If I Went Somewhere Else

Yellow Gem| AVP: Requiem (AU) Part 1.

"Eclipse?! What are you doing here?! You were supposed to stay with your family!" I exclaimed.

The dragons ears lowered as I raised my voice, but when I saw this I immediately felt bad. I sighed and kneeled down to pet him.

"Sorry, I'm just surprised to see you here. You were supposed to stay with your family, it was to protect you."

Eclipse rawred in a way that to me sounded like "I'm sorry". Well now I can't get him home. The portal closed behind us and I don't know how to open it again, he's stuck with us. I heard Fugi sigh as he then looked around at the empty city, town, wherever we are. Suddenly a terrible smell hit my nose, I gagged at the whiff of it and covered my mouth.

"Dear God what is that STENCH??" My voice was muffled by my hand.

"I don't know, but I believe it's coming from this way." Fugi pointed to an alleyway.

From said alleyway, we heard a pained groan. Eclipse chirped and went prancing towards the alley.

I felt imaginary needles poking at my heart.

The Night Light pranced towards the alleyway as Sky and Fugi followed, they peer into the alley to see a bleeding man with several fatal injuries in his torso. The young girl gasped and ran to the dying man's side almost immediately, kneeling down to check his pulse. Eclipse stared at the injured man with large eyes as Fugi approached Sky, the little dragon fearfully stepping closer.

"Sir, what happened? We need to get you to a hospital right now, do you know where one is?" Sky asked, her voice very calm and concerned.

The man's pale blue eyes slowly looked to the human, most of the life he once possessed was gone.

"A hospital...wouldn't be able...to save me..." the man coughed up blood, "I'm good as dead...heh..."

Sky looked as if she were going to cry, but she took a deep breath.

"Don't talk like that mister, I'm sure there's something they can do to help." She assured.

The man weakly grabbed her arm, "It's too late..."

Fugi then growled, "Ooman, step away from him. Something is wrong with him, very wrong."

"No shit, he's dying." She said sarcastically.

"Not THAT, I feel something is off. Don't you as well?" The alien asks.

"Of course I do, but his words are genuine." Sky answered.

The man coughed up more blood onto his already bloodstained shirt, taking the girls hand gently.

"Can you...grant me one last request..?" He asked hoarsely.

"Certainly, what is it?" She asks.

The man faintly smiled, "Get whatever comes out of me..."

The dying man sputtered and coughed, leaning back against the alley wall as he went limp. Sky appeared saddened but rather confused at his last request, she glanced to Fugi with a raised brow.

"What the hell did that mean?" She asked.

The imprisoned Autobots thought the very same at the males last dying breath, until what happened next. The man's corpse then moved, startling the human and small dragon. Eclipse hid behind Fugi as Sky jumped to her feet, their attention on the dead body. The cadaver then moved again, but this time more violently. This wasn't the man's doing, it was something else. The Yautja then pulled the young girl back as he knew exactly what was happening, growling angrily as the man's body moving.
