Zara's New Life

Chapter 8: Hello StarKnight. The new Autobot!

I was in my room, on the couch watching a movie. Ratchet had let me out of the med bay about a week ago. My cuts had healed over as best as they could and now I have scars. I'm still in my dragon form, I have tried many times to change back but I can't. I think it has something to do with the fact that my wing is broken.

I felt Sam's and Mikaela's presence coming down the hall. I was wondering how they would react to my new look, I guess I'm about to find out. I got up and paused the movie, I went over to the door just as it slid open and Sam and Mikaela walked in. When they saw me, the look they gave said it all.

"Hey Sam, Mikaela."

"What happen to you?" asked Mikaela.

"One word. Decepticons."

There was a few moments silence as they took in my new look.

"Anyway, we came to say thank you for bringing Bee back." Said Sam.

"Bee's a pretty cool Autobot and a very good friend. Life would be different without him." I replied.

Then I realised that life is going to be different without any of the Autobots around when I get back home. I looked around the room knowing I won't be here for every much longer.

"Is everything ok?" asked Sam.

"Yeah. Life is defiantly going to be different for me when I get home." I said still looking at the room. I looked back at Sam and Mikaela. "Not having the Autobots around is going to be strange. No Ratchet coming up to me every now and then wondering how I'm doing. No training with IronHide. No twins pulling pranks on me. And I won't be able to see you two. Primus everything is going to be different."

"So Optimus has found a way for you to get home?" asked Sam.

"No. He hasn't told me if he has found a way but that's not like him. Has Bumblebee told you any more about my abilities?"

"He told us you get these feeling that in a way tell you that an event is coming up." Said Mikaela.

"That's how I know I'm going home soon. They don't tell me what's going to happen but sometimes they are easy to figure out."

"Well that is good news to hear."

"I wonder how Anna is going to react when she sees me like this."

"Anna?" asked Sam.

"Anna is my best friend back home and she is the only one to know about my ability."

"So your parents don't know?" asked Mikaela.

I shook my head.

"Why?" asked Sam.

"'cause I'm afraid of the way they will react. Not even Anna was supposed to find out."

"Well tell them. They have the right to know and if you don't, then one day they will find out the hard way." said Mikaela. I looked to the ground, she was right, if I don't tell them, they will find out the hard way and it will be even harder for me to explain. I looked back to her.

"Ok, I will." I went back to the T.V and turned it off. I went back to Sam and Mikaela. "I'm going to go hunt. I'm quite hungry now that I think about it." I said to them as I walked by and out of my room. Sam and Mikaela shared a quick confused look with each other.

"Why not go to the cafeteria and get something from there?" asked Sam

"I'm more dragon in this form and my instincts are telling me to hunt. Besides I have never hunted before so I want to give it a try." I replied and they followed. I walked through the halls to the hanger and then outside. I sensed for any animal presences and I picked up a few. I sniffed the air and picked up the scent of rabbit close by. I walked into the long, dried out grass, downwind of the rabbit. I lowered myself into a hunters crouch, I could see it a few meters away. Sam and Mikaela watched quietly in the hanger. They were soon joined by Optimus.
