Meeting (Chapter 1)

Taken

Empress

  It was all falling into place.

  After the first time of failure of capturing that boy, I decided to create another plan.

  She always took him around town with the other humans.

  She wouldn't be able to expose herself there.  She wouldn't be able to stop me.

  Megatron and I work out the details.

  The date is set.

  Moon

  I take Anti's hand, walking down the street toward's the kid's school.

  My short brown hair, grey T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers made me fit in with the rest of the town.

  I just made myself look older.  About 20 years old.

  I hold Anti's hand as we were about to cross the street.

  I had my earpiece in.

  Ratchet wouldn't let me leave base without it.

  I see two deception twin cars on the other side of the street, patrolling.

  I pick Anti up, staggering.

  I had gotten very weak over the past few days.

  I dash to the other side of the street, hiding in between two buildings.

  I keep his head close to my chest.

I was already exhausted. I barely ran for more than three seconds.

  I put Anti down, wheezing.

  "Moon, are you okay?" Ratchet asks.

  "Just spotted two twin deceptions. Can you bridge us back?"

  "H-..... G..... M........R...N..." His signal cut out.

  "Anti, we have to run to Raf's school." I look out from our hiding spot. It was just around the corner.

  "Mama, look out!" I got slammed to the side, Anti ripped from my arms.

  I kept struggling, but my arms were pinned.

  I look, my vision blurry.

  One of the twins had me while the other had Anti.

  "Mama!  Help me!" He cried, yelping from the con's sharp fingers.

  "Hang on!" I struggle, trying to reach my blades.

  I was already too weak.

  I couldn't breath.

  All went black.

  Empress

  I finally have him in my grasp.  And a bonus, too.
