chapter 10
It got quiet for a few minute as I fell into my thoughts, I'm happy now but at the same time I'm not happy at all, Optimus gave me away, the Autobots gave me away, like I was nothing. Optimus called me a problem, that I just got in his way all the time. These thoughts made me mad and sad as I looked up to see both bots turned the other direction so decided to get up. I quietly started to move but it was pretty painful, I shakily stood up as my legs didn't want to and they buckled causing me to fall back down I tried again not realizing the two now turning to look at me until I heard Ratchet speak in a stern raspy voice, "Sharlet what do you think your doing, sit back down right now," he said spooking me causing me to lose my balance and fall backwards as I fell off the bed and was cought by Optimus before I hit the ground.
I looked up at him with stern eyes, he noticed this and seemed a bit confused but after a few seconds he seemed to understand why I looked so mad at him and sat me back on the giant bed with a sigh, "Sharlet I am sorry, I know your mad at me and have every right to be for the mistake I made when I said all that stuff then gave you away like that, I just knew you wouldn't want to go without being sad over us so I was trying to make it easier for you by saying all that in Hope's that you would forget us. Looking back now, I'm glad you didn't but I still hurt you a great deal so I am truly sorry, I hope you can forgive me," he said as I turned my head not wanting to talk to him right now. He let out a sigh as he walked away with his head down, I felt bad but at the same time I knew I had no reason to feel bad, it was him who needed to feel bad, what he said really did hurt me and I didn't even know why.
I sat there doing nothing for about an hour until I heard the revving of engines and the others came into the base with the kids as they saw me and seemed to get excited, "Sharlet your finally awake, we were so scared that you weren't gonna make it!" Miko said hopping up and down as I gave her a smile. Everyone else said hello and stuff then the kids started to play around and the Autobots sat there watching in amusement as Optimus and Ratchet continued to work.
Two days later
I was finally aloud to get off the bed as Ratchet helped me stay steady and in no time I was walking again, it hurt a little but it was bearable. I was having fun with the others, Miko even brought me more clothes to wear and I finally excepted Optimus' apology and us kids were playing video games. Then out of nowhere the alarm went off hurting my ears as I dropped the controller and covered my ears in pain, Ratchet turned it off and checked me to see if it was a problem. Luckily I was ok as the elevator opened and agent Fowler walked in and when he spotted me his eyes widened, "you guys found her, she's ok, that's good to know," he said as I ran and hid behind Optimus who looked at me with sympathetic eyes then back at agent Fowler, "welcome back Fowler how can we help you?" Optimus said.
Agent Fowler gave him a weird look as Optimus reached down and picked me up putting me on his shoulders. I looked at Optimus with fear in my eyes that perhaps he's gonna give me away to him again but in his azure blue eyes I saw reassurance which calmed me down a bit. He turned to the Autobots and spoke, "y'all should start taking the kids back to their homes ok," he said as they all nodded and turned into their vehicle forms driving out of the base with the kids, he then turned to Ratchet, grabbing me off his shoulder and into his hands, "Ratchet can you take her and go do something with her so me and agent Fowler can talk," he said, alarm shot through my body as I knew it was about me staying and many possibilities popped into my head.
Ratchet nodded and took me out of Optimus' hands carrying me away from the room and into another room where he shut the door and sat down holding me up to talk. He must have noticed the terror that was going through me as he let out a small chuckle confusing me, "don't worry Sharlet, Optimus won't let him take you again, he's learned from last time that it was a huge mistake, so come on calm down and breathe, you're gonna be ok. Besides if he said yes again I would step in but I doubt he will I could tell from his actions," he spoke, his words were calm and reassuring as I nodded with a smile.
We waited in the room for awhile Ratchet going on about how he is probably gonna turn this room into a bedroom for me so I'll have some privacy but that wasn't a for sure thing, he was trying to make me laugh by saying funny things and tickling me which actually hurt but I did laugh and I'm sure everyone that's ticklish would agree. He was trying so hard to distract me but it didn't work since I could hear Optimus and Fowler talking and I guess it was because of the stuff Arlo has been putting in me because Ratchet didn't seem to hear them.
I started to listen in on what they were saying as I heard Optimus speak, "last time I put her into human custody she got taken and almost died so with all do respect agent Fowler I'm sorry but she's staying with us," he said his voice stern with confidence, I heard Fowler grunt then speak up, "Optimus you can't be serious, she's not one of you, she's small and could get squished if y'all aren't careful and she is probably bored with nothing to do here, besides that's not really your call to make. She was and experiment therefore the government needs to know what they did to her and since she can't speak then well just have to run some tests," he said, making me shake at the word test, it was all the same to me, they were gonna strap me down and stab me with needles I didn't want to. Ratchet got confused at my sudden fear and asked, "what's wrong, don't be scared I bet their almost done talking and then we can leave alright, don't worry your not going anywhere with him," he assured as I nodded trying not to show him that I could hear them as I continued to listen in on them.
"No, she is staying with us I will not allow you to take her again besides she doesn't want to go and every human has the right to their own choices they make, even her. I will not allow her to become the government's experiment, not after everything she's been through," Optimus said and agent Fowler continued, "we don't know what she is capable of, she could be a ticking bomb right now or could take down a whole military base by herself, whatever they have been doing to her we need to find out immediately so if it is dangerous to her or us humans then we can try and help her," he said making me a bit nervous for what Optimus was gonna say since he did sound pretty convincing until Optimus spoke up, "Ratchet can figure out what they did to her and we will report what we know to you but I will not let you take her again," he said as I heard a sigh escape Fowler's mouth and he gave up, "fine, she can stay but only if you take good care of her, that means spend time with her, freaking buy her some clothes instead of her having to wear those awful rags or Miko's, and make this place more of a home for a human girl to live in," he said as Optimus said ok and Fowler left making me smile with joy.
