Chapter 16

Don't leave me

Amelia glared at Starscream with such intensity it could fry ants. She hated the fact that the seeker had abandoned them in the middle of the fight. She was using every ounce of her will to stop herself from ripping his spark out. Barricade was in med-bay getting reapers but for the rest he was fine, that could not be said for the drones though. Amelia and Abby were watching Starscream getting shouted at by Megatron and shockwave. She could not help but grin when Megatron punched him in the face because, well, he deserved it. After about ten minuets Abigail looked at Amelia and asked her a question.

"Why is Starscream second in command?" Amelia looked at Abigail and then back at Starscream and said,

"Ever heard of the saying 'Keep you allies close, but your enemies closer'?"

Abigail nodded in understanding.

"Amelia? I've been thinking." Abby had a hurt expression on her face. Amelia looked at her with concern.

"Yes?"

"I… I miss my family." Abby said as a tear rolled down her pale cheek. Amelia did not know what to say, she had never though about how her friend would handle the absents of her family. All she could do was hug her, so that is what she did. Abby cried softly in her friends embrace. After a while she wiped her tears away and looked Amelia in the eyes.

"Amelia, can we pretend to be… sisters, or twins?" Amelia looked at her friend, her big brown eyes stared into her blue ones.

"Shure, we'll be twins from now on. We will start over again. New names, new homes, new family." Amelia said, smiling warmly. Abigail smiled a little and leaned against Amelia's chest.

"Yea, we'll be twins. Our names, Spaceout and Amelia, our family, just the two of us." She said.

"Yes, from now on we are who we are."

"What are we?" Abby asked, here gaze looking into the distance.

"We are one, inseparable." Amelia answered. Abby nodded and then fell asleep in Amelia's lap. Amelia looked down at her sleeping friend, no, not friend, her sister, her twin sister. She spent the hours Abby was sleeping, deep in thought. He mind casting itself further and further into an ever-darkening abyss until she fell asleep as well. A siren awaked them both with a start. The room was pitch black except for the red emergency light on the wall.

"What's happening?" Abby asked in a frightened tone of voice. Amelia put up a finger as she listened to her comm link for orders.

-"All soldiers report! Repeat. All soldiers report! Autobot attack!"- Amelia looked at her new sister sternly.

"Stay here! I need to go!" She said as she loaded her gun and put her helm on ready for battle.

"Don't leave me!" Abby pleaded.

"I need to go! Abby, listen to me! You'll be fine!" Amelia unlocked her shotgun from her hip and handed it to Abby.

"Take this, it might come in handy! You need to keep communications up, look here comes Soundwave!" Amelia hugged Abby quickly and run past Soundwave to get to the battle. When she arrived, she looked at the scene that was unraveling itself before her eyes. The Autobots had somehow surpassed the primary security systems and were now storming in. The drones were but mere obstacles for them. She put her visors down and looked at the tags. Blackout, shockwave and brawl were all fighting furiously, Amelia found Breakdown and Starscream on the ground in stasis lock and hurried towards them. After she managed to get them back online she got off them and headed into the firefight. She was a trained killer and she knew it. She got her bow and arrow and started shooting down as many NEST soldiers as she could. She had quite a lot of arrows but obviously not enough as she was now out of them. So she decided it was machinegun time. She slipped off her bullet belt and filled her gun. She had been trained to be a sniper as well so she hid behind a pole and aimed her shots carefully. Her aim was as true as ever and she didn't miss a single shot. When she was out of ammo, she switched over to close combat killing. Her plasma gun still hadn't been repaired so it was practically useless to her. She took out her swords and started her on slaughter. She had killed more humans than she could count when the Autobots retreated. Amelia watched as they made their hasty leave. She looked at the groaning human at her feet and stabbed it with no remorse. She had quickly counted the Decepticon casualty's, Blackout was down but still functioning and so were a few other ones. No body was dead except for the humans. Amelia then opened her comm link to Abigail.

-"They're gone! Decepticons win once more!"- Amelia smiled but it soon faded when there was no answerer. Amelia transformed into her cat mode and sprinted for the communications office. When she arrived she was shocked. The whole place had been rampaged and everything seemed to have been broken and torn apart. She found Soundwave on the ground, he was still online but badly damaged.

"Where is Spaceout? Where is she?" Amelia asked the Communications officer.

"They took her." He said hoarsely.

"What!" Amelia practically shouted. She looked at where she had left Abby, her gun was on the ground. Amelia picked it up and checked the ammo, it was full. Amelia hooked it back up onto her belt, and set her jaw.

"I'm going to kill those glitches!" she ran to where the main fight took place and collected as many arrows as she could before running to the exit and leaving. She was injured but not badly enough for her to need immediate medical attention. And with that she left. It was midnight and the stars shone brightly, she ran over the desert floor to where here first battle had taken place. Her blood made here armor look like it was made form black, wet ink. She stood in front of the crater and looked onwards to where she had first seen the Autobots. After a few minutes of rest she started walking in that direction in the hope of finding her sister.
