Anna's POV

Crack!

Pain exploded across my back, and I bit back a sob.

Another Crack came, the pain flared on my back.

Suddenly, a heavy weight was on top of me. Whoever was whipping me had passed out, the person stank of alcohol.

Suddenly, everything was on fire. I couldn't breathe or see through the smoke. A tiny hand was gripping mine, and I heard the owner cough then the grip went slack. My vision was filled with flames dancing around me, licking at my skin, before the flames suddenly pounced on me, chewing on my skin. -

Anna….

Little one, wake up…

I jolted awake and felt a weight on my shoulder. I look up and saw that Solus had her digit on my shoulder. Her golden optics shining down me. "Another stasis projection?" she asked me. All I could do was nod as I took in shaky breathes. The nightmares weren't as graphic as they used to be, but I still had them none the less. No matter how many times I had convinced myself that we were away from…him. I shuddered, and wrapped my arms around myself. Solus clicked at me and picked me up, bringing me close to her spark. She began to walk towards the glowing pool of energon in the center of the "room". There really isn't a way to describe where we were. It was an alternate dimension, and the Primes stayed here after they sacrificed their sparks to defeat Unicron. Primus took their sparks from the well and paced them in this sort of pocket dimension, where they could observe events from the other dimension. It was really just pitch black space with the glowing pool in the center. No walls, just the floor and darkness.

Some might call it scary, but it was perfect for me. The primes were good bots to have around. Sometimes, Primus would even pop in now and then. When we reached the pool of energon, I had somewhat calmed down. I uncurled and sat crisscrossed in Solus Prime's servo.

11 other bots were gathered around the pool talking. All talking died down when Solus took her respective place around the pool. Golden optics stared at me, as if searching for something. A white and blue mech, Prima, spoke. "Did you have a good recharge youngling?" I shrugged, and made a so-so motion with my hand. "Stasis projections" Solus said. The other nodded in sympathy, while Prima just frowned. "Where's Starlight" I asked quietly looking around for my little sister. Prima's expression softened and he answered "She is currently recharging in Solus' hold." I nodded. "Now, we have gathered here to tell you that the boy, Samuel James Witwicky, has finally become of age. He will soon meet the Autobot scout, Bumblebee." I nodded. This was the reason the Primes and Primus saved me and my sister. Yes they pitied us, but they also needed someone to help their children.

Sam was chosen to help, but he wouldn't last very long. His need for a normal life was stronger than his desire to fight in the war. However, in my dimension my sisters and I never had that need. We concentrated on just surviving, so forget living a normal life! We were emotionally strong and could keep a clear head in times of danger. So the primes watched us and eventually decided that I was the perfect choice. I was still kind of skeptical that me, a little 13 year old girl, could save an entire race from extinction when I couldn't even save my…No. I shook my head and cleared my mind from those thoughts. Focus, this is not the time to be mopping about the past. Just focus on not letting that happen again. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. That was my motto, along with the famous "No sacrifice, No victory."

I was brought out of my thoughts when Prima cleared his vocalizer. "Sorry, I was…thinking again." I said. His optics softened with a look of understanding. "That is understandable young one. Now, as I was saying, you will need to prepare for your departure. Primus will be here soon to take you to the boy." I nodded, and Solus set me down. I looked up at her, and she smiled at me. Then, she took out a black backpack with the autobot and decepticon symbol on it from her subspace and gave it to me. I nodded my thanks and looked inside to check if everything was there.

There was the 4 Transformers movies, Transformers towel, some clothes, my visor, and some sketchbooks and pencils and erasers for my personal amusement. I was currently wearing black shorts with a Transformers T-shirt. The front had the same symbol as my back pack and said in white letters ' United We Stand…' and on the back it had a picture of each of the factions separated by a lightning bolt between then and it said ' …Divided We Fall'. I put my black jacket with golden highlights on and zipped it up to hide the symbols on my shirt. I changed into the jeans to hide the scars on my legs. I also put my visor on and gave the silent command to bring the piece of tinted glass down over my eyes to hide the burn on the left side of my face. I don't mind if the Primes saw my scars and burn, they already knew how I got them. But if other people saw them, they'd ask what happened and I really don't want to have of think up of excuses all the time, or deal with the memories.

"Not that I'm questioning your judgement, but is it wise to bring these?" I asked, gesturing to the Transformers merchandise. "The autobots will probably already be suspicious of me, but this will be hard to explain." "Yo, we knew ya'd say tha' younglin'. So, if it'd ease ya processor, we've already contacted our little brother Optimus Prime in his stasis wit a little help from Primus. We didn't give him specifics, but we did tell him tha' you ain't no threat. All we told him waz tha' we'd be sendin' a femmling ova ta help an' you ain't no spy." Micronus said. That was half of the truth. The Primes did contact Optimus, but they told him that they were sending a young femmling that was broken and needed to be rebuilt. Yes Anna was close to them, but they never saw her vent out her emotions to anybot. She was always closed up and either training, drawing, or lost in thoughts. Micronus installed something in her armor's helmet that allowed her to listen to both Earth and Cybertronian music, and they would occasionally hear her sing. They hoped that this mission would allow her to open up more, if not to them then to the bots she knew and loved.

I smiled at him and slung the backpack over my shoulder. Good. Now I won't have to think up of an explanation to tell them. Ever since the Primes rescued me and Starlight, we had all become sort of a family. They took over raising Starlight for me, allowing me to things wanted like train and draw. I did talk with them and share a few laughs, but for some reason I wasn't as close to them as Starlight was. I mean, I loved them like family, but something was just missing. I turned to Solus, "May I say good-bye to Starlight before I go?" With a smile, Solus opened her chest plates and took out my recharging sister. My sister was only 7 years old. All the time in this dimension halted our aging process. Starlight and I would be frozen at 7 and 13 forever. Now, that in no way meant that we were stuck with minds of 7 and 13 year olds, we were actually smarter than most adults thanks to the primes' teachings. We also are not by any means immortal, we can still die of normal life threating things, only old age won't be one of them.

"Starlight…wake up please. I've got to tell you something." I gently shook her awake. It took a couple minutes, but eventually she woke up. She rubbed her eyes and yawned "What's wrong Nova?" "Emma…." I trailed off, not knowing what to say. How do you tell your little sister that you were going to be in another dimension and might not come back? We had already lost our parents and Sol-and our sister. I sighed," Emma, I'll be going away for a while okay? Remember when we discussed that when Sam came of age, I would be sent over to his dimension to aid him?" Her eyes grew wide. I never called her by her real name unless it was serious. I've always called her Starlight, Star, or another endearing Cybertronian term. "Do you understand?" I asked her. Slowly, she nodded, tears filling her eyes. The primes shifted uneasily, their parental programming kicking in at the sight of a sparkling in distress.

Emma wrapped me in a hug and whispered to me "Come back to me Anna." I smiled as I hugged her back. She understood how serious this was when she called me by my real name, not Shimmernova. "I will" I let go and stood to leave, but she grabbed my hand and pulled me back down. "Wait, Take this-"She took off her silver autobot pendant and put it in my hand. "Bring me back a souvenir, please!" I smiled, "of course Sweetspark, how bout I bring you sketches of the autobots?" "Yeah!"

I smiled and stood up. I put the necklace on, right on top of mine, and walked over to the pool of energon. "I'm ready" I said. They all nodded and turned toward the pool. It began to glow bright, and I had to cover my eyes. Solus cupped her servo around Starlight's body to shield her from the light. When the glow faded, a large mech was standing in the pool. He was about a head taller than Prima was (Prima was the tallest of them) and his paint job was white with light blue and golden highlights. His frame literally glowed in the darkness.

We all bowed respectfully to him. "Primus, welcome. The girl is ready to depart." Prima spoke. Primus chuckled," You know that such formalities are not needed with me Prima." He said. We all straightened and Primus looked down at me. "Are you ready child? You will be meeting the boy at his school." " Yes Primus, I am ready and will do whatever it takes to save your children from extinction." I said, a determined look on my face.

Primus smiled, "I know you will my child. But please, think of this also as a vacation not just a mission. You are there to also make friends and allies." I raised an eyebrow at him, but simply nodded. Shouldn't the primes and Primus be acting all serious and grave, I mean they are basically trusting the fate of their race on a 13 year old's shoulders. I stepped over to the edge of the pool, and it began to glow brighter. Primus made a motion with his servo and the glowing energon swirled around me. It started to glow really bright so I shut my eyes. The last thing I heard was Starlight's voice.

"Be safe Nova, and good luck…"

A/N: Alright, the first chapter is done! I'm not really good at descriptions, so here are some of the links to show you what I'm talking about:

For the backpack, you have to scroll down about half way to see it. Instead of the glowing triangle, it'll have a glowing autobot and decepticon symbol:
