Voices Are Back

*Y/n's POV*

It was three in the morning when Y/n got a very rude awakened from the voices in her head.

"Shut it!" Y/n snaps. She gets out of bed and leaves her room, stumbling down the hallway to the bathroom. She opens the medicine cabinet and grabs the bottle of Tylenol. After opening the bottle, she swallows two capsules. The angry voices had given her a migrane.

"Yeah well so are you!" Y/n leaves the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. To a sane person, she would be seen as having an argument with herself.

Rampage wakes up with a start after hearing the bathroom door slam close. His spark hums when it picked up the scent of anger. Like mulled spiced wine, a favorite of his. He gets out of bed and leaves his room in time to see Y/n head downstairs, the smell of mulled spiced wine trailing after her. "I should make her stay put. I wonder what made her angry." He puts on a pair of sweat pants that Tarn had provided him, otherwise he'd be out in his boxers.

Rampage heads downstairs and follows Y/n outside. She was heading towards the barn. He sees a horse by the barn door. The smell of mulled spiced wine started to fade follows by a new scent, calm and comfort, smelled like springtime after a good rain and it smelled like grass. He hated that smell. But he'd have to get used to a lot of smells he didn't like now that he was living with Y/n.

Y/n walks across the grass barefoot, the morning frost making her feet damp and cold. Once she gets to the barn door, she puts on her boots and walks Myztic back to his stall. "Morning, big guy. Do you want oats today or do you want to start with some hay?" She cleans out Myztic's stall before feeding him.

"So this is where you are hiding," said Rampage as he walks into the barn.

Myztic neighs and stomps his hooves. Y/n calms him down by petting him on his neck. "He would have hurt you by now if he didn't like you. He's my guest so behave, Myztic," said Y/n. Myztic snorts and heads into his stall where his food was.

"So what's the deal with the horse and chickens then?"

"The horse I inherited from my uncle, Theo, who still visits from time to time unlike the rest of my family. As for the chickens, Tarn got them for me. Said that having animals will help me heal."

"Heal from what?" Rampage walks over to Y/n. He could smell the mulled spiced wine again.

Y/n digs her sharp digits of her right hand into her left arm, drawing blood. "From whatever the hell Shockwave did to me!" Y/n snaps, causing Myztic to pin his ears back in annoyance. She leaves the barn, blood still dripping down her arm. The voices come back again, angrier this time. This time she snaps. It was during these times she looses control and attacks the nearest thing. Which in this case would be the barn door. Lobo who was sleeping underneath the tree by her home, springs to his feet. He sensed that something was wrong with Y/n and takes off running towards her.

Lobo grabs a hold of Y/n's cybernetic arm, using his weight to bring her down to the ground. What Y/n didn't know about Lobo was that his old owner trained him to restrain people and bring them to the ground in case an attacker broke into the home, without the need of spilling blood.

*Rampage's POV*

Rampage smells Y/n's anger and this time it was pretty potent. He enjoyed the smell. His spark vibrated in his chest, now having an adequate source of nourishment from Y/n's emotions. He makes his way over to Y/n and finds a large wolf dog trying to pin her to the ground. "Beat it, mutt!" Rampage growls.

Lobo growls at Rampage, trying to keep Y/n restrained.

"Leave!" Y/n growls at Lobo. Lobo takes off running and heads back into the house, in which the front door was left open by Rampage from when he came to the barn earlier.

Rampage pulls Y/n to her feet and ends up getting punched in the jaw with her cybernetic arm. He staggers back from her, wipping the blood from his mouth. "I'll put you in your place, you damn brat!"

"Try me," said Y/n. Her voice sounded different now as more energon leaked into her system. She didn't know it yet but her arm was leaking more energon into her system. But it wasn't the cause for the voices.

*time skip an hour later*

Rampage was in the bathroom bandaging up the gashes on his arms. "Chalk this up as more scars than I need." He applies more antiseptic to his wounds. During the fight he could smell energon coming from Y/n. That arm was slowly killing her with the leaking energon and that was what caused her to snap. "Maybe Shockwave is trying to do what Cryotek and I had done to Sasha," said Rampage. He finishes cleaning his arm before applying the last of the bandages. He had managed to knock Y/n out before carrying her back inside. Rampage didn't want to risk any harm to her unless he wanted to face Tarn's wrath. No point in making someone mad who can make your very spark explode by making their voice match the pulse of your spark.

Rampage checks on Y/n before he heads back to his room. She was asleep, calm and peaceful, which tasted molasses cookies. Rampage had them once years ago which was when he was bored of bland tasting food which was served where he was staying. He heads back to his room, wishing he could taste Y/n's anger again. He was almost drunk from the scent alone when he first smelled it. "I think I'll stay a while. Something tells me that staying here will make it so I'm fed and soon enough, in more ways than one."

Rampage lays down in bed, had just discarded the sweat pants into the hamper. "Maybe I can convince Y/n to take me shopping. Not going to be stuck wearing what Tarn gave me. Maybe I could go back to my hiding spot to get the rest of my stuff. Just maybe..." It wasn't long before Rampage falls asleep.
