×Chapter 10×

My scream faltered when the two gigantic robots fought in front of me.

My fingers clawed at the uneven ground. I had to get out of here! I had to find Nathan and Aneska!

I scrambled to my feet with wide eyes. I searched for my two missing friends, while yelping here and there when a huge robotic foot got close to me and stomped on the ground harshly.

"Hazel! Run to cover!" The black robot yelled, his blue eyes blazing as he fpight back his opponet.

How did it know my name?

Pushing that thought away; I sprinted for cover, for black hair to catch my attention in the corner of my eyesight. My heart stopped and I changed direction to the black flowing hair in the wind. Skidding to a stop I found Aneska... crying.

"Aneska!" I yelled over the sounds of gunfire and explosions. I kneeled down next to her, she looked at me with teary blue eyes. Blood covered her shirt and I knew something was wrong in a blink of an eye.

Opening her mouth to speak, I find that no words came out. Making worry fill my body. "Are you injured?" I demand in fear that she could be bleeding out.

Aneska shook her head in dismissal and pointed at a very injured body, that had been hit by debre from the buildings. My heart stopped knowing who that body belonged to; Nathan.

I ran to his body unsure on what to do. What can I do? Helplessness and guilt filled my small frame. If he dies; It will be all my fault.

The gunfire became louder and closer, the ground shook from the robotic beings more fiercly. It was like my world was ending all over again. Aneska's scream echoed my ears when a robotic hand -belonging to the red eyes robot- swiped at us three.

In seconds we were split apart once again from being hit by the robors claws. My head hit the ground hard from impact and before I knew it; Flashbacks were invading my brain, the world was spinning. Illusions created. People dying around me. Blood. Lots of blood and screaming easily heard.

"Hazel!" My name repeatably echoed in my ears, but I couldn't move...

Darkness hit my eyes.

~FlashBack~

My feet ran harshly against the concrete road. Everyone was going haywire, people screaming from one end of the city to the other.

'Run Hazel. run. Just keep running!' I thought to myself for encouragement even as I struggled to keep my panic attack down.

Even as I ran away from the horror scene I had just left behind. My feet started to ache and bleed, my shoes gaining holes at the bottom of them by running away from those red eyed monsters.

"Sam! Get to the building!" A robotic voice yelled over the gunfire, but I didn't dare look. I didn't dare risk it.

Whatever those beings were; they had killed some of my friends, the others I hadn't seen since. How could this happen? We were just celebrating my birthday at Starbucks!

I had to find my family! They had to be okay!

"Keep running Sam!" Another voice boomed over the gunfire. I screamed and covered my head when a silver robot jumped over me and attacked a Tank, changing its firing direction to an empty alleyway.

At that I run even faster even though how much my body protested it.

I run passed numerous of soldiers who tried to assist me, but I ignored them. My family was more important then my safety! I couldn't stop now.

Running down the familiar street, -even with everything wrecked-, I run to the house that I had called home since the day I was born, but instead of being greeted with the house I called home; I was greeted with a destroyed building.

Flames hungrily eating at anything it could get its grasp on. A red eyed robot fired continuously on my home with amusement.

Suddenly I flew back into the air from the strength of the continuous explosions. The waves of gravity coming off the explosion too strong to stand in.

I swear I heard the cries of my siblings yelling my name while I hit Earths surface once again.

Head hitting the concrete ground. Screams. So many screams...blood.

I looked up for a pair of hands to grip onto my arms and I knew straight away it was soldier by the glimpses of uniform.

I squirmed and yelled furiously, at one moment i had tried to bite him, but he dragged me away from the scenery through my many protests.

"My family! Please! I have siblings in there. I heard them, They are alive!" I screamed ou in denial that they were gone. They couldn't be, but even in denial my tears filled my eyes easily.

The soldier continued to drag me away from the danger. "They are gone kid. Nothing could escape an explosion like that."

From that day on. I was truly broken.

~ End of Flashback~

"Hazel..."

My name being called laced with worry and fear made my heart clench. I started to stirr to concious.

"She's waking up!" A young girls squeal released into the room, before being hushed by several people to keep her voice down.

Groaning my brown eyes slowly open, before wincing at the brightness. I hissed slightly and failed to cover my eyes from the brightness because it hurt to move.

"Hazel?" Will's familiar voice spoke up, worry in his voice followed by reluctance. As if scared.

"Yeah?" I reply with a groan, my voice sounding awful and wrecked. I now kept my eyes closed, in defeat from the brightness.

"Do you remember what-", I cut him off almost instantly. Of course I remember- Aneska and Nathan!

"Where are they!" I stammered out in panic, my eyes snapped open and I jolted upwards. In seconds I was being gently, but forcefully, pushed back down by the same Doctor from before; Ratchet.

"Aneska and Nathan are fine. Nathan has two cracked ribs and a couple of scratches, but he will survive. Aneska was luckily not injured." I slowly nodded at that information, happy to know they were okay.

"What were you thinking!" Will yelled out in rage, now ready to start lecturing after he figured out I would be okay.

I glared at William
while he continued "Stealing Ironhide-"

I cut him off "Ironhide? is that what its-"

"He." Ron now cut me off angrily.

"Oh so you know too! Of course you do!" I snap at Ron just as angered. How dare they keep such a secret from me?
Especially since Ron had a general idea on how much those-those things affected my life!

"So why do you have his name as your code-name!" I growled out the demand furiously in confusion and anger, before freezing in realization.

Sarah took this chance to escort Annabelle out of the room, knowing it was best. We all became quiet, me and Ron were still glaring at one another.

"You are one of them aren't you" I asked Ron bluntly, just wanting a truthful answer out of him for once.

Ron swallowed and nodded slowly in hesitation to confirm my fears. I soon looked at Ratchet who watched from the sidelines with a look of resentment. "-and you? Are you one?'

"If you are counting me as an Cybertronian" Ratchet paused, considering the best choice. "Then...yes."

Running a hand through my hair with much stress, I go to get off the hospital bed. Not being able to handle all of this, it was too much. Everything was hurting and I just couldn't handle this informstion.

I was adopted, just to discover half the people I have met are alien robots in disguise as humans and vehicles.

"I need to get out of here" I mumble, holding back the fear running through my veins, but Ratchet stopped me instantly. This made my body tense up automatically.

"You are not in good enough health to be walking around a Military Base." Ratchet scolded gently, his eyes hard and leaving no room for argument.

My jaw dropped in disbelief, but not at the scolding. I thought we were in a hospital! "Excuse me? A military base!?"

"Yes. Optimus Prime, our leader, has been wanting to speak to you in person for a while."
