Author's Note: Sorry it took me so long to update. Here's my excuse…school. Oh and I just got back from seeing Happy Feet. That is the best movie ever! OO Anyway the title of this chapter is Spanish.

Chap. 10: Molestar

Later that afternoon when the minicons, Hotshot, and Astrid didn't come back, Optimus sent a search party out to look for them on the island. The search party consisted of the autobot leader, Vector Prime, Jetfire, Red Alert, and Landmine. Hotshot was quickly found and the autobot medic quickly came to his aid.

"Hotshot," he said, "Hotshot, wake up."

The beaten mech groaned and his optics flickered online, "Red Alert? What are you doing here? Where…where's Astrid?"

Optimus came up saying, "What happened here Hotshot?"

"We were attacked…by Starscream and Megatron. I tried to hold them off sir…but they were too much for me. I was trying to protect Astrid, but I only found darkness,"

"I understand," Optimus replied, "I'm assuming Megatron and Starscream took her?"

"I…I guess so,"

"Do you know where the minicons are?"

"No sir,"

Optimus sighed heavily, "Alright. Red Alert, take Hotshot back to the base for repairs. We'll keep looking for the minicons,"

"Yes sir," Red Alert answered before helping Hotshot through a space gate created by Vector Prime.

(Decepticon Base…)

Megatron set me down as soon as we arrived back. We stood there, him looking down at me, me glaring back up at him.

"Take me home,"

"This is your home Astrid,"

"Since when?"

"Since I created you,"

"You didn't create me sir,"

His optics narrowed and he crossed his arms. He didn't create me, I thought, my parents did 15 years ago.

"I want to go home to my real creators,"

"I your creator,"

"You're lying,"

"Enlighten me Astrid. Tell me how I'm lying,"

"My parents created me. You destroyed me when you turned into this…this thing!"

"Fine then, if that's what you want to believe then do so. Just listen to me when I say I recreated you, I made you something when you were nothing,"

"I've always been something Megatron. And if you refuse to believe that then do so," I said twisting his words, "You're supposed to be nothing."

"What…what do you mean?"

"It doesn't matter,"

Megatron didn't try to defend himself from my statement. He was something; we both knew that, he was a someone. A someone with great power.

"Power," I breathed, "I want power."

I gasped realizing I had said that out loud. Megatron smirked evilly. Oh no, I thought, I'm not going to hear the end of this one.

"Jealous?" he asked.

I couldn't think of anything to say. I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. Megatron's smirk turned into an evil smile. Shadows on his face made him look pure evil. For the first time I saw his teeth. He had fangs.

"Tell me why you want power,"

Once again I said nothing, I looked away instead. He made a "humph" noise. He grabbed my chin in his hand and tilted my head up so we were face to face.

"You want power because you think you're weak," he stated, "Why do you think you're weak?"

"Because, I can't…"

I didn't finish, I couldn't make myself. His other hand slid on to my shoulder.

"You can't what?" he asked still grinning.

"I…can't defeat you,"

His hand slid to my neck. Out of fear I grasped the broken fragments of his cockpit. My hands were cut by the glass and began bleeding.

"Do you want my power?"

He looked my face up and down as if studying me. I tried to pull away. He's already studied me enough. He held me where I was.

"Do you feel my power?"

"Yes," I whimpered, "Please, just let me go."

For the first time he did. I stumbled back away from him. My optics were froze on him.

He crossed his arms, "Who am I?"

I choked back my tears, "My worst nightmare."

"Don't runaway again,"

And with that he walked away. I pressed myself against a rock wall and sat hugging my knees to my chest. Tears ran down my cheeks. Suddenly I heard singing from the shadows.

"Hush little Astrid, don't you cry,

I'll silence you with this lullaby,

Megatron's not here now, don't you see,

It's time to play with me, Starscream,"

Fear began flowing through my veins this time. As I looked to the direction in which I heard the harsh, raspy song, Starscream emerged with a crooked grin on his face, I quickly got to my feet.

"Don't runaway, you must obey Megatron's orders,"

"Don't come near me, unless you're disobeying Megatron's orders,"

He chuckled, "How clever you are Astrid. Then you must know this time I am going to succeed."

"What makes you so sure?"

"I'll show you,"

"No, don't do this Starscream,"

"And why not?"

"I…I don't want this to be my…first time,"

"First…time," he sighed lustfully, "Now you are irresistible."

Unable to move away from him, I searched for my gun in my subspace pocket. My fingers grasped it and I yanked it out aiming it at him.

"Leave me alone Starscream,"

"Or what? You'll shoot me with that little toy of yours?"

"I've shot you with it once before and I'll shoot you with it once again,"

Not heeding my warning, he advanced towards me. I pulled the trigger, but he dodged my blast. And he was gone, I didn't see him anywhere. Carefully I moved forward. I looked up, but didn't see him above me. A hand slipped over my mouth suddenly. He was behind me.

"You're all mine now," he whispered into my audio receptor, "You can't escape."

I tried breaking free from him but he was too strong. I was helpless as he pinned me to the floor.

(Elsewhere in the base…)

Megatron was ready to slam heads together. He could never find his treacherous second-in-command when he needed him. Out of his blind fury he nearly collided head on with Thundercracker.

"Curse you Thundercracker, watch where you're going,"

"Uh, yes sir,"

"Have you seen Starscream anywhere?"

"Last I saw him he was mumbling something about Astrid and then left,"

"Left?"

"To find her,"

"Ah curse him to the pit! Can't he follow one damn order?"

Thundercracker watched in confusion as his leader walked away.

(Astrid's location…)

"This will all be over soon, if you do what I say,"

"Get off me," I said quietly.

"Once I'm finished with you,"

"Get off me," I said raising my voice.

"Don't shout,"

"Get off me!!" I screamed.

He put a hand over my mouth freeing up one of my arms. I would need more than one arm to free myself though. Desperately, I tried reaching for my gun. My fingertips reached it, and then the rest of my hand. Copying Hotshot's tactic I used my gun to hit Starscream. He lost his balance and I pushed him off me and stood. Before he got a chance to get up, I aimed my gun at his face. He didn't move seeing this. Megatron came in.

He looked shocked, but that look soon faded away, "I see you're getting a taste of your own medicine Starscream."

There was a moment of silence and then Starscream grabbed my gun and forced it out of my hands. He fired his own gun into my side, threw my gun at me, and then walked away.

"Are you alright?" Megatron asked.

I picked up my gun and thrust it into his hands.

"Kill me," I whispered, "Put me out of my misery now."

Author's Note: Molestar in Spanish means to bother or annoy. I liked it because it looks like a combination of "molest" and "Starscream." Anyway please review!!!
