Scarlett

chapter 3

~Sapphire's POV~

As I ran towards the soldiers, I slowed to a stop when I noticed Mikaela arguing with Will about not leaving without getting Bumblebee out of there.

'Should I?' I wondered before shrugging and jogging over to her.

"Do you need some help?" I asked her with a smile making her turn towards me in surprise. "I'm Sapphire."

"Mikaela."

"It's nice to meet you. So, do you need some help?" I gestured towards the Autobot and she nodded making my smile widen slightly before I helped her.

The rest was silent as we finished applying the last of the chains to the yellow Autobot to secure him while Lennox shouted for us to get out of here.

"Going! I'm going!" Mikaela cried back, making the last touches and sprinting around, although paused when she noticed I didn't follow. "Sapphire, come on!"

I looked in the direction my best friend ran off before sighing and nodding as I ran towards the passenger's seat. Mikaela got in the driver's seat and put the pedal to the metal just in time, the tank Decepticon within yards and still firing on us. I held back a curse as I mentally prayed for Scarlett to be okay. That idiot always found a way to get herself into trouble one way or another.

I rested my head in the seat as Mikaela pulled up in an alleyway. She placed her head in the steering wheel and took shaky breaths while I sighed before looking at her.

"You okay, Mikaela?" I asked hesitantly.

"Y-Yeah." She answered and we both looked back at Bumblebee who nodded.

Mikaela kicked the tow truck into gear and drove off. Peeling out of the alleyway, I could hear Bumblebee's whirs before Mikaela turned around to look at the Autobot.

"I drive, you shoot!" She told him and I couldn't stop the grin that formed on my face. "Hold on."

"You don't need to tell me twice." My grin turned into a smirk. "Hit it."

And so it began.
