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

Chapter 13

A piece of me felt like it just died as I stare at Barricade's offline optics. "Goodbye, my friend." I whisper and slide off his chassis and make a run for it in the opposite direction.

The city is full of screams and mayhem as innocent civilians continue to run for their lives. I had hoped for the betterment of good as I run down the desolate street of crumbled buildings, overturned cars, and many dead bodies of men, women, and children. I didn't realize at this exact moment that I could possibly die today and the thought sickens me. I will never make it to Sam and without the Autobots we're surely goners without a doubt.

"What will become of us?" I asked myself. I didn't realize as I was running I was approaching the demolish highway. The welcome to Chicago sign covered in debris and had a huge hole through it.

I look around blearily. I jumped in surprise to the whirring sound overhead. I ran diving behind a piece of debris.

My god! What am I gonna do? I really wished Barricade was here to protect me from being killed by that evil Decepticon airship flying over head.

I cover my ears as the whirring gets louder, but I don't move from my hiding spot. My eyes pop open, as I hear a shifting behind me.

"Don't tell me?!" I screamed.

The Decepticon airship activated its weapons, shooting, at the debris I was hiding behind. I make a run for it avoiding any penalties of falling, I never ran this fast in my life. Never ending battle stuff keeps me fit. There's wasn't many places I could hide out in. The Decepticon airship continued to fire everything in its wake. I continued to run, but I suddenly stopped. I slipped my engagement ring off activating my Energon blades the Decepticon must have seen them because it stopped shooting. This may be completely reckless and absolutely idiotic. I had nothing else to lose anyway.

I run up on the ship considering it was pretty low to the ground. I jumped on it and flinched as I nearly slid off, but managed to stab my sword and Axe into the front of it. I launch myself through the window. Leaping through the window. The Decepticon's blood red optics widened in surprise at my determination. The Decepticon tried to grab me, but I crawled around his sharp claws. And landed on top of his helm swinging my sword and Axe.

I swung the sword stabbing the Decepticon through one of its optics and it roared out in pain. The Decepticon snarled trying to grab me in its clutches, but I managed to jump out of the way in time. I stopped right away from the sound of heavy peds coming towards the control room where I killed the con in. I fall onto the floor, making very little noise. I run hiding in between one of the genesis chambers and the weaponry. A feeling of panic and terror stuck me when the con noticed the shattered window.

"Shockwave someone's aboard our ship!"  Shockwave growls and grabs Soundwave by the neck and yells "Don't tell me! Find it now! You competent fool!"

Shockwave throws him way and storms out of the control room with a growl. "Once you find the pest Soundwave bring her to me!" he ordered.

"Come out fleshing! I can smell you!" Soundwave's gravely voice commands.

My hands tightened up around the hilt of my weapons my anger coming to the surface. Rage like never before filled me as I continued to listen to the con ordering me to make myself present.

I run out of my hiding spot. "You killed Barricade!" I snapped.

The metallic creature snarls and sounds at a intimidating height. My eyes darken in color. My blood boiling. I could still hear screams of men, women, and children. I found myself feeling sense of great anger at the thought of the poor humans who didn't deserve what was happening to them.
