"And I am known to most as Starscream."
Sam's eyes widened. 'Starscream? What is he doing here?' He moved his hand down to his pants pocket, towards his cell phone.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you, boy. That would be very rude indeed to call someone while a guest was here." The black haired man now known as Starscream teased.
"What are you doing here? What do you want?" Sam said, his voice rising from fear, but he tried to cover it up with anger.
"I told you, boy, that I don't want anything from you… yet. I am merely here to give you a gift." Starscream explained darkly, while moving closer to Sam ever so slightly.
"What… What kind of gift? I didn't know Decepticon's were that generous." Sam snapped, nervously.
"Oh we are... when we want to be." He grinned manically and pounced, throwing Sam to the ground with a thud and then pinning him there with his body.
"H-Hey! Let GO of me!" Sam yelled frantically, struggling under the man's grasp. Starscream was just too strong for Sam, but he continued to struggle, feeling a surge of terror in his stomach.
"Ah Ah Aaah, little Earthling, or should I say… Allspark." Starscream whispered in Sam's ear and Sam's blue eye's widened almost as far as they could. The black haired holoform opened his mouth and two canine fangs became visible. They were a metallic silver color and were dripping with a dark colored liquid.
Instantly, he bit into the left side of Sam's neck, where it connected with his shoulder. It was piercing the artery there as well. Sam screamed painfully, but Starscream quickly covered his mouth with his hand, to avoid others busting down the door to investigate. As soon as he bit down, he injected a large quantity of dark liquid directly into Sam's bloodstream.
Sam cringed, wanting to scream louder but his mouth was being covered forcefully and his throat was going raw. It felt like someone was stabbing him in the neck with a steak knife and dumping liquid fire down the holes it was making. The pain spread and now it felt like the blood vessels in his whole body were on fire, an icy cold fire.
Starscream finally released Sam, who quickly turned over to throw up on the carpet next to him. Starscream smirked.
"Well, enjoy the gift, Allspark…" He scoffed, before opening the apartment door and leaving, gently closing the door behind him.
…
Sam lay there, painfully fidgeting a bit while having both hands hold the new injury on his neck. To say he felt horrible was an understatement. He felt like his body was going to explode.
"I-I've got to call B-Bee…" He choked out and, with trembling hands, reached into his pants pocket for his phone. Once he had it, his shaking fingers found the contact and he clicked send. It only rang once and it was answered.
"-Hello Sam, did you need something?-" The usual answer from Bumblebee; he sounded pleasant and calm.
"B-Bee! H-He bit me! He BIT me!" Sam frantically spewed into the phone speaker.
"-What? What happened? Are you alright? Sam?-" Bumblebee knew something was up, and he instantly began to send the phone conversation to Optimus Prime and Ratchet.
"Star-Starscream made a holoform… And he BIT me! My… my body feels like it's on fire!" Sam sputtered.
"-Starscream? Sam, we'll be there right away! Just hold on, Sam…-" The call was ended right there.
Sam dropped his still opened phone onto the floor next the where he was laying. He cringed, curling himself into a tight ball. All the cells in his body felt like they were melting off and the pain was so great, tears began to freely stream down his face and dripped to the carpet.
He gripped the fabric on his shirt so tight his knuckles were turning white. Sam tried to sit up, but his head felt as heavy as a chunk of lead. He couldn't hear anything other then his pounding heart and the ringing in his ears. Soon he began to feel very dizzy and his world started spinning.
He was fighting a battle to stay conscious.

Not far from there, a yellow Camaro squealed its tires in the dark street, pushing it's speedometer into the triple digits. A red and blue Peterbilt truck followed close behind as well as a green Hummer with red ambulance lights flashing.
The yellow Camaro was in front, with worry deep in his spark.
They zoomed past sleeping houses and orange street lights went by in blurs. It wasn't long before they approached Sam's apartment. The three colorful vehicles zoomed into the parking lot and quickly parked, then two of them quickly created holoforms of there own.
Out of the yellow Camaro, a young man looking no older then Sam stepped out; short, soft, messy platinum blond hair on his head. He wore a black shirt T-shirt along with a solid yellow hoodie jacket. He also wore blue jeans and yellow and black sneakers.
Out of the red and blue Peterbilt truck, an older man who looked to be in his late 30's appeared. His hair short and so black it almost looked blue. He wore black sneakers, dark blue denim jeans and a matching denim jacket along with a red T-shirt with an Autobot insignia right over where his heart would be.
Both had brilliant blue eyes that almost seemed to glow in the dark.
They ran towards the door of Sam's apartment and quickly busted inside, fearing the worst. They saw Sam lying on the floor near his desk and both scrambled over to him.
"Sam! Sam are you alright?" Bumblebee quickly sat by his side, adjusting Sam so his head was lying on Bee's lap. He grabbed Sam's hand and Sam instantly began to squeeze it like a lifeline.
"B-Bee..." Sam muttered weakly; his eyes struggled to stay open. A shiny layer of sweat coated his clammy skin. Bumblebee turned to face Optimus who was standing over them.
"His body temperature is dropping, Optimus!" He said, trying to remain calm. Bee looked at Sam again, but this time he noticed the two puncture wounds on his neck. Bee looked a bit closer and saw that the veins around the wounds were turning black.
"Bumblebee, we need to get him to the N.E.S.T. base, now." Optimus said, stepping towards the door. Bee nodded and gently picked up Sam bridal style. They quickly made their way back to their alt forms; Bee gently laying Sam in his backseat and closing the door before the holoform dissipated away.
The three vehicles quickly sped away into the night, on their way back to the base.
"Hold on, Sam…"

"Lord Megatron! The task has been completed!" Starscream exclaimed as he entered the dark barn that was their temporary base.
"Excellent, Starscream. Now our plan will begin at once." Megatron was pleased to hear Starscream did not fail. He stood up from where he was sitting. "Decepticons! The plan will now go into action!"
