(chapter 12)

(Ven POV)

So it's been a couple weeks and I've grown more used to the fact that I'll be living with evil Cybertronian mechs, but I still haven't gotten used to the fact that I'm the smallest being here. Don't laugh. It's already embarrassing enough.

—--

Today was really bothering me. Ever have a weird feeling when you wake up, and said feeling won't go away? Yeah. That's how I feel at the moment and I don't like it. It means that something unexpected might happen today and I don't know what since I'm still ahead of the series, which, honestly, is more irritating, but also a heaven sent due to me having more time to prepare for the inevitable.

On the other hand, let's get back to the fact that today feels weird.

I've got a multitude of reasons to be wary right now. First, Soundwave hasn't sent me any work to work on. Second, Knockout hasn't sent me anything to study with. He hasn't even sent me any sarcastic responses either.

I huffed as I lazily rolled out of bed and onto the cold berth that my living space was situated on. I stood up and I stretched, popping my back in the process. I yawned, rubbed my neck and was preparing myself to get ready for the day. I'm going to have to figure out why today was weird. Actually, I might just know, but I'm not certain.

I was in the middle of brushing my teeth when I heard an explosion go off in the distance. Right after I felt the aftershocks which shook the ship, which made me stumble and nearly choke on my toothpaste and toothbrush.

I let out an irritable grumble as I spit out the toothpaste in my makeshift sink and I put my toothbrush away.

I'm pretty sure that the Bots are on the ship. I'm going to be completely honest and say that I hope that they don't come across my room. It would be weird to explain how I even got welcomed onto their ship in the first place, and since the Bots are unironically the main characters they'll know that something is wrong. Ironic.

Anyway, I'm still in the middle of getting ready even though I could hear blaster fire and yelling in the background. The ship is even still shaking because of the multitude of explosions that are going off right now, which are annoying me to no end because they're interrupting me while I'm getting ready. Makin' me stumble around and shit like an uncoordinated scraplet.

I put on a black tee, baggy maroon sweatpants, and a baggy green sweater. I ain't finna be running around in my jammies thank you very much.

I quickly put on some socks and my good ole running shoes, chucks mind you. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to run around today. Matter of fact, let me put my hair up into a bun. I didn't want my hair in my face either.

Oof. Nerves are starting to hit me in the gut right now. If I don't calm down I'm finna spray out some vomit and we can't have that. No ma'am. No sir. No thank you.

Now back on topic.

So while I've been getting ready the sounds of battle have been raging on and have begun to get louder and I have the sudden feeling to get into the vents.

So, there is a vent in the perfect spot for me to get into, but the spot is kinda strange since I could easily get to it. Like, very easy. It's by my living space on the berth, which is kinda not a good place to put a vent, but I'm not complaining. It just gives me more motivation to run around the ship like a rat that the Cons won't be able to get rid of. That's kinda funny. Me running around like a rat in the vents like a rat. Kinda made no sense but eh. Hehehe.

Anyway, I'm in the middle of getting this vent covering off when I hear this big ass bang. And it's hella loud. Like ya step daddy yelling in ya ear acting as if he the boss of you knowing damn well that he don't even live here, nor is he considered ya parent.

Anyway, there was a loud ass bang and it ended up making me flinch, which in turn, made me hurt my hand. I doubled over and groaned. Fuck. That's going to bruise and end up lookin' like a purple bergens ass. Damn. Damn near made me scream too. Hooooowwweeee I already don't like this.

Just as I was shaking my hand so that I could shake the pain away (gotta shake it off, shake it off ooh), the doors to my room burst open, making me whip my head to see who just busted through my door, and take a wild guess on who I see right now.

Did you guys guess yet? Yeah? Well if you guessed correctly then congratulations because right at my busted door is The Optimus Prime. I would fangirl, but now is not the time or place. Now, back on track.

Optimus had scanned the room carefully before his optics landed on me. He froze and his optics widened in either shock or surprise ion fuckin' know, but I know that it was either because why the fuck would a human be doing on a Decepticon air craft?

He raised his arms, making sure that I could see his hands, probably to let me see that he doesn't have a weapon and won't hurt me, which is unnecessary to be honest, but I ain't finna say anything.

He was slowly making his way across my room, making his way towards me as I watched him carefully. During this entire interaction he was silent, not saying a word. I kinda hoped he did because so far all the characters' voices that I've heard so far have been mesmerizing. Except Starscream.

I was watching him carefully as I held my hurt hand close to my chest. Despite knowing that the Bots are good, I kinda want to stay here. I've gotten too used to the fact that this will be my home from now on.

I was taking a step back closer to the open vent everytime that he took a step, which he noticed. He stopped walking, but I continued to take steps back to get to the vent. Just know that I'm not at all scared of Optimus, I just don't want to leave the place that I'm starting to see as my home, however temporary that may honestly be.

I flinched as I heard Optimus speak and I could tell you right now that I could practically feel my bones vibrate. Hah! All the transfans would be so jealous if they heard this right now.

"I do not wish to harm you."

OOF! His voice be making my heart race and shit! Bro. I cannot. Ugh.

I kept a straight face as he spoke. I didn't want to show any emotion since if I did I'd be a blushing mess right now. Don't judge me.

I took a large step back, getting closer to the vent so that I could escape. I also wanted to leave, just a little bit, but I didn't want Soundwave looking at the security feed and thinking that I was trying to switch sides or anything. He'd immediately show it to Megtron if he thought so, and the Megatron would have no choice but to beat my meaty ass, so that's a fat, big ass non

I spoke up again and I was also taking a few more steps back. I was right at the entrance of the vent when I spoke up. I kinda wanted to since he kinda looks shocked and hurt right now.

"I know, but I will be harmed if I show that I want to leave. Good luck getting off the ship though."

Right after I got done speaking I dashed down the vent and out of Optimus' sight.

Once I got far enough I doubled over panting. I wasn't built for running. I was built to be a lazy ass bitch. I ain't down for that athletic shit. Nope. Forget that. Athleticness can go and kiss my fat ass and suck my dick.

Once I caught my breath I huffed and redid my bun. I felt uncomfortable with how it started to flop around when I took off running.

As I was redoing my bun another explosion went off. I was a little more faint than the other explosions that I heard so it must've been a bit more farther on the other side of that ship thankfully. I didn't feel like getting blown to minny roasted meat bits. Great. Now I'm thinking of cannibal jerky and I'm starting to get hungry. The stress is really getting to me.

I was walking down the vent, listening out for any footsteps from either Con or Bot. I felt very paranoid due to the fact that I would almost not be able to tell the difference with the footfalls. I mean, I could tell whose footsteps are whose, but it'd be kinda confusing.

I sighed quietly as I looked out a vent covering, looking if there was anybody in the halls that I might find familiar. I was confused as well since after the last explosion it was hella quiet. Like a loud quiet. A quiet that might not be good. Now I just wanna sit and stay where I am at this point. Why go on if things are this quiet. I could hear my own food digesting into shit with how quiet it is. Not really, but you guys get the point.

I came to the conclusion that I should just stay where I am and wait. I didn't feel like moving and my paranoid ass was considering going back to my room. I didn't want to be caught lackin' though if one of the Bots were waiting for me there, so Imma just stay here.

I pull out my phone and I begin to scroll through all of my fanfiction books, looking for one that would entertain me for right now. Once I found a book I immediately get engrossed in it. It was one of my favorite fanfic books too. It was about an abused girl getting adopted by a bunch of Yautja. I love this book. Sometimes I be wishing that I could be in a book like this. Without the abuse part though.

Anyway, as I'm getting to the end of the fanfic book I hear rapid footfalls coming in my direction. I put my phone in my pocket and I peek out the vent opening, knowing that I won't be seen.

I'm happy to say that I see Knockout and Starscream making their way to my room. I know they're heading to my room because my room is down this direction.

Starscream and Knockout might not be heading to my room, but they looked to be in a hurry for some reason, like they were being chased or they were worried about something because they sure looked spooked about something. I wonder what though.

I decided to make my way back to my room since I'm pretty sure that the Bots are gone.

I was taking my time while making my way down the vent, not bothered about anything in particular, but still paranoid on whether or not I should head back to my room. I don't know what could possibly be there. I actually don't even know if the Bots are actually gone.

Anyway, as I get closer and closer to my room I hesitate. I really was paranoid and I felt that when I made it to my room that there would be somebody in there. I really gotta get rid of this paranoidness problem. It's really not good for my health. Can't help it though.

Now then, as I see the light in front of the open vent I start to consider if I should peek out and see if there's anybody in my room. AS I was thinking, I heard the voice of Starscream.

"Do you think that the Autobots took them?"

I sighed in relief at hearing his voice. At least I know that the Bots are off the ship.

"Probably. I wouldn't put it past the human if they wanted out of this ship."

I snorted softly. Of course Knockout would say that. He doesn't even want to be on this ship 24/7 even though he has to. He even has to ask for permission to leave too.

I'm right around the corner of the vent as I speak up.

"You guys do know that it's rude to talk about somebody behind their back right?"

Right as I peek out of the vent with a grin on my face both Knockout and Starscream make startled noises. Starscream unironically screamed like a little bitch and Knockout made a funny sound that I don't even know how to describe.

They both looked offended as they saw my grinning face. Starscream scowled and Knockout had a hand over his spark on his chassis with a disgruntled look.

I burst out laughing as I walked out of the vents. I started wheezing which made some of my spit go down the wrong tube, making me cough. I hit my chest and I wheeze as I try to stop coughing.

"Goddamn. Wrong tube."

I took a breath and I looked at Starscream and Knockout with a childish grin.

"Sooo. How did the battle go?"

Starscream and Knockout looked at me with unimpressed faces. Starscream rolled his optics and clicked his glossa. I almost forgot what their tongue was called. I think it's called glossa. I dunno.

I looked Starscream up and down with a raised brow and a frown on my face.

"Who da fuq do you think you rolling yo eyes at?"

Starscream sassily put a hand on his hip and he looked down at me with an annoying posh look on his face.

"I don't see any other human in the room now do I?"

I sucked my teeth as I looked him up and down this time, but more judgmentally. Starscream's sassy demeanor immediately was sucked right up as he was affected by my judgmental look. I gave him another judgmental look and a side eye before I turned at Knockout and asked him a question.

"I'm serious though. What the hell even happened?"

[Hello everybody! So, about that book I'm writing. I won't be publishing it right at this moment. I will be posting it in like either a few months or next year. I might even publish it at the end of this year. I dunno. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter to some extent. Till next time!]
