First Off Thanks To Everyone For The Encouraging Reviews

(I don't own Transformers, just Shadowrunner(Amber). Heads up Tarn and Amber(Shadowrunner) share a moment, but nothing too bad.)

Ch3 : Talking

**Normal POV**

Amber started to follow Tarn back through the forest. She noticed that Tarn was trying getting use to the terrain, so he was constantly stopping to get his footing or to stop himself from slipping.

"wow.." Amber heard Tarn say to himself as he stumbled a bit, "WOW!" Tarn had stepped on a loose rock and went sliding down the side of the mountain. Finally, meeting the bottom. Amber followed downward carefully to see if Tarn was ok. When she got down to him, she saw him standing back up.

"Ow," was all he said as he rubbed his helm and back from the long slide down. He turned as he heard Amber coming down.

"Are you ok?" she managed to ask Tarn in a somewhat worried voice. Tarn just looked at her with curious eyes no one ever asked him if he was ok like that.

"I'm fine. That was fun. How you managed to get this far without sliding like I just did is amazing," Tarn sarcastically answered her along with a sigh.

"I'm use to it, because I used to live in an area like this. Lots of trees, rocks, and deep slopes. Plus, I learned from Storm and the other mustangs how to navigate and walk in these types of terrains," she spoke as her hands debated on whether or not to touch him as to get him to sit back down, "Now sit back down and rest for a minute your head and back should feel better."

Tarn looked at her for a minute and then listened to her and sat back down as he was told.

"Cute and smart, what a combo," Tarn paused for a second, "Who's Storm? What's a mustang?"

"Storm was my mustang that I adopted when he was about 2yrs old and had him every day since. A mustang is a type of horse. They're very smart and hardy horses. They know rough land well," Amber answered him, but then it hit her.

"Where's Storm?" she yelled making Tarn jump.

"What's wrong?" Tarn asked confused. He saw a panicked looked on her face as she started looking around.

"It's Storm. I was riding him when those assholes captured me," Amber was now in a complete panic, "The last think I remember was him falling to the ground well I was on to him."

"On him. Well you defiantly where not always cybertronian," Tarn replied just watching her have a full out panic attack. Then they both heard a snort and the movement of rocks of something coming down where Tarn had slide.

"Storm! You're ok," Amber went straight for the mustang coming down the side of the mountain. Just cuddling the mustang in her arm, came back over to Tarn. Tarn recognized the horse from the creature he saw earlier.

"Long time no see, Storm," Tarn stated sarcastically as he then turned his gaze back to Amber, "If I known this was who you were talking I would have told you I saw him earlier."

Amber looked at Tarn then back to the mustang in her arms.

"I hope you realize you can't take him with us," Tarn spoke in a gentle voice realizing the bond between them. It was a long pause before she spoke with a voice full of sadness that surprised Tarn a bit, "I know. All I needed to know was that he was ok."

"Well bud, guess what. You can go back home now," Amber said as her hands came and gently as she could undo the bridle and saddle, "Now go home now. Whether it be the wild or back at the farm."

Storm just looked up at her. Her looks may have changed but her gentle voice didn't. It was his rider, his friend, and his sister it was Amber.

As hard as it was Amber moved her arms to let the horse jump down and just looked at Amber then Tarn and snorted before taking off. Amber couldn't help, but feel a piece of her heart break at that moment. She felt something warm run down her face. Was she crying? She didn't even know she could in her new body.

"Great, the last thing I need Mr. Intimating see me do is cry," Amber thought to herself. That's when she heard Tarn move behind her. In reaction she turned her head a little, only to by Tarn's hand wiping away the tears from her face, "No more of that now."

"Why are you being so nice to me? Especially after what you did to those people," she asked him looking away from him.

"Maybe because you're cooperating with me so nicely, which is a rarity, believe me. Then again maybe it's, because you're a femme that I like," Tarn answered her sweetly. Taking his hand away from the side of her face to under her chin to make her look at him.

"Time to go. The others will be getting ideas. If you catch my drift," Tarn said with an amused look in his eyes.

"Wow, metal or skin it doesn't matter. I guess all guys are the same on a certain level," Amber thought to herself.

"I guess so," she replied keeping her thought to herself. Tarn moved his hand as he stood up and then held out his hand to her to help her up.

"Now for the fun part," sarcasm covered Tarn's voice as he spoke well looking up the mountain, "Well fun getting back up at least."

"You really don't like mountains do you?" Amber asked him when she heard his tone.

"Oh, no I give your planet credit for having beautiful areas such as this," Tarn answered her. Tarn walked over to the base of the mountain where he finished his slide at and turned back to Amber and said, "Ladies First."

"Ummm….Thanks I guess. Be careful not to slide again," Amber started back up, "Wait…. why don't you want to go first."

It took Tarn a minute to answer her trying to mask sarcasm, "So I can see how to climb up. That if I slide again it's not you I slide onto"

"Climb up or to have a better view?," Amber asked as she started to hike up.

"Did I really just ask him that? Stupid," Amber mentally smacked herself. She could have just sunk to the ground.

"Well you said it not me," Tarn answered her no longer hiding his sarcasm. Amber didn't need to see behind his mask or the slit at the bottom to know he was smiling. She just turned back to climbing and rolled her optics.

"If only you weren't ten times my size," Amber whispered to herself as she continued back up the mountain.

"What?" Tarn asked catching that she said something to herself.

"Nothing," Amber was quick to respond. Yet it distracted her enough not to notice the lose rock she found, causing her to slide right under Tarn.

"And you were worried about me sliding," Tarn laughed at her.

"Wow. I'm super uncomfortable right now," Amber just cringed under Tarn. In her opinion the closer she got to the rock face and away from Tarn's body the better. Causing Tarn to laugh at her more.

"This is going to be a long climb back up," Amber thought.

"You can come out any time now, not that I mind," Tarn finally spoke, "I thought you said you knew how to navigate rough areas.

"Shut up," was all Amber could muster as she climbed back up and out from under Tarn, "Shouldn't we be going."

"You're a treat you realize that," Tarn responded as he watched her climb out from under him.

"You're not helping," was all Amber could say.

Author's Note: Well Tarn and Amber(Shadowrunner) seems to of hit it off. Though I have a feeling I might be changing the rating on the story. Well if I do I be sure to let you guys know if and when it happens.
