Prologue


I wrapped my jacket tightly around my shoulders as the cold air swirled in pretty patterns, leaving its icy kisses on my cheek. I turned out of the diner car park, bringing my scarf up over my mouth and nose, breathing into it so my face was warm. The chilly February night embraced me, but I wasn’t fazed by the darkness. I heard footsteps behind me, but paid no mind to them. I’d had a good shift at work today, it was pay day and my payslip envelope was a little thicker than usual, so I had one more reason to be happy this evening. Charlie, my boss had complained lightly about his wife’s ridiculous cravings during her pregnancy, but the way his eyes lit up when he spoke about her showed that he didn’t mind at all. I smiled as I walked down the country road, the diner I worked in was quite far out from town, and the main customers were truck drivers with protruding beer bellies. I thought of the mountain of school work waiting for me in a neat pile on my desk at home, and I felt the smile slide off of my face. Suddenly I was aware of someone standing close behind me, too close for someone you don’t know.

‘Hey gorgeous, you all right?’ I nodded without meeting his gaze and sped up my pace slightly, resisting the urge to look behind me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw another man approaching from my left, winking at the other man. They came together and blocked my path, looking down at me and I couldn’t help but feel intimidated by the large men. I kept my eyes down and tried to sidle past them, but one of the men placed his hand on my wrist, his large thick fingers overlapping. The other man placed his hand on the small of my back, and together they herded me to the side of a large red and blue truck that was parked in the diner’s car park. He slammed me up against the side roughly, placing a large hand over my mouth. My hands gripped the skirt of my uniform, pulling it down as far as it would go, but the other man yanked them away, holding both of my wrists in one of his hands. ‘This’ll just be quick darlin’’ I heard the terrifying sound of his zip coming undone, and then was distracted by the sound of the truck’s passenger door bursting open. A tall man jumped out onto the dusty car park floor, and he towered over the other two men. He had a Stetson hat on, and ice blue eyes that glared pure disgust at the two men restraining me. He had to be at least ‘6”5 tall and he looked from one man to the other.

‘I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Now let the young lady go, and we’ll say no more about it.’

‘Now I don’t think this is any of your business son.’ The man holding my wrists said, trying to intimidate Mr Stetson. Mr Stetson took a step forward.

‘I can make it my business.’ His voice was achingly low, carrying the undertones of his threat. I swallowed loudly and the man dropped my wrists. The other guy zipped his jeans back up and spat at the feet of Mr Stetson as they both left. Slowly I sank to my knees, trying unsuccessfully to control my breathing. I was vaguely aware of Mr Stetson lifting me into the cab of his truck and shutting the door behind me.

‘Thank you Sir.’ I whispered, feeling enormous gratification to this man who had kept me safe from those two..I stopped myself there, not allowing my thoughts to run away with me. I turned to face him, and panicked when I saw that he wasn’t there. ‘Hello?’

‘Don’t worry, you are quite safe with me.’

‘Where have you gone?’

‘I am still here, the man you saw was merely an illusion..a holoform. Would you care to accompany me for a short drive? I will explain everything.’

‘Okay.’ I whispered, and the seatbelt came across and buckled me in seemingly of its own accord. And then we drove forward into the night. 

This is my fanfic for Transformers Prime :) Jack, Miko and Raf will be introduced shortly in the next few chapters. I really would appreciate feedback on this! :D
