Once I got settled into my quarters, I went to find some paint. First I went to Ratchet asking him, and lucky me, he had some. After getting the different shades I wanted, I began my little trip back to my quarters.

Standing in the middle of the dull grey room, I began brainstorming, as the humans say, so figure out what I'm going to paint onto the walls. Knowing one important thing that I'm not going to do; not paint the walls with anything bright. As in no sunsets or anything that will make the room painfully bright, I'm not much into bright things, after all I grew up in a world of darkness, and plus bright colors usually mean the good emotions, something I do not have. All of my emotions are negative, the only good emotion I have is hope, but even that is almost to the point of nonexistence.

After standing for about 30 breems thinking of what to paint, I discover what I'm going to paint. Starting out with the base coat of paint, I put it on all the walls, but the ceiling and floor, I'm saving those for something else. After 4 joors of nonstop painting, I'm finished with the walls. I look around and let a small smile reach my face, the walls are tinted with blues, browns, blacks, and whites. All of the colors forming a forest of darkness, lit up by the 'moon'. Sitting down onto the floor, I grab the other cans of paint, that I have laid out for the ceiling, reaching into my subspace, I grab the glow crystals I acquired from Cybertron. Crushing them up into powdery substances, I pour a little bit in each can of paint I have laid before me. Getting up I allow the crystals to take time and dissolve into the paint, leaving my quarters, I go to Ratchet again, to acquired something I can use as a latter of sorts.

Ratchet, upon seeing me questioned about why my frame was covered in paint, I answered him simply, before asking him about using something as a latter. And surprisingly had had a Cybertronian sized one, well that makes my job easier.

While walking with the latter in my servos, I run into Sideswipe

"Any particular reason why your covered in paint?" He asks with a chuckle

"Painting." I say simply with a shrug.

His optics brighten.

"Can I see?" He asks excitedly.

"When I'm done you may." And for the first time I let out a small chuckle, surprising the pit out of me.

Sideswipe takes no notice, and leaves me to finish up my room, so he can see it. Entering my room, again, I set the latter in the spot I'm going to paint first. Grabbing the first bucket of paint, I stir it around making sure the glow crystals are fully dissolved. Once I'm satisfied with the paint, I go back to work.

After another 5 joors of painting, the ceiling, walls, and floor are completely finished. Turning out the lights, the room glows, the forest looks to be almost real, with the moon I painted onto the ceiling glowing as if it were the real thing. The floor had hits of where the 'Moon' was glowing onto the 'forest' floor. A full-blown smile reaches my covered face, the glowing red markings making red tints collide with the blues, purples, and what other colors I have to make up my dark forest. I sit on my berth and look up at the ceiling, where the 'moon' and 'stars' glow beautifully, making me feel a sense of peace.

Deciding to let Sideswipe know of my finishing, I walk next door to his and Sunstreaker's quarters. Knocking, I hear a 'come in' before entering, looking around I notice that the lay out of their room is the opposite of mine, bright and sunny, go figure.

"Did you finish?!" Sides asks excitedly

"Affirmative." I nod.

"Finish what?" Sunstreaker asks curiously.

"Blood said she was painting her room, and I asked if I could see it when she was done. And now it's done." He says.

Sunstreaker's optics brighten up in intrest.

"Would you mind if I looked?" He asks

"Go ahead." I shrug.

Walking out of their quarters with them on my tail, we walk into my newly painted quarters. I hear a gasp of awe.

"You..you painted this?!" Sides asks in amazement.

"Yes." I say simply.

"It's beautiful." I hear Sunstreaker speaks up.

"Now you know its good, when Sunny here compliments you, and he doesn't compliment anyone." Sides chuckles, getting a glare from his brother.

"Watch this." I say, before turning out the lights, the room begins to give of the lunar like glow from the 'Moon'.

"How….how did you do this?" Sunstreaker asks in painter mode.

"Glow crystals." I say simply, before grabbing some from subspace.

holding my closed servo out to him, he opens his up, I drop five crystals into his hands.

"Here you can have these, it only takes a small portion of glow crystal to light up a whole bucket of paint." I say.

"Thank you." He says.

I nod before sitting down unto the floor, the twins follow suit.

"So Blood do you want to tell us a little about yourself?" Sideswipe asks

"Not much to tell really." I say with a shrug.

"Surely you have something to tell about yourself?" He asks

"Well my carrier's name was Night-burst, I do not know of my creator, but from what carrier says I look similar to him, mainly it's my crest, and the way I hold myself." I say

"My original frame color was midnight blue, and my real name is Nightwave." I continue

"Why did you change your name?" Sideswipe asks.

I pause, thinking if I should share this or not, before finally giving in.

"A vorns ago, I was stealing energon from the Decepticons, when I was caught. The mech that caught me was Shockwave…" At this they tense.

"He seemed to know who I was, how I don't know, but once I was in his possession, he experimented on me, tortured me. Four or five vorns I was stuck in his possession, the whole time I was tortured, he would mockingly and sadistically sing out my name as he cut me open, and patched me up, only to cut me open again. After meeting him I began to hate my name, the name my carrier gave me, a name he tainted as soon as it left his lip-plates." I growl.

"Eventually I escaped, as you can tell, but not before making sure he suffered. Once I escaped from my cell, I killed every single Decepticon I came across, before finally finding him, I fought him, I managed to do a number on him, before he finally was able to wound me. A managed to get a nasty gash on my stomach and face, but not before I was able to bust his optic." I says darkly.

"Is that why you where your visor and facemask all the time?" Sideswipe asks.

"No, I where them to hide my emotions, Cybertron got worse after everybot left, because the only ones left where the rogues and Cons, the place was survival of the fittest, the slightest weakness, the slightest hesitance could get you killed. And with being most likely the last femme on Cybertron, I had mechs after me all the time, with only one thing in mind, a forced spark bond." I say

"I never realized Cybertron had gotten to that point." Sideswipe says.

We sit in a silence before Sideswipe breaks it.

"Do you miss Cybertron, Blood?" Sideswipe asks.

"True fully, no, unlike you, I never saw Cybertron in its prime, I never saw the outside world without fearing of getting killed, I was a sparkling born in war, that's all I know, war, darkness, and pain." I say my red markings brightening a fraction.

I feel a servo pull me closer into an embrace, or more like two embraces.

"Then would you let us show you, that there are more things in the universe than just negativity?" Sideswipe says in my audio, making me suppress a shiver.

"Alright." I say.

"Is it alright if we call you by your true designation?" They both ask softly.

"Very well, but only you two, it's going to take some getting used to for me." I say

"Nightwave." Sunstreaker says testing the name.

I suppress yet another shiver at the way he says my name, the way it smoothly rolls off his glossa. I feel One of the twins servos move a fraction, adjusting their hold, when one of them feel the roughness on my shoulders, causing them to pause. Before I could stop them they see my back, the two huge scars running down my armor, where my wings used to be.

"What happened?" Sideswipe asks seriously.

"Shockwave." I whisper

"What did he do to make a scar this bad?!" Sunstreaker questions.

"Look at the scars longer, picture something there, that is not on there." I say, they both take sharp intakes of air.

"W..wings?" They whisper

I nod.

"But how? How have you not lost your sanity? Most seekers when they lose their wings and survive they go insane?!" Sideswipe questions.

"Who said I was sane?" I let out a harsh chuckle.

"I'm just really good at hiding the fact I lost my sanity, besides my sanity was long gone before then anyways." I say with a dark tone.

"What do you mean?" They ask

"I don't want to talk about it." I say.

"We understand, but if you ever want to talk, do not hesitate to do so." Sunstreaker says.

"One question, why is it that your red designing's glow?" Sideswipe asks curiously.

"I'm not quite sure, I inherited it from carrier, she had the same thing, only hers where purple." I say.

"You said your frame was dark blue, why aren't the designs blue?" Sunstreaker asks

"I managed to figure out a way to change the color, though I wasn't easy." I chuckle.

"So why the name Blood-spill?" They both ask.

"I was what I was good at." I state.

"Spilling the energon, of those who got in my way of survival." I say

They say nothing, Sideswipe picks me up and sets me in his lap, my legs get pulled into Sunstreaker's lap. I choose to say nothing, just enjoying the new emotions flowing through me, and for once good emotions.

Safety

Peace

Acceptance

And most of all, the feeling of feeling…..Loved
