Shattered (Transformers Robots in Disguise)

Chapter 8: My Hero

My eyes widened as I stared up at the tall monster in front of me. From his three-story height to his one red glowing eye. He was terrifying.

    "Wh...what are you?" my voice was a horrified whisper.

    Silence-just the glowing red eye.

Suddenly it clicked.

    This...this was a Decepticon!

    Horrified at my realization, I took a hasty step back.

    There was a whirring noise, and I jumped. Startled, I looked over my shoulder at the small shadow hidden in the trees-the two glowing eyes moved as the figure moved forward to reveal a small metal creepy spiky bird with red eyes!

    I froze, staring at the metal bird. My heart was pounding in my ears-my mouth felt  dry. What do I do now?

    Even if I did manage to get enough of a voice to scream-I was sure the junkyard was too far away from them to hear me!

        Okay, I am getting out of here.

    The Creepy Decepticon bent towards me, a cannon whipping at me.

    "Ahh!" With a shriek, I dodged to the side, then spun on my heels and began running. I did not care where I was running so long as it was away from that Decepticon!

    I dodged between trees, under bushes and over roots. Finally, I paused in a clearing. There was no noise of pursuit. Did I lose him?

    Panting, I put my hands on my knees as I glanced around. Wait, where was h- "Ahh!"

    I cried out in alarm as something cold and hard wrapped around my waist tightly.

        "LEMEGO!" Screaming, I flailed and kicked and hit my fists against the hand as it lifted me in front of the glowing red eyed Centurion. But it was to no avail. The grip tightened and I began to feel lightheaded.

    All of a sudden, a red light shot over me-scanning me from head to toe. I winced, momentarily blinded.

    "LEMME GO LEMME GO!" I began my screaming and thrashing about again.

    Suddenly there was a flash of bright light and I had to cover my eyes.

    A deep voice spoke, sending shivers down my spine-not in fear but rather with awe.

    "Shockwave, let the girl go!"

    The grip tightened around my waist and now I could see nothing-spots swam before my eyes. I whimpered, trying to gasp for air.

All at once I felt myself falling-I would have screamed had my lungs had enough air in them. But instead of falling to my death, I landed on something hard yet smooth.

Opening my eyes, I looked up from where I was sprawled on my knees. My eyes widened as I gazed into the blue optics and large metal face of another robot? The visor retracted from his mouth and he spoke, his voice deep and powerful, as if carrying the weight of nations. "Are you okay young one?"

Gulping in the air, I felt dizzy-no ribs broken-just bruised-I hoped. "Y...yes," I the words came out in a whisper- my lungs still trying to get back to full capacity. Uneasily, I glanced around anxiously.

"Shockwave and the others are gone," the robot spoke in a calming voice that instantly made me feel safe--comforted. "You are safe."

A warm feeling filled my chest and instantly all my anxieties were quelled. "I...thank you."

Suddenly I noticed the familiar insignia on his chest. "Wait, are...are you an Autobot?"

"Who I am is not of great importance now-all will be revealed in due time, just know that I am a friend," he gently lowered me to the ground. I hopped off his hand, almost falling over if he had not gently caught me with one of his large metal fingers. "You must return to the base now, the sun is rising Y/N, L/N."

Looking forward, I indeed saw the sun lighting up the sky in an array of pastel colors. It was then that I realized something. The robot? The autobot? My hero.....he had known my name. But how?

"Sir, how did you," I turned to face my hero but he was already gone.

***********************************

"Y/N! Y/N!"

Making it back to base had been easier than I thought. Somehow in being chased by that weird Decepticon...what was his name? Oh yes, my hero-I had decided to call that other robot-er autobot, my hero-had called the creep Shockwave. That metal bird thingy must have been the "others" my hero mentioned. Such a creepy bird and his eyes ugh I'd be lucky if i would  ever attempt walk in a forest alone ever again during the day let alone at night!

Anyways in the chase I had ended up quite close to the base and even now I heard Rusty's shouts for me.

"Y/N!"

"Coming!" I ran into the junkyard. Rounding a corner, I bumped straight into something hard.

"Ouch!" Both I and another voice groaned.

I looked in front of me to see Rusty rubbing his forehead.

"You, okay?" I asked, worriedly. "So sorry, I didn't see you!"

"Yeah, I'm fine," He rubbed his forehead once more. Then he stared at me anxiously. "Where have you been? We've been looking all over! Bee was starting to get worried sick! we-"

I held up one hand to stop the boy. "Bee, was getting worried?" With a scoff, I raised an eyebrow. In my short time meeting him the yellow robot seemed to be the epitome of a strict leader-not a worried mess.

"Yes," a voice spoke up. "Where were you anyways?"

I glanced past Rusty to see Bee walking over to his. Strongarm and Sideswipe following behind. All seemed relieved to see me.

"Uh," I scratched the back of my head. Something in my heart warned me to not speak of last night especially because they all would think I was crazy.

Frowning, I came up with an idea. "I couldn't sleep so I went on a walk to clear my head."

"Oh really?" Bee folded his arms, raising an optic at me. "I assumed you found the creek than?"

"Yes!" I nodded, trying to seem calm and composed as I folded my arms. "It was very beautiful, and I threw rocks and-"

"Uh, Y/N," Rusty tapped me on the shoulder.

    I looked at him. "What?"

    Bee bent down so he was my level. "There is no creek," he glared at me, and I knew there would be no more excuses allowed. "So why don't you tell me what really happened?"

uh-oh, Y/N are in a lot of trouble now hehehe how will you explain what happened to Bee when you don't even understand what happened yourself?
