When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

A few days pass by, and Azura was still feeling incredibly unsure. She had found an abandoned house on the edge of Jasper and taken refuge there for the time being. It was not ideal, but it was better than sleeping on the street. Though in terms of sleeping, she has not had much sleep at all. Her mind was still a wreck, and she also found herself looking over her shoulder for any sign of the autobots. She has seen them driving around town, though she managed to keep hidden from them at this time.

She has still gone to school. That has not stopped as she wanted to keep going to complete her education. It was important, and she was able to speak to Jack while she was there. She needed a real friend. And while she did not tell him what has happened to her, it was nice to speak to him about school and stuff. Though she did find it a little hard to concentrate at the moment, though the teachers haven't seemed to notice thankfully.

The other thing that has upset her was the fact that she no longer had dreams with Primus. It was like he completely vanished, even though she wanted to speak to him. But it seemed he either no longer felt he was needed, or he wanted her to go back to the autobots before he would come back. Nonetheless, Azura still practiced her abilities and meditated so she could get better at them. It was the least she could do while she figured out what to do moving forward.

It was after school and she was heading back to the abandoned house when she did not notice the red dodge following her. She was deep in though, that when she arrived at the worn down house, it was too late by the time she noticed. She turned her head and widened her eyes when she saw Fowler stepping out of the car, making her worried he would make her go back.

"You know you shouldn't be wondering the streets like that, Azura," Fowler said kindly with a smile as he approached her. "And squatting, even in an abandoned house, is wrong. I am sure you are fully aware of that, young lady."

Azura just nodded as she trembled. "Uh...you...caught me, I guess..."

Fowler smiled at her kindly and leaned down, placing his hands on his thighs. "Listen to me, Azura. I know that Optimus had Cliff and I come into town to look for you around the time school finished. However, Cliff and I had talk things over." She looked at the man in surprise. "With what Cliff has told me, you're currently going through a very bad time mentally. I wish I could say I understand, but I don't. You're the only one on this planet to live a life thinking you are human, only to learn that you are not. And you're none other than the daughter of Optimus Prime." She nodded silently as she listened to him. "I don't blame you for feeling corner and needing to escape."

Azura was still trembling a she listened to him. "So...now that you know where I..."

Fowler stepped closer and placed a hand on her shoulder with a warm smile. "I won't force you to go back if you are not ready, Azura. But you cannot stay in this house. After Optimus and Ratchet told me what had happened, I realized that you need a lot of time and space. Unfortunately you won't be able to talk to a therapist with these issues, but I am sure either time, things will change." Azura just shrugged as she did not know what to say to that. "So I've rented a small one bedroom, one bathroom until for you." She widened her eyes in shock. "I want you to be safe. I know you think you're fourteen, but from what I'm understanding..."

"Yes, yes, I know!" Azura interrupts bluntly. "I'm an infant." She shrugged his hand off and turned to the side abruptly, folding her arms. "I'm still getting used to the idea."

Cliffjumper chuckled loudly. "Spoken like an infant sparkling."

She rolled her eyes with a groan. "Regardless, you need to be safe. While the decepticons are not in Nevada looking for you, you still need refuge. And I'm able to ensure that until you decide to return to the autobots. Even if it takes years."
