A few days have passed since I've seen the vision of the two girls murders, Ratchet said him and I would talk when Optimus went on a mission. Which is exactly what Optimus did today, he went on a mission with most of the Autobots including Bumblebee. Ratchet was in the medbay as I quietly entered, he turned and saw me, immediately closing the large door.

"Ok, so what did you have to tell me?" I asked.

"Alright. Optimus told us to never speak of it with him around, but since you're one of the humans who has come here, I will tell you who came before you." Ratchet said.

"The first was a teenager named Lisa, she was the Blonde haired girl with brown eyes you saw in your vision. She was here for only a matter of 3 weeks before...Well you know. The second who came here was Kate, the 'redhead' you saw. She wasn't even here a week before her untimely demise. She was 22. All of us Autobots got to know them very well, as well as the other girls who came here." He continued.

"Who were the others?" I ask.

The medic sighed deeply as I said that. He sounded like he didn't want to say, and I completely understand why. 6 girls who came here were murdered, which is something that makes my blood boil. I took a deep breath. Ratchet looked like he was thinking hard, he snapped his digits like he got back his train of thought.

"The others were Morgan, Olivia, Georgia, and Shannon." Ratchet said.

The name Shannon immediately caught my attention. That's the name of my deceased sister who passed away 2 days after she was born, 2 years before I was born. I doubt it's her, I mean she was 2 days old when she had heart failure. But the name caught my attention.

"Shannon?" I asked.

"Yes, she had come to this world only 2 years ago. Only then we were stationed in Washington DC. She was 18, so she was your age." Ratchet said.

My eyes widened. She's 2 years older, still gotta be a coincidence. No way it's my sister, I never even met her.

"She actually looked similar to you, like your sibling. She was also a lot like you as well. But the strange thing was, she was kinda like a ghost. I can't quite put my digit on it." Ratchet continued.

My sister...the one who supposedly died from heart problems, was murdered..? Wait, he said she was like a ghost, that makes no sense. Why would she be here, already dead? Tears pricked at my eyes and ran down my face. Ratchet noticed my tears and looked concerned.

"Was she your sister...?" He asked.

I nodded, "She passed away 2 days after her birth because of heart failure, so how could she have POSSIBLY come here?"

"I don't understand myself, I'm more confused now than before. But she said before she disappeared, 'I have something to take care of.' And we never saw her again." Ratchet said.

Okay, that's mega strange. Like a ghost, she had something to take care of. I can't put my finger on it either, maybe I could ask Optimus when he gets back. No no, that's a bad idea. I look at the relic on my wrist, and I began to hear whispering in my left ear.

"Go with Optimus to where he found the relic...." a voice said, unsure if it was male or female.

"Uh, ok." I said aloud.

"Pardon?" Ratchet asked.

"I just heard a whisper telling me to go with Optimus to where he found the relic." I told him.

The medic was rather confused. Didn't he hear it? His audio receptors should've been able to hear it, right? At least you would think so, Transformers hearing is superior.

"I heard nothing." Ratchet said as the large door to the medbay began to open.

It was Optimus who opened the door, catching us both by surprise. He was on a mission! He shouldn't be back yet. He gave us both a strange look before somewhat shaking it off.

"Optimus? I thought you were on a mission." I said.

"It appeared to be a false alarm." He seemed a bit off, like he was a bit jealous.

"Then it would seem that you get to relax, old friend." Ratchet told the Autobot leader.

Optimus nodded his helm and looked at me.

"Hey Optimus, can I ask you a question?" I ask.

"Of course. What is it?" She asks.

"Um, can you and I go to where you found this relic? I'm curious." I told him.

He was a little surprised by my question, but he nodded.

"That is alright. We can do that." He said as he gently picked me up and set me on his shoulder.

Optimus walked out of medbay with me on his shoulder. As we were headed out, I saw Bumblebee talking to Ironhide and Hound, they saw us and Bumblebee gave me a subtle thumbs up with a smug look on his face. Oh Bee....you may be my best friend here but you are such a punk.

Optimus transformed into a truck and I landed in the driver's seat this time. Woohoo drivers seat. The seatbelt went over me gently and he started driving out of the base. I wonder how long it took to get there. Oh well, it's time with Optimus that I've been looking forward to. I lean back in the seat as we start driving down the long road.

"Sky, you were talking to Ratchet about the previous humans, weren't you?" Optimus asked firmly through his radio.

My eyes widened as he said that, I was silent. How the hell did he know? What gave him that indication? I felt myself heat up with embarrassment.

"I am not angry with you, Sky. I just want to know." He said.

I sighed, "Yes, I was. But only because I had a vision of 2 of the girls who were murdered."

Optimus screeched to a halt, causing me to be slammed into the seatbelt which locked.

"You WHAT?? How is that possible?" He asked.

"I don't know how, but maybe going to where you found this relic can clear that up." I rubbed where the seatbelt almost sliced me in half.

"My apologies, and perhaps you are right." He said.

I took a deep breath as he started driving again. Good thing there weren't any cars behind us, or that could've been bad. I lean back against the seat with a sigh.

|2 hours later|

We arrived at where Optimus said the relic was, and WOW I'm surprised. It's the Knight Ship, the ship from the 4th movie. It looked like it had crashed here and has eroded for years. I got out of the truck cab and Optimus transformed. Hmmm.....suspicious.

"Optimus? That's the Knight Ship..." I said nervously.

"Indeed it is, but it has been abandoned for years it seems." He said as he headed towards it.

I cautiously follow behind him. The Knight Ship has given me NIGHTMARES. Well, from age of extinction. Who knows? This may just be the Knight Ship before Lockdown took it over, then again it may not. Dangit I'm confusing myself.

Optimus went in first as I slowly followed behind, afraid to look. No strange vibes in here, I look and see no cages or anything indicating a prison whatsoever. I took a huge sigh of relief that there was nothing prison like, which is a fear of mine. I have a fear of being incarcerated....

I start to feel a strange vibe off in a certain direction, and by an unknown reason I begin to follow it. It leads down a very long corridor, there is something down there.
