Thank you so very much for the reviews. I love 'em keep them coming. PleasePleasePlease leave me some ideas in the reviews and I may just dedicate that chapter to you. On with the chappie!
We had been driving for four hours when a wave of hunger suddenly hit me. I haven't eaten in some while and I'm pretty sure my tank was running low. When I was about to voice my opinion my stomach had already beat me to it letting out a loud growl. Very embarrassing might I add.
"Sounds to me like your fuel tank is running low. I was going to stop in a while anyway but it sounds like you need nutrition now." Bee chuckled softly and took an exit off the highway to find a diner of some sort.
While driving though the town I had notice that it was extremely serene and seemed to be uninhabited. It gave me an eerie feeling that just didn't sit very well with me. "Bee? Don't you think that it's a little weird that there is absolutely no one whatsoever. I mean, I have had my fair share of "Wrong Turn" but I kind of don't wanna live that out."
He did his thing with the switching intensity of the eyes again before looking at me with a mischievous smirk, "What's wrong. Are you afraid a bunch of townies are gonna jump out and take you away?" He taunted.
"Oh shush. All I'm saying is that it's unnerving and it gives me a bad feeling is all." He didn't have to tease me with the matter. Bad enough I'm regretting getting off the highway already. I tried to look for some kind of sign that would indicate what the town was called when I found one it chilled me to the core.
"Bee?" I shook his shoulder softly while still looking at the slowly passing sign.
"What is it? You scared already? You didn't even hop out yet-" I quieted him by grabbing his chin and turning it towards that decayed sign. Dead-mans Corner : The Last Stop You'll Ever Take.
Who the hell even named this creepy town anyway?! But of course Bee would reply with something like, "Oh wow, humans sure do go to an extant to keep there small towns population steady." What did that even mean?
"We should just look for a diner or something than leave. I can't stand being here anymore." I ushered for him to go faster while we meandered the gravel packed roads. This was not a place that I would like to die. Especially with a name like that.
"Relax Belle. I made promise to keep you safe and that's what I'm going to do. Even if it is from crazed townies." I heard him snicker lightly while I ducked down into the leather seats. All I wanted to do was leave!
We finally pulled into a rundown Diner that had the N and the R missing. Perfect, if the sign didn't spell mass murder I'm pretty sure this would. "You've gotta be kidding me right?"
Bee looked toward the sign as well and finally he looked just the tiniest bit unnerved, "Make it quick alright? I can't protect you in there and keep watch out here at the same time. I can only travel so far away from my alt in holoform." I nodded slightly and shifted to open the door. "One more thing." I turned back, "Watch out for those townies." He had the nerve to smirk at me. I promptly slammed the passenger side door and stomped my way toward the entrance.
I lost pride in my step as I opened the door with a creak that you hear in those haunted house movies. It was empty, not a soul in sight. This was not going well for me.
"Hello? Anybody here?" Silence. I stepped inside and could tell that door was closing behind me. If I so much as hear a lock click from the damned glass door, I am going to scream.
I slowly but steadily made my way inside. It was funny. No one was here yet there was a perfectly good cake being encase in a glass dome. I couldn't tell what kind it was but my stomach and I could care less at this point.
Making my was over to the treat I hesitantly lifted the glass after flinching waiting for someone to grab me from behind while my back was turned. Thankfully, no one did.
From the looks of it it was red velvet. Huh. Looks like it was baked not too long ago. I went to reach for a slice wrapped in a paper covering before I heard the voice. "What do you think there, Missy?" I slowly turned around and screamed. Only the same sound came out. The grating against metal, it kind of sounded like some kind of warble.
I tried to take a step back but my foot snagged on something and the next thing I knew I was falling backwards. Was this how it all ended. Cake in hand, Bee's face contorted into a worried look and- wait Bee?
Two lean arms shot out and snaked their way around my waist before picking me up from my fall. Bee shoved his nose into the crook of my neck before repeatedly apologizing with a soft purr. Just like after the brawl with Barricade. Was it the fact that I was going to be hurt or was it...that noise I made?
'-rry, I'm sorry, Please forgive me-" I cut him off by trying my hardest to punch him in the arm. I heard him snicker. "That tickled." He retracted from my neck before his eyes softened and he pulled me in close. "Please don't cry..." What was he going on about?
"I'm not crying Bee. What in the world are you talking about." He pulled away from me and looked at my with a confused expression.
"That sound you made before. It was the sound of a Cybertronian sparkling crying. Frag me if I know why you make those sounds but whenever you do I react to how any mech or femme would. By pulling them close and whispering, in your human terms, sweet nothings." Bee looked away sheepishly, "But I am sorry for scaring you like that. I probably should have know better. We should get going."
There was till many questions going around in my mind but only one came to light, "Wait a minute! So you lied when you said you couldn't be away from your alt?!" I looked at him angered and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Heh, yea, about that. Holoforms can last up to about a mile away from their alts. Sorry Belle." Before I had a chance to say anything he quickly placed a peck on my forehead before grabbing my hand and leading out of the haunted diner with cake in tow. Why could I never stay mad at him?
And there goes chapter six. Please remember to leave my some ideas in the reviews! Thanks for reading,CrimsonGallade~
