The well of silence

Niki walked to school the next morning. She walked across town and waited at her stop. It was so quiet like the world was mad at her. She watched as the bus came up behind her. She slowly walked up the steps but instead on sitting the front Niki walked all the way to the back.

"Hey Niki why are you back here today?" asked Sam.

"No reason," Niki sighed. She looked out the window as they passed her house. It wasn't much but rocks and ruble. Niki looked out the window till she reached school. She picked up her bag and got off after every one else.

Niki noticed Brittney not waiting for her. Niki sighed.

"Today class we will learn about atoms," the teacher smiled. One boy raised his hand. The teacher called on him.

"My names Adam!" he cheered. The teacher laughed.

"Not Adams! Atoms!" the teacher explained, "atoms are in all types of matter and the atoms in an object are all the same!"

Niki saw Brittney. She had sat in the front of the class. Niki knew Brittney hated the front of the class for the teacher could always see you. Niki, on the other hand, was in the back of the room. Niki couldn't reach Brittney in any way. She looked at her watch. She pushed a button.

"Brittney?" Niki said into her watch. Brittney heard this on her watch. She looked down at it and frowned.

"Niki we're in class!" Brittney whispered. Niki sighed.

"Why won't you talk to me?" Niki asked. Brittney didn't answer. Niki sighed as she hid her watch under her desk.

She knew what was going on. She was getting the well of silence. Something they named the silent treatment. Niki looked down at her blank piece of paper. She pulled out her pencil and began to drawl. It started out as a square but turned into a picture of Optimus prime.

Niki smiled as she pulled out another piece of blank paper. She began to drawl Bumblebee on one page and Prowl on another and ended with Bulkhead by Ratchet. She drew one last picture. It showed Optimus prime and Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Prowl with Ratchet long side.

Niki finished the picture when…SMASH! The teacher slapped her ruler on Niki's desk. Niki threw her pencil into the air and it landed on Sam! Niki looked up at her teacher.

"Niki I would like it if you save the pictures for art and your listening skills for now!" the teacher squealed. Niki gulped as the teacher took the picture and tapped it to the white board. She turned back.

"Nice picture though," she smiled as she continued through her lesson.

Brittney was close enough to see the picture. She smiled. She knew Niki was easily distracted. She never thought that Niki could drawl like this though. She stared at the picture till the end of class.

"Niki how'd you drawl that picture?" Brittney asked.

"I just started drawling and kept at it," Niki hummed. She showed Brittney the many pictures. Brittney gasped at the pictures. Niki pulled out another copy of the one the teacher took. Brittney smiled.

"I thought you were giving me the well of silence?" Niki sighed. Brittney looked up the road. Bumblebee and Prowl were driving down. Brittney sighed.

"Niki you left us in battle and now Optimus is paying for it," Brittney cried as she hopped on Prowl. Niki gasped. As they drove off Niki again felt that alone felling like the world was against her. She sighed.

"I can make this felling all go away," Niki froze. She knew who that voice was. It was her old friend, Isaac.

"No you can't! You can only make me fell worse!" Niki shouted. Isaac tossed some hair out of his eyes.

"Those Autobots don't know how you feel," he smiled, "they don't understand why you left." Niki began to breathe heavily. Isaac smiled. Niki looked away.

"You are the reason they are alive now! They would've just been some human experiment," Isaac laughed. Niki gulped and pulled at her collar.

Her watch blinked a deep purple. Isaac growled at it. He placed his hand over it. Niki lost her sight of right and wrong like she was under a spell. She frowned. Isaac smiled.

"I'm worried," Brittney sighed. She was pacing in the ship while Optimus was getting the last of the thawing.

"What is there to worry about?" Bumblebee smiled.

"Niki she's mad at us and Isaac twists that anger into a fight toward us or worse! We could get found and Niki knows how to stop you guys!" Brittney wailed.

"Wow that is something to worry about!" Bumblebee sighed.

Knock! Knock! Blast! Brittney heard the blast of a gun. The door! She ran over to it. She heard foot steps. She hid in a hall. She peeped behind the corner. There were army men millions of them! They marched down the hall with guns in arms.

Brittney gasped. One man turned and stopped. A second one fallowed him. They began to go toward Brittney. Brittney screamed once they found her. She tried to run but failed once they caught her.

"Autobots! Move!" Optimus cheered once he heard them. He tried to stand but his systems were still in need of some rebooting.

One of the men held his gun up. He began to shake in fear. Bumblebee chuckled.

"Are you going to shot?" Bumblebee asked.

"Get away you alien!" yelled another man. He shot his gun at Bumblebee. Bumblebee got an automatic static shock. He fell back. Ratchet ran to help him but was shot by a freeze gun. Ratchet collapsed. Brittney was pulled into the room.

"Guys!" Brittney screamed. She saw Bumblebee and Ratchet in pain. She wanted to help but she couldn't. She didn't have a cool armor like Niki just the communicator.

"Prowl!" Brittney cried. Prowl leaped into the air. He shot out his spinners. It blasted a few of the gun. Suddenly Prowl was on the floor. He had been over wale by an ice and electricity blast. Brittney began to cry.

"Take those three down to the base we'll get ride of the last two!" yelled a man. Brittney watched as Bulkhead fell with an ice blast in the arm. Optimus was the only one left standing. Suddenly Niki came running in. Brittney looked away.

"What? Optimus!" Niki cried. Isaac fallowed behind.

"Isaac I should've known that you did this!" Brittney yelled. Isaac smiled as he watched Niki cheer.

"I didn't do it, Niki did," he smiled. Niki froze.

"What?" Niki screamed. Isaac nodded. Niki turned.

"I know you had to do something," Brittney sobbed.

"I may have tempted but…" Isaac whispered.

"I'll help you Optimus!" Niki cheered and she raised her wrist.
