New chappie! Also, this one isn't Crossfire, I had another idea that I need to get outta my systems. This chapter may get a little M-rated, so you can skip over it for those of you who don't want to read it. Thanks for those of you who decided to read my poll and vote for a favorite title that would fit my TMNT story. That story will be up soon after the birthday of Outcasts and Autobots.
Can you guys believe that Outcasts and Autobots is almost a year old at the end of January? I can't either and I can't believe that I made it this far! Thanks to all of you who stayed with me through all of this. It means so much to me. Anyway, let's get onto the story!
I own: my OCs

Wendy POV
The weekend went by fast after Friday. I really didn't want the weekend to end, but it had to and I dragged my ass up out of bed in the morning. I met the rest of the Outcasts in the kitchen and we ate breakfast at the table.
"Who's not ready to go back to school?" Kathy said with mock enthusiasm.
"We are." The rest of us said and raised our hands. I was so tired and I knew everyone who was at the talent show Friday night was gonna ask all of us questions. I didn't feel like answering everyone's questions and some of them would say shit about us anyway.
"Everyone will be bugging us about the talent show. We'll never get a break." William said and ate the last of his hot pocket. "I'm out. See y'all when you get there." He got up and left the table as some of the rest of us got up.
"He didn't even go brush his teeth. Ew." Kathy said as us three girls went to the bathroom. "And it doesn't look like the rest of the guys are going to, either." We all took turns in the bathroom to brush our teeth and I was the last one to get to school because I left my bag on the bed. Oliver was sleeping on it like a pillow and I had to take a picture of it. Apparently, I'm gonna be one of those crazy cat ladies in the future. I won't deny it.
"See ya, Ratchet." I say as I open the door and get out, but was stopped by something. I saw that my bag was caught with the seat belt and I tried to loosen it.
"Try not to pull. I'll get it." Ratchet said as his holoform popped up in front of me.
"Ratchet, someone could've seen you!" I say and he looks at me. "Don't you usually get onto the other bots for doing that?"
"Now you sound like me." Ratchet said and smirked. I blushed and tried to hide it while biting my lip. Damn bastard had a point.
"Bastardo." I say in Spanish and try to help him with the seat belt. His face was so close to mine and I felt my face heat up again as he finally got my bag free. "Thank you, Ratchet."
"Your welcome." Ratchet said and smiled. I saw him blush and I blushed again. "I will see you after school."
"Ok. You promise?" I asked as I put a strand of hair behind my ear. He nodded and I smiled. "Bye." I closed the door and waved at Ratchet. He gave me a small wave back and drove off. I turned back to the school and walked through the doors. I walked to my locker and waved for Kathy and Anna to come over.
"Hey, you guys did a good job in the talent show." Sierra said as her and a few friends walked up to us. "I would've been in it, but I didn't have the time for it."
"Thanks, Sierra." Kathy said and they walked off. "She was nice about it."
"Yeah, better than two other girls. They said they could've done better and I said for them to prove it by singing out loud in the hall." Kathy said as she picked at her fingernails.
"Did they do it?" I asked.
"They said that they needed music and we proved them wrong by doing occupella." Anna said as she smirked. "The looks on their faces were worth it. They stomped off and the boys laughed at them."
"And you didn't get it on camera or recording. Damn." I say and snap my fingers. I saw Kate, Kat and Ty walk up to us.
"We've been getting complaints, compliments and stink eyes all in one morning." Kat said. "How's your morning been?"
"Pretty good. We had some of the same things you guys said you had. Oh, Kathy and I told some girls off real good earlier in the hall." Anna said.
"I heard about that. You guys rocked it!" Kate said.
"Oh, Wendy! Did you hear what happened to Vince after the principal took him out of the auditorium?" Ty asked and I shook my head. "The principal had him suspended for a week for locking Nick in the storage closet. And for also manipulating your talent show act. I guess he must've figured out that he was trying to molest you." I couldn't help but to shiver in my mind. Vince was really going through certain links to get to me.
"Ha, that dickhead deserved it!" I said and gave Kat and Kathy a high five. "I knew Nick wouldn't try to ditch me like that. He's too nice."
"Yeah, I haven't seen him be really mean to anyone." Kat said. "He's actually really sweet. I think he's the only other popular person here that's nice."
"Uh oh, we got company." Kathy said as she looked past us. Brianna was angrily walking towards us and she had a scowl on her face. "Bitch-anova, three o'clock."
"You two ruined everything for me at the talent show!" Brianna said as she got up in Kate and Kat's faces. "I wanted all the attention to myself and you guys just had to be mentioned!"
"Who gives a fuck? It's not like the whole world is ending!" Kate said and she got in Brianna's face. "You are such an attention starved, pink wearing diva with no heart! We gladly accepted when you said your friends couldn't do it and all you did was treat us like shit. We saved your act when you needed it. I bet you no other person would have done it because they know you're a selfish bitch."
"You bitch!" Brianna said and she seethed. "That's not true!"
"Like hell!" Kat said and she got in Brianna's face. "Everyone knows you're a bitch. They just don't want to admit it because they don't want shit said about them."
"They're right." the rest of us say.
"Stay out of my business!" Brianna shouts and points to me. "It's already bad enough that some people said that you and that other freak's act was good! They were supposed to compliment me and only me!"
"Don't bring me into this conversation." I say and hold my hands up in defense. "You can go bitch to the wall over there and cry out your tears to the janitor."
"Burn, bitch!" Ty said as he laughed. Brianna glared at him and then stomped away before turning around.
"You'll all pay for this. This isn't over." Brianna said and then she walked away.
"I think it just ended." Anna said as she uncrossed her arms. "The people who start shit are always the ones to leave first."
"God I hate her so much. Where's a sink hole when you need one?" Kathy said and I shrugged.
"Who knows? It probably didn't want to swallow her. Who could blame it?" I said and the bell rang. "I'll see you guys later." I closed the locker door and walked towards the classroom. I seen Brianna glare at me as she came back from the girls' restroom and then she smirked. It gave me a chill at how evil the smirk was and how it was directed at me. Something didn't feel right when she smirked, but I just shook it off and kept walking.
"Hey Wendy!" Nick said as he met me by the door. "Did you hear that our dance was one of the most popular in the talent show?"
"Really? Brianna bitched to us something about that, but I didn't think it was actually true." I say. "That's great!" I squealed as my feet were swept off the ground as Nick spun me around.
"I know! And you were amazing in it!" Nick said and he spun me once more.
"Ok, ok! You can put me down!" I squeal in delight and Nick put me back on my feet. "But you know I couldn't have done it without you."
"That may be true, but it's always the woman's touch that has everyone spellbound." Nick said and I raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really? The man is always the one persuading the woman to dance and end up having the girl at the end." I say and then realize that Nick has his hands on my hips. "Um, could you please remove your hands?"
"Oh, sorry!" Nick said and he quickly removed his hands. I seen him blush and I smiled softly at him.
"It's ok. I guess we were both too caught up in the conversation to even notice." I say and usher him inside the classroom. "Let's go before we're announced as late."
"Yes, sir!" Nick said as he gave me a mock salute and I laughed. The rest of the morning went by smoothly. I had some bad remarks and a lot of people said that we were all pretty good. Some of them complimented us and they tried to pass it off like they didn't care, but I knew they cared.
It was lunch time by the time everyone had gotten complaints, compliments and pats on the back. Jack, Miko and Raf were even congratulated on how they did their part in the last performance.
"We are rock stars!" Miko said as she bounced in her seat. "I knew one day I would be recognized as a rock star!"
"I still can't believe I managed to not mess up." Jack said as he put an arm around Miko. "I was scared as hell!"
"I was scared, too. I'm so glad I didn't mess up." Raf said and he rubbed the back of his head. "My abuela was there and she said I did great! She had no idea I did piano."
"You can tell her I taught you a lot." Miko said as she pointed to herself. "Who knew taking piano lessons since three would pay off?"
After lunch, I had a few more people come up to me and congratulate me on the talent show. Everyone then said that Baby, it's cold outside was the best and the cutest one of them all. Now I couldn't keep up with anything they were saying. People were saying different things about the talent show, it was hard to keep up with them all.
Finally, it was time for Glee Club and I was so ready to get out of school. I walked over to my table and sat down with the rest of the Outcasts. I noticed Brianna from across the room with that same smirk she had on when she came out of the girls restroom. It made a small shiver go down my spine. What the hell is with that smirk? Did she have something to say to me? Is she just trying to scare me? I hate to admit it, but she's actually scaring me a little.
"Wendy, are you ok?" Kathy asked as she nudged my arm. I snapped back into reality and nodded.
"Yeah, just thinking about something." I reassured her and she seemed satisfied. "So, what's on the agenda for today?"
"We have a free day for doing so good at the talent show." Anna said as she got out her homework from math. "I'm gonna try to get a head start on my math homework. Zach, care to help a girl out?"
"Sure beans." Zach said and scooted as close as he could get to her. "This is easy!"
"Of course it's easy to you. You're the math genius here." Anna said and the rest of us shook our heads in agreement. Kathy and I worked together for a while on a new skit for class for some of the period. Then we settled on watching some Vines while we waited.
"This one is too funny! It's by Josh Peck." Kathy said as she showed me on her phone.
"You mean Josh from that show Drake and Josh?" I asked and Kathy nodded.
"Yeah. Can you believe he lost all of that weight?" she said. "He's a hottie now!"
"I know, he's actually kinda cute." I said. "And it's kinda weird to hear him cuss after you watch him be the good boy on Drake and Josh. Especially on the Vines you've been talking about."
"Speaking of which, watch this one and see if you don't laugh." Kathy said and showed me her phone. It showed Josh and his friend looking at some skinny girl in a dress. She was doing something with a plant when she turned around and she had a witch face. I'm being serious, she looked like a witch! I was scared, weirded-out and amused at the same time. But what was the funniest about the Vine was their reactions to her. They both screamed "Daaaaaaaaamn!" and their facial reactions were funny as hell!
"Oh my god, the looks on their faces!" I laughed and Kathy started laughing with me. "And how they said damn was funny as hell!"
"I know! I couldn't stop laughing after I seen this earlier." Kathy said as she finally calmed down. The rest of the class was looking at us funny, but we ignored them.
"Oh yeah, I watched that. Me and William had the same reaction and we couldn't quit laughing." Michael said as he leaned in towards me to peer at Kathy's phone. "I swear, these guys are comedy central. Maybe we can use some ideas from Vines to use in our skits."
"Won't that be stealing?" I asked and Michael shrugged.
"Yeah it's stealing. And besides, we don't need inspiration from Vines, we need to put our skits or tiny comedy videos on Vine." William said. "Just think, we can all have fans from everywhere in the world liking our Vines. And best part is that we thought of these ourselves."
"I like that idea, but who would be the one keeping the app if we do Vines?" Anna asked as she put up her math stuff. "Trust me, I'm all for it. But we all can't use different accounts for Vine."
"Maybe we do a eenie meenie miny mo thing?" Zach asked as he scooted a little away from Anna. "Just don't use my phone. I'll end up accidentally deleting it."
"Maybe we can figure this out later. The bell's about to ring." Anna said as she pointed to the clock. She was right and we had about a minute to get everything together. "I vote on eenie meenie miny mo." After we all got our things together, the bell rang and we all headed for the door.
"Freedom!" William said as he ran out of the front doors of the school. "Oh sweet sunshine, I missed you!"
"Drama queen." Kathy said and rolled her eyes. "All he needs to do now is start kissing the grass. That'll make my day." All of their guardians were sitting in the parking lot and I realized Ratchet wasn't there waiting for me. I felt a little disappointed for a moment. He promised me he would be here waiting for me when I got out of school. Was he busy? I sighed and went over to sit on the railing of the stairs.
Ratchet probably was busy working on something that made him lose track of time and he forgot about me. It's easy to get lost in thought when you're working on something. It must be important if it means leaving me here.
"Wendy, need a lift?" William asked as he motioned towards Ironhide. Dad wasn't here to take anyone home and Ironhide was the only one available for him and Michael. "Ratchet probably doesn't even know that he needs to pick you up."
"We'd be glad to fit you in." Michael offered as he held his hand out to Ironhide. "Ironhide may not like a girl interrupting our guy time, but he'll live with it." I smiled at them and shook my head.
"No, I'll be fine here. He needs to remember when to pick me up anyways." I said and waved an arm at them. "Just go on, I'll be fine here."
"Do you want one of us to stay with you?" Michael asked. "You can't wait here alone."
"I'll stay with you until your friend picks you up." a familiar voice said. Nick was standing to the left by the door. "I only heard you telling them to go on without you, Wendy." I decided to pretend that his timing was creepy.
"Yeah, I'll just wait with Nick." I said as William and Michael both put on sour faces. Obviously, they didn't like the idea at all and were all against it, even though they didn't say it out loud. "You guys can trust him and me."
"Are you sure?" William asked as he gave Nick a suspicious look. Michael slightly glared at him and I rolled my eyes at them. They seriously needed to get over me, I'm not interested in them or Nick if that's what they were thinking.
"Yes, William, I'm sure." I said and put a hand on his. "I promise I will be fine and if something happens, I'll call someone at base."
"Ok." William said as he gave Nick another suspicious look. "Let's go, Michael."
"C'mon, maybe 'Hide will let her join." Michael said as William led him away.
"I don't like this, either, but she'll call if anything does happen." William said as they finally walked out of hearing distance. I groaned and blushed a little. Geez, they could've been a little more nicer than that.
"Don't worry, it's probably because I'm one of the populars and you guys don't trust us." Nick said as he sat down beside of me on the railing. "I don't mind, really."
"Really? I guess that's a good thing." I said. "So have you gotten any complaints or something about the talent show?"
"Everyone said that our band was great, but some people said that our dance routine wasn't that great." Nick said. "I know you don't take shit, but they said you looked slutty." I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
"Of course someone would say that, they're just jealous or they just wanna spread shit around." I said. "I thought we did pretty good. You were great as well."
"Thanks." said Nick. "Hey, what did you mean by 'base' when you reassured William and Michael?"
"Oh, that's just what we call our little clubhouse." I lied and Nick seemed to buy it. "We always called our meeting spots our 'bases' because it sounds cool."
"Nice. When do you think your friend will be here to pick you up?" Nick asked as he peered at the road and then checked his watch. "I forgot that I had a band practice meeting about half an hour after school."
"I don't know. He's usually here by then." I said and checked my phone. "Who knew that time went by that fast?"
"I know. But I don't wanna leave you here alone." Nick said as he held my hand. I blushed at the contact and smiled a little. "Besides, it might make me look bad to your friends if I leave you here by yourself."
"No way, you can go. If it's that important to you, you can go." I said stood up with him.
"Ok. But I have to ask you a question before I go." Nick said and he blushed as he rubbed the back of his head.
"What is it?" I asked and cocked my head to the side.
"Ok, um...would you like to, you know, go on a um...a movie date with me on Tuesday?" Nick stuttered and said that last part very fast. "It's fine if you don't wanna go. I was just letting you know so you can check if you don't have any plans." Wait, is Nick asking me out on a date? Holy crow, he's asking me out! I haven't had a guy ask me out since William tried to get back together with me.
I was stunned in silence. Nick likes me? Who knew? Or was I being a little obvious? I'll admit it, I do sorta like Nick, but not like that. He's like a good friend that I can count on when I have something important to do and I can rely on him for help. He's the one friend that I trust who can help me fifty-fifty on a science project and I don't have to do everything; we just split everything half and half.
Besides, the only guy who makes me feel real flustered at times is Ratchet. I mean, I also like Ratchet, just not like a lover. Do I? Every time Ratchet made me blush, I had a fluttery feeling inside and I felt like I was floating on air. My heart would beat so fast and I would get this feeling that I felt when I was dating William. But I couldn't be falling in love with Ratchet, could I? This was crazy!
"I'm guessing your silence is a no then." Nick said in a disappointed voice and he hung his head. "I'm sorry if I made you upset in any way." Nick got up to leave and I stopped him.
"No, I'm not upset. Just a little surprised." I say and grab his hand. "I would be glad to go to the movies with you. And trust me, I'm not mad at all. I've been asked out a lot, but it was mainly teasing for a sick joke of the populars."
"Don't worry, mine's not a joke." Nick said with a smile. "I really do wanna go on a movie date with you." I smiled and laughed a little as he said it. Nick still had his hand in my hand and I blushed again. But I realized that I had another problem: how was I gonna explain to Nick that I think of him as a friend instead of a lover? I bit my lip as I debated in my mind what I was gonna say.
"Well, thanks again for the offer, Nick." I say and finally get the words I needed. "But there's something I need to tell you-" Nick's cell phone started to ring and he picked it up.
"Sorry, Wendy. Hold on just a moment." Nick said and answered his phone. "Hello? Oh hey, James. No, I'm just running a little late. Don't worry, I'll be there in a few minutes. Ok. Later." Nick hung up and gave me a sheepish smile. "Sorry about that, but I kinda have to go now. I hope you don't mind."
"No, it's fine. I think I accidentally made you late or something to your practice." I said and let go of his hand. "Go on and just tell them that you were talking to me."
"Ok, but I won't tell them about talking to you, so they can't bitch about you later tomorrow in school." Nick said and he stretched. "Are you sure you'll be fine by yourself?"
"Yeah, I'm positive. Just go before they start bombing your phone." I joked and laughed a little. "See ya later, Nicky boy."
"See you later, Wendy." Nick said with a little wave as he walked away. I sighed and put a hand on my forehead. How was I gonna explain about Tuesday to Dad? Or how was I gonna say I only liked Nick as a friend later? I can't do it through texting, it starts drama and it's too cliché. I stayed on the railing just a few more seconds before getting off to sit on the stairs.
"Do you honestly think that he likes you or that you'll both get together?" a sickly familiar voice said from behind me. I looked back and saw Brianna by the doors. She had an angry look on her face and her arms were crossed like she meant business. What does this bitch want now? I sighed and turned the rest of my body towards her.
"What do you want now, Brianna?" I asked. I really don't want to deal with her right now. "What could you possibly want to bitch about this time?" Brianna glared at me harshly and took a step forward.
"I seen you two earlier when I came out of the girls bathroom, acting like you both love each other. He's obviously under your spell, bitch. And then he asks you out on a date." Brianna said as she got angrier. "Nick is supposed to be my boyfriend! He's not supposed to love you, you stupid whore! Nick loves me and only me!"
"Shut up, Brianna. I only like Nick as a friend, nothing more. Since you were eavesdropping on our conversation, I was about to tell him that before he answered his phone." I defended myself and took a few steps forward. "Even if he does like me, he still wouldn't go out with a lying, backstabbing, shit-spreading bitch like you! I don't see how many boys like you with all that shit you spread. No wonder why you're single." Brianna's face scrunched up in anger.
"You slut! Everyone likes me and I don't say shit about people! They love me and they're loyal to me. But you and your fucking friends had to ruin everything by moving here! More people pay attention to you freaks than they do to me!" Brianna shouted and got up in my face before shoving me a little. "This is my school and you and your band of freaks won't take it away from me!"
"Stay away from me, Brianna!" I shouted and shoved her away from me. Then I noticed a car drive up behind us and I saw who the driver was. Vince. What was he doing here!? "What the hell is Vince doing here?" Brianna smirked as she recovered from me shoving her back and had me blocked from moving.
"He's here to help me get rid of you. Nick will be mine and he will never be yours!" Brianna snarled and lunged at me. My eyes widened and I quickly ducked as her fist aimed for my face.
Thinking quickly, I punched Brianna in the stomach and she fell to the ground with a painful cry. I quickly regained my balance before Brianna punched me back in the stomach. I felt the wind get knocked out of me and I fell down as Brianna screamed, trying to punch me in the face. I quickly moved my head to the side and heard Brianna cry in pain as her fist made contact with the concrete. I then shoved her off and gave her a well-deserved kick to the face. Brianna cried out in pain again and she didn't get back up.
"Take that, bitch." I say as I get up and feel a slight throb in my stomach where Brianna punched me. Then I noticed Vince with a rag in his hand standing by me.
"Get over here!" Vince demanded and grabbed my arm. He pulled me over to him and tried to stick the rag to my face.
"No!" I screamed and tried my hardest to punch him in the face. Vince moved out of the way in time and I kneed him in the stomach. Vince went down with a grunt and I started to RLH. But I only got about three running steps before Vince jumped at me and grabbed my leg. I fell to the ground and Vince started to crawl on top of me. "Get off of me, you bastard!"
I screamed and kicked, but Vince held me down and then Brianna popped into view. She smirked as she blocked my airways with the rag hard enough to nearly choke me. The rag smelled awful and it was starting to give me a headache. I didn't know what the smell was, but it was getting me dizzy and sleepy. No, I had to fight my way out of this! I managed to escape a bunch of other life-threatening things and some of them included Decepticons.
I wiggled my head side to side and felt Brianna's hand go slightly into my mouth with the rag as she pressed down too hard. The rag tasted nasty and I bit down as hard as I could. Brianna screamed in pain and tried to pull her hand away from me. I let go and the rag was gone; I could see them both. Vince looked at Brianna and I used that moment to free my arm to punch him in the face.
Vince yowled in pain and I quickly shoved him off. I got up and heard Brianna bitch about how I bit her hand. Her voice sounded far away and everything was spinning. I fell back to my knees and closed my eyes for a second so I could concentrate. What was on that rag? Before I could ponder more, someone smacked me in the face and I fell down from the force.
"You little bitch!" Vince yelled and slapped me again. I yelped in pain and he slapped me again before I felt the rag on my face once more. The fumes were overpowering and I felt one of them kick me in the stomach. I felt the wind get knocked outta me for a second time and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I curled up into a little ball as the world started to blur. The fumes were too strong.
"Help." I whispered before total darkness took over.
Kathy POV
I watched as the rock opened up and we sped into the base. Anna and Zach beat me here while William and Michael stayed behind to talk to Wendy. Elita parked in the middle of the base and I got off of her. I took off the helmet and cleared my throat as I looked over to the doctor of the base.
"Ratchet, aren't you forgetting something?" I say and put a hand on my hip. Ratchet turned towards me with a scowl on his face.
"No." he answered, short, simple and to the point.
"Really? My best friend is still waiting for you outside of school." I said and I smirked when Ratchet turned fully around faster than I ever thought he could move. His eyes were wide open and I could see a little regret in them. "You may wanna re-think that, Ratchet."
"Wendy. I'll be back." Ratchet said as he saved his files on the computer and turned to my guardian. "You're in charge of the groundbridge." Ratchet transformed and raced like a jet out of the base.
"I've never seen him move that fast in my life." Anna said as she walked beside of me. Before I could agree with her, honking was heard and some screeching tires. Ironhide stopped once the lights of the base hit him and the other two got out looking scared as hell. "What happened to you guys?"
"Ratchet came speeding like a bullet towards us and barely stopped." William said as he shook his joints loose. "'Hide had to swerve outta the way before we got hit."
"A little too much adrenaline for me." Michael said as he put a hand over his heart. "Wait...I thought Ratchet had already left to go pick up Wendy a few minutes ago?"
"No, and you guys would've seen him going down the road if he did." Zach said. "Hang on, you guys didn't leave her alone, did you?"
"No, Nick said he would stay with her for a little bit until Ratchet got there." William said and sneered. "I bet he still left her on her own." I rolled my eyes. Nick was actually a pretty good person. I wish they would both stop saying things like that about Nick. William and Michael need to get over Wendy.
"Nick is pretty nice. He wouldn't do anything to her or us." Anna said and crossed her arms. "Have a little trust in him, guys." I walked over to the couch and sat down. Oliver was there sleeping on the arm of the couch and I pet him. I just wish Ratchet would hurry and get my best friend here so I don't accidentally end up killing Michael. I was still petting Oliver and texted Wendy that Ratchet was on his way.
"Poor Wendy. He left her sitting outside for close to an hour." I said and looked at Oliver. "Your mommy will either be pissed off or she'll forgive him. It'll be the latter for sure." Great, I'm so bored I'm having a conversation with the cat. Granted, I talked to the cat sometimes because he was doing something cute, but I wouldn't talk to him like he was a human. I know I'm crazy, but not that crazy.
I sighed and checked my phone. Wendy hasn't texted me back at all. That's strange. Usually she answers me within a 30 second time range. I sat back and closed my eyes, thinking about what we're gonna do later today when Wendy gets here.
No one's POV
Ratchet drove as fast as he could without attracting any attention to himself through Jasper. The street was unusually quiet by the school and he parked by the front doors where Wendy usually sat waiting for him.
'I am such a fool. I broke Wendy's promise to meet her here. Now she'll be angry at me.' Ratchet thought as he activated his holoform. He looked around and he didn't see his charge. Where was she? 'Maybe she's just trying to scare me like one of the last few times I left her here.' But Ratchet had his motion sensors on and there wasn't a soul around him.
'Where could she be?' Ratchet wondered as he moved his holoform outside of him. Ratchet walked over to the school doors and checked inside. No one was there and the door was locked. Wendy couldn't be in the building if the doors were locked. Ratchet walked all around the school in hopes of finding his charge, but there was no trace of her. Now finally worried, Ratchet de-activated his holoform and activated his comm-link.
"Optimus, Wendy is not at the school. Has she returned to base?" Ratchet asked as he tried to keep the worry out of his voice.
"No, she has not returned to base, old friend." Optimus' voice said from the comm-link. "Have you checked the entire area?"
"Yes, but I have not seen her." Ratchet said as his fear started to creep up on him. Then he noticed something shining in the buses by the stairs. As Ratchet got a closer look, he realized that it was Wendy's stuff. "I found Wendy's bags in the bushes. Do you think someone may have taken her?"
"I do not know. Ratchet, it is best if you come back to base. We may have better luck finding Wendy here." Optimus said with some hinted worry in his voice.
"But Optimus, if Wendy has been taken, we need to find her now." Ratchet said as anger started to take place. "I cannot just sit at base and do nothing, I need to be searching out here!"
"Ratchet, I understand that you are worried about Wendy. I am worried for her as well and we need everyone here." Optimus said. "That is an order, Ratchet."
"Yes, sir." Ratchet said and closed the comm-link. As he drove back to base, the only thing Ratchet could think about was Wendy. Who took her and why were they after her? His mind wandered to the Decepticons and wondered if they found out where the kids went to school. Wendy was the only kid there from base and they took her and still haven't made a ransom video.
'Primus, please let Wendy be alright.' Ratchet thought as he sped down the road towards base.
Wendy POV
I felt terrible. My stomach hurt and I had a pounding headache. I knew I woke up and my brain was all in a haze. Where was I? I was blindfolded and my hands were tied behind my back. I remember trying to run from Brianna and Vince. I had to find out where they both decided to take me. I didn't stir or make a sound; it was the number one way of knowing where you could be if you've been kidnapped.
I listened to my surroundings the best I could. I heard the sound of a motor. I was in a car. Probably still Vince's car if they haven't moved me. I think I was in the backseat lying down and the car was moving. I heard Vince talking and the car stopped.
"Just get outta here and make sure to be ready for my payment tonight." Vince said and I heard the door open. "I have a pack of condoms in the bag, so you don't have to worry about buying any." What!?
"Good. And make sure you pay your friends to keep quiet and say you were at a party. I already paid my friends and they'll say I was at a party." Brianna said and then she shut the door. Vince immediately took off and I laid there in silence as I tried to take in what they both just said. Brianna was gonna pay Vince by having sex with him!? I heard that she had repaid a few guys before like that, but I never paid attention to them. I just thought they were rumors. Who knew that they were true?
After getting over the shock, I tried to make sure I was breathing like I was still sleeping. Vince kept on driving until he finally stopped somewhere off a bumpy road. Where were we? Vince got out of the front end of the car and I got ready for anything that would happen. The car door opened and Vince grabbed me by the under arms and lifted me out.
"Hey, baby doll, wake up." Vince said and shook me real hard. I didn't do anything, I was still waiting for the right time. Vince held me with one arm and I allowed myself to slump a little to make it look like I was still asleep. Vince started to use a knife to cut my hands free and I decided to strike.
The second my arms were free, I turned and punched Vince as hard as I could. I heard him shout out in pain and anger. I quickly took off the blindfold and looked at my surroundings. We were near a few trees and there was no signs of life whatsoever. It was also pretty late outside and it looked like a storm coming. As Vince started to get back up, I punched him again in the stomach and kicked his legs out from underneath him.
"That's for earlier, dickwad!" I said and started to RLH. There was a small trail big enough where a car could fit. I guess that's where Vince came through. I started to run on the trail and got my phone out. I noticed that they have been trying to call me for 2 hours. Have I been out cold for that long? I immediately called the last person who tried to call me and that was Ratchet. "Pick up, dammit!" It wasn't about a second after I said that when Ratchet answered.
"Wendy, where in Primus' name are you?" Ratchet's angry voice said from the other end. "Nevermind, what happened? Are you ok?"
"Ratchet, I need help! I don't know where I am, possibly at the edge of town-" I screamed as Vince tackled me to the ground and I dropped the phone. "Get off!"
"You bitch! You'll pay for that!" Vince said and started to slap me. I blocked my face and tried to crawl away. Vince grabbed my ankle and dragged me back. "You're not getting away that easily!" Before I knew it, Vince picked me up by the waist and started to walk away with me.
"No! Put me down, asshole!" I screamed and kicked my legs around. Vince dropped me when I kicked him in the back. Once I hit the ground I tried to make a run for it. Vince knocked me to the ground and he kicked me in the side hard. I felt pain and Vince took the opportunity to smack me in the face when I moved my arms to my head. "Help me!"
"No one will hear you out here!" Vince yelled over my screams of pain and quickly picked me up. He put me back in the car and locked the doors. "Now to get what I wanted from you." I got scared by those words and tried to yank open the door.
M-rated scene starts here. Don't like it? Don't read it, skip over it.
"Let me out!" I screamed as Vince pulled me back by my hair and he got on top of me. "Vince, get off! Let me go!" I screamed and tried to punch him off. But he didn't get off. Vince got out a syringe and he grabbed one of my arms.
"This'll make you enjoy it." Vince said with a dangerous smirk and my eyes widened in fear.
"No, please, don't do this! Please, just let me go!" I screamed and tried to keep my arms from getting stabbed with the needle. But he trapped one arm and then inserted the needle. I screamed and tried to fight him off. "No, please! I'll do anything but this, please!" I started to freak out and the memories were vividly coming back to me.
"Shut up! You'll either cooperate with me and enjoy it or it gets worse!" he yelled and hit me in the face.
"C'mon, baby doll. You'll enjoy this as much as I will." Vince said as he picked up a small pack and opened it to bring out a condom. Oh my god. "Let's see what you got underneath the shirt." I was getting a little dizzy and the headache I had wasn't making me feel better. My arms felt like jelly and I couldn't fight back. Vince removed my shirt, revealing my purple tank top. Vince started to rub my boobs and I let my tears fall.
I wanted to disappear from this spot. I wanted to be with my parents, not here repeating the past. I could barely talk thanks to whatever that drug was that he gave me. I could only whimper as I felt him pull down my jeans to reveal my underwear. I cried and whimpered more as he rubbed against that area. I felt the memories hit me in the face.
He was taking off my clothes and I screamed for someone to help me. But no one came through the door and he rubbed his hand down there. "Please! Stop!" I screamed and got a slap in the face.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time." Vince said and the world became a blur. It was just like last time. Help wasn't coming and Vince started to bite me on the neck and chest. His hands were groping me and touching me everywhere. I heard something tear and I thought I saw Vince started to unbutton his pants. No! "Now I finally got you where I want you."
I continued to scream and cry as he hit me. He got on top of me and started to unbutton his pants. "Now I got you where I want you." he said and held my arms down. There was no escaping and no one to help me. I was alone in this.
End of M-rated scene
But then, Vince was gone. He wasn't on top of me. Was it the drug playing tricks on me? I heard other people's voices in the background and someone yelling. The world was spinning again and I felt like I was floating. Someone tugged my jeans back up and put something around me. I felt someone grab me and lift me up. My body felt heavy and I slumped in the arms of whoever had me. My vision was blurred, especially when the person holding me was moving fast.
"Wendy!" a familiar voice said. Their voice sounded far away and I was passed into someone else arms. "Sleep now, my child. No more harm shall come to you."
"Wendy!" someone else said. "Please be alright!" I felt my eyes get heavy and someone petting my hair as I fell asleep.
A few hours later...
I woke up and my everything hurt. I was in a hospital room. Jack, Miko and Raf were lying in the corner on the floor asleep, the Outcasts were spaced out in the other corners and some of the Autobots were there sitting in the chairs. Mama and Dad saw me and they rushed over.
"Wendy!" Mama said and she hugged me. As soon as she let go, Dad hugged me and gave me a kiss on the forehead. "I'm so glad you're ok!"
"Guys...it hurts." I whimpered and everyone else noticed.
"I'm so sorry." Mama said and she pet my hair. Then Nurse Darby came in.
"Wendy, I'm glad to see you're awake." Nurse Darby said.
"Thanks." I said and noticed bruises on my arms. "How bad am I?"
"You have bruises and a few cuts, nothing serious." Nurse Darby said and I remembered what Vince gave me in the needle.
"What did Vince give me in that needle?" I asked and everyone's faces were grim.
"He gave you a sedative that would make you go unconscious for a little while." Nurse Darby said and I nodded in understanding. "You'll be free to go in an hour."
"Thanks, Nurse Darby." I said and she left the room. The rest of the Outcasts came over to the bed. "Hey guys."
"Wendy, you look like you got hit by a bus." Michael said and Kathy smacked him. "Ow! Ok, I deserved that."
"I do?" I said and Anna gave me her mirror. I couldn't recognize my face for a moment. it was red, black, blue and purple in some places. "Oh. What happened to Vince?"
"He got beat up by most of us and the police took him." Zach said, his voice filled with hate. "I hope that asshole gets locked up for life!"
"We don't know what the police will do to him for sure." Jack said as he stretched. "They said they may go to court or something. And they need you there."
"I don't care about court, just letting him get the punishment her deserves." I said and yawned.
"Are you sleepy?" Mama asked and I nodded. "You can go to sleep." Everyone started to leave the room to grab a bite to eat and use the restroom. Mama, Dad and Ratchet stayed behind.
"Wendy, I have to speak to you alone." Ratchet said and my parents nodded and left the room. "Wendy, I'm so sorry for letting this happen to you. If I had come earlier to pick you up from school, none of this would have happened."
"Ratchet, it wasn't your fault. Brianna and Vince both plotted it out and they would've done it anyway at some other time." I said and pet his hand that was out to me. "I'm not mad at you. You have nothing to feel sorry for." I said and Ratchet smiled and held my hand. We both blushed and I yawned once more, feeling the sleepiness coming back.
"You need your sleep. Goodnight, Wendy." Ratchet said and carefully pet my hand.
"Goodnight." I yawned and fell asleep.
