-:-
Just one more moment, that's all that's needed
Like wounded soldiers, in need of healing
Time to be honest, this time I'm pleading
Please don't dwell on it, cause I didn't mean it.

I'm scared. Where's daniluk?
I can feel something tugging at my spark- it's warm, comforting, encouraging me to slip into recharge. I don't want to recharge. I want daniluk. Where is she?
Curious, I poke at the pod surrounding me. What's happening? Why am I trapped in here?
The warmth in my spark is more insistent, almost shoving me into recharge. I protest with a weak chirrup, trying to find some way out of here. I don't like it. I want daniluk's sparkling chamber. I want to hear her spark, not this emptiness that echoes around me.
Nervously, I chitter quietly to myself, feeling instinctively that something is very wrong.
Suddenly, there is a ripping sensation that tears through my spark with all of the speed of a glitch-mouse, drowning me in pain. It hurts.
Everything fades. I hear shrill screeching. It's me.
Frantically, I reach out to daniluk, instinctively seeking comfort.
But there is nothing there. Daniluk's bond disappeared. Fear floods through me. Where is daniluk? Why can't I feel my daniluk anymore? Whimpering, I curl, a weak defense to try and ward off the pain. It hurts a lot, mostly in my spark, but also in my processor. Why does my processor hurt?
The pod I'm in shudders, and I squeal in alarm as sudden pressure pushes down on me. Venting is hard. Panic reappears, and I tremble, barely able to squeak as the pain is back, coming through my spark again.
I want it to stop. It hurts. I want daniluk to hold me in her sparkling chamber and let me listen to her spark.
Recharge scares me. I don't want to recharge until I'm in daniluk's sparkling chamber. But why isn't daniluk answering? I'm scared. Daniluk always answers.
Heat. Uncomfortable at first, but getting warmer as sudden shaking hits again. How long have I been in here? I want out.
The heat is beginning to hurt more than the pain in my spark.
I whimper, curling tighter in an attempt to make it hurt less. But it just keeps getting warmer. Squeaking, I try to reach out to daniluk again, only to meet the pain again. It hurts so much, and it's getting worse.
In a sudden rocking explosion, I'm launched against the wall of the pod, hard. More pain floods my processor, but I can't control it like daniluk can. Silence surrounds me, and I hurt everywhere. I force myself to relax, reassuring myself that daniluk will come and get me soon, wherever I am. The thought is comforting, and recharge suddenly seems like a very good idea.
Venting softly, I curl as tightly as I can before forcing myself into recharge, hoping that when I wake I'll be safe in daniluk's sparkling chamber.
