Midnight whisper of Menace - Sunstreaker - ✔️

• Chapter 5. New generation car

No one likes being woken up at 7 AM by an 83 ft tall alien robot. Especially when you have been traveling for more than 10 hours with an awkward silence surrounding you. Knowing that with every move or thing you mutter the car can hear and feel you. But being woken up by a quite dangerous and psychopath for a car, you don't give a snippy remark. Just now, I noticed the state he was in. A guy around the age of 18 or 19 was standing at the footboard. His icy blue eyes were so cold it nearly made me shiver but other than that he's handsome and looks amazing. Nicely shaped torso with a visible eight-pack, nice thighs and biceps and not to mention his smooth and soft fair skin. His face was nicely shaved and his blonde hair in perfect shape.

I wasn't even aware these guys can have a human form. "Get up!" he repeated slowly yet dangerously. I slid out of bed and walked past him. "Just for the record... I am in charge and you have to do whatever I say!" he stated arrogantly while crossing his arms and tilting his head. I snorted, "you would have dumped me anyway if not for the Decepticon showing up... besides... you still haven't told me your name..."

"Sunstreaker..." he grumbled while sitting down and fiddled with his long kitchen knife that was once attached to a holster around his left thigh. "Hmm..." I hummed while disappearing into the bathroom. Sunstreaker is far from a nice guy to have around. He's aggressive, rude, mean and on top of all of that, he's a psychopath. I don't have good experiences with people like Sunstreaker. Although I don't think I can compare him with humans since he's not human.

As we hit the road, Sunstreaker was driving and I was sitting in the passenger seat. "How long before we are in Washington DC?" he asked without looking. "UHm, four days or so.... depends on how fast you drive..." I mumbled. "We have to change my alt-mode... any car shops or whatever?" he asked. "There are plenty of cars around you..." I said. He snorted, insulted, and tilted his head. "Excuse me! I am the most handsome Autobot ever and if you think I will change in ugly cars that are driving around me then you are wrong!" he snorted arrogantly. "I am sorry u majesty," I mocked and rolled my eyes.

"I want a Lamborghini... a modern one. Something yellow..."

"You can try that town over there..." I pointed at the sign. He took the exit and headed for the town. It took him a while before he found a car shop that had all the requirements he had. "That's perfect..." he stated firmly. He cut off his engine and just sat there. "And now?" I asked after a while. "We wait till I am done with fully scanning that car... it's hard because it's standing behind glass... " he muttered. I hummed and fiddled with my hands. "Tell me femme... why were you in a hurry and why on earth did you became so annoyed with me a couple of days ago at the gas station?"

I glanced at him, not sure if I should tell him or not. He noticed my doubts and glanced at me. "Well? It's rude to not answer me!" he snapped. I raised my hands in submission. "My brother... Chase, he's looking for me..." I mumbled. Again, they fell silent and this time I looked at Sunstreaker. "Isn't that a good thing?" he asked. "Not if he's trying to kill you... my parents are murdered on my tenth birthday... when they were out to get my birthday present... my brother joined some gangs and the last one... well it changed him completely. He started to trade weapons... drugs and god knows what else... he also started to kill people. I have seen him chop someone up... I got so scared that I went to the police and told them about the drugs and weapons, but not the killing because I was so afraid. After investigation, they turned him in, but my brother figured out I betrayed him..."

I caught Sunstreaker's icy blue eyes. "It's stupid..." I mumbled and looked down at my lap again. "Stupid? No... I don't think so..." he mumbled and leaned his elbow against the door. "I have a brother too. A twin, Sideswipe. He's the sweetest mech ever and I miss him so horrible much... it's hard for me to believe you actually betrayed your brother while he's your sibling..." he said. "He abused me... he threatened me with a knife... there's nothing left from the sweet brother he once was, Sunstreaker..." I mumbled. "So? You are just letting him down?" he asked. I shrugged, "I dunno..."

Sunstreaker sighed and sat up straight, opening his dashboard, and grabbed the white envelope with my mom's necklace in it. "Aren't you curious about this?" he asked. "You are..." I sulked as I took the white envelope and stared at it. "I am... since the moment you got it..." he mocked. I rolled my eyes and opened it. It's a very small silvery necklace with a symbol. "What does the symbol mean?" he asked as I held it up and looked at it. "I don't know... I think it's our family symbol... I guess. I remember that I have seen it before... once when I was smaller... my aunt and uncle fought about something silly with my parents... and this symbol--" I cut myself off and attached the necklace around my neck. "Doesn't matter... are you done?"

"Almost yes... these stupid people passing are working on my nerves..." he scowled while rolling his icy blue eyes. "Your brother is in Washington DC?" I asked. "Yeah... he came to earth five years after Optimus Prime arrived... that was ten years ago and apparently they have human allies... so that's great!" he mocked. I couldn't help but laugh a little at the sarcastic tune in his voice. "What?!"
"Nothing... nothing, Sunstreaker..."
