Chapter One: Alexis Witwicky

BEEP.

This is Alexis Witwicky I was unable to get to the phone so please leave me a message and I will return the call as soon as I am able, thank you. BEEP

"Hey Sis it's Sam, been trying to reach you on your cell and you aren't answering. I really need you to call me as soon as you get my messages, please it's important. Later."

Alexis Witwicky sighed as she instantly pulled out her cell phone to see that whatever it was that Samuel Witwicky was trying to tell his younger adopted sister. Apparently it was very, very important if the ten missed calls were any indication to that fact.

Picking up her phone she dialed a number she knew all too well waiting for her brother to pick up on the other end. There was a moment or two of ringing before the familiar smooth voice of her brother answered.

"'Llo?" Sam questioned his voice scratchy indicating he'd probably been asleep when she'd called.

"Hey, Sam it's Lex, didn't mean to wake you," she said leaning against the wall that rested right beside the hallway table that held the phone. "What was so important?"

"Huh?" there was a pause as Sam seemed to be thinking about what it was that he had been trying to tell her all afternoon. "Oh!"

"What?" Alexis had heard that tone of voice before knowing that there was something important that was running through her brother's head.

"In about three minutes Bee'll be at your doorstep. Just get in and enjoy the ride,"

"Sam what're you getting me into?" Alexis demanded as she heard a car honk outside.

"Lex, just trust me okay?"

"Fine," Alexis said and then said bye as there was a more impatient honk outside. "Oi, Sylas Emi, I gotta go out for a while. I'll be back in a couple of hours."

"Really?" came the sweet, soft voice of her friend Emily.

"Sorry Emi, it's something for Sam,"

"Later," Sylas called as Alexis ran out the door.

"Wait a minute did he say Bumblebee was picking me up?" Alexis questioned freezing on the spot as she opened the front door to be met by the sight of the yellow Camero that belonged to her brother sitting at the end of the driveway.

The door to the car swung open on its own and there was a staticy voice coming from the radio that was a combination of different voices.

"Come on…we must go…"

Alexis stopped again and looked at the car a puzzled look on her face. When Bumblebee honked his horn again in impatience she nearly jumped and ran the rest of the way down the drive and slid into the driver's seat.

As soon as she was in fully the door shut and Bumblebee took off leaving a streak of black from where the tires met pavement when he'd left in a flash. Instinctively Alexis's hands reached for something to hold onto and she gripped the steering wheel harshly.

"Not so hard," the staticy voice said again and she instantly released the steering wheel.

"Sorry," Alexis muttered.

"You can hold onto the steering wheel, just not so hard,"

Alexis's hands gently gripped the steering wheel again. She then noticed the voice that she had first heard was not the same as the one who had first ordered her to hurry up.

"Your voice changed," Alexis stated out loud feeling like a crazy person talking to her brother's car the way she was.

"This is my voice," the voice said again, this time it was slightly accented, and she realized it was originating from the car's radio. "My voice modulator will sometimes act up so I have gotten into a habit of using the radio to communicate,"

"Ah," Alexis said totally confused at how the situation was turning out. "So can you tell me where we're going? Sam just said to trust you,"

"We shall be there shortly." Bumblebee said his voice becoming stronger as the moments passed. "All I ask is that you do not panic."

"Okay," Alexis nodded running her hand over Bee's steering wheel absently as she watched out the window at the scenery that was passing.

They were driving along a basically abandoned stretch of road apparently heading to a even more abandoned area. She saw lights ahead of them and leant forward in curiosity to try and see what may have been this far out in the middle of nowhere. What she saw shocked her beyond all belief.

Bumblebee skid to a stop his driver's side door opening indicating to the fact that he wanted her to get out of the car now. It took Alexis a moment or two to get feeling back in her body once the shock wore off. She stumbled out of the car and as soon as she did he transformed into one of these monsters of metal that stood in front of Alexis as well.

She gapped at the giant monsters of metal that surrounded her. They all towered over her but oddly enough she neither felt afraid or threatened in any way. There were only four including Bumblebee, and all seemed to be happy for some reason to see her. Then the largest of the creatures spoke.

"We have been searching for you Alexis Witwicky,"
