Chapter 17: Fields of Innocence.
I woke up in blackness. There was nothing around me except for this blackness. Nothing but darkness and evil. "Where am I?" I asked as I tried to sit up, or something like that but felt invisible bonds hold my body down.
"Now, now. Don't try to escape. Cause you will never be able to escape. You'll-" Sideways' voice resounded in the void.
"I get the damn frikin point, Sideways." I say coldly as he appears infront of me. "Now, answer my question. Where am I?"
Sideways looked at me with those pink, bunny like eyes of his. "You are in space." He said casually.
I looked around and nodded. "Really? I would have thought that there would be more bright sparkly things, like, um. . . Stars?" I say sarcastically as he glared at me and grabbed me, slowly squeezing me.
"Don't be cocky with me, Wanderer. Or you'll pay for your insolence." He said as I closed my eyes and realized I wore a space-suit. A smirk grew on my face.
"Pay for my insolence? You need me remember?" I said coyly as he let go of me as three figures appeared behind me.
"What are you doing? The Master said not to hurt her!" Vortex called out as a deep hearty voice chuckled around the large void.
"She is right Sideways. That is if you don't want to be first on my list." Came the same deep voice, the same once that has been haunting my dreams for what felt like a millennia.
Wires flung up from out of the darkness and enveloped my body, inserting itself into my skin as if I too were a metallic being from outer-space. I screamed and cried out in shock, it hurt so much. As suddenly as the attack had begun, it stopped and the wires were quickly wrenched out of my body and I hung limp in my invisible bonds, the wounds where the wires had punch through seemed to fuse together and look like they had never been touched.
I heard a howl of anger tear from the darkness and I knew that the reason for the howl was not good. "She's got too much goodness still inside of her!" I heard it yell as I blacked out, the pain becoming too much.
Sideways knelt down infront of the pouched in the heart of the planet that was actually Unicron. "We need to do something to make her hate everything that she loves. We need her to turn against Megatron and especially her mother that is with her now." Unicron's deep voice said as light pulsed from the pouch every time he spoke.
"I know master. Maybe if I go into her dreams and-" Sideways started but then stopped when he heard a distinct female chuckle.
"Yeah right Sideways. Do that and you'll screw the whole thing up. I think it best if a Femme would do this, Master. I think that Sideways has interfered too much." Nemisis said as she appeared out of the darkness.
"Hmm. I have to agree with Nemisis. But I think that I should do it. I know how it shall be done. Sideways, Nemisis, you are dismissed." Unicron said as Sideways bowed and stood to leave. Turning around and walking passed Nemisis, he whispered a single message to her. "You have feelings for the girl. Don't let that get in the way of your job." He sneered as Nemisis looked at him in utter shock.
'As if.' Nemisis thought to herself as she too turned and left, leaving Unicron to his thoughts.
Once I'm finish with those four insolent minions of mine, they will be no use to me. They will be the first to go. Yes, the perfect plan for revenge. . .
I sat on my old bed back home. My real home. I peered out the window. It was dark out and I remembered this day as my ninth birthday, the utmost saddest and coldest day of my life.
I was like a witness to a crime. I watched as my younger self dove around with a large grin on her face, her eyes sparkling with excitement of what present she was to get next. My mum came in and placed the medium birthday cake infront of me. "Happy Birthday Kris!" she said excitedly as I blew out my candles, my younger sister cheering me on and whooping with joy as I hugged her and thanked her for her present; a little teddy bear holding a picture frame.
Suddenly my face fell and I looked at the clock. "When is daddy coming home?" my younger self said as my mums face seemed to shadow and she looked away.
"I don't know. He should be here by now. Oh, well. He might be doing some over-time." She said as she smiled at me and I smiled back. After the three of us finished eating our cake, we headed into my mum and dads room to watch a movie that I had picked out; obviously it had been the Transformers Movie.
Half way through the movie though, at eleven passed elven in the night exactly, the phone rang. I will never forget the look on my mothers face, or the fight that issued after that.
Thankfully my sister was asleep and was a heavy sleeper. It was about the time when Magnus got blown up or something, I don't know I can't remember it that well, everything was abit blurry and shapeless. I got out of the bed and headed to the dining room to see what was taking her so long with the phone call.
I reached the door and heard a heated argument through the door.
"You lying son of a bitch! How dare you do this! How dare you do this to Kris! How dare you do this on her birthday for gods fucking sake! Don't you tell me to calm down!" I heard my mum distinctly yell and I knew something was wrong. But I watched with a heavy heart as I stood there, rooted to the spot, anger, fear and a whole pile of other damn emotions running through me.
"Why didn't you just ask for a divorce? Why did you have to run away with Barbara! Why didn't you just tell me that you didn't love me?. . . Oh. Is that why? You were afraid that I would do something irrational?. . . Oh I see. . . You bastard. . . Die in hell! You and your little whore!" my mum yelled as I could hear the phone slam down on its hook and a heavy weigh flop onto the floor.
The memory seemed to vanish before me and I was in my subconscious, floating around and wait. . . . For what? Waiting.
For what god damnit! I yelled mentally at myself as I too fell like a sack of potatoes and sobbed, all those emotion that I had held in bursting like a dam. A figure suddenly appeared infront of me and I looked up through my tears. It was Megatron with my mother on his shoulder.
"It was your fault Kris. It was all your fault that your father left." My mother sneered as I stood up an emotional wreck.
"No. No, it wasn't me that made him go. I didn't make him go!" I moaned as more tears surfaced and blurred my vision.
"Face facts Kris. You made your father go. Just admit it and we'll leave you alone." Megatron said this time as I stared up at him. "The only reason why you're with the Decepticons is because no body loves you. No one thinks of you as a person, but mearly a toy to be played with. Just give up and face the facts." He continued as I felt restraint on my arms and legs.
Looking down my heart plummeted and I saw another vision, only, it was mearly a window to another mind. My fathers mind.
My father was sitting with two little girls bouncing on his knee and that damned bitch Barbara around a Christmas tree, opening their presents and laughing happily. Anger fuelled through my body and I turned to Megatron and my mother. The anger fuelled what I said next and was quiet shocked when I said it too, but it brought a deep, filling satisfaction in my soul. "Screw you both to hell."
The two disappeared but the anger still burned strong and true. This is what I wanted. I wanted to be free but still inflict pain upon the people that inflicted pain upon me. And at that moment I didn't care if that meant blowing up the whole world to do it.
The next moment I knew, the wires were back and inserting themselves in my body. I felt no more pain, but in the back of my heart a painful ache. I didn't scream this time, I didn't cry, all I did was laugh manically until I was lost to the universe, my soul finally finding peace.
