Chapter Three,

A Guardian Robot:

"You know each other?" the white and orange robot, Ratchet, asked. Staring at the two humans who were pointing at each other in shock. Nyx mouth dropped slightly, she looked between the robots and Jack.

"We've met," Jack told the robot, looking at Nyx's face, seeking for a reaction from the female.

"Three times now," Nyx remarked getting out of her trance of shock, staring at Jack, "You told me you were going to work, you didn't tell me, and i'm guessing for good reason, you were going to a….military base?"

"You are correct, it's a old bunker," Jack remarked, looking around before his gaze met Nyx's, "Also how is your work in a middle of a cornfield?"

"It's in the woods, I go there and come back at Midnight," Nyx told him, "I like Nature."

"That makes no sense, the nature part is but how you get to work doesn't," Jack told Nyx, his hands were in front of him as he talked, "Why not go through the wood's itself?"

"First off, I like to walk in the cornfields, i'm in a pattern. Second off, i'm one of the few teenagers who love to do exercise. Plus," Nyx explained before she smirked evilly, "What fun is there in making sense?"

"Nothing, It's annoying!" Jack shouted throwing his hands into the air, making Miko chuckle slightly she tried to cover it up with a hand over her mouth, "Shut up Miko!"

"Your not going to win Jack," Nyx told him, her arms weren't cross instead she put them on her left hand, she had her right hand hanging loosely at her side, "I've argue my way out of situations worse than this."

Jack watched her with interest, noting how her pain was evident in posture. He saw the wounds on her cheeks and the bruise on her hand, which were covered by bandages. Nyx felt like he was staring at the wounds caused by the young vampire, making her feel nervous. She didn't want to explain what happened to her hand or how the cuts on her cheek looked feral. She glanced at Jack, her eyes showed nothing of her growing anxiety, more of a challenge. A challenge that he shouldn't take.

Jack sighed after a couple seconds passed, "We'll talk about this later."

"How about never?" Nyx asked, mentally sighing in relief that Jack didn't find out about her job in life, she turned her eyes to the robots.

The red, blue, and silver one watched her movements as the orange and white robot saw her bandaged hand. His optics widen as he saw both her cheeks were scratched and bandaged, she was wincing from the invisible pain of her mark burning on her skin. The Orange and white robot remarked, "Nyx, if that even is your name, you need to get your wounds treated."

Nyx winced again as she tried to hide her wounded hand, she waved her left hand trying to shoo the medic away, "It's nothing, I just….bruised it when I was doing my job."

The red, blue, and silver robot blue optics widened in shock by her simple dismissal. He looked at the orange and white robot, he told him in a stern voice, "Ratchet, take care of her wounds."

"I'm fine sir," Nyx told the red, blue, and silver robot, trying to remind them that she still there, "It just needs-"

"Ice," Ratchet finished her sentence, "She needs rest and ice on that hand of her's for a couple hours."

"Which I can get the ice and the rest once i'm home," Nyx remarked, her attitude was getting on Ratchet's nerves as he stared at the female in front of him. She looked at each of the robots, "I know I sound rude but I really must go. I have some…..business to attend to."

"What kinda business?" Miko asked, curiosity getting the best.

"My business," Nyx replied, "I can't say anymore."

Miko nodded, Nyx was hiding her secrets and choose her words carefully. She was treading on a dangerous line, if He found out….Nyx mentally shivered in fear, closing her eyes pushing back the memories, not realizing that her hand went to her heart. Till the red, blue, and silver one asked, "Are you alright, young one?"

She opened her eyes, noticing the worried looks she was receiving. She pushed back her rising emotions, she couldn't tell them at least not yet. She smiled as she looked at them, "I'm fine. It's just…I remembered something. Oh wait."

Nyx took a step forward at the robots, she asked softly looking at each of the robots, "I forgot to ask, what are your names?"

"My name is Bulkhead," Nyx's gaze saw a green robot with light blue optics, he was very large and she could tell that he was the strongest out of all the robots. He pounded his fist in front of him.

"Nice to meet you Bulkhead," Nyx told the robot, turning her head to Bumblebee and the female blue and pink robot.

"You know me," Bumblebee honked, it sounded a bit like a laugh.

Nyx smiled to herself as she chuckled, covering her mouth with her left hand, "I guess I do."

"The name is Arcee," the blue and pink robot smiled at Nyx, as she glanced at the female robot. She cold tell from a distance that she was very agile and probably the most athletic out of the robots.

"Nice to meet you too Arcee," Nyx replied kindly, she looked again at another robot. This one was orange and white. He seemed like the medic in Nyx's eyes.

He looked at her as she smiled kindly at him, he sighed, "The name is Ratchet."

Nyx smiled as she replied, "Nice to meet you too, Ratchet."

Miko smiled at her, covering her hand as she whispered, "Also known as Crazy Doc Bot."

Nyx looked at her strangely before Nyx looked at Ratchet. Ratchet rose a eye ridge as she shrugged from his nickname given by the humans. She seemed unfazed by his nickname, plus she didn't have the right to tease him since she had her share of nicknames. She looked at the last robot in the room, a certain red, blue, and silver robot who let all the rest of the robots take a turn of introducing themselves. Nyx could tell that he was respective, honorable, and responsible. Some good qualities of a great leader, which if she would've guessed he was the leader of the robots.

The red, blue, and silver robot lowered himself to her level, they looked at each other. Eye to optic, he told her, "My name is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots from the planet Cybertron. We"

"Nice to meet you Optimus Prime, my name is Nyx Fairchild," Nyx replied, hiding her full title, but yet smiled at the robots.

"Optimus, I think it is unwise for Nyx to be sent home without a guardian," Ratchet told his leader, his voice sounded a bit weary.

Nyx was sleeping slightly on a plain tan couch which faced a TV, her homework scattered around her and on a oak coffee table. Jack and Miko were watching Raf as he cleansed the conspiracy site once again on his computer. Nyx moved slightly as she slept, her pencil still slightly in her hand. Jack snickered as he looked to Nyx, who managed to throw the pencil in her sleep at Jack, who ducked.

"I agree old friend," Optimus told Ratchet his eyes set on the young woman sleeping, his gaze switch to the green screen as he watched some signs pass.

Ratchet smiled at the young woman sleeping form, as he remarked, "She should return home. Her body needs rest to heal."

"That still doesn't fix the problem yet," Optimus glanced as Nyx breathing slowed to show that she was sleeping peacefully.

"I know Optimus but who would become her guardian?" Ratchet remarked, glancing at the leader of the Autobots, "Arcee, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead are already guarding the other human children, plus the Decepticons might think of her as a enemy now since she charged at a Decepticon soldier."

"Do you believe that they would use her against us?" Optimus asked, tearing his gaze from the green screen to looking at Ratchet, who was watching another smaller green screen.

"If they think of her as an ally, they could torture her for information," Ratchet explained his theory more, Optimus nodded. He understood the situation perfectly, Ratchet didn't need to explain anything more to him. He had to decide what to do and quickly, Nyx looked around seventeen years old and Optimus knew that someone would have to pick her up if she went to school. Yet what Ratchet said made sense to the Prime, he couldn't ask the others to take on another human. Which left Ratchet and him left to guard the newest human, Nyx.

He sighed to himself, thinking, "Why do you play with me, Primus?"

Nyx eyes flew open by the sound of a very loud electric guitar playing a very high pitch. She fell off the couch with a yelp, which caused a loud thud to ring out throughout the Autobot base. Ratchet turned to the human as though to see if she was alright, instead he saw her grab her chest where her heart. Before she whipped her head around at the guitar Miko was holding, Ratchet saw her take deep breaths as she slowed down her heart rate. She groaned as Miko played another note on her guitar, before she grabbed a pillow and placed it on her head as though it would block the music from reaching her ears. Nyx covered herself in the blanket and tried desperately to go to sleep.

Ratchet muttered, "Amazing song choice, Miko."

Nyx sighed as Miko played another note on her guitar, a very high C note, which caused Nyx to grit her teeth in pain as her sensitive ears throbbed. Werewolves and Vampires have very sensitive hearing, which is one of the many reasons they can hunt and survive by themselves daily. Nyx tensed her body as Miko shouted to the lyrics of the song. While the two other boys played their instruments, Bulkhead bobbed to the music as Miko played her guitar part with ease, as though she memorized the song. She groaned in pain softly as her body tensed up more as Miko got into the chorus, which caused Ratchet to look at Nyx. He never seen her move for awhile now from her tensed position, which caused the Medic to look at Nyx in concern. She breathed heavily through her nose as she battled with sleep and pain.

Miko shouted as she finished the song, "Hey, Nyx!"

"What?" Nyx replied, grouchy.

"Geez, you sound like Ratchet," Miko told Nyx who rolled her eyes, Ratchet's optics switched to the Japanese femme, Miko asked Nyx, "What do you play instrument wise?"

"Piano, Fiddle, Violin, Guitar, and Drums are the main ones I know how to play in my sleep," Nyx told Miko, which caused everyone to look at her, "I also can play other instruments like Harp and Organ. Why?"

"Harp and Organ?" Miko asked shocked, "Dude, Slash Monkey's music is better than a Harp or Organ."

"Yes, I guess in your opinion, but I'm more into the value of the music," Nyx told Miko, "You want to get the feel of the song and play it as though it's your very heart and soul."

"Slash Monkey has value!" Miko shouted, getting annoyed by her facts.

"Whatever," Nyx chuckled to herself as Miko huffed, "Anyways, why were you wondering about my skills in music?"

"I was wondering if you can play, but I want to see you have the talent first to join our band," Miko smirked, Nyx looked at her confused.

Nyx sighed as she realized that Miko meant business, she looked at Ratchet, "Do you have a piano anywhere on base?"

"What?!" Miko asked, shocked that Nyx would take the challenge so easily.

"Uh, I think we do," Ratchet replied to Nyx.

Nyx smiled, asking politely, "Ratchet, can you please get me a piano, please?"

Ratchet smiled at her politeness, "Yes, I can."

He left to grab the piano which was in another room across the med bay, Nyx smiled as she grabbed a stool and brought it down the stairs. Trying not to fall down, she lifted it over her shoulders and used the railing to help her lead her down the the first floor. Nyx placed the stool near the drum set before turning herself in the direction Ratchet went to look for the piano. Ratchet found the piano buried amongst some boxes behind the Med bay, he picked it up carefully with his left servo, not trying to destroy it. Nyx smiled as she watched the others open mouthed as Ratchet came back, with the piano in his left servo, and placed it next to the drum set carefully and delicately.

She turned to Ratchet with a smile as she sat on the seat, "Thank you Ratchet."

"Your welcome Nyx," Ratchet replied, walking back to the Med bay, to work on his records.

Nyx turned to face Bulkhead and the three humans, she asked "Do you want me to sing?"

"Sure why not," Jack replied leaning onto the railing.

Miko snickered as Nyx stretched her fingers, "This is going to be sweet."

Miko brought out her phone, as she pressed record. Nyx started to play on the piano, her hands flying over the keys as she played the intro to "A Thousand Miles."

Nyx took a deep breath as she sung in a honey voice, "Makin' my way downtown, walking fast. Faces pass, and i'm home bound."

Her hands were still flying on the keys as Bulkhead's optics widen, Nyx sung the next verse with her eyes closed, "Staring blankly ahead. Just makin' my way, just makin' a way through the crowd."

"And I need you. And I miss you. And Now I wonder," Nyx sung the chorus with passion as her hands flew across the keys playing the piano beautifully, Ratchet turned around to look at her as she sung, "If I could fall, into the sky. Do you think time, will pass me by? Because you know I'd walk a Thousand Miles if I could just. See. You. Tonight."

She played the piano part of a Thousand Miles, her hands seem to fly across the keys as though she was painting a picture. Miko's mouth dropped to the floor as Jack's and Raf's eyes widen as she simply looked down at her hands. Miko was still recording her as Arcee and Bumblebee turned to watch the scene unfold.

Nyx smiled as she sung the next verse, "It's always times like these. When I think of you. And wonder if you ever think of me."

Nyx touched the keys lightly as though they were fragile but managed to keep pace to the song, "Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong. Livin' in your precious memory."

"Cause I need you. And I miss you. And Now I wonder," Nyx sung the chorus again, causing everyone's eyes/optics to widen in shock as she sung in her honey voice. Letting it smooth their sparks and souls, "If I could fall, into the sky. Do you think time, will pass me by? Because you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just. See. You. Tonight."

Her hands flew over the keys as Optimus turned almost in awe as she played the hook, everyone didn't notice their leader's movements, to entrapped in Nyx's voice and music to noticed, "I, I, don't want to let you know. I, I, drown in your memory. I, I don't want to let this go. I, I don't."

"Makin' my way downtown. Walking fast. Faces pass and I'm homebound," Nyx sung, her hands softly landing on the keys as she played, making Optimus interested. Turning around to give Nyx his full attention, Nyx sung the next part of the hook, "Staring Blankly ahead. Just makin' my way, makin' my way through the crowd."

"And I still need you. And I still miss you. And now I wonder," She played and sung to the melody of her song as though it was her heart and soul, Optimus spark lightened up as he listened,"If I could fall into the sky, do you think time will pass us by? Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles. If I could just see you…."

She again sung the final chorus, Nyx smiled as she remembered the heart of the song, "If I could fall into the sky, do you think time will pass me by? Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you. If I could just hold you."

"Tonight," As she finished the song, Optimus spark felt heavy again as though her honey singing voice was forever gone. She pressed the final keys, not noticing that everyone was awed that she finished the song without making a mistake.

She opened her eyes, turning on her stool at the astounded Miko, the awed Autobots, and the surprised Raf and Jack. She tilt her head to the side as she asked, a bit of a shy tone in her voice, "Too much?"

"Not at all," Miko whispered, she smirked as she ended the recording, "That. Was. Awesome!"

Nyx was surrounded by clapping by all except Optimus who nodded in approval, he watched as he saw Nyx blush from embarrassment. Miko flipped her phone away as she hugged Nyx, Nyx eyes widened at the action, before Raf and Jack enveloped her in a hug. Her face became crismon as she blushed, Ratchet chuckled to himself at the rising embarrassment in Nyx.

"Wait," Nyx turned to Miko, she asked realizing that Miko's phone was nowhere in sight, "Did you record me, the whole time I was singing?"

"Yeah, you were amazing," Miko replied.

Nyx's face became crimson as she covered her face with her hands, she muttered loud enough that Miko, Raf, and Jack mouths dropped, "I just learned that song last Monday."

Optimus smiled to himself as he saw Miko, Raf, and Jack "Hanging" with their guardians. Arcee was talking to Jack in enjoyment, as they were now partners. Bumblebee had made Raf agree to another round of video games. While Bulkhead and Miko were going to have some fun at a Monster Truck rally nearby of Jasper, Nevada tomorrow, both were talking excitedly about the trucks they would see. Optimus was allowing them to have some freedom with their respective charges, he turned to see that Nyx was sitting on the couch. Her feet were tucked under her as she read her book. He read the cover and the title, "The Werewolf of Moon Valley."

Nyx sighed as she saw from the corner of her eyes that everyone left her to go and talk, she knew that she would have to tell Luke something about this problem. Which ever guardian robot she got, she would have to use as her excuse. She sighed mentally before she went back into her book, where a fight scene between two characters was about to take place. She was so entrapped in reading that she didn't hear Optimus walk over by her or even when Optimus looked over her shoulder to see what she was reading.

A loud shout woke Nyx back into the real world by Ratchet, "BULKHEAD I NEEDED THAT!"

She slammed her hardcover book onto her nose in shock, to entrapped in the book to notice that Ratchet was beside the Med bay and her, yelling at the large green robot who broke a medical tool in excitement of the Monster Truck Rally. Optimus turned his helm at the medic, before he returned his gaze at Nyx when he heard Nyx groan as she rubbed her nose, as she tried to make the throbbing go away, he was confused by the female's actions. Her book was close to her chest, some pages crinkled up.

Optimus asked softly to Nyx, "Are you okay?"

Nyx turned her gaze to Optimus who was beside her, her eyes were a bit watery as she replied, "Y-yeah, I'm fine. I just hurt myself."

"Why would you hurt yourself?" Optimus asked, a bit worried by her words.

She chuckled, as she waved her hands in dismal, "No, I wouldn't hurt myself on purpose, it was an accident. I reacted from the shock of Ratchet's yelling. Slamming my book, which is hardcover, onto my nose. I'm fine, really I am."

Optimus nodded in a bit of understanding of her actions, she chuckled as she wiped her hands on her eyes, wiping away the few tears that formed at the edges of her eyes. Optimus again looked at her, she seemed the most calm out of everyone he met. Including Ratchet, Optimus thought of his choices of a guardian for Nyx before he smiled at the young female as she turned back into her book, flipping the pages until she got onto the part she was on. She smiled to herself as she silently read to herself at the fight scene intensified.

Optimus turned his helm to a clock, he saw the time tick slowly to eight thirty. Nyx sighed as she placed her book down and followed Optimus's gaze to the clock. He didn't notice that Nyx placed her book down or even when she shifted slightly to stare at the clock. He did notice when she sighed, "Eight thirty is almost here huh?"

Optimus glanced down, as he replied, "It is."

Optimus heard a soft groan as Nyx rubbed her bruised hand, it was starting to bother her with it's throbbing. Optimus saw the action as she rubbed it, he turned to Ratchet who was still trying to fix the tool that Bulkhead destroyed. Nyx looked at the scene and Chuckled to herself before she turned to Ratchet, she asked, "Hey Ratchet, need any help?"

"No," Ratchet replied, he looked at Nyx and saw her rubbing her hand, his eyes narrowed as he remarked, "You need to get ice on that hand of yours, young lady."

Nyx sighed, "I know that, Doc 'bot."

"Primus pardon me," Ratchet passed a smile, but was witholding a smirk as he saw her arms cross, Optimus was withholding every urge to show his emotion and desperately kept a straight face.

Nyx turned her face to the Prime, she told him, "Who's going to suppose, 'Guard me', Miko asked about it earlier and i'm curious now."

Ratchet froze for a second, every conversation stopped as Autobots and humans alike turned to Optimus to hear his decision of Nyx's guardian. Ratchet looked to the Autobot leader, he saw some qualities in Nyx that he hadn't seen in the other humans. Like Respect, Wisdom, and Politeness when needed. Otherwise she would be a bit harsh if she felt disrespected or if someone she cared about was in trouble, she would risk her own body to protect them then herself. Ratchet mentally smiled to himself, he seemed to think of a familiar friend who acts the same way. Arcee also notice that she seemed to have a lot of secrets following her, she thought more as she looked at the Autobot leader, she seemed a lot like Optimus Prime and the secrets he holds that even to this day she finds out still. Bumblebee agreed with Arcee as did Bulkhead about Nyx being a bit like Optimus Prime but for different reasons, Bumblebee because she could understand him and also because of her fearlessness when she faced off a Decepticon to save him from being blown to shreds. Bulkhead believed differently due to her respective nature, she spoke as though she was meant to be kind to people and other beings. Miko, Jack, and Raf both saw a quality that seemed a lot like Optimus Prime himself, wisdom, respect, politeness, and most of all leadership. She seemed to have been a leader and had learned after her mistakes and choices. Optimus debated to himself if the choice he made as her guardian was the right one. Optimus turned his gaze to his friend, Ratchet, both talked about it before when everyone was to busy to listen.

Optimus watched as Ratchet sighed at him, he nodded his approval at his decision, he lowered himself to Nyx's eye level as he responded, "I shall be your guardian."

"I still can't believe that you got Boss bot as a guardian!" Miko shouted at Nyx for the sixth time.

Nyx smiled, "I guess it is shocking to you, but it's quite confusing to me."

Nyx was talking with Miko, while Raf and Jack played a video game beside the two on the tan couch. Jack flipped his phone out once, when Nyx asked him what the time was, it was reaching ten o'clock at night which worried Nyx. She wanted to be home to tell Luke not to call the school, as soon as possible. Maybe Luke found out where HE was hiding or where he was going to summon the, whatever.

Miko squealed, "You are even sounding like him!"

"I don't think that sounds like Optimus," Nyx felt awkward at the moment, being compared to a leader of robots when she, herself, was a leader of werewolves was a bit frightening to Nyx. Her secret felt like it was rising to the light. Her heart was thudding a bit faster than she liked, she smiled as she looked to the right slightly, "I should probably get home soon. Optimus are you busy right now? I wish to be home before ten thirty."

"Aw, but we were just getting to know you too," Miko pouted, crossing her arms over her chest. Raf and Jack looked over at Nyx who leaned down to place stuff in her backpack, grabbing the school supplies that were around her, in her bag.

"You can get to know me as time goes on, it is the best method," Nyx told the three of them, causing four pairs of blue optics to widen as she gripped her backpack with her hand left hand, "Besides, you don't know a lot about me as much as I don't know a lot about you, it's a learning process between us. All of us."

Nyx turned to Optimus, who transformed into his alt mode, a red and blue peterbilt semi. Nyx slung her blue and black backpack over her shoulders, she looked over at them as she told the rest, making Optimus feel amazed by the sudden wisdom in her, as he opened the passenger door, "Besides, what is there in life without a bit of mystery in it, hm?"

"Where do you live, young one?" Optimus asked, coming to the edges of Jasper.

"Call me by Nyx, Optimus," Nyx told Optimus, looking at his radio, she looked up once, "You can take the next left to get to my house, it's a bit farther away from the base. Almost across town."

"I understand," Optimus told Nyx, while he drove. On the next intersection, he took a left like Nyx told him, a comfortable silence followed after he did the turn.

Nyx asked him, staring at the talking radio, "So….your the leader of the Autobots?"

"Yes, I am," Optimus replied, he was still driving down the long winding road.

"So you command the Autobots, and by your behavior, you treat them with respect," Nyx told Optimus, who almost braked fast when he heard her say that, yet she wasn't done, "You seem to have a higher regard-take a right here on the next turn-on the health of this planet, and for a good cause. I like that."

Optimus was a bit numbed by her words, followed her directions to her house in silence. Nyx noticed the silence and asked the radio as though she was talking to his face, "And Modest it seems too, that is a good quality for leader if you ask me."

Optimus again desperately tried not to brake at her compliments, he told her, "Thank you, Nyx. Where should I turn to now?"

Nyx looked at the road and smiled, "We made it in good time, take a left on this road. Once you reach the end of this road, take another left, than a right when you reach the next intersection up here. Did you get that?"

"Yes I did," Optimus replied.

When he turned on the left street, Nyx told him, "Thank you, Optimus."

"For what?" Optimus asked, confused by her gratitude.

"For helping me get home," Nyx replied, as Optimus again turned left on the street, "And also, for taking me up as a charge. I feel like you have a lot to do, so taking me up must've been putting your plans on a stand still. So I thank you for taking some time out for guarding me."

"Your welcome," Optimus replied.

It was silent before he turned right, Nyx spoke up, "My house is the blue one with the white lining on the left side of the street."

Optimus looked for the house on the street and spotted it quickly, the house was surrounded by fields and a farm was across the street. The barn on the farm looked the most horrible, the doors and walls were losing their paint. The roof looked caved in and one of the walls looked like it caved in from a blunt force from the outside. Two tractors were outside of the barn, the left tractor was a orange and rusting but was otherwise intact. The right tractor was green but the front of the tractor was destroyed, the metal crinkled like tinfoil, making Optimus shiver with fear. He looked at the tractors, as he thought, "What happened to this farm?"

His thoughts scattered as he heard Nyx remarked, "Were fixing the place up, the last owner didn't know what he was doing and so he decided to put mr. Green sandwich over there into the left wall of the barn. The roof caved in a couple of days ago, due to the mold and rot that took over the wood in the roof. Mr. Orange over there needs a new engine and some new metal. And the farm itself needs a makeover, badly."

Optimus heard the story of the barn and farm, and replayed it in his head as he looked at the house, the house had blue siding with a black roof. White lining lined the house and it's windows, there were two balconies that he could see. One near the top of the roof pointing to the northeast on the north side of the house and the other on top of a white balcony that was pointing southward. The windows were slightly dirty from dust. Optimus glanced over to see a blue and white garage on a gravel driveway, a red mustang convertible was parked. Automatically Optimus thought of Knockout, and quickly scanned the car for any sign of it being a decepticon. Thankfully he didn't sense any decepticon signals, but as he was about to pull into the driveway Optimus nearly stopped as he heard a snap from a unbuckling of the seatbelt. Nyx slithered into the driver seat, buckling herself again.

Her next actions surprised him, she gripped the wheel lightly and whispered to him, "Luke can't know that you are living. Would you mind if I drove you for awhile?"

"No, not at all," Optimus replied, letting her take over him, he materialized keys in the ignition, Nyx smiled before she pressed her foot lightly on the gas passing her house driveway slightly before she looked behind her.

It was weird for Optimus for him not to be driving, but she was gentle on him. She gently moved the car in reverse as she backed him up in the driveway. Optimus felt at ease as she backed him up beside the red convertible mustang. Optimus watched the red mustang carefully as she unbuckled herself from the seatbelts, she exited Optimus by opening his door and carefully closing it.

Optimus watched as she walked to the porch before the white paneled door slammed open, causing her to jump back with fright. She pressed her right hand on top of her heart, as a six foot tall blonde haired man with onyx colored eyes shouted, "Nyx Selene Fairchild! Where have you been?!"

Nyx gasped, "By the Greek gods Luke, you scared me half to death! Hades almost got my soul today!"

"You nearly gave me a heart attack, and you know that's impossible. You are so lucky that I am being kind, now get inside the house!" Luke grabbed her right arm with his left hand and pulled her inside, Luke's eyes bulged out of his sockets making his grip slacken, allowing Nyx to dart inside, Luke noticed Optimus was parked next to the red mustang, he turned his head inside looking at Nyx who was desperately trying to get up the stairs but froze when she heard Luke speak in a low and frightening voice, "Young lady, can you tell me why there is a PETERBILT TRUCK OUTSIDE IN MY DRIVEWAY!?"

Nyx groaned facepalming her forehead with her good left hand, "It's a long story."

"I have time to hear your LONG story, Nyx," Luke growled, tapping his foot, "And you know I do."

Nyx sighed, Luke believed the story that she got in a tangle of forestry and she stumbled upon Optimus alt form, the peterbilt truck. She told him that she was at school, but she was introduced into a science fiction club and that she won't do the patrols anymore because the club was interesting. Luke agreed that Nyx should stay with the science fiction club, due to her way of not interacting with people or developing friendships due to her fear, Luke decided to take the patrols along with two of there friends. Once they arrived, he said.

Nyx looked at Optimus before she smiled to herself, she sighed laying on her bed. She was in her room, it was pointed to the north. Her favorite point of view, due to her being a wolf. Plus the northwind did wonders with her moods and feelings, her room was painted a dark purple. Purple was her favorite color, she liked dark purple, but she loved light purple. Her bed had a lime green covers with her blue pillows, was pushed across the room, facing her door. Her door was a spruce along with the lining in her room. Her balcony doors were two white french doors, with purple designs in them. A wooden vanity was across from her bed, showing a few snow globes from her travels. One was Paris while another was from Alaska, a few others were from other countries. Her backpack was beside a oak bookshelf which held up some of Nyx's favorite tales. Nyx looked to her small black radio, which was on her bedside table where a lamp was, her lamp was light purple and was on. Her purple and blue alarm was on the vanity table, showing it was eleven o'clock. She stretched out on the bed before she got dressed for bed in her closet on the left side of her vanity.

Her clothes were a dark green nightgown with lime green designs, the nightgown reached her calves, she again stretched before she jumped on her bed. She yawned, before she curled up on her bed. She clicked her lamp off, letting the darkness claim her in a comfortable sleep. Optimus watched the light that was in Nyx's room be turned off, he smiled mentally at himself, before he too fell into recharge under the night sky and stars.
