Sunstreaker's vengeance ✔️ (book 1)

47. chased

I sat behind Sideswipe's steering wheel. Holding it loosely even though he's driving and not me. I felt the seat belt tightening a little around me. "Are you okay?" he asked. "Yeah... Well, just figured out my mother wanted to sell me, she used Megatron and she used me," I said. "You don't need her, you have the Autobots," Simmons next to me nonchalantly said. I glanced briefly at him "I know... but still, I hate the feeling, especially now Sunstreaker hates me as well. "He doesn't mean what he's saying, please ignore him," Sideswipe said a bit strictly. "Maybe he's right, maybe I am a monster," I said. "No, you're not!" Both Simmons and Sideswipe said in sync. "anyways, we need to warn the other Autobots... we need to make a call," I said. "As soon as you call, the Decepticons will know where you are, Soundwave is listening," Sideswipe said.

"I know, that's why Simmons will call," I said, looking next to me. "Me?! Why me?" he asked. "Because... they recognize Sideswipe's voice, Sunstreaker's voice, and Bumblebee is mute..." I said. "Fine!" he sighed, shaking his head a little. We drove into a small Egypt town, houses built out of sandstone. "It's pretty hot," Sideswipe said, his cooling vents kicked in. "Desert huh," I sighed, watching Simmons hop out. "Do you have Lennox's number?" I asked. "Of course, I have met him," he grunted, hopping out. Sunstreaker and Bumblebee spread, to keep an eye on the environment.

Sideswipe's holoform fizzled in "Were you serious about killing yourself?" he asked. "I have no choice, I mean... it's me they want!" I said. "You wouldn't leave me behind," he said, grabbing my hand. "Right?" he asked, looking at me with his beautiful ocean blue eyes. "Sunstreaker is just a jerk right now," he said, kissing my cheek. "I love you... I'd be broken if I would lose you," he said, flashing me a weak smile. I softly pressed my forehead against his "You mean everything for me... I love you too," I said. Sideswipe wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me on his lap in a straddling position.

"Nothing will happen to you. We just take out that weapon so they can't use it anymore," he said. "Do you really think they will let us get near the machine? What if we can't destroy it? What if it's an ambush, what if this is what they want us to do?" I asked. "Don't be negative, Simmons is contacting N.E.S.T, they will be here the next morning," he said. "In the meantime, we keep traveling," he stated. I leaned in his chest, nuzzling in his neck. "I am sorry I lied to you..." I whispered. "You didn't lie, I understand you're afraid... I mean you have all the reason to feel that way," he said. "Do you think he will accept it? Or do you think he really hates me?" I asked. "We are bonded with you... so he must accept it and between you and me, Sunstreaker is maybe an iceman, but deep down he does have a soft spot for you," he said. I gave a smile and nodded. "He's just being a selfish jerk right now..."

"Perhaps... I forgave him for what he did to me, I mean... if you look at all the things he did, my secret is nothing in comparison with what he did," I said quietly. I felt his drawing some circles on my back. "I know... like I said, selfish brat." We both jolted up when Simmons opened the door. "Move!" he said. Sideswipe's holoform disappeared and I climbed back in the driver's seat. "Move!" Simmons ordered. "The police are on our heels!" he hissed. I kicked on Sideswipe's gas pedal. "You don't have to kick me..." I heard him grumble. "Sorry..." I grumbled.

"So, what did my uncle say?" I asked. "Well... he was a bit surprised, but he's on his way to Egypt... we on the other hand have our own problems. The Autobots know you're Megatron's daughter! He told it over the news... so, everyone knows," he added. "Great... that's great," I said, rubbing my face. "It's not our concern now!" Sideswipe stated, speeding up drastically. I looked in the rear mirror, seeing a bunch of police cars chasing us. "What's the plan?" I asked him when we left town. "I don't know..." Sideswipe was cut off by a huge explosion, the police cars had exploded out of nowhere, sending pieces of metal and tires into the air. Out of the thick smoke and fire, the yellow Lamborghini raced towards us, passing us, and took the lead.
