"Get them"

Behind me was a cliff.

Looking harder at the steep, rocky wall I came close to falling off of. Crystal waves crashed smoothly against the edges, retreating back before softly colliding with the wall again. The sound of the liquid against the rock reassured my worries of falling off. Turning myself around in Optimus' embrace, my concerns vanishing completely.

"We're here!", I smiled as I found the whites of sand that coated the shore. Optimus' arms unfolded, a frown tightening his lips as he looked at me worriedly.

" 'ya almost fell off a cliff, and 'dat's 'wat 'ya say?" Jazz voice rang in my ears, boss bot nodding his head in agreement.

"You're wearing speedos, and that's what you say?", I mimicked his voice. Looking down at my twin brothers with a devilish smirk.

" you thinking what I'm thinking, sis?" They had spoken in sync. Pretending to rub my neck in thought, satisfied once I heard there small fit of giggles.

"Mmm, I don't know", I laughed.

" I have a bad feeling about this..." Optimus grumbled sending a cautious glare in my direction.

My brothers and I snorted in amusement, grabbing their chubby hands, before jumping off the cliff free willingly.

Adrenaline pulsed through my veins, heart throbbing in excitement. Never once did I let go of my brother's hands. In no time, our body we're engulfed underwater. I continued to sink farther, getting the lost in the texture of the liquid. Reflecting the hold I had on Jay and Jacks hands in case they ran out of air. It has been forever since I have been to a place like this

Sun rays shone through the water, air bubbles evacuating at the corners of my mouth into my blurred vision.

It was only when I heard a muffled yell I realised I had become to enhanced by the water.

As I was beginning to kick to the surface, I was rudely stopped by a swarm of bubbles. Startled, I Swam back.

The worried face of Optimus could be made as the air bubbles continued to fade.

Upon seeing me, relief drowned his features, shaking my helm, I swam to the surface to get more air only to realise the others followed my brothers and I footsteps.

"Tav!! You could have died!" Jazz exclaimed.

"I'm fine, jazz" I rolled my yellow orbs.

"Na-a don't ya' give meh dat' scra-

" the sparkling was fine", Ironhide cut Jazz off, smirking at me when I stuck my tongue out.

"Very mature" he mused. I simply shrugged my shoulders and flipped him the bird.

"Octavia!" Optimus said although I knew he was amused. After our 'sparkling bicker' as Optimus put it. I noticed jazz' Optics stuck on bumblebees holoform figure. Swimming over, I poked him on the shoulder, watching as he snapped out of his gaze. His cheeks a blazing mess.

"So... You and Bee huh?"

"W-wat' Nah- uh, w-w" he stuttered before coughing a few times.

"Hey, Jazz, it's alright. I'm your best friend, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but always feel free to vent if needed, yeah?" I asked.

"Especially all the goss' about the people you like." Sending a wink his way, I didn't let him answer as I dove back under the water and let my mind wander. Enchanted by the multi-coloured corals that stuck to the sand at the bottom. Stifling a giggle as I saw an octopus turn one with the sand. I never would have thought that I would be swimming. Actually swimming, one year ago I would have never even thought that I would be in this position. A position where I'm surrounded by family. Real family. And most of all, happiness.

But little did Octavia know, that she spoke way, too soon.

"Are we in position?" A males voice growled in breathless wheezes.
The room illuminating in red as the bot before him nodded.

"Good." The figure crackled, flashing his twisted yellow teeth, twirling around, holding a wrinkled hand to his left ear. "Get them" he commanded.

If he would have turned around, the hooded figure wouldn't miss the saddened horror planted across the metal bots face.
