Rosalie's POV
"Ugh," I raise my head that is pulsing with an annoying pain. I pull my hand up from beside me and grab the side of it, where I feel pieces of sediment.

"What the?" I look around my body to see that I'm lying on my stomach on the ground. Wasn't I in Bee's alt mode? Suddenly loud noises off to my right have me looking up to see Bee holding off another robot. I could see a word on what I assume is a car door?

Where are we exactly? Doing a quick one-eighty, I could see the city lights were behind us and the forest was just about four hundred meters away. I need to help Bee.

I scan my surroundings for something, but when I turned left to look, a strange designed bot came into my view. He was twitching like it was ready for me to move or move itself.

"Rose...run! Run!" I snap my neck to bumblebee and I can see that he is holding off what I'm assuming is a Decepticon.

"But-"

"Run!" I push myself to my feet and go where I know I'll have a chance of surviving.

The woods.

Once my back was turned, I could hear the clashing of metal upon metal. When I feel like I'm a good distance away from the brawl, I wrack my brain of the direction of base, but it's too far. I can't go back to the town or I could endanger others.

"Ah!" I hiss when my shoulder hits the ground and something cold and thin is holding me down. I shift my head up to see the person that attacked me.

"Barricade will be pleased."

Barricade? Who the hell is that?

"Who?" The little thing hisses and transforms its little finger into a blade and holds it up to my face. I don't dare take my eyes off the blade, I can feel my blood just slow down upon it shimmering under the moonlight.

I need to get away from freaky here and get back to Bee, but how? Using a free hand I randomly search for something within reach. Upon feeling a thin cylindrical object with some bumps and smooth, I swing as hard as I can towards me.

Freaky screeches as he's knocked off me, allowing myself to get to my feet. I don't even think, I just run in a random direction.

"Bee?" I wheeze getting as far away from the evil contraption I struck with a makeshift bat.

"Bee!" I shout in hopes he'd come out of the blue and take me back to base.

"Be-" I stop mid call as I realize that freaky and the other bot could be listening and tracking me. I smack myself in the forehead cursing.

"I'm such an idiot." My eyes widen when I hear freaky talking quickly with weird noises. I glance around for a good hiding spot but nothing will do. At least it's not daytime, but it is making it harder for me to navigate.

The bushes behind me rustle as crazy leaps out tackling me again. He starts talking but this time in a different language. Wait a minute. I know this language because I've heard Optimus and Ironhide use it. It's Cybertronian!

"Get off me freaky!" He's squeezing my arm as he pushes my face to the ground. Geez someone got offended. His claws scratching up the skin that's showing, I'm using any strength I have to push him off, but nothing seems to be working.

With my face pressed to the soil, I could feel the ground tremble. Is it Bee? Oh please let it be Bee. I close my eyes and pray to God that it was Bee coming. My chest began to tingle again as my necklace began to give off a soft glow.

Last time it did this, I was around the Autobots and Dinobots. The tremors grew as the being came closer to our position. The trees just off to my right were pushed away from the being to come through. I could hear the wood creaking from how far they stretched to create a possible path.

The next thing I knew, crazy was thrown off my back as I was slightly moved from the ground from the motion. When I moved back to my spot on my stomach, I lifted my head and and was met with something touching my cheek. I was greeted with a soft purr.

Getting to my knees, I open my eyes and smile upon seeing a friendly face.

"Slash! It's good to see you boy." My heart thrums in relief. Angry gibberish has me facing crazy to see him pointing at us and talking profusely.

Slash growls and hisses. I place my hand on the side of his face and I could feel him relax slightly.

"Frenzy! We're leaving!" I hear a masculine voice shout and I see the black and white bot rush in and scoop up the minibot. I hear someone else coming and Bee comes to my other side that Slash isn't occupying. The bot with the red eyes points to me and says,

"This isn't over. She will be ours." His words are like a record player on repeat, etching into my brain.

She will be ours...
****************
We got back to base and Bee was informing Will, Epps, and other Autobots of the situation as Ratchet wanted to do a full check up on me. Slash hasn't left my side, which I'm thankful. I've grown close to him and Strafe, but the one dinobot that has been by my side is Scorn.

If I'm not with Bee, then I'm with Scorn. Just thinking about the two brings a smile to my face. However, my brain just can't seem to shake off that bot with those murderous beady eyes. Just thinking about him makes my heart pump a little faster.

What does he want with me?

"Are you alright, Rose?" I guess I didn't hear him until I see a gray blur moving in front of me. This causes me to blink my eyes and move my head up.

"Huh?" I see slight concern on Ratchet's face but he says his question again.

"I asked if you are alright."

"Uh, yeah, I'm...fine. Sorry just kind of out of it." He doesn't say anything first but nods his head.

"Well good thing is that your injuries weren't anything serious. Just a few cuts and scratches that you can clean."

"Thank you, Ratchet," he nods and turns to Slash.

"Good job, boy. Now just get some rest." He helps me down off the berth or table and I wave to him as I leave for my room. Slash follows and I let him in as I quickly shower. My mind playing that scene over and over.

A soft whirl caused me to gasp and turn to my right. There stood Slash with sad eyes. The first thing I did was quietly shout at him to get out. I reached out for a towel, but couldn't find one and I groan with annoyance.

A yip has me open my eyes to see Slash holding a soft pink towel in his teeth. I could see he had his eyes closed and laughed at the Dino. I took the towel, wrapped it around myself and patted the Dino praising him.

"Thank you Slash," I pull the curtain open and exit the shower. Walking over to the mirror, I wipe the steam away to peer at my reflection. I look at myself and cringe seeing my bare skin that was once smooth, littered with red lines and scrapes.

I hear a soft whine bringing my attention back to the dinobot currently in my bathroom. His eyes are blear. I frown when he lowers his head causing my heart to break. I pad over to the mech and place my hand on the side of his face.

"I'm alright Slash, I'm safe." I smile showing him the truth. "All thanks to you." I kiss his snout receiving a purr in gratitude. After reassuring the lad, I went into my room to change into something comfortable. A pair of sweats and a t-shirt.

I plug my phone in and lay down with Slash beside the bed. I play soft music for background noise that helps me sleep. Soon, I feel my eyelids closing, just listening to the music.
*********
"You can't hide from me forever." I hear the familiar raspy pitch. I sit up in my bed looking around my dark room. Where are you freaky?

"What do you want from me?" The mechanical laughter has my blood run cold.

"You will be ours." Another gruff voice joins in. Ours? Where are they hiding? There was something I noticed. Slash was missing.

"Slash?" My voice waivers upon being alone with two Decepticons.

"No one can save you."

"You're ours."

"I'm not you're anything! Where the hell are you freaky!"

"It's Frenzy!" I hear the enraged minicon shout before my phone transformed and all I see is his little hands coming at me and those red eyes..
I cry jumping out of my skin sitting straight up, grasping the blanket tightly. My chest heaving as I find it difficult to breathe. I can feel the sweat dripping down my face, my heart racing. My eyes dance around the room inspecting the shadows for anything out of the ordinary; only to land on my phone where I hold my breath.

I hesitantly reach out to check the time.

11:26 p.m.

I sigh and shut the music off. I've only been asleep for an hour. The slightest movement from my right on the floor caused me panic. Upon seeing the cyan eyes, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh Slash, it's just you." I just sat there rubbing his head as my thoughts wonder. I can't stay in here, that nightmare felt too real. I got out of bed and made my way towards the door with Slash at my heels.

With the halls bare of any life, it causes me to shiver to think of that horrible dream. Aren't there suppose to be people on the night watch? Hearing the dinobot's feet clink behind me, I can't help but smile. Trying to be quiet but for something so large it's hard to be silent.

Shortly, I get where I wanted to be, the dinobot's quarters. They are huddled up in their own area, except Grimlock is in the very middle of the room. As soon as Slash and I took a step in, Grimlock raises his head. So much for being silent.

"Hey big guy, mind if I crash here for the night?" By now the others have woken up and stood beside their leader. Scorn came forward and greeted me like always. I yawn feeling the adrenaline wear off and stretch my arms.

Scorn turns around in his spot to get comfy and lays down. Next thing I know, the back of my shirt is lifted and I'm placed between Scorn's legs by his chassis. The warmth radiating from his chest is very welcoming.

I lean back against his forearm and close my eyes as I got comfy. I knew coming here would help. The room is lit up and full of giant protective cybertronian beings.

I hear movement all around us get louder and then everything is quiet. I peek an eye open and see that the others are huddled around scorn and I. This brings a smile to my face as for that moment, I felt content.

My chest tingled as I no longer felt scared, but one emotion that allowed me a peaceful sleep. I felt safe.

Will's POV
"Hey man, have you heard anything from Clem or Haejax yet?" Epps asks before eating his pancakes. I shake my head.

"No. It's been over a week and nothing. After training I'll try contacting them again." We continue to eat until I see Mason walk in by himself. I call the boy over as Epps goes and gets something for him.

"Morning bud." I ruffle his hair in greeting. "Is your sister up?"

"I don't know. I think she's still sleeping." He shrugs but smiles upon seeing food. That's strange, Rose is usually up early and it's almost nine. I'm gonna check in with her and see how she's doing today.
**********
"Clem, you're late with your check ins. Call ASAP." I sigh hanging up the call. Heavy footsteps come towards me and I look up to see Optimus.

"Optimus," I greet putting my cell away.

"Lennox, we need to speak." I was all ears but I have a feeling it was something urgent. I follow the big guy to a separate hanger where a handful of others were waiting: Ironhide, Ratchet, and Bee.

"Have you heard from Clementine and Jax?" I shake my head and Ironhide scoffs.

"This is why you don't send younglings on a mission by themselves."

"Cut them some slack Ironhide. Clementine keeps Haejax in line." Ratchet defends the duo but is wanting to get to the objective at hand. He voices his thoughts,

"Besides, we have more important matters to discuss. What do the Decepticons want with the girl?"

I pull out my iPad and bring up the footage of Barricade circling the diner where Rose worked. "He even went into the building. Then he attacks her on her way back to the base? Something's missing."

"This makes...three strikes...I'm worried." I take note of the number of occurrences.

"Could they be after Mason?" The room falls silent and Optimus breaks it.

"No, Jazz has been informing me. There's no Decepticon sighting where the boy goes to school." Ironhide scoffs as he buts in,

"What's so special about her?" I sigh shaking my head. She isn't safe no matter where she goes.

"Easy Hide, we don't know much about her." I inform looking to the weapons specialist.

"I wouldn't say that. I have noticed when Rose first got here she was able to calm down Scorn. None of the other humans here has been able to go near him. Scorn will listen to Grimlock to an extent, but it's like she's his life line." Ratchet points out. Bumblebee nods snapping his fingers together.

"I agree with you doc...I've seen how he interacts with her..Clem says...its like a man and his best friend...relationship..he wants to protect her wherever she goes."

"I noticed a similar action with Slash. After you brought her back last night, he wouldn't leave her side. I dropped one of my tools by accident and he got defensive. I've never seen anything like it." Ratchet pulls out one of his data pads and starts typing.

Could this be what the Decepticons are after? Her special connection with the dinobot's? It doesn't seem likely. We're all standing around trying to think until Epps comes running in.

"Dude! You have to come see this!" We turn to see his look of surprise.

"What? What's gotten into you?"

"It's Rose-" before he could say another word the bots were ready to advance. Ironhide scoops me up as Ratchet does with Epps as he tells us to go to the dinobot's quarters. Upon reaching the room we see the Dinobots surrounding Rose who's currently sleeping next to Scorn.

Bumblebee took a step into the room, this must have woke Grimlock because he lifts his head and lets out a low growl. I lift my gaze to Optimus who meets mine. This confirms everything we just discussed. What is so special about Rosalie Moore?
