[Chloe's Third P.O.V]

"Chloe! You'll miss the bus if you don't get up right now!"

Slamming the door aside Chloe got down the staircase almost jogging, her tootbrush stuffed in her mouth as she ran at the master bathroom. She couldn't get more annoyed than this- her puriod had just started yesterday. And she was already going to be late on monday morning!

"Make me a sandwhich, quick!" Chloe yelled until slammed the bathroom's door close, hearing her Uncle all busy too. He was preparing to get to work too, although he didn't have the time to take her this time.

"Peanut butter?" Joe yelled from kitchen, the girl doing what girl gotta do.

"And jam!" Chloe fixed her hair and put some make up afterwards, leaving the bathroom. More quietly than she tended. After she entered their large kitchen what caught her eye was a paper pile laying on the table, on it stressed this black signature 'M.E.C.H'. The girl grabbed the paper and just watched it over, managing to notice contract of employment stick out. "... You've got a new job?"

Her Uncle almost threw the peanut butter jar in his hand up in the air, turning around startled to death. But his eyes deepened of the paper Chloe held now.

"You know about not touching my belongings, Chloe." Uncle Joe snatched the paper from her quite scarily, stuffing it to his file he carried always with.

"I'm just curious-"

"Your sandwhich's ready. Don't be late from school." The man completely blocked her out as well headed towards their front door. The file in his tight arm squeeze. "Don't expect me to be back before 10 p.m!"

"Okay...!" Chloe managed to yell before the door slammed close, startling the girl a bit.

Her eyes traveled to the just-prepared food on the table while she sat heavily down... not understanding the behaviour her guardian just showed to her. Uncle Joe never got upset to her and this was the first time after so many years-- just because of a work contract?

... Well, I get to visit the junk yard without him knowing.

Megatron hadn't shown up either for the past two days, Chloe wondering that he was busy. With leading and all. She had made quite the progress already and was actually proud of how productive she had been the entire weekend, now she only was missing tiny parts and didn't want to trouble the Leader by it.

The human girl could do it herself- her leg had almost made fully recover also!

"-- The BUS!"

~~|||~~

-- My favorite song?

Questioning the sudden noice Chloe stopped half-way on the way to her home, dropping a big full sack of useful junk metal. She got the phone from her pocket and almost sighed too dramatically, seeing it was June calling for her. June Darby, remember? Jack's mother- her almost-second-mom?

I will kill Uncle for this.

"... June?"

"Aren't you ment to sound more like heyy how's it going or how are you doing-- because I am sick and worried about you!" June said to the phone, Chloe took the phone little away from her ear. She sighed as got the sack again, heading towards their empty and dark yard. Of course it was since Joe wasn't home. "How is my favorite baby-girl doing? Are you outside?"

"Yup, just walkin' home nothing else." Chloe kicked a small random rock off her path, managing to walk peacefully this trip back. She got to their house's front door and put the sack down to take a key from under their plant pot beside the door --very classic, as she snug it in and unlocked the door to step in. "I have to ask this, but, did my Uncle have something to do with this call?"

"... A little bit." June sounded troubled, and felt like gasping once Chloe sighed heavily. "But I swear there hasn't gone past a single day when I haven't thought about you! I have tried to give you the distance you need and want... but you should know I am grieving such as much as you are. Julia and Max were the most sweetest people I ever knew! They were there when things were bad, having my back. So, whetever you liked it or not now I will have your back from now on."

Chloe got on the lights of their house; stopping on the staircase's point when June said all that. What really caught her attention was the word grief. Why  was that- why she chose such word? Her eyes deepened so angry that she clenched her hand into a fist.

"Who said anything about me grieving? Was it Jack?" Now the teenager threw her boots off and put on her flip flops and angrily stormed to the kitchen to grab something to eat. "My Uncle? Someone else--?"

"Chloe." The woman on the other side made a plead, but with raising her voice. Chloe bit her own lip while desided to go despite food on the fridge with an apple laying on the table, taking a big bay of it. "It feels stupid and very pathetic from me to say it to you like this as your godmother, but I miss you. We all do." At this point the girl sucked in all the graving pain within and shut her eyes close, not realizing how had she actually started squeezing the apple. "And you should know you are not alone. Please just come by tomorrow--"

"I need to go." Chloe wasn't in the need of this at all, so she quietly sobbed and cut the phone, from the background hearing June call her name yet again. She covered her face with her hand while with the other took another bay of the apple, chewing there with leaning her back against the kitchen level. June was a person Chloe cared for dearly, but she was also the kind of person who had bad timings. And the subjects she really didn't need. "Ahh, fuck."

After wiping away the smally formed tears Chloe turned to grab a cookie from the table and prepare to make her homework, until the electricity in her house flashed a bit. The girl froze, eyes gazing up at the lamp which again operated normally. But it certainly didn't took long as that happened again, she snuggling her phone back in the pocket as well rushing towards the front door. Her flip flops sounded like duck steps which calmed her bit down.

By going out of the door all Chloe saw was an empty yard, although their outdoor lights were on. And the clock was only 8.21 p.m. The moment of terror captivated the young girl as she backed up a bit, eyes scanning through outside.

Megatron?

But why would he be trying to scare me to death--

Something metallic collided together on their house's right side, Chloe grabbing with her this time their brooms as made run for it. Those had to be raccoons eating their garbage!

"Alright you sneaky little--!"

Yet again; like countless many times already the human girl had to froze on her spot. And once her eyes laid on the beings before her the most creepiest one chuckled evilly, deep purple optics locked on Chloe's small being.

"In a rush to kill someone with that?" The female questioned-- but she was a spider. Definitely a spider; she had six legs sticking out from her back; creepy bug-optics and God her frame, although she had two legs which to stand on, while her entire being was just too scary. For once even Chloe found it reasonable to back down a bit, recognizing the two other taller Cybertronians beside her as Vehicons which Megatron told her about. But they were low-ranked-- ordered to move! Was this female Cybertronian one of Megatron's generals? "I find it hard to believe our Master is scared of something like that."

"Are you Megatron's crew?" Chloe asked swallowing hard, maybe the spider had not noticed but she had put her phone on in her hoodie's front pocket as searched the saved number, trying unnoticable write Megatron if needed.

"Indeed I am, actually his Second in command on the Nemesis in case for a trouble," The ladybug literally said proudly, never loosing her long/thin and very sharp claws away from her hips. "And I see one right now."

The spider's arms loosed on her sides, while Chloe watched the two Vehicons transform their cannons up. By now she had an idea what was going on, perhaps Megatron wasn't such leader she had thought of. Feirless maybe, but not so into hearing his followers' word; he was what they call independent ruler. He must've hadn't told anyone of her, and look where it had led?

"What'd you mean?" Chloe tried to sound scared, starting to back up. She couldn't run away for such things- already tested, neither she could actually use the brooms in her other hand for use. She was too small, fragmental.

"You humans are always the curious ones I see," The female was following arogantly slow with, her six legs twitching ones while the troopers beside just stayed with. "But enough stupid to be fooled. You shall perfectly fit for my collection among all the other creatures I've collected." A hiss escaped her while her legs suddenly shifted into the big-ass like spiders had, now the human girl flinched dearly. She was coming at her with her legs now, two front arms extending to her.

"Your Master won't be pleased of what you're doing...!" Chloe quickly typed to the message ASAP possibly right as she send it, been brought back to reality by big Cybertronian spider legs closing up.

"Even though I have no reason to believe he has taken an interest up to you it's still a miracle that a human like you is still breathing," The female said in amusement, Chloe now jogging almost backwards. She had to seek away from her smithy, otherwise she'd let out her invention's location. "If Lord Megatron is in the same question."

"Jealous?" Chloe raced against time, for once trying to spin around and make run for it. But like said a long and thin spider leg smacked to the ground before her, blocking the poor human's way. Her head now looked up to face the most creepiest shade of purple.

"Oh my, sweetspark you need to do a lot more than that just to get me to blush-" The spider Cybertronian's sharp digits traced along Chloe's cheek up to her neck. The human remained on place, frozen dead on her track. But she vinced once the lady Spider did scratch her cheek so there now formed a clear line of blood trace, even small touch and her fingers were all on it. "Even the thought of seeing you drown to your own red life substance is getting my energon boil of excitment."

Sadistic followers, I see!?

But Chloe wasn't going to take this. Not one bit. Despite the last time when Chloe used to scratch Knockout's painting now she hit the brooms to the ground at very dangerous speed, almost getting the two twin Vehicons blast at her. The spider didn't expect this either, as we know her Airachnid, as she stared frozen for second.

"Do you expect that to save you out of this?" The female questioned very dumbfounded, shaking her helm dramatically as curling her digits a bit.

"No." Chloe said, head low. -- But her smirk did found it's way on place. "But it will save me from you!" Now she brushed some of the dead sand on her face, managing to dirt her optics as well made similar smoke field around her, getting the Cybertronian back down and cover her faceplate with loud groan of disapproaval. Then Chloe tried to cause some damage by smacking the wooded-brooms for the spider-lady's leg, wide eyes watching how half of it was now gone and only ripped wood was replaced. "Uh-oh..."

"Argh- you!" Now Chloe had got two Megatron's followers pissed at her. Once a servo tried to get her she saw it the best to jump out of the way and dove where she couldn't bend; running past the two Vehicons. She could loud and clear hear their plasmas heating up for her. "No. She's mine."

The girl ran as fast as her feet could carry; outside of their yard. She couldn't risk her house been destroyed of all the memories it held, as well couldn't allow this Cybertronian get her hands on something which Megatron didn't want her to know. It was obvious the Leader-of-the-what again despised Chloe's entire being, not willing to discuss of her deal with him to any of his crew. Not even to his Second in command. His right arm!

Chloe picked up her phone from side pocket as well unlocked it up, between heavy breaths trying to see did she type right for the silver mech. There was clearly an ASAP covered big... and that it was seen.

How long does he have to deside to come over--!?

Suddenly; Chloe no longer felt like running. Her body immediately reacted for whatever was attached to her back now to seek forward, but it was impossible. While trying to maintain her balance she glanced back, eyes turning wide to see a spider web now stickying her back. It was like glue. The feminine Spider on the other hand looked not cocky and devilish this time, but eager and desireless. So it didn't come as surprise when she begun to pull the human backwards towards her waiting claws.

"No, no--!" Chloe panicked, trying to use her legs to stop herself but for nothing. That female's grasp was really like iron grip. "Let me go!" That sounded way too teenager-kind-of, but why would the enemy release her in the first place!? Once Chloe was brought enough close of the sadistic Cybertronian claws wrapped around her tight and pushed her against the ground on her back, very dangerously hard. The girl watched the other two Vehicons join the spider's point of view, so they would probably be the last persons she'd ever see while being killed.

This is it.

"I usually don't give anyone such rare opportunities for goodbyes, but just to keep up the good mood--" The female begun, her glowing dentas shining under the night sky while her optics glowed brighter than the day. Chloe was captivated for a second, really thinking she was going crazy. "Any last wishes, human?"

"Ngh," The human just stuttered to think really.

"Perhaps you may start of releasing her."

Chloe's eyes went wide while her head lent to look back maybe upside down, but she could clearly see now the portal which that same mech standing there left last time, his stern and solid body approaching these three very slowly and agonizingly. Each heavy step the Warlord took, made the situation even more tense. But the girl felt thrilled, Megatron had actually came to her aid.

"And then get back on the ship, Airachnid." Megatron said to end his threatening sentence, stopping ten feet away.

Seriosly? Why is he stopping!?

"Megatron!" Chloe said it way happily than she ment. He shared her a glance the words couldn't describe, pissed and concerned at same time?

"Master." This 'Airachnid' Chloe referred bowed for her Leader, leaving the human in her grasp watch the two Vehicons stutter a bit and place an arm above their chest and froze like drones there. Woah, Megatron really was their Leader. Those two wouldn't probably move the entire day if it wasn't for his command. Although going for his SIC-- "Why are you here?" Her grip around Chloe tightened, her glare obvious down at her.

"I would ask you the same question. But it is already obvious of why the both of us are here." Megatron quickly corrected, to the open portal his helm nodded towards it, the two Vehicons quickly rushed towards it until went through. But his bewildering body stayed there, his fists clenching. "Release the human immediately. Or are you trying to defy your Master?"

Oh my, oh my, oh my-

To test loyalty on me!?

"... Yes, my Lord." Like out of nowhere Chloe no longer found herself been crushed to death but watched Airachnid get back on her two pedes her frame crouching a bit, as well glaring down at Chloe. That look also held so many meanings in it! "But I still have a question; what do you need this individual for?"

"Everything will be explained. Now, return back on the ship and make sure those Vehicons keep their dentas sealed. I cannot allow a nonsense rumor spread among my warriors about any of this." Megatron said quick, but held spat in his every word. Yup, clearly he was gonna do some damage today.

"My Master." Airachnid bowed for one last time, until slowly left Chloe's side walking towards the open portal still. Her frame was way smaller than that of Megatron's-- she was half of his height.

What that makes me- oh yeah, ten times smaller!

Once the Spider female was finally through the bridge it closed up, just like that. For second Chloe rose her gaze in deep shock wondering how fast had Megatron gone through, but he hadn't. There he stood on the clearance, approaching her almost immediately while that portal was shut close.

"Before you start with anything, I've been tried to kill twice already by your followers-- so right now I'm not in a mood for lecture," Chloe tried to get up but saw she had been glued to the ground by that web, her body not moving anywhere. Not even twitching. Megatron stopped a few feet away to watch her tries to pull herself out but failed dearly. "Second of; would you please help me with this?"

The Warlord gave a hard thought about it, deep judging look given to the human girl. Chloe vinced once his sword came out very unexpectedly and fast, swallowing when it closed up. But unlike her thinking he would murder her and think it's the easiest solution of what was to come for him, the web stuck upon her was ripped, gone. With small ease swipe of that sharp thing might cut even something way harder-- like their metal.

"Anything else you require?" Megatron so dearly tried to hold his irritation in, watching Chloe get back up on her feet. Little tremping first tho.

Not even an apology...

"Uhh, no." She was quick to say, making a movement with her arm as if I'm out. Megatron made a quiet nod as well turned, so not ready to explain to Airachnid all this. Although there was one thing. "Oh, wait-!" Just as the Warmonger turned to transform he glanced over his shoulder back at the human standing there, her eyes glimming under the moonlight. A small hint of growl left him, noting her he was anything else but patient. "I, uhh-- it's almost complete," As she begun like this Megatron shiftly moved to see her better, optics hesitantly relaxing of the info. "But since I have no idea how should I attach the most important and vatal parts I'm afraid I require small help with that... if no problem, perhaps you may give me a hand?" Shocked, Chloe watched Megatron's eyes wider than ever. He just kept bluntly staring! "That is I'm not quite sure can you do something with those hands."

Those are massive!

By this the Leader of the Decepticons gave yet again hard thought to this, until turned to leave. This confirmed that he had made up his mind. While the girl just held her breath not knowing what would his answer be. He wanted it done for, maybe he can work or help with it at least bitterly.

"If none of my duties seem far more important I shall provide you the assistance you need, although I know Knockout would know better." The silver Cybertronian said, getting a loud snort.

"He'd literally electrify me as payback, so maybe not." Chloe chuckled a bit, her gaze dropping to stare at her boots and the dead ground. Megatron found himself again just exploring the being, until been caught off guard by her head whipping to look up. "So if nothing comes up... come by night."

Megatron simply nodded.

"If possible we shall develope something for the issue, containing our such size difference." Megatron still said, getting Chloe show small grin.

"You're just big." Chloe's comment was absurd.

"Or perhaps you're just too small." Megatron reminded not to mess with him by raising his tone, earning a simple air brush the air once as if 'fine fine'.

"But I really need those muscles then." Chloe pointed, until slowly started to walk backwards. She clapped her hands once to still earn his full attention, showing thumbs up. "But really thanks for saving my ass!"

Then the girl sprung off, running towards their front door adrenaline just hitting her.

Leaving the frozen, Megatron stand there for a while and watch after her.

"Airachnid..."
