble, curse my clumsiness and stand back up again.
I take another shot, this time taking a moment to line up the gun.
I hit him! he drops to the ground and I punch the air in triumph, then kept running till I found a suitable tree to hide behind.
I notice that I can see the fight from here, and Optimus has an attacker sneaking up from behind.
I wait for a moment for Optimus to notice, but when he doesnt I pull out my gun and line it up as best I can.
I hit him just, but he still drops to the ground in the same way the other mech had.
I punch the air in triumph again and watch as Optimus turns around surprised, and wondering why the decepticon had dropped to the ground so suddenly, then he sees me and I grin at him.
He doesnt grin back, his optics are focused on something behind me.
I turn around just in time to see a hand close around me, and then whoever it is takes off running.
AN: phew... glad I got that outta the way, took a while to write.
So next chapter... Clem meets Megatron! Pleeeeease review!
