Captured

Things had been fine so far today. I'd gotten up and gone through my usual routine. When I walked out of my room, I swear I heard moans and groans coming from Maria's room.

Cammie must've heard them as well, because she was staring at the door in shock. I put my hands on her shoulders, steering her away.

"Let's leave the lovebirds alone."

She didn't say a thing, just allowing me to guide her to the rec room. When we got there, I let her go. I headed for the kitchen and she followed.

She collapsed in a chair, her head falling onto the table.

"It's not fair! It's not fair! It's not fair!" Cammie whined, having a bit of a tantrum. She looked up at me, her lower lip sticking out in a pout.

"I want love!" she cried, letting her head fall back on the table.

I rolled my eyes at her. "Cammie… having a tantrum won't do anything."

She picked her head up. "I know… but it's not fair!"

Her head fell back down. I sat down across from her.

"Maybe if you told a certain mech how you felt about him, that might happen to you."

Cammie looked at me. "Kat, I can't just go up and say "I love you." Besides… I'm waiting for the right time."

"I'm just saying, the sooner you tell him, the sooner that might happen."

"But it's so hard!" Cammie whined.

I sighed. "I guess you have a point. I can't even tell a certain mech that I love him."

"My point."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. I gotta go to the med bay."

"Okay. Bye, Kat!" Cammie called after my retreating form.

Later; Med Bay…

"You are an aft-head!"

"And you're a no good, slaggin femme!"

"Take that back!" I screamed, throwing a human sized wrench at Ratchet's helm. He managed to dodge it, glaring heatedly at me.

We were having one of our fights again. There was something different though. There was more hate, more tension…

Cammie and the twins had come in earlier when they'd heard us. They'd noticed the change and Cammie had the twins call Optimus.

Speak of the mech…

"What's going on?" he asked. Sides handed Cammie to Optimus. The others came in as well, curious as to what was going on.

"Kat and Ratchet are fighting. But… it's worse than normal. I think someone could get hurt." Cammie told him, whispering the last part.

I ignored her, focusing on the mech I was fighting with. Sunstreaker grabbed Midnight, keeping her away from both of us.

"Take back what you said!" I hissed, referring to what Ratchet had said earlier.

"No!" he hissed.

"Take it back!"

"No! You are a no good, slaggin femme that can't keep her mouth shut! You are one of the most annoying and useless humans I've ever met and I'm beginning to wish I'd never met you!"

Ratchet stopped yelling when he saw the hurt look on my face.

"Femme I-"

"Sideswipe!" I called out, interrupting Ratchet. "Get me down."

"But sis-"

"NOW!"

Sides hesitated, but got me down from the berth anyway. I sprinted out of the med bay, not letting my tears fall. I heard heavy footfalls behind me and stopped. Sides bent down and picked me up.

I curled up in his hand. "Can we go somewhere quiet please?"

He nodded, going to the garage and transforming. I silently got in the driver's seat. Sides did the seatbelt for me and we drove out of the base.

I stayed silent the whole time, tears leaking out. Sides didn't say a word, just driving around Tranquility. He stopped at a park.

"Sis? You okay?"

I sniffled, wiping at my eyes. "I will be. Just give me some time."

A while later, the sound of a car pulling up caught my attention. I looked out the window and saw Sunny drive up with the girls. Sides opened the door and I slowly got out.

The girls got out of Sunny, heading for me.

"Kat are you okay?" Cammie asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." I told her.

She hugged me. "I'm so sorry." She whispered in my ear.

I hugged her back. "It's okay."

The girls took turns hugging me. I smiled, glad to have such caring friends. The sound of a jet or something came to my ears.

"Girls, get in now." The twins said, slowly backing up.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Decepticons." Sunstreaker answered.

My eyes widened and so did the girls. I turned to them, my expression serious.

"Cammie, you're with me and Sides. The rest of you are with Sunstreaker."

The girls nodded, scurrying to their designated Autobot. Once inside, the twins strapped us in and sped off. Cammie fearfully looked out the window. I grabbed her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

I felt rumbling close by. An F-22 Raptor flew over us and Sides stepped on the gas.

"What was that?" I asked.

"That was Starscream." Sides growled. "He's second in command."

I paled and so did Cammie. Something else flew overhead and my eyes widened when I recognized the jet.

"That's Thundercracker." I whispered. The sound of sirens rang in my ears and I fearfully looked behind us.

"It's Barricade!" Cammie shouted.

I turned back forward. "Sides, step on it! We're outnumbered! We need more help!"

Sides went as fast as he could, Sunstreaker right next to us with the other girls. I glanced at Cammie. She was very pale and her eyes were wide.

Suddenly, she screamed, pointing out the windshield. I looked forward and gasped.

Thundercracker was heading right for us!

Sides slammed on the brakes, tossing us out and transforming. Thundercracker transformed and barreled into him, falling into a building. People screamed, trying to get away.

Cammie and I bounced off the pavement, landing on a nearby sidewalk. I forced myself to sit up despite the pain. Cammie did too.

Tires squealing caught my attention. My head shot up and I looked for the source of the noise.

Barricade was speeding toward us!

"Move!" I screamed, tackling Cammie out of the way. We rolled away, Barricade just barely missing us. He backed up, turning to us again. I yanked Cammie up and ran. The sound of metal shifting was heard. Heavy footsteps followed after us and we sped up.

"Stay away from them!" a voice shouted. Something barreled into Barricade, sending him into a building. Cammie and I dived to the ground, trying to avoid the debris. I quickly got up and looked behind us.

Sunny had tackled Barricade and was attempting to hold him down. He looked over at us.

"Get the others and run!"

"I'm not leaving you!" I shouted back.

"Kat, we have to!" Cammie shouted, dragging me away.

"No!" I screamed, tears threatening to fall.

"He'll be fine! We're in more danger than he is!"

I forced myself to look away. I shook off Cammie's grip, sprinting to the others. They met us half-way.

"Sides told us to go!" Alana said.

"Sunny told us the same thing!" I said. "Let's go! We have to contact the others!"

"I don't think so!" an unfamiliar voice said. My first thought was that it had to be Starscream. He transformed, swiping at us with his hand.

I went flying through the air, crashing into a shop window. Glass cut at my skin and I fell to the floor. I struggled to sit up. I looked for the other girls, but couldn't see them.

"We need the others."

I fished around in my pockets for my Bluetooth. I panicked when I couldn't find it. Something glinted in the sunlight and I gasped.

Out in the middle of the street was my Bluetooth. Right in the middle of the fight.

I stood, staggering a bit. "I have to get it."

Gritting my teeth, I walked out of the shop, glass crunching under my shoes.

"Kat!"

I turned and saw Cammie heading toward me. She had bruises forming on her skin.

"What happened to you?" I asked.

"I got knocked into the side of a building. What about you?"

"Knocked through a window."

Cammie looked out at the destruction. "We need to contact the guys."

"I know. That's what I'm about to do."

I sprinted to where my Bluetooth was, ignoring Cammie's calls. I lunged, grabbing it.

"Kat, look out!" I heard Alana scream from somewhere.

I didn't have time to dodge. Starscream swiped at me again. I landed hard on the pavement. I grit my teeth, trying to ignore the pain. I unclenched my hand, glad that the Bluetooth was still there.

A scream rang through my ears and I quickly sat up. Sides was down, energon leaking out. Sunny was struggling to fight Thundercracker and Barricade. I looked over at the girls.

Starscream had grabbed an unconscious Maria and Paige. He handed them off to Barricade, leaving Thundercracker to fight Sunny.

I put the Bluetooth in my ear, trying to contact Ratchet.

"Please answer! Please answer!" I chanted.

"Yes?"

"Ratchet!"

"Femme? What's wrong?"

"Ratchet we're-" I was cut off when Starscream knocked me into a building. I screamed in pain, falling to the ground.

"Femme!? FEMME!?"

I didn't move, my vision starting to fade. Starscream had a now unconscious Alana and Cammie in his grasp. Sunny was losing and Sides needed help. I struggled to speak.

"Decepticons… in trouble… girls captured… twins down… need help…"

My hand fell away from the Bluetooth, my vision starting to go dark.

"FEMME!?"

Starscream marched over, reaching out to grab me.

"Femme, answer me!"

That was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
