To Break | Transformers Age Of Extinction | {BOOK 4}

Chapter 8

I took in a deep breath as I walked down the muddy man-made trails. The woods were quiet, birds and crickets chirped away. The trails were a cool tempature considering how the tall trees with its long branches and green leaves blocked most of the sun from entering the trails.

The trails were empty, no other human in sight which was good news. At least I don't have to worry about being spotted...

I sighed, taking in a deep breath. Walking seemed to have calmed down my nerves. I can't remember the last time I was ever this calm.

Come to think of it, I can't even remember how long its been since we've been on the run. I pull the blue baseball cap I was wearing down to shield my face better as I continued to walk.

I chewed on my inner cheek with my teeth as I kept darting my eyes back and forth, up and down...constantly checking my surroundings as I walked. Last thing I need is to get caught...

Yes this was insanely risky, but I just needed to get away for a little while. I just wanted to be able to breathe...to just let go for a little while.

There was a large patch of sunlight that had managed to get through the large branches; a large spotlight of warm sunlight set right at the middle of the muddy path I was walking on.

I step into the spotlight, feeling the warmth of the sun heat my body. I closed my eyes, taking in a deep breath as I look up; allowing the heat from the sun to warm my face.

A small smile forms on my lips as the heat felt comforting. After a small moment has passed I continue my walk down the trails. Surprisingly there wasn't many people around; given by how nice the weather was.

Who am I to complain? At least I could let my guard down by just a touch.

As I continued my journey down the path I could hear the sound of feet stampeding towards me, someone's coming!

I transform into my cyberwolf form and quickly take cover in the tall bushes beside me, slithering far enough so that the thick brush could keep me covered and prevent me from being seen by this mystery person that was running up the path.

"Mama?!"

Is that a child?

I furrowed my brows as I peer through the bushes to get a better view of the little girl.

She seems to be fairly shaken up. Her face flushed, as tears streamed down her cheeks. She was wearing pink tights and a baby pink floral dressed, her exposed arms had a few faint scratches; probably from her running through the bush.

She must be lost..where the hell is her mother? I watched with careful eyes as I watched her circle around, eyes darting everywhere in pure panic. I pinned my audio receptors back, a low growel rumbled within my chestplate. This could be a trap...

My optics scanned my surroundings. There were no signs of any human within our radius, and no engeron signals either...

A deep sigh escapes me as I wait for the little girl to run up the path a little more before I transform into my human self once again and slowly emerge from out of the bushes.
