Jasper, 3rd POV
Jack walked down the hall, thankfull that school was finally over for the day.
It had been a month since he'd first begun having the terrible nightmares, and strangely enough, Shadowdusk hadn't spoken much to him. She only spoke when he was experiencing the pains from changing, whispering gentle promises and singing dark lullabies to him. Though Jack despised the lullabies, since it seemed that they fueled his nightmares.
Jack opened his locker, placing his books in it with care, since the last time he'd shoved them in, they'd tumbled out and gave him a nasty bruise. He prayed that he didn't have a run-in with Vince today.
Luck wasn't on his side.
A fist collided into the locker next to him, and Jack sighed, turning as he shut his locker.
"Hey loser, heard you've been skiping class lately. Didn't know you had it in you." Vince taunted.
Jack rolled his eyes, pushing past the other teen.
"Whatever Vince."
As he stepped out the door, Vince followed him, face slightly taken aback. Jack had never spoken back to him so coldly.
"What, you and your loser friends trying to get in with the cool crowd? Didn't know they were that desperate."
Jack stopped walking, eyes becoming a bright, electric blue. He spun around, hand shooting out to grip Vince's collar and the onyx haired teen lifted the bully off the ground.
Vince's hands scrabled at the callused one, trying to free himself as he stared down fearfully at Jack.
The raven haired teen was scarily calm, but the bright, electric blue orbs that were his eyes glinted dangerously.
Everyone stopped, surrounding the two males.
"You're one to talk. Desperate is when someone hurts others to stay ontop of the foodchain. Well, newsflash, Vince, no matter how high you are on the chain in school, that means nothing outside the school. So, I might have to behave in school, but out here, if you inselt my friends, I have no problem with crushing you."
The hand that held Vince tightend it's grip as Jack let Vince's feet touch the ground and pulled the other male so their faces were inches away.
"So you shut the hell up about my friends, because you know no damn thing about them. I'm going to let you walk away today, because teaching you a lesson after your first mistake isn't my style, that's your style. But I swear, if you ever say anything about Miko or Raf like that ever again. I swear I will cut off your balls and sell them to an old man on ebay!"
Jack then released Vince, giving a curt nod to the stunned redhead, he then turned and walked off.
The crowd parted, and there stood Raf and Miko, staring at Jack in shock. The raven haired male offered them a smile before walking off, the two others in tow.
Jack knew he was lucky that all the 'bots were out on recon, but he'd have to make sure that Miko and Raf wouldn't say anything. Though he decided he'd deal with that later.
Even tough his face was calm, Jack felt panic grip his throat tightly. His sanity was starting to contiuosly slip away.
His eyes faded back to a normal shade, dull with the depresing realization.
Jack stopped, turning to his friends.
"Guys...I need you to promise not to tell anyone about that." He pleaded, looking between Miko and Raf, who looked a bit nervous.
After a moment of silence, Jack tried once more.
"Please guys."
Raf hesitantly nodded, as did Miko. Jack smiled, releaved.
"Thank you, guys. Well, let's go! My mom's taking us to base today." Jack said, voice layered with fake cheerfulness.
Later, Jack's POV
I smiled at Raf as he tugged a few blankets into the livingroom.
We'd decided that we should have a sleepover earlier that day. Though I knew that Miko and Raf were actually concerned about earlier and wanted to keep a close eye on me. But who was I to deny them?
Miko was running around, extatic, since she and Raf had never been in my house. She kept looking at pictures on the walls and nearly broke a few lamps while she was at it.
As she ran past, I grabbed her shoulders and made her sit on the couch.
"Miko, please relax. This is a sleepover, not a Stay-awake-all-nightover." I said. She pouted, and I sighed.
"Look, there's a closet next to the stairs in the hallway, it has movies and stuff. Go pick out something for us to watch...and nothing rated higher then pg-13." I said, casting a glance at Raf, who was curling up on the makeshift bed of blankets on the floor.
I smiled, ruffling his hair as I walked past to make some popcorn.
As I started the microwave, a familiar, high-pitched buzz came.
No!
Nonononononono!
I quickly ran upstairs and locked myself in my room.
I ran into the bathroom just in time to empty my stomach. Why did it have to happen again now of all times?
Soon I was dry heaving, and Miko and Raf were calling my name, trying to find me.
I stood, going and rinsing my mouth and cleaning my face. The pain was slowly coming. I turned to the door to my room.
"I'm in here! Just start the movie without me!"
"Dude, you sure?" Miko asked, voice muffled.
I gulped as the pain began to intensify.
"Yeah! I'll be down in a few!" I replied.
Her footsteps faded as she went downstairs, and that's when the pain hit full force.
I doubled over, grabbing my head as pain split it.
"Shh, Moonsoul. It will only be for a moment, the transformation is almost done. All you now need is you armor."
"Wh-what the hell a-are you t-talking about...?" I whispered, grunting in pain as my blood seemed to turn to fire.
"Hush, my little sweet spark. I will explain all soon, when I arrive."
"Arrive?" I said in panic, eyes widening. Shadowdusk chuckled.
"Tomorow is your birthday, Moonsoul. Now what kind of mother would I be to miss it?"
With that, she broke our connection. And though I desperately tried to call her back to my mind, she didn't return.
Hey guys! Sorry that this chap is a bit short...Anyway, please send me some ideas if you have any for this (and/or other) story(s)! I loved writing the part were Jack finally just gives Vince a piece of his mind! I was listening to 'go to sleep b****' by Eminem when I was writing it, lol. Anywho, have an energon cookie ^-^
