Her Guardain
You're Safe Now
Ok I had to get this out here! I couldn't wait myself to get it written, so here is Chapter 10!
Oh and I want to thank PrimeEmily135 for pointing out a mistake that I made, in chapter 2 I said Megatrons father died of Cosmic rust and Chapter 9 I said he died in the Pits, so excuse my flakey brain, it does this to me a lot, heck knows all my stories have it! So Thank You for telling me and I have fixed it all for you in this chap!
Warning: This chapter does contain blood and gore, not much but just sayin.
Cold, Freezing, Freezing cold. AnnaBeth shivered in her spot on the frozen cement floor. Her feet felt as if they were about to fall off and she couldn't stop shaking like a scared cat. Her stomach let out an unearthly growl and she curled up trying to mute the sound feeling that she would get tin trouble for it, she had already been through enough torture from yesterdays mouthing off. Blinds were peeled back and she shielded her eyes at the sudden light.
"Time to get up Princess." It was the man, she squinted her eyes open and groaned, she didn't like the light but it was warmer than what she had felt previously.
"Is my uncle paying you today?" She asked trying to sit up, but the pain in her body was screaming at her to lie back down.
"Nope, but I'm not treating you like royalty and allowing you to sleep in."
"Royalty? The only thing royal about how you treat me is what you call me." He glared at her and shoved her to her feet with his hand. "Please, not so hard." She said feeling the surge of pain.
"Whatever, I don't abide by you and your 'Respectfulness'." she tried to roll her eyes, she says one thing once and they never let it down.
"Where are you taking me?" She asked as he rudely dragged her out the room and through a hallway.
"Your new accommodations." She was brought into a room that contained only one piece of furniture, a chair, and not just a chair, an electric chair.
"What the heck is this for?" She screeched surprised when she was forced to sit down on it and her hands and feet were clasped to it.
"Failsafe... Anyone walks past that line when we don't permit it and ZZTT." She gulped and nodded getting the picture when he drew his finger across his neck. After a few seconds of making sure the metal around her wrists was tight enough he walked out leaving her alone again. It was silent, except for the small buzzing that came from the electricity box that connected to the chair she was in.
Her heart was heavy, knowing that Megatron wasn't coming, or else he would of been there for her already. In fact for her, there was no use in trying to get free, she was bound by metal and if she even tried one thing out of line they would zap fry her like a bug. AnnaBeth felt her eyes getting heavy and knew that she couldn't fight it, she closed her eyes seeping back into darkness.
Megatron growled and hit yet another tree leaving his fist printed into it. He had been searching all day, all night, and all morning for the building and had found not even a sign of human life, just some wild animals that would scurry right through him. He looked up from his leaning position and saw it, saw his chance. A glint of metal in the sun moving pretty fast, and that could only mean one thing. It was a car. He trekked through the dense forest and saw that it was an old car, not taken care of, but it was being driven by a boy in his young adult years. He sighed and shut his optics, too young. But? What would a person who seemed like a nobody be driving out here in the woods, there was no party, he would of hear it, he wasn't going with a girl, since he was the only one in the car, so that could mean. Megatron watched the car make a sharp turn and drive through a thick of trees and bushes without crashing. He walked over, curious as to how the human did that. He swiped his hand across the same area and found that it was only strings of camouflage.
"Clever Humans." He walked through the cut up tarp and found himself inside a building. Small, secluded but enough to hold a small family. He looked around and saw the same boy in a kitchen like area talking to a person who seemed to be his mother.
"Got the stuff... Now can we have dinner." The boy said licking his lips.
"I haven't made it yet, keep your britches on." The woman replied turning away from him and he stuck his tongue out at her. A man walked in seconds later slapping his hands together. "Well, she wasn't dead was she?" Megatron froze for a second at the question.
"No." The man replied and Megatron shut his optics letting out a relieved sigh. "But she looks pretty bad from yesterday... You really did a number on her Liam."
"She said I was disrespectful... I wanted to teach her a lesson."
"Well you did, she's got a nasty gash near her eye." The boy names Liam folded his arms and smirked. "I taught you well." Megatron hadn't noticed but he was clenching his fists so tight that his metal was getting tighter around them.
"Where'd you put her?" The woman asked cutting up a couple carrots.
"In the electric room, motioned censored, no one can get in our out without my permission code.
"So if I walk through it now I could kill her right now?" The boy asked smiling devilishly. Megatron had heard enough to sustain him for a lifetime, he marched into the room and past the man making sure he could feel him a bit. He was going to make them pay, but not without AnnaBeth watching it, she needed to see that no one gets away with what they want. He stopped in mid track and blinked. He just explained himself, he died and never finished his mission of becoming ruler of both Earth and Cybertron, he shook the thought from his mind and walked down to a room that contained a heavy door and a sign that read.
ELECTRIC ROOM
A small unnoticeable smile formed on his face and he walked through the wall next to it not wanting to take the chance of the censors detecting him.
He blinked a few times to get used to the pitch blackness, after a few moments he looked to the center of the room and found a body leaning forwards against the chair and he immediately knew who it was. He ripped the metal cuffs off with one pull and cut through the wires like his hands were scissors. Her body fully fell forward and he caught her before she landed onto the hard floor. Her body was frozen but she was shallowing breathing, telling him that she was still alive. Her head fell back in his arms and he noticed the gash the man was talking about, it wasn't to big or deep, but showed immense anger was the cause of it. Megatron situated his arms so that her head was resting against his spark, she needed warmth and that was the best he could give her at the moment.
"You're safe now." He said to her trying to force back all the emotions that came running towards him, sorrow, sympathy, sadness... Love? He shook away the thoughts and walked out of the horrid room. He contemplated on just walking out and forgetting about her captors, but when he finally got a good look at her in the light he could see all the damage that was done to her. Scrapes, Bruises, gashes, punctures, wounds of all sorts. He clenched his fists and let his anger override him. The angered mech stomped into the main room where her three kidnappers were and glared at them and their shocked expression of their cash bringer just floating in mid air. He carefully set her down on the cushioned couch and threw the down comforter around her not caring how it looked. He then gave a death glare to the three and charged over to them so fast he didn't even notice he had thrown a punch to the man until he flew across the room and hit the cement wall.
"DAD!" Liam yelled running over to him, but Megatron grabbed his arm and flipped him around.
"I don't think so!" He threw a hard punch to the boy and he landed on the ground sporting a new broken and bloody nose.
"How dare you touch my son You, you... Whatever you are." He paused for a moment. "Wherever to are." Megatron smirked and jabbed the man in the gut and then threw an upward punch to his face. When the man was down he charged up his cannon and got ready to fire, but halfway through his fusion cannon charged down, he tried again but got the same result.
"My cannons... THEY DON'T WORK!" He yelled in a question like tone. "You give me ghostly abilities but the one thing you take away is my cannon?" He thought back to the time he turned his cannon on AnnaBeth, he wouldn't of been able to kill her then, just like he wasn't able to with the man. "Who cares, I can just crush your throat." He grabbed the mans throat and dragged him over to the woman and proceeded to grab hers as well. He heard light footsteps coming towards him and caught Liam out of his perephrial running with a knife towards him. He kicked the boy in the stomach and pushed his pede on top of him and then dragged him over so that he could see the boys scared face. "You want to mess with an Evil and Angered WarLord?" He asked knowing that again he was flickering in and out of reality. "Well, do you?" He asked and the three shook their head letting him know that they could see him. "I guess today isn't exactly your lucky day then, because you've managed to make me furious!"
"Please don't kill us."
"You tell me how dare I touch your son. Well now I'm telling you, how dare you touch my AnnaBeth... You will all pay dearly for messing with her." He tightened his grasp with his fists and pushed his pede down harder. He could kill them, make it like they never were, granted there would be a mess, but he wouldn't have to be the one cleaning it up.
"Megatron." All four turned their heads to see AnnaBeth sitting up the best she could on the couch.
"I'm almost finished." He replied looking back to the three.
"I-I want to leave." He looked at her again and all his anger melted away, and it was replaced with sorrow. He looked to the man and glared, he could snap his neck in a matter of seconds, why would he stop now? He squeezed tighter and could feel the mans airways getting stricter.
"Please." He could tell just talking was painful for her, so he pushed himself to do the second best. In a fast uproar he slashed the mans throat just enough to where he could never speak again, he then proceeded to detach one of the woman's feet and one of the boys hands.
"Never shall you speak, never shall you walk upon those who have never done a thing to you, and never shall you use your hand for evil." He walked back to AnnaBeth and picked her up with the down comforter. "Ever mess with her or me again and I will NOT hesitate to end all your puny lives." He then walked through the wall and left the three kidnappers to wallow in their pain.
When they were a considerable amount away from the building that Megatron had managed to uncover, he set AnnaBeth down with the Blanket wrapped around her.
"Are you alright?" He asked knowing that it was a dumb question.
"I..hurt." was her only reply.
"I know, I'll get you to the nearest hospital."
"No!" He looked at her when she said that. "My uncle will come and I'll have to explain to him why I ran away and... How... I can't exactly tell him you helped me."
"Does it look like I care what your uncle will ask... You're in pain and I intend to make sure your not severely hurt." He turned around and shut his optics trying to push away his anger.
"Why?" She asked and he looked back at her with question. "Why have you been saving me all this time, protecting me, even thought you hate me?"
"It's my job."
"Your, job?"
"All you need to know is that I was sent her to watch over you, alright. Now, no more questions."
"But I just asked one." He didn't answer and silence swept over them. "I can't take the silence."
"What?"
"Last night and in that room there was nothing but silence, I can't take it." She looked away and sighed. "Please tell me a story, tell me about your parents." He squeezed his optics shut feeling like she had stuck a nerve. His parents were a touchy subject and he avoided the conversation when he could. "Please, I told you about mine." Megatron turned around so that he was fully facing her and she tried to sit up.
"If I'm going to tell you a story, you're going to lie down." She did so and he took in a deep breath. "It's a sad one, but... My Carrier and Sire were very much in love, but our family was poor, small, consisting of only them and me as their only Sparkling. My father fought in the Pits of Kaon, a hard place but it was enough to sustain us for what little we had. One day my mother had been baking with our energon, trying to create a cake that would celebrate my Sire's 10th win in a row. But it was never to be." He looked down to her hoping she was asleep but she was wide awake and listening intently. "There was a short but heavy knock on the door, being the defiant sparkling that I was not ever listening to my carrier about opening doors, I opened it to reveal a messenger from the pits. He had sorrow etched onto his face and when my carrier walked in she immediately knew what he did not want to say. He left after giving up a piece of his armor and she stayed up the whole night trying to explain what had happened." He took in a deep breath believing that he could get around the part he hated most.
"What happened?" AnnaBeth asked looking at him with curiosity.
"He died."
"I kinda guessed that, but how." He let out a sigh and looked to her.
"Of a cosmic rust gun, very rare and very hard to get ahold of, since only one scientist had found a way to store cosmic rust into a gun and keep it there until ready to be used."
"Is cosmic rust some kind of illness, like malaria."
"Worse, there was and is not cure... The mech had gotten ahold of the gun and used it on my sire, making him die of both getting shot and cosmic rust."
"I'm so sorry."
"You asked, I answered."
"Hey that's my line." She said smiling at him.
"You never claimed it." He slightly joked back.
"You say it, you claim it."
"I have never heard that."
"Well, neither have all the other people I talked to, but it's what I say."
"You humans."
"You cybertronians."
"Get to sleep AnnaBeth." She looked at him shocked and he raised a brow at her. "What?"
"Yo-you called me AnnaBeth, you only ever call me human."
"Well" He cleared his throat. "It must've slipped, now get to bed human before I knock you out myself." AnnaBeth laid down on the grass and let a smile pass her lips, she knew something was changing in him and she was going to find out.
Megatron stood at the edge of the dark forest, to where he could see AnnaBeth but also look out for anyone who wished to take her again. Had he really told her his back story of his sire, he never told anyone that, the least he would do is say his father died fighting and the fight was intense, when in reality he had died by being cheated. He looked into the darkness that seemed eternal and shut his optics.
"Why? Why are you allowing me to do this. Why are you allowing me to fall in love with her. Why, when I was the one who killed her parent's, I don't deserve her, she deserves someone better, not. me." He whispered letting his words be carried off into the wind, when he opened his optics AnnaBeth was still there and sound asleep, or so he thought.
AnnaBeth had heard every single word, from him loving her to him confessing that he had killed her family, she now knew why he was protecting her, it was because he didn't want to be found out, he was just keeping her safe to save himself. She let tears slip past her eyes as darkness once again encased her.
What shall happen next? Seriously I'm still trying to figure that out myself! Haha.
I really hope you liked this chap, I put some intense scenes in there, with the Kidnappers, for anyone who wanted to see their butts kicked and handed to them.
