Hannah's POV

My full name is Hannah Rose Lee and I am fourteen years old, my home now is in the forests of Nevada because I never had anyone there who knew me nor is looking for me though. For the past ten years of my life my mother and father abused me when they got into a drunken rage and neglected me while my brother Seth got better treatment. I knew they only wanted boys, not girls I knew this is why they hurt me on a regular basis until I turned ten I ran away from that hell hole and knew I should never return there. I made my way to the forests and had been living there for a long time, even my teachers never knew about it because I enrolled in the school system myself, at least it is easy too. I manage to stay out of trouble because I don't want my real parents to find me in fear of getting hurt again. Somehow I knew something was going to change in my life, I don't know how or when it will ever happen in my fourteen year old life in the four years living in the forest where it was peaceful and the sounds of nature always put me to sleep. Then one night I heard an unusual sound, the sound of gears shifting and a strong powerful baritone voice muttering something about energon, I crept closer to the sound and hid in the bushes. What I saw frightened me, the creature was tall, with blue and red colors as its paint job, had tires near its feet, a broad chest and shining blue eyes. The huge size was what scared me the most but I knew I had to stay hidden and was careful to not make a sound as the metal leviathan continued to walk toward my hiding place. I froze knowing how close it was to me, I was scared out of my mind and then it turned to where I was, "I know you are here little one. I won't hurt you.", called the giant with a tender voice. I didn't emerge because I was scared of the giant, I felt very small compared to it "please little one come out. I didn't mean to frighten you.," came the giant's soft voice again. I finally decided to come out of hiding because his voice convinced me the leviathan wasn't going to hurt me, I slowly came out of hiding as the giant knelt down to get a better look at me.

Optimus Prime's POV

I decided to go on patrol for decepticons when I found an energon deposit on my radar as I approached a forest and I thought as soon as I got deeper in the forest I started to get warmer to the source when I heard a tiny sound. Slowly I walked to the source figuring it was a small organic that lived in the forest, but I decided to turn my inferred on and to my surprise the heat signature was human, a youngling is my best guess by the size. "I know you are here little one. I won't hurt you." I said as gently as I could still the little one stayed where they were I knew the small human was afraid of me, "please little one come out. I didn't mean to frighten you." I said once again and sure enough the human came out of their hiding place. I noticed right away the small human was a femme but my thoughts were on what she was doing here, I got down on one knee to get a better look of the small being, "why are you out here alone little one?" I asked "I live out here.", replied the little human femme "Do you have a name little one." I ask, "Yes, my name is Hannah Lee.", said Hannah. "Hannah does anyone know you are even here?" I ask, "No, it's just me and I have lived here for four years." "Hannah it is not safe for you to be here alone and since I know you know of my existence I need you to come with me." I calmly replied. "Do you have a name." asked Hannah "My name is Optimus Prime, I am an automus robotic organism also known an autobot.

Hannah's POV

I hesitated over the offer but who knows Optimus seems rather nice for a big guy and if he wanted to hurt me he would have done so and I decided to go with him, didn't have anything to lose by doing so. "I guess I should go with you Optimus." I replied giving my response to his offer "Come with me Hannah and I will take you back to base." Optimus answered by transforming into a big rig, I gotta admit it was an awesome vehicle though, it was hard for me to get into him though since the truck was so big and I was a tiny girl. With his help I was able to get into his vehicle form and soon he took me back to where he was staying, soon we reached his destination and I felt scared about running into the huge boulder in Optimus' path. To my surprise it opened to reveal a long tunnel and into a huge room, I then spied a large red and white bot, a yellow one with black parts of paint on him, a smaller blue bot, a red bot with horns on his head and a hulking green bot. Optimus transformed around me and before I knew it I was in his hand, "Optimus, what are doing with that human?", asked the red and white bot "She saw me Ratchet and I felt the presence of a decipticon, I couldn't leave her out there." Optimus replied as he set me down on the catwalk. The yellow one looked at me, "Prime knows best Ratchet and besides Bee seems to like her.", agreed the blue one. I just stayed silent not looking at any of the bots "I think she's cute Arcee and bedsides she seems scared. "Hey kid.", said the red bot with the horns my name is Cliffjumper, the yellow autobot is Bumblebee, the smaller femme is Arcee my partner, the big green guy is Bulkhead and the white and red one is Ratchet out medic.", Cliffjumper said to me. I look up at him in the eyes but Ratchet was giving me a look and I turned away from his gaze then Optimus walked up to me, picked me up and set me on his shoulder. "She seems rather quiet Prime.", noted Arcee and Bee feels like he found someone like him, mute.

Optimus POV

I noticed how silent Hannah was and figured she was just adjusting to her new life with me and my autobots although I rubbed her back with a finger to reassure her we were not going to hurt her, "Hannah can you tell us why you lived out in the forest and please little one I can sense your discomfort." I said gently to her and then she finally cracked and told me on how her creators abused her while her brother got better treatment than she ever got, I was going to assign Cliffjumper as her guardian but I wanted to be hers. I felt that the small human needed me since she knew me the longest and when she finished why she was living in the forest alone Ratchet looked angrier than I had ever seen him, Cliffjumper, Arcee and Bulkhead had disgusted looks on their face plates and Bumblebee had a sympathetic look in his eyes. "Hannah I will be your guardian and I promise I will protect you little one." I gently murmured as I held her in my hand. "We will protect her"., declared Cliffjumper "yeah and we will have a lot of fun too.", responded Bulkhead "Same here.", replied Arcee, "Sure and I will not be the youngest cause it will be like having a little sibling" answered Bumblebee. Ratchet didn't say anything other than deciding to go back to working on the ground bridge. I know Hannah will get used to being in the base and being around me and my autobots at some point, I think we need to let her settle in.
