Hidden Spark on Earth (TFP)

Chapter 71

Saphira stared at the location Megatron had brought her to. The warm, humid air surrounded them, the sound of waves crashing into the sand echoed and Saphira looked up at the gulls flying around them. She was in disbelief. Megatron brought her to a beach! A beach! She didn't understand why, though...at the back of her mind...she already knew why. The cons could see there was a change in Megatron's behaviour, and it has all resulted due to her arrival on the ship. She shuddered a little, feeling nervous about what his intentions were.

Megatron suddenly lowered her to the sand, she slid off his hand and fell to her knees, glancing up at him in confusion. "Make yourself comfortable." He walked away and Saphira stared at him. "There isn't anywhere you can run to."

She frowned a little and stood up. "Why are we here?" She asked, he did not respond to her. "Megatron!" Again, no response, and he kept walking away from her.

The con continued walking away, though she heard him hum softly in amusement to her shouting at him. She looked around and brushed the sand off her jeans, wondering where on Earth they were. She guessed it was an island of some sort, as Megatron hinted she could not run anywhere. But...she didn't understand why they were here. He didn't mention if there was an energon signature here or not, and this certainly did not seem like the place for any. Though, the island did have a mountain on it, which she assumed was a dormant volcano.

She rubbed her arm nervously, looking around as she did not know what to do. She thought about going into the island itself, the trees would offer shelter from the hot air. But she also did not know if Megatron would be angry about that. Even if she couldn't escape from the island, she imagined Megatron would want to find her easily so he would not get frustrated. Still...she was intrigued by the island itself, so she walked towards the trees.

A jungle exploration is better than waiting around bored...

She smiled as she felt the coolness under the trees while walking among them. She didn't have much concern for any dangerous animals here. There would only be birds here, and they likely wouldn't bother her very much. The jungle was very green, a lot of tropical trees with vines hanging down from above. She looked up at them curiously, wondering if they were strong enough to swing on.

Scratch that thought, I'll probably just end up with the feeling of vertigo again.

It still interested her anyway. If she could find out where this place was, she could probably tell Optimus when he rescues her, and they could back here. And this would be their own private paradise. Though...she didn't know if he would like it since it was Megatron who brought her here, not him. She sighed a little as she thought about that, deciding maybe it was better to not tell him.

She hummed softly to herself, allowing her hands to brush along the leaves around her. She reached another lining of trees and widened her eyes, finding she had found the center of the island. The mountain was towering above her but there was a lake here. She walked closer to it and cupped some water to taste it, and it was freshwater instead of saltwater. She smiled and took her shoes off before stepping into the calm water.

She shivered a little as the water was very cool. But it was very pleasant. She glanced around for a moment, making sure the coast was clear and removed her jeans and shirt, leaving her with just her bra and panties on. She placed them on the bank, and glanced around again. Megatron was not nearby...good. She turned and ran into the water.

She tensed and shivered as the cold water rose around her as she ran deeper into the lake. She dived into the water, feeling the water embracing her whole being as she dived under the water. She smiled as she saw the lake was not terribly deep. There was no fish, though she did see some crabs crawling along the bottom of the lake. They had raised their claws defensively due to the disturbance from the surface.
