EDITING- Her Courage, His Burning Rage (Book 3) (Dark Of The Moon)

Chapter 1

6 years Later

I open my tired eyes dreading today. The one month and day I fear most in my life, my birthday that's right! I'm turning 26 years old today and I hate it! It makes me feel old but I know I'm not old it just feels like that because time flies by so fast.

The sound of my alarm clock rings throughout my warehouse style apartment in D.C. makes the moment a whole a lot worse. I moved here after I graduated from Penn State with my Masters degree in Biochemistry.

Sam included we live in the same apartment building.

I didn't realize we were to live in the same apartment building until I moved in here.

Coincidence?

It's also interesting how Sam and I share the same birth month June the only difference between us is the year and day we were born. Ron and Judy couldn't make it so they wished him happy birthday over the phone.

I contributed my part by taking him out to get wasted just the two of us and I never want to see a drunk Sam ever again. He looked like he enjoyed his 22nd birthday.

He destroyed my flat screen television with a baseball bat because he thought it was a Decepticon! I've never been more pissed off in my life that I didn't talk him for a few days.

I sit up in bed yawning my eyes instantly widened at the time. I was supposed to be at Billy's Auto Shop at 8:00 AM it's now 10:00 o'clock. I jump up out of bed nearly falling on my face as I rushed to the bathroom to shower. You're probably wondering why the hell I am working at an auto mechanic shop when I could be a scientist but working on cars is more than just a passion.

I quickly get in the shower and turned on the water not aware of the other presence in the shower with me. I turn around looking down at Wheelie who's staring right back up at me.

"Wheelie!" I cried kicking him with my foot but he grabbed my thigh, holding on for dear life.

"Get off!" I shrieked hitting him on top of his helm.

He cooed in cybertronian, saying "Mmmm, mistress, smells nice. Optimus has no idea what's his missing." I grab him by his neck prowling him off of my thigh he screams as I throw him over the shower rail.

"OW! NOT SO ROUGH MISTRESS!" Wheelie cried rubbing his helm.

"Go sit with Q and Pax out in the living room! Go Wheelie!" I ordered.

"No freakin' way! Those monster sparklings like pulling off my servos!" Wheelie whined as he ran off into the hallway, I roll my eyes before quickly finishing up my shower.

When finished I switch off the shower, wrapping myself in my fluffy black towel. I rushed back to my bedroom in a haste. I pull my vanity drawer open searching for my undergarments.

"Brains?! Why are you in my underwear again?!" I screamed grabbing him by one of his peds.

"Easy! Easy! Lily!" He squealed thrusting around in my death grip.

I give him a murderous glare and he squirms under my heated eyes.

"Why were you sleeping in my underwear drawer?!" I demand he answer me.

"It was all Wheelie's idea! Honest! He said it's part of our mission!" He cried, shielding his optics.

"Brains! You traitor!" Wheelie comes into my bedroom pissed off.
