Amber found her jolting up from an all to vivid nightmare. Her forehead was damp with a cold sweat while her body was covered with chill bumbs; but she wasn't cold. She rubbed her eyes and looked around ensuring she was in fact at home and that nightmare was really only a nightmare. She found herself in a strange room, and on a large; very large. Metal table, that made her back ache as if she had just slept on a asphalt road. A some how familiar voice filled the room.
"Ah, the human is awake" she looked over to see the same red robot that attacked her.
Jumping up in complete shock, she felt as if her legs would give out.
"H-how did I get h-ere?!" she tried to hold a steady voice with no success.
The crimson robot made no comment only walked closer to her. His hand transformed into an handsaw blade the fired up with a loud noise. As he steped closer and closer, Amber realized she couldn't move! No matter how much she told herself to run, get away her legs didn't corporate with what she wanted to do.
"Damn it!" she cursed at herself in a shaky voice.
She let out a short gasp when her legs finally moved but not in the way she wanted. As if they were soupy jello her legs gave out causing her to slip off the edge of the table. She let out a rather short scream as she felt herself come closer and closer to the hard gro-.
Amber jolted up with a small scream. The air around her was filled with a horn. Her breath was uneven and shaky as she sucked in breath after breath. Trying to get her breathing regular. The horn stopped for a moment but then filled the air once again. Amber jumped up, her legs were shaky as she soon became scared of the possibility that the horn could be from that red robot, Knockout. But when she pulled the curtain of her window away she saw blue optics staring at her. This caused her to jump back and trip over her own two feet as she fell back. When she realized who it was she breathed.
"Optimus?"
"You were screaming, is everything alright?"
"I was?" she looked at him as he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I was coming to get you when I heard your screaming"
"It was a nightmare" She shook her head as she wiped away the cool sweat that had collected on her forehead.
"I am sorry. Amber be ready to roll out shortly. "
"Roll out?"
Looking at him rather confused he realized his words.
"We will be leaving for base shortly, please be quick to get prepared."
"Um alright"
Optimus stepped away from the window and Amber glanced once more outside to realize it was still very much dark. Confused she glanced over at her alarm clock. 3:14 AM .
Amber quietly shut the door behind her and rushed out to Optimus. Who already had the door open. Why was he here so early? Would this be a daily thing?
"Optimus?" she looked over at the steering wheel.
"Yes?"
"It's very early. Why was I picked up so early?"
Optimus slowed to a stop when the light infront of them turned red.
"I have noticed that the other humans have bonded with guardians. In which since I am your temporary gaurdian I shall do the same"
"Temporary?" Amber asked with a confused tone.
"Indeed. If another Autobot lands on earth then at that point that Autobot will become your guardian."
Amber watched the light turn green, and looked out the window at the darkness of the sleeping city.
"So what is it that you would wish to do?" Optimus caught her attention.
"We don't know alot About on another. Maybe we can start there?"
"What is you would like to know?"
"Why are you here? And who is Megatron?"
"Megatron was once a close friend, one I considered a brother before I became Optimus Prime. "
"Before you became Optimus?"
"Before I became prime I was called Orion Pax. At this time Megatron was called a gladiator, fighting illegally in the pits of kaon. He had been trained for this since he was a sparkling. Winning battles earned those who did fight small fractions of energon which allowed them to live"
"So they were homeless?"
"Yes, and orphaned as well. This was how some survived on cybertron. Megatron soon wished to become a prime. As he stated both his ideas and how to better cybertron. I did not agree"
"So Megatron feels betrayed?"
"Yes" it was a quick answer. Almost like he wanted it to be over.
Amber bit her lip trying to figure out another topic; and fast.
"Do you like earth?"
"It is almost home to me" there was a sting in 'almost'.
Amber looked at the steering wheel. She yawned as she tried to wipe away her sleepiness.
"Are you in need of a power down?"
Amber closed her eyes once more as she yawned.
"Yeah. I'm not exactly up during this time"
"Human customs?" he seemed curious.
"Most humans sleep at night. How often to do You rest" she layed down across the seat and curled to a comfortable position.
"It can always change"
"Optimus?" Amber yawned once more as she started to fall alseep.
"Yes Amber?"
"Will Megatron target me because I'm now your human?"
This left an unsettling feeling in Optimus' spark. He hadn't thought about. Megatron could very well target her for who she was and the simple fact he was her guardian.
