Parcial Explanations

Miles cringed from his place in Prowls front seat. Right now though he was just thankful that he carried around an extra pair of cloths because cloths were the one thing that didn't go with you when you fazed. The ride so far had been silent.

He knew that Prowl was taking him back to the base. Chances are that either he or Ironhide had reported what had happened at the market to Optimus. And Miles was quite sure that the leader wanted answers. Answers that he'd be more than happy to give in exchange for protection from Sam when he got to the base.

He knew that Sam was mad, he could feel the buzzing rage in the back of his head. Will, Anna, and Ironhide weren't far behind them. Will hadn't really done anthing after the short fight but mutter a shocked 'thanks'. Will was in shock, Ironhide was confused and Prowl was sure to fritz soon enouf.

Things weren't looking good at the moment. At least now he had a way to ask for help from the Autobots without breaking anymore rules than he already had. At least he wouldn't be in as much trouble as Kale if the elders ever found out about his and Eddie's little stunt. Kale had crossed a very fine line and there was no going back for him or his pack.

God had Kale crossed the line. He'd gone from stupid idiotic pack leader to psyco killer pack leader in no more than three days and now he knew that a fight was inevitable between them. Sam wouldn't like it at all. He perfered peace like Optimus but it didn't look like he was going to get it anytime soon.

Miles could see the enterance to the base ahead of them and was counting down the seconds untill the interragation began. He felt the buzzing anger in the back of his head receed a bit and he had to wonder if Bumblebee had calmed Sam down a bit.

It seemed possable and he hoped that that was what had happened. Prowl's tires squeeked a bit as he stopped and opened the driver's side door. Miles gave the dash a nervous smile before he unbuckled his seatbelt and climed out of the Saleen. He felt like he was walking to his doom and who knew maybe he was.

----------

Optimus eyed the nervous young man in front of him. Miles looked like he'd rather have been anywere but at the base at the moment but for once he couldn't bring himself to offer the young man comfort. Optimus needed to know what was going on because Will and Annabelle had almost been killed by a wolf. A wolf that was easilily the same size as Ironhide's altmode and Miles had saved them by turning into a wolf that was just about the same size.

"Miles I need you to tell me what's going on." Miles gulped. He really didn't want to do this alone but it seemed like he didn't have much of a choice at the moment.

"What exactly do you guys want to know? Several questions rang out at once and Miles found it hard to focus on any one voice. "One at a time please." It was Optimus who voiced his question first as if by some unanamus and silent vote.

"Why don't we start with what are you?"

"Well thats actually kinda complicated."

"You're a werewolf aren't you." Will's voice rang clear the next moment. Miles grinned. That was actually the response he'd been half way hoping for.

"Yes and no. You didn't notice earlier but it's not a full moon tonight that rule dosn't apply to us. Though we do tend to get a really strong urge to change during the fullmoon. We are however considered a class of werewolf because our first transformations occur during the fullmoon and I did contract this from getting bitten but I can't infect other people. If you want to be more accurate I'm actually a shapeshifter. I can change whenever I want." Miles counted the seconds in his head as he waited for the next question. He really wished Sam were there with him. He could explain things so much better.

"You said that you can't infect others. What do you mean?" Ratchet asked. Primus he was ready to learn everything about this sudden twist in humans.

"Only people who are born shapeshifters can turn other people into shapeshifters or whatever you'd consider me. It's some weird quork. I think it's so we don't infect a person if we bite them in self deffense or something."

Prowl stood listening to his human charge speak. All the while trying his hardest not to fritz. It was confusung listening to his human but something was bothering him. Miles was switching between the words me and we. So he knew what he was going to ask because he wanted to make sure his theory was right. "You said you can't spread the virus which means you were bitten by someone else. Who bit you Miles?"

Damn. Miles had really been hoping that none of them would ask him that question because he really didn't want to answer it. That and he was sure that in some way all of them already knew.

"Don't you know already?" Prowl tilted his head a bit.

"I have a theory but I want to make sure I'm not jumping to conclusions." Miles chewed on his lower lip for a moment hoping that someone would interviene with another question. That wasn't going to happen because at that moment all eyes and optic's were glued on him.

"Oh for the love of the lady I bit him." Saved by Sam. Every head turned to look at Sam as he walked across the room. Sam on the other hand was looking strait at Miles. "Come here Miles." Sam wagged his finger in the 'come here' motion. Miles in a futile attempt to save himself (at least in his mind) stood his ground. "Miles." Sam's voice had taken on a more serious command and Miles shook his head in defiance. A low growl. "I said come here. Do it now Miles."

Miles shuffled his feet for a moment before he started walking over toward Sam. The other occupents in the room were stairing at the two boys in confusion and shock. At both the tone Sam had used (one that they'd never herd) and at Miles sudden willingness to move. Miles walked with his head hung low and stopped about two feet away from Sam, who crossed his arms when his friend reached him. Sam sighed.

"Look at me Miles. I'm not that mad not yet at least." Miles looked up enouf to make eye contact. "Now tell me what happened." Miles words were quiet as he told Sam what had happened between him and Eddie earlier. Sam's fists tightened as the story went on. "HE DID WHAT!" Sam shouted at the end.

A loud cry sounded from Annabelle, who had been sleeping, at Sam's shout. Sam cringed at the sudden noise.

"Sorry Will. Please Miles tell me your joking."

"Fraid not man. Ask Prowl and Hide and Will they were there too."

"He's telling the truth Samuel. That other wolf tried to kill them." Sam nodded at Prowl's words before running a hand over his face. "Okay for now lets just focus on getting these guys filled in. Is Jazz listening?"

"Yes."

"Is Kaela with him?"

"No."

"Good. Last thing I need is her freaking out."

"Is that truley wise Sam? Keeping Mikaela from this when she could be in danger as well." Sam looked Optimus straight in the optic for a moment.

"You guys are freaked out by this. What makes you think me telling her that I'm actually a werewolf and my cousins psychotic friend wants her for a mate would go over any better than how it went here? Besides I don't wanna chance it?"

"Chance what Sam?" Bumblebee asked as he looked down at his human. He'd been listening in as well and as strange as what was going on was he'd actually seen stranger. Sam shook his head and glanced at his guardian. That was a question he wasn't going to answer.

"What the hell's going on Sam? Why'd that guy try to attack me and Anna?" Will asked as he rocked Annabell. Sam sighed and looked up at Will.

"Congrats Will you've offically become a target in my cousin's own personal war. He attacked you and Anna because he could smell your scent on me and it was strong enough for one of his pack to fallow it." Will looked at Sam not quite sure what to say.

"So he tried to kill Will because he knew you?" Ironhide's voice was a low rumble and the rage in it was quite evident. Sam nodded his head.

"Pretty much. You forget that I don't have many friends and you guys smell more or less like cars are supposed to smell. I'm around Will enouigh for them to have a clear scent. So yes he would have killed Will to try and get me mad."

"Why is he doing this Samuel?" Optimus asked as he looked down at the youg man.

"He wants to start his own liitle war."

"Why?"

Sam fought the urge to roll his eyes even through the next words out of his mouth were completly serious. "He wants me dead and he'll do anything and everything he can to make it seem like my death wasn't his fault." Eyes and optic's looked at Sam as if he was insane. Things like this made even their weird life a whole hell of a lot weirder.

"He won't get his way? Will he?" Ratchet asked as his optics shifted around the room. Sam shruged a bit before he looked up at the CMO.

"He already has. He threatened Mikeala last night and I told him I'd kill him myself if he did anything to her. So he already has what he wants but he dosn't seem to realize that I can use the same excuse as him."

"And what excuse would that be?"

"Defemding my pack and my territory." "And his love interest." Miles piped as he looked at Sam and grinned. Sam looked as if he was about to smack Miles on the back of the head but before he could he stopped and got an almost frightened look on his face.

"Will is Sarah at home?" Sam aked his voice shaking. Will raised an eyebrow at Sam's question but answered it anyway.

"Ya she was getting ready to make dinner when we left to get groceries.

"Why?"

Sam's whole body tensed and he shot Miles a look. "Call her and tell her to pack some cloths for all of you. You can't stay at your house Will."

"Why not?" It was Miles who answered Will's question.

"Because last time we changed we added your ptoperty to our peremiter before we went hunting. He's gonna be able to find your house." Will's face pailed and he couildn't even get his mouth working. He knew what had Sam so worried now.

"Will get Anna back in her carseat. You and Hide need to go get Sarah." Sam turned to look at Miles. "Miles ride in the back with them just in case and I'll fallow behind you." Miles nodded. "Can do Sam."

"Sam?" Bumblebee asked as he took a step forward. "You and Prowl are gonna have to stay here Bee. I hate to say it but right now you guys are our only advantage and we can't risk them finding out that there's more than one of you. We're outnumbered enough as it is." Sam sighed before he turned and looked up at Optimus. "You said you owed me one and no matter how much I wish it wasn't now I need you to keep that promise."

"Of course Samuel we'll help in any way we can." Sam nodded his head in thanks before looking back at Will and the others.

"Don't just stand there we've got to move." Sarahs life was at stake and he be damned if he let Kale win this fight. It was on.
