Amy had passed out for a moment and was slammed with her worst fear. Her father had her the guys were there, She couldn't escape. They wouldn't stop. Someone. help me!

Amy jerked awake breathing hard not knowing or caring if she screamed out or not. She curled up and shook when the door opened and Optimus and Ratchet ran in.

"Amy?" Ratchet said softly. She shook her head trembling. Optimus walked over and gently cupped her with both servos. She curled up closer to his servos trying to stop trembling. slowly and carefully he picked her up and cradled her to his chest plates. Optimus turned and left the med bay and headed to his room with Amy.

Optimus laid down holding Amy securely to his chest plates and guided her gently to lay down on his chest plates. Using his servos to keep her secure and warm he waited till she fell asleep to get the last few hours of sleep before she needed to get ready for court...

...morning about 7 AM...

Amy had woken but remained still not feeling much. not wanting to do anything. She felt so. Numb. She felt Optimus run a finger down her back but she didn't respond.

"Amy?" His voice was soft and gentle. She traced a finger over his armor in reply. Slowly Optimus sat up holding Amy still. "Its time to get ready." He spoke softly as he stood. He comlinked Arcee who came to his quarters and with a silent agreement Arcee transformed and activated her holo-form. Optimus gently set Amy next to her and Arcee gently guided her into her room where her sister was. Anna's expression was sad. She knew at the time being she could do nothing for her till court was over.

Arcee took Amy into the bathroom and closed the door. She helped Amy get undressed and helped wash her considering she hadn't taken a shower in several weeks. Arcee tried not to cringe at the sight of all the scars. Amy's voice was quiet but the words were there.

"Ruins"
Ruins, ruins, ruins
Ruins, ruins, ruins

[Verse 1]
We were like a glass house, so breakable
Stuck inside a madhouse, trapped in the walls
And all of the voices inside of my mind will never be silent
Until I can find a way to let go of what we left behind
Ruins, ruins, ruins

She was talking about being stuck with her father for all those years. How her father took so much from her and left her in ruins.

[Chorus]
Sometimes love deserves to burn in flames
Sometimes the ending is your best escape
I've got a heart on the edge and it wants to break
And I know that once I walk away
I won't return to the ruins
Ruins, ruins, ruins
I won't return to the ruins
Ruins, ruins, ruins

She's trying to walk away from the ruins but she doesn't know how. Arcee Helped dry her off with a fluffy towel before wrapping it around her and leading her to sit on her bed while Arcee picked out a suitable outfit for the day. Amy had stopped singing but the rest of the song was there floating in the air. Clinging to the silence. Clinging to the way it makes you feel.

[Verse 2]
Beauty in the breakdown, I'm not afraid
The love you never gave me is slipping away
And all of the voices inside of my mind will never be silent
Until I can find a way to let go of what we left behind

Arcee looked through Amy's drawers until she found an outfit. She pulled out nice dark blue jeans, with a dark purple shirt with black flowers on it. She helped Amy get dressed before brushing out her hair. Carefully Arcee braided her hair loosely over her right shoulder.

After getting her shoes on Arcee gently took Amy's hand and led her out of her room. Her holo form disappeared and she transformed. Amy looked at her unsure of what to say or do. Arcee smiled softly and gently picked her up and headed to the main room.

The bots in the room which were Optimus, Ratchet, Ironhide, and Prowl looked over when Arcee walked in. Ratchet walked up and gently took Amy and went into med bay.

"Amy?" His voice was soft as he did a check over. Her eyes were still numb holding nothing. "It's gonna be okay." He told her and gently nuzzled her.

When Ratchet brought her back to the main room the bots had transformed and the holo-forms were standing by their respected vehicle forms. Arcee had left. Ratchet set Amy down near the others.

"Amy, we are here for you. They will not hurt you ever again." Optimus spoke calmly. She looked at him and gave a single nod. Ironhide stepped forward.

"Its time to go." He said. Amy swallowed hard. and climbed into Optimus's truck form and they headed off. The courthouse came into view and Amy's heart started pounding in her chest Optimus parked followed by the others.

"Amy, we will be right by your side," Optimus spoke softly before climbing down and gently pulling her out. Following Prowl the four of them headed inside and to the courtroom. That is when she saw them. The four men who wouldn't stop. The four men who found pleasure in hurting her. Amy froze her breath stopped she couldn't focus. A gentle hand on her back made her look at Ironhide who escorted her to the front where she and her attorney (Prowl) would be sitting Prime and Ironhide right behind them.

[Bridge]
Ashes fall to ashes and the pain will fade away
We both wanted passion it's the price we had to pay
So light the match and let the fire build into a blaze
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ashes fall to ashes and the pain will fade away
We both wanted the passion that's the price we had to pay
So light the match and let the fire build into a blaze
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

"All rise." was heard and everyone rose as the judge walked in and sat in his chair. Amy couldn't focus very well until she heard her name.

"I call Amy to the stand." Amy paled slightly looked at Prowl who nodded so she stood and made her way to the stand and the police officer held a bible in one hand and raised her hand so she followed suit and placed one hand on the bible and raised the other.

"Do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" He asked.

"Yes."

"You may be seated." Amy sat down and looked at the man who defended the men who hurt her.

"Now miss Amy, Prime is it?" He said flipping through some papers.

"Yes," Amy replied she was having a hard time trying not to start trembling.

"It has been claimed that these men abused you. Is this true?" He didn't care what the truth was. Just the money.

"Yes."

"In what ways?"

"Objection, before entering the courtroom both attorneys were filled in so if such acts were proved she would not have to speak of them." Prowl said.

"Sustained." The judge replied.

"Alright, so you claim they hurt you. Why would they do such things?" He asked.

"I don't know."

"How was your family growing up? Before your mom past away." He stated Amy's eyes went wide.

"Bad," Amy replied slowly.

"Explain."

"Mr. Johnson would beat my mom. I don't remember a time he was nice." Amy replied trying not to stutter or cry.

"Oh? Did he beat your mom? Like you claim he did to you? What happen to your mom?" He asked his eyes filled with aggression.

"Mr. Johnson k-killed her," Amy spoke If she had been looking at Optimus, Ironhide or Prowl, She would have seen the shocked looks on there faces.

"Well, this is news!" He exclaimed almost sarcastically. "How did he do it?" Amy paled as he came closer.

"Well? What did he do? Or are you making this up? Did you crave so much attention that you couldn't have that you just had to get it somehow? Did you crave."

"Objection!" Prowl called.

"Sustained. Keep it in check, Mr. William." The judge replied.

"Your witness." Mr. William said turning to Prowl and went to sit down. Prowl stood and walked over to the judge and handed him a folder.

"I'd like to have this put into evidence pictures of the day Amy's sister reported the abuse when the rescue personnel got on the seen also pictures of the day Amy was rescued after being kidnapped and abused. Also scans from her doctor." Prowl told the judge as he started looking them over.

"Now miss Prime. You said you don't remember a time when your father was nice?" Amy nodded. "Did he always hit someone?"

"Yes. After he killed mom he went to me." Amy said. Prowl nodded.

"do you know of anything they did any pictures or anything to prove your story?" Prowl asked his eyes pleading with her.

"A-at least one-time th-they had a camera out. v-videoing." Amy swallowed hard. Prowl nodded and secretly comlinked Agent Fowler.

For Amy, it was hard to keep up with everything. She had been called down and each guy who hurt her called up and asked a ton of questions by both attorneys. then Agent Fowler came in and walked right up to the judge and quietly said a few words.

"Officer Rowl, Amy Prime, Mr. Johnson, please come with me." The judge said leading them and Agent Fowler into a back room. Once in the back room, Agent Fowler put a tape in and a video came up and Amy's eyes widened and she turned from the tv but she could see it in her head. It was the first time all four guys had there way with her. Every slap, every kick, every time she shook.

"That's enough." The judge said. He led the way back into the main room where everyone sat and waited for him to speak.

"I sentence you four men to life in prison for the abuse of a minor with no probation. You are a disgrace to the human race!" The judge declared and slammed his hammer down. The four men fought against the officers as they were taken away. Amy stood there for a second looked at the judge and nodded before bolting out the door. She ran not caring it burned her knee to do so, she ran past people and ran outside she needed to feel safe. She ran towards Ironhide's vehicle form and slid right into it. She grabbed the back door handle and pulled it open and climbed in shutting it behind her before collapsing on Ironhide's back seat. She heard Ironhide climb in and say something but she blocked him out and curled up and listened to the words sung in her head.

"Invincible"

This bloody road remains a mystery.
This sudden darkness fills the air.
What are we waiting for?
Won't anybody help us?
What are we waiting for?
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.

"Isn't that what I just did? Face the enemy?" Amy thought to herself. She heard Ironhide start driving but paid no mind.

It's a do or dies situation - we will be invincible.
This shattered dream you cannot justify.
We're gonna scream until we're satisfied.
What are we running for? We've got the right to be angry.
What are we running for when there's nowhere we can run to anymore?
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
And with the power of conviction, there is no sacrifice.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.

"It felt like a do or die. I want to scream until I am satisfied. Why am I still running though? I want to be innocent again."

Won't anybody help us?
What are we running for when there's nowhere
nowhere we can run to anymore?
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
And with the power of conviction, there is no sacrifice.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.

Amy didn't feel Ironhide pull into the base. She didn't hear him call her name. She did feel someone touch her and she jerked up eyes wide she breathed out when she saw Ironhides holo-form.

"Amy, Ratchet says he needs to give you a checkup." He spoke softly and quietly. She nodded and waited till the holo-form moved before sliding down right into Ratchet's servos. He pulled her closer and headed to the med bay.

After a scan and some meds, Amy started to feel something but it wasn't happiness or anger. Did she feel sad? She hadn't felt this way in a long time. She didn't know what to do about it so she shoved it down.

"Ratchet, can I go to my room?" She asked the medic. He nodded.

"Please take it easy with your knee." He said gently taking her out of med-bay. He set her down and she walked off to her room. When she entered Optimus's room she saw him sitting on his berth looking at the floor. Slowly she walked up to him.

"Optimus?" She asked softly. He looked at her.

"Amy." He breathed out. She could tell he wasn't sure what to do or say but she watched him closely as he moved a servo to cup her back.

"I did not know about your mother." He said softly his optics sad. Looking down she replied.

"No one believed me when it happened they assumed she fell." Optimus's optics flared. "They looked over it. I can still see it in my head."

"No one believed you." It was more of a statement than a question but you could hear the anger and frustration in his voice.

"I'm gonna go to my room," Amy said slowly and carefully. Looking down at her his servo after a moment pulled away allowing her to move away from him and head to her room.

"Amy," Optimus called softly. She turned to look at him. "Anna is staying with Raf for a while." He told her. Nodding she went into her room and closed the door.

For the rest of that day, Amy sat at her desk and kept her mind busy catching up with her track of time until her knee started to hurt a little bit. Growling slightly she stood. She went to her closet and pulled out her workout outfit and got changed before heading to the training room.
