Chpt. 2

-The next morning-

I woke at five am to get a quick shower, eat then get ready for another long day. I winced lightly as my wounds were still healing like any other morning. I wrapped my scarred back in bandages as I put on my clothes then limped my way out of the house after putting a brace under my boots to help the limp. I watched a yellow with black racing stripped cameo pass by me then stop and back up, the passenger side window rolled down and I could see Raff the kid who I helped yesterday was the driver, "Knightheart?" I nodded He smiled unlocking the door, "Get in, I'll bring you to the school." I looked to him with light question but seeing knowing my current state I knew it was best for me to accept and I slowly bent down to sit in the car. Raff looked to me, "So, thanks for yesterday…" I nodded trying not to move so much, Raff replied, "Do you speak English?" I sighed shaking my head, and replied in a deep harsh voice which sounded like a robotic female but deeper, "No…." He looked to me amazed and I could hear and loud beep and whirl also. I tilted my head lightly understanding the confused response and replied in my own clicks and whirls as an 'I understand very well.' The car almost stopped dead in its tracks and Raff almost fell off his stack of books, "Whhaattt?You understand him?" I nodded, and continued, 'Your special Rafael, you can understand his clicks and whirls and you are a talented hacker.' Raff blushed lightly, "Thanks…" Bee whirled, 'so how do you?' I replied, 'I can't speak English my native language is Japanese, so learning how to click and whirl was simple to me.' We got to the school and Bumblebee whom I realized was the car itself opened his doors and whirled a 'good day you two and thank you KH.' I got out and waved lightly, 'Not a problem.' Raff smiled and waved, "So KH, what classes do you have?" I felt someone else coming and moved me and him to the side just as a girl with black and pink hair appeared, "Hey Raff! Oh? Who are you?" She looked up to me, Raff replied, "This is KH she is in my first class with Mr. Davenson. KH this is-"Miko cut him off, "Heeyyyy~ you must be KH then~ I've heard about you in our lunch I can tell why most people find you scary, geeze how tall are you?" She walked around me. I looked to Raff who shrugged, "Sorry Miko she doesn't speak English she speaks Japanese." Miko stopped and raised a brow, "Really you do?" I nodded. Miko raised her hand for a high five and I looked to her hand with a confused frown. Raff sighed, "Miko, can you leave your questions for later." Jack replied getting off a motorcycle who I can tell was much like Bumblebee the energy aura anyway. Miko sighed, "But Jack!" Raff smiled, "Thanks Jack." He nodded, and then looked to me, "Wow, you must be KH; I can tell why the popular kids would have a problem with you. Mainly Vince." I shrugged walking inside; I opened the door for the three and nodded to the vehicles that sat in front of the school besides Bee. After they got inside we said our goodbyes, Miko smiled, "Bye KH~ See ya later~" she ran up a pair of stairs. Jack turned down a hall, "Bye see you two later." Raf waved, "Bye guys." I waved lightly then looked down the hall seeing other kids moving I hate crowed spaces so I coughed lightly and the other kids paused and made a path for me, and I had Raf walk in front of me so they wouldn't close the opening. We got to our first class and I took my seat in the back and watched as Raf took his seat next to me. The class went by slowly as we got a large packet of papers talking about the class and other junk that I paid no attention to, when the bell rang I looked to Raf, and he smiled to me, "So who do you have now?" I clicked softly as I got my stuff, 'Chemistry.' He nodded, "Cool, well anyway I have to get to the other side of the school to get to math, talk to you later." He waved as he went down the hall, I sighed softly taking my time to go down a pair of stairs and turned into my next class.

*2:30 pm.* I put away my gym clothes and grabbed my bag slowly limping my way out of the school. I saw Raf and smiled lightly as he waved over to me, "Hey KH, do you need a ride." I frowned lightly looking down the road where she'd normally go down then back to him, and clicked softly, 'I don't think it is a good idea…' Jack walked over, "How do you get to school normally?" Miko jumped up, "Come on KH I got some questions I want to ask!" I sighed and clicked, 'I walk…" Raf raised a brow with surprise, "Wait you walk to school?" Jack and Miko looked amazed, "What?" KH frowned looking down; Raf sensed something was off seeing my hat tilting downward, "Alright you guys I think we should stop asking her… I really want to drive you home to make sure you get home." I nodded and followed him over to Bee who opened his doors. I trotted over and got into his passenger side he whirled, 'How was school?' I shrugged, 'School.' Raf nodded, "I agree it was another normal day at school nothing really different." Bee replied, 'Alright KH can you please show us where you home is?' I nodded pulling up a map on his GPS map and typed in my address.

*A half an hour later* Bee pulled infront of the house and opened his door, I nodded, 'Thanks, Raf here is my number call me whenever you need to talk.' Raf smiled, "Alright, but since you are on our way to the school do you want us to pick you up so you don't have to walk?" I looked to the house then back to him with a sigh seeing his smile, 'Fine…' He smiled, "Great. See you around 6:30 tomorrow!" I waved as him and Bee drove off down the road I turned back to the house and sighed, 'Another day…'

As I walked in I saw Deb sitting on the couch staring out the window holding a bottle of whiskey, "KH who was that? Didn't I tell you that you have to walk to school every day?" She stood with a hard grip on the bottle and took a swig; I waited for her to come towards me. I looked down with a nod. She looked to me, "Now did you follow my orders?" I looked down to her, with a shake of a head. She grabbed my chin and made me bend down to her level, "I'm going to make you wish you were never sent to live with me. By the time I am done you will not be able to even lift one of your pretty fingers." She finished the bottle and looked to me, "Sit in the chair." I nodded sitting down in the chair she then came back with the usual rope and whips. I closed my eyes and waited for her to state the usual punishment….. I don't know when I fell into a large blanket of darkness, but when I woke I found my self urged to run I felt nothing as my body ran across the desert in a hurry. After some time I tripped over my feet and landed hard on the ground as my body skidded against the ground. I was knocked out by the force of the impact as my head bashed against the ground.

*Autobot base* Ratchet looked to the monitors as Optimus, Bulkhead, Acree and Bumblebee were battling the Decepticons, and Miko, Jack and Raf were doing their homework at the other small station. He noticed a large spike in energy near by in the city and zoomed on it's location as it was 20 miles away from the base. Raf and the others heard the beeping and looked, "Ratchet what's wrong?" Ratchet raised a brow, "I'm not sure… This energy signal is something I have never seen before." He watched as the signal lowered dramatically and started moving. Ratchet looked confused, "What?" They all watched as the energy signal stopped and almost dropped off the radar. Optimus commed the base, "Ratchet open the space bridge!" Ratchet quickly set their coordinates and opened the bridge. Optimus, Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee ran through and entered the base with eagerness. Ratchet looked to Optimus, "Sir, I have picked up a strange energy signal 20 kilks away." Optimus nodded, "Be quick and do not hesitate to com for assistance." Ratchet nodded transforming into his vehicle mode and zoomed out the base. Ratchet followed the coordinates and saw what looks like a human laying face down in what looks a pool of black liquid. He transformed and scanned her seeing her in critical condition and was actually still bleeding he hurriedly comed base, "Optimus! Open the space bridge immediately!" Optimus nodded and opened the bridge Ratchet carefully picked the girl up seeing as she poured blood as she was raised and as he quickly looked back from what looks like where she came from he could see a large stream of blood as it seemed like she skidded and past that he could see footprints. He shook his head before running in the portal. Optimus and the others watched as Ratchet ran past them with something in his servos going to the Med Bay. Raf saw the white hair as he ran by and looked extremely confused, "KH?!" He ran down the stairs and after Ratchet. Ratchet laid the girl's broken body on the table and looked to Raf, "Raf stand back! And somebot get me some towels!" Raf saw the white hair and knew who it was, "KH!"
