Chapter 5:

MALLORY'S POV

"Dude! The news is hitting everywhere! This girl broke prisoners out a prison she was held in!" The guy, Leo, exclaimed as I looked up at him.

"What?" Sam walked over to Leo and looked at the TV. I stood up and walked over, too. As I approached, I saw a picture of a young girl around 20 wearing a black jumpsuit that was tarred and ripped.

Her eyes were a bright glowing purple and her hands only glowed blue.

She sent a blast that had cut off the news feed. I looked over at Sam and saw just how shocked he was. He must have know her.

"Sam? What do we do?" I asked as he looked down at me.

"We go look for this Robo Warrior and get Optimus back." My eyes widened when I heard that. Wait, we can bring him back?! Then I can apologize to him.

"Great! So when do we leave?"

"Tomorrow." Was all he said before he turned the TV off and walked over to his spot next to the girl, Mikaela.

I decided to go sleep in Bumblebee's car mode but I stopped to see my sister making out with somebody. I rolled my eyes and smirked before I cleared my throat.

Her head snapped towards me along with the stranger and I smirked towards them.

"Anything you'd like to share with me?" Courtney blushed into the stranger's shirt as the stranger chuckled.

"Mal, it's me, Bee." My eyes went wide before I looked at his car, then back at him.

"How-so-it...what?"

"It's called a holoform. The Autobots use it to blend in with is humans. But let's say when we first met, I was kind of attracted to it." She said as she laid her head on Bee's chest.

"So...you're like...dating?" She hesitantly nodded before I blinked a couple of times.

"Are you serious?" I smiled widely before I fistbumped the air.

"See?! I told you you would find someone! And you were always doubting me!" I defended as she giggled.

"But wait...how did you guys even meet?" Courtney and Bumblebee looked at each other before Bee scratched the back of his head.

"Well, it's a long story, Mal." He said as I smirked.

"Please...indulge me."

"Okay, so since then...he's been in our...garage?" I asked curiously as Courtney nodded. I shrugged before I yawned softly.

"Tired?" Courtney asked as I nodded. She nodded to Bee before he approached me.

"Let's get you to bed, kid."

??? POV

I felt lost. I felt broken. I felt soulless. I didn't know where I was, all I saw was black. There was nothing I could look down to or up to.

It was just a blank space.

No! Don't give up on them!

Optimus!

"Sam? Mallory?"

This is all my fault. If I hadn't have been there, he wouldn't have died trying to protect me.

"Optimus?" I turned around and saw a glowing blue light. My optics squinted as it shined in them. But when I did, I saw Primus himself. "Primus?"

"Yes, my child. It is I. I have seen everything you have done. And I am extremely proud." My optics widened as I heard this. Primus...was proud of me for dying to protect the humans?

"Why?"

"I myself have made terrible mistakes and I've learned from them. But you protecting the beings you care about is not a mistake I see. It's what you were built for. To protect the beings that can't." Primus gestured behind me and I looked to see Mallory sitting next to Bumblebee.

"What is this?"

"Watch, my child." I watched closely as Mallory spoke to Bumblebee.

"Bumblebee, I may have just met Optimus back in the woods, but I miss him. It's like losing someone you love." She spoke as my optics widened. She misses me?

"I know how you feel. But like I said before, it's not your fault. It's only Megatron's fault. You need to stop balming yourself."

"I know. It's just losing him yesterday was like me losing my mom." It broke my spark listening. I indeed knew her mother. I wasn't there in time to save her from Megatron and she died trying to protect her daughters. Now, Mallory only has her sister to rely on because she has no one else. No child should ever have to experience that.

"Do you see what I mean, child?" I looked back at Primus and nodded before I looked back at Mallory and Bumblebee.

"Because you saved this young girl's life, she has become more drawn to you. Maybe even willing to bring you back." I smiled softly before I looked at Primus.

"How will I know when my time comes to go back?"

"When they are ready, when you are ready, I will be here."

MALLORY'S POV

I hugged my knees to my chest as I finished talking to Bumblebee. I had found out how my mother died and tears now brewed from my eyes.

"Mallory..."

I gasped softly as I heard the call of my name. Thinking I was hallucinating, I brushed it off. Until, I heard it again.

"Mallory..."

"Bumblebee, did you hear that?"

-Hear-what?-

"That voice. My name being called?" Bumblebee rumbled before he spoke again.

-I didn't-hear anything, Mal.-

I sighed before I looked outside. I know what I heard. I'm not crazy. But, the voice sounds so familiar. It almost sounded like...

Optimus!
