A lot has been going on lately. I'm suddenly a sophomore in college, which I think I knew before, but it just hit me. I have so much homework and so little time to write this story, which I'm really sorry for. I just want to have time to think it all out and not just rush and spit out a chapter that makes no sense or sounds bad. But I've found time today! Mid-terms are coming up, but I need a break. XD
Hope you enjoy! Sorry for the wait!

There were voices everywhere.
"I'm doing the best I can!"
"We found her like this..."
"Move aside- I needed that!"
"Hold on, kid, hold on."
They changed as the seconds ticked by, or maybe hours, Lynlee wasn't sure. There was this quiet place in the back of her mind that she found herself sitting in. A space of pure darkness and emptiness- void of anyone or anything.
Except for the voices.
She heard them talking, but didn't really try to reach out and grasp them. She felt comfortable right where she was, despite the feeling that she was fading away. It was strange but calming, being able to just sit in silence.
Lynlee had began to like silence.
Especially with Soundwave.
Soundwave.
She wondered where she'd heard that name before. It just popped out of the blue. Like a whisper in the back of her mind, reminding her. Soundwave. Soundwave was here. He left me.
No, he saved her.
"She's been hurt bad. This girl needs a hospital, not some alien doctor who knows nothing about humans and their medical needs!"
"Mom-"
"Don't interrupt me. We have no time-"
"That would lead to too many questions-"
Lynlee huffed and tilted her head, feeling warm and happy and free floating around in the darkness. A light from behind her made her flinch, and she turned. She suddenly felt something glowing and pulsating on her chest. Much to her surprise, she found her mother's necklace placed gently around her neck.
"You cannot leave yet." A loud, calming voice spoke. Lynlee jumped in surprise.
"Wh-who's there?" she felt herself draw closer to the light, but it was so bright she had to close her eyes. The darkness was beginning to fade, along with that warm, calming feeling.
"I am Primus, sparkling." The voice seemed to float all around her.
"Primus?" Lynlee had never heard the name before.
"Yes, sparkling. A wrong from the past must be corrected. I need you to guide him home."
Images began to flash through her mind. Soundwave began to flash through her mind. There were moments in time after her kidnapping, and also some familiar images from the dreams she had. Images of metal claws and teeth. Screams began to echo through her head.
Screams of Soundwaves carrier. Cries from his sire.
"Please stop." Lynlee whimpered. Pain began to erupt over her body little by little.
"It is okay, sparkling." Primus' voice was calming. The light dimmed down and a familiar warmth spread over her entire body, easing the pain. "I have called you to help Soundwave. You cannot leave him."
She began to hear those voices getting louder and louder.
"Is she stable?"
"We cannot waste time."
"Primus, this is bad..."
She could remember being held down by Megatron- being trapped in that nightmare before Soundwave came and rescued her.
"H-he saved me."
"Indeed, he did. And now you must save him."
"B-but why me? Why did I dream about him before I even knew him? Shared his memories? He could see my memories too. I don't understand..."
The warmth spread, but the pain was beginning to come back.
"I have assigned you to be his sparkmate. You share your past and memories. It had to be done." Primus said softly. "Now, sparkling. We do not have much time together. It is time for you to go."
"What? What do you-" Lynlee gasped for breath, trying to stop a scream. The pain was unbearable.
"Go now, sparkling."
"I think it's working!"
"Thank you, Primus."
"I think she's waking up."
Lynlee felt pain spreading all over her body. That warmth was gone, along with the light and Primus- whoever that was. His voice had been so calming. So assuring. Tears filled the girl's eyes as she slowly opened them and was immediately blinded by the lights surrounding her.
Large beings stood around her, making her flinch backward. A hand gently held her shoulder, and a kind voice spoke, "It looks like you're awake."
"W-where am I?" Lynlee found herself staring at a woman wearing scrubs standing over her. The woman smiled.
"I'm June Darby. You gave us a little scare."
"Honestly, the fragility of you humans are incomprehensible." A voice scoffed. Lynlee turned her head to find a tall orange and white robot standing beside her.
"She had internal bleeding Ratchet."
"Something a little energon couldn't fix if she were a Cybertronian." Ratchet scoffed again.
"You are overwhelming her." A new voice spoke. Lynlee turned her head gently. A large red and blue robot, towering all the others, stood with a kind look on his face. "Hello, sparkling. I am Optimus Prime."
"Optimus Prime?" her small voice squeaked.
Optimus stared at the small femme. Tears began to leak from her optics. June Darby leaned down. "What's the matter, sweetie? Are you in any pain? We gave you some medication but It might be wearing off soon-"
"Him." Lynlee interrupted.
"Him?" June questioned. The girl wanted to point at Optimus Prime but couldn't find the energy to lift her arms. Optimus could feel the sparklings optics on him, though, and stepped closer.
"Do you know me, sparkling?" He asked. Of course, it was uncertain what she learned from being on the Nemesis for so long. Decepticons could have brainwashed her or taken advantage of her mind. It seemed unlikely, but it had also been unlikely that Megatron would keep her alive in the first place, and it was unknown what they did to her and why.
Lynlee felt tears dripping down her face and a sob slipped out. Her ribs cried out in pain but she didn't care. She finally lifted her arm towards him, this Optimus Prime, and he suddenly fizzled in front of her.
The moment he stepped next to her small bed she lunged forward and wrapped her arms around him.
Optimus jerked in surprise, while June and Ratchet began to inform Lynlee to lay back down, but the girl just couldn't. Images were filling her head again, making her tremble at the very thought of Megatron. She hadn't actually been there, but Optimus had been. He tried his best to help Soundwave's parents.
"Thank you." Lynlee's voice trembled out. Her sobs continued, and while Optimus was slightly uncomfortable, he felt himself wrapping his holoforms arms around the trembling sparkling.
"Thank you," Lynlee repeated again. Her trembling body latched onto him and refused to let go. Optimus glanced at the other Autobots before looking back down at the sparkling once again. She didn't flinch when she felt his hand touch the top of her head.
"You're welcome, sparkling." he said softly, though not knowing the full extent of her thanks just yet, "You're welcome.

Okay...
Thoughts and feelings?
I felt so relieved when writing this. I'm happy to get another chapter done for you guys! I hope you liked it.
Honestly, I haven't read many books with Primus in it, so I'm not used to writing him as a character. I hope I portrayed him well. And I hope you liked this chapter! Feel free to comment on mistakes or let me know what you think!
Until the next chapter! (I'll try to get the next one out soon)
