Chapter 5: She Doesn't Exist!
No One's POV
"What are we to do about Melany?" Lennox turned to Director Mearing, "she doesn't show up in our books, there is nothing on her, she basically doesn't exist!" Lennox threw his hands up in exaggeration. Mearing stayed quiet for few minutes before turning to Lennox, "You are telling me that she just up and appeared out of nowhere?" The stern look on her face could make anyone twitch under her stare. "Yes ma'am." "I'm not a ma'am, don't call me a ma'am, do i look like a ma'am to you?" Mearing glared at the Major. "Yes… i mean no... sir er... ma'am er…. Director." The director turned her attention from Lennox to Optimus Prime who walked in at the moment. Taking a deep breath Lennox looked at Optimus, "What do you think big guy?" Optimus looked at Lennox, "I have found nothing on the human girl except for a file made by the Russians that was hidden in their classified network." Optimus then proceeded to hand them a digital copy of the file on a datapad. "The file says that she has been in the Russians possession a lot longer than we first anticipated." Optimus looks at Mearing, "The russians had her for over 200 years before we discovered that they were hiding something back in the 1800s. That is all we have figured out for the file is encrypted and very hard to break thru." Optimus finishes closing the file. Mearing nodes, "Have my men help you break the encryption." Nodding Optimus excuses himself then walks out. Lennox begins to walk out but Mearing stops him, "Major?" Lennox turns, "Yes Director?" Mearing looks him straight in the face, "We will introduce her to the Autobots, tomorrow, that way, it will be easier for everyone." Lennox nodes then turns and walks out.
Melany's Room
Melany opened her eyes, looking around the bland room she sighs. "These people are going to get arrested by the fashion police." She chuckles to herself and slides off the bed. Taking a shower and other duties, she grabbed some army sweats and an army shirt from the small drawer next to the desk changing into the outfit she walks out of the room. "Okay i just need to go the way i came." Melany says to herself. Looking both ways, she shakes her head. "I don't even remember which way i came." Taking a step forward, she decides to go right. She walks down several hall ways, and walks by several doors, before she stops at a dead end with one door that is open. She ponders for a minute if she should go in or not. Deciding that you can never know something till you explore it. Walking up to the door, a horde of voices spilled out. Melany peeked inside… and she froze. There were ROBOTS in the room! And they were all sitting around and talking like it was natural. Pulling away from the door, she decided to pretend she hadn't seen anything and shook her head. Turning around she became face to face with a very skinny and ugly looking robot with shurikens in its…. Hand? The ugly robot had red eyes and started to throw the shurikens at her. Melany screamed and ran in the other direction right through the door and behind one of the robots.
Rec Room
All of the Autobots were sitting around and talking in the rec room because of the one girl that they pulled out of the crate the other day. Jazz was beginning to tell a funny story when they heard a scream outside of the rec room. The girl that was the whole reason, they were stuck in here ran through the door screaming at the top of her lungs with Frenzy on her tail. The girl ran behind Barricade, while Frenzy stopped in front of Barricade. They began to speak in a foreign language. Frenzy looked at his feet like he was apologizing to Barricade before he ran out of the room. Then everyone's attention to the girl who had her eyes squeezed shut, and was rocking back and forth behind Barricade. Ratchet came forth, "Excuse Miss are you alright?" Melany slowly stopped rocking and opened her eyes. She instantly froze, before she started rocking again, "I'm just dreaming there is no such thing as giant…. Sentimental robot things… nope just the Russians poisoning me it will pass, it will pass." Melany looked back at the robots and they were still there. "Dude what's wrong with her?" The silver one spoke up, and looked at the greenish yellow robot. Melany's annoyance instantly spiked, "I have a name you know! And i'm right here!" She shouted and stalked out muttering about disrespectful robots and their obliviousness. "Great job Sides, now you make us look mean." Sunstreaker hit his twin in the back of the head. "Owww, that hurt you know!?" Sides yelped. Sunstreaker barely spared him a glance. Sides huffed but looked at the direction the girl stalked off. "Is that the girl that was in that metal coffin?" Optimus walked up and nodded. "Yes it is, her name is Melany." All the Autobots looked at their leader. "We should head to the main hangar, we are to introduce our selves to her." Optimus walked out followed by the others.
Melany POV
Those darn robots had the nerve to talk about me in front of me and then act like i was mental! They didn't even use my name! How rude! I walked down several halls before, finally finding the main hangar. I walked in slowly watching the bustling of the soldiers walking by. Where is that Lennox guy when you need him. I thought looking around. I caught a glimpse of him at the far corner and walked in that direction. "Lennox!" I called out to him when i managed to see him. He did a full circle before his eyes landed on me. He smiled before setting down some papers and walked towards me. "Melany i see you're awake, how did you sleep?" I gave him a deadpan look, "Fine, now tell me why i was trying to find this room and instead i found a room full of robots and at first i was going to just walk away and pretend i never saw them but when i turned around there was this ugly little robot with red eyes and it started throwing shurikens at me and i ended up screaming and running into the room with the robots and hid behind a black and white one and it and the little robot had a conversation before the little one ran off and they started to act like i was mental and talk about me in front of me and then they preceded to call me her instead of asking for my name i was so mad err those darn robots had the nerve!" I threw my hands up in exasperation while Lennox looked dumbstruck with his mouth hanging open. I waved my hand in front of his face. "Earth to Lenox, are you still there?" I waved until Lenox snapped out of his stupor, "You saw the Autobots!?" He just about shouted in my face.
"Oh the robots were the Autobots?" I was dumbfounded, "So the Autobots are aliens then?" I looked at Lennox. "Yes they are, Optimus can venture further into that topic, but for now, since you already met the Autobots, it's time for you to meet the team." Lennox's face split into a giant grin.
The only thought i had was 'was i ready for what was about to come?'
