A creature from the other side, is the monster to another

Breeze slinger lay across the couch on her side, staring at the tv in front of her. She had her free arm laying on a young Bluewheel and Patchspark, curled up against her abdomen. It was almost midnight, in 10 kliks or so. The tv was blaring light in Breeze's faceplates, but only low noises came from it. She had turned the volume low since her kids have fallen asleep. Bluewheel was in a odd position, her legs spread apart, one off the couch and the other over brother's legs, arms spread open, and mouth open drooling.

Patch was curled on his side around his little sister, his arms around her like a hug. Breeze couldn't help, but smile seeing her children in their positions, completely forgetting about the new spark in her.

She's been pregnant for about 3 orbital-cycles now. Her new born has been perfectly healthy and she couldn't be more proud of how far she'd come to now having a third sparkling. She still remembered the shock and enthusiasm from her sparkmate, Greenstrip. Though he has been busy with night patrols since the war started, he still managed to play with the two kids he had now. She had to try hard not to burst out laughing from the memory of him and the two sparklings and their play fights. They were always hilarious.

Though Greenstrip was keeping the town safe, everyone had to keep an optic out every night. Since the war, the cons had sent this creature to the area they lived in. It didn't everyone, only pregnant femmes or little kids. Meaning Breeze and the kids targets. Though, residents in the area had to wear this modified energon bracelets to keep it away, Breeze didn't like wearing them. The medics said that the bracelets caused pregnant femmes feeling extra sick, and she didn't want to feel any worse.

Breeze had started dozing off with one more kilk to midnight. Her worries immediately went away as she started to go into recharge. Just then, right at midnight, a emergency brood cast went up. But Breeze was to tired to do anything as a femme voice sounded from the tv.

"It's currently midnight, so here's your announcement. Be aware and thoughtful of the creature tonight. There has already been two deaths in the last mega-cycle. Now the creature doesn't seem to attack everyone. It seems to online target expecting femmes and young children. Now remember to wear your bracelets, lock all doors and windows, and pray that the creature doesn't come."

She didn't even finish her last two questions when Breeze heard a loud thud from outside and a loud, audio piercing screech outside. She quickly bolted up right at the sound and started to hyperventilate. She grabbed her children and wrapped her arms around them, surprisingly they didn't wake up. She grabbed three bracelets from her subspace and put one on each of them. She then quickly pinged her brother, EMP. He had told her if this happened was to call him and wait.

As she waited for her brother to come, she noticed that she got a ping from Greenstrip. It asked if she and kids were okay. She would have pinged back, but had started feeling sick again. She started gagging, but she hold it in. She couldn't leave her kids alone. She lifted the arm with her bracelet on it. Should she? Breeze could handle herself . And she could herself and the kids without it.

Taking a chance, Breeze took off her bracelet and put it on It on Patch's and Blue's laps. Slowly getting up without disturbing the two, she walked to her assault rifle and armed it. She stopped fighting when she became a mom and, rare occasions, go on small missions when she can get someone to watch over the two.

As she ready the rifle, she heard the same screech from before outside and it sounded closer. She aimed the gun towards the main door, eyeing at it. When the door slide open, she fired the gun but missing.

"Woah sis!! It's me EMP!!" The voice of a young mech called from the door. His hands were up in a tense posture.

Breeze exhaled. Only her brother, but she knew the creature was probably still out there. Turning to her kids still on the couch, the tsm were still asleep. 'Just like their father.' She thought to herself.

EMP walked over to her. "Hey, I lined the outside of the house in energon and-" his voice was getting louder to the point Breeze placed her hand on his mouth.

She gave him a big stern look. Though she was older, her brother was only a inch taller than her. "You'll wake up the kids!" She told him a quietly she could. She was still tense from the whole situation.

EMP moves back with a sheepish smile. "Sorry sister." He whispered back. "Guess I'm a little nervous from almost getting shot in the face by my family." His expression soften when he noticed how tense his sister was. "I'll take the kids to my spare room." He sometimes stay over at Breeze's house due to attachment issues. As he walked passed her to pick the kids up, he noticed her bracelet on their laps. "Sis, why is your bracelet off?" He looked at her with a look of 'are you seriously?'.

Breeze rubbed her upper arm. "You know I hate those. They make me sick and everything. Just waiting for you, I almost threw up five times. Besides...I wanted to protect them." She said the last part quietly.

EMP picked up the kids and walked up to his sister. He took her hand and placed the bracelet in her hand. "Just make sure you protect yourself." He said as he clanked his helmet to her's. Something the two did as kids.

Breeze couldn't stop the smile forming on her face. She gently patted his shoulder and chuckled. "Don't worry. I won't let you down."

EMP chuckled back and started heading to his room. He took one final glance to Breeze and left.

Breeze sighed in relief. She loves her brother and everything. But sometimes, he's just to over protective. She plopped back first onto the couch putting her bracelet on her chest. She exhaled a long breath and relaxed. She sent a ping to Greenstrip, responding that she was busy keeping the kids safe and EMP came over. She relaxed and falling into recharge in peace.

But her optics shot right open when she heard a loud thud from the other end of the couch. She slowly looked towards the end of the couch. Her energon and joints immediately went frozen.

Breeze was staring into the hollowness eyes of a skinny creature. It had extremely long limbs, with black eyes with white spots. Staring straight at her. It had long talon feet and a skeleton like torso.

Breeze tried to move, but she couldn't move. She was terrified, she was frozen. She couldn't even muster a call of for help. 'EMP where are you?' She thought to herself. The one time she really needed him.

The creature started moving. It made this weird squashing noise with every movement it made. It stopped right over her abdomen, opening its mouth abnormally large.

Breeze's optics widen even more. She started to muster a extremely quiet sentence."Primus, please no-" she didn't finish her sentence as a large, slithery tongue came out of the creature's mouth and plunged into her stomach.

Pain erupted everywhere inside of Breeze. She wanted to look away from the tongue in her stomach, but she couldn't. She could feel it moving in her stomach. It felt like it was searching for something. Breeze attempt to move her optics to look up, but immediately regretted it. The creature's face was mere centimeters from her face, it's eyes looking straight into her's. She felt it breathing in and out, her spark was pulsing rapidly and she started hyperventilating.

After what felt like a joor, the creatures tongue stopped moving. Breeze looked down at it and felt it wrap around. Breeze felt tears forming in her optics. 'Please, no.' She thought. The creature, with a disgusting squished noise, it ripped out the form of a tiny new spark.

Breeze couldn't hold her agony anymore as she screamed.

"NOOOOOO!!!!"

—

Greenstrip froze for astrosecond. He already felt nervous when his mate didn't respond immediately before. But the agonizing scream coming from his home was enough to make him run to Breeze slinger.

He and his friends, Heatstroke and Thundershock, were busy patrolling near his home. He already voiced how concerned he was for his family. With his expecting mate and two sparklings, they would definitely be targets.

Now, he and the others were booking it to his door. Heatstroke gave a sympathetic look. "Your mate's a badaft. She can handle that thing."

Thundershock gave his brother a look. "More badaft than Gearshift?" He said, earning himself a glare from his brother.

Greenstrip didn't even hear what Geatstroke said. He was far to scared, worried, and focus to listen to jokes. 'Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay-' Greenstrip repeated in his head. Breeze was the light to his life. Same of Bluewheel and Patchspark. 'What if their-' he quickly stopped thinking about that.

Once at the door, he tried to open it, but it was locked. Of course. To save time, he rammed the door, surprising the brothers behind him. He bolted to the living room.

And immediately felt his spark explode.

There, laying on the couch on her back, was Breeze. Having a hole through her abdomen. Over her was the creature. It spun its head around abnormally fast, staring straight at him. It long tongue was holding what Greenstrip can easily see as a new spark. It's tongue rolled back up into its mouth, swallowing the little thing whole.

Greenstrip's entire frame was frozen in place. He couldn't believe it. He saw his child killed in front of him. Heatstroke and Thundershock were identical frozen as well. They too witnessed it, Heat showing pure guilt front the joke before.

The creature stared at them for awhile until it suddenly launched itself at them. They have time to react. But it was blown into a wall by a gun shot. The trio looked towards the source of the shot to see EMP standing there, rifle in hand. His grip on the gun shook as he stared at the creature. He then started firing at the creature body senselessly. Heatstroke immediately commed Gearshift while Thundershock quickly tried to calm the bit down while Greenstrip went to his mate, who had rolled off the couch. He held her in his arms, placing his hand on her wound. Tears were pouring out of her optics as she was clutching Greenstrip's arm. She just kept repeating, that it was her fault, over and over again.

Greenstrip kept saying calming words, trying desperately to calm his mate.

"Dad?"

Greenstrip looked up to the sound of his daughter's voice. Patchspark and Bluewheel were standing there, shaking to seeing not only their mother on the ground, but at the same time the messed up corpse of the creature.

Greenstrip felt fear and guilt about this. How was he going to tell his kids that their unborn sister was killed this lunar cycle?

(This was something)
