Hi, so this is an update to the chapter. I also posted the same story on Wattpad under the same title but my username is Reptilequeen. So this is a reward for me after completing my assignments and hell for these 3 weeks! Hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 12

Open up your eyes

See the world from where I stand

Me, among the mighty

You, caged at my command

Alex thought his night was getting worse with Scarface interrupting his moment was the pinnacle of his failure to actually open up his true feelings to someone who never saw him as a killer, a psycho or a monster. Now, he was captured in an unfamiliar territory, all because Scarface couldn't leave him alone. Now, he is beginning to question his own sanity.

His eyes widened when he realised he was caged in another set of bars. Alex tried to bite the bars but they were so robust. He wouldn't even slide through the bars considering his body has put on some weight after staying with the Autobots. He was starting to become irritated and frustrated without Scarface belting out all the anger he felt inside. In fact, he always relied on the doll to manifest his anger for he can't bear to be angry but it hurts him deeply when he stored it. Now, he wished he could tear off the doll or use a technique Wheeljack taught him during their sparring match.

"Aww, a caged bird with no wings~" the voice cooed at him mockingly. Alex recognised that same voice. Alex watched as the figure approached him with a princely air about him. It was a silver-grey dragon with red eyes, black and red stripe marks on the body and face. But Alex saw his wings, so sleek and aerodynamic like the dragon himself. He guessed this one could fly faster than a falcon or eagle.

The sleek drake's eyes bore into him with glee.

"You're very quiet," the drake commented. "Trespassing unto our territory was a big mistake. I can't wait until I give those mindless drones the order to do whatever they want to you but under my command."

"W-who are you?" Alex finally swallowed the bile formed on his throat to squeak out a question. The sleek drake stared at him incredulously but then switched back to his prideful self.

"Who you might ask?" he pointed at himself with the isosceles on the tip of his tail. "I, Starscream, Seeker and master of the sky! Soon, I will be leader of this clan. If only I can get passed that-"

"Starscream!" a loud, coarse voice boomed. Alex wished he had his wings to cover his trembling frame. That voice was all too familiar. Loud steps echoed the room as a massive bulk of a figure emerged behind the gloating drake.

"M-Master!" Starscream squeaked in terror. Alex saw all that bravado and confidence he presented to him had vanish. Here, he was now a snivelling weasel cowering at the giant dragon's presence. Alex swore his voice was about to laugh at the scene but held his tongue.

"I-I did not expect you to come here! I mean, of course you can since you are-," Starscream blabbered on until the tyrant of the dragon swung his massive tail towards the Seeker's face, letting him howl in pain. This signalled him to scurry out without a moment's to lose. Alex thought he was safe until the drake, assuming the leader approached his cage.

There's no way he could fight someone like him.

Alex was so scared, he wished Scarface was back in his head to lend him confidence in standing his ground. He tried his best to look at him in the eye. The grey drake sniffed Alex and snorted.

"I know you," the drake murmured. "And I believed you know me. Or should I say saw me and my mate copulate."

Now he's in trouble! It was bad enough he was gang-raped in the asylum. Now, this drake, Megatron if he recalled, might tear out his spike before he could finally perform with Arcee. But Megatron's red eyes bore through him without blinking.

"Why don't you try breaking out?" Alex did but the cage was strong to hold him. Or maybe he was just too weak.

Megatron was now sitting in a very kingly position as he observed his prisoner carefully. Interesting that he had Autobot scent on him but he never knew Prime would recruited something so pathetic and a crippled. Fighting him or finishing him would be too easy. Still, he finds this weakling interesting. Only drake to have guts watching him and his mate having a passionate hour together.

Alex gave up and slumped down, feeling aches in his whole body. He wanted to die, to be shunt away again. He can't face Arcee or the Autobots after his dilemma and now he's going to become another's puppet. He prayed for Scarface to help him get back on his feet, channelling the mob boss' anger inside of him.

But nothing came out.

"Consider this as a punishment for whoever peeps at me or my mate" Megatron told him. His tail thumped the ground, causing a small vibration. Alex tried his best not to anger him.

"Y-you're keeping me captive?" Alex asked meekly. Megatron merely nodded.

"Until I find some uses for you. For now, you will be in this cage and you will get your rations."

"Megatron?" a low female voice called. Any male drake would shiver at that sound for it's like fine wine. The pretty white dragoness with a jewelled necklace around her neck. Megatron, Alex swore had his expression change from intimidating to loving when he gazed at her.

He can't deny that the dragoness is beautiful and noticing her enlarged belly, it would be time before she settles down to lay her eggs. Megatron gave her a quick kiss on the crown of her head before he resumed his glare towards him.

"I-I'm sorry for peeping at you….playing," Alex struggled to find the right words to not anger the tyrant. He was so terrified and so so tired. "I-I was trying to look for someone I like and see if…she confirms her feelings for me. I-I never b-been out for so long. I have been in chains and dark rooms all my life…"

Both dragon mates exchanged glances. As much as they do kill and torture their captives, they have never knew some had never seen the light of day even when they are born. But this one, this was something out of place not even a warlord like himself could comprehend.

"I-I didn't mean to come here," Alex said quietly, now not stuttering. He slumped to the ground and turned his head. "Go away….leave me alone…"

Megatron's mate nudged him gently. "Go on ahead. I'll talk to him."

"Not in your condition, Ygritte," he shook his head firmly. "Who knows what he might do to you and our unborn hatchlings."

But Ygritte silenced him with a lick across his muzzle. "I won't take long. Please wait for me at our den, my love."

Reluctantly, her mate nodded and gazed at the younger drake, expecting him not to do anything stupid that might endanger his mate and children. Once he left, Ygritte sniffed Alex's scent.

"Aw, poor Southerner without wings," she sighed sympathetically. "No wonder you're sadder that Starscream crying on the inside."

"S-Starscream?" Alex inquired. Ygritte may sound harsh but her demeanour is more motherly like Optimus' mate, Rose. "But he looks so confident and bold!"

"His bravado and gloating will be his downfall but hey, that's life. You do that to feel better when you know you are not."

Alex wondered if this could be applied to himself and Scarface. "W-what's going to happen to me?"

Ygritte shrugged. "Beats me. But I might have known if my mate's going to put you under Starscream's wings. Seeing how you two are almost alike."

"WHAT?!" Alex was already shocked. "I-I'm not even capable of flying anymore."

"And neither is he with empathy," Ygritte countered. "Try looking at things into his perspective."

With that, the pregnant dragoness left and Alex was waiting for his doom.

Well, Alex is now going to serve the Decepticons now. How will it go and will the Autobots do something about it? You will have to wait.

And please review!
