Incubus-Ch 1

“Soundwave, have you located the specimens yet?”
“I believe so, Lord Megatron.” A monotone voice replied, “One now resides in New Jersey, and the other in Vermont. They should be easy to procure.”
“Very good, Soundwave. Send your underlings to fetch them immediately.”

“One dog, plain.”
    As Jessica thanked the vendor and paid for her hot dog, she suddenly got a very strange feeling that someone was watching her. She wrote it off as her being paranoid. I mean there wasn’t anyone else around, just a few cars and a motorcycle. She walked home, taking oversized bites of her meal and making sure to walk past some stores with lots of people in them.
“There’s nothing wrong with being a little bit cautious every once in a while.” She mumbled to herself. “There’s no way this chick is going to meet her end at the hands of a stalker.”


“Natalie, pay attention!”
“Yes, sorry!”
“One more slip up and you’ll be looking for another job.” Her boss reprimanded.
    It was bad enough that he yelled at her, but to do it in front of the customers was completely humiliating. She had only been working at The Tech for a few months and already her anxiety levels had skyrocketed.

She kicked furiously and screamed at the people in the shops to call 911, but it was no use. The transformer was too fast for the police cars that eventually tracked them down.
“This is it. This is how I die.”

    A screaming Natalie was swiftly carried over buildings, so far into the air that she could barely breathe. Her skin turned bright red from the cold, goose bumps pricking her skin. The strange condor had told her that she was ‘Decepticon property’, like she was supposed to know what the hell that even was.
“Please, I won’t tell anyone that I saw you! Please just put me back!”
“Stupid human.” He sighed, “You have no idea how fortunate you are.”
“Fortunate?”
“You will be helping us to further propagate our species. You should be honored.”
    Propagate the species.
   
“They’re going to-”
