《(Old) The Time of Night is Midnight》Chapter 6
Advertisement
Ratchet finally lets me go from his Med. Bay after arguing with him for about an hour. He didn't want me to leave so he could make sure my wound would heal correctly this time. He is almost worst as an old friend of mine with his stubbornness.
Instead of staying at the overpopulated base with their highly deadly odors (they need to take a shower at least every three days and they don't do that), the forest became my sight of wonders. Though I'm not exploring but lying down on a comfortable branch of an oak that is within the boundaries of my play pen.
The wind was calm with a slight breeze to blow any new smells or some out of reach of my nose. A leaf fell down on my face, it tickled my nose, and next moment a huge sneeze came out of nowhere. It shook my entire body and caused me to fall from my branch.
Gladly there weren't any other branches for me to hit. My face was the first thing to hit the ground and my body hit next with less velocity than my body. Groaning in pain from the fall off the branch, I lean back and get on my hunches. Another powerful sneeze could be felt coming and I prepare myself for it.
Three more sneezes showed up after the first one. "I hate sneezing," I grumbled to myself. Using my wings to give me a quick lift to the same branch again, I reach out to the branch and hauled my body onto it. My wings furl back to place so they wouldn't be caught on a branch.
Laughing to myself quietly from the newly made memory of me falling off, I lay down my stomach and rest my head on my crossed hands. It was true, why do we need to sneeze? Can't we drown on the pollen or the stuff that gets stuck in our nose and lungs?
My rest on the tree branch began to get boring and the noises in the forest were starting to annoy me after awhile. Lifting my body off the branch and stretching out my limbs, except my wings, damn trees need to move out the way. I jump down and land kind of hard on my feet before strolling through the lovely forest of Colville.
While taking a stroll through the forest for awhile, most likely missing my check in with William, I came across a small lake. In some spots around the lake there were cattails sticking out of the water and water lilies in other spots.
An idea hit me and I followed through with the idea. Controlling the water to freeze as path in front of me so my feet could be able to step on it, I place my clawed foot on the ice. It didn't break and I take it as a good before skating on the ice.
Going to the middle of the lake, I make the ice spread out to the edge of the lake. With the ice now covering the entire lake, I start to have my fun by skating on top of the ice. I'm not the best but it was for fun and a time consuming sport.
My eyes caught the sight of two blurs that are tall and huge by the color red and yellow. It distracted me from my concentration of keeping my footing and I tripped over my feet. Glancing up to see what was there, Sideswipe and Sunshine who I need to figure out his name are standing at the edge of the lake. Sideswipe held an expression of whether he wants to laugh at my misfortune or come and help me. His brother held an expression of annoyance and disgust.

Shaking my head to get rid of the slight headache growing from me hitting my head, I gently stand up so my feet don't slip. A growl is released from my throat from them scaring me and making me mess up.
"Midnight, are you okay?" Sideswipe questioned from the sidelines. Facing him fully with an annoyed expression, I answer his with a 'yes'.
"What happened? Why did you fall?" He questioned with concern. Did he really just ask that? He is an advance alien robot; he should be able to answer him that himself. Rolling my eyes at him, I take off in the air and melt the ice so my presences couldn't be found here. Not wanting to talk to him or his grumpy brother, I fly in the direction of the base. Hopefully he is smart enough not to follow me.
He is dumber then a brick, he decided to follow me and call out to me.
"Wait! We jus-," a clang of metal hitting metal interrupted his sentence. "Sunny! Why-OW!" Another clang rang out and a small smirk appeared on my face.
"Don't call me that!" Sunshine or not-wanting-to-be-called Sunny growled to Sideswipe. Sideswipe was rubbing his head from Sunshine hitting him over the head and giving Sunshine a glare that was empty.
Sideswipe changed his gaze back to me and put a smile on his lips. He jabs his thumb behind him where his brother is standing. "That's my ever-so-loving twin, Sunstreaker or you can call him Sunny and I'm the wonderful Sideswipe but you can call me Sides. We," Sunstreaker interrupt his twin by saying 'you', "just wanted to see what you're up to. Lennox is going all over, looking for you. And you aren't in the barrier." Did he come out here to tell me what I'm doing wrong?
"Does it look like I care? Now shoo, I don't need little insects following me," I hissed and turned around to fly away. It is probably a smart idea to go and check in with William before he has a cow. It slipped out of my mind to go and do the check in with him. When you are resting and doing nothing and don't have a good memory, you forgets something's.
"We're bored with nothing to do. Prowler sent us out here to find you and take you back. You don't want to mess with Prowler or you're going to get put in the brig. I should know, Sunny and I," another clang and a 'don't call me that' from Sunstreaker to his twin, "have been on the bad side of him," he explained.
"Let's get going human," Sunstreaker harshly ordered. He acted like he was forced out here; you are never forced to do something. He turned around without another word and began to move swiftly and carefully through the forest. Sideswipe gave me apologetic look and waved at me to follow him. Giving up on making them go away, I listen to Sunstreaker and begin to follow them possible back to the road. They can't necessarily drive on the forest floor and trees blocking their path too.
Finally after a long jaunt through the forest—I had to land because the trees were too close to each other, even though they the giant alien robots could get through—we came upon a asphalt road. The two gracefully transform (it's more fitting then shifting or shapeshifting) into the most beautiful Lamborghini's in the world and my mouth dropped all the way to the floor at how magnificent their car forms looked.

Lamborghini are now my most favorite car now. Like how can you not like them.
"Sweetspark, are you okay?" Sideswipe called out to me still in car form and snapped me out of my shocked faze.
Shaking my head to get my mind back into the real world, I answer him with awe and amazement laced in my voice. "You guys transform into Lamborghini's. Don't you think I wouldn't be staring." His engine made a noise that sounded like a laugh before opening his passenger butterfly door.
His sudden action scared me and I jump back, ready to attack anything that moved. The two stayed the stillest they could for a few moments before Sideswipe transformed back into his robot form. He puts his hands up to show he is disarmed and not going to hurt me.
"Hey, calm down calm down," he softly applied while speaking rushing through his words, "you're fine. I'm not going to hurt you in any way, I promise." Doing as he says, I take in a couple of deep breaths the calm myself down. He smiled gently and slowly transforms back into his Lamborghini; it takes all my self-control for me not to drool all over his car form again.
He carefully opens his passenger butterfly door for me to hop in. No way am I going to get inside of him. Fuck, that sounded wrong on so many levels. Let me rephrase that. No way am I going to get inside of his car form.
"Come on, let's get going," Sideswipe urged. Shaking my head to silently tell him no, I fly into the air and hover multiple feet above them. He silently closes his door and takes off quickly with his twin in tow. Not allowing them to get far ahead, I speed after them and easily kept up with my astonishing twenty-two feet wingspan.
Whenever a car would get in sight of my vision, I would veer off to the side where the trees could still hide from sight. Then after the car would pass by, go back to my original spot above them.
We came along the first guard station at the beginning of the long dirty road up to the base. It was for safety precautions and there are two chain link fences that are both electrified with rolled barbwire on the top. The second fence is also fifty feet from the inner fence. It surprised me no one has gotten curious and tried to see what's within the fences.
The guard gave one glance to the twins and opened the fence; he didn't even look up to see me. Which is probably good as he most likely doesn't know who I am; it's for the best that it stays that way.
The two take it slow from the pot holes and the light dirt that has yet to be packed down.
They finally pulled up to the other chain link fence gate. The guard gives them one glance and opens the gate for them. The two speed right through and to the left where the main hanger is.
From my spot in the air, I could see William on the catwalk with his buddy Robert Epps, talking with each other. My eyes also caught the sight of a white bandage on his left arm. They were facing each other with Williams back to us and when Robert pointed behind him, William turned around to face us. His confused expression changed to a glare and it was pointed strait at me.
Williams glare didn't faze me one bit as we got close and I held a blank expression in reaction. He is a mere human who couldn't hurt me one bit but sure acted like he was part of the big dogs.
"Where in the hell have you been?" William grounded out with anger filling his voice. Rolling my eyes at his antics, I gaze down at my nails and pick at an imaginary spot on one of my nails. I was trying to see if I could piss him off; it would be funny to see.
"Oh you know, here and there," I nonchalantly threw out there. His glare deepened and he crossed his arms over his chest to act all tough. Robert was holding in a laugh and covered it with a couple of coughs.
"Oh you know I could lock you in the brig," he threatened. That instantly caught my attention and I perked up with a glare to fight his own. A smirk grew on his face and he shifted his footing.
"You wouldn't be able to, I would rip your body from limb from limb before you could," I growled deeply and darkened my glare towards. His eyes widen in shock and mostly fear and he took a step back from the fear. This time a smirk graced my lips.
"Okay princesses, your boobies are both small. Both of you need to stop it," Robert intervenes to the luck of William and turns to me, "don't listen to him. He was just worried abou-." I interrupted him this time.
"About me telling your big secret. It's not my secret to tell and mines not yours to tell," I argued. It's true, he has dirt on me and I have dirt on him. Also remembering about the bear teeth still my bra pocket, I take both of them out and throw them to him. He gladly catches them and gives me a confused look. Robert opens his mouth to speak but Sideswipes beats him to it.
"We didn't bring her here to chit-chat. So since you've seen her, we'll be taking our leave," Sideswipe announced to everyone in the hanger. Glancing over to Sideswipe, I give him a look of appreciation and follow the both of them to a new hanger that I have yet to be in.
Before going inside the unknown area, I stop in front of the large hanger door. "Sideswipe, what is this place?" I questioned while peering into the large hanger. A silver bot sat on an arm chair his size; a blue visor covered his eyes from view so I couldn't read many emotions from him.
The T.V is on, playing a T.V show or movie for the bots entertainment. A three and maybe four bot sized couch was pressed against the middle of the wall to the left of the entrance with a metal coffee table the length of the couch in front of it. The large T.V sat on top of a stand also made of metal against the wall to the right of the entrance. There was a loveseat on the right side of couch, closest to the hanger door, at a ninety degree angle with the couch. The arm chair that Blue Mystery, the silver bot, was in the left corner of the hanger and at an angle, not snug in the corner.
"Hey, Jazz. Could we show Midnight a couple of games?" Sideswipe questioned the newly named bot Jazz. Blue Mystery is no longer a mystery for his name but emotions are still needed to be figured out. Jazz changes his direction of his head to look at the two in front of me (I haven't still gone inside because the door could lock behind me and leave me trapped inside).
"Sure, ah wanna meet the oh-so-cutie ah've been 'earing abou'," Jazz spoke with a heavy accent. And did he call me a cutie? Hissing under my breath, I huff out of annoyance and cross my arms over my chest.
Sideswipe turned around and notices I haven't entered the hanger yet. He waves me in, "Night come on in. Jazz isn't going to hurt you; he's all bark, no bite."
"Don't call me Night, my name is Midnight. Not this bullshit Night nickname," I growled lowly. Bull's-eye gives me a hurt expression and glances over to Jazz.
"Don't you call secretly call anyone by a made-up nickname?" Sideswipe throws back. I look to the left and quick think of all the nicknames I have given to other since they didn't give theirs yet.
"Well yeah, I didn't know their name yet, "Sideswipe gives me a hopeful look and I could tell what he wanted. Not wanting to make him sad again (he was too cute to do that to), "for you, you were called Bull's-eye because you are red. Your twin was called Sunshine," I got a growl from him in response.
"Optimus was called Boss Bot. Ironhide was called Trigger Happy, I don't need to explain that one. Jazz was called Blue Mystery because of his visor and I can't really tell what his emotions are. William was called Mister Hissy Bossy Human, which doesn't need to be explained to."Sideswipe gave me an amused expression from the nicknames I have given to the beings I have met so far.
"Anyway, please come on in," Bull's-eye pleads with his bottom lip sticking out. Giving him a weary look and showing the discomfort of entering the hanger, I let my wings carry me a few feet into the room until my body wouldn't go any further. I still was about a good ten feet away from them.
It must have been enough for Bull's-eye began the introductions. "Midnight this is Jazz the S.I.C of the Autobots, Jazz this is Midnight the fiercest human ever. She even stood up against Ironhide from what I have heard." He should have never messed with me, I'm the most dangerous human not known to human existence.
Jazz nods his head as a greeting, "Nice ta meet ya." Returning the gesture and the greetings, Sideswipe walks over to the T.V and messes with a few wires. The game Mario Kart deluxe appears on the screen with a cheery music to accompany it.
"Do you want to play?" Sideswipe questions while grabbing a controller for him and his twin. Sunstreaker has been quiet this entire time we've been talking to each other, impressive. An old friend of mine would have been talking your off and some more after that.
Shaking my head to answer his question, I stay close to the door just in case. I could still see the T.V and watch the twins play the game of Mario Kart. I also decided to land because it looked like this was going to take some time
After awhile of watching them play, my ears caught the sound of someone close to entering the hanger. Freaking out and thinking they are going to close off my only exit in here, I sprint out of the hanger and almost running into a pair of bot's.
They are the first to attack. They both transform their hands to guns and begun to shoot towards me. Acting on pure instinct, I let my body shapeshift into a White Rhino and charged strait towards the nearest one, it was the bright green one.
Idiot one didn't have enough time to react at my sudden act and was plowed through by me. My arm was emitting all kinds of pain and it didn't help with me putting five thousand pounds on it. Also shapeshifting made the cast fall off from my body expanding.
Digging my long, sharp horn under his armor, I toss him like a rag doll to the side. This gives me an opening for escaping the dangerous situation and I take it. Shifting my body back to my normal form, my wings catch the oncoming wind from my running. They take me high in the sky and help get away to safety.
