The bonded (sequel to the sentient inside)

chapter 2

Electra slowly came too after a few hours of being out. She had hopes that her father's death was just a dream. Unfortunately when she awoke she found that it was all real. She tried to reach for her father to find he wasn't there. She couldn't feel him. She let out a small sob as she closed her eyes again and turned onto her side curling up into a ball as she cried for her father. She felt someone lay a servo on her shoulder and opened her eyes to find it was Jolt and for once he looked serious.

"Hey are you alright Electra do you need anything." He asked her and she shook her head no.

"I just want my dad alive." She said softly and Jolt gave her a sympathetic look and pulled the newly turned youngling into his arms where she cried. He just held her as she cried and clinged to him for dear life. He knew what it felt like to lose loved ones and had hopes that she wouldn't have had to deal with that, unfortunately she did.

"Sometimes it is their time to go and sometimes they leave this world to young but they will always be with you in your spark. Just remember that and everything will be just fine. Not now and not tomorrow but soon." He said to her softly and she gave him a sad smile.

"Thank you jolt." She said softly and he nodded.

"Now come on were gonna get you out of here. First-aid is tending to your mother." He said and she nodded and he helped her off the berth and they walked out of the med bay. Everyone was so solemn once they saw her. They all looked at her with either pity or sympathy. She didn't want their pity nor their sympathy. They walked out onto the tarmac at the exact wrong time as they had just brought her father's body back. She slowly walked over to him and kneeled next to his body her eyes filling with tears.

"How could they take you from me and mom?" She said softly as tears fell from her eyes. She felt a servo yet again on her shoulder and instantly knew who it was.

"It is the cost of war Electra." She heard her grandfather say and she growled.

"I dislike it. This war must be stopped." She growled and he sighed.

"There is only so little we can do now." He said and she narrowed her eyes at him.

"My father would not want the Autobot's to give up. He would want us to continue fighting. So that is exactly what we're going to do." She says as she stands straight like a soldier ready for war. That's when the humans pulled up in their jeeps.

"You dare point your weapons at me." She heard her uncle Ironhide say as he and the other Autobot's pointed their weapons at the humans.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Lower your weapons. Lower...lower your weapons..." Lennox slammed his hand on one of the jeeps then pointed to a human male.

"Tell them to lower their weapons." He said and the man sighed.

"Them first...it's not up to me." He said and Lennox groaned as Galloway stepped out. They started talking and Electra tuned them out. Till he said something that put her in a rage.

"We will end this like we always have with military coordination now get your assets back to base and take that pile of scrap metal with you." he said and Electra snarled.

"How dare you." She roared and it took both jolt and ratchet to hold her back.

"How dare I what tin can." He growled and her optics flashed white in her rage.

"You insult the one mech who thinks you humans are worth saving. We have saved your tailpipes more than once and you dare insult my father. If it wasn't against that bots rules I would have smashed you by now." She snarled pointing at her offlined father during the last part of her speech. Unfortunately she had promised her father she would never harm the humans and she would always protect them.
