The Past
Wheeljack left today. Good riddance, I thought. I had had enough of him. The weather is getting cold. I know because the little humans are wearing thicker and warmer clothing. The autobots don't trust me, no big deal, after all, I am a decepticon. Starscream seems to be afraid of them, even though he diminished many autobot sparks. Which doesn't make any sense to me. I sat in my quarters, sulking as usual. Since I have nowhere to go, cooped up in an even smaller space than the ship.
As I sulked, Optimus came into my room. "What?" I asked grumpily. "I want to talk to you," he replied. "Fine, what is it?" I asked. "It has been a long time since I've seen you. You have a twin called Bladedancer, am I right?" Optimus asked. "Yes," I replied. "What happened to her, I thought you two never go anywhere without each other," stated Optimus. "I sneaked out, isn't that obvious," I grumbled. "I see, you seem different, not the optimistic little sparkling I used to know," he pointed out. "That little sparkling you know is gone, now can you leave?" I replied. "If you want to gain the trust of my team, I suggest you tell them the truth," Optimus said, he stood up. "Why don't you tell them," I shot back. "This is your secret, so it is your choice to whether tell or not to tell. It is not up to me," replied Optimus, then he left the room. Once he left, I curled up on the ground and fell asleep.
"Come on Blue! I bet you can't catch me!" said sparkling Bladedancer laughing. "I can get you! Just you wait and see!" I replied giggling. "Race you to our house then!" Bladedancer challenged. "You're on Blade!" I replied. Then the two of us raced off towards our house. Once we got there, mother was waiting for us. She waved and smiled at us, we ran into her open arms. Giggling as we hugged our mother. "That was fun," stated Bladedancer. I nodded. Then our mother led us into our house.
Bladedancer and I were waiting. Waiting for father to home. As we stared at the door, mother gave us a cube of energon each. "Eat up my little ones," she said. We smiled and munched away on our snack. The door opened, father came in. "You're home! You're home!" my sister and I cheered. Then we jumped into our father's arms. "Omph! How are my little femmes?" father asked, then he spun us around. Bladedancer and I laughed with joy. Once father finished spinning us mother came over and asked, "How did it go Megatron?" she asked. "Everything is fine Amethyst," he replied smiling down at my sister and I. We beamed back. "It's time to rest little ones," father said. "Aww… can't we stay up later?" Bladedancer pleaded. Father and mother exchanged a glance, a look I knew too well. I hooked my sister's arm in mine and said, "We're really tired from our race, right Blade?" I gave her a nudge. She fake yawns and said, "Oh yeah, I feel really tired." Then we left the room.
Later that night, the two of us would hold our ears to our bedroom door. We listen to what mother and father say to each other. "I fear that the war has breached the borders, it's not safe for you to live here anymore," father said with a sigh. "But… where will we go?" asked mother. Worry tightened her voice. My sister and I exchange glances. The war is nearer than what our parents told us. Danger is coming closer and faster. "What will we do?" asked Bladedancer asked. "We fight," I replied. "But how-""Shh…" I hushed my sister. We listened intently. "The autobots have camped 6 kilometers north from here," said father. "That is so close, we will have to move," mother whispered. Bladedancer and I locked eyes. I nodded. Bladedancer gave a nervous smile and a thumbs-up. That night, we left to sabotage the campsite.
"There are enemy bots over here!" yelled an autobot. I shot a fireball at him, silencing him forever. But, it was too late, the alarm is raised. "RUN!" I yelled as I ran hand in hand with Bladedancer. We ran as fast as our short legs could carry us. We ran towards home, where it was a safe haven for us all those years, it was the biggest mistake of my life. We reached home, along with our pursuers. "What in the name of Primus?!" yelled mother. We ran past our mother and hid behind her. Father had left early. There was only mother against twelve bots.
"Run to safety, go find father," ordered mother. "NO!" Bladedancer and I replied in unison. "Leave NOW!" she yelled at us, her servos lit with purple light. My sister and I cringed but we stood our ground. "We're not leaving you behind!" Bladedancer replied. Then my sister and I got into a defense stance.
We battled hard. Soon there was only one bot. He was really skilled, no matter how good our aim was, he was able to avoid it all. Before I knew what was happening, the bot was standing right in front of me with his sword raised. He brought it down, I shut my eyes and waited for the pain to come. But it never came. I opened my eyes, my mother took the blow for me. She was dying. Bladedancer screamed. A dry sob escaped from me. But sadness was quickly replaced with white hot anger. A dark shadow surrounded me, I turned to face the bot. I hit him with a blast of darkness.
I was about to diminish his spark, when mother whispered, "Let him live." I froze, the shadow faded away. Th bot ran off. I raced over to Bladedancer who knelt next to our dying mother. I started to cry, so did Bladedancer. "Don't cry for me, my little ones. I'll alwaysbe with you. Go find your father," she whispered weakly. Then she left for the AllSpark.
"NOOO!" I yelled, my eyes popping open. I sat up, to find myself in my room. "What?!" I asked bewildered. "Are you alright?" asked Starscream. I looked at him. I shook my head to clear away the remains of the recollection and replied, "I'm fine." "Are you sure?" he asked. Starscream walked over and sat down next to me. "It's just a nightmare," I whispered. Starscream put a hand around me, I curled up against him, but the vision of my dead mother remains in my head. Forever haunting me…
