~Prologue~
A rare cold wind blew through the normally warm summer night. Curled up underneath a large oak tree was a young human girl. The girl was barely covered in the rags that could once be called clothes. Scars, bruises and dried blood were littered across her thin frame from her ankles to her elbows. The rest of her upper body was hidden by a mass of thick black hair. The small girl was curled up into a ball shaking and shivering, a low whimpering sound escaping from her throat. At the same moment thousands of miles upward four meteriotes were hurtling towards Earth. The hour grew later, somewhere a clock struck 10, as the cold night air settled fully upon the girl. Suddenly a flash of intense heat alerted her making her jump in fear. Her ice blue eyes grew wide in terror as a giant rock crashed into the ground not far from where she was. she pushed herself to her feet planning on having a closer look when a large silver bot climbed out of the hole.

A soft whimper drew the bots attention got the frightened girl. He nearly blew a gasket at the sight of such an injured Sparkling. He kneeled down more on her level only for her to cower away in fear hiding her face behind her arms.

"Sparkling, why do you cower away from me," asked the large bot. The little one peeked up at the large metal creature. She had no idea what it was only that it clearly wasn't like her.

"You no hurt me?" she asked in a small voice.

"No little one, I will not harm you," replied the bot.

~Optimus to Ironhide~ Have you landed?

~Ironhide to Optimus~ Yes, but I have run into a human Sparkling. Ironhide trailed off as the little girl climbed into his open hand. He brought her up to his chest and she relaxed in the warmth and the sound of his spark. Ironhide knew his emotions for the Sparkling were being broadcasted to Optimus through the bond shared by all Cybertronians.

~Optimus to Ironhide~ bring the child with you I wish to see her for myself. Acknowledging his request Ironhide cut the comlink and started walking cradling the human Sparkling. Before long Ironhide spotted a black GMC Topkick, he was quick to scan it and transform. The human youngling woke with the sudden movement. She looked around terrified as Ironhide wrapped a seat belt around the youngling, speaking softly to calm her down. The child fell asleep less than five minutes into the drive leaving Ironhide to come to terms with his feelings for the Sparkling and realize he cared for her as if she was his own.
