I wake up and see that I'm in Sams house, on the sofa in the living room. "Sweetie you can't stay with that man. We want you to come and live with us" Judy, Sams mother, said with a frown as she walked into the room. A few other people walk in and I recognize Optimus, Ratchet, Sam and Will. "The wounds on your back re-opened and became infected. I've cleaned them and dressed them and they should heal within a few weeks. The same with your arm" the doctor, Ratchet, said with a concerned frown. "I agree with mrs. Witwicky staying at your old house would not be a positive idea." Optimus said with concern. I nod with a small sigh. "Me, Optimus and Ironhide will go with you to gather your belongings" Will said with a smile. "Oh wait Lennox do you have a phone? That will make it easier for her to talk to you" Sam explained with a small smile, most likely excited with the fact that I will be moving in with him. Will takes his phone out and gives it to me, I take the phone carefully and put my number in. I hand the phone back with a small smile. Seconds later I receive a text 'this is William Lennox' I look over at the army man with a smile.

I was sat in the GMC with Ironhide and Lennox. I pulled my phone out and pulled up Lennox's phone number 'what's with the face symbol on the steering wheel?' I text with a curious look on my face. "Why do you want to know?" Will replied. 'My car has one, so does Sams. The thing that Optimus called Barricade also had a face symbol on it but it was different to the others. I also saw the symbol on the front of Optimus's truck, there's one on this trucks wheel as well.' I text back and look out the window. "Your very observant. Will we explain later?" Will asked Ironhide, who replied with a nod. I nod back in thanks.

The rest of the drive to my house was quiet. "Do you want us to go in with you?" Will asked in concern as they park on the opposite side of the road to my house. 'No, if I need help I will text or call you. My parents cars aren't here so they should be at work' I text back with a thankful smile. I quickly open the car door and climb out and Will closes the door behind me. I cautiously walk towards the front door. I go to open the door but it opens before I can even touch it. I back away slightly as it means one of my parents are home. I steeled my emotions and bravely walked into the house. My bravery falters when I see who is in the house, my stepfather. "Where have you been you little bitch? And why did I get a call from your school saying that you ran out of class?" He asked knowing that I won't answer. I quickly sprint up to my room avoiding him at all costs. As soon as I get to my room I lock the door, I know it won't do much but it will buy me enough time to get my things out of here. I hurriedly pack a large duffle bag and a backpack. I throw them out of the window knowing that all the things in there aren't breakable. The banging on the door hasn't stopped since I locked it and I know the door wont hold much longer. I look out the window with panicked eyes then turn back to my bedroom door. Finally the door gave in and my angry stepfather stormed in.

I stand there painfully still as my stepfather storms into my room. I'm backed up as far as I can go there's nowhere to run. "Nowhere to run girly. I wonder if your as fun in bed as your mother" he said with a sly grin. I panic and look at the open window next to me. I hear shouting from outside and I see that all three of them are stood in the back garden. I sprint to the window and jump and catch a branch of the tree that's outside the window. I look back into my room as I pull myself up onto the branch. What I see makes me want to cry in fear. He has one of my guns and is aiming it at me. "Crap" I hear Will say brim below me. If I try to climb down he will get a clearer shot at me. I take a quick second to look at the gun he decided to pick up and chuckle. I quickly climb down the tree and drop the last meter. I quickly pull my phone out 'the idiot needs to learn how to read. The gun he's holding is a gun I used for pranks, it's a water gun' I text Will with a laugh. He reads the text and laughs then tells the others what the text said. They both look at the man with amusement.

I decided to ride back in the semi with Optimus. He asks me a few questions with yes or no answers so that I can answer him with nods or shakes of my head. He's a kind person and I admire him. He was calm earlier that day when Barricade attacked, he was calm when I tried to back away from them. I owe my freedom to them, they helped me do something that I would never have the courage to do without help. My back feels a little bit uncomfortable, most likely from climbing down the tree. I think Optimus noticed as I kept shifting in my seat. He looked at me from the corner of his eyes. "I am going to pull over for a moment, I would like to check your injuries if that is ok?" He asked with concern, I nod in reply then give him a bright smile. I trust him, he barely knows me and he's helping me despite that fact.

After quickly checking my back he told me to lay down on the bed in the back. I decide to pull my earphones out of my pocket so I can listen to music without disturbing Optimus. I curl up in the bed and play a song called hero by skillet. I let the music wash away the pain, it may not last forever but I will work for now. I feel myself slowly drifting off to sleep hearing the relatable music and feeling the rumbling of the engine. I sigh as the darkness consumes me.

When I wake up I feel well rested and I also feel like I'm being carried. I open my eyes to see that my head is buried into the back of Optimus's shirt. Awww he's giving me a piggyback ride. I lift my head and look around as I wrap my my arms around his shoulders as a form of hug. He turns to look at me and I can see amusement in his bright blue eyes. I giggle a little then look around to see that we are in the back alley by the Witwicky house. I sigh and lay my head on Optimus's back. I feel tears welling up in my eyes again, but this time I think it might be ok to cry. I sniff quietly, trying to hold the tears back. I feel Optimus shift and look up to see he's looking back at me and sighs. He gently lowers me to the ground. "Are you ok?" He asks softly. I shake my head and throw my arms round him he tenses for a few seconds but soon relaxes into the embrace and wraps his arms around me, careful of my injuries. I quietly sob into his shirt, all my emotions our through in the form of tears. The relief from being away from my stepfather, the fear of leaving my mother with him, the sorrow that I couldn't get free on my own. By put most importantly the thankfulness of their help and finally being free.

After my little breakdown Optimus walked me to the Witwicky house and follows me in. That's when I realize that Ironhide and Will had brought my bags in. I smile at them with thanks they both give me small smiles in return. I turn to the front door as I hear someone walk up to it. A boy around my age with silver hair and bright blue eyes walked in. "Heya guys" he said with a cheerful grin. The boy turns his gaze to me and I hide behind Optimus, slightly nervous about the new person. Optimus however had other pans and moved to the side so I wasn't hidden, I give him a small glare before tuning back to the boy as he walks over to me. "My names Sideswipe. What's your name gorgeous?" He said while taking my hand and softly pressing his lips to the back of my hand. My eyes widen in surprise and I turn my gaze to the ground, my face heating up. "Her name is Luna, she cannot speak so-" Optimus explained but was cut off by Sideswipe. "It's nice to meet ya Luna" he said then pulled me closer "I'm gonna need some help with a few pranks. You up for it?" He asked with a small smirk. I smirk back and nod. I turn to the others and see their questioning eyes. I laugh at that.

"Ratchet would like to check on your injuries" Optimus said to me with a reassuring smile. "Wait injuries? Who would hurt such a beauty?" Sideswipe said in shock and I feel my face flush again. "She helped us take down Barricade but only received a scratch on her arm. Her stepfather has hurt her back and she was pushed into a table at school." Ironhide said with a slightly angered tone. (Wait if they knew who Barricade was then they've met him before. That means they could be like him. That would be cool) I thought and smiled at Ironhide to try to calm him down. "Do you feel any pain in your back?" Ratchet asked seriously, i shook my head in reply. I pull the back of my top up and he cuts the bandage open. "It's... fully healed..." Ratchet mumbles in shock. "Your clear to do whatever crazy stunts you want just try not to hurt yourself" Ratchet said with a soft smile. I nod at him before putting my top back on properly and jumping up. I take Optimus and Sideswipe's hand and begin running.

The two stumble for balance behind me and I laugh. I look at Sam and point up and he knows where I'm going. I drag the two males until I reach a ladder going up. I quickly scramble up the ladder and wave for the others to follow. When I reach the top I unlatch the trap door and walk out to find myself on the roof. I look out to see the sun beginning to set. "From what I've heard from Prime your a good fighter. Wanna spar?" Sideswipe said with a large grin. I look to Optimus "Ratchet said you were free to do what you wish. Just do not hurt beach other too much" he said with a chuckle. I turn to Sideswipe and nod while keeping my emotions in check. "There isn't a lot of space here let's go to the ground" i nod and pull my phone out. 'Sparring match between me and Sideswipe. We will be outside if anyone wants to watch' I text Sam with a smile. I wave to the others to follow me as I walk to the side of the roof. I jump down onto the window ledge and wave at them to follow. This is going to be fun...
