The Little Girl and the Predacons

Wolf Within I

Wolf Within I

A blurry vision of a dark city can be seen. Someone was stalking through the empty street to a dark alley. There, three thugs were seen, harassing someone. That someone was a middle-age old man, pleading them to leave him alone, but they wouldn't. Then a wolf-like growl was heard behind them. They turn around and gasp to see what it was until that stranger charges at the two men with a growl, and the world went blank, except that the howling of a wolf was heard in the darkness.

Blue eyes snapped open, belonging to Jackson 'Jack' Darby, as he sat up quickly with a gasp. He was panting slightly at that strange dream as sweat slowly fell-down on his face. He looks around and notices that he was in his room. He looks at his digital alarm clock and notices that it was almost six am. Lucky, it was a Saturday and his shift at KO's is on Monday after school. It was almost Winter Break and every student was excited, mostly Miko. Though, it doesn't snow here so it's kind of ironic. Sighing, Jack lies back down on his bed, resting head on his pillow. He was about to go to sleep when he felt something in his hand. Sitting back up, Jack took out what it was, it was a golden chain necklace with fist symbol attached to it. Jack stared at it in confusion, how did he get this? It was clearly too expensive for him and his mom could afford. And yet, it was here in his hand.

"Where did this come from?" Jack mutters.

He wasn't sure why he had it but decided not to question it as Jack put the necklace on top of his drawer. He decided to get ready for today. There's no point in sleeping now since he's no longer tired. Jack gets off his bed and is about to head out, when he suddenly notices his window opened. The wind was blowing the curtains a bit from the open window. Jack narrows his eyes a bit before he looks towards his window suspiciously.

"I could've sworn I closed this last night." Jack mutters to himself.

Jack closes the window shut before he heads towards the bathroom to get ready for the day to meet with the Autobots. Once he finished getting ready, Jack came downstairs and headed to the kitchen to see his mom making breakfast. Her shift starts in an hour and will be back at noon. June smiles at her son as she greeted him before placing his breakfast, bacon and eggs, before they started eating their breakfast. When they're done, Jack heads off to the Autobot base. Arcee was parked at the back, waiting for Jack to get out.

"Ready to go?" Arcee asked.

Jack nodded as he put on his helmet and got on Arcee before heading out towards the base. As Arcee headed towards the base, Jack was lost in thoughts. He keeps getting strange dreams of something attacking robbers and thieves before going back that was followed by a loud howl from a wolf. He doesn't understand why but maybe it was nothing. They reach the base and enter the passageway. Jack gets off Arcee and removes his helmet. He saw that some Autobots are here, Ratchet, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Mudflap and Skids, Jolt, and Bluestreak.

The others were probably scouting for energons. Jack went to his friends who were top of the platform watching TV. They greeted him while Jack greeted them with a wave. He sits next to Raf as they watch cartoons for a while. Then the groundbridge opens to reveal the rest of the Autobots with some energons coming in.

"How was the search?" Ratchet asked.

"There were few energons, but it's enough for us to last for a few cycles." Optimus answered.

"Hey, at least it's better than nothing." Hound added as he walked towards his spot to fix his weapon.

Ratchet shook his helm at Hound before returning to his work. Jack watches the whole thing, feeling sad that he only has few resources of energon. Suddenly, the show about Raf and Miko was interrupted by the news.
