Um... I don't own Transformers... Just my OC's Cassie and Crescent. Thank you.

Chapter 0: Prologue

Grey eyes stared out the car window as the world outside passed in a blur. Their owner mute as she sighed softly as she shifted her gaze to her feet. Out of the corner of her eye she caught her aunt nervously glancing back at her from the passenger seat. The memory of what the doctor had told her aunt and uncle came to mind...

"We are concerned about her mental health. I've noticed that she has had a... relapse with her schizophrenia and so I've increased her medications. I also hate to say this but we have been worried about suicide..."

Judy gasped. "She hasn't-"

"No. But with her relapse and the loss of her father..."

"We're almost home sweetie." Her aunt Judy said breaking her from her thoughts as her uncle pulled the car off the freeway.

"I know things are going to be different from now on but... hopefully you like it here..." a voice whispered into her ear.

No I won't... I want my old life back... Cassie thought as she closed her eyes and stuck her ear buds in her ears. She didn't want anyone to tell her how her life was going to be, she wanted it as it had been.

"Here we are." Ron said as he pulled into the driveway.

"Home sweet home," Her aunt chortled.

"Peachy."

Cassie ignored the voice with a shake of her head, biting back the retort that sprang to mind. The sixteen year old closed her eyes as she tried to ignore the echoing voice in her head...

Ron opened her door and gave her a weak smile. "Come on sweetie. Let's get you settled in."

Cassie flinched at the endearment but mutely clambered out of the car. Judy slid her arm over the sixteen year olds shoulders and led her into the house. "Now we fixed you up a room, it's on the opposite side of the hall from Sam's room... Say are you hungry? I could fix you some of my famous meatloaf for dinner..."

The girl cringed as she finally said something for the first time in two days since Judy and Ron joined the girl. "Aunt Judy... I'm a vegetarian..."

Judy blinked at the girl's quiet statement before smiling. "Then how about some stir fry?"

Cassie nodded as she headed up the stairs and giving Ron a brief nod and thanks for carrying her bags to her room. He closed the door behind him as he left her alone in the room. She opened one of her bags and pulled out her sketchpad. She glimpsed over her last set of drawings, pictures of her father working under one of the precinct's patrol cars, his friends Reggie and Jon also bent over the hood of the vehicle as they joked with the mechanic underneath it.

Tears welled up in her eyes once more as she thought about her father. She wanted to be home... with him laughing over who was going to cook that night... someone that didn't judge her for the things that made her different... Cassie sighed as she gathered her pens and made her way back downstairs and out to sit in the yard below.

All I'm saying is that I don't need you freaking her out. I doubt that seeing you in your bipedal form isn't the best thing for her at this minute in time Bee." Sam said as Bumblebee drove him back towards his house. Sam had just gotten out of school and had been instantly been berated again by Bee about his cousin.

"And the how do you know that I'm not going to 'freak' her out with me using my holoform?" The blonde haired holoform narrowed his azure eyes at Sam in irritation.

"I don't. I haven't really seen her in like five years since her mom and sister died... The only thing I do know is that she has a multitude of psych problems the least of which is her schizophrenia."

A blank look crossed the holoform's face as Bee looked up the term. "... She has multiple personalities?"

"Just one... It's actually named after her sister... She developed her other personality after Crescent died."

Bee blinked at the name "Crescent?"

"Yeah. Her real name was Artemis but she hated it as well as her mother's nickname for her Artie, so we called her Crescent instead." Sam said as Bee pulled into the back driveway and parked in front of the garage. "Anyways if she starts muttering she's most likely talking to her other personality, so don't-" Sam cut himself off as he found the short Brunette sitting in the grass under one of the trees in the backyard glaring at him.

(Cassie POV)

Cassie glanced up when the sound of an engine drew her from the sketch she had been working on. She at first put on a smile when he saw Sam until she heard what he was telling his companion... She glared as she heard him say: "...if she starts muttering, she most likely talking to her other personality so don't-" Sam by now had caught the dark look she was shooting at him as Crescent growled at the 'personality' comment.

"Hmph. I am not just a figment of your imagination."

"Heey! How are you doing?" Sam smiled as he tried to save face.

Cassie shook her head before replying, "I see that you still have your foot in your mouth. I can only hope that you've at least changed your socks Samuel. I wouldn't want you getting athletes face."

"Ow you wound me with such words."

The girl went back to her sketchbook ignoring the two of them.

"I can see that he hasn't really changed."

I don't know Crescent... Look at his aura... Something's changed... Cassie thought as she slyly eyed her cousin over the sketchbook.

"You're right... Have you checked out the cutie though? He barely has an aura..."

"Again you've got another solid point. Not that it is a good one... I've seen ghosts with more of an aura than he does." Cassie muttered as she watched the two of them go inside the house.

"But the car..."

"I see it." her gaze shifted to look over her lenses at the yellow and black Camaro. She stared for sometime before a hand waved in front of her face causing her to jump. She turned to at the owner, which turned out to be the blonde haired guy that had been with Sam.

"Judy asked me to tell you it's time for dinner." he said as he flashed her a smile. Her sister swooned at his accent. She shot the specter a brief glare before nodding and closing the book.

"Thank you...?"

"Uh... my designation is Ben, but you can call me Bee."

"Designation? Good grief how formal is this guy?"

A little too formal... "So um... I assume Sam already told you my name."

Bee shook his head. "Actually he hadn't gotten that far yet..."

Cassie snorted. "Figures he'd tell everyone that I'm cuckoo but not my name. Well It's Cassandra Cooper. Cassie for short."

"A pleasure to meet you Cassie."
