Author's Note: I hope not too many people thought it was weird how Megatron sang that lullaby in the last chapter. I did it more or less for its "freaky" effects I guess. Anyways sorry about the wait, here is chapter five.

Chap. 5: I Can't See

Shock ran through my veins when the reality of who had taken my hand sunk in. Circuits, I reminded myself, I don't have veins anymore. Once I overcame my shock I tried to pull my hand back. It didn't come.

"Don't panic,"

How did he know I was beginning to feel panic? He seemed to know so much about me, and I hardly knew anything about him. All I knew was that he was a giant metal being named Megatron.

"Please," I said trying once again to pull my hand away, "Let go."

"But I've waited for you so long Astrid, I can't possibly let you go now,"

He was so close to me. How come I couldn't see him? I should at least be able to see his eyes.

"Why can't I see you?"

"You're not looking the right way,"

My hand was freed suddenly. I quickly returned it to my side. I went to take a step forward but remembered Megatron was out there somewhere. I took a step back and bumped into something. I was too terrified to turn around and see what it was I had backed into.

Something breathed down my neck, "You found me."

I slowly turned and saw his pale blue eyes fixed on me. It was so dark his eyes were the only things of him I could see. My CPU screamed at me to run, but my feet betrayed me.

A hand slid on to my cheek, "Must you be so frightened?"

"Must you be so frightening?"

I turned my face away from his hand and he took it away. Run, I told myself, now is a good time to run.

"Don't run, you haven't found out what you wanted to know yet,"

"How did you know I was going to—

"I've been watching you for quite some time. I've studied you. It only seems right I would know nearly everything about you. And you cousin, Damien is it? He was my biggest help,"

I took a step back, "Studied me?"

"Yes," he said reaching out and catching my arm hampering my escape, "Don't ask anymore questions about it, you'll know everything you want to soon enough."

I tried to pull my arm away but Megatron only tightened his grip. Why did I drag myself into this? I've saved my family, let me go home now. His hand slid up to my shoulder.

"You can't escape me Astrid. It's too dark, you'd never find your way out. I'd only find you,"

I felt something slide down my face. I looked down so I wouldn't have to look into his eyes. His hand lifted my chin.

"I told you not to cry,"

I snapped my head out of his grasp.

"Look at me,"

Slowly I let my gaze fall back upon his eyes, "How can you see me? I can't see you."

"You do not need to see me to—

I reached my hand out towards his eyes. My hand rested against something. I believed it to be his face. Let me take control Megatron, I thought, let me control you for once. I ran my hand upwards and felt something protruding from his head. I heard him inhale deeply.

"Oh Astrid," he said exhaling, "That feels so good."

I quickly let go. I couldn't control him, I was powerless to him. My world was beginning to collapse. Megatron had complete control over me. Me, I had none. I was weak.

"You lied to me Megatron,"

"I lied?"

"You said I was no longer weak, you lied,"

He didn't respond. Maybe I proved him wrong for once. Perhaps I was smarter than him. Perhaps—I was interrupted from my thoughts when Megatron suddenly slid his hands into mine.

"You're only weak mentally, with some time you won't be,"

"So you were wrong,"

"You want to break me don't you?"

I took my hands back. Of course I wanted to break him. If I tried hard enough maybe I could break him into so many little pieces no one could ever put him back together. He chuckled when I didn't answer.

"Don't worry, you're not the only one. Everyone hates me,"

"I'm not giving you my sympathy,"

"I don't want your sympathy,"

I turned my back to him. I couldn't stand his eyes anymore. I couldn't stand how he could see me, but I couldn't see him.

"What do you say I lead you out of this darkness?"

"I want to go home,"

"Astrid, that's impossible now,"

"Megatron you've ruined me! Why couldn't you have just left me alone?"

"I could never leave you alone,"

All my fears were slowly turning to rage. Why did he want me? What was he trying to do? Why is he so…so evil?

"Let me introduce you to my army,"

"Army? Who exactly are you?"

"I am Megatron, leader of the decepticons,"

"Decepti-what's?"

"I'll show you,"

I was suddenly blinded by light.

Author's Note: And so ends chapter five. I don't think this was one of my better chapters. The next chapter will be a lot better, I promise. I actually have a pretty darn good idea for it unlike this one. So as usual, please review.
