Chapter 7

Dahlia ran around Jack as the boy tried to stop her by stepping in front of her. He didn't try to grab her, mostly because he did not know how she would react to someone reaching out to her when she is this angry. However, Jack was wishing he had, because as Miko ran around the speaker to try and avoid Dahlia, Dahlia climbed over the speaker and jumped down in front of the girl. Miko yelp, dropping her guitar in shock, unintentionally caused the guitar to play a key, and Dahlia clamped her hands over her ears as Miko had the sound turned all the way up. So the single key being played was extremely loud, and Dahlia twitched with a whimper before letting out a growl.

"I'm sorry!" Miko shouted as she pleaded to Dahlia. "I didn't know you would react this way!"

Dahlia glared at Miko and lunged at her suddenly. Bulkhead gasped as he had just missed Dahlia again, and he watched as Dahlia tackled Miko from behind, making the girl yelp as she lands on her stomach hard. Miko quickly tried to crawl away, but Dahlia grabbed on of Miko's pigtails and yanked hard, making the girl scream in pain before Dahlia threw her into the wall, causing Miko to hit her back hard and grimace from pain.

Miko gasped in shock as Dahlia stepped forward and she covered her face with her arms as Dahlia lunged with her mouth open, aiming for the girl's throat, just as Jack grabbed Dahlia's arms to pull her away. "Stop, Dahlia!" Jack pleaded in a loud tone. He didn't shout, but Dahlia turned her head to glare at him. She yanked, and managed to pull away, though the yank hurt Jack's arms and Dahlia tried lunging again. "Please, stop!" Jack grabbed her arms again, and she pulled away from him again. "Miko didn't mean it!"

Jack grabbed her again, and Dahlia turned her attention on him this time, and growled before lunging and tackling him onto the ground. Jack winced as the back of his head hit the cement hard, and he stared in shock as Dahlia gripped his shoulders hard, and he grimaced as he could feel the tips cutting into his skin. She was unhappy he intervened, and he knew it. But then she lunged down, with her mouth open and Jack turned his head with a wince.

Jack felt her breath, and he swore he felt the tips of her teeth tickle the skin of his throat, just as Bulkhead grabbed Dahlia and lifted her away quickly. Though he yelped as Bulkhead unintentionally caused Dahlia to scratch his shoulders. Jack was a little relieved, but now he had to stop the bleeding on his new wounds, and he would likely have to get rid of these clothes so his mother did not find them, and get worried over them.

"Dahlia, stop!" Bulkhead held the girl firmly as Dahlia struggled in his fingers. She was hissing and swiping, aiming her claws towards Jack and Miko before began trying to hit her claws into the gaps between the plates of his fingers, only to find Bulkhead's ligaments had a reinforcement to them, which protected him from her attacks. "Easy, Dahlia. I am not going to hurt you."

Dahlia whimpered as she realized she couldn't escape from Bulkhead and she tried to push her hands on his fingers, pushing hard to get him to release her, but Bulkhead wouldn't let her. Especially as he was holding her with both of his hands. Dahlia let out another hiss, and she was starting to get more frustrated, and she tried to use her feet to push on his fingers to do the same, but Bulkhead had a good hold on her.

Miko took deep breaths as she trembled, staring back at Dahlia. Jack stood up on his feet with a sigh and he looked at Miko. "You okay?" She shook her head, as she did not feel okay. "I guess the autobots were right in no loud noises." Miko nodded as she realizes that now. "You really should have listened. Look what has happened."

"I'm sorry." Miko looked at Jack as she could see the blood staining his clothes from the injuries to his shoulders. "I...I thought they were bluffing..."

"Do you really think after yesterday that they were?" Jack asked the girl bluntly and she shrugged. He glanced back to see Raf was still hiding behind one of the speakers, and that he was okay. He was relieved and looked back at Miko. "I can tell you love music, Miko. But the bots are just trying to protect us as well as Dahlia. This is all the result of whoever experimented on her."
