Yes! Chapter three is up and ready to be read! Please R and R!

It had been three months since Talise's little detour to the attack sight at Mission City, and nothing weird had happen since. Early in the morning, on September the first, Talise awoke to the sounds of a piercing alarm.

"Ugg." she said pulling her covers over head. Her first day at her new school, and she was dreading it.

"Talise, get up. You don't want to be late."

"Yes I do."

Will opened the door, a smile on his face as his niece burrowed herself deeper into the comforter.

"Come on get up."

"I think I'm sick." she said coughing. "Its contagious, I should probably stay home today, and the rest of the week."

"Oh dear, I believe you might have a touch of SCS." he said patting her shoulder.

"What?"

"That would be Scardy Cat Syndrome." Will said nodding seriously at his niece.

"Uncle Will."

"You may need a shot, or five."

Talsie felt her eyes get wide. He knew that she absolutely hated/feared needles with a passion.

"Thats not funny." she said throwing off the comforter.

"It is a little bit." He said smiling leaving the room. Grumbling, Talise dressed herself in a pair of dark wash jeans, an olive green shirt, a grey sweater and black flats, and trudged down the stairs. In no time at all, she was in the Topkick, her bag next to her feet, waiting for Will to come out. She would take the bus home at the end of the day.

"I hate this." she grumbled leaning into the leather seat crossing her arms over. The car rumbled lightly, as if to comfort her. Now the car did weird things like this often. The Topkick definitely had it odd quirks, especially when you washed the damn car. It moved whenever one tries to come near it, much less wash it, with cold water, and preferred hot wax to the rub on stuff. Will had her clean it one time, and that had become an all day event.

"Thanks pain in the ass." she said, patting the dashboard affectionately. Talise had dubbed the car that favorable name.

"Okay then, lets move out." Will said hoping in the car. About twenty minutes later, Talise found herself sitting in the principle's office, next to Will. The poor man was utterly disorganized, and had apparently lost her schedule and was now scurrying around the room, attempting to find it.

"Ah, here we are." he said, grabbing a paper from behind a waste bin. "You'd better get going, we have a strict policy about being late to classes."

Nodding Talise walked out of office and stared around. Everyone was milling around in the hallway, some big jocks were tossing around a football, and girls were happily gossiping away, Teacher yelling and talking, and others just stood and leaned against the lockers.

"I'll take those shots now." Talise said turning to Will, who did not help at all by rolling his eyes.

"Really Tali its not that bad. Now I have to go, enjoy your day." he said, giving her quick hug.

"Way to leave me to the sharks." she muttered as he walked off. After finding her locker, Talise managed to make through half her classes without anyone making fun about her newness to the school, or testing her temper until Chemistry. Taking a seat in the back part of the class Talise watched as other students filing in. The teacher, Dr. Howard, walked in and began role call, and of course made a point in welcoming the newbie (herself) out loud and in front of the class.

"Ladies and Gentlemen I do hope you all do your best in making Miss. Lennox feel welcomed to the school." he said sternly. It was kind of hard to take the guy seriously, especially with that orange and yellow polka dot bow tie he was wearing. It was when Talise took out her note book that she heard them, the group she had named the Blondes (Plastics would have been much better but Mean Girls beat her to the punch).

"What is with her outfit?"

There were four of them, each a blonde, two of which were actually brunette's (for their roots were showing quite trashily), and were wearing the short skirts and the high fashion clothes. Their names were not necessary, Talise just dubbed them Blonde #1, 2, and so forth. She sat their all class hearing their snide comments until about her, her clothing, and lack of makeup and accessories.

Talise would send glares back at the girls, but the idiots continued to gossip, as if to purposefully push her. Don't stoop down to their level, don't listen, just focus on the class, Talise thought to herself but the girls voice drilled into her head like a jackhammer to concrete.

"Talise Lennox? Ugg she must live on that farm with those hill billy's."

That last comment did it. Talise could see red. Insult her? Fine no biggie, but her family? That was crossing the line, big time. She clenched her fists, her hand shaking slightly, then.

Crack! Crash! Smash!

The screams from behind her announced to the entire class something had happened. Turning around, Talise saw that several glass vials on the desk had exploded, and sprayed glass everywhere. The two girls were clinging to each other like bats, and eyes wide in fear.

"Nobody panic." said Dr. Howard, rushing forward with a broom and dust pan. Student whispered to the neighbors, asking what happened, but Talise sat still, her eyes looking at the notebook. All the anger she had felt moments ago was trickling away now, and Talise sat their shocked. Had she made the vials explode randomly? No, that was impossible, illogical, something normal people could not do. But the moment she had gotten really mad, the vials exploded, precisely. Thankfully the bell rang, ending class and Talise grabbed her bags and hightailed it out of the room. Moments later she was in the bathroom, looking in the mirror. Everything on the outside looked the same, but something definitely felt different. Talise rubbed her face. She was being stupid, and her head said "You didn't do that, nobody could make thing explode randomly." But her heart was yelling "We did, remember that rock thing? Karma came back to bit us in the ass for our stupidity!" Her frustration grew steadily until, the doors in the stalls bang open, and two of the toilets exploded, water spraying everywhere. Freaking out, Talise ran out of the room down the hallway where books bags flew apart, locks banged open, and papers were flying everywhere. She took to hiding under the stairs, Talise took a couple of deep breaths, attempting to calm herself down. When she left the stairs, students were walking around the lockers and bags, looks of anger, amazement, and confusion. All Talise could do was pray for the day to end. Fortunately it went by quickly, because her little moment in the hallway had destroyed some of her teachers bags as well, and they decided to just let the classes have a fun day. After the end of the day Talise walked out of the school, and down the street hoping to catch the bus. Unknowing to her that she was being followed. Barricade had been perched as the corner of the school waiting for her.

*Barricade to Starscream, I see the girl and it appears as if she is the one radiating All-Spark energy. It must have been her signal I picked up about half a cycle ago.*

*A fleshling? Follow her, the moment she is alone capture her and bring her to me, alive.* Starscream growled through the comm. Snorting at his presumed commanders order, Barricade moved forward blaring his sirens as the girl got on the bus. Meanwhile Talise looked out the window as the buildings and people flashed by. When it stopped, Talise found herself looking out at the half fixed part of the City that had been attack. Did she dare go back? No, last thing she needed to do now was go back and touch something she clearly should not have. She curled up next to the window, feeling miserable. How on earth would she explain this to Uncle Will and Aunt Sarah if they ever found out? What would her mother do? Or worse, what would the government do with her if they ever found out? Talise would probably turn into some sort of freak experiment, with needles poked in her everywhere. The horrible scenario played over and over in her head, until she felt the bus stop. Seeing it was her stop, Talise exited slowly. The thought of going back to the farm was haunting her. Walking down the dirt road, Talise kicked a loan rock down the road until she heard something behind her. Turning around, she saw a black Saleen Police car. It was close, a little too close for comfort. Staring at the car for a moment, she watched as it sat shining in the sun light. On one of its side there were white letters stamped across its door. Talise frowned, since when did police cars say 'to punish and enslave' on it? Walking she kept checking over her shoulder, to see about the police car. Police were suppose to be the 'good guys' yet she couldn't have felt more the other hand, Barricade watched the femme disappear down the road. She was observant for one so young, and he could tell she was worried. Just grab the slagging femme and be done with it, he said to himself. Seeing that she turned around the corner, he moved forward quietly. As he came around the bend, Barricade saw she had taken off into a dead sprint down the road.

"Slaggit." he growled, and sped right after her, dust flying into the air as his wheels moved.

*Meanwhile*

Ironhide sat in the sun enjoying the peace and quiet. Optimus had told him to take the day off. NEST base was still being set up and many negotiations were taking place, no place for the impatient trigger happy mech to be. After much debate, Ironhide decided to agree. He had taken Will, and his niece to school and spent the rest of the day watching Annabelle play outside or sit out and enjoy the sunlight. He dozed off for a second before his scanners picked up something. A decepticon signal, and it was getting closer and closer to the house.

"Annabelle get inside, now." he said to the little girl, who had recently acquired a hand full of organic plants called flowers. Nodding the sparkling ran inside and Ironhide pulled out of the drive way and sped down the road, ready to blast any 'con on sight.

"Oh shit, oh shit!" Talise yelled. Thanking her years of running track and cross country, Talise sprinted down the dirt road. The said police officer was chasing her, and was steadily gaining too. What the hell was going on? Not seeing the big hole in the rode, Talise felt her foot make contact with the ditch. Crack!

"Ow!" she yelled, and fell to the ground, her foot bent at an odd angle. The police car stopped right in front of her, and waited a few moment. Nothing in the universe could have prepared her for what happened next. The car began to change, and sort of fold itself into a giant alien robot.

"This can't be happening." she saw sliding away but it would do nothing. A pair of red eyes, if you could call them that, were gazing down at her.

"Oh shit!" she yelled and attempted to move away, but a clawed hand whipped out and grabbed her. Kicking and screaming, Talise struggled only to find the car squeezing her.

"Quit moving femme." he ordered. But she didn't stop, and his grip increased.

"Where is the fragment!" he barked, bringing Talie up close. "Where are you hiding it?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" she yelled. "I don't have a fragment."

"Don't lie femme you were emitting high amount of all-spark energy off, where is the piece?" he roared. Now she officially clueless. What is an 'all-spark'? Wait, the rock.

"I don't have any spark rock thing, or know where it is. I wouldn't tell you anyway." she replied stubbornly. Glaring nastily at her Barricade was ready to squish the femme, until something hard hit him from behind. Being blasted several feet, Barricade lost the femme, and found the autobot's feared weapons specialist behind him, cannons out.

"Away from the femme decepti-punk." the mech growled advancing. Wanting to live another day Barricade transformed and sped out of there, reporting to Starscream his information. Turning down Inronhide looked at Talise, who sat there eyes wide open in shock.

"What are you?" she finally asked, glad to know her voice still worked.
