Okay, i have a question to answer for some one. deathwingseeker, I am a girl and no i am not gay. i don't know why i enjoy this kind of stuff but i just do. as my friends put it, "Girl, your mind is sick and twisted when you want it to." and i guess their kind of right. but I am truely possitive that i am not gay. Okay now that i have that done, ON WITH THE SHOW ... or story as the case may be.
"You really care that much for this human?" a voice came from nowhere. "What does it matter if I do or do not?" Starscream? Where was I and where was Starshadow?
"We only care about the human's safety." a new voice, this one much deeper. "Then that's where we share the same cause." Who was Starscream talking to and why couldn't I see him.
"You care for a human? That's got to be the most unlike story that I have ever heard of. You could care less about one human." I didn't like this voice, it sounded old and grumpy, almost like my grandfather.
"Leave her Be! I said leave her Be!" Starscream sounded hurt; oh wake up come on WAKE UP. "What has this human done to you to make you so protective of her? Is she holding something of use to you?" there was that first voice again, and she didn't sound too happy.
Suddenly I felt myself being lifted off the ground, I felt like a rag doll in this hand. "Put them Down! She has nothing on her being!" "Then why do you have her with you!" the voice clutched me close. I could hear Starscream give off a defeating sigh, "She helped me in my time of need. She was the first to not call me a monster."
OoOoOoOoOo
Giving off a shocked gasp, I bolted up right. It was all a dream, a very odd and confusing dream.
Looking around me I saw that I was still in the barn. Then looking down in my arms, I saw that I was still holding Starshadow. His eyes were still dark so I didn't wake him up, thank goodness for that. Then looking up, I saw that Starscream was the same. I gave off a smile; he really did look kind of hot for an alien.
Shaking my head free of those thoughts, I thought about what time it was. Trying my best not to wake up both Starscream and Starshadow, I rummaged through my back pockets and found my phone. Tapping the on button, it read about 7 o'clock.
Dad was already at work and Mom wasn't going to pick me up until 12:30, so I had free time. Looking down towards the ground, I saw that I was at least good six or seven feet away. Getting down was not going to be easy.
"Planning your escape?" Jolting in surprise, I turned around to see that Starscream was fully awake. "You startled me." Starscream smiled and gently lowered me to the ground. "What can I say; I'm a startling kind of Cybertronian."
As I touched the ground, I turned to face Starscream. "A Cyber what?" He gave off a chuckle and sat up a little. "Cybertronian. It's what my kind is called. But if you want to get technical, I'm what you call a Seeker."
All the while Starscream spoke I was glued to every word. I always had a liking to new facts and what Starscream was talking about was like I had hit the jackpot. "Tell me more about your kind." Starscream smiled and motioned for me to take a seat. "This may take a while." pulling a piece of wood over, I sat down with a smile. "I got time."
OoOoOoOoOo
"And then the Great War broke out between Autobots and Decepticons alike. And after many eons the war consumed out plant Cybertron, leaving it a lifeless waste land and us to search for new planets to live upon." I don't know how long it had been but my bum told me it must have been hours.
Starscream had told me everything he knew about his home planet. From the Techno people who walked it, to its art and music, to its science, and even about its large history.
"What side were you on? Autobot or Decepticon?" Starscream looked unhappy when I asked this question. "What is it Starscream?" I asked and he turned his head away from me. "Does it matter what side I was on? In the end, I am now a neutral." After hearing him say that, I already knew his answer.
"Decepticon." it was more of a statement then a question but Starscream answered anyways. "Yes." From what Starscream had told me about the Decepticons, I was kind of shocked and at the same time not surprised.
"It's in the past now. Everybody's made choice their not proud of... even me." Starscream turned his gaze back to me and smiled. "Thank you." I shrugged "No problem."
For a while neither of us spoke until the silence was broken by the quiet mew of Starshadow. Looking down, I saw that Starshadow had fully awakened and was happily playing with my fingers. "What are you going to do to feed him? You said that Sparklings need very low grade energon."
I finally figured out what that blue stuff was called that was coming out of Starscream. He told me it was called energon and it was the life blood of his kind. "I can give him what I have left in me. My body filters the energon so I can give it to Starshadow and it won't affect him." Starscream held out his hand, and I slowly gave Starshadow to him.
Lifting him so that Starshadow lay across his chest, Starscream lifted his wrist to his mouth. "Wait, what are you doing!" I shouted, coming off my seat. "I don't have enough energon to feed him the proper way. The only way to give him the energon he needs if I give it to him by a wound." As Starscream slowly began to lift his wrist to his mouth, I remembered something.
"Hold on a moment! I think I have the solution." Starscream gave a sigh but stopped and lowered his hand to the ground. Nodding in my approval, I rushed off into the back of the barn. Crawling through the little opening that lead to the back of the barn, I began to look around quickly.
"Okay, I know I placed it somewhere in here." Pushing a few logs out of my way, I found what I was looking for. At my feet lay a large chunk of a blue rock. I had found it in my dad's front yard years ago and placed it in the barn for safe keeping.
Picking it up, I struggled to get to the opening. The rock was half of my size and twice as wide, so with difficult I managed to get it back out to Starscream. Dropping the rock to the floor, I looked up at the shocked Starscream. "Where did you find this?" he asked. "Years ago I was digging in the dirt up by the front porch and found this."
Starscream slowly picked off a piece of it and examined it. "Are you able to take in solid energon?" I asked. Starscream nodded "It takes a little bit more time for my body to accept it but it will be filtered enough for Starshadow." Swallowing the piece of the rock, I watched as Starscream shuddered at the feeling of the rock.
After he had swallowed most of the rock, only about an amount the size of my brother was left, Starscream sighed and leaned back onto the barn for support. Then slowly, Starscream's chest opened and I saw the same kind of rock that was inside Starshadow's chest.
Pulling out a small pipe, Starscream attached it to Starshadow's chest and suddenly light blue energon flowed through the pipe to Starshadow. Starshadow mewed a little but after he figured out that he was being fed, he went silent and rapped one of his hands around the pipe.
I could feel my face turning a bright red and I turned around so Starscream couldn't see my face. "What is wrong my dear?" Man was it getting hot in here or was it just me. "Well, I just thought you might want some privacy." Oh my gosh, my face was fire here.
Starscream chuckled and took my shoulder in his hand and turned me around. "Why would I want Privacy? All I'm doing is feeding Starshadow." Oh why would my face go so red when it came to stuff like this, it made me look so funny. "Are you alright? Your skin has turned a new color." Oh Starscream you're only making worse.
"This happens to humans when their embarrassed. Humans don't usually feed their young like that out in the open." Starscream smiled and patted my shoulder. "You humans will always be a mystery to me. Why should you be embarrassed by something that is so natural to do? Doesn't your kind feed their young like this?" I nodded. "Yeah but they usually do it in another room or cover themselves." Oh I wish my face would chill already.
"You humans and your customs. Come here." Slowly Starscream lifted me up and placed me next to Starshadow. "Touch the cord. Go on." Why did he want me to do this? It was only going to make my face flush more. Taking my hands up to the pipe, I felt the warm energon flowing through it. Instantly my face cooled, the feeling of the flowing energon was calming and I soon fell at ease.
"See, why should you be embarrassed by something like this? Your able to do this with your young, so why can't we?" I could feel my face turning back to its normal pale color, the feel of the energon was like listening to a slow moving brook. Calming, relaxing, peacefulness, and carefree flowed through me. I haven't felt like this in ages, the last time I felt like this was when I was a small child.
"There we go. Back to your normal Fleshling color." Starscream gently rubbed my freckled cheek and combed his fingers through my long brown hair. Turning my gaze away from the pipe, I looked up at Starscream. His red eyes glued to my blue one, we didn't speak for the longest time until we heard a Starshadow mew again.
Looking down at the small Sparkling, we saw that he had done had his fill and was slowly reaching for me. As Starscream disconnected the pipe, I wedge myself between Starshadow and Starscream's hand. Instantly, Starshadow reached for me and took a hold of my hand.
Starscream laughed lightly as his chest closed. "I believe he thinks you're his sire." I looked up from Starshadow to Starscream. "What's that?" I asked. "A sire is in human terms is the father. Like how I am his carrier, his mother." I looked puzzled by this, 1) I thought Starscream was a man and 2) why did Starshadow think I was his sire.
"My species is able to reproduce by both Femme and Mech, if you're wondering." Oh... so that's how it worked. I sighed to myself, at least I didn't have to ask him about that but one thing still bugged me. "Then why does he think I'm his sire?" I asked. "You were the one to help him come into the world. That is usually done by the sire or our Spark mate."
Spark mate, wonder what that is? "A Spark mate is when you find your other half. Once you're are bonded your mated for life." It was kind of odd how he was able to guess what I was think, a little scary too. "Then where is your Spark mate?" Starscream looked away with a snarl. I must have said something wrong. "I have no Spark mate." Instantly I understood what Starscream was saying. He was raped. "I'm sorry." His expression changed to a calm smile in an instant. "That is alright."
OoOoOoOoOo
For some time nothing could be heard but the sound of the wind battering against the barn. Sometimes I thought I had fallen asleep next to Starshadow.
Why did I feel like this, the feeling of being safe in the arms of a giant alien? For most normal people the sight of the towering Mech would probably send them screaming into the hills but here I was, just lying peacefully in his hands.
There was just something about the Mech and Sparkling that lured me to them. Maybe it was the fact that they were different, like I was. Or it could be that Starscream had done things that he too regrets, just like I have. Well, whatever it was I liked it.
I finally felt excepted by someone instead of being resented for who I was and how I acted. Breaking away from my silent debate, I looked up at Starscream to see that he was watching the barn doors with curiosity. "What is it Starscream?" turning his head to me, he sh'd me and pointed to the doors. "I hear something outside."
Listening closely, I heard it to. "It's okay Starscream, it's just my mom pulling up." slowly jumping out of his hand, I rushed over to the doors and opened it slightly. "Wait here, I'll be back soon." shutting the doors, I rushed off towards the house.
OoOoOoOoOo
Like I had said, it was just my mom pulling up into the house. She was just stepping out of her truck when she finally saw me standing on the hill on the side of the house. "Autumn? What are you doing out here without a jacket?" Looking down at my chest, I had forgotten that I had given Starshadow my jacket last night.
Odd thing was that I didn't even feel the cold snow beating against my face. "I just stepped out right when you came in. I was checking up on dad's traps, he still hasn't caught that animal that stole his deer a few days ago." I didn't like to lie to my mom but if she found out the real reason for me being out she would through a fit, especially if she found out how long I was out.
"He still hasn't? You got to emit it though it's kind of funny." I nodded, things like that happened to my dad a lot. One time he had left a good sized mink he caught one day out and he went inside no more than five minutes and when he came back out it was gone. "Yeah it really is. What are you doing here so early?"
My mom shook her head and smiled. "Early? Autumn I'm an hour late. I figured you would want to spend some time with dad but I guess he left early again for work didn't he?" I nodded as I joined her at the bottom of the hill. "He said today he was working all the way in the next county. He said it would take him at least two hours to get there so he left early this morning."
Mom nodded and brushed her hand though her long blond hair. "Just like your dad. Says he wants to spend time with you and he ups and leaves. Do you want to come home or do you want to stay here?" I shrugged, and smiled "I'll stay. I have to go check the other traps in a little bit. Where's Wyatt?"
Mom pointed to the truck and I saw my brother sitting in his car seat playing with his cars and dino's. "Hey Curly!" My brother turned away from his toys and smiled with a wave. "Hi Sissy!" Moving towards my mom's opened window, I poked my head in to see my baby brother.
"Hi Curly, how are you?" Wyatt nodded happily "Fine Sissy." smiling back, I ruffled his massive blond curly locks, and hence the nickname I call him. "You be good to mom today for me will you?" he nodded and pushed away my hand. "Okay Sissy." placing a kiss on his forehead I waved goodbye and turned back to mom.
"You guys got to go home? If you want to stay a while we can watch a few movies or something." I already knew what my mom's answer would be, "No thanks, I promised Wyatt that I would take him over to his friend's house to play for the day." That wasn't the whole truth. Mom never liked to stay at dad's house for too long. And I didn't blame her. Almost every time my mom and dad were together it would usually end in them arguing about something like money or something about me.
"Well I hope you guys have fun. I'll see you tomorrow then mom." Mom nodded and placed a kiss on my cheek, "Love you pumpkin." I smiled and returned the kiss on her cheek, "Love you too mom." watching my mom walk back to the truck, she turned back only once to say this "And please put a coat on! I know you like the cold and all but even you have your limits." I laughed and shooed her off.
She was right about me liking the cold. Usually I would walk bare foot out on freshly fallen snow and out with only shorts and short sleeves. "Yeah yeah, see you later mom." mom waved to me and she slowly drove off. I loved my mom and all, but there are even something's she doesn't understand about me. Once I knew she was gone, I rushed back to the barn. I was gone longer then I had intended and I knew Starscream didn't have that kind of patience.
OoOoOoOoOo
Once I finally made it back to the barn, I slide the doors open and walked in. To my surprise, Starscream and Starshadow were gone. "Starscream? Where did you go?" shutting the doors behind me, I took a few steps in and I heard an odd humming sound. Looking up, I was shock to see a large jet hovering above me. "Whoa!" I said as I jumped back in surprise. But that wasn't nothing to what happened next.
The jet slowly came down and transformed into Starscream who was holding Starshadow in his hands. "Sorry to surprise you. I didn't know if it was you or not." I nodded but the surprised look never left my face. "That's okay. How did you do that?" I asked making motions with my hands, trying my best to mimic the thing that just happened.
Starscream smiled and handed me his arm. I watched as it quickly turned into a gun. "My kind is also gifted with the ability to change our appearance. It allows us to hide on your world without you humans knowing." he turned his arm back to normal and smiled. That would explain why I haven't seen any others like him.
"Neat. Anyway, mom let me stay so I can hang with you two for the rest of the day." Starscream seemed puzzled when I said that. "You know hang out? Spend time together, chill, and talk to each other?" Then it clicked for him and he nodded. "That sounds … nice." and so began the long talk about how his body worked and how things like energon came to be. To you guys boring but to me beyond happiness.
Well, another CHPTR done and posted. hoped you enjoyed it just as much as i have writting it.
Review please.
