When someone is in trouble a beam of some sort goes off. Like a beam for the key earlier. Sometimes it a little blue orb. Sometimes it’s a bright line on the ground. The leads the way. It’s completely random. Like it can be line then orb then line, it could be beam then line then orb. Once it was line 6 times then went to beam and orb again. They were all different scenarios. But one thing they have in common is that something need my help.
When any of my charms break it “shows” me a path to the one in need. Only i can see. K said he can see it sometimes but i also hang out with him a lot. Some my magic might run on him. When i told him about it. His reaction was “ like that episode of fairly odd parentswith the substitute Mrs. Sunshine.” When he say my confused face he said never mind. I was like okay.
After that ramble. I should get back on topic. The charm broke and now it is showing me an orb and it toke me to the roof top and leading me to the park i think. Maybe Central Park I don’t know, let alone care. Right now I was trying to focus on not falling or tripping. The orb leaded me to an opening and stop moving like a movie put on pause.
“ what am i here for?”
I heard a sound whine sound. Who ever it was EXTREMELY upset. It was coming from inside the park. Looking at the orb confuse. It went up and down as like it trying to say yes, or that what you are here for. Looking away from the glowing light.
“ i wish you can talk so it not just a guessing game.”
What I didn’t know was the orbs was shaking as if it was laughing. It kept laughing until it faded away into nothing. One thing I learned was expect the in expected, or it pointless to play what is it or what has happen. I try not to guess, but sometimes it’s hard not to guess. Sometimes i think it’s an abuse story or a child gets extreme lost. A drunk man getting robbed. I would never guess this. Not for a thousand years.
The scene smell like blood and tears. Seeing the yellow raincoat. I knew it was buster but his coat was duller and there was another color on it. The color red. That was not a good sign. The red was not just on him it was sprawled on the side walk. Somehow it gotten on the black lamp post. He was hugging something against his chest. Clinging to it for dear life. It wasn’t an object it was a being. I saw the brown and white colors. Oh no.
Buster was holding Altan for dear life. Altan was bleeding. “What happen?”
“Those pricks.”.
The pricks he talking bout a bunch of people that don’t like what they call the low life’s. The ones that don’t have homes or jobs. The ones where they pretend that nothing will be wrong. The ones that thinking engorging the problems will make it go away. Stuff doesn’t go away. People don’t go away. The worst part is that most of them are teenagers that are influenced by there parents. These teenagers are troublemakers. The adults are to busy working that they cant do the shenanigans themselves. So they let there kids do the trouble for them. There little stunts have been nothing but words, never any indication of violence. I would never expected this from anyone let alone someone just learning how to drive a car.
What hurt the most was I couldn’t do anything. I was no vet and there was no way he was going to live long enough to get to one. My extra equipment was left at Noah because i was in a rush here. Even if i run at full speed there and back. She lost to much blood to survive. No one likes to say the truth, but it was loud and clear.
Feeling hopeless and no solution in site. I kneel next to buster. I petted the injured one. Buster didn’t jump. He just let me be. The sound of sobs and hingeing in my ear was deafening. Trying so hard not to feel useless, i rub Altan head and told her she a good girl.
“Let my power shine make the clock reverse. Bring back what once was ours. Heal what has been hurt, change the fates design. Save what has been lost bring back what was ours. What was ours.
While saying/singing those words. My hand began to glow. Like it did with spelling but it wasn’t green like last time it was yellow. Yellow and bright. My body and mine were apart. I didn’t realize I was doing anything. The last thing I remember doing myself was rubbing Altan head. Tell how good she is. Then she began to kiss me. I was confused. What happen? Did i do that and it’s thing that k says i do. I zoned out the situation because it was too much for me.
Like always i had no time to think. I felt relief when i knew she was okay. I didn’t care that i didn’t know, what happens or how she was suddenly able to walk around. I was definitely crying my heart out. That feeling whatever it was, cut short. Buster was feeling more than happiness.
"What are you? How did you do that? "
I forgot buster was there. Why dose he look scared?
“What are you? "
He was backing up get away from me. The scene felt like a human and a predator. He was the human and i am the predator. But that was not the scene. if anything i am kitten getting yelled by his owner. Him being scared was scaring me.
"Buster. I am sli-" i began to say.
"What was that light. What else can you do. Can you control minds like you do bodies. Did you mess with my dog."
He was doing a defense mode. He was turning into a predator. He was ready to attack me. Altan was whining. She didn’t want us to fight. Trying to show use she okay. Like it would stop the fighting.
“Buster let’s clam down an-“
" don’t tell me to clam down. You did something that….. did something. go away. I never want to see you again."
The one word i would never use with Buster scared or afraid. In that moment i was terrified. This was not the buster i knew. This isn’t the Buster that always had a smile. The one i shared my money and food with because he was nice to everyone else’s besides me. This was not the Buster i platonically love. This has to be a dream right. When i close my eyes. I was going to wake up on the Diaz’s couch or in the back of Reek’s car. Just like i did this morning.
Buster held something in his hand. I could not tell you what it was, only that it was aimed at my head. I turn and was running my feet to the ground trying to get a move on. My hands landed on… water? Realizing my surrounding. Water was everywhere. My body was soaked, when did it start raining. When i gotten up i heard a clunk form next to me. I didn’t want to look behind me. Still believeing this was some type of dream but body didn’t have the same belief, began to run. To where I don’t know. I was too busy feeling scared and what ever else i felt.
At some point i began jogging and finally began to feel the cold. I couldn’t read the street signs because of how dark, plus with the rain everything became blurry. My backpack was at Noah’s place. That also met my phone was there. No contact with K. I felt lost and vulnerable for the first time in years. The unknow was scaring me. What could i do?
While my tears were blending in with the rain. I didn’t hear the noise behind me. I saw the light reflecting off the water before i noticed the noise. The light disappear. Then a car was next to me. I saw the sliver coat before the door open. I realized that no one was inside.
“ i would get in before you turn into water.”
Mirage. How did he even find me. I walk to the door and hop in. I was ready for tonight to be over.
When the door was close, the car began to move. We were probably going to Noah’s place again. I went to fetal position, it just felt right to hug my knees to my chest. I felt so much that i couldn’t comprehend. Did i lose buster. How am i a monster. Did i save Altan? There was so much that happen and I couldn’t make a sense of it.
"Want to talk about it?"
Shaking my head no, my eyes went to look out the window. It may have been blurred from the rain but it was better than my head. Nothing was said for the rest of that night. We both were driving down the cold empty streets. I couldn’t began to explain how i was feeling, but the streets represent part of my emotions.
Meanwhile
the only sound that was heard in the quiet night was a Nokia phone. It buzz against the couch, until someone pick up the said phone. when the button clicked was when they began to hear other voices.
“Sliver please explain, why you are jump on roof at this late at night."
" I would like to figure that out."
k eye turn into shock when, it was not the person he thought he would hear.
" Who are you?"
" My name in Noah?"
" Let me guess she left her whole bag at your place. then ran off randomly?"
" yep."
" Did her bracelet snap or was it something else?"
"bracelet, how did you know?"
" Not the first time, someone need her."
while moving the speaker part of the phone away from his mouth. k began to walk up some stairs.
"hey t and v. I know that you are getting off but let the next shift know that 1. I want camera on sliver, until I say other wise. 2. seen the live feed to the office?"
While multiple confirmations where said. K open the glass door to the room above all the computers. the sound of button being press. Papers being shuffle. the click of computer mouse. were muffle as soon as the door closed.
" Can you please explain what going on with silver?"
k put the phone on speaker while he sat down.
" I can't say anything, I am sorry."
"why not?"
" rule is sliver has to tell you."
"why not you, mr?"
" because you are part of sliver world. I would gladly tell you if i meant you but when star goes on these adventures, I can't jump in."
" why is that?"
" because she will go completely AWOL. she will not contact me at all. so I will have to do this massive hunt for her. It just simpler this way."
" what?"
" something happen her and she need to walk away for a bit."
" that how she in New York?"
" yea. the only way I was going to let her go bye herself, is that she keeps contact every 3- days unless other wise."
" you sound like a parent."
K was chuckle. " I guess somedays."
" how and when will she tell me."
" when she trust you."
there was nothing else said. K knew what he wanted to say, because K was there at one point in his life.
" I guessing she left her bag there?"
" yes. it's actually next to me."
" it won't be long now."
" what do you mean?"
" how st- I mean sliver works is that. she always have her bags on her. they are a life line in fact. leaving them there means she trust you enough to leave them."
K look at the screen. to see that sliver ran into the park. going back and relaxing again he focus his Conversation with Noah.
" what do you mean life line.
" well if she docent have her phone or not answer me. I would kill her. no, if, and, or, buts."
" you do sound scary."
K snorted at the comment. " sure lets okay with that." looking at the computer K notice a light in the little group. it was a sign that he was going to have a lot of cleanup to do. it was also as sign to cut his conversation.
" Look Noah, I have to go. Someone need my help here."
" this might sound crazy but this helps a lot."
" I know it will always feel like she docent trust you or that there something she doing but won't say, but look at the little things. she leave her bag with you. She is probably sleeping there. it won't be lone until she says something."
"okay"
That simple okay was sort of was a nod, that they understood each other. that Noah couldn't ask anymore question even thought he wanted to. K couldn't tell him, even if he wanted to. The phone ended on an understanding that they both have to do some waiting.
when k knew the call was ended. he pull open the draws next to him. he need to do something real quick before he forgot. he pulled out a stack of files. he saw that reek was the first file. he put it to the side. saw what said kris Diaz and Brenna Diaz. h tossed those with reek. he found what he was looking for. he grab a sticky note and put under Noah face's.
a good one. sliver trust? look into?
Closing the file. he put the family together pushing the files to the side. There was one underneath. It was someone wearing a yellow rain coat. he looked back at camera and notice the same raincoat.
" looks like I will add notes to you also."
holding buster file he got up and went to the door.
I am sorry for everything. I have been struggling with this story and other things. I been struggling just sitting down and doing it. I struggling with my depression and anexity. I have a lot going on. hopefully. I will get more Energy soon. so enjoy the story.

“Oh, come on honey. You need to relax.”
“I know my gem. I am just worried.”
“Your brother has promise you that this will be the safest spot. He will never find us here.”
“That might be true, but Unicron is full of surprises.”
“Sliver. sliver.”
I felt like someone was violently shaking my body. I must have pasted out when I hit the floor. Why did I do that again? opening my eyes my vision was blurry. Still dizzy I jumped into action. I just had a feeling that I need to get up. When I saw Noah eyes, everything was coming back to me. I see Elena running out of the room.
“Go” I pointed at the door. He was a few steps ahead. I put my hands on the table so I can give myself the last push. I felt something pressing against my hand. when I completely got off the ground. I saw that it was a gem a red gem. It went into my pocket. There was no time to looked at it. I started running after them. There were multiple statues of the bronze age. I also saw a metal spider that was about to attack the girl. Without thinking I grab the spear and just toss it at the metal spider things before it touches a single hair on her head. I don’t know how I got it square in the head. the was way I move it felt like I tossed it multiply times. Felt like this was not the first time I have held a spear. I know how to fight in many ways, but never with the spear. Seriously, this my first time hold a spear.
“Sliver move.”
That right no rabbit hole, right now. even though I want to continue. I saw both people run to the doors. I followed they slammed the door after I went through. They began to barricade the exit. I was trying to get my heart back to normal. Well, more calmed down. Looking at both, I whispered a thank you. they nod and your welcome back. they lead and I follow. Lasers were flying everywhere. Explosions coming from anywhere. Out of the noises there was one line that was getting louder. One sentence kept getting louder.
“Put me down.”
The wooden pergola was mash to bits because mirage was tossed on it.
“Oh, that was so scary.” Rolling over and looking at us. “Oh, cool your still alive!”
Once mirage was on his two feet. We hear crashing behind us. there were those robot spiders again.
“Sliver, Noah, get out of here.”
Mirage ran right to the metal insects. The three of us just ran. We had no real destinations. Just anywhere that had no explosion. All the sudden we were getting shot at, by the orange guy. when we reach the stone pillars. So much was happened, and my curiosity kept want to look around so fast. I could go and look. My survival instincts said no though. Ahead of me I heard Noah and Elena say something but couldn’t understand it. Arcee somehow gotten above us and said, ‘get out of here.’ then did a battle cry. we were in the parking lot when a small metal ball hit the ground a few feet in front of us.
“Move.” I said and yanking both of their arms. Then everything just flashed. I was flung backed, releasing their arms. My head hit the ground again making it hurt. My eyes saw some flashes. They were moving to fast. I couldn’t make and any sense.
It looked like a family. big metal people like mirage and his kind. Two brothers and a sister. Sister looks younger, maybe by two years. Then the girl maybe a teen or early 20s, was kissing a guy. My eyes filled with red. And hearing someone screaming ‘Run, my little Nova. Keep them safe.’
I don’t recognize any of this. who the hell is the three people. who was this, Nova. what is going on? when my ears and eye stop ringing. I hiss in pain as I pushed my back off the ground. When the purple flyer landed on her feet.
“don’t be frightened, humans. This'll all be over soon.”
“don’t count on it.” I spoke out of nowhere. With confidence that was nowhere in me. My voice said that before my brain thought it.
She just chuckles, grabbing the key then flying off. I began to get on my feet when I began to hear metal clashing behind me. looking away I saw scrouge stepping on primes back.
“You call yourself a prime. Primus would be ashamed.”
Seeing the yellow bot scrambling towards scourge with the axe. Trying save his leader. Failed when scrouge turns around and stabbing bee. Bee whimpers in pain and dropping the axe. I was getting the strength to getting back on my feet.
“I am tired of little things getting in my way.”
“No….no not again.” I whispered.
I saw he was moving his blaster, to the yellow one’s heart. I am guessing.
“NOOOOO!”
Out of instinct I toss the gem I found in the lab earlier. It landed on what would be a human ankle. It attached. like it was made of metal and was had a magnetic pull. How can a stone turn into a magnet. I couldn’t think of a how, but the stone was in the air with the bot. with no sign of it falling. It turns from red to a purplish blue.
When scrouge pulled the trigger. The blaster went off. They both went flying. bee was flung but the closer he gotten to the ground. the slower he became. When he was inches. Of the ground. he lands with a light thump. While scourge was flung, like A kid tossing his toy across the room. The power of the blaster somehow lifted thousands of specs of dirt. Bits of stone, dirt, concrete, and dust was in the air. It somehow made it look foggy. So much that everyone, robots, and humans. Lifted their arms or turned away to cover their eyes.
Noah Diaz
When the dusted began to settle again. I saw the black and yellow bot on the ground. Showing a bluish-purple beam. it was not enough to replace the yellow color schemes. Optimus was running to his hurt comrade. Just looking around. I just wanted to see all the damage. I saw something moving in the corner of my eye. There were footprints appearing in the grass. Almost like bigfoot came around. The feet kept appearing, like a ghost leaving prints. There was no indication off a being there. bits of rocks began to float up from the ground. no massive rocks. Like a human hand size rock.
One of the bad guys threw a pillar. the pillar was aimed at the invisible bigfoot. stone turn from a white stone to a blueish purple glow, seem like the purple was slowing it down. gave a good resistance. About 5 inches form invisible man, it froze. Leaving the foundation flying in the air with a periwinkle glow.
The bubble was toss in the ocean. Without a care in the world. Then a purple glow was around the only aliens that was trying to hurt mirage and his friends.
they tossed to the edge of the island. Getting up off the ground. doing their best to get in to fighting pose. Trying to be quick on there feet. They were stumbling to get on their feet.
Mr. leader was doing what all classic villains do when they get up. he was doing it all full of himself stance. One thing was for sure, whatever thing was making the rocks float They were ready to do some more fighting.
“LEAVE!”
This voice had power. Like queen power. It made me want to leave. When the leader was standing up. he did a wicked villain laugh. The laugh that the craziest of villains do. it just missing lighting to go with the rhythm.
“Looks like we got a neutral.” Said Scrouge
“Maybe we get a real fight,” said a purple bot.
There was a screech. a massive metal bird was flying above all of us. it put a wall of flame between good and the. Bad.
“Maximal.” Said the third wheel.
“This is definitely going to be a real fight.” She was getting ready to get her weapons out.
“No. We got what we came for.”
The bad guys were running away. this is the first time that villains got away with what they wanted. They didn’t do the classic I going to keep fighting, because we are so full of ourselves and overconfident.
Sliver
When the flames were put up. the ones behind it became nothing of importance. Know the fire put the fight to an end.
“BEE?”
Everyone turn shiny yellow bot. yellow was getting brighter and brighter. while the purple was shrinking. It may have been shrinking but it was still there. they all try to touch bee. They were shocked back. like those electric fences. All of mirage and his friends were filled with shocked. the bird landed and began to talk.
“We must go now. Come with me.”
This metallic bird was gorgeous. Form its yellow eyes to the shiny metal that was on her body. When I really looked into her eyes. My mind went back to that race that I saw early. The falcon was the bird that was following. This flying being was from there.
“Air razor” I whispered.
I don’t know how I don’t know when, but we found another abandon area. A place where all of them can be safe to un transform. Bee was put to the side. leaving Noah and Elena, I went to where my gem was and tried to pull it off. I didn’t get shocked. The gem was stuck there. it wouldn’t come off. I went to his face and pat it. my hand glowed green like it did with apeling. I sat down and left my hand there.
“What happen?” I whisper. Hopping the wind would give me an answer.
“The gem has put him in a state of unconsciousness.”
“Why is that?”
“Scourge has done a lot of damage. There not enough energen to heal him. so, instead of being a wake and in pain. he asleep for now. Until otherwise.”
“Is there anything I can do?”
“You did more than enough.”
I felt the other being I was talking to left. it gave me the answers, but I wasn’t satisfied. I want to do more. But there nothing I can do.
“No offense, lady, but who are you again?”
“My name is Airazor. I am Maximal. A warrior from your past and future.”
So, I was right about her name and her race, but my questions still stand. How and why?
“Oh, right! That-- that track. Yeah” said mirage while he walks away doing the cuckoo face. When all people think someone is nuts. Knowing that I need to be part of this conversation. I stood up.
“I will do what I can to make you better, I promise.”
I walk back to Noah and Elena at. I began to feel that mirage was looking for me. I don’t know why but he did. I pop into Noah vision when he started to get worried.
“We fled our home planet on the eve of this destruction. We sought refuge and hid here on Earth.” Said Airazor.
The scene of Apeling and scourge came to me. the last 10 second came to me. I looked up and saw Unicron eat the Maximals world.
“Alright, so you’re a Maximal, y’all are Autobots, what was those things that attacked us earlier?” said Elena.
“Terrorcons. Servants of a dark, hungry god who feeds on entire worlds to sustain himself.”
“Unicorn.” I whisper while prime said it out loud. Again, that scene came back to me. it shook me to the core.
“So, you're saying’ this thing, Unicron, eats planets to survive?” said mirage
“Yes. And he imbues his servants like Scourge with dark energy, which makes him all but invincible. He is entirely beholden to Unicron. Through his power, he possesses Scourge’s soul.”
Look of worry was on everyone.
“Like the devil?” I whisper.
“What about the neutral?” ask Elena.
“I did you neutral?”
“Scrouge said something about a neutral. just before you came in.,” said mirage.
“Can someone explain to me what a neutral is.” Said Noah.
“I can only tell you what I know? Unicron was always the god of evil, but he was not always alone. He had a twin and a younger sister. His twin what the symbol of good. The brothers always fight each other, while the sister was the one that was always in between them. she loves both brothers. She was given the title neutral. that is all I know of the legend.”
“My old mentor told me before the war, that a neutral power is as powerful and mysterious. Unicron wanted him to join her side and rule as one. but like primus she saw the good in freedom. She turned Unicron offer down. then disappear. Leaving no trace.” Said prime.
He must mean Alpha Trion. If my visions are right.
“As much as I love stories, but the bigger question is that scrouge has the key. now my planet is danger is there a way to stop.” said Noah.
“He doesn't have the key. At least, not all of it.”
“Did you break it in half.” I ask.
“You call it little one. We broke the key in to two pieces for safe keeping, then split it, and went into hiding. I do not know where the other half is. For all I know, I am the last of our kind.”
“it’s in Peru”
“How do you know?” I ask
“It's the symbols on the stone. They were only ever recorded in one other place in the world. The Inca Temple of the Sun in Kuzco. It's one of the oldest buildings in the Western Hemisphere. I'm guessing that can't be a coincidence.”
“If you can track those symbols to Peru, so can the Terrorcons. We need to get there before they do.” said Arcee.
“ we are not taking an humans, it was there fault that we lost it in the first place.”
“and then kill Scourge and take his piece to complete the key.”
“The Transwarp Key is our only way home.” said prime.
“If this dude gets a hold of that thing, it's game over for Earth! Our families, everybody. I'm going.”
“Out of the question.”
“No offense, but I'm not trusting my home to a guy who couldn't even protect his. This is my-.”
“Noah! Enough!” I scream.
He shows fear in his eye. I never scream at least to them. he has never saw me scream. He back down.
“Prime I know you want to fix this problem on your own. you need help. We may not be a big as you, or tough as you. we are smaller and can get into the human places. Please let us help you.” I ask.
Noah sees a bot that just angry at everything. Elena may see a big brother. what I see is a man that trying to make everything right. he made a mistake, or a plan and a wrench was tossed in it. I see the real him and I was in his seat before. I saw his eyes soften. I want to say more but Airazor started talking.
“What about you?”
“Me?” ask Elena
“What is your name?”
“Elena”
“Elena. Will you lead us to this temple?”
“Chance to stop the end of the world.” Said Noah
“Actually, you'll be saving two worlds.” said Arcee.
“Yes. I will.” Said Elena
I can't tell you what happen after words. The next thing I know is that I was in the passage seat of the 911 Carrera. Noah in the driver seat. “Driving.” To his place. My body and mind feel apart. I was not all there. it could be that my brain had a lot to process.
There is a god that going to eat our world. unlike Noah, I knew about Unicron this morning because of my dream this morning. I thought that just that a dream. Like apeling said on the roof “there more than meets the eye” whether It’s to this situation or my life or whatever I am. as far as I know I am human. But aliens weren’t real until the whole reek stealing car situation. The black wolf who I am guessing is midnight star. (Like Apeling said in his final moments.) I am getting her memories or parts of her life. Then I am seeing shooting star memories too. She saved mirage and was at a library with prime. These are two completely different being. ones an autoboot and the other is maximal. The only thing they have in common is the Star in their name.
Why is a human like me getting the memories of two aliens. How am I seeing segments of their life. I was getting confused and angry all over again, but at this point, I have time to at least look at these thoughts. That not the worst part, it’s that I am going to have an aneurysm.
What snap me out of all this was when Noah lightly touches my shoulder. Looking at him. I see that he was trying to talk to me.
“I am sorry, what?”
“I was trying to see if I can drop you off at your place or somewhere?”
Now finally realizing that I was still in my spy gear. I pulled off the glasses and the bag back in the back.
“Can I stay at your place tonight?”
Seeing the shock in his place. You can tell he was not expecting that.
“I don’t think, anyone will mind. Can I ask why?”
“I don’t feel like being alone tonight.”
“Are you not trying to avoid this k guy?”
“That too.”
“How come I never heard of this k guy?”
“For many reasons. One of them is that I want to stay away for a bit longer.”
I could feel both boys’ eye on me. even though mirage transformed. I don’t want to think how he can see me. I already am doing whole rabbit whole with this whole situation. I don’t need another.
“Sliver what really going on.”
I didn’t answer I was just wanting it to stop. I want this pain and questions to stop. I have no idea why I am so different and what so great about me.
“it’s been a long day.” Was the only thing I said.
I look out the window and felt something slide down my face. Nothing else was spoke at all. I saw the lights change with every sign we passed. To me the colors we blob of colors. That was it. my brain hurt to make sense. One second, we were in the car the other I held my bag to my back and began to climb the stairs. I was laying on the couch.
“Yo, is that you, Sonic?” said tails
“What you are doing up, Tails?” Noah asks in the walkie talkie.
“I can't sleep.”
He looked at me. “Go I will be okay.”
I sat on the family couch. Putting my bags under the coffee table. So, no one would fall and get hurt. I somehow still have my phone, in my hand. sending a quick text to k ‘I’m okay.’ I need to process today. Pulling out my journal. I began to write.
As of this day, I have experienced a lot. To much at this point. I keep seeing points from someone past, or should I say being. there this alien race. I don’t know what they are really called, but I know their names: shooting star and midnight. They were young people in their time. midnight wanted to become a leader. While star is just smart. She was under prime wing at one point. that is all the information I have gather and understood to this minute. I want to know more about them and what happen to them.
I hear the sound of cars alarms. Scared me so bad that there was a slash of black across the page. seeing a big light in kris room. I fumble off the couch and scrambled to his room, thinking something was wrong. when kris door open. the light was from mirage. Kris said something about getting a bat and Noah trying to take the bat away. Noah passes me trying to put the bat away and seeing if all of this woke up his mom. Kris was trying to get ab better look at mirage. I just followed the kid. Just out of instinct. When I was fully out of the window. kris grab something and toss it at mirage roof.
“Yo! You scratched my paint!” said mirage. scaring the kid. Kris jumped. I put my hand on kris shoulder, hoping that it will calm down. I felt his muscles relaxed a bit.
Noah yelled whisper “What are you doing?
“Man, they didn't treat ET like this.” Said a frustrated mirage.
“You know this thing?” Kris was getting away from the wall to get a better view of his older brother.
“Yeah, we're just... work friends.”
“Work friends? You've been inside me.” said mirage. I snorted at his comment. I cover my nose and mouth. looking away from the brothers. I looked at mirage and saw him smirk at his reaction. he had a satisfied smile. The smile when people in the movies when something goes to plan. Like he wants to make me smile but was even more impressed that he gotten a snort.
“Look, the thing I told you that me and sliver, have to go do? It's for him and his crew.” Said Noah.
“We're trying to stop the end of the world.” Said mirage.
“The world ending?”
“No!” me and Noah said sternly.
“Maybe. Sixty-forty.”
I gave mirage a look. It shut him right up. I move to the area behind kris. so, Kris and Noah have their brother moment.
“You know I'm not goanna let that happen. But that's why I have to leave.”
“I'll go get my things.” said kris
“What? No. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on. You--you're not coming.”
“Why? You need someone to watch your back.”
“It's too dangerous, Kris. And I need you to stay here and take care of Mom.”
“Cause you might not come back.”
Noah was looking at me. pleading that I say something to at least stop Kris form doing something stupid. I was thinking or away to let him down gently. Before I could say any of my ideas. Kris began to turn to mirage.
“Hey robot.”
“Me? What's up?”
“Watch out for these two. Okay?”
“You got it, little man.”
“Nah, I'm serious. If they gets hurt, I'm coming after you.”
“Don't worry. I got they back. especially the pretty little lady. I promise.”
“Trust me I am not a little lady.”
“But you are pretty.
Kris Look back at his bigger brother.
“Home team?”
“Home team!”
Once kris angrily accepted that he had to stay behind. He was so not happy to stay behind, but knowing that people had his back. when know left foot touch the ground. one of my bracelet charms snaped. I began to panic.
“I got to go.” I pulled the handle to let the ladder down. some reason the other ladders were already down.
“Sliver where you are going. Its way to late.”
“None of your Business. I will see yo.” ______________________________________________________________
I made a post before this on. talking about the discord server that i have made. Since no one seen it or cared enough. I going to talk about it here. I was thinking my character was over powered in this chapter. so I made a post and was saying how I posted chapter 7 there and wanted some feedback. I posted on July 15th. a good 5 days before this one. So I left the chapter the way it is.
So if you want to join the discord comment: the robot you like. I will send you the link for the story
I went back to my bag and began to dig. After I found my Nokia 1011 phone, a car door open sound filled the car.
“Good hold this.”
I handed him my phone and continued digging. When I felt the plastic case. I yank it out. so, I can grab the leopard glass and a security bandage with the four diamonds likes symbol. The same diamond as my pencil case. I was beginning to put on the glasses
“Sliver what you are doing.”
“don’t worry about it.”
“Why you are complaining, she looks good.”
“I will tell you this since it won’t go against Kris promise. when you see the things, I seen. You learn how to make your paths easier. I can't tell you anymore than that.”
I saw a yellow beam when, we were beginning to drive. it must have been that energy surge. Arcee was talking about. Grabbing my phone from Noah.
“Noah please hold this,” I traded Noah the phone for the badge after I toss my bag in the back.
“I must make a phone call. Mirage, please take control so I can concentrate.”
I quickly dial a number that I know by heart. The ringers didn’t even go to the second ring when he picked up.
“YOU BETTER EXPLAIN WHATS GOING ON!!!”
I pulled the phone away from my ear when he began to screaming. mirage was laughing for some reason and begin to say drama and sing song like voice.
“k plea- “
“NO EXCUSES. WE ARE RECIVCEING A MASSIVE ENERGY NEAR YOUR LOCATION. I KNOW FOR FACT THAT YOU HAVE A HAND IN THIS. SO, YOU BETTER START TALKING.”
I heard another one of mirages smart ass remarks. It was the ‘uh oh someone is in trouble.’
“K I don’t know what’s going myself.” I lied.
“I know your lying.”
“Dam it!” I said in frustration. “I will explain the best I can later. We got at least 15 minutes until I arrive and cause mayhem.”
“Not until I get at least something.” k can be very stubborn when it comes to someone he cares about. There only one sentence I know that can make just go along with whatever I say.
“I am trying to help a family get home.”
“Wait like human home or us home.”
“Us. this is there only way right now.”
“Wait until I get there.”
“There is no time. I need you on that computer that’s 2 ft to your left.” I heard him growl, but he I hear a chair roll.
“Fine. I want a story when its safe.”
“I promise. I need you. get to Ac and Sc files and find anyone that would still be there.”
Are ten minutes from arriving the campus
“You mean the ones still on campus?”
“You got it. get T. and V. to help. I need you to make them leave.”
“All right got all 900 people. Starting to send messages. Hey t and v get to your computers and start typing. Boss says so.”
I heard some shuffling in the back.
“Good, have them say there loved one is in hospital or Their place is on fire. if you need to get someone to pull the fire alarm. Get someone to pull the fire alarm. Anything to get them to leave. Hell, if need used the symbol on anyone who there I don’t care just get them gone.”
“Okay. the messages are starting to send, is there anything else?”
“Is Jason v. Armstrong. working at all tonight?”
“You are right, he should be at the security booth.”
“Call him and get him to let-
I looked at the badge Noah was holding
“Sarah J. Kelly though.”
I leaned back in the driver seat. acting like I was driving once again.
“Okay I will call him after. it won’t be any problem.”
We were down to 5 minutes
“Do you want me to see Cam to hack the security cameras.”
“Good call. Give it an hour before they come back up.”
I hear more shuffling in the back.
“T. said that he can't get a hold of Elena Wallace. She will be in the college. The same place that energy spike is at.”
“Alright If I see, I will do what I can. Keep trying to reach her.”
“k I hear talking in the background. speak to me.”
“Got it I will call after.”
“You better women or so help me, I will drag you back by the skin of my teeth if I must. You will have stuck her until we are old grey.”
“I know you will. Friends forever.”
“We never surrender.”
I hang up and tosses the phone next to my bag.
“You, young lady is amazing.” Said mirage.
“Sliver what was that?”
“My way in making sure no one gets hurt friends.”
No other questions were asked. We began to pull up to the security booth and as soon as I showed him the badge. He didn’t look twice. He opened the gate and began to pack up around his desk. we just roll in like we own the place. Once he stopped in a random parking spot. I jump out began walking to the doors.
“Sliver wait.” He was a good few steps behind me. I pushed the door open and began going up.”
“Sliver, wait I want to talk.” Noah grabs my hand. pulling me to a stop. “Please at least explain how you did all that.”
“I can't tell you that. if I do, you will be drag into something that is far too dangerous even for me. I promised your brother I will keep you safe and keeping my mouth shut is a must, then so be it.”
“Then why help them.”
“I will tell you what, I told Optimus. I know what it’s like trying to get home.”
I began to run up the stair. Just trying to outrun him so he doesn’t go farther down the rabbit hole Like Alice did with the white rabbit. I am trying to my promise. I will not drag you into the life I have. once I saw the door. I busted it open without a second thought.
When I was in the same daydream land again.
I was in a middle of a forest. the same forest that Apeling was in. the same surface of grass and tree like statues around me.
“how did I get here?”
Really how did I go from opening a door inside a building on earth to a planet I only saw once. I heard movement to my right. when looking at the sound there was a dull orange blob coming at me. the closer it came the more it began to take shape. It was a Cheetah, but not the ones on earth. This one was larger than the ones on earth. They had more of an orange coat, then its classic yellow. Also, Its eyes where a very bright green. Aren’t cheetahs supposed to have yellow eyes?
what really caught my attention was where he was heading. Right for me. I went into fetal position. I don’t know why I did that, but I did. I was never flattening like a pancake. I felt a chill in my spine. The feeling I had with Apeling. I became a full human when I saw the cat was becoming a wobbly blob again.
I felt a breeze pass me; a grey rhino was following the cat.its seems like no one is noticing me.i might not be able to get hurt in this dream like land. Wait, am I a ghost. My thoughts where interrupt when the sound of rustling trees filled my ears. I look up and saw Apeling, but it wasn’t really Apeling. The ape looked a lot smaller and more childish. Then a bird was following closely behind the primate. The birdie looked like a raven but completely metal and with a beautiful tint of blue.
A “I can do this.” Sound was coming from where the other animals where coming form
Was coming behind me. a very dark navy-blue blob was coming closer and closer. She had an outline of a wolf. The navy coat had a dot of yellow dots, mad her fur look like a night sky, with little stars at night. there was a fire is in her eyes. Nothing was going to stop her. the more she said the line the faster she was becoming. the walking night sky was passing each animal one by one. the more living beings she passed the more confident she gotten. Before anyone knows it, she was in second place. The dog and cat were neck to neck. Both determine to not let the other pass.
“Come on Midnight. You can't pass me. so, stop while you can.
“I not giving up that easily.” The finished line was feet in front their face was nearby.
While the cheetah kept trying to decrease the dog confidence. Mr. Kitty Cat didn’t notice the little pebble in the path. didn’t notice a little pebble. With him focusing on the wolf. His paw stumble on It. the stumble gave the wolf a better chance to jump ahead. Giving midnight the win. She was holding the stick in her mouth. Once she dropped it.
“Who the fastest now?”
“I let you win.”
“Keep telling yourself that.” While the canine was rubbing the win in the cheetah face. The others came through. Rhino was 3rd. bird was 4th and the ape was 5th.
“See sis, I told you can do it.” said the rhino.
“You were right Rhinox. I had to just believe in myself.”
“I let her win.” Said the cheetah.
“Keep telling yourself that.” said the bird.
“As much as this was fun, me and Star have to go.” said the ape.
While both party wave goodbye to each other. I stayed with the other 3.
“I did let her win; I just didn’t want to see her cry.”
“I appreciate your concern for my sister, but everyone say you stumble.”
“I didn’t stumble.” said the frustrated cheetah. When no one was going to believe his lies. he spit out ‘I going to hang with rattrap.’ Then began to run again.
When the last two left saw the orange furball was far enough. The bird saw her opportunity.
“Rhinox, can I ask you are personal question?”
“Go ahead Air-razor.”
“How do you feel about their feelings for your sister?”
“it’s complicated. As a big brother, they both don’t deserve her. she can do so much better than those two. But as their friend I have seen them grow over the years. They aren’t full mature, but they are better then Tigerhawk and Inferno. I learned I can't choose who she likes but if she is happy. That all that matters.”
After he finished his sentence. Everything was twisted. It twisted into a new scene. I was back with Midnight and the little ape.”
“So, what do you think Apeling wants to tell us.” midnight asked
“Something about a key.”
“Why would we need to know?”
“I don’t know. we might want to know everything we can right now before we become leaders.”
“You mean you will be.”
“We both have the chance.”
“No, you are Optimus Primal. You are the best person to lead. You lead all the group actives.”
“you are right about that, but you are the one that has all the ideas. I do apprentice the confidence boost, but don’t put yourself down.”
“I’m ju- “
Before they could continue their conversation. They walk into a cave. Where the real Apeling was standing. He was staring over the land. Kind of like Simba and Mufasa in lion king. When Mufasa says ‘everything that touches the light is your’ scene.
“Hello young ones.”
“Hello.” The little ones say.
“Today lesson is going to be special one.”
“Is it about the key?” ask Optimus.
“You are right. the key also comes with a legend. That precedes the dawn of our civilization. there is a vile god so large and so powerful, he has to consumed entire planets for fuel. That god is name Unicron.”
“isn’t that myth. We don’t need to worry about this god.” Said the Primal.
“It Could be a myth, but we aren’t for sure. It could be real for all we know.” said the wolf.
“Star is right. if he is real, he will be after this.” Apeling gotten up and walked inside the cave. Around a pedestal with a floating diamond thing. “If Unicron gets his hands on transwarp key. there is no way to stop him. “
“What is a trans-swap key?”
“Transwarp key. have been among our kind for generations. it allows us to go from universe to another.”
“So, if Unicron gets a hold of the key. he could open a portal. To eat other worlds?” Ask Optimus.
“Yes. There will be nothing in his way.”
“But isn’t there a way.”
“What do you mean.”
“In the records before the great war. They were saying something about a sister.”
“You mean brother and yes. Him and his twin brother (Primus) would fight for centuries. Unicron himself wanted to consume the universe. Getting rid of the good. So, there is nothing left but a void of torment. Primus had other ideas; he saw that there was good in freedom. He fought his brother time and time again. trying to keep the balance to the two sides. The legend says that Primus defeated Unicron each time. he was toss in a void to never be seen again. Said Apeling.
“Shouldn’t Primus have this instead of us.”
“That is a mystery that could not be solve.”
“Why is that?” Primal finally spoke up.
“We lost contact with Cybertron eons ago. with time information gets lost. Data pads get lost or destroy. without proof, all we know is that Primus and Unicron are myth.”
“That’s why they are myths? Ask Midnight .
“Yes. That is why if there even is a chance that Unicron is real. We need to guard the key from him and whoever is under his command.” Said Apeling.
“We promise to protect the key with our lives.” Said Both or the younger Maximal.
That when the vision started to change back to the museum room. rubbing my eyes trying to get eye site back. I was facing the window that lead outside for some reason. I heard chatter in the back. a girl voice said something about stealing museum property. I couldn’t fully make out the conversation. Once my vision was clear and I can see everthign like before. I saw three bots. The other 2 where unknown but when my eyes landed on the centered being. was Scrouge. Same one form Apeling vision. Nothing about seeing him said safe. I saw his hand turn into a canon, that’s when I knew we were in trouble. Seeing that it was powering up and aiming at us I turn.
okay her is 6 I know its longer but I a struggling on remembering how the movie went. if you find any clips from the movie that would be great. I am also struggling on keeping this story simple but complitacted as well.
I went from left to right. up and down. I haven’t felt this free in a long time. I landed on a random roof. I don’t know how but I found reek car. I can spot that vehicle thing from anywhere. My green bag on the grounded. Digging though, it contents I found my walkie talkie. When it gotten in my hands, I put my green bag on my back. I twist though the channels until I heard reek
“There you go. let that breathe fill you up.”
I kind of blur out the conversations. When you are here a door and a groan. I knew he was in. now how do I get it.
I pull out my binoculars and look that building up and down. I saw that there was a car garage. There were gabs for between each level. I can go through them. on the 3rd floor there was a person that was staring at me. I would of ignore them. I if I didn’t see a hint of yellow. I twisted so I can zoom in more. It was her again. the lady from the clinic. it may have been dark, but her eyes I would never forget. They were literal stars. she pointed southeast form where she was standing. Looking at where she was pointing, it was a building that was a row under here. I would like to do a Mario super jump across, but this is real like not Super Mario world.
“We are in the mix.” said Noah.
Well looks like I am taking that route. Looking back, she wasn’t there. I jump across and donkey Kong barrel roll on to the small platform know as a roof. I saw exactly where she was. I am going to have to super jump across. Walking all the way back. I tug at my straps. Just to make sure that they were tight.
“You can do this sliver.” Said Apeling.
I closed my eyes. Trying to tune out all the doubts. Once I open my eyes and began to run across, I knew there was no turning back. as soon my foot left the ground. I just jump. I was going up for a moment my panic didn’t start setting in until I started falling.
“Push your foot down.” said a voice that was 100% not Apeling.
My body reacted on its own. foot pushing down I was going up again. my hands landed on the concrete. Breathing in and out calming my nerves. Looking at my hands and realized I was hanging on to the right floor. Pulling myself up was all I had to do. I pulled myself over and lay on my left side because of the backpack.
Once my whole body felt the cold ground. I want finally calming down.
“Apeling who was that?”
Apeling stayed silent. I want to find answers but it’s going to have to wait. I saw Noah on the other side of the room. He was getting in a sliver Porsche. I need to get to him quickly and save him from make a mistake. I speed walk across. Pulling my green bag putting it in front of me. I put my hand on the door handle. It began to glow green like they did with Apeling, door was open and my bag in my lap.
“Sliver what are you doing here” he whispered still trying to jump start the car.
“Saving you form going to jail.”
Before that argument can continue. A spark came from the radio and It began to chant.
“Calling all autoboots.”
Noah was tapping the radio trying to get the radio to go silent. Once he sat in the silence. Gears are turning in his head.it was my turn.
“Noah you are no thief. I know you are desperate for money, but this is not the way.”
After his breathing calmed down. “What am I doing?”
I heard reek talking in his ear.
“I can't.”
I heard more mumbling. The only clear word I got from that conversation was stick.
“I ain’t no thief.”
That right Noah. Don’t do the wrong thing for the right reason. Then the radio came back on.
“This is an emergency can you hear me mirage?”
He sounds so familiar. Made me go somewhere
I can't tell what was happening it was like my dreaming with Apeling and Scourge. But the land looks different. This place I was at was completely metal. No grass, no trees, not even a flake of dirt. Just solid metal. Then there were these beings that look like scourge but way friendlier. they had different colors and shapes and sizes. It’s a whole race. I saw this bot that was I guessing a 10-year-old with how she was drawing it was good but kid, like. She had a yellow skin (That the best way to explain her outer shell.) she had a splash of black. Her and there. hear eyes were the color of Periwinkle. Not too blue and not to purple just perfectly in the middle. I see her jolt up looking at something. closing her journal and walking away. when I followed her. there 3 taller bots were playing monkey in the middle. Keeping something from a smaller kid.
“Leave him alone.”
the game was stop.
“Well look who we have here. Another thing to play with.”
As the taller bot came closer. Two of them were left in the back. still holding the thing in the air.
“Please give it back to him.”
“What are you going to do cry to your carrier? Oh, wait you don’t have one.”
“You don’t want to find out.”
This kid was pushing my patience.
“Like what.”
He pinches her check like a grandma dose to their grandchild. She grabs that knock him off his feet then bend the arm behind his back and her foot was on the center of his back.
“So, you didn’t have to get taking down by girl. that is also smaller here side.”
“Breakdown and knock out get here.” The other bullies. We’re doing what their leader wanted to do.
I have a few surprises for them to find out. the blue bucker one came to me. when he was close enough, she kicked a pencil under his foot. Made him fall forward. I was lucky enough to move out of the way. Just enough for the blue one to land on his buddy. red one was standing with his fist up.
I stared at him. waiting for this noob to do something. knock out was throwing punches but he misses her each time. I twisted my feet under him when he looks like he had enough. He flops on the floor next to his pals. Walking away like a cool chick. She grabs the object started all of this. Bringing it over to the monkey. That stood in middle of room.
Handing it back, “I think this is yours,” He took it from my hands.
“T-T-thank you.”
“No problem. Let’s get you out of here.”
“okay.” dude was differently shy. They were walking away. the victim had his box, the yellow girl held drawing. They both were going their separate way.
“w-wait.” They began to look at each other but this time in the eyes. Bright blue eyes looking at these violet blue eyes.
“what’s your name?”
“Shooting Star. yours?”
“Mirage.”
The scene that was in front of my eyes twisted. Like water landing on a picture. Them having the swirls
“Mirage.” I whisper softly.
“Sliver lets go.”
Noah went to open the door. but the locks when down.
The security guard spot us. Noah went down and I pulled the lever to lean back a bit.
Noah was yelling back at the security guard. I look at the radio. Knowing there was more than meet the eye with this car.
“Mirage please do what you need to do.”
I saw the stick shift move and the car was staring to move.
“Buckle up Noah.”
Once. I readjust my seat and the buckle clicked.
“What you are doing.” Knowing he was asking the car more than me.
“He is taking us away.”
“how do you know?”
“I’m Sliver, I just know.”
Noah was freaking out and calling for reek.
“Reek can't save you now.” I said and rolled down the window enough to feel the wind on my face.
“How do I make it stop. This thing is possessed or something.”
then the lights came. Reek was saying something about how, he can't hear Noah.
I grab the mic. “You’re a coward reek.” I scream in the mic. I toss the mic in the back.
Now reek lost most of my respect. Noah was freaking out left and right screaming like a little baby. then trying those breathing techniques. For as much comfort as I can I grab his hand and held. Come on mirage lets go.
“How you not freaking out woman?”
“I trust this car.”
“How?”
“Would you believe me, if I said my gut said so.”
When we look away when the car was drive up a tower car ram. And the way Noah is screaming I am differently losing my hearing aid. When mirage step on his breaks. To do a sideways stop. The cop car on its side. a semi-truck mashed into the police car. Noah kept start to calm down.
Looking at the car radio. “Nice idea with the ramp but can't say I liked what happen to the cop.”
I look out the window. is that a beam of light? Did E.T. land?
I heard Noah repeat the word drive on repeat when more cops began to come.
“Please drive Mirage.”
That started the car. Now here we go again another police chase scene.
“The bridge.” I saw his brain working.
“Take us to Williamsburg.” We both said together.
This car thing drove to the bridge. Only one cop was on use now. He kept bagging his bumper. The car turned and we began Driving backwards. We were staring at the cop.
“Turn on you lights and flash him.” I yell.
“Now that you are flashing him. you can do whatever you have to turn around.”
Like on command. He began twisting parts. And the cars got turn around to the front. He transforms.
Why does this feel so normal and how am I okay with this.
“Come in. Come in. Can you hear me mirage.”
“Optimus prime.” I whispered.”
“Who that?” said Noah.
Looking back at him I thought I said low enough that he couldn’t hear.
“I will explain later.”
Looking up. I saw the White semi-truck. An idea. Came in my head.
“Go in front of the semi-truck and do what every trick you are thinking.”
It listens to my commands. When he was in his spot. He duplicated himself with me and Noah in the fronts.
Our Noah and sliver on the left flip off the cops. The Noah on the right was smileing like crazy while me in the car was freaking out. the opposite of what we been doing this whole time.
“Mirage.” We both said.
The police officer pasted the taxi and saw 5 mirages. We heard a loud crash and turning around we saw the cop.
“I love this car.” I screamed.
“Looking up ahead if you go up 5 blocks then turn a right there will be an abandon warehouse.”
“How do you know?”
“When I am not hanging around you guys, I am here.”
“This is the worst place to hang out. “
“I know.”
Before this conversation could go any further. Mirage Releash Noah seat belt and literally toss him out. I unbuckle and jump out, but I had a softer landing.
The metal car was changing wheels. Turned into arms. While metal man dabbled on about how to follow orders and how he can't do anything fun. The last line about him never able to be a real boy. Made me giggled.
I quietly made my way to Noah. trying to get him off the ground. Noah kept his eyes eye on mirage.
“That was fun guys, you guys are fun.”
I looked back when I felt eyes on me, and they were not Noah’s. I wrap my hand around my purse strap. When I meet his artic blue eyes. Time slowed down. like it was only the two of us. This was an older version of the mirage in my flashback. Older mirage looks better than the child version. He kneels. Closer to our height.
“This probably a lot for you.”
Mirage said without taking his eyes off me. not even one second. I hear metal scraping across the ground. pushing mw behind him.
“Back up.”
I can't blame the kid for being scared, hell I’m scared, but I know being emotional would get you to think with fear, not rational wise. Being clam and asking questions would be the best route to getting answers. With out any violence.
“Easy now, I thought after the car chase, we were boys.” He began backing up.
“Are you going to hit me?”
“Maybe.”
After that response. Mirage changed his hand into a circle with a with a blue color. Kanda like a blaster. When Noah didn’t budge an inch. I back up a bit.
“Tough guy, I like it.”
He took his canon and changing it back to his hand.
“What are you?”
“The name is mirage.”
He put his hand in a fist pump.
“Come on little tap.”
after Noah did his awkward fist pump. mirage move his hand towards me. you bet I did a better job than Noah.
“See like that.”
We all turn around when we heard more vehicles.
“Oh, great the gang is here.” He said sounded bum.
When we heard other car engines. A yellow muscle car and a pink motorcycle. They began to change like mirage did a few minutes ago.
“Noah you might want to put toss that pipe, they might take it as a threat.”
He tosses the metal pipe when blue and red robot came through the garage doors.
The yellow one was using the radio. I think his name was bumblebee because the black and yellow.
“Well, well look who we have here.”
The pink motorcycle. Was doing somersaults. Then began to ask mirage what he has done.
“You brought humans here?”
“Optimus, hey looking good man.”
“You were told to stay hidden.”
Mirage was trying to explain that we were in the car with him when Optimus called.
for some reason dream land was pulling me in again it was the same metal world place as before. The same yellow robot was walking around like she was looking for something. Shooting Star was a lot older. She was in a golden building. she was holding a metal box thing. She was differently looking for something or someone. There was a random dull golden door. bolting it open without a second thought, she ran inside. The room had many racks of square devices on each row. They are the same size as the one in Star hand.
The racks reach the celling. This was a massive room too. The area around use was blurry again so it was hard to tell what was on the shelves. A red and blue bot was nearby. With other colored being. I saw Star face brighten up. she ran up and hug the red guy.
“Hey.”
“Hello little Star.”
It was Optimus the one that mirage was talking with earlier. He looked a lot younger then the moment
beforehand.
“Star I want you to meet two of my work friends. This is Arcee and Bumblebee.”
With them saying their hellos another robot came slowly into view.
“Hello to you all.”
“What makes you come here little Star?” ask the bot that just came in.
Now this one had a purple and red color scheme. I was getting a feeling that his name was Alpha Trion.
“I got an assignment and need to do some research; thought I can come and say hi before I start.”
“I can help you look for items to help your research. So, Optimus can finish helping these two.”
“Thank Alpha Trion. bye guys.”
While Star and Alpha left, I didn’t follow I was stuck with the other 3 for some reason.
“She doesn’t know about the war dose she?” ask Arcee
“No, she doesn’t.”
“She needs to know there is a war going on.” said arcee.
“Her carrier asked me in her final moments to let her live like a child, not solider.”
“it’s not just that is it?” ask Bee. This bee wasn’t using the radio. He was using his actual voice.
Prime stayed silent. If that didn’t give an answer, then I don’t know what dose.
“You might want to tell her the truth before it’s too late.”
“I will when she is ready.”
The scene was distorted like before and I was forced back to reality. When Prime pick us up, ‘saying not cool.’ he doesn’t look like the one in the flash back. he looks more mature. The other two look like they grown a bit as well.
“Who are you humans.”
“We are no body. We didn’t see anything I not see anything right now.”
Prime looked at me.
“Call me sliver.”
When he was not happy with either answer.
“Arcee.”
when the white and pink female came to us and scan Noah face.
“Private Noah Diaz, multiple accommodations, wizard with Technology. he’s solider.”
“He doesn’t look like a solider.”
“You are looking rough as well.”
We heard a laugh form mirage and after words a quick sorry. Then he held me up. arcee scan my face.
“that’s weird. There nothing about you.”
“Nothing?” prime asked arcee.
“Not even a photo.”
“Just call me Sliver like I said.”
“I will deal with your mistake later.”
He put me and noah on top of a rack.
“Okay the energy surge was in a 4,000s range. Its undetectable to humans. I reconstructed the energy from there echoes.
“I cannot believe it existed and its here.”
“What the hell am I looking at?” Said bee.
“The Trans wrap key. it was thought ….”
Noah tapped on my shoulder and nodded his head. he saw a way down. just to humor him. I followed him. ignoring the conversation until they said Ellis Island. Noah was began to climb down the mess up latter. While waiting for him to go completely down. I tune into the conversation again. when they gotten to the part about humans there. I felt a shove on my shoulder.
“What about me, I can help.”
“How so.” Optimums began to walk towards me. acting all high and mighty
“I have a way to get all of use in a doubt.”
“Would you help us go home.” the arcee asks.
“Yes.”
“Why help us? we are completely different then you let alone trust you.”
“Because I know what is like trying to get home. you have a chance to go home. if the roles were reverse, I hope someone would help me.”
There was a massive pause. No one said a word.
“We don’t have a better plan and we are running out of time.”
“what’s your plan human.”
Completing ignoring him I look at mirage.
“Mirage, do you still have my bag?
“You mean this.” He opens his chest panel. pulling out a green bag with black strips.
“My equipment it in there. keep me in the driver seat and just drive behind us. I will take care of the rest.
Prime knowing, he was out of time had to have faith in me. We heard a clunk. Looks like Noah escape plan failed. I snorted laugh.
“Mirage takes these humans. Rest of you transform and roll out.”
I began walking towards Noah escape attempt. I leaned over. looking at a Noah that was sadly defeated.
“It was a good try, Noah.” I said with my arms cross.
“How about I help you down. “Said mirage.
Held his hand out.
“Thank you.” he had my bag in his hand. picking it up and he began transforming. I was the driver this time. I saw Noah on the outside next to the passage window. pressing the window controls.
“This is the time you make a choice. You can either walk away and go back to your normal or join us and have a story to tell.”
so I have a question at the end so please read it and answer honestly
chapters: (1) (2) (3) (4)
After our tummies were full of love and food. I help with clean up after dinner. It was the least I can do. After all they had done for me. I thought it would be a nice thank you before I leave.
“Hey mama. I am going to hang out with some friends. I will be out late.”
“Okay be safe.”
Oh, Brenna you don’t know. I thought sympathetically.
With Noah leaving, it meant I need to hurry up. I don’t want to go straight after him, incase his mom would get suspicious or the wrong Idea. Noah is going to be a very anxious, and Reek going to try very hard to calm him down. he might make Noah do some breathing exercises to calm him down. just enough for him to do the job.
“You really trust him, don’t you?”
“Yea. He has been so hard on himself for leaving the military. He been pushing so hard to get a job so he can help with bills. I am hoping this hangout will give him the break that he deserves?”
“I wish I had that growing up.” I whispered.
“What do you mean?” dam it. looks like the cats out of the bag.
“I had no one.”
“You should have someone.”
“Mother died at birth. Father was nowhere to be seen.”
“There is no family out there for you?”
“As far as I know. No one out there.”
“Well, you do have a person or people that care about you.”
“Like whom?” I am generally curious.
“Once my son stops being a chicken and asks you out. he can get you a ring. You will become a part of our then family.”
I face palm. Looks like another mother trying to set her son up. I might want to go on one date. that is true, but not for the sake of his mother. Either way I am nowhere in his League.
“In all honesty, I am very grateful, that you want me to be part of your family. But there nothing going on between us.”
“I said the same thing to my husband. when I was your guy’s age, look where I am now. I have two beautiful boys and a lifetime of memories.”
My face was heating. Yes, I want a happily ever after like any 6 or 7 years old. I was told I couldn’t.
“There nothing between us. I can promise you that, beside there are other girls out there for him. I am nowhere in that playing field.”
“Oh, you are so wrong. when Kris said he was going to find you after his appointment. Noah was asking left and right about what you guys are doing. I know he was trying to see what he could do, to sneak his way in.”
Again, as much as I want to believe her. I know there no ending with a happiness. When I put away the last plate. I knew I had to leave even thought I don’t want to. I like Brenna atmosphere.
“As much as I don’t want to. I got to bounce.”
When I put my green bag on my back. I open my purse. And pulled out another blue daisy necklace same one kris has gotten earlier that day.
“I wanted to give this to you before I leave. As a thank you for everything.”
“It beautiful. I will treasure it.”
I felt a hug at my waist. It was a little 11-year-old that we all know and love.
“Please come back.”
“I will come back when, I can.
“Will you marry my brother then.”
I snorted. Kris is way too cute. I swear this family just want me to apart of this family.
“Maybe.”
I readjust my straps. Went out the door. waved one last time. heading to the stair well. Instead of going down. I went up to the roof. Easiest way to move around in the city. I put my hair up in a ponytail. I put my bag straps tight. So, it would give me the least air resistance.
“You will need strength to jump over the roofs in time.”
Turning around to look at the voice. It was the ape from my dream earlier.
“How are you here?”
“When I left my physical form, I follow the rest of my kind. I’ve been watching over them ever since.”
“You should be with your family and friends.”
“I been watching them for the last thousands of years. Optimus primal has done a magnificent job so far. He doesn’t need me as much as you do.”
“Why me?”
“There is more to you then meets the eye.”
“I am sliver. Nothing more and nothing less. There is nothing that I have that concerns you and you giant friends.
“You really don’t remember who you are?”
“What are you talking about? I am Sliver a kid on her own in this world.”
“You are her and so much more you just don’t know it yet.”
He put his hand on my shoulder. This maximal was huge in my dream. His eyeball was bigger than me. Now this “Apeling” was 3 inches taller than me.
“Somewhere inside. you know my name. you know that I was living being at one point. You know I am telling the truth.”
I hate it, but he was completely right. I want to argue and say I am not, but Noah was out there somewhere with reek. I made a promise to Kris, and I attend on keep my promises. Noah has the golden heart and reek is trying to use to his advantage. Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. Would not work with the law. So many questions were in my head. how can I see you; you are supposed to be dead. why do you keep popping up. my main one was
“How can I trust you?”
taking his hand off my shoulder and holding it out in front of me. like he is giving me a choice.
“You don’t”
I stared at his hand. I was running out of time. Noah is probably in the building right now. I slowly put my hand above his. I was shaking at the thought of trusting someone else. I only trust one person in my life. How can I trust someone that I meant not even 5 minutes. My heart was saying trust him, but my brain was thinking so many ways to not trust him to. I could ask a question that will help me. which on though. then it hit me.
“Is your name Apeling.”
“Yes.”
My heart winning this round. With No fear I slap my hand in his. He turned in to dust, and the dust wrap around me. my arms, my legs, my waist. When the dust settled on my body. I felt stronger. The bags don’t feel as heavy as before.
“Are you ready?”
Looking to the roofs that I need to hop over. I felt a burst of energy.
“I am ready.”
I just ran. I was moving like a monkey or should I say ape.
if I made a discord for this series would you join?
Going form point 1 to point 2 was just a normal walk. just a turn left, a turn right. nothing worth noting. Honestly, I usually keep track where I am, but the lady with yellow eyes mess with my head big time. I mean I know their “magic” but that usually baloney or leave a mark. While I was playing the guessing game. I was just holding the strap on kris bag. He was leading the way. he used his strength to stop me from walking into a person. Coming back, I saw Noah going in and kris tugging me sit on a stone wall.
“You okay sliver?”
“I been better, honestly.” I can't lie to him no matter how hard I want to.
“Does it have anything to do with that magazine?”
Looking down I am not realized that I am still on the page that the lady left me on.
“Kind of …”
Before anything can be said. My plastic bracelet that sits on my left wrist. Started buzz and change color, from snowflake white to a dull sky blue. I guess my “blood sugar” need “insulin”.
Pulling out my bag I grab my pencil case. it had all three of use Noah being the cool one with an attitude. My with peace sign on my fingers. Kris decides to photo bomb with heart hands. It’s one of my favorite moments. Under the photo there a diamond, With mini diamonds inside. 4 diamonds in total.
You see no matter where there are three beings There is good (blue one on the right) the bad (purple on the left) and the neutrals (green the top). Then their possibility (the grey on at the bottom) there will always be good and bad but there was a third a neutral. That was both good and bad. They were made so that neither side would be by there self. Then there is possibility. the one where humans or any being fir that matter are place. You have a chance to be good, bad, or neutral.
I pulled out my necklace held the yin and yang charm. I twisted so that yang was on top, and yin was on bottom for once. A bust green came off from the necklace. Went to anything that was electronic and frozen them, nothing can record. A sphere was around me. it gave a green tint to show that it was there.
I then press. Blue, purple, green, and gray. The case unlocks. I open it very carefully. There are 10 slots of vials, I pulled out a vial that was the same color as my bracelet. Number 10. It was a liquid that was filled to the top. With the needle that was under the vials. I careful took the foam full of vials out. Looks like I am going to need to run and get more needles soon. Taking one out and literally stab under my bracelet. The place where any nurse goes to draw blood. When they need to draw your blood for any reason at all.
My bracelet turns back to its normal color snowflake white.
“How does your bracelet do that?”
Dam it. I forgot he was there. I didn’t want to drag him in this. Quick find an excuse.
“Magic.”
Magic may be fake but it’s the simplest way for him to understand. In all honestly, I don’t know. It always done turn to different colors on its own. I quickly and carefully clean up. I put the now used needle back in its clear little package.
“Can it turn into other colors?”
“Yes.”
“What other colors?”
“Sometimes I turn a light purple. Once it turned gold.”
“What do they say?”
“Like I said it turn gold only once, I don’t fully know the truth. at the time it meant it was okay going to be okay.”
The time it turned gold was when I was escaping/stepping out of your comfort zone. It was scary leaving the place you only knew. When I was in that car, taking my first steps into a better life. Left hand on the wheel and my right hand on my dog (spike) petting his ear. I look over my wrist it turns into a shiny gold. Not enough to blinded me but enough to just stand out. the only feeling I can explain was I was safe, and I just knew everything was going to be alright after that, no matter how scary it was going to be.
“What about purple.”
How to I explain purple? It was always complected to explain, let alone explained to an eleven-year-old.
“Purple is when I become sick. I need an antibiotic?”
“What the antibiotic do you need.”
Pointing at open my case. (That has all the vials in place.) I pointed to the number 3. Number 3 was the only one I had left; I need to do a run for it soon or I will surely be dead.”
“Number 3 has all the antibiotics; I need to get better and fast.”
closing the case, I put it in the green bag. Know that my “medicine” is safe
“How fast?”
“Almost an instant.”
“But I thought medicine doesn’t heal as fast.”
“You are right but- “
“Sliver, tails let go.”
Noah, you have prefect timing. I just finished the twisting the yin and yang. Yin was once again on top of yang. The sphere was gone. he not only saves me from a very uncomfortable conversation but saving his brother join a cause, that I don’t want him or anyone else to be part of. I want no one be part of my work. I still trying to fix myself form the last few runs.
In my whole happy moment. I didn’t realize that Noah was upset. He must have not gotten the job, but my gut was saying there was more to it. When we got on the train. I gave Kirst my bulky headphones so he can play his game boy isn’t of the world around him. I just stared at Noah with the “explain now” look.
“There noth- “
“I know you didn’t get that interview, but its more to it is there?”
Knowing he can't lie to me. he started spilling the truth.
“Okay so I didn’t get the job like you said. then the guy that I was going to the interview that Mr. Tucker didn’t want to hire me for some reasons but what really bug me was the whole, “one of your people.” On top of that I ran into Mrs. Greene, and she said this is the last appointment until money starts rolling in,
“Hey, you will get a job it’s only a matter of time Mr. tucker is missing out and he is wrong, you’re not people you are Noah Diaz. A brother and a son that is no has don’t everything in his power to protect his family. you are a hero one way or another.
“You differently know how to make a guy feel better.”
“I just, know when to say that truth. you know what I always say?”
Shaking his head no.
“When its midnight there are stars.”
“I hate that saying.”
“But it is turn there are stars when’s it dark out.
He did a silent chuckle, that was my Signal that my job was done. He was somewhat better.
He went to watch the window of the subway to show that he was done with the conversation. That was my que to open my journal. I careful rip the magazine of the two articles and took picture of the lady on the toothpaste ad. And put the page before, so I can take whatever time I have left to write.
Noah is one the only people that is a hero. Whether he realizes it or not. Tails is lucky to have a brother like him. the one that dose anything for his family, doing the wrong things for the right reason. He a big brother trying to carry the world on his shoulders. Maybe I should call K and see if there something I can do to help.
The train jolted to a stop. A nice new scratched mark in my journal. I can't get rid of a pen mark even if I wanted too. That Tossing the journal and magazine in my big bag. Noah taps on kris, and they started to leave the cramp space. When everyone was off. kris wouldn’t let go of my hand. I felt like I was normal, and I have not felt like that in a VERY long time. Maybe I can be part of their family.
“Hey, you two go up. I need to talk business.”
Letting go of kris and going to Reek.
“What that all about?”
“Reek said something about a job before we left.”
Oh no. Noah don’t do the wrong things for the right reasons.
“I going to cancel those plans tonight tails.”
“Why?”
“I have a feeling your brother going to me tonight.”
“Hey sliver,”
“Yea little man”
“Please watch out for my big brother.”
“You know I will.”
“If he gets beat up, I will beat you up.”
“I know. I will let you beat me up.”
“I have something to ask you. But let’s go inside first.”
After going up the flights of stairs. We made to his door where he had a key. he pulled me in his room and the door was left open.
“What this thing you want to ask?”
“In a few days I am going out of town.”
Opening my purse, I pulled out 2 flower necklaces. Open was a blue daisy and the other one was blue speedwell flower, but both have a white almond gem in the middle.
“I am going to send a letter to an old friend. He going to be around for a bit but he going to be looking for me. I am going to send him to Reek, but I don’t trust him for the life of me. this is a very dear friend to me. I am going to tell him a phrase you are going have to say back. Do you understand?”
With a nod he
“He going to ask “when it dark there is? All you must do is there say “stars. there could be other lights, but stars will always there. “After you say that you are going to give him this daisy necklace and you two will go from there.
“What about the other necklace?”
“This is my promise to you. You used this necklace when you feel your life is threatened. It could be as simples as an earthquake, and you are stuck. Or someone is planning to hurt you. You break it in half I will come as fast as I can.”
“How will you know.”
“I will just know.”
“Hey kids, where are you at.” Said sonic.
“We are in the kris bedroom trying to beat Bowser.” I spoke.
Tails was quick to pull out his Gameboy. this boy totally has my back.
“Well with this information I am going to start dinner Or at least start it before mom comes homes. She will be here in an hour. Sliver will you be staying?”
I was going to say no but tails grab my hands. With his pleading eyes. They were begging me to stay.
Looking back at sonic, “I guess I could stay for a meal.”
“Okay I will leave you guys to your mission.”
I waited for 7 mario deaths before I could do something.
“Hey, I am going to pop out your window to make a call okay let me know when sonic and your mom need me, or when dinner done.”
“Got it.”
Pour kid gets so close but then dies on boswer. I was taking this opportunity to do something. leaning against the cold metal bars against forehead as I leaned against them, waiting for a different sound then ringing in my ear.
“When its midnight there are?”
“Stars, there could be other lights, but stars will always be there.”
“Took you long enough for your check in.”
“Sorry!!”
“Late is better than never. Anyway, how are you doing.”
“I mean I am okay. I need some refills can you send me a location I can get them?”
“Yea. I will E do that. he was saying the was a big dopiest near New York. How are you feeling mentally.”
“I’m not the greatest. But I am okay.”
“Do I need to go to you and drag you back.”
“NO!!! I am doing okay. don’t you dear come find me.”
“Okay, you know I will come and get you, if you go 24 hours of no contact when you are supposed to contact.”
“I know you will. I was enjoying being normal for once.”
I heard him sigh.
“I am not going to disappear without a word again. I promise you that.”
“I know you won’t, I just can't help but worry. I know being normal is something you want. But people like us can't.”
“I know we can never be normal but doesn’t mean I can't enjoy it while we can. You can walk away any minute I can't.”
“I know. I just worry about you. They can find you. Then drag you back.”
“I left no traces. I been doing this long enough.”
“I know. I love you okay.”
“Love you too.”
“Okay do you need anything else?”
“Actually, are you next to computer of any sort?”
I hear him wheel across. The room from one table to another.”
“Now I am.”
“Go dark and go to the SC or AC list of names? Type in tucker in last name slot.
“Got we go 100.
“See if any of them live or work in New York?”
“That shrink the list down to 7. “
“Any of them working in bridge security guard.”
“That brings it down to one. Sean tucker. A farther of 3. Wife is a teacher. she struggles with PTSD, and other relate illness.
“Tell me a story.”
“An apartment Building was on fire at Stone and Garfield St. the wife who name is Sally Tucker
was on the 3-floor stairwell, when the explosion happens after the electric fire reach an area of chemicals. That set the who building a blaze. The chemicals made it spread faster.”
“How long ago was the fire.”
“About almost 8 months on the 27th. it looks like her Lily was one of the survivors. Went straight to the hospital after a bystander saw her window get smash by her boyfriend. Trying to get help to her. once in hospital she has serve burns. Lost more than 25% of muscle tissues. After multiple surgeries she was release about 6 months ago. she gotten into physical therapy about 2 months ago. has been there ever sense.
“How were the tuckers involve in the program.”
“T and V had brought it to our attention when one of Mrs. tuckers students came home saying how his teacher was “acting strange”.
“I am guessing the “acting strange” was her PTSD.”
“You called. V. went to talk to her. she found out story. made a deal with her. she goes to therapy we give better care to her friend.”
“because of the deal. Every one of her family members had to be in the system.”
“That sounds about right.”
“Dose he used any of our services.”
“T has babysitting, and bills marked.”
“Babysitting Is needed when both parents are working full time and the mom needs help. There is no way they could do all that on their own.”
“Besides that, everything clean.”
“That doesn’t help what I want.”
“Want to explain?”
“Well, the people I am with. One of them had an interview with Mr. Tucker. When they came back.
He said, “he doesn’t want your people on his team.”
“Well one of their rules is equality to the end.
“When was there last check?”
“Well about a month ago. t went to see if they were going to appointments. the other check ins are form the babysitter or physical therapy workers.”
“Okay. send T. and V. or someone with their level of clearance. To report and see if maybe something will come up. If I want to mess with them I want to make sure its fair.
“Done. I know you are a necklace short who am I adding.”
“how do you know?”
“well you are making me do all this extra work for this “family you been hanging out with, right? they must have a lot of your respect.
“You not adding him yet, at least not until I leave, or something happens.”
“Okay, but you still gave out a necklace?”
“I going to protect them while I am here. When I give you a mission, I will tell them how you can get to them. I gave their youngest two necklace.”
“One for him and one for us.”
“You know it.”
“Also, I need you to look into someone for me. tell me the name. Susie Cook.”
“Got it. why…”
“I just want to make sure she there. I don’t want to fully explain it right now.”
“Okay. so, you know you better explain when I see you.”
Banging on glass had caught my attention. Tails tap his back of his wrist as time was up. I nodded at him as an understanding. He left his room. Dinner must of be done.
“Look bro I need to go. anything I should know before I disappear again.”
“That we love you and want what’s best for you.”
“I love you guys too. I have a feeling I will be back sooner then we know it.”
“I learned to trust that gut. you diffidently got the Gibbs gut.”
“What?”
“Wait, that not out yet.”
“I Explain and you explain when I come back.”
“DEAL!! when its midnight.”
“There are stars.”
I close the phone. Ending the call. Climbing in the window. It going to be a good night. Little did I was going to say the opposite later that night.
I have chapter 4 half way done. I am just trying to clean it up and put some background in sliver. if everything go right I might get chapter 4 done quickly.anyone want to be my proofreader or editor. one more thing
“All mysteries get solve with time.”
I turn my head to the left to see that there was a lady in her late 30s, reading magazine .
Simple black hair. That cover her eyes. I
“What do you mean.”
“Time comes with more clues to tell a story.”
“What if the story is so unbelievable.”
Pulling her sunglasses down with her magazine, Leaving it open on the page. Her eyes were yellowish brown. Her eyes shine like a star at midnight.
“Sometimes a story has a meaning, no matter to situation.”
“What if it feels like a memory?”
“that’s the thing with our brains. They closed off painful corridors. So, memories aren’t so clear. They can change a memory or event, so it is less painful. Making it harder to understand.”
“It takes time to heal. It takes time for more clues. It takes time to solve.” I said finally getting the bigger picture.
“There you go.”
“Would the whole brain be protecting me or whatever it’s called. would it change people or the beings in the memory.”
“It- “
“Hey sliver.”
Our conversation was cut off with a voice. Losing focus of the nice lady. I saw tails coming without sonic.
“Hey. All done?”
“Yes. Noah would be back in a minute. He had to go bathroom. We better pack up so we can split.”
Putting my journal in my bag, with my pen. having the page marked so I can continue to get at least some understanding of it. I wanted to at least thank the lady. Looking back at where she was. No one was there. her magazine was flip open to the page she was reading
I walk over there. there was no cushion indent. When I put my hand on where she was. Ice cold. The ice cold I thought I would have felt on that ape last night. I look at the book she was reading. The only indicator that she was here. A random fmagazine that I read hundred and one times.
What may my spine chill was the page, she was on had an ad about Colgate toothpaste. Lady had her hand wrap like she was going to a boxing match. The wrap in her mouth trying to show how strong her teeth are. I mean they shine and there getting the tooth paste across. The model was her. Down to the very last detail.
What made my blood turn cold that across the page was acritical. “Women died in multiple car pileup.” farther down the article. it shows that same women by the way her name was Susie. playing with her dog with her dog and a caption that says.
At the ripe age of 38. Susie Cook was playing with her dog mere hours before her death. This was the last photo taken when she and her family playing in the back yard. I am petrified. Am I the new ghost whisper? was I talking to a dead person? No if she was a ghost. She wouldn’t be holding or moving this book, and she drop the magazines. The wind has not been strong enough to move an entire book.
Her eyes held yellow in them not like this magazine. This has another mystery weren’t over it.
“Sliver, are you okay?”
Looking at tails that eyed me up and down with worry. My big green bag was in his little arms. Quickly grabbing the bag, so he won’t hurt him self anymore.
“I thought I saw something.”
“Did you see a ghost?”
I can't lie to a kid but I cannot fully tell him the turth. “I don’t think that possible.”
“Hey kris, sliver we got to go?”
Thank you, Noah.
Kris chasing his bigger brother. I look back and grab the magazine this was defiantly going into the journal. This is too crazy to not too.
so chapter 2 is out. please let me know what you think in comments. the drawing took the longest. also because the movie is new at the time of typing this. I was stuggling with doing all of this by mermory --love you all
“SLIVER! Wake up dog.”
I launch forward. Breathing heavily. Feeling my surroundings soft floor. Car windows in front of me. I am on earth I am in reeks car, in the Back seat.
“You look like you were going to mess someone up.”
Now I am differently on earth.
“Hey reek.”
I slowly climbed out of the backseat of his car. There was no way I was going back to sleep any time soon.
“Are you fighting that monster again.”
“Yea something like that.”
Monster was the excuse I used to when I toss and turn. No one ask anything more. I pulled out my two bags. They were basically my lifelines. A mini purse backpack I put around my waist. While the black and green on was on my back. I got to do a lot today.
“Thanks for letting me crash in the back seat.”
I was shaking my head getting the bed rest hair gone.
“No problem. You help me more than I can ask for it’s the least I can do.”
“Either way thanks and call me if you need me.”
“Hey before you run off will you be okay. I have seen you toss and turn in your sleep and beating up those “monsters” before, But not like this.”
“I mean it one of those dreams where it seems like a memory but it’s not.”
“what’s the memory?”
“I don’t know, it wasn’t being clear.”
My watch began beeping.
“I’m going to be late. I got to go.”
“Hey, be careful and No more disappearing without a word.”
“I’ll try, can’t promise.”
Someone holding a bag of apples when one apple began falling to the ground. I put my knee out and let it bounce back. In the bag. Putting the ear buds in my ear so I can dim the world around me. I pulled random granola bar out my purse. I need something in my stomach, Or I will be the monster in real life. This will have to do. Substation was my fast possible route to get to where I am needed. The subway gets me a moment to write in my journal. I always wrote in something, ever since I little I would wright anything that was worth remembering. That not the first time I dream about something like that. but this is the first time interacting with the environment.
These dreams play out like a movie. I was always on the side just watching everything unfold. like people do in a theater. most of the dreams that I do remember are fragments. I had one were two lover’s kisses. I had one where a farther is knocking down his daughter. There are too many that I remember. my mine can't remember the last time a thing like this happens. This is diffidently first time some being has died.
Why did he say midnight. Who midnight I am sliver and no one else. After sitting in a spot that was safe as you could be. I open my big bag and pull out a notebook the said ‘I need space’ and it had a galaxy in space background. It a sketch book but I write and draw in it. a ton of people have called it many names. Reek called it a journal before. I had many people call it my dairy. Buster jokingly said before it my evil planner. Yea right buster. I can't hurt a fly even If I wanted to. In a way It’s a journal of me. my life, people I meet, my dreams. I hope this journal shows that I was not perfect. I am human just like everyone else.
After going to a blank page. I was sketching the whole dream; the face of the ape was first thing that came to mind. The sequence was mushy, but I did my best on all the important parts.
Above the guy that won the battle. I wrote scrouge in big sharp letter. Underneath him. I wrote bad guy with a question mark. Because to everyone can be a bad guy to a family like scourge could be bad to just this ape and his family. Then have no fire with me. I have a feeling that not the case. it a possibility can't full rule out the. ‘Proven until guilty’ what the cops say. Above the ape I wrote Apeling. Leader of the maximal.
Why did I write that and why did that feel right. Who are the maximal? Confusion filled my brain with how I know any of this. Let alone where did these works come from?
“You will know soon.” A whisper came from my left. there was no one there when I turn my head. the seat was completely empty and there was no one behind me that could be close enough to say it.
“Next stop Broadway Ave. “
Closing the book and grabbing my bags. I slip past people.my body has a flow. I slip pass people without touching them knowing I was there. anyone would use it to their advantage when its places like this. At these times it almost completely true and I used it. I have gotten to the top of the stairway without any issue.
“I don’t want to, but I need too.” I spotted the clinic with its massive red plus sign. Speedy across the sidewalk to reach it without any difficulties walk over. I pull out a 10 I had in my pocket and put it in buster cup.
“Hey sliver.”
“Hey buster. Keep both of stomachs full.”
“You know I feed him before I feed myself.”
Buster was a homeless guy with a lot mental and physical problems. He is ex-military soldier, who lost his arm in battle. With the battle on top of that he has severe PTSD. Then there Altan a small brown and white boxer, that found his way in buster arms. Altan means second chance. Buster even admitted feeling like he gotten a second chance, ever since he meant the boxer.
“That is loyalty, at its finest”
I open the door. where there was no line, making me not delay any longer.
“Here for sliver.”
The lady behind desk. Look at her Monitor.
“Ahh yes for your shots right.”
“Yea” I said grimly.
“It will be over before you know it.” She said with an empathetic smile and pointed to the waiting room.
No one hates them like me. me and needles have a VERY bad history. Before I can go down memory lane. I spot an eleven-year-old by his self. Seem like Noah was trying to speed up the waiting process again.
“Hey tails”
“Hey sliver, you getting your shots done?”
“Yea, you know me and needles. Did you finish that level with bowser?”
No, I gotten him down like 5 percent. One attack away from wining. Then I died.”
“Oh man. You were almost there. You were one hit away?”
“Yea.”
“how about this, I help you beat him tonight?”
“It sounds like fun.”
“Okay I have nothing planned after this, so I can follow you home.”
“My brother has an interview.”
“I can still follow and keep you company. An interview takes about an hour.”
“SLIVER.” Said a nurse in blue.
“Looks like my que. Hey, can you watch greenie I have a feeling you would be here a bit.” Only grabbing my purse and my journal that still in my hand.
“Sure.”
“Be back tails.”
Nothing special happen. They ask the classic questions. Took my measurements, and weight. Am I don’t any drugs. Am I smoke so on so forth.
When I was left in the room, I wrote in my journal my weight and height. I still average size, but I grew an inch. Now, I am 5’5. I went to the page with the monkey and robot. I know I need to add more. Like that ball or sphere in my dream and they shape of that key. Just trying to do whatever to distract myself. Form mine understand this “scourge” is linked to this “Unicron” in some way. I am guessing, that this Unicron eats planets to fill their hunger. These Maximals are keeping this key away. I drew just a diamond because the closest I can draw it because it went with that second ape. I barely saw him for a minute.
Okay main thing to take away from this dream so far. key from Unicron. This Scrouge and Terrorcons do whatever Unicron says. These Maximals are this guardian of this key. That would make him more powerful. They swore to play keep away.
This is all to my understanding. Many questions are going through my head. what is this key. where did the rest of the Maximals go. what more is out there? who is this ‘midnight’? the biggest question that I have was, why me? I just a nobody that just run and knows a lot of random facts.
I just kept sketching I just let my hand wonder.
A doctor in white coat came in. my right sleeve was already rose up for her. So, I can get this over. my legs were crossed, so this book was in some what a stable condition.
“that’s a nice wolf you are drawing there.”
A black wolf was under the word midnight. Was that midnight? My gut was saying yes but didn’t want to trust it on something as a drawing. I can't seem to find a reason to disagree.
“Thank you.” I said trying to be polite. Now realizing she was cleaning up.
This wolf was nothing like me. I am a human from my planet earth. I am walking on two feet not four. I have hair, not fur. There so much that different between the two of us. could the ape confuse my kindness for her, or Mr. Apelinq could have been having a life flash before his eye’s moment.
I HATE not knowing. I also know that I am not getting an answer. While I was going down this worm hole of possibilities or theories. The appointment was over before I know it. Prefect timing to as I was walking out sonic, and tails were about to start there’s.
“I got it tails, go.”
I traded places with him. I pull out the last cholate chip cookie I had in the green bag. Staring monkey with graphite eyes. Like he could talk back.
“How can I solve this mystery?
should I keep going
Definitely yes
nah bro stop here before you get ahead of yourself.
this is my first time ever to wright this on tumblr. let me know if you are want to see more. I have a whole back story to this. This is not proof read, so please let me know if there a mistake I want to see if it worth working on.
“You get everyone to the ship and escape with the key.”
One ape hand it to another.
“what happening.”
“What about you. “
“I will distract scrope and his terracons as long as I can. It will give you and the others a chance to esape.”
I wont let you be left behind. Scrouge will kill you. My sacrifice will be nothing compared to what unicron can do with the key...
“ we need a …..”
Slinceing the other ape.
“ you are there leader now.”
“ now go”
With the idea of knowing there was no debate let alone time. ran. Leaveing the only place they called home. that will be devour by unicorn the planet eating monster.
“ahh.” Hand covering my face. Trying to protect my self even thought it would do nothing. I felt a chil was what It felt like. The one that get you spinal core to shake.
Looking back at the runaway ape did not see me. I have to be dreaming.
Then there this metal man robot. Is this a terrcon. What going why dose this look real. Is he losing what going on.
“ please, stop fighting.”
Everything was muggy. I don’t understand what going on but one thing was clear. No one is leaveing this fight alive. Everything happen so fast. They were both standing up and now one is loseing a battle that he cant win.
Sound of a rocket was happing like it was blasting off.
“ your not getting the key.”
“Today I won’t but my master with have a feast with your planet.”
I was running to the ape theat was laying on the ground. I couldn’t let him feel pain while he was dieing. I know none of these metal or anmials being cant see me. but dosent me I would sit back and do nothing. The one that won. Was melting something on him. He just became a blur.
I slip pass his legs. If that was what they called them. I was at the apes face.
“ what do I do? What can I do?”
“ put your hand on him and breathe.”
Spinning around. Trying to find something to show any type of alive or being.
“wh-“
“If you want him to not be in pain anymore, just put your hand on him.”
I heard a groan. I will slove that voice mystery later. Put my hand on him I felt him skin want cold but smooth and warm. Surprisingly but what shock me more was the area my hand was. It was glowing and a green color.
“huh?”
Out of my instinct I want to pull away but the ape groan out of relief. Like he was in less pain.
I knew that I was doing something. what would happen if I used both of my hands. I lift my hand. And place not tnext to mine but in the same level as mine. I felt eyes on me I was next to his eye or what ever its called. Two eyes staring at one.
“ midnight star.”
Instead of correcting him. Knowing his time is running out.
“ its going to be okay. relax its going to be okay.”
I sounded confident but I was far from that.
“you were always a star. in the darkest of times.”
For that slipt moment it steam like he accepted his death but wasn’t alone. I have no clue who he is but i am just glad he not alone or in a lot a pain. I saw the light shirnking as it seem like these minutes. Are turning to hours. I don’t care how long I knew the least I could do was make bearable. He closed his eyes for the final time and whisper his last sound in this life.
“ thank you.”
I pulled my hands back after his skin turned cold. I was crying. I knew I was crying because there was not much I could do. I mean almost everyone cries when they see someone died, But this was different type of crying. Like I lost a friend but I never seen him before.
“sliver”
I fell to my knees in front of his eyes. It started to get windy. I wouldn’t have notice if a golf ball sized rock hit me in the side of my head. turning to see what all the rush was about. This golden sphere was coming closer. And the center was opening up and there was rocks. My brain wasn’t comprehending what was happening.
here we are, the first of several writings for the 400-500 follower celebration! a new chapter of mwn is also coming out within the next day or so, followed with one more short and a request someone made ages ago!
Bowser heaved a deep, heartbroken sigh as he gazed down at the quiet piranha plant clutched between his claws; he was yet again sitting alone on a bench after a failed marriage attempt, which usually wasn't a big deal, but this one had stung much more than anything else in the past. He was in one of the most romantic places there was - behind a beautiful chapel on the fucking moon with the Earth twinkling in the sky above - dressed to the nines in a fancy white and purple tuxedo and his mane meticulously styled, as requested, and yet he still sat alone, which he'd been promised wouldn't happen. Or at least, he wasn't supposed to be sitting alone with only a broken promise for company.
Peach had lied to him.
Again.
He suddenly chucked the piranha plant away from him with a deep growl, his frustration with himself mounting as he watched the poor plant land on top of his discarded jacket. One day he needed to learn to just quit her entirely, and honestly this seemed like a fantastic last straw. The final offense to crack his shell.
She'd come to him so sweetly, as always. "Oh, Bowser, can you help me get Mario to chase me again? But this time let's make it a wedding!"
He'd thought she was mocking him at first until she went out of her way to get him a custom suit and everything. More than that, though, she swore up and down she'd give him something he'd always wanted - provided he knew it didn't mean she was suddenly changing her mind about him.
Bowser groaned and leaned forward on the bench, putting his face in his hands, elbows resting on his knees. He was so fucking dumb! And now there was a chapel full of people thinking the worst of him, again, when really the whole scheme was Peach's idea.
He'd sold himself out for the promise of a kiss he was never going to get.
The only small solace he had was that she actually turned Mario down too when the idiot plumber had gotten a little too aggressive trying to give her flowers… but honestly, that didn’t help heal the rage beginning to bubble in his heart.
“Excuse me…”
Bowser’s head jerked up, his lip curled back over a fang to warn off whoever dared interrupt him - only to see you standing there, giving him a sympathetic, dare he think it, pitying smile. He recognized you from the few times you’d gotten caught up in some of the shenanigans between him and those plumbers.
He switched his snarl to a scowl rather quickly and looked away. “What.”
In his peripherals, he saw you point at the piranha flower bouquet; he braced himself for a teasing remark about the only things willing to sit near him being aggressive plants. He didn’t have a reason to suspect that from you, at all, but that didn’t stop him from assuming. It was suspicious enough you left the “reception” to walk around and find him.
“Do you mind if I sit with you?” you asked softly.
He whipped his head around in surprise as he fixed his wary gaze on you. His brain thoroughly scrambled, he first nodded, then shook his head, and finally winced at himself.
“You - you can sit,” he finally managed, scooting over just a bit to make room for you.
You gave him a suspiciously warm smile and reached to pick up the bouquet so you could sit. You were so gentle that the quiet plants didn’t start snapping, even as you settled them back on your lap - and that was oddly intriguing to him. He shifted to face you a little more, his thick arm draping over the back of a bench as he forced a scowl.
“What do you want, woman?” he growled when you didn’t immediately speak.
You were quiet for a moment, focused on the ribbon on the bouquet, then looked up at him. “I’m sorry she did this to you.”
He inhaled sharply, his eyes going wide in surprise. His mouth fell open like he wanted to say something, but nothing came out even after a few tries. Just how much did you know?
You looked back down at the bouquet as you smiled again; there was something sad about it this time that made his stomach feel like it flipped over. His stunned silence clearly betrayed just how shocked he was that you know.
“I heard her talking about it when I visited the palace,” you explained softly. “She was actually sort of laughing about it. And then knowing she’s happy to let you take the fall, despite all this being her plan…” You shook your head, looking up at him again. “I just thought I’d come check on you.”
“Me–?!”
“Yes, you.” You didn’t give him time to say anything else before you cut him off with a resolute nod. “You’re the fall guy, always, but from the few times I’ve interacted with you, you don’t seem like such a terrible guy to me.”
He growled quietly, immediately on the defensive that anyone could possibly see him as decent… despite desperately wanting exactly that. But who even were you, exactly? Yes, he could read the little nametag pinned to your dress, and as he mulled it over in his mind, he could remember Greenie and Red Idiot calling you that several times. But who were you to them? And how in the hell did you end up involved in their shit sometimes?
“What are you to them?” he demanded. Instead of flinching at either the growl or his demand, you just smiled a little bit, catching him off guard, and he blinked.
“The brothers, I assume you mean. I’m supposed to be their secretary for their plumbing business, but it seems like I get dragged into unwanted adventures by sheer association with them… and their shop has been closed since the last time a certain someone decided to try and raid it.” You raised both of your eyebrows at him in an unimpressed manner, clearly indicating his recent attempt to kidnap one of the brothers directly.
Bowser rubbed the back of his neck and looked away, pouting a bit. He… sort of liked how you were so boldly challenging him, if he was honest. You weren’t being abrasive about it, but you were letting him know that you honestly weren’t afraid of him.
“Look,” he muttered, “they just get on my fuckin’ nerves, okay? Didn’t mean to put you outta a job…”
“Well, I’m still getting paid, so it’s not such a big deal. Anyway, I also wanted to let you know that you look dashing in your tux… I’m not sure if anyone bothered to mention that, something else I think is a little unfair.” You sighed softly, like you really believed what you were telling him.
Maybe he could take advantage of the situation? Why not? He hadn’t self-sabotaged in fifteen minutes at least.
He pressed his lips together as he glanced back at you thoughtfully. You tilted your head to the side curiously, like an adorable, confused chain chomp pup.
Here went everything.
“Since you seem to be so concerned about me, li’l lady,” he started slowly, rubbing his chin in thought, “how ‘bout I take you out on a date, and I’ll tell you anything you’re curious about. How’s that sound?” He smirked a bit.
His smirk slowly faded as you seemed to actually consider his offer. After a moment or two, you smiled, stood, and gently set the bouquet back down in its spot. He watched as you stood in front of him; your hands came up to cup his cleft chin and his heart jumped at your gentle touch, his eyes widening at the bold move.
This wasn’t even remotely what he expected.
You smiled oh so sweetly at him, warm and inviting and completely unafraid. “Counter offer,” you murmured. He nodded dumbly. “I’m gonna go back inside, but if you follow me in I’ll call this a first date, and I’ll consider letting you take me on a second one.”
He didn’t reply. He couldn’t, too utterly shocked by this. You giggled softly when he didn’t respond.
“No pressure,” you said softly. “Not like you don’t know where to find me.” And then you made things a million times worse by kissing the side of his muzzle before promptly turning and strutting back toward the front of the chapel. His jaw dropped as he watched you go; behind him, his tail was wagging something fierce, knocking moon dust around.
That just happened. That really just happened, without him making a deal for it or anything. You willingly kissed him of your own volition. But now you were walking away…
Wait. No. You weren’t Peach - you had left the invitation open. He was letting you walk away.
…Was he fucking stupid?!
By the time he fully registered everything, you had disappeared around the front of the building. In an instant, he was on his feet and sprinting toward the front of the chapel in pursuit, skidding around the corner and bounding up the steps a few at a time. He ignored the stares he got from the few beings in the foyer, but it was hard to ignore the startled yelps from people when he rather violently slammed the door open with more strength than he meant to.
When he glanced around, all eyes were on him. “Uh… sorry,” he muttered. Maybe this had been a bad id–
“Bowser!”
His head whipped around shamefully fast at the sound of your bright voice and he locked his eyes on your smiling face at the far end of the chapel. For the first time in his life, he suddenly felt rather self conscious, but he slowly made his way toward you when you beckoned him over. His shoulders hunched, he held his arms close to his body, and his tail curled around his legs as he picked his way between the tables and guests; as he moved, though, a bashful smile settled on his maw, the tip of his tail flicking despite being wrapped around his leg.
You held your hand out to him when he got closer, smiling warmly at him. He was acutely aware of just how small your hand was compared to his as he took hold of it, but you didn’t look bothered in the least. In fact, there was genuine excitement in your eyes as you looked up at him. It made him duck his head in embarrassment.
“People are starin’,” he mumbled as he got himself sat beside you. His smile hadn’t faded, though.
“If I cared what people thought about me, you might never have met me,” you chuckled softly. “They can stare all they want; I’m delighted you decided to come join me.” You used your free hand to push a loaded plate of food at him, but he ignored it for now.
He gazed down at you; his tail slowly uncurled from his legs and began to sway a little behind him. “You really mean that, don’tcha,” he stated softly.
You nodded and your smile became softer, but more serious. “I do. Sometimes I’m a little too honest, but at least that means you’ll know I’m not lying to you. But I won’t just say mean things to be mean, either… just to clear that up.”
For the first time all day, Bowser chuckled. “I appreciate the honesty,” he rumbled. “This also means if you feel like things ain’t gonna work out that you’ll say somethin’, right?”
“Of course. Unlike some people-” you coughed softly and shot a glance toward a portrait of Princess Peach hanging near the altar “-I don’t enjoy playing with people’s feelings. Everyone deserves a chance, and I believe that firmly, but if it looks like we aren’t compatible long term I’ll say something.” You blushed a little as you finally took your hand back to start eating.
He laughed softly at the contemptuous look you’d sent Peach’s portrait. You really were something else, and though he wouldn’t mention it to you, he felt like already there was a sort of connection that he never had with Peach. He could easily see you turning out to be the one for him - but he wouldn’t hold his breath, just in case.
“I guess that means I’ll just have to enjoy every single moment with ya, just in case,” he purred smoothly, watching as your face reddened. Good, that meant he was back in his groove, and you were squarely in his sights.
To your credit, though, you kept your composure, sending him a sweet smile. “Well, aren’t you a smooth operator,” you chimed. “I kinda like that… confidence looks good on you.”
A shiver threatened to crawl up his spine, but luckily he managed to suppress it by the time it got to the base of his tail; he couldn’t stop the heat that rushed to his cheeks, unfortunately. Not only had you gone out of your way to check on him after this fucking catastrophe, but you also appreciated his lines and said it even suited him… he wasn’t entirely sure what to expect (given he’d only tried for Princess Peach before now) but he was starting to get pretty excited.
He leaned in closer to you with a quiet purr. “Well, how about we blow this joint and I’ll show you just how confident I can be, hm?”
You giggled softly in surprise, your face still flushed a lovely shade even as you tried to hide your fluster behind your hand.
“What, eager to get to date number two?” you teased.
“Or maybe I was hopin’ we could prolong date number one.”
You pursed your lips in thought as you regarded him, but after a few heart-pounding moments, you nodded, that beautiful, bashful smile never leaving you. “Alright, that actually sounds nice; did you have something in mind?”
What did he have in mind? Honestly, he wasn’t sure he’d expected you to agree so readily, despite all the signs you were genuinely interested in him. But he didn’t want to run you off already by being too aggressive or forward, or anything like that even though you just said you liked his confidence. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to do something a little more lowkey this first time…
He pressed his lips together briefly in thought before a wide grin pulled his lips back. Of course! It was so simple!
“Well,” he hummed, “how ‘bout some sky gazin’? I know a nice little place ‘round the back of this chapel, once we’re done here… We could talk and get to know each other a bit more before the second date?”
You reached over with a warm smile, resting your hand on his forearm. “You know, I think that sounds lovely. It’ll be nice getting to know the real you, the ones most others don’t get to see.”
Bowser’s tail felt like it was about to break the confines of the little foldable chair, it was wagging so hard. His heart was already threatening to break the confines of his chest just from your willing touch, but the gentle rub that followed practically made him swoon. If you kissed his snout again he just might faint.
Briefly, his mind tried to convince him that this was all some sick joke - but his gut told him you really were being genuine.
People were staring, not snickering, and there hadn’t been anyone outside to see you be so sweet. Nor would there be anyone to witness the second half of this date.
“Do you wanna head out already?”
The sound of your voice had him blinking back into the present. He had enough presence of mind to reply, “Thought you were hungry?”
You chuckled softly, smiling up at him. “I’ve eaten a little bit. If I’m still hungry later, we can go get something, how’s that sound?” You rubbed his forearm again, though did take the chance to get another bite in.
He nodded too eagerly as he put way too much effort into standing up like a calm, collected adult, forced to hold his tail with one hand to keep it from knocking anything over due to his excitement. His other hand extended to you, palm up in an invitation.
“Shall we, beautiful?” he rumbled, smiling warmly at you.
You placed your hand in his, a quiet, pleased hum escaping you as you allowed him to help you to your feet. Your eyes met his, and in a soft but earnest voice, you replied, “Lead the way, handsome.”
Since you were little you wished you weren't alive.
No one had treated you right.
You were just a girl with parents who didn't care about you.
When you were 12, you escaped to Republic City. You wanted to get away.
Far, far away.
Start a new life where maybe, just maybe...you could be in the spotlight.
You were sick of being a wall flower.
You got a job at a bakery called, Cake My Day.
Cute name, isn't it?
The owner, Ms. Sherry, was so nice.
She taught you how to bake delicious treats. She had a spare room in her house. She said you could stay there. She was lonely and didn't mind having another person around.
How lucky could you get?
Maybe, finally, your life was turning around.
4 years passed by.
You grew older, more beautiful. You were now a manger in Sherry's Sweets. She was still a busy boss, but you were there to help take the load off. (And force her to take time off so she'd stop over exerting herself). She even let you start creating recipes of your own! (The first 12 were a bust though. But you learned plenty from the 12 failures! 13th times the charm!!!)
You and Ms. Sherry were the faces of the shop. With your help in advertising, the shop became more popular than before and you needed to hire 4 other people to help.
With more money coming in, she was able to reconstruct the shop to make it bigger and better. There was a To-Go Line, a large array of desserts behind the glass fridge, a coffee corner, and an outside patio complete with flowers and atmosphere. And that was just the 1st floor! The 2nd floor was mostly just a relaxing spot to study or just enjoy the comfort it offered with its couches, mini stage where someone would always play relaxing music, a little yoga spot, and the restrooms that were always clean and well-maintained.
This place felt like home. It was home.
And Ms. Sherry...Well, she become like a mother to you. A real mother. A kind mother.
You were happy.
You were walking through the neighborhood one night. You had to fetch some decorations for the shop. Ms. Sherry's birthday was in a week and you wanted to make it special. So you went out when she was asleep to get the supplies you ordered.
Suddenly, someone ran into you.
You fell to the ground.
"Aw man! I'm so sorry!"
When you looked up, you saw the most beautiful green eyes you've ever seen. You're heart began to race.
He stopped to help you up. He was huffing and puffing like he just ran a marathon. Which you quickly found out he practically was when men in green jumpsuits, red scarves, and weird looking masks came and attacked the boy him.
You swore something about their attire was hauntingly familiar. But everything was happening so fast you couldn't process it immediately.
He was earthbending to save him self and protect you from the crossfire, but the men were skilled and had these weird weapons.
You went into panic mode.
Should you help?
It could be dangerous.
But then you saw one of the men pull out a scarier looking weapon than the others they had and you reacted on instinct.
You never told a lot of people this.
But when you were young, you had been born with air bending.
Both your parents were non benders so it didn't make sense.
You grew up learning to hate your air bending because it was the reason your parents hated you.
You only learned to control it so you wouldn't lose control and hurt somone by accident again.
So you just did it.
You twirled around and blew all of the men into the building.
The boy's mouth dropped.
"Y-you're an airbender?!"
"Ssshhh!!! Just run!!!" You grabbed his hand and just ran.
"Who are you?" He wheezed out. You can tell he had gotten hurt and this was probably hard on him. But this was the best you can do.
"Who am I? Who are you?! Why are those guys chasing after you?! Please please tell me you're not a criminal and I just got caught in the middle of a gang war!!!"
"Uh, weeell. I wooouldn't say gang war..."
"Then what would you call it?!?!?!" You wheezed out in frustration.
"Uuuhhhmmm...Weeell..." He trailed off.
"Nevermind! We'll take about it later!" You scoffed in frustration.
This was most likely a gang war and he didn't want to tell you...Great.
You cursed to yourself. Still, you keep running with him. You already got yourself involved, might as well keep going.
Plus...there was this feeling you couldn't quite shake. Something deep in your heart wanted you to help him.
Why would you want to help a possible gang member? Who knows?
Using your knowledge of the area you lead him to a place you'd be able to escape.
Turning around, you blasted a large gust of air to knock your oppressors down. While they were getting their bearings, you pushed the stranger into a dead end alleyway.
"It's a dead end!"
"No. It's not!" You pushed a trashcan to reveal an opening in the brick wall. "Come on! Hurry!" Without needing further instruction, he crawled through the space and you followed suit. You continued running, but not before moving the trash can back where it was.
When the gang of men looked into the alleyway there was no one in sight. So they continued further and further from you.
The noise of hurried footsteps, clattering of silverware, and the door shutting caused Ms. Sherry to come in aggressively and ready to whack the intruder with her trusty frying pan. When she saw you laying on the floor with some man, she was ready to pounce.
The only sound that could be heard were the harsh breathes you and the stranger were making. You both lay on the floor of Cake My Day's kitchen.
"(Y/N)! Dear, are you alright?! Did this man hurt you?! Quickly! Call the police! I'll hold him off..." She narrowed her eyes ready to strike.
You quickly waved her off.
"It's okay Ms. Sherry. He is with me."
"Y-yeah. I'd never hurt the pretty lady who just saved my life!" He helped you up shaking your hand similar to the excitement of a tiger seal. "(Y/N) was it!? You are awesome! Thank you so much for saving my rear back there! My name is Bolin!"
You blushed when he said "Pretty lady," but shook your head.
"Y-yeah. Sure. Speaking of that...Who were those people chasing you?! Are you really part of a gang?! Did I get myself into trouble?!" You were shaking his shoulders, terrifed.
"Ack! No no no! I'm not part of a gang...anymore that is..." He trailed off quietly.
"What was that last part?" You inquired.
"N-Nothing! Um, actually the guys that were chasing me where the Equalists. They infiltrated the Pro-Bending Tournament and attacked us! Luckily Korra, (she's the Avatar and my fellow team mate), Mako, (That's my older brother), the police force, and myself fought bravely!" He paused for a moment. "...Aaand we lost, aaand they took away the Wolfbat's bending...and the Stadium was completely destoryed... sooo yeah that didn't turn out great. But I spotted one the equalists escaping so I followed him!" He leaned against the counter trying to be cool. "I mean, not to brag, buuut I'm a pretty great Earth Bender. Anyway, I was going to help the police arrest him so we could get more info on what their planning. Yeah I know, it's a decent plan...Except when his friends came to assist him...I fought as best I could, but they are strong. When I couldn't fight anymore they began to chase me. I thought I was a goner. But then you came and saved me! And you used your awesome Air bending powers to knock them down! Are you related to Tenzin? You must be since their family are the only ones that can use Airbending. He didn't mention having another daughter though? Oh! Also-"
"I'm sorry. Let me stop you right there!" You had to stop him from getting off track. Both you and Ms. Sherry were still processing his explanation. Luckily, you and Ms. Sherry didn't have a problem keeping up with his speech. He was rambling quite fast. Honestly, did he even breath between sentences? Still, your coworker Derrick had a habit of rambling all the time so you both had practice understanding fast speech.
You sighed and pinched the bridge of your nose.
"Let me get this straight. The people that were chasing you were not part of a gang. But some cult who wants to get rid of bending. And it's not just any run of the mill cult...It's the Equalists, correct?"
"Yup!"
"...What have I just gotten myself into..." You then started to freak out. "Oh my gosh!!! The freaking Equlaists!!! This-This is awful! what if they followed us home!?" You started hyperventilating. "What if they attack the bakery! What if-"
"Now now Dear. Let's not jump to what ifs. You know how you get. Let's just breath and calm down." Ms. Sherry knew you were an Airbender and why you hated it, so the thought of you being in trouble scared her. However, she had a feeling that this young man would protect you and teach you to love your bending. She just had a hunch and they were never wrong.
"Yeah! There is no need to worry! We lost them long before we got here! Thanks to your secret passageway, they didn't follow. Plus with your scarf covering your face and hair and your long jacket, they probably didn't see much to distinguish you!"
You had forgotten you were wearing this. It was a bit chilly out, but the main reason you wore these is so Ms. Sherry wouldn't recognize you and to hide the party supplies in your jacket. You were determined to suprise her.
"A-ah Yeah. That's true...Although, I should definitely trash these. That way they won't know who I am." You proceeded to do just that.
"Why are you wearing such clothes anyway darling? It is not that cold outside." Ms. Sherry questioned.
"A-ah!!! I-It's because I'm not feeling so well. Yeah! I went out to get some medicine. I didn't want to disturb your sleep." You hoped she'd buy it.
"Well why didn't you say so! I will get you some medicine to have you feeling better in no time. And Bolin why don't you try some sweets! I don't want you going back out tonight. It's dangerous if the Equalists are out there." Ms. Sherry was in her normal cheery mood. She was glad you both were safe.
"Oh, I don't want to impose! I can go back home and-"
"Thanks. It's my own recipe. I used to be such an awful Baker. But thanks to Ms. Sherry's skills, I'm better than ever!"
"It's not a request. You ARE staying here. If you need to borrow the phone to call someone, it's right there." She pointed to the phone on the wall, staring Bolin dead in the eyes daring him to challenge her.
"Yes Ma'am." He scrambled to the phone to let his brother and Korra know he was fine.
You shook your head smiling. Honestly, one Ms. Sherry has her mind set on something there is no changing her mind.
While Ms. Sherry went to get medicine for your "illness," you went to heat up some leftover brownies you had made earlier that day.
"Wow that smells delicious! What is it!" Bolin peeked over your shoulder. He liked how friendly you and Ms. Sherry were. He'd feel really bad if something were to happen to either of you because of him. So he vowed to protect you.
"Terrible baker and a terrible cook. I helped with that too." She winked at Bolin in a teasing manner after walking into the room.
"Unnecessary comment, Ms. Sherry." You pouted. She giggled. She gave you a small shot of disgusting medicine. You had to choke it down. You didn't want Ms. Sherry to know about your suprise. It'll all be worth it next week.
"By the way, were you able to contact someone to let then know you were okay?"
"Yup! My brother was relived to hear I'm okay. Thank you for taking me in for the night."
"Nonsense, Darling. I would never let such a sweetie like you get hurt or kidnapped or worse!" Everyone in the room knew how dangerous the Equalists were. They didn't want to find out what they would do to him.
The rest of the night passed by with no incidents. Bolin wanted to know more about you and you both stayed up late getting to know each other. The more you spoke, the more you realized how kind, brave, and funny Bolin was. You were glad you saved him.
Maybe he and his friends could bring down Amon...
"So since you're an Airbender, how are you related to Tenzin? I feel like if you were his daughter, we would've already met you. So you must be his niece, right?"
"Well...No. I'm not related to, er, Tenzin at all..." You looked away and fiddled with your hair.
"You're not? But I thought the only Airbenders were descendants of Avatar Aang?" Bolin tilted his head in confusion.
"Apparently not. Both my parents were non-benders...so I don't really know why I got my airbending...Not that it's really done anything for me. I wish I could get rid of it." You pulled your knees to your chest and hugged your legs, forlorn.
"What?! But you're an awesome airbender! Why wouldn't you want to use your bending?!"
You looked up at him and his concerned face. He is now the fourth person to know about your bending. Your parents rejected you because of it.
The only reason Ms. Sherry knew was because you had accidentally used your bending during a panic attack. She had to calm you down, but got hurt in the process. She had a permanent scar on her arm where you slashed her by accident. You had felt awful and cried while apologizing profusely. She cooed to you saying it was alright. When she held you, you ended up telling her everything.
Ms. Sherry hated your parents because of this. She began to raise you as her own after she found out you were living in a dumpster. She was the mom you never had.
Now here you were with a boy you just met. He knew about your bending. And he thought it was awesome. That's the first time anyone has told you that.
You couldn't stop the tears. You didn't want to cry and furiously began to wipe them. You tried to stop, but the more you held it in, the more you cried. This happens everytime you think about your bending or using it.
"H-hey! What's wrong?!" Bolin scrambled to you and rubbed your back. "Why...Why are you crying. Did I do something?"
"I don't understand...Why are you not running away? Why are you being so nice to me? I'm an airbender...Doesn't that freak you out?"
"Freak me out? Of course not! I happen to know 4 other Airbenders who are my friends. Why would that be freaky? I think its cool."
You stared at him with teary eyes and just began to bawl. You told him everything. You didn't know why, but something inside you just wanted to get it out.
You told him about your parents. You told them how they abused you and cursed you for your bending. They called you names and told you no one would ever be friends with you. You grew up to hate your bending. You had to teach yourself to control it, but even now you didn't have total control. You told him how you lived on the streets before Ms. Sherry took you in. How you ran away at such a young age and had to learn to fend for yourself.
You hated yourself.
You didn't realize that Bolin had wrapped his arms around you and held you tight. You were suprised when you felt tears on your back. When you pulled your hands from your face, you noticed that he was crying too.
"W-Why a-are y-you c-crying?" You could barely get the words out.
"B-Because you are! And because your parents treated you totally unfair! I-I think your bending is awesome and you shouldn't hate it! It makes you who you are! And you're, like, the coolest girl I've met!"
That made both of you cry more.
Mako had come to pick Bolin up the next morning. After last night, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted from your shoulders. You were grateful for Bolin and he had become a quick friend.
"Thanks again for letting me stay here Ms. Sherry. (Y/N)."
"Of course! You're welcome anytime, Dear."
"I hope he didn't cause you any trouble. Thanks for looking out for him. (Y/N), was it?" Mako shook your hand.
"Yes that's me. I'm glad I helped him. Thank you for keeping me company, Bolin. Oh! I packed some sweets for you and your friends." You gave him a pink box full of assorted sweets.
"Wow!!! Thanks!!! These look amazing!!!" He happily wolfed down a chocolate donut.
As Bolin was getting into his brother's car, he paused and ran up to you.
"You should come with us to Air Temple Island! There you can meet other Airbenders and they can teach you more about your heritage! What do you say!"
"M-Meet the other Airbenders. I-I don't want to impose. Besides what if they don't like me?!"
"They'll looove you. I'm sure they'd be stocked to meet another airbender!" He gave you puppy eyes and a wide smile.
"It wouldn't hurt, (Y/N). It might be good for you." Ms. Sherry put a hand on your shoulder. You opened your mouth to say something, but she didn't let you start. "And don't worry about the bakery. Derick and Lillian will be here to help. Go have a day off." She gently pushed you into Bolin's chest, making you blush 50 shades of red.
"I-I s-suppose I could go. I have wondered what the island looks like..."
"Great!!! Come on!!!" Bolin pulled you into the car in glee. You had to admit, you were both Nervous and a little bit excited.
You couldn't explain it, but you had a feeling that things would get better. You looked at yours and Bolin's intertwined hands and your heart drummed in your chest.
Unbeknownst to you, Bolina's heart was also thumbing as well.
You felt as if you didn't need to by afraid. So you put your trust in this, not so stranger anymore, and walked foward. You knew that everything would be okay if he was by your side.

Warmth: A Tyrian x Reader One Shot!
Steam rolled off your skin as you stepped out of the bathroom dressed in a towel. Feet feeling cold against the floor making their way to the bedroom. It was in the middle of a cold season which made the atmosphere and things around it colder. You stayed quiet and careful as you passed the collection of sheets on the bed where a certain scorpion barricaded himself from the cold under the mass. He did not like the cold, and grew a hatred for opening doors, and opened windows. You then started collecting things needed for the day ahead. Normally the shower would have woken you up, but the warmth felt so nice, and the feeling of it being sapped right after stepping outside wasn’t too appealing. Feeling lazy from the shower you looked up at the top of the closet and made a pity complaint about keeping the books up so high. Stretching your arms and tippy toes reaching for the books you were about to grab them when a pair of arms slithered around your waist.
“WA…T…Tyrian!” You practically squeaked as the Scorpion tail curled around your legs, and Tyrian’s head practically melted into the naval of your neck. Somehow he had completely caught you off guard, and snuck up from the bed.
“Hmmm so warm…” Tyrian giggled as he tried to bury himself into your neck causing it to tickle. His hands started feeling and lightly tugging at the damp material that kept him from the rest of your heat retaining skin. “This rag however…is rather unnecessary.”
“Tyrian, I…I didn’t know you were awake. I was just getting ready…to…” Your mind started slipping as he started swaying your bodies together. Looking ahead to straighten your thoughts your eyes caught a glimpse of the reflection of his skin and the loose pants he had as his only armor. “Uh…I… I was going to look for a job…” The words were cut off by his hand fiddling with the fold in the towel. “W…Wait! Hold on a moment!” Quickly grabbing the towel, you held it against the light tugging. Your body was swayed backwards into him as he made somewhat of a puffed sigh setting his chin on your shoulder. His words danced in your ear.
“Darling, it’s not nice to keep all the warmth to yourself.” One of his hands traveled down the towel and lifted the bottom revealing a place on your thigh for his hand to feel the heated skin. “Especially since I keep you warm throughout the night…” A low chuckle moved down your neck. “Not that I mind of course…” His words trailed off as he inhaled the heated scent.
“I…I’m not trying to keep it to myself. It’s just that it will all escape into the air when this towel comes off.” You were quick to try to defend yourself against the statement. Granted you didn’t think the statement through for credibility, but his words already had triggered a reaction that made your skin blush warmly, and had your mind almost to the point of shambles.
Tyrian noticed the new shade of red on your face and became determined that no one was going to leave the house anytime soon. “So you mean to say I need merely need to keep you covered hmm? Perhaps I should just keep you in the safety of the covers where I can have your warmth all to myself then.”
BAM! The words sent off alarms in your head, and he started to tighten his grip as he laughed at the even deeper shade of red on your face. Almost strategically he lessened his grip started slowly twirling you both towards the bed. Your mind began to mentally trip as trying to think of a way to accomplish something today, for you knew all too well that if he won you would be his prisoner for the rest of the day. Seeing the prison drawing closer you were able to move the momentum breaking away from his grasp. Eyes set on the door you moved to distance yourself from the bed your mind started to find its footing. “Sorry! But I can’t today… like I said I… Woah!”. Your once again caught off guard as your pulled into a twirl that positions you between the bed and Tyrians giddy face. Also known as the danger zone.
The trained hunter he was, Tyrian knew he was close to victory, and wasn’t about to let it slip. All he needed was one more blow before you were his. “Oh darling…” He lips stretched in a smile as he approached his target. “You didn’t think you could fly away so quickly did you?”
Your mind was dangerously close to falling, and it desperately searched for words to help your stance. “Look…I would love to…but I need to. To…” Her words started to stammer as his face moved closer to hers. His eyes looking for yours as you did your best to avoid them. Which gave you a good look at the bare chest before you. “I need to…find a job…so…I ca.” A finger pressed against your argument, and causing you to look straight into his eyes from the sudden touch. You were caught.
Tyrian giggled before calming down into a seductive tone “I think that’s quite enough dear…” His fingers lightly danced on the towel. As your mind was failing your feet began to unconsciously start stepping back towards the bed with Tyrian slowly stepping forwards. He was careful to not lose his grip on your eyes, not even for a second. “You said it yourself that you would LOVE to join me didn’t you?”
“Oh no…” the thought hit you like the new flush of red on your cheeks as you continued backwards. You had just lost the game.
“That alone tells of your desire. Though I must say you are still far better at composing yourself than I ever will my dear.” His steps become a slightly more exaggerated and he is on the verge of giggles. “Honestly It’s almost painful for me to stop losing myself.” He only giggled for a few seconds, when his voice suddenly had a dark, and lustful purr in your ear. “It’s almost impossible to stop myself from ravishing you to the point where we are both begging for more”
Your feet stop at the bed, and you can do nothing but stand in shock before him. Your mind has never been more fragile, and your breathing has deepened. For a few moments there is only a silent stare between the two of you when Tyrian breathed in, and proceeded to give an apologetic sigh.
“I regret to inform you my dear that I must give into temptation…” You didn’t have time to register what he said before the inevitable happened.
You fell. Both mentally, and physically. Your body fell onto the bed with your hands falling to the side as Tyrians body trapped you underneath. His mouth colliding onto yours as his body works to position you under the covers. As the heat begins to rise from the closed space your bodies are moving against each other with passion. His hands begin to explore your body and lifts his head up once he gets to the fold. His expression is victorious as he begins to kiss your collar bone traveling down. There is only a small gust of cold air to allow the towel to be thrown onto the floor.

I tried being more spicy this time, and I hope you liked it. I would continue it but I don’t know where I could post it since it would technically be a lemon type of deal.
