Transformers Prime Last Light

Chapter 13

Yesterday events had really hard a toll on me. I had to get stitches and my wrist wrapped. Apparently I hit the other guy hard enough to fracture my wrist. Not to mention the mental bruse of me killing the guy engraved into my brain. But now Optimus now knows my secret. I am afraid of what the others will say and do when they find out. Optimus said he'd tell them for me tho. I had my headphones in and was listening to music humming softly trying to ease my anxiety exploding into my chest. I feel the ground shake a lot indicating that a bot was running. I take my head phones off and I see Ratchet fast walking at me. I jump to my feet backing up fast not knowing what I was going to expect. Optimus was just standing there! Hello there's a giant robot mad doctor running at me!!I was scooped up and heald in a embrace? I blink both confused and a little mad at Optimus for no warning. I sent him a glare. He smiled. Ratchet made it so I was looking at him. "I am sorry you had to go throw that at such a young age." He finally spoke. I relax for a moment before it hits harder. "The others how did they take it. No one hates me now do they? What about Iornhide does he hate me for not telling him?" I rambled. Optimus walks up closer. "No one blames you or thinks any different then they did when they didn't know." He reassures. I relax completely with a exhausted sigh. Ratchet chuckled. I look up hearing more foot steps and see Iornhide. "Hey want to go for a ride with me?" He asked. I look at Optimus and Ratchet. They nod and Ratchet hands me to Hide. He sets me on his shoulder as we walkout. I glanced at my parents and see them with warm smiles that warmed my heart. "It's going to take forever to get used to that." I say. Iornhide glanced at me with a smirk. "We'll I hardly doubt they'd leave you considering how much you did for them." He chuckles softly. I nodded. "Well I am still getting used to the whole love thing. Feels weird in a good way." I stated. He smiles at me. "Well I know how you feel." He responded. I lean against his head "Well that's why your amazing to be around. Other than being the best battle Buddy ever!" I excitedly spoke. Iornhide transformed around me and drives out of base. "That's what I want to talk about." He seriously spoke. My heart freezes. Great more anxiety problems. But I wait for him to continue. "Rain I am sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner. Had I not have ran off to clear my head I'd have been able to save you." He apologized. "It's not your fault. The guy was stronger than me. I was struggling to with having to kill someone else. I might not have known the guy but he's still human. I could have just taken someone's family away from them. I am the one to blame. I should have been more prepared than that." I explained resting my hand on the dash. He sighs shaking the interior slightly. He pulls over and his holoform appears and raps me into a tight warm hug. "I thought I had lost you." He sadly spoke. I hug him back. "I'm sorry for scaring you. I had no intention of getting badly hurt like that." I tried to soothe. He pulls back and I see sadness in his eyes. I look down. "I'm sorry I'm not good with these types of things." I apologized. He gently nudges me. "You did fine. Don't mean I won't worry about you. You mean a lot to me Rain. Me and everyone else would have been crushed with out you." He confessed. I smile and kiss his cheek. " Consider that a promise I will try harder to be careful." I declared with a bright smile. He smiles back and rubs my head with his hand messing up my hair. We ended up going back to base and I took a nap on the couch next to Ratchet's work space. When I woke about an hour later I noticed he was gone and the boys were all playing Mario party on the Wii. I rub my eyes and look around more and see Optimus walking up to me. "Greetings Rain. Rest well?" He asked quietly trying to not annoy the others. I nodd. He transformed into his truck mode and his holoform gets out and walks up the stairs and sits in a chair. " Me and Ratchet have been talking about you while you were injured. We were wondering if you would like to be come a permanent part of our family?" He asked. My heart fly's out of my chest with happiness. "You both have been already apart of mine."I responded. He smile. "Would you like to have a parental bond formed?" He asked confusing me. Ratchet walks up the stairs. "It's a bond that allows us to connect throw our minds, emotions and souls. It allows us to feel what you feel and what we feel and hear what we want you to hear throw our minds and what we can here throw yours." He explains. I stood there shocked. They both really see me as there family. I tear up and sit on a chair. They both looked concerned and walk over to me. Ratchet grabs my hand. "I..I'm sorry it's just you are both my first real family. I am honored to participate in your costume of family adopting." I happily cry out. Ratchet gives me a tight embrace. "But why are you sad?" Optimus asked still a little confused. I dry my tears with my arm. "Because this is the first time I ever felt love." I sadly spoke. They glance at each other then me both grabbing a hand. "I assume you have missed out on of a lot of feelings as you were growing up. But do not fret young one we will be hear to guide you and help you as you experience each new emotion." Optimus spoke up. I hug both of them as if my life depend on it. "Thank you for being my family and friend." I whispered. Lets say that today was a wonderful awakening to what the good side of life could like... I follow them into there room....It's been a long battle. We may have only known each other for a while but...As they become more of a family.... This place becomes more of my home. Every one has made peace with each other. Yes we still agree and disagree of a lot of things but we never take each other for granted. I never will take what I have gained for granted.... I sit on Iornhide's shoulder as we look at the setting sun above the mountain a smile of hope spreads acrossed my face. As the day ends only tomorrow will tell what adventure awaits.

... But some time happiness never truly lasts forever....
