Metal Over Blood.

New home, same manners.

"So this is my new home?" I tilted my head looking at a cabin that was hidden in a forest. "More like a death sentence. I think I've seen this place in a movie you know, Cabin Fever, where they all die?" I smirked looking up to Prime. There was an old run down barn that apparently used to hold 100 horses or more for rich people years back, it was big enough for Wolfie and Prime anyway, Ratchet could just make the squeeze in it leaving Ironhide and Bumblebee outside the small home.
"At Least you have a home." Wolfie stated transforming into her wolf stance. I found she tended to stay down on all fours most of the time, not sure why.
"Sorry I-"
"I know. Just count yourself lucky to what you have, protection, warmth and a home. That's more than people or autobots could ask for." And with her adding that she turned and headed into the barn, using her tail to shut it behind her. 
"Don't let her get to you." Ironhide told me. The trees surrounding the cabin were tall enough to cover us all, and we had no reason to be on high alert. Although we were more than likely wanted by the government, we knew that last place they'd look was a forest in the middle of Washington, or at least the forest we were hiding in. "She's seen too many things to feel ungrateful."
"One day you'll understand." Ratchet added with a nod of his head. 
"I need new clothes." I sighed walking up the steps to unlock the cabin.
"Nope, nope you don't." A familiar voice rang out and I jumped as the door opened and Elle walked out with a smile pulled to her lips, ear to ear. A squeal ran from my lips and I pulled her into the tightest hug ever. "Easy, breathing. Cannot."
"Sorry." I laughed letting go and standing back looking at her. "Are you actually here?" I asked again and she nodded.
"In the flesh, baby!" She laughed spinning on the spot before I hugged her again. "I bought you some clothes, just don't be asking for any Christmas presents, okay?"
"Crap that's in a few days." I sighed and laughed nodding at her.
"You should see what I got you." Bumblebee said and I turned around.
"You got me something?"
"I got you something. We all did."
"Well they told me and I bough it, my Dad is a very generous man." Elle flaunted. "Well he thought I'd moved out and gave me like 10 grand to sort everything out. We're covered for a while."
"How much did this place cost?" I asked pointing to the place.
"Not a penny, it's not on the map, no one knows it's here."
"Wait, seriously?" I frowned.
"Seriously, so no ordering pizza."
"Damn." I laughed and she took me inside. It was nice, the living room had cream walls, black leather sofa and the whole house was ran through with dark laminate flooring. It had a black rug and the fire was burning with the smell of burning logs. So peaceful. Blissfully perfect. It had a small table with lit candles that smelt like vanilla and it filled the room with such a scent that you couldn't help but get a whiff. She dragged me into the kitchen and I was overwhelmed by how pretty it was, this floor was the only one that was different and it was black tiled flooring, silver and red stripes covered the room following with black appliances and everything else. I  ran to the fridge, pulling it open to look at the glorious foods stocked up inside and grinned pulling out bread sticks. Wait what? I frowned looking at them. "Why are these in the fridge?" 
"Why not?" 
"Because they're not meant to be."
"And you're not meant to be ugly, don't see me complaining." Elle grinned to me whilst leaning against the door before wincing. "Too far?"
"Line crossed."
"No offence."
"None taken, frog face." I grinned to her.
"I missed you." She admitted as I offered her a bread stick and I nodded at her.
"I missed you too. Wanna watch a movie?" 
"Captain America." 
"Oh my." I sighed rubbing my eyes before she made a yelp and ran to the living room. What had I done...

"See, Bucky's amazing!" Elle beamed sitting up and crossing her legs to look at me, still sat with a smile. 
"Bucky tried to kill his best friend." I stated standing and stretching my legs and arms with a yawn. "What time is it?"
"Half eleven." Elle replied putting her phone away. I nodded looking at her and point to the hall stairs. 
"I'm going to bed. Where's my room?"
"It has a sign on it." Elle grinned to me with such an expression I thought her face was going to stick like that forever. I nodded at her and turning on my heels I jogged up the nicely dim lit stairs. Elle had stuck fairy lights on the walls and once upstairs upon the narrow hallway there was 5 rooms, 2 on either side and at the end of it stood a lonely door, and it reminded me of me and I chuckled before covering my mouth before scanning the door signs. Elle, bathroom, Senna's, spare room and attic. I walked to my room, worried slightly knowing that Elle had decorated it before opening it with a smile. It was reasonable size, with enough space even with the black double bed, two bed side tables either side, a makeup table with a chair in the middle of it and draws either side, an antique mirror was stood proudly on it and there was a wardrobe in the corner followed by a present. I frowned up to it and picking it up. It was small, I opened it and smiled. I remembered this being took, I'd got Will to take it for me. It was Prime, Ratchet, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Jazz and me in the middle with a grin pointing to them all as they stood behind me. A smile painted on my face whilst the tear rolled from my eyes as I ran my fingers of Jazz, god I missed him and his sense of humor. "You shouldn't be crying over the picture, Sen. It was a happy time." A voice came from the door frame before slowly making its way towards me. I smiled. 
"Yeah I know it's just, he's not here, you know?" I sighed. "He died protecting us, and I just.."
"Feel bad about it?" She gave me a half smile before shrugging. "I can't stop thinking about it." Elle sighed and starched the back of her head, taking the picture out of my hands and placing it on the bedside table just in front of the lamp before turning to me and whipping a small tear that ran down her cheek. "We'll be okay won't we?" She asked.
"I promise." I reassured her before pointing to my window which was covered by black blinds. "We've got the best army outside there for protection, we're safe." I smiled as she nodded and ran a hand through her hair, making her way to the door before looking over to me over her shoulder.
"I'm glad you're okay, Sen."
"Me too." I replied watching her shut the door behind her before dropping the wrapper on the floor and literally diving on the bed. I realised how I tired I was the moment my head hit the soft pillow and I was thrown into a deep deep sleep. 

Knock, knock, knock... A frown covered my face and I groaned rubbing my eyes. Slowly I sat up, checking for my phone before groaning. Wait, where was my phone? I hadn't seen it for a while. A laugh ran from my lips as I remembered I'd left it in my old house, it was in the living room on charge. Definitely broken now, thanks to Wolfie. Not that I'd go round and just knock for it anyway. Elle ran in wearing a towel around her, her hair dripping. 
"Will you go outside, Wolfie is being a dog and wanting to speak to you!" She stormed out and I laughed. Wolfie was being a dog? Enough said. I jumped out of bed, yawning the moment my feet connected with the floor before running out the room, downstairs and outside, skidding into the foot of Wolfie, causing a groan to run from her lips. Rude. 
"Watch out." She mumbled to me before looking down. "Oh... I didn't notice that it was you."  She replied before leaning down to me. "We need to go scout the area, and I was hoping you would join me." She replied and I smiled looking at her. 
"Sure, why not. Where abouts are we going?" 
"Just around the area. Prime went earlier and still hasn't come back." 
"Oh." I replied and frowned. "That's not like him." 

That's really not like him...
