Juliana's P.O.V:

Things tonight have gone from bad to worse. First I nearly miss show because I over slept, than as the show starts I suddenly felt sick, after we started to play our part I saw the Autobots watching in the lot and if that didn't make me even more nervous I don't know what will, and now I've been taken by the police to the station.

Mr. Powers had taken me aside from Miko, Jack, and Raf saying that he needed to speak with me and since I wasn't feeling good I really couldn't put up a fight. As he pulled me behind the school, I saw the police and their car waiting for us. I was just about to ask Mr. Powers what they were doing here but before I could he pushed me towards them, "This is her."

Before I could turn and run the police jumped me and slammed me into the cop car, roughly, and cuffed my hands behind my back. "Juliana Pax, you are under arrest." One of the officers shouted as he pushed me into the back of the car.

"Thank you for bringing her to us Mr. Powers. We've been trying to get this one for a couple of weeks." The other officer spoke to Mr. Powers who just nodded slowly. "I can believe she did something like this; she seemed like such a sweet and quiet child." Mr. Powers looked over at me with what looked like sorrow in his eyes.

"That's what all criminals act like. Make you think they're all innocent and when you least expect it they attack." The first officer spoke as he slipped into the car. "We would appreciate it if you wouldn't contact her parents. We'll do that at the station." The second one said before Mr. Powers could tell them that I had no parents.

As the cops started the car up, I looked out the window to see Mr. Powers walking away and not too far behind him was Miko. Miko looked ready to scream and chase after us but the cops were already driving away.

As I watched Miko's figure grow smaller and smaller, I couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen next for me. "Where are you taking me?" I asked and I was surprised to hear my voice come out horse.

"To the station; there a few other officers will speak with you and then after that you will be taken to a detention hall." The second officer said and turned back to the road ahead of us.

As the rest of the drive went by in silence we soon came to the police station. It wasn't too large but it still had many police officers inside it and out. As the car came to a stop, the first officer got out and opened my door. As he pulled me out, he and the other officer walked me into the building.

Taking a couple of turns down some halls, we soon came to an interrogation rooms with that one way window. As the officer un-cuffed my hands he opened the door and shoved me into the room; so hard that I fell to the floor and smacked my head with a THUD!

Picking myself up, I saw a small drip of blood on the floor. Placing my hand over my over my lips I felt the blood coming from a long cut that started on my top lip to my bottom one. I could tell this was going to scar over slightly.

Whipping away the blood with my hand, I took in the room I was in. It wasn't a large room, just the window, a table, three chairs, and a single light hanging from the ceiling. Taking a seat in a chair, I whipped my lips again and I saw that the blood was still coming. Taking off the color cloth I had over my cast, I placed it over my lip to hopefully stop the bleeding.

After a while the door opened and two other officers came in; a man and a women. The woman had short light blond hair and was extremely skinny; if she didn't have her jacket on I would say she looked like a living toothpick. She had a file in her hands and when she first took her green eyes away from it she gasped and placed it down on the table. "What happened to you?" she asked as she took away my cloth to see my busted lips. "the one who brought me in slammed me into the floor and I busted my lip."

The women growled and gave me the cloth back. "Dam that Kevin; I told him to not take this personally." She continued to babble on as she walked out of the room, leaving me alone with the older man.

The man had a mix of black and gray hair and his brown eyes showed off his age a little. He wasn't as tall as the women but he carried himself making him look like h could take anyone down.

As the women came back, she had a cup of water with her and she had bandage cloth. "Here, this is a lot better than that cloth you have there." Taking the things from the women, I tossed my old cloth on the table and placed the new one on my lips. Once I had cleaned up some of the blood I took a sip of the water and my lips left a blood stain on the cup.

"So who do we have with us today?" the man said as he picked up the file. "Juliana Pax; formally Juliana Carter. Attends Jasper High school and has no after school activities besides the Troubled Teens club. No other files than the ones that started when you started Jasper High." The man never looked away from the file as he read.

As I listened to him speak about me, I laughed to myself; it had been so long since I had heard my real last name and now it kind of felt off. Since I was staying with the Autobots and since Optimus was made legal guardian he thought it would be best if I took his old last name.

"So tell me Juliana, do you know why you're here?" the man asked me, finally putting the file down on the table. "To be honest sir, no I do not." I said trying not to reopen the cut on my mouth.

The man looked over at the woman and she nodded. as they both took a seat down in the other two chairs, the women took the file and pulled out a piece of paper. "Do you know of a boy named Vince?" she asked and handed me the paper.

Taking the paper, I looked at the photo of Vince but I had to say that he had seen better days. Vince's left arm was in a cast from his finger tips to his shoulder, he had a bandaged wrapped around his head, he had a huge black eye and he was hooked up to a breathing tube.

"Yeah I know Vince. Real big jerk at school; wouldn't leave me alone." I said as I handed the paper back to the lady. "Who did that to him?" I asked. The man gave off a chuckle and the women only rolled her eyes. "Vince was attacked a while ago and fell into a coma. Just a few days ago he woke up and told us who his attacker was." The women spoke softly as she gave me worried looks. The man on the other hand just looked at me with complete hate and anger.

"Vince told us that it was you who attacked him." The man shouted out and pointed an accusing finger at me. I could only sit there in shock; they actually think I attacked Vince. I could barely keep Squirt in check back at base, how in the world could I beat up a muscle kid like Vince?

"He's lying. I never beat him up." I said but the man only laughed. "I don't know how many times I've heard that before." The women glared at the man and then turned back to me. "If you didn't do it, than who did? Vince was very detailed about how it was you who beat him up and how you had this wild look in your eyes."

I could only sit there dumbly. If this was Vince's way of getting back at me for not going out with him than he had another thing coming. "Come on Mary, you can't really think she didn't do it. Look at her; she has 'I did it' written all over her."

I couldn't help but give myself a look over; did I really look that out of place? "From the hair to her eyes; I'm telling you she's our culprit." The man slammed his fists into the table and I couldn't help but yelp in surprise. "Not only are you reported for injuring Vince but a man came in here not too long ago saying how a girl with your description stole from him."

I could tell I had a worried look on my face; that fat man had reported me and now it was coming back to bite me in the butt. "Cool it Carl! You're freaking her out." Mary said as she up from her seat and walked over to me. Mary didn't look like she believed what Carl was saying and I could also see the sympathy in her eyes.

"You okay sweetheart? You're looking kind of pale." To be honest, I didn't feel so good. My body was screaming cold and my head felt like it was filled with a hundred bees buzzing inside it. "I'm just really cold." I said and Mary placed a hand on my forehead. "You're burning up. Carl, come with me. We're going to go get her something to cool her off."

Carl looked at Mary with an angry puzzled look. "Why can't you go get it? Leave me alone with this creep long enough and I'll have our answers in no time." Carl gave me a crooked smile and it only caused chills to crawl up my spine.

"And that's same reason why I don't want to leave you with her alone. She's sick and she's still a kid; she doesn't need to deal with your harassment." Mary pulled on Carl's arm and they were both out the door with a slam.

As I sat there waiting for them to return, I couldn't help but slump in my chair. I just felt suddenly uneasy and I felt ready to fall over. My body was now so cold that it was burning and my eyes kept going in and out of focus. Placing my head I my hands, I saw a drop of dark purple liquid fall from my face to the table.

Picking my head up slowly, I rubbed my finger across my nose and I saw more purple liquid covering it. Seeing this odd purple liquid startled me but not as much as what happened next. As the purple liquid slowly continued to drip out of my nose and onto the table, once it touched the table it hissed and evaporated quickly.

I didn't know what was happening but I could guess it wasn't good. As I was about to cover my nose to stop the 'bleeding', the purple drips stopped. Looking at my hand I saw that my finger no longer had the purple liquid on it; as if it never had any on it.

Maybe I was losing it, I must be sicker than I thought I was. Resting my head back in my hands, I thought I heard someone shouting outside the room I was in. I guess there was an argument going on outside as the shouting grew louder and the came closer.

Suddenly the door slammed open and I saw a familiar worried face. "Optimus." Optimus' holoform smiled and rushed over to me and pulled me into a tight embrace. "Juliana are you alright?" Optimus' voice sounded very concerned and as he pulled away I saw the concern in his eyes as well. "I am now that you're here." Pulling him back into the hug, I held onto Optimus like if I let go he would disappear.

"Where are you keeping her?! Where is she!" looking over at the door, I listened to the familiar sounding shouts coming closer. As Optimus pulled out of the hug again, he turned to the door and we both watched as a man rushed into the room.

This guy was a little older looking than Optimus since his dark brown hair was slightly gray, he was shorter than Optimus but he was still taller than me, he was dressed in a doctors outfit with the long white lab coat to the stethoscope around the neck, and his eyes were a dull blue-green color but they somehow had a shine to it.

I didn't know how I knew it but once I had my eyes on him I already knew who it was. "Ratchet?" As he rushed over to me, Optimus stood up and allowed Ratchet to pull me into an even tighter embrace. "Juliana! When Miko told us what happened I couldn't believe it. Are you alright, what happened to you?"

Ratchet asked as he placed his hand under my chin to get a better look at my busted lips. The look in his eyes told me that if Ratchet found the guy had caused this he most likely would do something ten times worse to him. "It's nothing Ratchet. Can we please just get out of here and go home?" I asked and both Ratchet and Optimus nodded.

"I don't think that will be happening any time soon." Turning our gaze to the still open door, we saw Carl standing there with Mary and two other cops. "We haven't finished interrogating her yet and charges have to be made. She isn't going anywhere anytime soon." Carl looked at me with a twisted smile and I couldn't help but slip into Ratchet protecting hug. "You have no right to keep her here. She's a minor and you don't have her guardians' permission to have her here!" Ratchet shouted as he gentle stroked my hair in a calming manner.

"Well, which one of you is her legal guardian?" Mary asked and Optimus stepped forward, crossing his arms and giving them a look that showed he was less than pleased. "I am." Mary nodded and opened her mouth to saw something but was stopped when Carl butted in.

"Well Mr. Pax, do we have permission to finish what we started or do we need to be unreasonable and get a warrant?" Carl looked at Optimus with a look that read 'I don't really care what you say' and 'you're wasting my time'.

"I suggest that you get that warrant than because I will not allow Juliana to be questioned alone without it." Optimus sounded more than mad but at the same time he still had his normal poker face expression.

As Optimus turned his back to the cops he held out a hand for me and I gladly took it but I still held onto one of Ratchet hands as well; not wanting to lose either of my safety nets. As Optimus turned back to the cops he stepped very close to Carl and stood over him like a towering giant, "We will be taking our leave now and we will be taking Juliana with us."

Carl and the two other cops behind him gave Optimus an angry glare but stepped aside for us to pass. As we passed them, they held their gaze on me and I couldn't help but whimper in fear. Once we out of the room, I looked at all the other cops that watched us as we slowly walked out of the station. I hated to have so many people looking at me and it made my already hurting stomach twist in discomfort.

Feeling gentle squeezes in both my hands, I looked at both Ratchet and Optimus who were only look ahead of them and ignoring the looks we were getting. Getting the clue, I squeezed their hands as well and looked forward with them. It helped a little but I still felt the looks even when we were out of the station.

"Thanks for coming for me guys." I said quietly and I was startled when I heard my voice. It sounded like I had a major cold and I had gargled nails. "It is alright Juliana. They had no right to take you away and when we find out why they did we will have Agent Fowler fix it." Optimus spoke as he looked down at me with a smile.

"Those humans don't know what they're doing! How they could ever think you could commit a crime Juliana is beyond me." Ratchet said as he brushed his other hand over my face to push a few lock of my hair away.

"Mr. Pax wait a moment!" as we came to a stop, Optimus and Ratchet turned us a round to that the cop named Mary come rushing out holding a file in her hand. "What do you want?" Ratchet spoke angrily and he have Mary a glare. "I just wanted to say sorry about how my comrades acted. Their all taking this case to seriously since it concerns Vince." Mary explained why she rushed over to us and it caused both Optimus and Ratchet raise questionable looks.

"Juliana is part of Vince's case?" Optimus asked and Mary nodded. "Vince woke up a while ago and he said that Juliana was his attacker. But I don't really believe that boy and how the other can troubles me. You see, Vince's father is the station chief and everyone is really good friends with him. Vince's father lets him get away with a lot of things and he pays the others to keep their mouths shut, so when they found out that Vince was hurt they all wanted to be put on the case. And when Vince woke up and told us who he thought was his attacker they all jumped the gun and said that Juliana was guilty and didn't need a trial to prove."

Optimus and Ratchet listened to Mary explain everything while I just stood there quietly. But after so long I started to feel dizzy and I ended up leaning on Ratchet. "You should get her home. She wasn't looking so good in the station and she doesn't look any better now." Mary said she looked down at me.

"Thank you for giving us this information." Optimus said as he looked at me with a worried expression. "Here take this; this is an extra copy of Vince's record and file case. Maybe it will help you when things heat up." Mary handed Optimus the file and slowly started to walk away.

"Why are you giving us this? Can't you lose your job for doing this?" Ratchet asked as he pulled my slouching body up a little. "I can but with the way Vince's father works this station and how he allows his son to do whatever he wants, I don't think I want to be part of this station anymore." Mary gave one final wave and walked back into the station.

"I think it is best we head back to base now Optimus. I think Juliana is coming down with something." Ratchet spoke as he pulled me up again. My body just felt like Jell-O and my head was pounding away like a marching band. "Are you alright Juliana?" Optimus asked and I shook my head. "Can we just go home please?" I asked and Optimus nodded.

"Come here Juliana, I don't think you'll make it more than three steps before you fall over." Ratchet spoke softly as he lifted me into his arms in a cradling position with my head resting between his chest and neck.

As Ratchet and Optimus continued to walk, we soon came to two familiar vehicles parked by the side of the road. "I think it might be best if she drives with you Optimus but I'm going to have my holoform come along if that's okay?" Ratchet spoke as they finally made it to Optimus' truck. Optimus nodded and walked over to the driver's side while Ratchet and I entered the passengers.

Once inside the cab, Ratchet placed me down next to him and buckled me in. Once Optimus started the truck up and placed his hands on his wheel, which since I had been living with them for so long now looked odd, we drove off with Ratchet's vehicle following close behind.

After a few minutes, my head started to get dizzy again so I laid my head down on Ratchet shoulder hoping to try and sleep this pain away. "Juliana you're burning up." Ratchet said as placed his hand over my forehead. "I don't feel warm. Optimus, could you turn on some heat please it's really cold in here."

Optimus looked at me with a confused look but he nodded and turned on the heating. It wasn't better but it was an improvement to how cold I was feeling. Snuggling up next to Ratchet, trying to find more heat, I opened my eyes but everything was blurry. My temperature must be high enough to be affecting my vision now.

"Try to rest Juliana; we'll be at the base soon." Optimus spoke while he patted my leg in a friendly gesture. I couldn't help but try to do what Optimus said but this dizzy feeling was causing me to have a hard time with that.

OoOoOoOoOo

Ratchet's P.O.V:

By the time we returned to base it was extremely late and Juliana had slipped into a light sleep but she would make discomforting noises every now and again. During the whole drive I had allowed Juliana to rest on my holoform's shoulder but even with her only slightly touching me, I could feel the heat radiating off her.

As Optimus came to a stop his holoform disappeared and the passenger door opened. "How is she doing Ratchet?" Optimus asked as I lifted Juliana up and climbed out of his cab. "She's burning up. It's enough to make my holoform sweat." I stated as I carried Juliana up the steps to the children's entertainment area.

Allowing my true body to transform along with Optimus', I placed Juliana down on the couch and pushed away the strands of hair that had gotten into her face. "She must be coming down with something severe Optimus. This morning she was fine; a little tired but none the less normal." I stated as I used the scanner on my true body to scan over Juliana.

"Do you think we should call June and see if she can do anything?" Optimus asked and I nodded. "That might be best. She knows more about human sicknesses than I do. So far my scans just show that she is just very weak." I spoke through my true body as my holoform brought a blanket over and placed it over Juliana's body.

As Optimus went to go call Nurse Darby, I stayed and watched as Juliana started to toss and turn under the blanket. Placing my hand down on Juliana's forehead, I nearly pulled back from the temperature; it had nearly skyrocketed from a few klicks ago.

"Optimus Activate the ground bridge and have Nurse Darby come through. Juliana's temperature just spiked." Optimus heard the urgency in my voice and quickly called Nurse Darby while he activated the ground bridge.

"Shut…" turning back to Juliana, I saw that she was still tossing under the blanket but she was whispering something. "What is it Juliana?" I asked trying to hold her head stead in my hands. "Shut… Shut Up!" she shouted and then she started to scream while holding my hands around her head.

"Optimus, Tell Nurse Darby to hurry up!" I shouted as I tried to calm down Juliana who was now lashing out at nothing. "Juliana! Juliana listen to me, everything is going to be alright." I tried to calm her down but nothing was working as Juliana continued to act out.

"Ratchet, what's wrong?!" turning around I was relieved to see Nurse Darby running up the steps. Behind her were the other children and the other were exiting out of the ground bridge one at a time.

"Juliana has a temperature and she started to lash out just before you came." I said as I stepped away for Nurse Darby to take a look at Juliana. "Will she be okay mom?" Jack asked as he and the other children finally made it to the top of the steps.

"Her temperature is burning to the touch. Whatever is wrong with her is affecting her enough to make her hallucinate." Nurse Darby said as he began to check over Juliana's vitals. "Juliana, look at me sweetie. What do you see?" Nurse Darby tried to hold Juliana still since her thrashing around had increased.

"Shut Up! Shut Up!" Juliana screamed this over and over again but the odd thing was that it didn't sound like she was saying it to us. "Juliana what-" right before our very optics we saw Nurse Darby fly across the room and right into the railing.

"Mom!" Jack shouted as he rushed over to Nurse Darby who was unresponsive. Looking back at Juliana, I nearly jumped in surprise at what I was seeing.

Juliana was now standing up and looking at us with the blankest expression I have ever seen but what was odd about her looking at us was that her eyes had become fully blue. No pupil, no iris, nothing but solid bright blue. And coming from her nose was a deep dark purple substance that looked similar to what humans called ink.

"J-Julie?" Rafael's voice showed the fear and worry that we all were feeling. "She was warned." Juliana spoke out but it didn't sound like Juliana. It was like her voice was being overlapped by someone else and when they combined together it created this horrifying sound of a broken boom box and a scratched chalkboard.

I was about to say something but before I could Juliana ran, faster than I have ever seen her go, down the steps and quickly turn down the hall. "Juliana Wait!" finally shutting off my holoform I, along with the others, rushed down the hall after Juliana.

"What was that about?! It sounded like Juliana was possessed or something." Bulkhead shouted as we tried to follow Juliana, who was going faster than we could run. "This sickness must be affecting her mind to a dangerous level. We have to get to her and BY PRIMUS!"

As we finally came to the hallway we saw Juliana take, we were surprised to see that it was the energon storage hall. But nothing could have prepared me for what I saw next.

Juliana was standing right in front of the door to the storage room and with one quick swing of her fist the door busted open. Every one of us stood there in shock; that door was too thick for anyone besides ourselves to open and here Juliana just gave one smack with her hand and it opened like nothing.

As Juliana rushed into the room, it finally dawned on me that she was going to come into direct contact with energon. "Stop her!" I shouted and we all rushed into the room but we all stopped as we came in. what we were seeing was at the same time bizarre and horrifying.

Juliana was standing in front of the largest energon cube in the room and looking up at it with widened eyes. As she slowly began to raise her hands up to the cube, we all reacted. "Juliana No!"

But it was too late for us to do anything. Once Juliana's hands touched the cube there were little sparks that traveled from the cube down Juliana's arms. I thought Juliana would be screaming in pain but as the sparks continued on and faster, I watched in shock at what was happening.

Suddenly the sparks became an endless flow of energy streams that funneled from the cube to Juliana, the cube started to spark and from the other sides many other electrical bolts came out and they call connected with Juliana's body. As each electric bolt touched Juliana, her body brightened up and her hair began to glow widely.

As the energy continued to flow around Juliana, it began to rip at her clothing; cutting holes in her dress, destroying her arm cast and almost burning off her headband. As the event was happening, I saw how the long this went on the duller the cube's color would get and how the top of the cube started to steam.

"By the All Spark." As the cube's color completely turned to a familiar gray, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Juliana's hair suddenly grew and the amount that had been cut off some time ago was replaced and the electric looking shine that it used to have also returned if not even brighter.

All of us just stood there in shock; the cause for the gray cubes was none other than our Juliana… my Juliana.

As the electrical sparks stopped, Juliana slowly removed her hands and backed away from the cube. After a few moments Juliana turned around and yelped at seeing us. No one moved, we didn't say a thing, I bet we didn't even blink; we just stood there in shock.

"Juliana," Optimus finally broke the silence but he never got to finish as Juliana shouted out, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean for this to happen!" Before anyone of us could say something more, a small looking version of the ground bridge opened a few feet away from Juliana.

Juliana looked over at the small portal than back at us before quickly say, "I can't stay and cause harm to you guys anymore; I have to go!" And she quickly ran into the portal with it closed behind her; leaving the rest of us alone in the room.

REALLY long CHPTR.

But I think it's not my best. (Makes fart noise and gives a thumbs down) the next one I think will be a lot better but I will let you guys decide.

Sorry about the wait also, this CHPTR was a pain in my rear end. I think I deleted and redid this at least two or three times before I got to this.

Review please, I like good nice reviews.
