NARRITIVE POV;
"Carly." he laughed menacingly as he scanned the room, his eyes falling on the closet doors where he picked up her head signature. "Come out, come out!" he grinned, ripping the closet doors open. In a panic, Carly tried to push past the man, who simply grabbed her arm, roughly pulling her back to face him.
Cliffjumper's POV;
I didn't know what was going on, Lyra was making very little sense over the comm link, all I could get out of her was to get to Carly's house now. It couldn't have been because I was late, because I wasn't yet, and I wasn't going to be. So it had to mean something worse;
Carly was hurt, or in danger.
But if Carly was hurt, Lyra would have called for Rachet, not me.
My tire's screeched on the pavement, so many thoughts running through my head about what could have happened, it couldn't have been anything good…'Wait, was it possible they were playing a prank on me?' I thought. I clung tightly to that thought as I finally reached Carly's, only to have it shattered as soon as my holoform reached the front door.
"No." I whispered, not even daring to speak any louder.
"Cliff!" Lyra called, her voice on the edge of hysterics.
"Lyra!" her voice forced me to focus again as I ran up the stairs to Carly's room. I didn't know why I bothered to look at her hopefully, a small part of me still thinking this was a joke. But the door to Carly's room was had been busted open too, some of the things on Carly's shelf had been kicked off from a struggle.
Taking it all in, I somehow found myself sitting beside Lyra on the bed. Who could have done this? Rachet didn't pick up any Con activity, so it couldn't have been the Con's…Right..?
"This isn't even the best part." Lyra muttered staring at the wall as through she was in a daze. "Go read what she left up on her computer. An email she was probably about to send you.
I read it over once, twice, and a third time, covering my face with my hand. The first emotion that surged through me was rang, and pain, thoughts that quickly turned hateful and blaming on others. I had to physically shake them away.
"No. No!" I snapped, hitting my hand on the computer desk. "We are going to find her! We'll get the others to help, we'll do whatever it takes! This is probably the work of some human thug right! So we'll track him down and have a nice little chat with him!" I said, pulling Lyra up to her feet, but she pushed me away.
"Yes! We will find them and give them the ass kicking of their life!" Lyra said, with force and determination. With an subtle undertone of fear and desperation.
::Rachet. We need a ground bridge now.:: I commed the medic.
::Cliffjumper, what's wrong?::
::It's Carly.::
Narrative POV;
"Who are you?" she whispered, everything about her screamed out in her fear.
"As if you don't know." he said his voice calm and cool.
"I don't!" she yelped as he increased his pressure on her arm. "S-Stop it!" she cried. "You're hurting me!"
"This is only the beginning." he threatened, if you continue to lie to me." his voice hard.
"I'm not lying!" she snapped, before wincing and whimpering again.
He started dragging her back out into the hallway, down the stairs, and towards the door, covering her mouth so she wouldn't scream. Her eyes widened as she stepped outside. A huge jet of some kind was in her front yard. If she hadn't been so scared she would have rolled her eyes. Her neighbors saw 'everything' yet they didn't see this and try help her the one time she actually needed their help?
Talking a seat in the jet as it took off. The man piloting they craft suddenly flickered in and out of existence before finally disappearing and leaving the seat empty.
"What the pit?!" she yelped, trying to undo her seat belt, but it was as though it had a mind of it's own.
"Please!" she begged, trying not to cry from the fear that threatened to swallow her whole. "Please just let me go! You have the wrong girl, I don't know what the hell is going on!" she choked, her voice wavering.
Carly's POV;
The inner turmoil of emotions were surging through me, wave after wave. But any action, and helpful thoughts were frozen by heart stopping fear.
My trance like state was shattered when I was suddenly tumbling through the air, landing on a cool, metal floor. The fight or flight instinct kicking in at the moment. Scrambling to though off my shoes, I ran, not looking behind me. A whirl of machinery forced my feet to move even faster.
"Where do you think you're going Carly? There's nowhere for you to run to. No escape." he chuckled darkly.
I was going at such a speed, that I couldn't stop right away when I saw the edge of the…air ship…
A scream, caught in my chest, as I tripped over the edge…
Late and another cliff hanger...feel free to hate me...XP (...but please don't! LOL!)
Elhini Prime: :D The middle is the best place to be when your in a group hug! XD Unless you're trying to get away...not that that has ever happened to me before...*shifty eyes* And Yeah, Cliff hangers are way to fun to write, I personally hate reading them...but I love writing them...I guess that makes me a hypocrite...just a little bit... :P
Bee4ever: :333 You're welcome! :D Have you figured out who the mystery man is yet? ;)
The Drone: Haha! Sorry it was so short. But sometimes, ever if you want the chapter to be a little longer, you want to end it at certain spots, to make it more intense! I hope I did better this time! x)
Yeah, I've always sort of wondered about how it feels when the bots have the kids sitting inside them...I guess they feel things a little differently then we do...well obviously they do...but hopefully I'm making a little sense. :P
Maybe I did read your mind! I'll never tell! XD Just kidding! I won't tell you who it is, because I'm pretty sure you know who know anyways! (Don't worry, I have major difficulty with spelling too. :P) Soundwave is one of my favorites too, but Breakdown is at the top of the list...
I might have to go over the once a week thing a little bit, since I skipped last week, and we are at the climax pretty much right now, so I might just get it all done and finished and start posting the story about what happens after everything is over.
THANK YOU!
ForgotMyName2Day: YOU'RE BACK! WHERE WERE YOU HIDING?! OF COURSE YOU GET HUGS!-I mean, hey! It's been a while since I last heard from you, not that I missed you that much or anythi-YOU'RE BACK! *GLOMPS* But you probably are looking for a hug from Bee, and not me, am I right? XD
Bee walks up to you, in his holoform, chirping cutely, leaning down, wrapping his arms around you to give you a big bear hug, lifting you up a little, and spinning you around, before setting you down again, grinning.
Thank you guys all for reading and reviewing! :D It's so much fun for me, getting to see all of your reactions to the story! I can't promise that the next chapter won't be a cliff hanger, but I can say that it should be out tomorrow. I'm going to get cracking and finishing it up as soon as I finish this.
As always, please feel free to review!
