Change of Law and Heart

Chapter 24: Injury and Affection

Someone was shaking me out of my sleep. "Brey, get up! We need to go now!" Sides urgently said. I sat up immediately and kicked whoever was the closest to me in reaction. The yellow twin was the closest and received the bottom of my foot to his lower abdomen.

The holoform lurched backwards from the force and groaned painfully. I scrambled off the bed the next second, guilt swelling inside of me. "I am so sorry!" I apologized and leaned down to his bent over level. He waved me off and straightened his posture.

Sides grabbed my wrist and started to drag me out of my room. Confusion flooded my brain on why he was acting this way. At first, my mind thought to pull away and demand what he was doing but something told me to trust them. I allowed the red twin to continue to drag me out of the house and towards their alt. modes.

His brother was trailing behind us. On the way out, he called for the dogs and they came to his calling, also following us to their alt. modes. What in the hell was going on?

I was sat in the passenger side of the yellow Lamborghini by the red twin. He dissolved in a shimmering fall of sparkles and gunned his engine in a quick start. Sunstreaker got the dogs into his brother alt. mode before following suit of disappearing.

The bot I was with peeled out of the gravel drive, ignoring the rocks most likely pelting his undercarriage. I finally noticed the tail lights of a familiar black GMC truck turning onto the main road and that it was pitch black outside. It was the middle of the night and these two were dragging me out of my house without telling me what was going on.

With the unknown and crazy situation happening, there was no way I was going to be able to sleep until they explain to me. "Sunstreaker-" a yawn escaped my lips-" what's going on? Where are you taking me?" I question tiredly.

For a few moments, the frontliner didn't speak a sound. The only noise in his cab was his engine and tires gripping the cold asphalt. "Cons have attacked a nearby energon mine. We didn't want to leave you behind with no protection so we're taking you to the base for your safety," he explained.

It sounded like an okay reason to wake me up at... I glanced at the clock on his dashboard. Two A.M! Now that peeved me off a little, I have work in the morning and they are deciding to drag me to the base this early in the morning.

They care for me though. That's what happens when someone cares for you, they will do everything in their power to protect you from danger.

The leather seat under me warmed up. I groaned thankfully and leaned against the warming seat, savoring the heat. "You can recharge if you would like."

"I won't be able too." Even though he did answer my question, all this movement will prevent me from falling back to asleep. "Thanks for caring for me, though. It means a lot to me."

"We care for you more then I would like to but you're an acceptable human to be around, I guess." I'm placing my bet that's the best complement I'm going to get out of him.

"Aww, so cute. Told you she wasn't as bad as you thought." And Sides had to ruin the lovely moment with that comment. Eh, I still like the both of them anyhow.

Within a good twenty minutes of fast driving, the five of us, including the dogs, made it to the base. Instead of dropping me off right then and there to join the group of preparing soldiers, they continued to drive towards the back part of the base. Where were they taking me?

Sunstreaker stopped in front of a large hangar, not even a fraction of the size of the main hangar. The passenger side door folded upwards smoothly and allowed me to exit the beautiful vehicle.
