I was dozing off in the window of the ship. I looked over to Cade and swallowed hard. I walked over and tapped his shoulder.

"She talks! Something on your mind kid?" He asked.

(A/N: Hi, future author here. I just want to say I deeply apologize for putting so many Epic references in here. Not like, "COOL, THEY'RE EPIC!" Like the kind with the leaf men and all that jizz. It made me smash my head across some glass on a table for a couple hours, but I apologize with baby Bumbleebee's and Optimus kisses. ON WITH LÈ STORY!)

"Cade, I need to talk to you. Now." I whispered, although I saw Optimus looking at us out of the corner of my eyes.

Cade followed me to the lower deck of the ship. "Something's wrong."

"Cade..." I whimpered,"I messed up. I messed up bad."

"Well, what did you do?" After a while of me being silent he grabbed my shoulders,"Y/N.. what happened when you were on that ship?"

I looked up at him with clouded eyes that were glazed over,"I gave myself away. There was a man named Attinger and he said if I gave myself up, he would leave Optimus and the others alone. I have to suffer their consequences though." I whimpered.

Cade stumbled back and put his hands on his head,"Oh my god."

"Cade... I'm so sorry." I cried, I tried to walk up to him but he just took me into a hug.

"I won't let them take you." He said.

"You don't have the choice," I whispered, walking past him and back to the upper deck where everyone was.

"We're almost there," Hound informed.

I on the other hand was leaning against a window to the outside. I heard footsteps behind me and I put my hand on the glass.

"I have never wanted to be closer to the outside up until now. This may be the last time I see it." I smiled, turning around and saw Optimus staring at me with narrowed optics.

"We're here!"

~•~•~•~•~

"We're hit! We're hit!" Hound shouted as an explosion threw me, Shane, and Cade off of the boarding deck.

Drift, Crosshairs, and Optimus went off on their own and the rest of us went off on our own.

We went across the rooftops,"I count ten below!"

Me and the humans began walking somewhere else with the Seed. We loaded into the elevator but it wouldn't go anywhere.

"Too much weight!" Cade yelled and jumped out, making a run for it.

"Dad, no!"

We went down the elevator and ran through the halls, eventually getting stuck behind some old ladies.

"How do you say 'get the hell out of the way' in Chinese?!" Joshua asked.

We made it past them and were running through the streets with Bee covering us. I looked up and saw Cade and Savoy brawling out.

If he saw me I'd be done for.

I continued running with the others and Cade met up with us. Tessa hugged him and I looked at Hound. Who was having a shootout with some deceptions.
