Sorry for the long wait on updating guys. here is chapter 5 enjoy.

The day was cool and hummed as I listened to my headphones on the wall that just overlooked the outside pool of the base. I had been a week nowthat I had been at the base, and everyone had welcomed me back with open arms apart from a femme called Chromia, Galloway and another man called Simmons who looked like he wanted to cut me open and see how I "tick" if you know what I mean.

I was absorbed in my music and drawing the surroundings that was around the pool that I didn't notice Sunny behind me before he squeezed my sides making me squeal and fall off with him landing onto of me. He smiled and I had to laugh as he pulled me to my feet. It felt nice being back with my best friend but I couldn't explain why my heart beated against my chest to escape. I had thought about asking Arcee about it but she was always busy whenever I went looking for her.

"Hello Sunny," I said. "What are we doing today then?"

"Well your father said that he needs to find you a school to go to so we are slacking and having fun," he replied pulling me towards his alt form.

I smiled and got in as Sides joined us as we raced out the base to our hideout were we went to be away from the others. Sunny putted some music on and I sang along until we made it to our little clearing were a steam was flowing and the air smelt like the British country side but better.

"So what should we do?" I asked them.

"Plan another prank on your dad," Sides said.

I grinned before I sat down next to them as we planned the prank and what we would need to buy.

I was eating some of the pie Sarah had made when an alarm arang over the entire base.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Sir cons are two miles out and closing in fast," a solider shouted as I ran to find dad.

"Karen stay with Sarah," he told me. "This is not safe for you to be out there."

"Dad be careful," I told him before I went to Sarah.

I watched at they all departed and Sarah took my hand before we both sprinted to the jeep.

"I'm guessing we are going to the cabin?" I asked her.

She nodded as I comforted Annie.

"Shush," I told her. "Everything is going to be okay."

She nodded as she hugged me. Sarah was driving across the rocky roads as we left the sound and sights of teh battle raging behind us. I could feel tears prickling at the edge of my eyes but I wiped them away as I tried not to worry about my dad and friends. Sarah said something before I felt pain through my entire body.

"The girl is still breathing master," I heard that annoying voice said.

"Good job Starscream," another cold voice replied. "Make sure that when she wakes that she knows her place or else."

That sounded like a threat as I heard a door close and Starscream mumble an insult before he walked away. I quickly opened my eyes and looked around me. I was strapped to a metal table and I could see a heart monitor as I got my surrondings back to me. The wall to my left was covered in strange tools and one was leaking a blue substance that I remembered as Energon as I stuggled against the straps. I heard a moan and looked towards it and saw sarah and Annie.

"karen what's going on?" Annie asked me.

"I don't know," I told her. "Damn this straps."

I could see a cut on Annie's face as I squeezzed my hand out, ignoring the blood that was now tinkling down from it.

"Your hurt," she said looking at me.

"I fine," I replied. "If a con comes in close your eyes and don't move."

***Ironhides POV****

"Old friend she will be found," Optimus told me as I tried not to kill the twins.

"I couldn't protect my wife from them and now I'm going to lose my DAUGHTER!" I yelled punching the wall.

I could feel all my teams optics on me as I fumed with anger. Sure I had been angry before with the twins and the cons but them hurting my child was enough to send me off the rails. I had fought this war without thinking about if I cared if I died or not until Helen and Karen came into my life. They both showed me in different ways on what it was like to live and to be loved. I sighed before I looked at Prime.

"The moment we find them I want to kill the slagger that took her away from me," I told Optimus.

Optimus nodded at me before turning back to the others and started to give orders.

I will find you, I thought. No one hurts my family and gets away with it.

****Karen POV***

I had been able to release both my hands when I heard footsteps coming down the hall way. My eyes flicked to Annie and Sarah that both took the hint and closed their eyes as I quietly untied my feet before hding benath the berth as I waited.

"Sir the squishy has gone," I heard Starscream say.

"Then find her," another voice replied before leaving along with Starscream.

I quickly ran to Sarah and Annabelle. Sarah looked at my hands before she wrapped her scraf aroudn them before she took my arma dn Annabelle's hand as we ran to the door and tried to find a way out of this base. Turning a corner we heard the sound of gun blasts before the wall to our left expolded and a bot and con appeared beating th slag out of each other, before the celling gave way above us.
