Me and My Gaurdian

Meeting new friends

I rub my temple, trying to get the thought out of my head. Callie, my best friend, who I trusted since i moved to that little town, probably wanted me dead. Flashes of memories of her and I, the way she always helped me out of trouble even if it meant her getting in trouble herself, her sparkling green eyes, her cheeky smile.
I had been so deep in my thoughts that i hadn't noticed that we had made it back to teh little garage we call a home. The door slid up just enough for  Whiplash to get under, then closed behind him, leaving the only light through the broken windows from the second level of the building. Everthing was silent, nothing but Whiplash's engine and Thornly's soft snores could be heard.
The radio chirped to life, A soft hum coming from the stereo. "Are you okay Rachel?" Whiplash asked softly. I shrug, staring out the front window. "I don't really know, I can't think straight..." I mumble, pulling my legs up to my chest and cradling them close to my chest.
The radio hummed again, the steering wheel turning. Whiplash turned around, heading back out the garage door. "Where are we going Whip?" I ask, shifting in the seat as the seat belt wraps snugly across my lap.  He chuckled, but stayed silent as we got onto the main road. "C'mon Whip, Where are we going?" I ask again.
He groaned. "Alright, alright. We're going back to the Autobot base. I thought if you had some company, what happened would be forgotten." He seemed happy with his answer, so i smiled and nodded, even though the terrible memories still burned into my mind. I reached back into the back seat and softly shook Thornly awake, smiling as she shoved my hand away.
"C'mon Thornly, I thought you would be excited to see Bumblebee!" I say, looking in the rear view mirror as she shoots up, excitement practically vibrating off of her. "We're gonna go see the Autobots?! Woohoo!!!" She screamed, jumping up and down in the seat. Whiplash and i started to laugh as she started doing a little dance in the backseat. "Ooh, ooh! maybe Sari and I can have a sleep over too!" She chirps happily, clapping her hands.
I shrug. "Well, we'll have to see, won't we?" I ask with a small chuckle, putting my feet down and sitting forward. The large building came into view, but so did two other large figures. Whiplash slowed down, pulling up behind the pole of the large overpass. We slowly stepped out, whiplash transforming and peeking out from behind the pole. We stepped beside his foot, looking out as well. "Do you know them Whiplash?" Thornly asked softly. Whiplash shook his head.
"No, but they're part of the Elite guard." He whispered. "Elite guard? What's an 'Elite Gaurd'? I ask softly. "The Elite Guard is basically the Autobot military force, but only certain 'bots get in. These two must be junior officers or some higher class." He said. I squint my eyes to get a closer look. 
They were both the same height, both of them had their arms crossed over their chests. The one on the right was sky blue with small pieces of gold on his head, hands, and feet. I couldn't see his eyes because a visor covered them from my view. He had two fins on his arms, and what looked like two pouches on either side of his hips, with a red symbol on the left side of him.
The one on the left was orange and white. He looked just like the blue one, except his eyes were orange. He had a pair of Aviator on top of his head, along with an Aviator hat. I look back up to Whiplash, who was still checking them out. "Why can't you just go right past them?" Thornly beat me to the question. He looked at us like we were crazy.
"Are you insane! I still look like a decepticon, they'd shoot me down the first chance they get!" He exclaimed, the two 'bots looking over at us and then at each other. The blue one pointed over towards us, and we all ducked away. Whiplash quickly transformed and revved his engine, telling us to get in. We hopped in quickly, buckling ourselves in seconds. 
Whiplash took off, the two 'bots looked over to us and transformed into a pair of jets, flying high above us. "Look brother! There being Decepti-creep!" The orange one cheered, veering down to fly right above us. Flames came out of the nose cone, scorching  the road in front of us and melting the cement.
We all screamed as Whiplash spun out, spinning to avoid the boiling hot asphalt. He slid to a halt, opening the doors so fast it was a wonder they didn't simply fly off. "Get out now! I'll draw them away so they don't find you!" He yelped as we rushed out, Thornly gripping my hips in fear. "Th-they aren't gonna hurt you, are they?" Thornly asked, a bit of horror in her voice. Whiplash's engine rumbled, and he jerked forward. "All I'm worried about is if they try to hurt you, now go hide!" He ordered.
The wind picked up rapidly and both Thornly and I looked up. The blue jet was racing towards us. We made a quick run for it, hiding in a large bush just to the side of us. Whiplash drove away, leading the blue jet away from us.
Thornly whimpered into my hip. In a comforting attempt i stroked her hair out of her face, still keeping a close eyes on the blue jet. Wait... wasn't there two jets?...
Out of no-where a large, white hand reached into the bush and pulled us up, drawing us up to a pair of golden eyes. "Are you being Alright?" He asked. My grip tightened on Thornly as I stared at the 'bot in horror. He noticed the look I was giving him. "Not to be worrying, I am not here to be hurting you, brother and I only want to protect you from evil Decepticon. I am being Jetfire, and my brother, the Jet over there, is being Jetstorm."  'Jetire' said. 
I looked down at Thornly, who looked as if she was about to faint.  "I think you have something of mine fly 'bot." I heard Whiplash's voice. Jetfire yelped as Whiplash tripped his legs, making the orange bot drop us. We screamed as we flew through the air, being caught by a familiar black and red hand. Whiplash smiled down at us, making a break for it to the Autobots base. He yanked the door up, rushing inside.
Whiplash skidded to a halt in the middle of the living room, all the 'bots eyes were on us in a second. There were three extra 'bots in the room. One was pure white with a blue and red stripes down his front with the same symbol as the other four bots. He had a visor and what looked like headphones on his head.
The second one was a deep blue with two shield like things on his shoulders and a broad chin. He was broad chested, with the same symbol. The third bot was the tallest. He was a mix of deep blue and light blue. He had the two prong things on the side of his head like optimus, and he held a large hammer. They all stared at Whiplash with a questioning look.
Whiplash grunted and flew forward, cupping his hands so we wouldn't fly out. He landed with a groan, the two jets pinning him down. 'Wait! Let him  go! He's an Autobot now!" Optimus tried to ration. A loud bang shook the ground, making Whiplash vibrate. He rolled over, rolling the jets off of him. He sat up on his knees, still holding us in tightly closed hands.
"Is this true? Did you go against the Decepticons, knowing the cost of it, to join the Autobots?" The Biggest bot's voice was deep as he looked down on Whiplash. "U-uhm, Y-yes s-sir..." Whip stuttered. The large bot nodded. "Very well, what is your name cadet?" He bellowed again. 
"Whiplash.. sir." 
"Well, whiplash. Welcome to The Autobots. You will be stationed with Optimus Prime's team. I am Ultra magnus. This is the cybertronian Elite Guard head cheif, sentinel prime. And one of the most loyal members of the Elite guard, Jazz." Sentinel gave whiplash a glare, crossing his arms over his chest and pouting. "Ultra Magnus, if I may intervene. He is a Decepticon! What if he's a spy, sir?" Sentinel complained.
Ultra Magnus looked from Whiplash to the Prime, then back to Whiplash. It is my decision, Sentinel, and I say that he speaks truthfully. He even risked his own spark to protect these two humans." Ultra magnus pointed to Whiplash's closed hands, in which he opened. Thornly and I gasped for air. Thornly looked around incredulously at the 'bots, smiling brightly as her eyes set on Jazz. 
"Woah! You look so cool!" She chirped happily, leaning over Whiplash's thumb. Jazz smiled widely, rubbing the back of his neck. "Aww, thanks Lil' Lady." His voice sounded like he was a professional singer. Thornly jumped off Whiplash's hand, making Whip huff. She strode past Sentinel, making the large 'bot squeal and jump back, holding a glowing blue lance towards her.
A soft growl left my lips as he went to poke her, but all she did was giggle as he poked her side. The rising frown grew into a smile as i chuckle softly. Suddenly Jetfire had picked her up, gently turning her from side to side. He poked her in the side once. A small laugh. He smiled widely. He did it again, this time just putting his finger on her stomach and moving it up and down.
She burst out laughing. "Look Brother! Listen to this odd noise it be making!" Jetfire exclaimed happily. Suddenly a pair of blue hands scoops me up, much to the displeasure of Whiplash, and the tell-tale annoyance of Sentinel. 
Jetstorm brought me up close to his face, and large smile forming across it. He gently nudged on my side, making me snicker. He practically vibrated with happiness. He poked again, a full out laugh coming from my mouth.
And then I snort.
Everything goes silent, Jetstorm's happy face now fully of confusion. Suddenly Thornly burst out laughing. I turned around on the large blue hand, seeing Jetfire simply attacking her with pokes and prods. Suddenly a soft pressure pressed into my side, making me burst out laughing and fall onto my back. Jetstorm laughed. 
After a couple more minutes, and a red face, they set us down, still giggling. Thornly rested up against me, looking exhausted, but still chuckling.  Whiplash scooped us up once again, holding us close to his chest. His chest rumbled against our backs as he glared at the jet twins. Jazz stepped in between him and them. 
"Woah, woah, cool it. They was only playin'. They're friendly, just trust." Jazz said, waving his hands in front of them for emphasis. Whiplash seemed almost calmed by his words, where as his hands loosened and his chest stopped rumbling. He nodded slowly.
"Yeah, sorry about that. Still gotta get used to this whole 'team' thing." He chuckled nervously.
The 'bots chatted for a while longer, talking about some wanted 'bot who escaped from the prison. Whiplash listened openly, telling them what he did and didn't know. After the conference was done, the Elite guard left, much to the displeasure of the Jet twins, and the pleasure of the snobbish Prime. 
Thornly was already asleep on my side, and Sari, who had just returned with Bumblebee a few moments later, was fast asleep against his leg, the small 'bot asleep as well. All of the 'bots had decided to call it a night, heading back to their rooms in a short time. 
With Whiplash's help, I gently set Thornly on the couch next to Sari, clumping my jacket up and using it as a pillow for her. Whip gently cupped me in his hands, setting me on the ground for a moment so he could tramsform. The front passenger door opened, and I slunk in, curling up on the warm seat.
The hologram flickered to life, a small smile on his face as he brushed a piece of hair out of my face. I smile softly, closing my eyes as his hands smooths my hair. Sleep came quickly. But not before gentle words cooed me to a gentle peace.
"Recharge well, my beautiful Femme..."
