Secret Santa Gift: Lau

LBS-chan You couldn't possibly think I forgot about my favorite person?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

Here's your gift, a wonderful little piece about The Big Escape, yet again inspired by a RP!

Honestly, loved writing this <3

She was running (or was she being dragged? It was too loud to think, the sensations were all wrong, it was so hot, too hot, why is everything on fire-) through the hall, her sibling (who?) first, dragging her (so she was being dragged) away from the destruction behind them.

She didn't know why they were running. Who they were escaping from.

:I love you all so, so much, my dears.:

She remembers the sudden feeling of dread as the message came from whowhowho, her spark squeezing and then imploding in on itself as the telltale sound of Shockwave's (why did that name bring so much fear into her spark?) fusion cannon firing echoed against the walls. She remembered opening her mouthplates, a horrid scream leaving her vocaliser as she struggled against her siblings's hold, trying to go back, to get them too, to see them again, to prove they're not gone, they're not dead-

The frequency you're trying to reach does not exist. Please try inputting a valid communicationlink fre-

No. Nonono-

She doesn't know whenever the sound of a dull thud is real or just a figment of her imagination, whenever she can actually hear their body hitting the ground. She doubts it, in some deep part of her mind, she knows the chaos around her is much too loud for such a small detail to get through.

She doesn't realize it yet though. It's all too confusing right now.

She screamed more, her vocaliser raw. She grasped her sibling tighter, crying helplessly on his back (on his back? She was being carried? Wasn't she dragged just a second ago-) as the hellfire rained from behind them. Everything was just so blurry. She tried to say their name, to call out to them, to make them come back.

Because she can't bear the thought of them dying, no matter how she knew that day would come sooner than later. She knew if Shockwave wouldn't kill them, their illness would, and yet it was supposed to be different, not like this, not amongst this blazing wreckage of her prison. Not like this, never like this, they didn't deserve such a death.

They deserved so much more from the world. They were so important, so amazing, so loving and caring towards her and her siblings (more? There's more?), that she couldn't bear the thought of them gone.

The thought of her carrier gone.

Her carrier, whose name was is-

Her optics onlined with a slight snap and Blueflame woke up with a gasp, almost flying up in her berth. As she heaved through her vents she faintly noticed Ravage's displeased grumbles, unappreciative of her sudden movement. She absently reached out a servo and pet him gently on his head, the familiar motions somewhat calming to her rapidly beating spark.

She glanced around. Everything was the same as always. Nothing special, nothing out of place, nothing to possibly blame for that dream... or was it a nightmare?

Or something more?

At last, Blueflame sat there in silence, contemplating.

That dream...

For Primus's sake, what the hell was that?!

Merry Christmas Lau! Luv ya <3
