Starscream's beginning chapter 1 the first day

I remember when I first found that autobot Starscream as sparkling. I always knew he'd return to his autobot roots. Even though I raised him to be a decepticon. How do I know this? You might ask. I raised him. My name is Back lasher.

It all started around 23 thousand years ago. And yes Starscream is an adult now with a wife and daughter. This all started before the minicons came to Cybertron. That means before we even came to earth.

I remember that day like it was yesterday. It all started like this I was walking near an autobot village when I came across wrecked up looking house. I decide to walk inside. Once inside I heard the crying of a distressed sparkling. I went into the room were the crying was coming from. And found the little one all alone. I kept waiting for his parents to come and chase me out but they never came. So I came to the conclusion that the little guy lost his parents. And I knew if he didn't get nourishment soon he would perish. So I picked him up and saw what his tag which was around his neck said. It said "Starscream" on it. So I took the little orphan to the medic of my village to get it check up to see what kind of damage had been done since it might of been alone for awhile.

"Let's find out the gender." The medic said. He removed the panel and looked. "It's a mech." He said "Now lets see how old he is." The medic said. The method of finding out a sparklings age is by checking the denta. Starscream kept on crying especially now that a stranger was feeling the inside of his mouth. "He is three months of age. Oh poor little guy looks like his mother had been nursing him so it will be hard for him to take to the bottle." He medic discovered the infant had been badly handed me a dropper to try to feed him. Starscream kept crying. "Come on little guy eat." I begged. But Starscream kept kicking and screaming and he made the dropper spill and all that was left was a single drop. I didn't know what else to do but hum. The minute Starscream heard my humming and he stopped the screaming and began to whimper. "Huh? All that just to hear a lullaby?" I said. Starscream cried again. So I went back to humming and I brought the dropper to his mouth again it was still open and put the last drop of energon in his mouth. Then Starscream licked his his lips. I guess now he realized his own hunger. He reached for the dropper and cried. "Sorry there is no more you made spill it." I said. But he kept on crying. Give me that yummy stuff! It tastes like the stuff mommy gave me please! I'm very hungry! Please! NOW! Starscream thought. "Come on I know what to do." The medic was starving and he had to force energon into his body with a wire. Then he gave me a bottle and told me to take him to an orphanage. But I told him I would care for him because he trusts me."It might be hard to him to take to the bottle but you'll be surprised what a starving sparkling will do," He told I took the little one home with me after filling out the papers to make it official. He was still fast asleep I kept a crib in storage just encase I got married and had sparkling. So I set up the crib and put the little one in there. And I know the first couple of nights will be hard for him because his world has turned upside down. I knew I had to do everything in my power to nurse Starscream back to health. I threw a blanket over him and tucked around his sides. I sighed and told the little guy with out think "Pleasant dreams little guy." And stroked his little head. I felt sorry for little guy.

I lay down on my berth and before I knew it I was fast asleep. Then I was woken by a loud cry. I turned over and tried to drown out the noise. I could tell you the crying was getting louder. I got up to my feet and ran into the room where the crib was. I saw Starscream squirming and crying loudly. I picked him up. "What's wrong little guy?" I asked as I pressed him to my chest. I discovered he felt cold. I saw the blanket at the end of the crib. You knocked your blanket off in recharge no wonder you're so upset." I walked back and forth rocking him. "It's okay your alright." I cooed. He quieted to a whimper then his whimpering ceased. Then he stuck his thumb in his mouth "No, no not your thumb." I told him and tugged it out his mouth. When I did he began to cry then I pulled out pacifier and stuck in his mouth he began to suck on it and I saw his optics grow heavy. I grabbed another blanket which was thicker and warmer and I wrapped it around him. I began to hum and fell back to sleep. I felt relieved and placed back in the crib. Are all sparklings this needy? I wondered as I went back to sleep.

After awhile there was more crying. I almost lost my temper that time. I sighed and picked myself up and walked to the room where Starscream was. Picked him. "What is it this time little guy?" I asked even though I knew he was too young to answer. I saw the pacifier in the crib. I figured he must of spit it out when he was going to cry. I stuck it back in his mouth. His crying stopped. I sighed from relief. Starscream sucked on it a couple of times then he whined and spat it out to cry again and this time even louder. I placed him over my shoulder to try to calm him down. He managed to get one of his arms free and reached over my shoulder and cried even louder. Then I looked over my shoulder and saw the bottle. "So that's what you want." I whispered. I don't know if knows that is for his feeding? I wondered. I walked over to get it and went over to the energon dispenser and set it on low grade and began to fill it up he was crying still and kept it up and reached for it. That looks like the yummy stuff! Give it to me NOW! Starscream thought and cried even louder. I want to be fed! Starscream thought and kept squirming and crying and continued to reach for the bottle."It's okay." I told him. Finally the bottle was filled. I screwed the lid on. I sat down and lowered the bottle to Starscream's mouth. I don't know what that is but it has the yummy stuff in it! Starscream thought as he latched on and grabbed the bottle and began to suckle right away. He began to suck harder and faster wanting more and more. I pulled the bottle out his mouth with a bit of tug fight. "Slow down I don't want you to choke or get the hiccups." I told him all I got from him was a cry and his little hands reaching for the bottle. Give it back! Starscream thought ."Fine." I told him and brought the bottle back to his mouth he went back to suckling. "You sure are a greedy little fella." I told him. I was surprised when he finished the whole thing. I knew Starscream needed to be burped. So I patted him on the back very gently then I heard a small "Burp." I brought him back to my chest and went back to sleep and I put him back in his crib.

"Oh for the love of the universe!" I said when Starscream began to cry again. "What's wrong?" I asked him after I picked him up. He calmed right down and went back to sleep I was confused and placed him back in his crib and he began to cry before I left the room. Don't go! Come back I want you! Come back new daddy! Starscream thought. Then it hit me he just wanted to be held when he was sleeping. He was lonely. So I picked him up and sat in a chair. I'm safe now and I don't want you to ever leave me, Starscream fell asleep and soon I was asleep too. Then my com link went off. "Hello?" I said. It was Death watch the leader of the decepticons at the time because the leader of decepticons now his son Megatron was just a youngling. He told me I was needed to train some new recruits. Then I told I have adopted a sparkling he needed looking after and last night was his first night with me he needed me. "Alright but be here the next day." Death watch told me. "Yes sir." I answered. I'll always look back o that first night fondly. The first night I took care of sparkling.
