Chapter 4-

Sam's POV-

I yawned as Bumblebee dropped me off at the college enterance, not having gained much sleep on the ride back. Slowly I stretched my arms, unclicked the seat belt, and climbed out of the passenger seat. But as I did the car gave a sad little moan and quietly played "Halfway Gone" by Lifehouse. I sighed and turned to face the car, leaning into the open window.

"Bee just please go, Cari can help you guys more than I can. I'll be fine...I promise." I felt bad cause I knew that the bot's wanted me but I just couldn't get sucked in like I did last time.

I backed up and slowly the Camaro pulled away, giving one last buzz of goodbye as it went out onto the road. Looking away I glanced at my watch I saw that it was eight thirty in the morning.

'I'm already late for my first class of the day!' I thought and jogged over to my dorm building, preparing to get back into...'normality'.

And just as I reached the stairs I felt the hairs on the back of my neck prickle and I whipped around and looked behind me but I didn't see anyone there. After another minute of continued searching I shook my head andcontinued on my way up...not noticing the tall, blonde, boy that watched me from across the yard. His blue eyes flaring for a moment and then he walked off.

Cari's POV-

"So you are Sam's friend?"

I suppressed my fan girlish squeal as the deep voice resonated from the Peterbilt semi's radio. My wildest dreams were coming true...I was talking to the FREAKING OPTIMUS PRIME! HOLY CRAP!

'Calm down Cari don't act like a freak!' I took a deep breath and tried to order my thoughts but still excitment coursed through me.

"Yeah, we've been friends since grade school." I finally answered back.

The truck was silent for a moment, seemingly think about what I had said.

"And you are a...a fan of the Autobots in your world?"

Okay I lost it here...

I tried to hold in my giggles but they broke through anyway and rang in the cabin of the truck. For a whole minute I struggled to regain some sort of control over my laughter but it wasn't until my sides ached that I was able to speak.

"Um, yeah you could say that I'm a fan, but there are more people than just me that are your fans. There's actually a whole Transformers community." I said thinking at how weird it sounded explaining this.

"And all these humans support the Autobot cause?" Optimus asked, sounding very curious as this new bit of information.

At this I swallowed and some of my excitment turned to embaressment, "Ah...actually no..."

"You mean there are humans that support the Decepticons?"

It was odd thinking that a million year old robot could sound surprised but Optimus seemed very surprised at this new revelation. Of course at this point no humans except for Sam, Mikayla, and N.E.S.T workers knew of the aliens. So the idea that any one would think the Decepticons were cool must've been a strange thought.

"Unfortunently yes, but it's not like they want them to kill off humanity though. They just think that it's cool at how powerful some of the Cons are, it's stupid in my opionion though. Evil should never be supported." I said, explaining as best I could.

"It is unfortunet..." was all Optimus said quietly.

After that the cabin of the truck was quiet except for the whoosh of the wind outside and I was able to think to myself.

'So I guess I'm on my way to NEST headquarters! Will I get to meet Lennox and Epps? And what about Galloway...I really hope not he's a royal pain in the aft. I can't wait to see the other bots too! Sideswipe, Ironhide, Ratchet, and...oh great the twins. Hmmm...I wonder what Sam's up too right now?'

At this I check my phone and saw that it was about ten o'clock in the morning and I grinned to myself. Michael should be calling her soon.

Sam's POV-

Sighing I stepped into the stuffy classroom and sat down at an empty seat. Slowly more students began filing in and finally the professor came in and began the lesson. It went on a whole hour, just a lecture on english lititure and how we were going to go over it that year. To be quite honest it was quite boring and I really spent most of the time just staring around the room. But finally the class ended and I sttod up and stretched, my mind still slow from lack of sleep.

But so far my day had gone pretty well, no weird robots coming after me, no strange symbols popping into my brain, and no creepy stalkers. But still I felt...guilty, I had sent Cari off with the Autobots (which I know she didn't mind) but they had asked for me. And I felt like I had betrayed their trust, they needed me and I had out right denied them.

'NO! Stop thinking like that, Cari would be able to help them more than you could. Just try and get through this and get home.' I told myself and forced my legs to start walking back to my dorm room.

I had a whole hour and a half free before my next class so I planned on trying to get a little shut eye before testing my brain again. But as I was walking up the stairs to the freshman hallway when my pocket started vibrating and I heard the chorus of New Divide going off.

"What the..." I muttered and pulled out my cell phone which was the cause for the ruckus.

I looked down and stared at the unfamilar number and decided whether or not to answer it. I caved in and flipped open my cell phone.

"Hello?" I said as I reached the top of the stairs.

"Sam?" a male voice asked on the other end.

"Ummmm...maybe who is this?" I asked back slightly creeped out at this point.

"It's Michael Banes, someone called me a little while ago and told me to call you."

I stopped dumbstruck for a moment, I had totally forgotten about Michael and now here he was randomly calling me only a day after I reenter the Transformer's universe.

"Who told you to call me?" I demanded into the phone.

"Some other girl who said she was your friend. Her name was uh...Carli I think?" he answered.

I leaned against the wall and slowly sank to the floor, "Cari...she told you to call me...why?" I asked.

"She said that something was going to happen around eleven o'clock and when it did to call you." he explained and I frowned.

"What exactly happened?" I asked again as I check the time, it was just past eleven o'clock.

"She said to watch my back and I found that some...robot was sneaking up on me. A tiny little thing that I locked in a box." Michael answered sounding slight more concerned now.

"Why would you need to call me though?" I asked back pushing myself up from the floor and slowly making my way back to my room.

"I dunno she said something about being attacked." he said.

I froze with my hand on the door to my room, 'Was I supposed to be attacked? Or Cari? Oh crap why didn't i pay closer attention to those damn movies?' I thought to myself.

But that's when it clicked and I felt very nervous, "Michael you need to get here now, you know where New Brooke College is in Pennsylvania?"

"Uh okay, what should I bring?"

I smirked, "Just some everyday things; clothes, snacks, a small box with a talking robot inside."

Cari's POV-

"So Optimus how far away is NEST anyway?" I asked as we continued to fly along the highway.

"The NEST base is located on Diego Garcia and is still another Earth hour away." he explained and I nodded.

"Cari...last time Sam was here she knew what was going to happen before it actually occured. She explained that someone made films on this universe."

"Yeah." I answered nonchallently.

"Would you happen to know what is coming next?"

I hesitated, in all those fanfictions and movies where people get sucked into movies they couldn't explain what was going to happen or risk having someone's head explode or have something happen to the space time continum. But this was the movie where Optimus dies...could I possible warn him about that?

"Well yes I do know what is going to happen. But I'm not sure if I can tell you or not but I can say that you Optimus should be EXTREMELY careful." I said.

"I understand, to know one's future can be a very burdensome thing. And I do not wish to know what is coming. Only Primus and a gifted few should be able to know." Optimus answered and I felt slightly better knowing that Optimus didn't want to know. And to be totally honest I really didn't want to be the one to tell the big guy that he could possibly be killed.

But that's when another thought popped into my head, I knew the language of the Primes in my head and at this point in the movie I was supposed to be having some sort of mental break down in the middle class. But since I was with Optimus that couldn't happen, so what would happen to Sam?

I continued to think back to the movie and I remembered what happened after Sam goes back to his dorm room after his break down. My blood ran cold, 'Alice comes and attacks...except this time it has to be...ALAN!' I swore to myself.

"Optimus I know what happens! We have to go back, Sam's going to get killed if we don't help!" I said.

"Are you sure?" he demanded his deep voice making the radio vibrate.

"Yes."

He didn't give an answer back but I gasped as I was thrown against the seat belt across my chest as he hit the brakes and did a full doughnut on the highway. I yell out in shock as the engine roared and he sped across three lanes of traffic and drove right through the grass separating the other side of traffic going in the opposite direction. Several cars screeched as the people inside slammed on their brakes and hauled off on their car horns. But Optimus didn't slow down as he leveled off on the road and roared past everyone in the passing lane.

I grinned to myself, 'Transformers are so EPIC!'

Sam's POV-

I hung up the phone and opened the door of my dorm and sat down on my bed. All I had to do was wait for Michael to get here and then I'd be able to figure out what to do. All I remembered was that soon I was going to get dropped off in the middle of the forest and Optimus and Megatron were going to duke it out. But for the life of me I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing now. So I was ust going to chill out until my friend got back.

'I could always find some way to radio Lennox. Then I can join back up with Cari and Optimus, I'll definitely have to apologize though...' I thought to myself and flopped backwards onto the thin matteress.

I closed my eyes for a moment and just told myself to breath and think. Then the next thing I knew there was jolted awake by the slam of a door and I groggily looked at my clock, it was now almost twelve o'clock. I had been asleep for about an hour.

"Have a nice nap did we?" I jumped at the voice and looked up to see the pretty of Alan staring at me from in front of the door. The door that had woken me up.

I gulped dryly and quickly sat up from the bed, "What do you think you're doing in here? Get out of my dorm!" I growled and backed up quickly.

But all he did was give a slight smirk and take a few steps forward. I continued to back up and Alan continued to walk forward until my back hit the wall and I was trapped. Alan came right up to me and peered at me with his bright blue eyes.

"Go away!" I said dangerously again.

"Why?" he whispered back, his face only a centimeters away from my own.

I glared at him and tried to push him away but he was solid as a rock and just as movable as one. I began to punch the dude in the gut but I actually think that I bruised my knuckles. Finally I tried to duck away from Alan only to have one of his large hands clamp around my neck and shuve me hard enough into the wall to crack it.

"So where that's little friend of yours? The ones who drew though interesting symbols?" he hissed at me and I struggled to breathe.

All I managed to do was spit in his pretty face which seemed to piss him off alot. His hand tightened around my neck and I saw black spot skip across my vision. I watched as Alan's face seemed to pixlate and his skin hand transformed into a clawed, metal one. That's when I remembered what was supposed to happen. and prayed that Michael would get here soon.
