simulation yields negative current.wierd!!

hello. i have a problem in figuring out the wierd negative current that appeared in the cct i was simulating. a 5 volt battery to the base of transistor, 12 volt battery via a relay to the collector and ground to the emmitter. the transister is an npn transistor along with the resistor to base n collector. the current is nagative but the relay seems to be working fine. got any clue???? base +ve current but collector n emitter is having -ve current

Current should be flowing into the base, into the collector, and out of the emitter. Whether that means positive or negative to you depends on where you're standing.

I have no idea what "the resistor to base n collector" might mean in English.
