Chap. 4: Sickly Sweet Lullaby

Swirling colors, overwhelming feeling of sickness, and then darkness. Once again I lay inside myself, dreaming. But this dream didn't have pictures. There was only a voice calling to me.

"Wake up," it said, "Wake up."

I opened my eyes to find myself trapped in darkness. I couldn't see anything. I couldn't tell if I was inside or outside. I was somewhere and nowhere at the same time. And I couldn't tell if I was alone or if someone was with me.

"Astrid, I was expecting you,"

My eyes widened as I searched for the source of the voice. The overpowering voice. It left me in fear and awe. And I knew someone who was expecting me.

"Megatron, where are you?"

An evil laugh reverberated around me erupting a shiver up and down my spine. Never has my heart beat so fast. What was he trying to do? If he was trying to scare me it was working.

"Look Astrid, look,"

I looked about me. I turned around only to see a pair of glowing pale blue eyes located way above me. I saw a glimmer of a white, smiling face.

"I've wanted you for quite some time human. You've really sparked my interest,"

My eyes adjusted to the dark and I saw what him tilt his head, still grinning, "Astrid, I know you're afraid of the dark."

How weak I felt after he said that. How did he know and why was he scaring me? I put my hands over my ears in an effort to stop the questions.

"What do you want with me?"

"You shall see in time, my dear,"

I felt something cold clasp around my body. My feet left the ground suddenly. I looked around me trying to figure out why I was suddenly air borne. And what had wrapped around me that was so cold?

"You don't need to struggle,"

Struggle? What was he talking about? Something rubbed my back. I tensed realizing what was going on. Megatron had lifted me up. Now I was in his hands and at his mercy. I hope he doesn't know I'm afraid of heights too, I thought.

"Astrid, I'm going to fix you,"

"Fix me?"

"You're broken,"

"No, you're wrong, I'm fine,"

"My dear, I am never wrong,"

I froze inside myself. What force, what power he had. Megatron, his name, his voice, everything about him gave me a bad vibe. He must be evil.

"You passed out coming through the dimension gate, Astrid,…I need you to return to that slumber,"

"Why?"

"I don't want you to feel the pain while I fix you,"

"What are you going to do to me?" I panicked, "If I fall asleep will I ever wake up again?"

"You will live to see the light of day. Now you must do as I say,"

He continued rubbing my back with his finger. I tried to fight off the drowsiness that was slowly consuming me. I was winning until Megatron softly sang a sickly sweet lullaby.

"The devils angels whisper this song,

Heaven weeps at the sense of right or wrong,

Dark inside you are soon to be

When you wake you'll have a new body,"

The familiar darkness returned to me as I fell into a deep sleep. For a long time I was at peace. I felt no pain or fear, no longing for what I once had. My breathing was a steady rhythm until it stopped all together.

Several hours later I awoke still in the darkness. I was not standing; I lay flat on my back looking upwards. There were no stars, no sky. I was inside somewhere, somewhere far away from home.

"Arise Astrid,"

Slowly I stood. Something didn't feel right, and it was me. I looked at myself and felt a scream escape from my throat.

"I'm a giant, metal robot, why…why did you do this to me?"

"I fixed you Astrid. You are no longer weak,"

"I don't understand what you're trying to do,"

I looked around for him, but I couldn't find him. The darkness blinded my eyes so I couldn't see him, I could hardly see myself. Megatron is here somewhere. His voice thundered behind me and I whirled around.

"You don't need to understand, not now anyway,"

I reached out my metal hand trying to feel for him in the darkness. I didn't feel him anywhere, I only felt air. I knew he was close to me, if only I could figure out where. Tears of anger and fear formed in my eyes.

"Don't cry," he whispered.

"Megatron, where are you?" I shouted frustrated.

A hand found mine in the dark.
