Sweet Like Honey But Sting Like A Bee

~2.4~

~2.4~

There were so many deaths.

So many innocent souls are being taken.

They did not care, did not feel the consequences of their actions.

In fact, they were prepared to do whatever it took.

They were searching and wouldn't stop until they found what they wanted.

My heart, my mind, my entire being cried out in pain and in anguish.

This...this was all my fault.

My brain on a platter, my body broken and bloody on the ground.

A shiver ran down my spine and I froze before slowly turning around. I felt complete terror seize my body as I saw red optics glare directly at me in the darkness. My body shook and I crumbled to my knees with my head in my hands. I was completely scared, not thinking straight.

This was all my fault!

I looked to see a huge machine with six huge Cybertronians fighting against one. My eyes widened.

The Fallen.

And he was back to have his revenge.

My body shook as I sobbed.

These worlds will never be the same. These souls will never be the same.

My eyes flew open as I gasped for breath.

"Layla!"

I blinked and focused on the figure above me. The blue eyes of Bumblebee's holoform were above me, and seeing him significantly calmed me down. Relieved that there was no ugly ass Decepticon over me.

I immediately struggled to sit up, ignoring the aches and pains before embracing him with tears flowing down my face. Bee tightly wrapped his arms around me, halfway pulling me into his lap. The warmth of him feeling good on my cold skin.

'Run'

I sobbed as reality hit again. Optimus Prime is dead, his sparked ripped through.

"He's gone." I whispered and closed my eyes. "Optimus is gone."

Against me, I felt Bumblebee sigh sadly. "Yes."

"So many, Bumblebee!" I cried. "It's all my fault!"

Bumblebee's arms tightened. "No," he said fiercely. "None of this is your fault."

I pulled away, my hands resting on his chest as I glared into his beautiful blue eyes. "How isn't it!? Thousands of lives are gone because of me!"

And I could see the realization in Bee's eyes. He could tell that I knew about the searches happening for me and my brother. That neighbourhoods were being pulled apart, cities in chaos. People were dying.

More tears fell, and I hung my head.

"Layla," Bumblebee said gently, and his warm hands cupped my cheeks, wiping my tears as he raised my head so that I could look at him. "None of this is your fault."

"This was beyond your control. Beyond any of us."

My face hardened. "Not beyond the Allspark"

Bumblebee stared into my eyes before bringing me to his chest again, and I couldn't help the sobs and hushed cries that escaped me.

Bee held me and didn't let go, providing the only comfort he knew how to give as he knew his words would fail.

He didn't say anything and just held me until I managed to calm down slightly.
