Margaret walked along the beach of Fox Landing, the beach in Catalina she has been staying on for a full 2 weeks, having no contact with the outside world. She grasped her phone, prepared to call her father, to end all their suffering.

But she sighed, "No..." And put away her phone in her makeshift purse she made out of leather.

Tears rolled down her cheek and she squeaked, "This happens everyday...I get ready to call him but I...I don't have the guts like a tyrants supposed to have..."

She walked up the pier and her wings came out of her back. She sighed, "It's time to fly somewhere new..."

She launched into the sky, and hid in the clouds away from any peering eyes. As she flew through the sky she spotted another island, in Europe. It was Italy. She landed in the trees, remaining in the shade.

She crept through the bushes lining the forest, making no noise. But when she heard a rustle in a bush near her, she blew her cover and jumped up, her wings pointed to the air.

She yelled, "Show yourself whoever you are!" Then, a young girl came out of the bush, a girl like Margaret, except she had blue eyes instead of red.

Margaret's eyes widened as she looked down on the little girl that looked up at her in fear. The young girl whimpered, "Please don't hurt me miss." But then she stopped being scared but extremly curious. She said, "Your eyes...they are...kinda like mine...they glimmer in the light...except...yours are red and a little more...evil like."

Margaret looked at the little girl strangely. She asked, "What's your name, little girl?"

The little girl answered, "My name is Annie. But my father said the robot said that my name was Night Glimmer."

Margaret's eyes widened as she remembered the name. She thought, "Oh. My. Primus...SHES OPTIMUS' DAUGHTER!"

Margaret stuttered, "I-impossible...Optimus s-said you w-were dead..."

Annie looked confused but then her eyes widened also. She whispered, "How did you know the robots name?"

Margaret whispered, "Your his daughter..."

Annie gasped, "That's why my father didn't want him to see me! He was probably jealous!"

Margaret shook her head and asked, "Why the hell are you in the forest in Italy?!"

Annie answered, "Well I ran away from father because I became scared when he began to watch me sleep at night and I live in Italy...so yea..."

Margaret rubbed her head, "Well good for you for running from that creep foster father I suppose...but I'm afraid that I need to use you as ransom." She sighed.

Annie backed up a bit and said, "Why?"

Margaret rolled her eyes and replied, "Because. Your father, Optimus Prime. He wants me dead because I'm too powerful. So, If I tell him that I won't let you go unless he lets me be free and live with my father, the mighty Lord Megatron, who thinks IM DEAD, and if he doesn't, you'll become my prisoner...well, not really prisoner, kinda like, sister that will never let you go."

Annie nodded and said, "I wouldn't have a problem with being your sister, you seem nice...in a weird way."

Margaret chuckled, "Well I think you'd be a good little sister."

Annie took Margaret's hand, making her jump but feel...happy, since she has company. Annie smiled and laughed, "Now, I'll try to act frightened while you comm him, ok?"

Margaret nodded and said, "Hold on tight I'm taking off." Annie grabbed onto Margaret in a weird hug and they took off into the sky.
