+ Chapter 9. What on earth am I doing?

Sunstreaker walked into the quest room. 'This will be your room then,' he said, shrugging. I looked around briefly before flashing him a smile. 'Don't thank me again. I know, alright. You're grateful. Just... go take a shower and pull this on.' I handed her my hood and jogging pants. 'Little too big, but just deal with it,' he said before walking off and closing the door. I looked around the room before retreating towards the bathroom that was attached.

After my warm shower, which I hadn't had in ages, I felt ten times better. Sunstreaker was already downstairs, preparing the lunch I rejected earlier today. It surprised me he did that for me and let me stay here. 'Much better,' he said approvingly. A smile pulled up on my lips. He sat down in front of me and we started eating in silence. I loved this silence.

I didn't even know what to do after lunch. I didn't have any pressure anymore. I can do whatever I wanted. Sunstreaker gave me a quiche tour where I could find everything and left me in the living room to draw upstairs. I sat down and switched on the tv.

Sunstreaker joined two hours later and settled a little further away from me with soda and bowl of chips. 'You want some?' He asked. I glanced at the bowl and gave a small nod. 'Come here.' I slowly moved closer towards him until I sat beside him. He allowed me to eat from his bowl.

'Well, now you're my 'housemate' I am going to give you some chores as well,' he said. I glanced at him. 'Helping me keeping the house clean because I hate it. Cooking, dishwasher all that type of thing. Keeping the garden beautiful in the summer. I will do the trash and clean my own room,' he said. I snorted, 'I can do the cleaning but I can't cook,' I signed. 'I will teach you,' he said. I gave a small nod. 'Do you think you can help me get a job?' I signed. 'A job?' he repeated and started thinking. 'But you don't talk... you don't like being around other people,' he said with a frown. 'I can't stay jobless for the rest of my life, right?' I gestured.

'Hmm, I will think about and see if I can come up with something,' he replied. 'Can I see your work enviroment? Or can't I come to the base?' I signed. 'I am sure I can show you around but not now. There's a lot of things I need to tell you now you are going to live with me,' he added. 'Maybe I finally get a vocal response from you,' he added. 'What's the point of not talking anyway?' he asked. I ignored that comment and kept my eyes on the TV.

That evening, I went to bed around 10:30. I was quite tired. Sunstreaker was going to stay up till 1:30 or so. Or that's what he told me. Friday is movie night and is much as I wanted to stay, I was barely able to keep my eyes open. I looked around the room one more time. It's the first time I have my own room, doesn't have to share it with anyone. Have a proper bed and carpet under my feet. This is definitely an huge upgrade. I crawled in bed and listened to the sounds around me. It was mostly quiet. Somewhere, faded on the background, I heard the TV, but it was completely peaceful.

Usually, I hear kids scream in agony or in fear for Cooper. Their screams still haunts me. Am I really free from him? Will he let me go or attempt something to sell me to the dealer he sold Eden too as well. So many questions popped up in my mind and kept me away for an hour. I eventually fell in a deep slumber and woke up at nine. I rolled on my back and stared at the ceiling. Sunstreaker will probably get up soon as well and he expects breakfast. I slid out of bed and started my daily routine before heading down.

I suck at cooking, but Sunstreaker taught me a few basic things. In his advantage though. 'Hey...' I turned my head as Sunstreaker entered the kitchen and opened the cabinet. 'Is this hood?' I signed. Sunstreaker grabbed the spatula and stirred in the pan. 'Yeah, you're heading in the right direction,' he said before placing the spatula down. 'Don't forget to make something for yourself,' he added. I returned towards the kitchen table not to long after and sat down in front of him. 'You didn't mess up,' he mocked. 'I hope...' Was all I signed. He took a bite. 'Nah, you didn't,' he said. 'Good.'

((Sunstreaker's P.O.V))
'Listen, I need to go to the base so you'll be alone for a couple of hours. Maybe we can go into town later today when I get back, okay?' I nodded. 'It's probably nothing interesting,' I said and waved my hand. She nodded and started eating. She looked better than previous day. She had gained some color on her face. The other day she was so pale that I thought she was going to faint. Her energy level is a little low but I guess that's because she lacks of sleep.

Ratchet should probably have a look at her and give her vaccines. I doubt she has given any when she was little. There are so many things I need to think about. She's a female for starter and honestly, I don't understand females. Second of all, she needs female product and I don't want to find tampons everywhere. I can live with the bras but that's it. She doesn't have any proper clothing either...

I still wondered why I haven't killed her yet. I should've done it a while ago. Now, I am stuck with her here in my home. A human free zone. She's going to give me more trouble eventually than I want. Especially when Prime finds out and I still need to deal with Cooper.
