I can't sleep. I feel horribly guilty for keeping my canine secret. How is it even possible to be a werewolf and a Cybertronian at the same time?? If anyone knows, please tell me!

Everyone else is dead to the world, maybe I'll just take a walk for a few minutes. I slowly get up and tiptoe away from everyone else. Lucas snores like a bear in hibernation! Did you know that?

Once I passed the big rock formation which blocked everyone's view of me, I started walking. The moon made the sand somewhat reflective, kinda sparkly too. I think about what Lockdown said to me. And to think, I'd never thought I'd EVER see that bastard in person.

But I swear I've seen him in my past, but from where? I can't remember clearly. Aw man, he's soon gonna find out I'm Optimus Prime's daughter. Fuuuuuudddddgggggeeeeeee!!!!! That's gonna be a REALLY bad outcome.

I hear a twig snap, I stop and look around. I see nothing, but I smell a hare. I feel fur sprouting from my skin, NOOOO!!! NOT NOW!!! I go down onto all fours. I now have paws for feet, but I still have hands. Only my hands hold black fur and 2 inch long claws. I'm actually a black wolf, which I'm totally alright with because black wolves are beautiful.

The guy who tried to kill me with his werewolf army had all black wolves, so yeah. I take another sniff around, the hare is close by. I press myself against the ground, trying to keep quiet.

I pounce, the hare sprouted out of a hole in the ground, but I landed on it. I felt its rapid heartbeat, its fear. I can't kill it, even though I'm a little hungry.

I've never killed an animal in my life, and I never will. I stick to only human food. I shift back to my normal human form, I slowly pet the hare to calm it down. I've always been great with animals.

It's fear was diminishing, calmness was blossoming. I let the hare up, but it didn't run. I sat up, then the hare snuggled up against me. I pet it some more, it crawled onto my lap.

I was so into petting the wild hare that I didn't notice my father coming up right behind me.

"Sarah? How did you do that?" I heard his voice. I literally jumped a foot in the air. I slowly faced Optimus.

"Do what?" I ask nervously, still holding the hare.

"I saw you turn into an animal, is there something you're not telling me?" He asked.

He saw. He saw me shift. I have no choice but to tell him, since he already caught me in the act. I sigh in sadness.

"Dad I..." I feel a tear forming, "I have been hiding something. From you, my friends, Mom too. I've never trusted anyone with it, not even my own mother. But I trust you, so can you promise me not to freak out when I tell you?" I ask.

"I promise." My father nodded.

           *    *    *    *    *

"So that's why I can shift into a werewolf, that mission is where my friend  Rick was killed and I was infected." I flinch at the last part.

"Sarah, that 'werewolf' form is your new alt mode." Optimus said.

"Wait, really? I'm not infected?" I light up with joy. He nods, I'm so happy again! I'm not a real werewolf, it's my alt mode! SWEET!! There goes my maturity and here comes my fangirl.

I told Dad my entire life story. The abuse when showing 'weakness', my mother sometimes defending me from my stepfather. But the funny thing was, they would actually kinda care about me when I didn't show 'weakness'.

Dad was actually angry other than freaked out. But instead of yelling, he just sighed.

"I don't know what has happened to your mother since I left, but she wasn't like that before. She cared very much for you when you were born. Wait, isn't your friend Rick back with the others?" Dad asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"And he was killed?" He asked again.

"Don't ask me how he's alive, not even he knows." I explained.

"Another mystery in this world." Optimus looked up at the sky. We were quiet for several minutes, I break the silence.

"Did you ever see Lockdown when you were still with my mother?" I ask out of nowhere. He looked down at me, surprised.

"No. Why do you ask?" Optimus turns to me.

"Because I swear I've seen him before, I don't exactly remember when or where. But it had to have been after you left, because I know you weren't there." I say.

"That's strange. I left by the time you were 3, so you couldn't really remember who I was. I wish I could have stayed, but it was endangering you and your mother." He said sadly.

"Like how Lockdown is soon gonna find out who I am and that I'm your kid?" Optimus' face went blank after I said that. Like an 'Aw crap' expression.

"Don't worry, I can handle myself and my friends against him. I have before, twice. And it was pretty fun too." I gave a smile.

"And I'm very impressed and proud of you. I'm surprised all this time you took after me." He gave a small smile too.

Savoy walked into my office at 9:30 at night. I look him over. He has a deep wound on his arm, and I know who gave it to him.

It was that vigilante, which we now know is a teenage girl. I've never seen skills like hers, and I've been in the CIA for years.

"What is it Savoy?" I ask bitterly.

"That one girl who gave me this cut, she doesn't even exist." He spoke.

"How is that possible?" I ask in confusion.

"Not sure. Even though her and the four other girls aren't from here, we have four out of five of them on records." Savoy continued.

"So what are the four girl's names?" I hope to know. He took out their files.

"Mckenzie Wright, Anna Zimmerman, Courtney Mann and Lauren Smith. They attend a high school somewhere in Maryland, I can only assume the other girl does too." Savoy put the files on my desk.

"Something isn't normal about the one that doesn't exist, yet does. It's like she's a ghost," I said to myself, "Alert the authorities of these newcomers, that way we can find them and either send them home or..." I gave Savoy a slight notion to my communicator to a certain asset of mine.

"Right away." Savoy walked out.

              *    *    *    *

I bolted upwards from my sleep. It's morning and everyone's awake. What was that? I just saw Savoy and Attinger talking, about us! Me in particular! How did the hell did they have my friends biographies?! And how can I not exist??

Oh yeah, remember the hare from last night? He's my new pet now, don't ask me why he stuck around. I'm surprised he didn't run off, terrified. I called him Pete, Pete jumped into my lap when I sat up.

"You okay Sarah?" Anna asked me.

"No, I just saw Attinger and Savoy talking, about us! They even had your biographies!" I said panicked. I don't know what I just saw.

"They did?!" Mckenzie almost shouted.

"Yes! Only you guys looked fifteen in the pictures. He didn't have mine though, Savoy said I didn't exist." I calmed down.

"Well, your father is the one and only Optimus Prime. Humans don't keep biographies of us, especially if we have a sparkling with humans." Ratchet said.

"I'm really curious as to how that works, but at the same time I really don't want to know." I stood up, holding Pete. Lauren and Courtney were pacing back and forth after I told about their biographies being in Attinger's hands.

"How do they know about us?! We're not from this dimension!" Courtney was panicking.

"It's been five years since the Chicago incident, the death of Megatron and Sentinel Prime. So we must be a few years in the past." I said.

"What year are you girls and boy from?" Lucas asked me.

"The year 2016." I said.

"It's 2014 now." Shane said.

"We're 2 years in the past then. So in our time, Lockdown's been dead for two years. But noooo, he's alive! And probably gonna try to kill us!" Rick said frustrated. The Autobots were silent.

"What do you mean Lockdown has been dead for two years?" My father asked.

"Oh man, it was the best part of this whole movie! You had a cool blue and red sword and Lockdown was about to kill Cade with his battle knife, then you thrust your blade straight through his spark and split his head in half!" Rick went on.

I can't believe he just told my father that. But at least he knows what to expect in the end, I just hope everybody keeps their mouth shut.

"Wait, did you just say this Lockdown guy was about to kill me?" Cade asked.

"What? No..." Rick trailed off. Nice one, dummy. I punch his arm.

"OWWW!! Easy, Sarah Prime!" Rick said while wincing. Sarah Prime. That doesn't really sound right, but it's my name. I can deal with it.

"We should get moving. Since now there's 10 of you, all Autobots will have to take at least one of you if not a few." Dad said.

"I agree. Mckenzie, you pick first." I say. I already know who she's gonna pick.

"I would like to go with Drift." She said calmly. I was expecting her fangirl to show.

"As you wish." Drift transformed into his alt mode, I'm not sure what kind of car he is.

"You're next, Anna." I said.

"Bumblebee!" She blurted. Bumblebee came over to her and knelt down.

"Get in, little girl." Bee said as he turned into a Camaro.

"Lauren." I say.

"Crosshairs, please." Lauren spoke politely. Crosshairs nodded as he transformed and let her in.

"I choose Hound." Courtney tried to hide her excitement.

"Finally, a girl with taste." Hound said. Courtney almost squealed when he opened his door for her.

"Rick?" I give him the sly brow.

"I'm sticking with Doc Bot." He joked to Ratchet.

"Don't call me that." He grumbled. Rick went over to him.

"We're sticking with Optimus." Lucas said.

"He's my dad, you know. I can go with him too." I argued.

"Lucas, how about you go with her boyfriend?" Tessa said to him. Rick and I both jumped.

"Boyfriend?!" We said in sync.

"Rick and I are just friends." I said.

"Mm hm." Rick agreed.

"Fine, I'll go with them." Lucas muttered.

Cade, Tessa, Shane and I got into my fathers cab. I sat in the drivers seat, I wonder if I can change into another alt mode that's not a car...
