It has been two weeks since Jasmine's father disowned her. She had planned out her new life on her own and her brother helped her gather all the supplies she would need, which is little. She planned to move to a cabin down in the forest about two miles away from the estate. Her brother told her that provisions were already stored there. She really didn't mind leaving. She would only miss Satya dearly, but he promised to visit. Every one talked in hushes around her, knowing that she was banished. She hated it. It was like she was under observation, like some type of newly discovered animal. And all the gossip too! Women gathered in numbers can take down mountains with gossip if they wanted to. Her nurse was constantly giving her little trinkets and such to 'protect her from omens'. Her nurse was such a character. A fly landing on the wall could cause her to go into rituals for five weeks.
Jasmine walked down to her brother's room to spend her last night in this place with her brother. She sighed when she reached the door. She moved to knock when the door opened by itself. She found the room empty with a small note hanging on the wall.
'Meet me in the Hall. It is an emergency. –Satya-'
She sighed. What was he up to this time? She hurried down to the Hall only to be surprised by all of her supposed brothers and sisters. She stood there in surprise while everyone around her shouted cheers at her. Her brother came bustling to her and grabbed her hands.
"Surprise Jasmine! What do you think? I got everyone to come, well except father and a few of his wives, but who needs them any ways." He turned to the party. "This is a party right?"
The crowd answered in a loud agreement.
"Well then let's get this started!" Satya beamed down at his sisters dark face.
"I hate surprises." She scowled.
"Oh lighten up sis'. You need to have some fun before you go into your solitary living." He nudged her in the arm.
She folded her arms across her chest. "Fine."
"Good now go get some punch." Satya walked off to go flirt with some tasteless looking girls.
Jasmine snorted and looked over the party. She barely knew any of them. They never did talk to her. They thought she was taboo or something due to her exotic appearance. She went to go get some food when the captain of the guard ran into the Hall all bloody.
"W-w-w- we are under attack! By giants! " He choked out before he slipped into oblivion. The party panicked. Satya ran over to her and dragged her down the hallway as fast as he could.
"Whats happening?" She shrieked as the hall twenty feet behind her just went up in flames.
"I don't know but you need to get out of here now." He grabbed her travel gear out of her room and quickly put it on her but the roof caved in on them leaving her brother unconscious.
"Satya! Satya! Can you hear me?" Jasmine screamed through the smoke and dust. She looked up to see to brilliant red eyes glaring down at her.
"I have finally found you."
Jasmine screamed felt herself lifted off the ground. Then the darkness overtook her.
The next few hours were filled with dozing in and out of consciousness. She had no idea were she was, who they were, and why they had her. All she knew was that she was cold, hungry, and far from her home. Or what's left of it.
Jasmine woke up in a cold sweat as a nightmare gripped at her mind. She looked around to find herself trapped in a cage. The room was huge, like it was built for giants and machinery surrounded her with hums and whirring. She looked over to see another woman, quite older than her, sitting in another cage but it had blankets, food, and books; lot's of them too. The woman just sat there and stared at her curiously. It started to creep Jasmine out. Well all of her surroundings gave her the chills. She continued to look around and observe, trying to find a way out when she heard loud, rumbling footsteps. The giants were back.
Jasmine huddled to the back of the cage. Glaring red eyes met hers.
"Why do fear your creator little one." A low voice rumbled around her as the eyes continued to burn holes into her.
This time the woman spoke up. "Oh please Megatron, give her space. Can't you see that she is still in shock?" Jasmine gaped at the woman in surprise. How could she talk to that monster that way? She was in a cage too. But then she saw the woman stand up and walk right out of the cage. It wasn't even locked. She climbed on top of this Megatron thing and then let herself into her cage.
"You would be wise not talk to me that way Salena. You are worthless to me now. I can easily dispose of you when ever I want." He growled through the bars.
"You can't get rid of me yet. You have no idea how teenage girls can get. You will need some help. Go target practice or something. When you come back I will have calmed her down."
The giant metal man huffed and walked away muttering under his breath. It was something about using her as a target to practice on her or something. Jasmine shook her head and then looked at the woman that took a seat next to her.
"I guess I have some explaining to do." She calmly spoke.
Jasmine just nodded her head.
"Well sit back because it is a long story, of time and an ancient war that has been battling between to races of an alien species. This species is called the Transformers. They are non-biological creatures that have the ability to transform…"
Jasmine sat there and listened as the long story was told. Her brain felt like a sponge, soaking up every word she said. It was like a fairy tale between good and evil, but no offense to the good side, they are kind of pathetic. She learned about Decepticons and Cybertron and Autobots. Then the woman, whose name is Salena, told her story on how Decepticons wanted to create transformers that could transform into humans. That was when they captured her. They used her DNA and transformer coding to create a human transformer. Salena looked up at me.
"That's what you are, Jasmine, the first human transformer. I thought of you as my daughter. I didn't want you to live this life that I have to live. So I stole you away and gave you to my dear friend, Lord Helsel. He promised to take care of you, thinking that you were his child."
Jasmine looked up at Salena and studied her. She didn't look like the type who would be 'dear' friends with her former father. She sighed and then looked at her hands. "So, I can turn into one of them?"
"Yes, but you can do more. You see, you have organic DNA in you, which gives you the ability to transform into any organic thing you can think of. With transforming into a transformer you only have one robot form and one vehicle mode."
"Vehicle mode?" Jasmine was confused.
"You know, like a car or truck, or even an airplane."
"Oh." Jasmine looked back down. "How do I do it?"
"That is a question that you will have to ask Megatron." Salena looked over at the door as it hissed open and Megatron walked in again. Obviously in a better mood than before.
"Is she calm now?"
"Why don't you ask her yourself?" Salena looked at me.
"Well?" Megatron looked at her.
Jasmine just nodded her head.
