As Barricade barreled toward us, I drove behind a group of trees for cover. I couldn't do anything but watch as Mudflap and Skids tag teamed the Decepticon, dodging moves but landing few. Barricade roared and grabbed Skids by his head, thrashing him around before tossing him a few yards away. Mudflap, enraged, tackled Barricade to the ground. Barricade pointed his cannon at Mudflap, it glowed an acid blue as it hummed. Before he shot, Skids came and rammed into the Decepticon, causing the Decepticon to shoot at random. As the shots were fired, I crouched lower to ground, trying to avoid the stray blasts of energy. Where is everyone? A shot flew above me, disintegrating the parts of the trees it hit; I squealed and ran out from behind the cover. Barricade and I made optic to eye contact as he fought off the twins. Barricade slammed the two into each other and threw them aside once more; the twins lay on the ground unmoving. My heart thumped wildly in my chest. He's coming for me next, I just know it.

Without thinking, I dashed in the opposite direction, my small legs carrying me as fast as my body would let them. I have to get away, I have to get away, repeated in my head as I darted from the scene. Suddenly I felt something cool wrap around me and lift me up. Screaming and thrashing I struggled against whoever had me.

"Stop resisting or I will not hesitate to kill you. I could care less what happens to you, little fleshling." Barricade growled.

I froze, my heart hammered against my ribs as I turned around to see Barricade's red optics glaring down at me. The touch of a Decepticon is so different than that of an Autobots; with an Autobot's touch there is love and care, the metal doesn't feel lifeless and dead; but a Decepticon's is rough and uncaring; it hurt. I struggled to breathe as Barricade transformed into his alt-form, switching on his lights and speeding off. I sat uncomfortably in the passenger seat, watching the city go by; my body willing me to scream and yell for anyone to save me, but my heart was too frightened to allow it. I silently prayed for someone, anyone to come and rescue me. Optimus; Optimus Prime I swear to God if you allow me to be captured and taken away, I'll cut all of your wires! I screamed in my mind, hoping that somehow the leader-bot would hear me.

"I sense you're nervous human; you can stop scratching up my leather. I have orders not to kill you." Barricade rumbled through his radio.

"W-Where are you taking me?" I questioned.

"That's none of your concern." He replied.

"It is my concern, since you've hurt my friends and kidnapped me!" I yelled; however he didn't reply.

I huffed and stared out the window, my heart and mind racing a mile per minute. We left Mission City and were traveling across a vast amount of country, when Barricade suddenly transformed; throwing me across a field of grass. I tumbled and knocked around as I rolled away from wherever Barricade was. I groaned, rubbing my head; the screeching and clashing of metal capturing my attention. Jazz swung, landing a strong punch against Barricade's head, flinging Barricade back a few yards.

"Jazz!" I screamed with relief. I'm saved!

Barricade tackled Jazz to the ground and they wrestled; each of them throwing punches, sometimes landing one, sometimes missing. Movement to the far right caught my eye; a tall jet black 'bot with large cannons, a yellow emergency medic 'bot, a yellow camaro, and a 32 foot tall red and blue 'bot came charging at Barricade and Jazz. I smiled as hot tears flung themselves from my eyes; they all came to rescue me. Optimus and the Autobots fought against Barricade, however Barricade proved to be a match for all of them. Bumblebee pulled in front of me and opened the door, Sam and Mikaela waited inside. I jumped in and Bee sped off. Sam pulled me into a tight hug.

"I'm never going to let you leave my sight, ever." Sam murmured.

"Are you okay D?" Mikaela asked as she gave me a hug.

"Shaken, but fine now that Bee and the 'bots came to save me." I smiled, wiping the tears away.

Looking in the rear view mirror I saw the other Autobots in pursuit, however Barricade was nowhere to be found. He's gone. I grinned, but then something dawned on me,

"Wait; where's Skids and Mudflap?" I asked, they weren't with the Autobots.

Sam looked at me with pity, "They're back on base already, in the infirmary. Both of them are in critical condition, but Ratchet had stabilized them for the most part before we came after you."

I let out a strangled cry before putting my face in my hands, trying to hide my shame. "This is all my fault!"

Mikaela forced me to look at her, "Now listen, this isn't your fault, not one percent. So don't you dare go around saying it is. Not for one second you hear me?"

`I merely nodded, afraid if I spoke, I'd start to cry. Mikaela let me go, and we were silent the rest of the ride.

When we got to base, everyone drove into the hangar; and Mikaela, Sam and I piled out of Bee. Ratchet left shortly after arriving to take care of the twins. I nervously shuffled my feet as the Autobots transformed, all their eyes on me. Jazz was the first one to make any movement; he ran his finger down my back as reassurance and tears threatened to fall again. I took a deep breath and centered myself as Optimus stepped forward.

"What happened?"

"I went for a joy ride with a Decepticon; what do you think happened?" I retorted.

Optimus pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled heavily. "I know, but what happened?"

"When we entered Mission City, I noticed a cop car, but thought nothing of it. I went in the store and bought the items Lennox needed then exited, jumping in Mudflap. We barely made it out of the city before Barricade attacked." My voice cracked, and I tried to hold it together. "He knocked the twins out and came for me, grabbing me and transforming into a car. He took off and drove me to where you guys came and defeated him. That's all that happened." A tear slid down my face.

Optimus' blue optics held something I couldn't identify, "Are you sure that's all? He didn't say anything to you?"

"No."

"Are you sure?" Optimus pushed, I felt my chest tighten.

"Are you calling me a liar?"

"No; I'm merely asking if you have shared all the information with us. This is of great importance Delyia." Not even the sound of my name could tame the wild anger inside my chest.

"How dare you Optimus! I was just kidnapped in case you weren't aware! I was tossed around and thrown inside a Decepticon! And now you're calling me a liar – "

"I never said you were – "

Shut up!. It was implied. Optimus I'm not stupid! How can you be so cold? Instead of asking me if I'm okay, you just harass me for fucking information; and when I tell you all I know you think I'm hiding something!" I sighed; not wanting to say anything I might regret, I turned around and stalked to the door.

"Where are you going?" He demanded.

"Anywhere away from you!" I snarled, striking him with my eyes, before storming out and slamming the door behind me.
