Deja Vu

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

My eyes were puffy. I know they were. I could feel them. I kept getting weird looks from people as I walked down the streets of Paris. I heard a lot of things exit from their mouths as I went by.

'Was she crying?'

'Is she okay?'

'What's wrong with her?'

I didn't care. All I want was my parens back and Cemetery Wind to be taken out. But I couldn't do it by myself. Which is why I'm looking. Searching for any signs of the transformers. An Autobot, to be specific. But that was put on hold when my stomach started to growl. I sighed, looking around for a place to eat. I didn't have any money so I couldn't get anything to eat.

"Great. Now what am I going to do?" I said to myself as I searched. Then, one thing came to mind that I've never done before, but I had no choice.

"Shoplift."

Yep, I've heard of it. And as much as I am a good kid and I've never stolen anything in my life, I need to eat and I'm pretty sure these townsfolk won't spend their money on a girl they don't know. They're not really friendly these days.

I had approached a convenience store and looked inside to see rows and rows of snacks. Likely, I found a backpack on the way here and decided to stuff snacks in there without being noticed. When I walked in, I immediately went to the chip aisle. The backpack was like those backpacks hikers use when they go hiking, so there was a lot of stuff that could fit in there.

I grabbed at least a dozen potato chip bags, a lot of candy bags (swedish fish, starbursts, sour patch kids, etc.), and I almost got caught putting 6 1-Liter Brisks in the bag.

After that, I made my way to the door. But I guess the store clerk noticed my big bag compared to earlier because then he started yelling for me to come back. But it was too late, I was already out the door and down the street.

I ran for about 4 blocks before I came to a stop. I grabbed my inhaler that I surprisingly had in my boot and took a couple of pumps before I took a deep breath. I walked a little bit, kicking at the rocks before I came to a stop.

"...Autobots."

I stopped down in my tracks. Did I just hear that? I turned around, hoping I wasn't imagining anything before I turned back around.

"Calling..all..Autobots."

Okay, I definitely heard that. I heard it from one of these garages. I heard a small static. I followed it towards a large garage; about three times my height. I slowly opened the small door, leading inside and saw something familiar.

I saw the same brown truck that drove by when I was at the lake. It like deja vu all over again. Spark were flying from out of it's transmission and I saw bullet holes all over it.

Where the heck has this truck been through?!

As I approached, I heard it again. This time it was loud and clear.

"Calling all Autobots."

I gasped as I backed away from it. This was a transformer. I know it was. What other truck, or vehicle for that matter, speak about the Autobots? None, that's what!

My body was telling run and go. Get out of there so you won't end up like your parents. But my mind was telling me different. It was telling to check it out. If it said anything about the Autobots, maybe it IS and Autobot.

But it could be a Decepticon?

My mind was racing of different scenarios but right now. I had to decide. Wow, I sound like my mom right now.

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of metal shifting. I looked up and saw that the truck had transformed into a transformer. A big one.

"I'd kill you! Stay back!" It shouted as it went it's large blaster on it's back. I fell over and landed on my butt. I hissed in pain as I looked down at my leg and saw a large piece of glass had scraped across my bare leg.

"Don't shoot! Please!" I shouted back as I held my hands up.

"You..are a child?" It asked as I nodded, continuing to keep my hands raised as it slowly lowered its gun. "My apologies, little one. I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots."

My eyes went wide when he said that. Not only did I find an Autobot, but I found the LEADER of the Autobots at that. This day just gets better and better! No sarcasm there!
