Zara's New Life

Chapter 5: Trip out.

Optimus and I waited in the hanger for the Autobots that O.P suggested to show up. One by one they did.

"Zara would like to get off the base for a while..." Optimus started when everyone was here. "And she would like us to go with her."

I looked up at the group of Autobots wondering if they would come. Elita-1 walked up to Optimus and leaned against him.

"Of course I'll come. A chance to get off the base and spend some time with our special sparkling. How could I decline?" she said kindly.

Apparently Elita-1 and O.P were spark mated, married in other words. Same with IronHide and Chromia. The two couples obviously didn't mind showing their love for one another because Chromia was leaning up against IronHide and he had his arm wrapped around her waist.

"Yeah, sure. We'll come..." I turned to look at Sideswipe. "Won't we Sunny?" said Sides elbowing his twin in the side.

"I don't see why. This sparkling can obviously defend herself." Said Sunny.

I changed into a dragon and growled at him, revealing my teeth.

"If you don't come, I'll stun you and drag your big, sorry aft with us." I threatened. I got shocked looks from the others after they heard my threat.

Sunny put his hands up in the air. "Alright, I'll come." He said sounding a little panicked. I smiled.

I trotted up to Sunny's huge metal foot and went around him, brushing up against his foot like a cat would. I let my pleasure and amusement escape my throat in a purr. I trotted back to my spot beside Optimus. All the Autobots looked at me in a strange way, I guess you could say that they were weireded out.

"What?" I asked. They still looked at me then I realised what I had just done. "Oooohhhhh. Ok, lets just say I'm more dragon than human in this form."

"Why the trip all of a sudden? You didn't come and ask me if you wanted to go off the base." Asked Bee.

"It was Optimus who suggested it." I replied.

"Zara has seemed a little panicked as of late. Perhaps a trip off the base will do her good." Said Ratchet. "And if she wants all of us to come then I don't see why we couldn't." They all nodded in agreement. I let my delight escape in another purr.

"Could Sam and Mikalea come?" asked Bee.

I was surprised he asked that. As much as I wanted them to come I thought it wouldn't be such a good idea. Whatever was going to happen was going to happen soon and I didn't want them to get hurt. How was I supposed to explain it to Bee? The first four Autobots introduced to me knew more about my abilities than any other Autobot. But Optimus knew the most.

"I would love for them to come Bee but..." I looked up to Optimus wondering if it was ok to explain. And he nodded in answer to my silent question. I looked down to my paws. I sighed. "I don't want them getting hurt." The Autobots seemed confused. "Bee do you remember the day we went shopping?" he nodded. "Well when we left I got a bad feeling, like something bad was coming." I looked to the others. "These feeling I get can warn me of events to come, they can't tell me where or when they are going to happen but they tell me that something up." I explained to the others but this next part no one knew. "But as the due time gets closer that feeling gets stronger." I swallowed hard. My voice felt as if it was about to give out but I tried to keep my voice steady and clam. "Then came round eighteen on the day my fighting skills were assessed, the day most of you found out about my abilities. When that round started I sensed something different about one of the dummies but then it vanished as quickly as I sensed it. When round twenty two came there was defiantly something different about one of the dummies." I wished I had told Optimus this next part before now. "Before I was forced into stasis lock I noticed that one of the dummies didn't have the pure electric blue optics like you guys, they had a tinge of red to them. And a symbol appeared on its shoulder. I couldn't recognise it cause my sight was blurred." I looked up to Optimus. "I'm sorry I hadn't told you this till now. I wasn't sure at what I had seen."
