Mikaela's POV (Just after Storm left with Ironhide and Jazz)
What just happened? Why the hell-?!
"Sam! Why would you say that?" I growl out.
"What?" Oh god he doesn't realise what he's done. "I only told the truth! There's no way she can be sane and hear a voice in her head!" I notice that the bots look ready to squash him, even Optimus.
"Just because she hears a voice doesn't make her crazy! The only reason she didn't mention it is because sh-"I slap my hand over my mouth horrified when I realise just how much I shouldn't have said.
"Mikaela? Why didn't she say anything?" I glance up at Ratchet with a guilty expression as I can't tell them.
"I can't tell you."
"Why? Because she threatened you?!"
"Samuel! She would never!"
"Never what? Who knows what she can do?! She hears a voice in her head!"
"Yes, but she welcomes it. Ever since she was 4 she's been hearing a voice, different than the one now but the first voice was her pure instincts!" I snarl out. That's when I see everyone staring at me and I realise what I just said. "I never said a word. That wasn't my secret to say. Tell her I told you and she'll hunt us both down. Let me tell her I told you. Exactly what happened. Alright?" I get four nods and relax slightly.
Storm's POV
When we get outside we see…
Mikaela standing there looking guilty.
"Storm, I'm so, so sorry. I didn't mean to say anything." By now I can see tears starting to form in her eyes.
"Whoa, calm down. Deep breaths, what didn't you mean to say?" by now a few tears have fallen down her face and she is shaking trying to keep her tears at bay.
"Why you didn't say anything." Once she said that, I felt a sudden burst of anger but I knew she wouldn't say anything without being provoked.
"It's alright, I know you didn't mean to. You were provoked, that's the only way you would have said something. Now, what exactly happened?" I tilt my head to the side in both curiosity and to let her know that my temper is shortening.
"I said that I couldn't tell them anything and Sam said that you threatened me. I said that you would never, and he said I couldn't be sure as you heard a voice in your head and-"I cut her off.
"You said something about me being used to it due to my pure instincts having a voice?" I look at her with an understanding gaze and walk over to her. She now has tears streaming down her cheeks. "Aww, Kae, don't be upset, I don't care. I'll explain it to them when I get the chance. I'm not angry at you. I can't, you're my sister." I grab her and pull her into a hug and try and sooth her. "It's alright. I'm not angry. It's alright sweetspark." I coo at her.
After 10 minutes of me comforting Kaelie, Jazz and Ironhide's holoforms had my three boxes and my duffle bag in Ironhide's truck bed. I hear three engines coming up the road.
"Showtime Mik. Game face." I send a smirk her way and get a grin in response.
"Show Sam whose boss?"
"Let me handle this. Don't ruin your relationship with Sam. He's better then Trent." I receive a hesitant nod in return.
"You're still here?" I get from a dubious Sam.
"Yes, I'm just about to leave." I say calmly and coolly.
"Good, I guess I'll only see you at school. Now get outta here." He huffs and turns around.
"You don't care if I have somewhere to stay or not? Really Sam, I'm disappointed in you." I feel a smirk trying to break through my façade.
"No I don't… wait, disappointed in me?" he doesn't turn around but I can feel the confusion.
"Yes, disappointed. After all, I have kept you safe all of these years, the least you can do is have some care for my wellbeing." I have to struggle to contain my smirk now.
"Kept me safe?" Sam asks in disbelief. "Yeah right, your nothing but a monster." He sneers at me.
'I watch in horror as it seems and feel like someone has taken over my body while I sit back and watch what they do. I see my body grab a sword and slash my opponent across the chest while they receive a swift kick to the stomach, sending them hurdling towards the ground. He looks up at me with a sneer when he sees the smirk that has bloomed across my face.
"You are nothing but a monster. Even you know that. You will never have a family and no one will ever love you. No one can love a monster." He manages to growl out before my body kicks him in the neck snapping it instantly.
I feel myself regain control of my body and look down at my blood stained hands. He's right, I am a monster.'
"…Storm…Storm…STORM!" I yelp and jump and see a new holoform in front of me, and judging from the lab coat and glasses, I'm gonna say that this is Ratchet.
"How can I help you Ratchet?" I get strange looks from the bots as I have to force my voice to not show the pain I am feeling.
"How can you help me!? I'm not the one who was spaced out for 10 minutes again and looks like a ghost with how pale you are! Now, are you alright?" I don't answer for a few minutes, just stare and study the holoform of Ratchet before I decide that my lying is the best option so I don't have to tell them my past any time soon.
"I'm fine, just can't believe that Sam would say that. Anyway, I better be going, I'll meet you at the shop Kae." I get a nod from Kae and walk to Jazz's alt-mode in silent communication saying that I'm ready to go and to get outta here. Both his and Ironhide's holoforms flicker out before we are driving to Kae's shop while I give directions.
By the time we reached the shop, I had so many different memories and voices going around my head I was sitting ram rod straight in my seat. Which unfortunately, Jazz noticed.
"Ya alrigh' S? Ya tense." I hear the worry and concern in his voice but can't help but feel as if it fake.
"I'm fine, just thinking." Short and snappy responses usually get people to stop and shut up. Then again, they actually now me.
"Ya sure, wha' Sam said didn't botha ya?" I release a sigh and stare out the side window.
"Bother me? No. Annoy me? Yes. He has no idea how much…" I trail off once I realize what I was about to say.
"How much wha'?"
"Nothing Jazz. It's nothing. Don't worry yourself with my problems." Child, do not think that you are of no concern to them. You feel the connection between Jazz and yourself. I can say no more right now. You must figure this out for yourself. Be strong. I blink rapidly and realize that a hand is being waved in front of my face.
"Storm, are you okay?" when my eyes focus on the figure standing over me, I realize that I am lying on the ground.
"Ugh, how'd I end up on the floor?" I go to sit up get pushed back down by the guy standing over me. That's when I see the colours he's wearing.
"You collapsed after you walked a few steps. What happened?" I groan and figure that it was the Primes that caused me to pass out.
"I'll let you know when I've fully figured it out." I look at the holoform and grin. "You gonna help a lady up Optimus?" I laugh when I see him looking sheepish but he helps me up anyway.
"Sorry." He rumbles.
"It's alright. I was-" I cut myself off when I see someone over Optimus' sholder that I would have rather not seen…

"…Dan…"
(AN: I was gonna stop here but decided to be nice :)
.
.
.
"Dan…" I growl out, he puts his hands up in surrender.
"Relax, I'm not here to hurt you."
"Yeah right. I don't trust you." I sneer.
"Look, I was sent…" he trails off when he sees the others behind me. "Do they-"
"No."
"Can we go somewhere else then?" I look at him, analysing him.
"Fine. Don't worry. I'll scream 'Bloody Murder' if he tries to kill me." I reassure them when they go to protest. "Let's go."
We walk around a block then stop when we get to a bench.
"Now, what do you want Dan?"
"Look, I was sent to either bring you back or kill you." I snort when I hear this.
"Like this is new. What's new, is you not acting on it. Why?" I see him watching me carefully, deciding if he should tell the truth. "Tell the truth." I glare at him and see the fear flash in his eyes. Good, it means he remembers the damage we can do. 'Shh. It doesn't matter, we're not there anymore.
"Alright, you are now being targeted by everyone there." He looks around trying to avoid eye contact with me.
"Everyone? Crap." I drag my hand through my hair in aggravation. Out of the corner of my eye I see Dan shuffle nervously next to me. "Relax. I'm not gonna try to hurt "Relax. I'm not gonna try to hurt you unless you try to kill me, so relax." I see his hesitant nod and grin internally.
"No, I'm not here to fight you, I wanna help you." I look at him shocked, not that I show it.
"Why?"
"Because, I know what you went through when you were 8." I look at him and let my disbelief and horror show on my face.
"How?"
"I had an older brother and he was put in there before me. I went in as I thought he was dead. Imagine my surprise when he was there. He taught me how to defend myself. I was 20 at the time and he was 23." He trails off in memory. "Anyway, he ended up getting killed in order to make me snap. I ended up killing them and became cold and heartless. Just what they wanted. Until you came. When you and him came in though I saw what they put you through. What you became. Then what happened when you were 8…" he stops and looks at me. I can tell he is telling the truth and let him see my haunted look.
"Don't. Please. I believe you. Let's go. I need to explain to the others. I accept your help." I see him smile slightly.
"Okay boss. Lead the way." I glare at him slightly as I hate being called boss.
I start walking and know he's following. When we get back to the garage Ironhide and Jazz instantly stop pacing.
"Are you okay?" since when did Ironhide care?
"I wouldn't-"
"Enough Dan, they have a right to be worried. I'm fine guys." I sigh and see Sam and Mikaela.
"You sure you wanna tell 'em?" I see the others glance at each other and hear Sam scoff.
"Sam…"
"Show some respect to her boy. She's been keeping you safe." Oh Dan should'a been quiet.
"Please, like she could hurt a fly." I hear a growl and look at Dan, only to see his face consorted in anger.
"Dan, clam down."
"How-?" Dan choked out.
"He doesn't know. And he deserves to." I tell Dan.
"Who are you?" we both turn to Sam and I see Dan smirk.
"My name's Dan. But you can call me Reaper." Sam's wide eye's makes Dan's smirk even wider. "And have some respect for her would you."
"Enough! If I am going to be telling everyone my past, you need to let. Me. Speak." I see Reaper shrink beneath my anger.
"Sorry ma'am." I take a deep breath and attempt to keep my emotions in check.
"Now, let's go to this old building I found." I get nods in return and walk over to Jazz while Dan look at Ironhide questionably. He gets a nod and they both walk over to his alt-mode.
AN: And that's the end of this chapter. I know it took long, but I blame the amount of school work I've been getting. Let me know what you think. Fav, follow and review please.
