Chapter 9

Love the Color of Purple

Anna sat outside of the seeker base, in a clearing to the left of the airstrip, enjoying the light, warm air. She gazed up at the sun that was starting to set and had to squint her eyes, it had been a while since she had been out in its direct brightness. She watched as the three cone head Seekers traded shots, demolishing some nearby trees with their blasts. She admired their precision and the force of their weaponry as she examined their target practice. Anna suddenly stood from where she was sitting and slowly approached the seekers, determined to get a better view.

"Just can't stay away can you?" Ramjet teased as he aimed to take another shot.

"Maybe I can't," Anna said stubbornly.

"Starscream finally let you out to play," Ramjet mocked.

"I asked to come out," said Anna.

"You wouldn't be out here if the Commander didn't want you to be," Ramjet said bluntly. "What you ask for means nothing," he said as he blasted another round off.

"Ramjet, you are hitting my targets," Thrust remarked as he fired several shots.

"My mistake," Ramjet replied. "Maybe if you would hit them, I wouldn't have to."

"The two of you should stop arguing and start focusing," Dirge told them as he took his turn at firing a shot.

"What type of energy blast is that?" Anna asked.

"Are you speaking to me human?" Dirge questioned her.

"Yes, I'm just curious," Anna said defensively.

"Maybe she was speaking to me," Ramjet interrupted. "I'd be happy to show her my guns." With that remark, Ramjet picked Anna up in his grasp, positioning her in a closer view to the cannon on his right arm.

Anna squirmed in Ramjet's grasp, a bit frightened that he had lifted her off the ground.

"Oh, it's ok; I'm not really going to hurt you. I'm a bit rough around the edges, but I wouldn't hurt a little thing like you, it would be a waste of firepower."

"I'll have nothing to do with this Ramjet," said Thrust. "If Starscream saw this there is no telling how he would react."

"I'm just showing her my cannon like she wanted," Ramjet responded.

"It is nice," Anna said relaxing a little.

"You think so huh," Ramjet said with a hint of sarcasm still in his tone. "That's what you do now isn't it, design weapons?"

"That's right," Anna replied.

"Femmes don't belong in battle, especially not your size," Ramjet remarked.

"If you were a human male, I'd say you were sexist, why do you think that way about females?" Anna questioned. "By the way, I'm not actually in battle; I just design the weaponry."

"Well that makes it all better now doesn't it," Ramjet joked.

"There are Decepticon femmes more ferocious than some mechs," Thrust reminded Ramjet.

"It has cooled down now,' Ramjet told Anna, ignoring Thrust. "Want to touch it?"

"I don't know……," Anna said.

"Oh come on, I won't bite," Ramjet nearly purred.

"Ok," Anna said, immediately wishing she had not said yes.

Anna ran her tiny fingers along the massive barrel of Ramjet's plasma cannon as he watched her reaction grinning. He slightly enjoyed the feel of her hand on him and was suddenly starting to understand why Starscream enjoyed having her around.

"That's impressive," Anna told him in a near whisper.

"Yes, it is," Ramjet replied, "enough firepower to level the entire side of that cliff over there," he said, taking aim.

"Oh, my," Anna fidgeted. "I don't need a demonstration this close up."

Ramjet laughed loudly and so did the other two seekers. Anna suddenly felt nervous at their reaction.

"May I should be getting back inside," Anna told them.

"Are you afraid of us?" Ramjet taunted.

"Yes, Ramjet," Anna admitted. "I'm afraid of you, you all scare me a little and there is no point in denying it. I didn't come out here to start a fight with you by any means, I'm sorry I disturbed you."

"You didn't disturb us," Ramjet replied more softly. "We've enjoyed our little visit with you," he said, placing her gently on the ground. "Perhaps you are right; maybe it's best if you head back inside the base," he said firmly.

Anna turned away from the seekers and tried to steady herself as she headed back toward the base, walking slowly when she really wanted to run.

"Commander, there is something we need to discuss," Thundercracker said as he approached Starscream.

"We can talk Thundercracker, but I know what you are going to ask, and the answer is no, I will not release Anna."

"Do you plan on keeping her?" Thundercracker asked, his brow raising. "Primus, you're not going to kill her are you Starscream?"

"No, I'm not going to kill her."

"Then what?" Thundercracker asked. "She'll be some kind of pet, is that it?"

"She'll be whatever I want her to be," said Starscream. "If it suits you to call her a pet, then you may use that term."

"And what if she dies, gets killed, then what?" Thundercracker asked.

Starscream put down the report he was reviewing and looked at Thundercracker directly.

"You know Sunfire's death was not your fault, don't you Thundercracker?" Starscream asked.

"Yes, I know," Thundercracker said, his optics dropping downward. "It was Skywarp's fault……..he started the fight."

"Even Skywarp, the slag that he can be sometimes, did not mean for Sunfire's death to occur," said Starscream.

"But it did," Thundercracker suddenly snapped, "and Anna's will too."

"I have made my decision Thundercracker," Starscream told him.

"What if Anna wants to leave?" Thundercracker asked.

"Why would she want to do that?" Starscream said arrogantly as he walked off past Thundercracker and exited the room.

"Oh, Commander Starscream, I'm sorry," Anna said as she nearly walked right under his foot upon entering the base.

"This is the very reason I don't let you walk around inside the base on your own," Starscream told her as he picked her up. "Did you enjoy your little venture outside?"

"Yes," Anna replied, "but its getting darker now, so I decided to come back inside."

"Yes," Starscream agreed. "Night is approaching; we will all be in recharge mode soon."

"Oh," Anna yawned. "I am getting tired myself; can I go back to my room now?"

"No," Starscream replied.

"Why," Anna asked puzzled.

"Because you will be with me in my quarters tonight," Starscream told her. "There is something I want to show you, come with me."

"What is that?" Anna asked, looking at the square, clear cube of what appeared to be liquid that Starscream was holding in his hand.

"It is called energon," Starscream responded. "It is how we live and function."

"Oh," Anna said understandingly.

"I have studied your organic makeup and believe I have formulated some that will work for you, I want you to try it." Starscream said.

"Ok," Anna said slowly. Anna took a deep breath and braced herself as she brought a small cube of the liquid to her mouth. She wondered how it would taste, would it be hot or cold, would she have a reaction to it. The thoughts made her nervous.

Slowly she took some of the liquid into her mouth and swallowed it. The liquid seemed to have no taste or temperature whatsoever at first, then got warmer as she swallowed it. When she had finished the entire cube, she sat it back down on top of the work table she was sitting on.

"The warmth that you're feeling is the energon responding to you, integrating itself into your organic makeup to strengthen and nourish you." Starscream informed her.

"Oh," Anna said softly. "Why are you doing this Commander Starscream?"

"Because it's what you want," he told her.

"Yes, it is," she admitted.

"You've left your world Anna," Starscream said, rubbing a finger gently across her cheek.

Anna closed her red optics and relaxed at Starscream's touch, she wanted it more than anything in the world. She wanted to taste the power that flowed through him again and join him in his world.

"Commander Starscream," Anna began.

"Anna," Starscream interrupted, "you are not a part of my army, there is no need to address me as Commander." he said as he continued to caress her.

"I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry about what happened today," she continued. "I know that message upset you." she said as her own hand now swept lightly over Starscream thumb.

"Megatron has hurt us all in the past," he replied simply. "I expected no less from him this time."

Anna felt Starscream's grief like it was her own and in some ways it was. She wanted to reach out to him and take that pain away as she now caressed his hand more firmly and sensually.

"Starscream," Anna said "show me what to do, show me how to touch you," she urged as she looked up at him with an innocent suggestiveness on her face.

Anna was seated on a work table level with Starscream's chest area and he said nothing as he allowed a small panel to slide open, revealing the sensitive wiring that was connected to his spark chamber.

Anna reached out instinctively and ran her fingers delicately over one of the wires, exploring curiously, causing Starscream's air intake systems to draw in air sharply.

"Harder," Starscream told her.

Anna attempted to press down as hard as she could manage on the wiring before her, but Starscream knew her tiny hands would never be strong enough to give him what he wanted. There was another way he thought.

Anna nearly gasped and backed away a little as she watched Starscream's energy manifest itself into a solid hologram. She stared at the male that now stood before her. He was attractive she thought, possibly in his late twenties, with tousled coal-black hair and optics like her own. He stood about 6'3" and wore plain black khakis and a black t-shirt. He approached her.

Anna continued to back away until she could go no further; her back was now pressed against the wall connected to the work table. Starscream continued to move toward Anna until he met her at the wall, his arms placed on either side of her preventing her escape. He looked down at her intensely and she looked up at him, her optics meeting his. Anna stared up into Starscream's optics, but this time there was no begging for her life as there had been before, this was about desire.

Starscream placed his hand on Anna's face, tracing her lips with his thumb, enjoying the feel of her breath on his fingers. Starscream said nothing as his mouth moved to hers, kissing her deeply, possessively. He took both of her wrists into his left hand and held her arms up over her head, pinning them to the wall. He restrained her firmly, but not enough to hurt her, just enough to show his strength over her. Anna was frozen in both fear and yearning. She knew what he was capable of, and that both frightened her and filled her with desire. She continued to stare at him as he removed his pants, her gaze locked onto his as she grew wet from the heat in his eyes.

Slowly, Starscream moved his right hand to unzip her pants, taking them down along with her underwear. Anna slipped out of her shoes and stepped out of her pants, effectively removing them completely. She exhaled a rasp of air as she felt Starscream's hand on her inner thigh, moving up slowly, until she was once again enraptured in the glorious pleasure he had shown her before.

Then Starscream removed his hand, much to Anna's dismay, and placed his right arm under her, pulling her up to him until her legs were wrapped around his waist. He continued to hold her as he gently entered her. She gasped and whimpered a little upon feeling him inside of her and braced herself as he began to move in a gentle, rhythmic motion. As shivers of pleasure traveled through her body, Anna relaxed herself, unwinding as she enjoyed the sensuous ride Starscream was taking her on. Starscream continued on a steady pace, groaning deeply as his own pleasure intensified and came to a peak. When Anna could take no more, she began to spasm intensely, collapsing against Starscream as he embraced her.

"Please don't go," Anna begged breathlessly. "I want to sleep with you in your arms."

"Ok," Starscream replied softly, "I'll stay with you like this, like you want."

"I don't want to lose you," Anna told him. "Tomorrow, when we go to the Hoover site, I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Nothing will happen," Starscream tried to reassure her. "Anna," he said, "I….I Lo…."

"I know," Anna replied. "I love you too."
