Broken: A Transformers Fanfic

Chapter 6: I almost get squished

"Angelica?"

Her eyelids fluttered open.

"What?" She mumbled, struggling to keep her eyes open, rubbing at them to get rid of the sleepiness.

"We're at a gas station," Sideswipe gestured to the store that was to their right as they were parked on the curb. "Do you need anything?"

She sighed and leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes momentarily. "Yeah, sure." She said finally, opening her door and clambering out.

"I'm going to do a lap around the block," He informed her and she waved him off.

Right.

She probably thought he was attempting to get his bearings, which was only partly true.

The other reason was that a Decepticon was nearby.

He couldn't quite pinpoint his location, but he was going to try to lead him away from her.

Why? Because his GPS kept glitching out as it was unaccustomed to the earth's much different makeup than Cybertron.

Fraggin' slag of a fleshling planet.

Unfortunately, the 'Con didn't seem to want to take the bait as he saw no side of him as he drove aimlessly through the nature path.

Where is he?

Annoyed, and slightly frustrated, the Autobot decided to head back to Angelica's position, silently praying to Primus that the 'Con didn't catch up with her before he did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I strolled back out from the roadside gas station, bag full of necessities in hand.

Well, I wouldn't quite say it was full of....necessities.

More of snacks.

I wasn't sure how long this little venture with Samson was going to last, but I wanted to have something to snack on. He didn't seem to eat anything, which I found strange, but I decided not to question him about it.

Not me, so therefore, not my problem.

The sound of tires grinding on gravel snapped me from my thoughts as I turned to regard the black vehicle that had pulled up next to the gas pumps.

Which....Apparently wasn't a vehicle at all.

A loud clang of metal and whirring of gears resonated as the vehicle morphed into a giant metal being with terrifying glowing, hateful red eyes.

I froze in shock. What the fuck is that thing?

Its head turned as it surveyed its surroundings, and dread slowly pooled into my stomach when its eyes landed on me.

Now, if I had any common sense, I'd turn and bust ass the other way. Regrettably, as it was, I was rooted to the spot in a sort of fascinated horror.

Sure, that thing was big as hell.

But it also looked kinda badass...Despite it being able to squish me without a second thought.

The robot slowly approached me, as if it had never seen anything like me before and was attempting to decipher if I was a potential threat or not.

Run. Every single instinct screamed at me. Just haul ass and fucking run, this thing radiates pure evil.

It was as if there was glue stuck on the bottom of my shoes, prohibiting me from moving anywhere.
