Abducted

Things weren't going well. Not that they hardly ever did in his screwed up life but he supposed that things could get worse. That was something that Kale would do for him in a heartbeat. Sam wasn't stupid and he knew the risks of what was going on far better than anyone else could imagine. He knew that the chances of him and Miles winning this fight were slim to none and he wouldn't ask the Autobots to break their code and kill his cousin and his pack. Even if they hadn't had the code he wouldn't have been able to bring himself to ask them anyways.

The thought of killing something that wouldn't be eaten disgusted him and he knew that Miles felt the same. He'd had a good long talk with Bumblebee the night before and his guardian knew more about him now than he did when they'd left the base that night. Miles had made it home safely as well. Despite being a psychotic bitch Ashley had kept her word and left them alone. He knew that Will and his family were safe at the base with Ironhide and the rest of the Autobots.

Kale wouldn't dare attack them there. It would take more than the pack members he had with him to take down Ironhide, Ratchet, and Optimus. Hell it would take at least four wolves of his age to have a chance at taking down a smaller mech like Bumblebee or Jazz. Thinking of Jazz made him think of Mikaela and of the promise he'd made to Bumblebee the night before. He had today to figure out how he was going to tell her all about what he was and the chance that they might not belong together like he thought they did. He prayed to the Lady that she would understand. It didn't seem to matter which way he went. He was screwed on almost all sides. Something bad was going to happen because there was no way in hell that everything was going to work out for the better on all sides.

This fight between him and Kale would end soon and their would be losses on both sides. As Sam turned to look at the clock sitting on the nightstand he could only hope that they wouldn't be as bad as he thought they'd be.

Then there was Will who wanted him to bite him. He could understand where the solder was coming from. It was scary thought to find out that there was something neither he nor the Autobots were capable of fighting off. Will had wanted it and he had refused. Will had given him the strangest look when he'd mentioned his relationship with his mother. Not that it surprised him all that much. To an outsider looking in their relationship looked like the norm between mother and son. But then the only person who knew the truth was Miles and he wasn't telling anyone.

But back to the whole thing with Lennox. He'd asked to be bitten. He'd wanted the curse so that he could help them fight. The worst thing was that for the briefest moment he'd almost said yes. He had almost agreed to turn Will into a monster. A monster like him and Miles. He'd managed to refuse thankfully and keep his promise to himself about never biting another person unless a life could be saved by it. But still there was that little part of him that was annoyed by his refusal.

Another bite meant another brother and the wolf in him wanted it badly. It was still however something he couldn't do. That was another thing he had to worry about he supposed but it wasn't an immediate worry. He could put it off for awhile.

"SAMMY."

Sam's eyes turned to his bedroom door as his mom's call reached him. He had a feeling that whatever she had to say wasn't good.

Ooo

Mikaela sighed as she washed the oil off of her hands. It felt good for her hands to be clean again. She loved working in the auto repair shop but she hated the feeling of oil on her hands. It made her feel dirty. Eyeing the cars in the parking lot she realized that Jazz was still on patrol and he would probably be for a few more hours.

Which sucked because her shift ended in about five minutes. It could be worse though she supposed. All she needed to do if she needed a ride home was call Sam. But Sam had been acting strange for the past few days. Maybe it was just the thing with his cousin. Sam had said that they didn't get along but they acted like they did in front of his mother so that they wouldn't upset her. From what she'd seen of Kale he seemed like an okay guy but she hadn't really had the chance to spend enough time with him to get to know him. For a second she wondered if she should bother Sam or not.

For half a second she was against it. Then her mind kicked out of car mode and into normal mode. Maybe if she talked to Sam she'd be able to get the reason why he hated Kale so much out into the open. That would probably help a lot. She was about to pull her phone out of her bag when she heard someone call her name.

"Mikaela." Mikaela turned and came almost nose to nose with Ashley. She couldn't help but jump. Ashley giggled. "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

Mikaela took a deep calming breath and offered the blonde a small smile.

"It's okay I just didn't expect you to be so close." Ashley giggled again and watched the brunette in front of her.

"The boys went out on their own today and I thought I'd track you down and we could go shopping or something." Mikaela blinked a little surprised at the girls straight forward offer. She wondered if she should go or not but then again what could it hurt. She could talk to Ashley and try and get a story out of her before she tried Sam. Who knew she might actually end up liking the girl. She'd call Jazz once they got to the mall and let him know where she was.

"Sure. My dad's using my car today so I would have needed a ride anyways and I don't really feel like going home yet." Ashley smiled showing off white teeth and nodded.

"Good. We can get to know each other without our childish boyfriends around." Mikaela couldn't help but smile. Ashley had the childish part right. Yelling at her boss to let him know she was leaving a few minutes early, he didn't care he likes her, she grabbed her purse and walked out of the garage and to a red car that had to of been rented for the day.

"So do you know why Sam and Kale are always at each others throats?" She asked as climbed into the passenger side seat and threw her purse into the back seat with Ashley's. Ashley laughed as she started the car and pulled out of the lot.

"You have no idea how at each others throats they are. I think it's some sort of contest or something between them." Mikaela nodded in understanding. Boys seemed to have a built in need to compete. Though Sam seemed to compete more with video games than anything else.

"I can understand that." Mikaela said as she looked out her window and at the passing scenery. It would only take them about ten minutes to reach the mall from where they had started. They sat in silence for a moment both of them thinking before Ashley asked another question.

"Who gave you that necklace?" Ashley gestured down to the green and black fang hanging around her neck. Mikaela smiled as she ran a finger down the cool stone.

"Sam gave it to me the other day before school started. He found it while he was digging through the stuff in his lockers and though I'd like it." Ashley nodded in understanding. If Kale were the type to offer it to her she'd gladly were the dark blue fang he wore around his neck. The fangs were a symbol of leadership and only the alpha male was gifted with one.

"Kale has one of those but it's a different color. Can I see yours?" Mikaela blinked and looked down at the fang. She chewed her lip for a moment while thinking. It wasn't like Ashley could steel it or anything. "Sure you can see it." Ashley smiled as she watched Mikaela pull the leather cord out from under her hair and over her head.

"Thanks." The blonde said as she took the necklace from Mikaela. Mikaela nodded and it was during that nod that she noticed that they weren't on the main road anymore but they were in the woods a few miles from the lake. The car they were in was slowing down as Ashley pulled to the side of the road. Mikaela was about to ask the other girl about what was going on but the blond cut her off. Her friendly smile had turned into a mean sneer.

"No really thank you. For handing over the only thing other than Sam and Miles that was keeping you safe."

"What are you talking about?" Mikaela asked because this had to be some sort of sick prank that they were pulling. She had to stay calm. She'd faces worse than this and come out of it alive.

"I think that it's time you learn the truth about your boyfriend and his friend."

Ashley said this in an almost pity filled voice. It was like whatever she had to tell her would make some huge difference in her life. Little did she know that it would but chances were it wouldn't be a change for the better but for the worse.

Ooo

Miles hummed a bit as he walked towards the Rec room in the Autobots base. Despite the hell his world was turning into he was in quite a good mood. Sure things were bad but with any luck all this bad shit going on would be over soon. He didn't want to dwell on what might happen over the next few days. He didn't want to think about the possibility that either him or Sam could die. Or that both of them could die. He just couldn't think about that kind of stuff now.

On a better note Prowl now knew what was going on and he hadn't crashed. Which was good because he didn't really want to piss off Ratchet. That dude was scary on the best of days. But he'd gladly take on Ratchet if it meant that he didn't have to hang around a pissed Sam. Smile widening a bit as he entered the large Rec room Miles couldn't help but notice that Hector wasn't in the room.

"Please tell me you didn't terrorize the poor kid." Every being in the room turned to look at him.

"We did no such thing." Ratchet said sounding offended. Miles raised an eyebrow and looked around the room one more time.

"Then where is he?" It was Optimus who answered.

"Sleeping I believe. He was on the phone with his sister almost all night." Miles let out a small 'oh' and nodded in understanding. That sounded about right.

"Hey Miles." Miles turned at the sound of Lennox's voice and waved at the man. Lennox looked like he hadn't gotten a lot of sleep either.

"What's up?" Miles asked as he plopped down on a stool beside the bar that ran in front of a small kitchen area.

"Can I ask you a question?" Miles smiled.

"You already did but I'll let you ask me another one." Lennox shot Miles a flat look before asking his question. "What does Sam have against biting people?" Miles blinked as he looked at the man. It only took a moment for understanding to bloom in the teens brain.

"Why the fuck did you ask him to bite you?" Lennox blinked taken aback. Sarah and Ironhide had asked him the same question the night before when had had asked Hector about why sam had refused to bite him.

"I figured that if he bit me I could help you guys. I know that you don't expect the Autobots to help you fight if it comes down to it but you guys are still outnumbered." Miles snorted and then smiled at the older man.

"Do something for me." Lennox nodded." Think about the most painful thing that's ever happened to you." Lennox was quiet for a moment clearly thinking about past pains. Miles eyes shifted over to the silent Autobots. He knew that they were listening in. getting answers to questions that they wanted answered as well. Miles was pretty sure that they still had their own questions to ask but it was very likely that they'd let Lennox and his wife, if she came in while they were talking about this sort of thing, ask theirs first.

"Okay now what?" Lennox asked as he looked at Miles.

"Now take that experience and multiply it by about a zillion." Miles could tell that Lennox had gotten what he'd wanted the man to get when he winced.

"The first change hurts so much that every other injury you'll ever get will feel like a poked finger in comparison."

"Surly what you gain after that first change outweighs the fact that the first change hurts so much." Ironhide said as he took a step closer to the pair. Miles smiled and nodded a bit. He understood where Ironhide was coming from but there was still a lot of stuff that they didn't understand.

"It's a lot more than pain Hide. Sam doesn't like doing it for another reason. The first time we turn we're more or less monsters. During that first change you'd kill the person you loved most if they happened to wander across your path."

"Elaborate Miles." Blue eyes shifted toward the Autobots medic before Miles twisted in his seat just enough so the he had a better glimpse of the rooms occupants.

"Gladly. Let me tell you guys a story. The story about when Sam bit me and how that bite changed my life."

Ooo

I was actually going to make this chapter longer but I had an idea for about how I wanted to do Miles story and it wouldn't have really fit this chapter. Well that and I didn't want to take the chance of confusing you guys. I'll update as soon as I can. My moms been taking me to the library and I'm going to try and go at lest once a week. So I'm attempting to have an update for either this story or Dog Collar every other week. That way I have about two weeks to work on each chapter.
