Scarlett

chapter 6

~Sapphire's POV~

I sighed as I watched Scarlett space out again. She has been doing that for a while now and I'm honestly starting to get worried. I know she misses her family and our friends. I have to admit that I miss them too. Well, except for my family since I had problems with some of my family members. I'm a little surprised that she's not fangirling since she's obsessed with the movies along with anything that has to do with transformers. She has even watched almost all of the shows except for transformers animated and G1.

"Scar? Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Hm? Yeah, I'm okay." She answered.

"Are you sure?" I frowned.

"I'm sure. Don't worry." She replied.

"If you say so.." I trailed in concern and she smiled. A smile I was able to see right through.

"Honestly, Sapph. I'm fine." She told me before sighing when I gave her an unconvinced look. "I just miss them..."

"I miss them too." I referred to our friends, but her family always welcomed me with open arms as well. "We'll see them again."

"I hope so.." She sighed softly before looking behind me with a raised eyebrow and I glanced back as well, seeing William walking towards us. "Do you need something?"

'This is going to take a while.' I thought and began walking away as Scarlett talked to him. I'm not much of the social type and neither is Scarlett, but she's more social then me. I passed by the soldiers who gave me questioning looks, but ignored it as I kept walking.

I walked towards the bathroom where I washed my face before looking at myself in the mirror.

"Everything is going to be okay." I muttered, trying to reassure myself. "We'll make it through this."

I know a thing or two about what's going to happen because of all the times I had to hear Scarlett rambling about the movies and I got to say I'm worried. We could get killed and who knows how many things will change just by the fact that we're here.

'We have to find a way out of here.' I'll always have Scarlett's back, but a war against giant alien robots? That's gonna take some getting use to. 'At least we have each other.'

It could've been worse. One of us could've been trapped here on our own and got killed on the spot, but we're together. Hopefully, we'll manage to go home soon.

'But what if we don't?' I frowned. 'Well, I'll be stuck here with Scarlett and we'll make the best of it. What's the worst thing that can happen?'

I smiled slightly before leaving the bathroom and going to find Scarlett.

I found Scarlett laying on the same couch she was when I left. She was reading on her phone with Will nowhere in sight.

"So what was that about?" I raised an eyebrow curiously and she looked up at me.

"He was asking about our parents..." She told me quietly and I frowned before sitting down on the couch in front of her.

"What did you tell him?" I asked gently and she sat up with a soft sigh.

"I told him that I don't know what happened to them. That you and I woke up home alone... No note, no nothing."

"Not a complete lie, but not exactly the truth either." I mused. "Nice."

"He would've thought I was nuts if I told him the truth." She smiled weakly and I smirked.

"True. Anything else?"

"He said something about finding us a place for us to stay. 'Kids our age can't be staying by themselves.'" She scoffed and I gave her an amused look.

"Heh. That's true though." I said simply and she shrugged.

"I guess." She placed her phone in her back pocket. "So where did you went off to?"

"Bathroom. You know I don't really like socialising with people." I answered and she smiled.

"Typical." She shook her head. "So what do you wanna do?"

"I don't know." I replied truthfully.

"Then we'll have to socialize." She stated and I frowned.

"Can't we just stay here and read quietly?" I asked dejectedly.

"Hey Sapphire! Scarlett! Come here for a second!" Will called for us and I groaned.

"There's your answer." Scarlett said with an amused grin and I sent her a playful glare before we walked towards the soldier.
