Hey, y'all! I am so sorry for how long, but I had a couple personal issues that didn't give me time to write and, when I did have some time, I had a complete block on this chapter. Glad you guys are enjoying this and thank you so much for putting up with my erratic posting. Shout-out to SilverMoon2015 and Andromeda Dewitt Bukater for favoriting and/or following my story! To Junior VB and anyone who has similar questions: Edward knows a lot, but he mainly get glimpses from Katherine's mind because she didn't really think about the Autobots much when she met them and she especially tries not to think about them when he's near because she doesn't want him to know about them since she's sworn to secrecy. On with the story!

If fairies exist, I'm out.
Right before I could walk up the stairs to the house, Jacob grabbed my arm and whispered, "Don't stare at Emily, okay? Just don't stare."
I nodded with a slightly confused face, "Got it. I won't."
We entered the house and I followed him into the house and I couldn't help to be a little stunned by how huge the six guys were that were standing there. I saw one girl and I knew she wasn't Emily because there was nothing to really stare at, "Boys, muffins are ready." Then I saw her as she walked in from what I assumed was the kitchen and I saw the scars on her face.
When she glanced at me, I gave a polite smile and a nod before waving shyly, "Hi, Jake said you wanted to see me?"
The oldest man stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice, almost as deep as Optimus, "Jacob told me that you figured out our secret. You must never tell anyone."
I rolled my eyes a little and folded my arms as I fixed a hard look on my face, "Seriously? I get dragged out of the house for this? Are you for real right now? Listen and listen well, I don't care what you threaten me with, even if it's death. I won't tell anyone this unless it is absolutely necessary for me to do, which has to be an extreme situation. I have faced death before and I want you to know that, if you ever make a move to harm me in any way, you will have to deal with bigger threats than you and they aren't vampires. Do we have an understanding, Samuel," the man nodded and I relaxed with a smile, "Good, now, I'm Katherine Lennox, but you can all call me Kat." I could see many of them were stunned by the way I spoke to the alpha, but I didn't really care because I knew that the Autobots would protect me from these guys if they even threatened me.
After a few quiet and tense minutes, we all were relaxed and talking to get to know each other better. I was perfectly fine until Paul put his arm around me and kept flirting with me. I continuously told him I had a boyfriend and tried to politely avoid him until he kissed me on the lips. Shocked, it took me a second to pull back and I grabbed a butter knife from the table and stabbed it through his hand in a fury while leaping to my feet, "You ******* *******! How dare you do that when I told you I have a boyfriend and make it clear that I. Am. Not. Interested! **** off, douche!"
I stormed out of the house and called Chromia on my phone, "Kat, what's wrong?"
I growled, "Track me and come get me. Hurry please." We hung up and I continued walking through the dark with my phone as a light to make sure I didn't fall flat on my face.
I'm sure I would have smoke blowing out of my ears because I was so angry. Actually, angry isn't the right word. I was in a fury over what he had the nerve to do. Someone grabbed me and turned me around, "Kat! Will you stop for one minute?"
I glared at Jacob as I pulled my arm out of his grasp as I hissed, "What could you possibly have to say to me after you didn't try and help me?"
He sighed and ran a hand along his short hair, "I'm sorry. We have this thing called imprinting and it's when everyone ceases to exist in the world, except for this one person. For some reason you have made all of us feel something similar to that and Paul thought he had actually imprinted on you. But we talked about it and found out we all felt something like an imprint to you and we're going to talk to the elders and see what that was all about. I'm sorry and Paul wants you to know he's sorry as well cause he didn't mean anything."
I continued to glare as Chromia pulled up with her holoform on and I quickly climbed on, "Tell me what the elders say and don't contact me until then." I shoved my helmet on and she quickly drove off before her holoform disappeared when Jake couldn't see us anymore. I wasted no time in moving to hold the handles and I had her drive to the Cullens, "If I go to Uncle Charlie's house, then I'm going to blow up at him and reveal something I shouldn't." We didn't talk anymore because she knew I wasn't in a huge talking mood. We pulled up to the large house and I knocked on the door before giving a tight smile to Emmett, "Hey, is it cool if I hang here for a while?"
He nodded and I could tell he was confused at my sudden appearance, but he let me in and we walked into the living room. Jasper and Edward physically flinched at the rage pouring off me and at the dark thoughts of punishment running through my thoughts.
The rest of their family looked at us three in confusion before Edward snarled, "He did what?! And after you explained about Sam?" I nodded as I plopped on the couch with my arms folded and a glare fixed on my face as Edward quickly explained to everyone else, "The mutts wanted her to come over and she threatened them after they threatened her before Paul had the audacity to flirt and touch her while she explained she had a boyfriend. Then he kissed her on the lips."
Rosalie and Esme looked ready to kill, which is highly unusual for the mother vampire. Emmett's face darkened while Jasper's face grew cold and Alice and Carlisle both looked shocked. I physically felt the huge wave of calm that Jasper threw to everyone and, now that I was actually calm, pleaded, "Don't tell Bella. She'll flip and I don't want her to ruin her friendship with the wolves because of me. Besides, they're going to talk to the elders and see what is going on since they all felt similar things to an imprint without actually imprinting," they all gave me slightly confused looks and I shrugged, "I have no clue. Ask Jake." After that lovely conversation, we turned back to the TV and watched whatever they had been watching before I came. I'm not sure what it was, but it wasn't long before my phone started vibrating.
I saw it was Bella telling me to get back, so I stood up and said goodbye before speeding back to Uncle Charlie's house. I got there and saw all the lights were off, except for the light in my cousin's room, so I quietly slipped in and made my way up to my room. I changed into my Air Force sweatpants and tank-top before plugging my headphones into my keyboard and practicing for a little bit because I needed to get ready for the performance Edward and I had to do for class.
I crashed eventually on top of my keyboard and I woke up with a groan when my alarm went off. Blearily, I glanced at my clock as I painfully shoved myself to my feet and stumbled my way to the bathroom because I was too tired to try and attempt to run. I got dressed in black pants and a yellow tank before putting a black cropped shirt on that made a comment about me being sarcastic.
For the first time in a long time, I let my hair hang and situated a black beret on top of my head before putting a gold and black bracelet on that had music notes on it. I had just barely tied on yellow Converse when Bella tripped her way out of the bathroom and she came downstairs to find me sitting on the counter and drinking Mountain Dew. She didn't comment on it for once and started eating a bowl of cereal, "Why were you out so late last night?"
I shrugged and took a long sip before I decided to answer, "Jake made me meet the pack, Sam threatened me, I threatened them, we all talked, and then I went over to Eddie boy's house to hang out for a little bit." My cousin may be a little naive and unobservant some times, but she isn't stupid and she knew me really well, so she knew that I was hiding something.
She opened her mouth to question me, but shut it when I gave her a look. I lightly tied my hair before climbing on my motorcycle and riding to school, where I redid my hair. Seeing as I was early, I pulled my phone out and messaged Sam for a little bit. The school day was pretty boring and I found myself doodling in my notebooks all day.
Gym wasn't much better because I was distracted by the wolves from last night and I took a basketball to the face, which gave me a bloody nose before I fell backwards and tore the stitches. I bit my lip to keep any tears at bay as I plugged my nose and Bella ended up passing out beside me at the sight and smell of blood, but not before she heard the comment someone made, "Going to cry to your mommy, Lennox? Oh, wait, you don't have a mommy."
I didn't bother responding to the barb because I was holding my nose with one hand while the other hand held the back of my head. Mike Newton carried my cousin while I walked by myself because nobody volunteered to help me. The nurse didn't fuss much about Bella, much to Newton's unhappiness, and she quickly wrapped my head up to stop the bleeding while I continued to plug my nose.
It wasn't long before Edward showed up and he somehow had gotten permission to take Bella and I to the hospital, where Carlisle would be stitching me back up and checking on Bella since she hit her head a little hard. I shot a text message to Chromia to tell her what was happening and that Jasper and Alice would "bring" her back to my uncle's house. After about a hour, Bella woke up and us three went back to her place and crashed on the couch to relax and watch movies.
THIRD P.O.V.
Back at the N.E.S.T. base, Will and Epps were chatting with Ironhide and Optimus before the weapons specialist froze and groaned, "What's wrong, Hide?"
The Bot shook his head at his charge's question, "It seems your daughter is headed to the hospital for stitches. Chromia says she had an accident in gym class. Her nose was bleeding and the stitches were ripped on the back of her head and that was bleeding heavily. Dr. Cullen stitched it back up and she's back at the Swan residence with Bella. She seems to be okay."
The father had whitened and tensed at the word hospital before sagging into a chair behind him as he hid his face in his hands, "She's going to be the death of me," he looked back up at his best human friend, "Did I do the right thing by sending her there?"
Epps patted the man's shoulder and gave a sympathetic smile, "She'll be fine. You know she couldn't stay here. It was too dangerous."
The two Bots stared at the men in slight hurt at the thought they would harm the young girl and it was Optimus who spoke first, "We wouldn't harm Katherine, she wasn't in any danger from us."
Will nodded and tried to give a reassuring smile, "I know, big guy. It isn't you guys. This is a human threat and started when I was in Qatar before we got involved with you guys. Trust me, as much as she's gotten hurt up there, she would be dead or missing if she was here."
