Truths Told

If it weren't for bad luck he wouldn't have any Sam concluded as he laid on his bed. Of all the things he had expected to do that day what was coming up in about half an hour sure as hell wasn't one of them. He hoped that Miles and the others weren't mad because he hadn't been able to get out of the house and go see them and answer more questions of course.

But as per usual his luck had gone south. He was having dinner with Kale well more like Kale was having dinner with him and his family. But still what the hell was the world coming too when you had to sit down and eat with the guy that wanted you and your friends dead? He had a feeling that this dinner wasn't going to be a good thing. It'd be like Optimus and Megatron doing something together. It just wasn't going to work. And to make matters worse he was under threat of his mother to behave himself.

She acted like he was going to start a fight when Kale was the one who started fights not him. He didn't know what he was going to do. He was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. Groaning as he pushed himself up Sam made his way towards his bedroom door and the stairs that were just down the hall. Maybe he was just overreacting because it was Kale. Kale had no problem making his life a living hell but surely he wouldn't do something that would upset his mom.

Then again maybe he would. Whether or not something was going to happen tonight that much Sam knew. He'd just have to be careful and if Kale started going in any direction near the truth about what they were he'd just have to try and steer the conversation in a different direction.

Chances were that he'd end up sounding very rude but if it meant keeping up the normal act for his mom then it was more than worth it. His situation really sucked and it wasn't going to get any better anytime soon. Well with some luck it would get better soon all he had to do was get rid of Kale and then things would be back to normal. Well as normal as they ever got in his far from normal life.

Ooo

The soft sound of crickets filled the air outside of the Witwicky household. The melody they played was soft and sweet and would remind many of the days they had spent hunting the tiny insects when they were young. The sudden silence that fell upon the whole neighborhood was so sudden one would have sworn that the world had been put on mute. Nothing dared to make a sound as Kale walked down the sidewalk leading toward his aunts house. Not even the wind dared to blow.

It was as if the world was holding its breath in anticipation for what was to come and if Kale had his way what came would be nothing good. He wanted his cousin to suffer for what he was doing and how he had betrayed his pack. His true pack not the two man team that was made of Sam and his friend. His cousin had hidden for far to long and it was time for his father to learn the truth about what his son was.

It was time for Sam to stop hiding and it was time for him to purge one more of the impure from the world. If he had his way only those who were pure would live and all who hide and cowered from what they truly were would vanish. The pure pack had no room for those who were ashamed of what they were and out of all the people he knew his cousin was the worst when it came to hiding the truth about what he was. Not only did he hide the truth from his father but he also lied for his mother so that she could have the normal life she wanted. She knew of course.

She knew what her son was and had known since her father had called her that faithful night of Sam's first change and requested that Sam live with them. She had refused and forced her son to cower at the truth about what he was and cower at the power that he had been given. When he had his way his cousin would die and then he'd kill all of the others that he had been after.

There would be no one left when he was finished. Then when he was done with his cousin and the others he'd go after that little traitor Hector. And tonight was only the beginning of the purge. Those who were pure would rule. He'd make sure of that no matter what he did.

Ooo

The air in the dinning room was both tense and relaxed. Food was eaten and general conversation passed around the table with ease but underneath the idol chit chat rested an unseen threat. Sam sat tense in his chair as his eyes darted between the food he was eating and the other occupants of the table. Things were going well so far. Everything had been fairly normal.

Kale had been his usual self, well the usual that his mother knew and was acting as if the whole thing between them wasn't even happening. Maybe he was just overreacting, Bumblebee had sent him a text saying that everything was clear and that Kale hadn't brought any extra guests. Maybe Kale was going to be a good boy after all. He could only hope that that was the situation.

"You know Kale I can never get Sam to sit down and talk football with me. He's stubborn as Hell when it comes down to it." Sam forced a laugh past his lips and shook his head.

"Ya, well if the star player of our football team didn't see it fit to throw me around like his own personal football every other day maybe I'd be more inclined to watch the games so we could talk about them." Both Sam's parents let out quiet laughs at his reply while Kale seemed to think it fit to give him an odd look, said odd look even had one eyebrow raised. He looked amused by the fact that someone was actually throwing Sam around.

"You'd think that no one would be able to get to you Sam. I mean who on earth could actually challenge you and come out the victor?" Sam blinked and looked at Kale trying to figure out if he was hinting at forbidden territory or not.

Eyes flicking from Kale to his mom he knew that he was heading towards no man's land by the look on his mother's face. It was a look that seemed to scream 'Shut him up,' at him. His father amused chuckle caused him to turn away and refocus his attention. Ron looked very amused by the thought of Sam winning a fight. Apparently he felt the need to say so.

"Kale as much as it saddens me to say this I highly doubt that Sam could win a fight against a wet paper bag."

"Hey!" Sam shouted in annoyance. Despite the current situation he couldn't help but feel slightly hurt by his fathers words. Both Kale and his father started to laugh at Sam's disgruntled shout.

"You know now that you mention it Uncle Ron I suppose your right. Sam's not very strong at least not from what I've seen the past few days."

Ron blinked in confusion for a moment before turning to look at his son. "What's he talking about Sammy? Have you two been fighting?"

Sam's whole body tensed for half a second. "No, dad everything's fine." Sam lied, as he gave Kale a flat look.

"Are you boys ready for dessert?" Judy asked her voice just a note higher than usual. It sounded like she was worried about something and trying to deny it. A chorus of agreeing words met the woman's ears and she offered the boys a smile as she stood from her chair and made her way to the kitchen.

Sam's eyes followed his mother as she made her way behind the chair his dad was sitting in. No one else saw the slightly pleading look that she sent Sam a moment before she was out of the room. Sam let out a small sigh and prayed that his mothers use of dessert as a distraction had worked. By the look in Kales eyes it obviously hadn't.

"Actually Uncl…"

"What did mom make for dessert dad?" Sam asked cutting Kale's sentence off before the other brunette could get any farther.

"She made pie I think." Ron answered ignoring the fact that Sam had just interrupted Kale. "What were you saying Kale?"

"I was saying that neither him nor his stupid friend have been able to do anything other than force us back from our plans." Kale smiled as he looked at Sam. He was just about to drop a bomb on his cousin's life.

"What plans?" Ron asked as he looked at his son and then at his nephew. He hadn't noticed the tense looks that the two were trading before now. Kale chuckled a bit before answering.

"Has my aunt ever told you the truth about why she never goes to see her family?"

Ron blinked. The fact that Judy didn't seem to really like her family all that much had bother him a lot before but he had been smart and kept his nose out of it. He'd only met her side when they'd been married and then when Sam had been born her parents had come to see him. Other than that he never saw them. As far as he could remember they just didn't get along very well, there were to many differences in the lifestyles they lived.

"That Kale is something I have no desire to stick my nose in."

Kale chucked at his uncle's answer. "Kale just leave it man you know mom doesn't like it when people bring that up." Sam's voice had been quiet but firm when he'd spoken. He knew that in a matter of moments things would change. For better or worse.

"I'm afraid I can't do that Sam. He has a right to know what he's gotten himself into."

"He isn't into anything." Sam growled as he prepare to stand. Both of them were ignoring the face that Ron was still in the room and that Judy would be back with dessert at any moment.

"He married her and they spawned you. He has every right to know that his only child's a beast." Sam opened his mouth with a reply waiting at the tip of his tongue but his father cut him off before he could even utter the first syllable.

"What are you talking about Kale?" Ron's voice was sharp and he was eyeing the spiky haired teen as if he was loosing his mind. Kale only smiled.

"Why didn't Sam tell you? Well I suppose not seeing how Aunt Judy hates them so much." Kale's voice was calm and controlled and despite Sam trying to interrupt him he spoke in unbroken sentences. He refused to let Sam stop him from telling the truth.

"Though your wife doesn't carry the curse your so does. Most of your wives family aren't human. Far from it in fact. We are one of the most powerful creatures on Earth. We're werewolves." Sam's whole body went stiff at his cousin's words. He waited with bated breath for his fathers reply and he was only half aware of his mother's return to the dinning room.

His fathers reaction wasn't what he had expected and for the he was extremely grateful. Ron's loud laughter filled the room with sound as the older man shook his head back and forth in amusement. He banged a fist on the table a few rimes before he managed to speak again.

"You really had me gong there Kale. Werewolves. What next vampires and the Loch Ness Monster?" Ron shook his head and chuckled a bit at his own joke. Sadly no one else in the room had found it funny. Sam shared a slightly relieved look with his mom while Kale looked like he was going to bust a blood vessel.

Kale growled low in his throat. Things weren't going as he had planned. Truthfully he hadn't expected his uncle to believe him but turning the whole thing into a joke was something he wouldn't let the man do. Kale smirked as he reached into his pocket for the small box that was hidden there. Even though his first plan had failed this one wouldn't. He could tell by Sam's actions that he didn't know about his girlfriends current situation. No, all he was trying to do was keep him from telling his uncle the truth about what he truly was. He supposed that it really didn't matter if his uncle believed him or not. In the end he'd get what he wanted anyways. Kale grinned as he looked at Sam.

"Oh by the way Sam I have something for you." Kale said as he placed a small box on the table in front of his cousin. Sam looked at the box with wary eyes. He wasn't sure if he wanted to open it or not. His father hadn't believed Kale and that was something good but something in his gut told him that whatever was in the box sitting in front of him wasn't a good thing.

"Go ahead and open it Sam." Judy said as she sat a plate down in front of him. Sam blinked and looked at his mom. She looked shaken but was hiding it well. The only thing that gave her away was the way her hands were shaking. He knew that Kale could see her shaking too and if his dad didn't have his face stuffed into his pie then he'd be able to see it as well.

Nodding at his mom Sam reached out a tense hand to take the box. The outside felt velvety and was cool to the touch. The box that Kale had placed on the table was a large ring box. There was no doubt in Sam's mind that there wasn't a ring inside. The lid opened without a sound and Sam found he could only stare at what lay inside.

Sam felt as if his heart had stopped beating in his chest. The world as he knew it could have ended at that very moment and he wouldn't have noticed. Laying in the ox was the necklace he had given Mikaela the day before in order to keep Kale from getting to her. It was the only thing short of imprinting that could keep her safe and he was holding it in his hands. Brown eyes snapped forward as shock quickly dissolved into the beginnings of anger.

"What did you do Kale?" Sam's voice was deadly quiet as he stared down the alpha across from him. He could feel the beginnings of a familiar fire running through his veins. Kale only smirked before answering.

"You know that was a clever idea giving that to your girl but while neither I or one of my pack mates could have taken it from her the rules change when she herself takes it off." Sam growled low in his throat. The noise caused both of his parents to look at him.

"Sammy." His mothers voice was a warning while his fathers sounded worried. Sam found that at the moment he couldn't bring himself to care about keeping his promise to his mom. Kale had just crossed a line and there was no turning back.

"Where's Mikaela, Kale?"

"With my pack. I assure you that she's fine now and quite happy. Well, maybe not happy but I guess it doesn't really matter." Sam's chair hit the floor with a loud clatter as he stood. His eyes were fixed on his cousin as if he was trying to force them to read his mind.

"What the hell are you taking about? What did you do?" Sam asked. It was strange how the things around him seemed to have faded. All he could bring himself to focus on was his cousin. Sam was only dimly aware of his father moving around the table to his side and taking a firm but light grip on his shoulders. Other than the fact that she was now standing instead of sitting his mom hadn't moved at all. His dad was saying something but he couldn't hear what past the ringing in his ears and the sound of blood pumping through his system.

His nails were cutting bloody half moons into his palms. He had hoped that it would help keep the rising rage in check but it wasn't working. With every passing moment that o so familiar fire was growing stronger and he was sure that he was growling in a way that was far from human. Despite all that was happening in his body and the ringing in his ears he still heard Kale's next words with absolute clarity.

"Did you know that it's possible to force someone to imprint. I didn't until a few hours ago. I don't think I've ever seen Eddie so happy."

Whatever control that Sam had had left snapped and before he knew what was really happening he had pushed his dad away and had lunged across the table at his cousin. He didn't hear his parents shout or his cousin's laugh but he did feel a sharp pain in his leg before the entire world in front of him shifted and changed. Fang filled jaws snapped and a low rumbling growl filled the air. Kale laughed as he threw the weapon he had used to defend himself away. He ignored the screams of his aunt and uncle as he answered his cousins challenge.

Ooo

Neither one of them knew what to do. It was probably for the best because it was not knowing that was keeping them out of the middle of the fight between the two wolves in their dining room.

"Ron. Ron we have to move. We have to get out of here." Judy's voice shook just as much as her hands as she tugged on her husbands shirt. Ron blinked and nodded his head in agreement as he watched the fight. He didn't know what to think and that was probably a good thing for the moment. He could feel his wife's tugging but shock kept him rooted where se stood.

It was only when one of the wolves landed not five inches in front of him that he was able to force himself to move out of the room with Judy tugging him towards that garage and the vehicle that sat waiting for them with both doors open.

Ooo

Bumblebee sat waiting. For what he wasn't quite sure yet but he'd know when it happened. He knew that things in the house with Sam were tense and probably wouldn't stay very peaceful for much longer. He hated the fact that Kale was sitting in his human family's like he belonged there. While he himself wouldn't hurt the boy he wished for nothing for Kale but pain and misery for the rest of his life.

He hated that human for what he was doing to Sam. He hated how he had forced the truth out of his human when he was quite sure that given time Sam would have told him the truth about what he was. He understood why Sam hadn't told them and he'd only been slightly annoyed when he had found out. Sam had as much right to keep secrets from him as he did from Sam.

He hated what Kale was turning Sam into. The difference in the way Sam had acted when Kale had arrived and when the truth about them had been told had changed drastically. The Sam sitting in the house eating dinner with someone that wanted him dead was far to mature to be his Sam. This Sam worried him and yet he also excited him. This Sam was stronger than the one he thought he knew and he was willing to fight back and to protect those near to him. Perhaps this was the Sam that would take charge in the future.

But then there was the look that Sam had had the night before when they had been going home. The lost look when they had spoken about Mikaela had worried him. That look was the reason why he had agreed to let Sam have the day to figure out how he was going to tell her the truth.

Every thought running through the yellow and black scout's processor came to an abrupt halt as the sound of snarling reached his audio's. Pure panic ran through his systems at the sound but before he could actually panic a memory ran through his processor. Earlier that day before Kale had arrived Sam had made him promise that if things got out of hand with Kale that he'd take care of his parents for him.

Though the thought of leaving Sam alone with Kale scared him he had agreed. Sam would fare much better if he didn't have to worry about his parents. So as the sound of footsteps grew nearer Bumblebee opened both doors in preparation for what was about to come. He was about to leave one of his best friends alone to fight an enemy that wanted him dead no matter what it took.

Ooo

Sam's ears perked as he picked up the sound of an engine accelerating before the loud screech of tires made it to him. Bumblebee had kept his promise and for that he was thankful. Before Kale had come he'd made both Bumblebee and his mom make a promise to him. He'd asked his mom to run if anything were to happen. She'd agreed when he had told her that Kale had been acting a little strange.

She had known that should a fight break out then she was to take Ron out to Bumblebee and he'd take them to the base. He'd made Bumblebee promise to take them. It had taken some time but the mech had agreed in the end. He had hoped he was wrong but now he knew he hadn't been. The worst case scenario had happened and he was the one who had changed first. He was the one that had broken his father's illusion and his mother's faith. He had spent years hiding the truth from his father because she had wanted him to.

He hadn't wanted to at first but he'd also wanted his mom to stop looking at him like he was a monster. She had started looking at him like that after his birthday and even though he often told himself that she wasn't looking at him like that he knew she was. The happy act that they put on for the sake of his father was all an act.

An act that had kept the family together and he knew that before long the life he had known, come to accept, and in a way loved would be over. He knew his father wouldn't stay once he found out the whole truth and it wouldn't be the werewolf thing that made him leave. It would be the lies. He would leave because his wife and son had been lying to him for years. He wasn't quite sure what his mom would do and truthfully he didn't want to know. All he knew was that it wouldn't be good.

But for now he couldn't focus on what was going to happen in the near future because he had to focus on black furred beast in front of him. Kale was going to pay for what he had done to Mikaela and if he had his way it would be with his life.

Pure rage ran through his systems. It was the same rage that had caused him to bite Miles. Some far off part of Sam's mind knew that what he was doing wasn't right but that small part lost out to the fire that was running through him. Right now he had one thing and one thing only to focus on. And it was standing in front of him with it's fangs bared in a challenge. It was one he didn't hesitate to answer.

Snarls filled the air as Sam and Kale snapped and tore at each other. Nothing could stand in the way of the fight. Not even the furniture in the dining room was still standing. Table and chairs had been torn apart when Sam had first lunged at Kale. Now they fought in the ruined room.

The only thing that was keeping them from moving on to another room was the fact that they couldn't both fit through the door at the same time. Kale snarled as he dank his teeth into the skin behind Sam's ear. The dark brown wolf let out a loud yelp before slamming his attacker into the wall closest to him.

Kale lat go as all the air was forced from his lungs. Winded he was forced to stop and try to regain his breath. It was a chance that Sam had been waiting for. Putting all of his weight into his next move Sam slammed into Kale knocking him off of his paws and causing him to fall.

The only thing that kept the black wolf from hitting the floor was Sam slamming into his underside and sending him through the large window that showed off the flower filled backyard. No words were exchanged between the two fighting. Neither seemed to care for this was a fight to the death. One that wouldn't end until something interfered or one of them died.

Ooo

Miles stood frozen where he stood. Something was wrong. He could feel it like an itch that wouldn't go away. Turning towards the other occupants in the room he was about to shout a warning but he was already to late. He could tell by the way the Autobots were standing that they were talking through the com links.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Lennox was the first to get the question out. His voice sounded worried. It was almost as if he had felt the same thing Miles had. It didn't help that hector skidded into the room seconds later looking panicked. When the answer to Will's questions finally came through no one like what they heard.

"Bumblebee's bringing Sam's parents to the base. Something went wrong."

It was however the second piece of information that shocked and worried them the most.

"Optimus, Jazz just reported in. He can't find Mikaela."

The room was silent for a matter of seconds before someone managed to speak.

"Sam's goanna kill him."

Oooooo

I wonder if Ron has good inshurence? Anyways I'm not quite sure how I want this story to end yet. I have three or four different idea's floating around in my head at the moment and can't seem to settle on one. I hope I did okay with the attempt at small talk earlier. I don't think I've ever had to do a small talk scene for Sam and his parents before but this was good practice I suppose. I'll update in a week or two so long as my mood stick with me. I still have no idea how many chapters are left. I think I said three or four a few chapters ago but now I'm not so sure.
