The Promise

Ratchet came back inside with Sam and Rover in his servo, Sam had the soup in his hands and was smiling as he got off and sat down next to his sister, 

"Here!"

Mazikeen smiled and slowly sat up and leaned against the wall and Sam frowned softly as he saw his sister wince, 

"Are you okay?"

Mazikeen nodded and ruffled his hair, 

"Nothing to worry about, Sammy,"

She looked at Ratchet and Jazz, 

"I know this sounds rude, but can you let Sammy and I talk for a sec?"

Jazz slowly nodded, 

"Okay, sure,"

Ratchet stared at her, 

"If I come in to find you in more pain, you will be on full surveillance,"

Mazikeen saluted at him, 

"You got it, Ratch,"

"I will go with them,"

The two Autobots left with Rover, and Sam frowned, 

"What's wrong?"

Mazikeen grabbed his hand with her right hand, 

"Talk to me,"

Sam finally let his tears fall as his grip on her hand tightened, 

"You left! You left. You promised that you wouldn't leave permanently. But you almost did! And it hurt. I had no idea how to do anything when Mom and Dad got that call. It felt like I lost a part of myself Maze. I can't lose you! I want you to come home,"

Mazikeen sighed softly,

"Oh, Sammy...You will never truly lose me,"

Sam shook his head, 

"B-But I did...I did when you left five years ago,"

Mazikeen felt tears leave her eyes,

"Y-You felt that way this entire time?"

Sam looked away from her and nodded, 

"Y-Yeah...Dad said I should be supportive...that you were finding your purpose...And I tried...I tried so hard Maze. But as the years went by...and I could only call you once a month...it was hard...I wanted to tell you everything, Maze...but I couldn't,"

Mazikeen frowned,

"I am here now, Sammy. I promise that I will call you,"

Sam looked at her, 

"You aren't coming home...are you."

Mazikeen looked down and shook her head, 

"I don't think I can,"

Sam frowned, 

"What do you mean you can't?"

Mazikeen sighed, 

"I...I don't know how to live a life without fighting, Sammy,"

"B-But you can learn!"

Mazikeen shook her head, 

"I...I have nightmares...I can't,"

Sam frowned, 

"Not even after this?!"

Mazikeen looked at Sam, 

"I can't face them,"

Sam frowned,
