Chapter 11

Prime wakes up as he hears noises. He looks to his side to see Bee and Arcee sleeping well. He looks to the side to see the lightning strike. Prime blinks a little. It was a thumping sound. He growls as he turns to the door.

Prime looks out the window. There was a figure standing in front of it. Prime screams out in fear.

The figure does as well. Arcee jumps out screaming. Bee jumps and screams also. They all keep screaming; and Arcee hugs Optimus tight. Bee is in between them getting squished.

"Sorry…Sorry…Ssshhh don't scream" said Magnus.

Prime sighs in relief. "Oh Magnus…"

Magnus walks up to them with his hands up. Prime rubs his head.

"You scared the…"

"Ah no cussing" said Magnus.

"My god…Magnus you gave me a heart attack" said Arcee. Bee sighs but then growls in anger. He can feel his heart racing.

"I'm sorry for scaring you guys…but I don't want to be alone"

Arcee releases Prime.

"You know…you should've knock" said Prime

"I know…but I'm afraid the monsters might get me"

Prime rolls his eyes. "Okay…you may sleep on that bed"

Magnus winks and lays down on the bed. He covers himself fully and goes to sleep. Bee is yawning as he stretches. Optimus rubs Bee's temple; hoping he will fall asleep. Bee did.

Arcee falls asleep right after Bee. Optimus can't sleep anymore. He still a little frightened by what Magnus did. Prime lays on his side facing Bee and Arcee. He can see them peacefully sleeping.

Prime blinks a little; he is trying to fight the sleep. He slowly closes his eyes and falls asleep. He hopes there is no more scaring for the rest of the night.

It is morning. The sun isn't out yet. The rain is still pouring down with force. The thunder is still roaring; the lightening is still striking. Optimus opens his eyes slowly.

He gets up and stretches. He hears most of his bones crack. He shrugs it off. Optimus stands up and goes to the restroom. He washes his face and wet his hair.

He walks out the restroom and he sees Magnus sitting up on his bed. He is stretching his back; arms; legs. Prime can hear his bones cracking everywhere. Magnus laughs to himself and walks to the restroom.

"Morning Prime"

"Morning…"

Magnus goes and looks at the mirror. He washes his face. He looks up to his reflection with a smile. The reflection gives him a frowning face. Magnus stares at it confuse. He sticks out his tongue but his reflection didn't.

Magnus looks behind him. He is now getting scared. He looks at the reflection. Magnus blinks his eyes hoping he is just imagining it.

Magnus lends out a hand.

"Morning sir" said the reflection.

"Morning to you too" said Magnus.

He shakes hands with his own reflection. Magnus runs out the restroom and hides behind Prime.

"A ghost…" he whispers. Prime rolls his eyes and walks to the restroom.

"Where…?" ask Prime

"There…"

Optimus starts laughing as he looks at the mirror. He looks at Magnus with a raise eyebrow.

"Magnus…I know you are ugly but I don't think that you are ghost"

Magnus growls with anger. "Just look"

Magnus stands in front of it. He does a funny face but it shows nothing. It's just him in the reflection.

Prime still doesn't see any ghost just him.

"Okay Magnus…maybe you were imagining it"

"But do you believe me?"

"Yes…there are ghost around here…"

"So now what…?"

"We have to fight back"

"What!"

"Look I took out the cameras so he can't see us" said Prime.

"Who…?"

"The man in the black coat…I saw him yesterday he is running this place" said Prime "I think he is hiding something"

"Oh nice…"

"I think he has some workers that play as the monsters…"

Magnus nods and says "So the ghost aren't real"

"No they are not"

"Well…what's your plan?"

"I haven't thought about it" said Prime "Right now just relax"

Magnus nods. He goes out the door and runs to his room. Prime walks to the bed and hears Arcee yawning. She is getting up.

Prime kisses her temple. "Morning Arcee"

"Morning…" she whispers. Optimus leans in closer and kisses her. "Oh…"

Optimus smiles as he leans back. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes I did…" she said "I heard you want to fight back"

"Yes…" said Prime "I want to stop the man and know why he is trying to kick us out and what treasure he is hiding"

"Yes…but we intruded his house"

"I thought this place was abandoned…" said Prime "He's been scaring us to far…it's time that we stop it"

"True…he did scare us a lot" she said "Do you think he made the ghost appear on the spooky road? And…"

"Yes"

"And do you think that he stole your truck?" she asks.

Prime stays quiet for a long while. He knows his truck has been stolen and the man is the only one that lives here.

"I think so"

Prime looks around the room. He sees thick sticks; like the ones you can use for the piñata. He gives one to Arcee. Bee wakes up and he sees Prime giving him a stick.

Bee grabs it. "What is this for?"

"We are going to fight the monsters…"

Bee smiles but then frowns. He doesn't know if he wants to. The monsters still scare him.

"Hey don't worry…I'll be right here with you" said Prime.

"Thanks"

"We have to meet with the others…I have to tell them my plan"

"Okay…" she said

"I hope it works" he said. "He also mention about using the beast…I wonder what the beast is?"

"Whatever it is…it doesn't sound good"

"You're right"

Optimus hugs Arcee tight. He looks at her.

"You know you are really beautiful" said Prime

Arcee blushes as she looks away. Optimus places his fingers under her chin and lifts her head up gently.

"You are beautiful" said Prime. He kisses her gently. Arcee hugs him and smiles.

Prime hugs her tighter.

"I promise…today will be the last day we will stay here"

Arcee nods and looks at him "I hope so"

Optimus calls out for the others. He keeps calling their names not stopping. Wheeljack and Bulkhead are the first to head down. They look like they just woke up. Prime smiles at the two.

"Morning…come have a seat" said Prime

"This better be good Optimus" said Jack.

Smokescream comes down rubbing his head. He stumbles here and there. He makes it downstairs and glares at Prime.

"Morning…" he growls.

Optimus shrugs it off. Magnus walks down quickly and stands next to Optimus. Sideswipe slides down the stairs. He smirks as he walks to the table and sits down.

Strongarm is tying up her hair. She makes it to the table and sits down. Optimus counts them and sees that all of them are there.

"Okay guys…" said Prime "I found out who is behind this"

"What…?" said Bulk.

"I found a man with a black coat. He is controlling all of the monsters and ghost. He's been using them to scare us away"

"Okay…" said Smokescream "So what..?"

"We can stop him" said Prime "First we have to trap the ghost and then we have to get to him"

"Trap the ghost…even the monsters" said Strongarm

"Well not ghost because that's over with but we have to trap the monsters" said Prime.

"Oh okay…" said Sideswipe

"We have to fight back…we are going to have use any weapons you find" said Prime "We have to stop the monsters before they get to us"

All of them nod but not into it.

"But…how…?"

"I think those monsters are people" said Prime "I think they work here as well"

"Okay I'm in" said Sideswipe

"Okay…we are going to have to split up" said Optimus. "Okay…go in your groups, find a weapon and be ready to fight the monsters"

"And then what…?" ask Bulk.

"We can go home" said Prime "Today will be the last time we stay here"

"How…if you don't have a vehicle?" ask Sideswipe

"I think my truck is here" said Prime "Once we finish the monster. I can search for the truck"

"True…" said Magnus.

"No more scares for us" said Prime.

Optimus holds out his stick.

"Grab anything you can find" said Optimus "I think the monsters are getting close"

The guys grab things from the living room. They wait there until the monsters come running to them.
