Tech's POV

I wake up to and try to move but can't. I was tied down to a metal slab. The first thing I see are two more robots that I think are called Decepticons since they have purple insignia on their chest just like that one who took me away from Skyla. One bot is bright red and has what looks like what Skyla told me people call a cattle prod his right hand. The other is gray and has fangs.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Lord Megatron, and soon my friend you'll forget all about your human pet," Megatron says.

"Skyla is not my pet. She is family. I need to get back to her. She needs me," I say struggling to break free from my restraints.

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that. Knockout, the prod," Megatron says.

Then I see sparks coming from it. The next thing I feel is a sharp jolt of electricity flow through my body. Before my systems slowly start to shut down again.

I just hope that my memory banks stay intact.

Evil chuckles are all I hear as my eyes closed as darkness consumes me again.

Ratchet's POV

I bring Skyla into the medical bay and lay her down on the exam table. A few moments later June arrive. She attaches the IV bag to her left arm. I notice that Skyla's arm has bruises on it like she was hit with an extension cord. Then begins to wipe the sweat from Skyla's face. I can't believe what I'm seeing. Her face has several bruises and even a fat lip.

"June, do have any idea how she got these injuries?"

"I'm afraid so, Skyla is a victim of child abuse. She may have more injuries hidden by her clothes, and some may be internal." June says.

I can't believe this when I put Sky Dancer in her escape pod. Alpha Trion assured me that he'd make sure that she would grow up with a family that would care for as well as I did. How could one of the original primes appear to me and lie right to my face?

Skyla's POV

I slowly open my eyes. When my vision clears up enough to look around, I see that I'm not in a hospital. I quickly sit up as my heart starts to race. Then I see a woman she has a stethoscope around her neck. She places her hand on my shoulder.

"Calm down sweetheart. I'm June. I'm going to help you get your strength back. You're safe, what's your name?" She says.

She lays me back down when I start to feel lightheaded,

"Skyla. Where am I?"

"You're in the medical at the Autobot base, just outside Jasper Nevada," June says.

"How did I get here?"

"Ratchet brought you here," June says.

"So, he is real. I thought I was hallucinating,"

"You weren't hallucinating sweetheart," June says. "I know you need to rest, but did your parents abuse you?"

"Yes, they have been doing it since I turned thirteen,"

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" June asks.

"I thought no one would believe me. Besides, this was my fault, and I deserved it,"

June fixes my hair by brushing it away from my eyes, then she says in a comforting tone "Skyla, you didn't deserve to be treated like this. All this pain you've gone through wasn't your fault."

"Then why did this happen to me?"

"It's hard to say, but I promise you that I'm going to help you get back on your feet. Once you're well enough, you can stay with me and my son Jack," June says.

"Thank you, June,"

"You're welcome when has the last time you've seen a doctor?" June says.

"When I was thirteen,"

"Do you remember how much you weighed?" June asks.

"90 lbs,"

"So, your parents didn't feed you either," June gasps.

I nod then sleep slowly sweeps over me, and my eyes close again.
