Sitting on the picnic rug, I looked at Optimus's Holoform with a frown, "Optimus. Why are you here?, at this time?", I asked, as the cold breeze rustled my slightly faded blue hair that needed re-dying.

Optimus looked up at the sky, "I'm here to chat and this was the only time I could get out, without Galloway talking my audio receptor off", he explained, his Electric blue eyes slightly glowed in the dark lighting.

I simply nodded, "chat about what?"

Optimus paused, debating wether to mention or bring up a subject to me, he sighed, before speaking again, "I still wish to be your Guardian Cathy"

I looked away, "Why?", I ask confused, shaking my head.

"I promise your mother I will protect you, no matter what the cost is, and I cant do that if you're not be my side", Optimus spoke softly, placing a hand on my shoulder.

I looked at him with a frown on my lips, "Optimus, I know you mean well... but maybe my dad is right..", I whispered, pausing to grab his hand to remove it off my shoulder, "You don't need to protect me Optimus, I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself, you have bigger things to worry about. You got N.E.S.T to worry about, your Autobot's and yourself".

Optimus gave me a sad gaze, "but-"

"Cat!", Luke's familiar voice called to me, grabbing my attention with Optimus's, we both slowly stood up, facing where likes voice came from.

"Luke!?", I hollered out in the darkness, I could faintly hear footsteps running against gravel.

I took a step forward towards the noise, Optimus grabbed my arm, stopping me, his blue eyes hardening in alert, "we need to leave", he spoke up firmly.

I looked up at Optimus with a shocked expression, "what!?. No!", I squirmed out of his grip, heading to where I heard like with a worried expression, "Cathrine!", Optimus shouted at the same time as Luke did.

"Luke!?", I called out, into the darkness. Spinning around in a circle, no longer being able to see Optimus, or the picnic, anything.

My heart pounded loudly against my chest, my eyes looking around anxiously, to find anything, anyone. "Optimus!?, Luke!?", I screamed out into the darkness, my voice echoing the atmosphere.

I turned around to be meet with a pair of ruby red eyes, my eyes widening, I stumbled back In fear.

"Looking for this human?", The snarky voice asked, revealing a squirming boy in it's hand.

"Cat-hrine...", Luke choked out in pain, as he got squeezed harshly by the Decepticon.

"No!, stop it!", I screamed up at the Decepticon, "please!, sto-p!", my voice cracked in fear of loosing the person I cared most about.

The Decepticon 'tsk'ed down at me, shaking it's helm. "I, Starscream!, do not follow a humans order!", the silver mech snarled down at me. His sharp-like fingers, slowly started to squeeze tighter around my brothers figure, earning a scream of pain in return.

"Don't kill him!", I pleaded, running up to the Decepticon named Starscream, to weakly punch him on the foot.

The triangular shaped mech, looked down at me with disgust and hatred, "weak", he said cockily, before flicking his foot, making me fling across the air and land harshly against the gravel, pieces of stones and pebbles,flying through the air, as I rolled across the ground, soon to slowly stop on my side.

The stones sticking onto my skin and clothing, a cut ran across my cheek, blood running down my face. I slowly got to my feet, legs wobbling, tears leaking, "let. him. go!", I screamed at him, my hands curling into fists.

"Oh?, and what would you, fleshling, do about it. If I don't?", Starscream taunted, a dark grin on his face-plates.

I stood there, slowly closing my eyes, I steadied my breathing.

"OPTIMUS!", My scream echoed the area, to be followed by a loud cannon blast.

My eyes snap open, revealing my dark brown eyes, I stood frozen, in the middle of a battlefield.

"Give me the boy, starscream!", Optimus roared, drawling out his sword, before charging at the Silver mech.

Starscream transformed out a cannon, firing at Optimus, while walking backwards cowardiy, Luke squirming in his grasp wildly.

Suddenly, I was scooped up by pointed fingers, screaming in fear, I thrashed wildly, as my feet left earths surface.

"Stop!, drop your weapon and stand down Prime!, or both of them die!", Starscream screamed, Optimus froze, his sword held strongly in the air. Slowly lowering the sword, to drop it.

"Optimus!", I wheezed out, in the corner of my eye, I notice Luke uncouncious. Most likely from lack of oxygen, my heart pumped wildly in fear.

"Let the humans go Starscream!", Optimus demanded, slowly advancing toward us.

"Let them go?, of course Optimus. As you wish!", Starscream snarled, throwing us up in the air.

I screamed, spinning up into the air, gravity soon took over, causing me and a limp Luke to fall back down. My stomach dropping, hair rustling wildly, all I could see was the inky blackness of the sky as I fell.

It felt like I was in slow motion, while me and Luke free-falled back to Earths surface. Starscream fleeing the premises while he could, Optimus ran to us fiercly.

Optimus jumped through the air, reaching out to grab us, his servos spreading out, Everything seemed to suddenly speed up, as I collided against his metal servo with a loud 'SMACK'.

I screamed in agony, before quickly rolling onto my stomach. Optimus collided against earths soil, Dirt flicking up in the air. Optimus skidded to a stop on the grass, he groaned, slowly sitting up, pieces of dirt and gravel, falling off his armour.

I quickly sat up, clutching my left arm as it erupted in pain, "Luke!, where's Luke!?", I screamed at Optimus, who looked at me, slowly raising his left servo that was curled up, one by one, he un-curled his digits. opening up his servo...

To reveal it empty.

"No...no no no!", I screamed banging my right fist against his servo. looking around to see a bloody body on the gravel road.

Tears leaked my eyes, autobots soon appeared, speedin to the scene. They all skidded against the gravel to a stop. William and Epps got out of Ironhides Alt-mode, grasping rifles tightly in their hands.

Ratchets sirens echoing the area, before he transformed, soon followed by the rest of the Autobots. shaking my head furiously, as Ratchets shoulders slumped in disapproval. The twins transformed quickly to their bi-pedal modes, staring down at what used to be their lively charge.

"He's gone..", Sideswipe mumbled, slightly rolling on his feet, looking at Sunstreaker who simply vented and looked away.

I ran off Optimus's Servo, "cathrine!", he called to me, getting to his peds. I stumbled and fell to the ground in front of Luke.

"Brother! Luke Wake up!", I screamed, grabbing Luke's face, that was bruised and bloody, "wake up damn it!, Luke please!", I whimper, tears leaking my eyes.

I hugged his lifeless body, burying my face into his chest, "I love you Luke, wake up please!, I need you..."

Hands grabbed me, yanking me away from his body, "no!. NO!. He's still alive!, let go of me!", I screamed and thrashed about.

"Cathrine, he's gone", William's voice entered my hearing, "we need to leave, before the Decepticons Return.."

Getting picked up by the waist, I kicked the air, punching Williams arms, screaming, shouting, doing anything I could to get to my brother, but failed.

Epps sighed, letting go of his rifle, making it hang by his waist, he rested his hand on his face, "shit", Epps mumbled, crouching besides Luke, to cover his body with a sheet.

"LUKE!", I screamed at the lifeless body, that I got dragged further away from.

Slowly the sheet covered Luke's face.

The flaming desire of light, is slowly burning out. Like a candle.

The world I claimed to have known, is now unknown.

From this day on,

The peace is no longer able to be accessed too, unless you earn it.

Unless you fight for it.
