Fangirls meet Transformers

Telling Secrets

               *      *      *

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'.
