Disclaimer: Y'all know the drill.

Alpha cried out as a yellow hand lashed out of the darkness, hitting her across her face and leaving scrapes of yellow paint on her soft, silver cheek. The femme staggered back and looked around the dark…wherever she was. A form appeared in the black and then stepped out and into view. The young femme started to cower.

"W-Why did you…?" Alpha whimpered, putting a trembling hand onto her cheek. "Sunstreaker, I thought you agreed to leave me alone…"

"I changed my mind…" The yellow melee warrior snarled as he took a step closer to her; Alpha took a step back, but ran into something.

Looking behind her, Alpha realized she had run into some kind of…dark barrier. Her optics widened in fright. That was magic, dark magic. A whimper escaped her lips. Sunstreaker didn't know dark magic, heck, he didn't know magic period! So…why was it here and stopping her from escaping?

Alpha was snapped from her thinking when Sunstreaker's foot lashed out and hit her throat, causing her to fall over and cough. She sat on all fours as she tried desperately to get the air her systems so greatly needed. Someone's blue and white foot connected with her side and she tumbled over, into Sunstreaker's waiting arms. She whimpered upon looking up and seeing Sideswipe standing in front of her, a furious look on his face, and also upon feeling Sunstreaker pin her arms behind her back with more force that was necessary.

"Sideswipe…wha?" Alpha asked, still gasping for breath; her neck was dented from Sunstreaker's foot and now her side was aching. "Sideswipe…answer me…"

But all she got for an answer was a fist in her gut, causing her to double over the best she could. Sunstreaker yanked her back up, forcing her to stand up straight. Alpha whimpered and squirmed in fear. Why were they attacking her? She had made it clear that she hadn't hurt them on purpose…and they had understood! So why were they hurting her? Hadn't she been hurt enough? The femme let out a strangled cry when Sunstreaker threw her into Sideswipe's arms and the mech grabbed her around her throat instead of restraining her arms.

"S-Stop it…please…" Tears filled her emerald optics. "Why-Why are you doing this?"

"You hurt my brother." Sunstreaker growled, cracking his knuckles.

"You hurt mine." Sideswipe also answered the femme. The twins looked at each other and smirked evilly, making Alpha whimper and squirm.

"You're no better than the Decepticons if you do this." She whispered, but instantly regretted it when Sunstreaker lashed out and hit her optic, shattering it. Alpha cried out in pain. "Stop it! Please!" Optical fluid tears fell into her shattered optic, making the usually hidden wires hiss.

"Ferget about it." Sunstreaker smirked as he lashed out again.

Something's wrong! I don't know what! A voice snarled.

Alpha looked up weakly from where she was standing in the dark room, her arms chained to the wall of shadows by two metal shackles that were clamped tightly around her wrists, which the twins had used to keep her from running away, but now that they were gone, she was stuck there. She sighed softly, thanking Primus they were gone. The twins had been gone for about ten cycles; they had left, more like disappeared into the darkness, after she had pretended to pass out.

"Who-Who's there?" She whimpered fearfully, looking around with her one working optic after the voice spoke again. Her arm sparked and Alpha hissed softly again.

I just came in and suddenly she's got all of these injuries! The voice continued, No, she wasn't awake when I left! I made sure the drugs were still in effect!

Alpha froze. What was the voice talking about? She had passed out while walking down the hall to go talk to Preceptor…but…she had been with Hammertread. Where was he? Why wasn't he with her? Wherever she was… Alpha looked around. Where was she now? And, if she truly was still unconscious, why did everything feel so real, especially the pain?

"Hello? Is anyone there? Ratchet? Swoop? First Aid? Brother?" She looked around, afraid again. The voice had been silent for a full five cycles and it was scaring her. She was alone again…and she hated being injured and alone!

"Nope…not even close…"

Alpha froze. She knew that voice, but the icy tone to it was new. He was never icy to anyone. At all. She turned slowly and spotted Jazz and Prowl in the corner, their blue optics, and visor in Jazz's case, were so cold they scared her. "J-Jazz? Pr-Prowl? Wh-What's wrong?" She asked, whimpering softly, as she struggled against her bonds.

"You." Prowl answered as Jazz walked to the other side of the femme. Alpha flinched away from him slightly. "What's the matter? Afraid?" His voice wasn't cold. It was mocking.

Alpha nodded. "What are you going to do to me?" She whimpered, looking up at him, "Don't you see what the twins have already done?" She motioned to her body with her bound hands.

"Oh, we see…and think it's not enough."

Jazz reached and grabbed the femme's helmet, forcing her to look up and look them in the optic. Alpha squealed in fright. "Jazz! Please! Don't hurt me! Prowl! I'm begging you! Both of you! I didn't do anything!"

Jazz's visor narrowed. "Is dat da truth?" He asked, holding her tighter. "Well den. Why 'ave many of de other Autobots been attacked by yer lil' 'pet'? Huh?"

"It wasn't me! Prowl, you know that! You know that Fluffy's being controlled by the werewolf!" Alpha squirmed a bit, "Please! Let me go! Don't hurt me…"

"Prime gave me permission to decide your punishment…" Prowl smirked softly.

"But don' worry, Al. It won't 'urt much." Jazz finished, sounding serious. His accent was still there, but it was almost completely masked by the tone in his voice.

Alpha squirmed uncomfortably in his grip. The look in his visor…was disturbing. It wasn't the Jazz she knew. It looked more like…more like Orcus. That thought caused her to freeze; her spark stopped. Oh Primus no!! She swallowed and squirmed a bit as Prowl walked a bit close; he was well within kicking distance now, should she want to strike back. However, that thought never crossed her mind. After all, Prowl was a superior, that and she was too afraid to do anything. There were two of them, anyways, and only one of her; plus she was injured and bound.

All the young femme did was whimper and beg softly in her mind for the two to let her go.

Slaggit! The injuries just keep appearing! I don't know what's going on! The voice growled again. Swoop, go get Prime! First Aid, find Omega! Now!

Alpha heard her little brother's name and, though she was shaking terribly in fear and was aching all over, managed to push herself off of the ground so she was no longer on her knees, but on her feet. "Little brother…help me…" If there was one person that could help her, it would be her little brother. He wouldn't hurt her. He never had and never would. "Please…" Her voice was now a hoarse whisper as energon leaked from her injuries and onto the floor.

A throaty chuckle was heard. Alpha looked up in fright and squealed upon seeing Orcus walking out of the darkness and into view. He grabbed the edges of her hip armor and, tucking his thumbs into the space between the armor and her body, pulled the weak and injured femme against him. Alpha started to tremble even more, sobbing uncontrollably.

"How does it feel, my dear? Hmm?" Orcus asked, lips near her audio, "To have your friends, your family as you call them, to betray you like this? It hurts, doesn't it?"

"What-What did you do to them?" Alpha choked out.

"Nothing…they did this of their own free will. You know I can't control another's mind…" He caressed her cheek gently, "Only their powers…"

Alpha shivered. "I-I know that…" She choked, "Let go of me…"

"Not yet…" He turned and looked at the wall of darkness; two bright red orbs gave shown brightly.

Alpha's optics widened in fear and panic. "You-You didn't! N-No! He wouldn't…he would kill you before he ever hurt me!" She squealed, struggling now. She tried to push him away, but he simply smirked and slid his hands up her body to her cheeks. "Don't touch me!"

He leaned over and bit. His teeth slid into the soft metal flesh of her neck, where it met her shoulder. He grinned as he heard the scream that was forming in Alpha hitch in her throat. After a moment, he pulled his teeth away and lapped up the energon, holding Alpha against the wall. As the femme cried and struggled weakly, not able to move much anymore, he licked the last bit of energon and backed away. He gave her grin and then was gone.

Heavy footsteps neared. Alpha trembled in fear and resigned herself for the pain that was coming. She fell back down onto her knees and wept weakly, shoulders trembling with every hoarse, heartbreaking sob. She felt the smoldering gaze coming from two optics she knew all too well rest on her and the femme clenched her fists feebly. "Don't hurt me, HT." She begged weakly.

Omega growled as he paced back and forth in the med bay, well out of Ratchet's way. He knew that Ratchet was in a mood right now and that his sister was the cause of it. He saw her out of the corner of her optics, laying on the berth, asleep, while injuries kept appearing on her body as if there by magic. That thought made him freeze instantly.

Magic.

Black magic was causing this. And he knew that only one of the Decepticons knew magic. He clenched his fists. Slag that werewolf! He was causing this! …But how? He couldn't prove it…or maybe he could. His sister let out a soft moan and Omega was instantly at his side, pushing Ratchet out of the way.

"Hey!" The medic growled, but said nothing more as Omega held his sister's limp hand carefully.

"Sis…you okay?"

"Stop it, please…" Alpha managed to get out, obviously still trapped in whatever corner of her mind she was trapped in. By the way she was covered with injuries, Omega guessed it was the darkest corner of her mind.

"Easy…I'll make it stop, I promise you…"

"Sis?" Omega's voice asked, it sounded worried, but also a bit relieved.

Alpha looked up weakly, trembling all over. She couldn't stand anymore. All she could do was try to lay onto the ground, body nearly suspended in mid air as the shackles dug into her wrists, and look up at him with relief in her optics. Omega bent down and gently helped her sit up. He held her in his arms and sat down, caressing her cheek gently. Alpha nuzzled him and whimpered.

"Sis, I can't believe this…"

"I know." Alpha murmured, looking up at him. She put a hand weakly on his chest, as if trying to feel his spark. "Why are they doing this?"

"No, I meant that," He face suddenly took on a much darker look, "That you actually thought that you were going to get away with this…look!" He showed her his wing, it was torn up with slashes, "Look at what you're little pet did! Look at what you did!!"

Alpha shook her head suddenly, trying to get out of his grip. "N-No…not you too! Omega, please! You can't…you said you would never hurt me! Even Hammertread…you can't too…!"

Omega stood up, turned and started to leave, but the next words that came out of Alpha's mouth made him freeze, energon running ice cold in his fuel lines.

"Omega, please!" Alpha started to thrash a bit as Omega turned his attention back to her. "Bro, please! N-No! Not you too! Don't hurt me…"

A scorch mark appeared on Alpha's side and Omega gaped. He saw energon seep through a new wound on her upper lip and his spark froze in his chest. "Sis!" He ran over and grabbed her hand, "Sis, don't believe whatever you're seeing! I'm not doing that to you!"

"Omega!" Alpha suddenly screeched and tears fell out of her one working optic while her neck started to dent. Her legs suddenly stopped moving, as if pinned down by something. "No!"

Omega stumbled away. His visor darkened. "That wolf's going to pay!" He snarled, flying out of the med bay as quickly as he could.

Ratchet walked him fly away and looked at Alpha; he frowned. Magic. He hated it! There was nothing he could do to stop magic! He got out a syringe and started to fill it with drugs, but stopped. Alpha was already knocked out. The drugs would do nothing to help, in fact, they could probably hurt her. He threw the syringe away in disgust.

He hated magic.

Orcus chuckled as he continued to, in the corner of his cell, conjure up one of the best spells he had ever done. His link with the femme made it even easier to hurt her. His grin grew a bit; he had everything to gain from this experiment, as well as everything to loose if anyone found out it was him that was forcing this nightmare onto the young femme, but it was worth it. Fluffy would grow angrier and angrier with every attack and, would, sooner or later, go out and attack the Autobots that had 'attacked' his mistress.

The sound of footsteps reached his sensitive ears and the werewolf forced the spell to subside. He frowned. There was no way he could conjure that spell back up again without the proper ingredients…none of which he had in the Autobot cells. Oh well. The damage had been done. At least he had gotten in the femme's brother and the mech that had slashed his chest and captured him.

His optics narrowed. He would enjoy it when Fluffy attacked that tank. Orcus looked up and saw Omega walk into view; an evil grin spread all over his face and he laughed. "Hello. What brings you down here?" He asked, energon stained teeth flashing in the light.

Omega stomped over and gripped onto the energy bars tightly. "What the slag did you do to my sister?" He snarled, visor turning a dark, evil red color. "Tell me, you bastard!"

Orcus let out a throaty chuckle as he stood, the chains attached to his wrists clinking softly. "Someone's angry, hmm?" He asked, walking as close to bars as the chains would let him.

"Angry?" Omega growled. "I used to get angry with someone shot my wing or when someone tried to hurt my big sister. But now…now I'm furious!! You…whatever you did is hurting my sister…and she's thinking I did it!"

"It's not just you that's attacking her."

Omega's optics widened. He lashed out and grabbed the werewolf's throat. "I'm asking you again; what did you do to my sis?"

Another chuckle. "Just a simply spell. It's ended now…but the aftereffects are going to be fun for me to watch…not so fun for you." He grinned evilly, but then snarled when Omega threw him back. "I'm not regretting anything right now…"

"I'll make you regret it later." Omega swore as he flew towards the med bay. He landed just outside the med bay and walked in. His optics widened at the sight before him.

Alpha was cowering on the repair berth, hugging her legs to her chest, as she watched Ratchet try to near her with a sedative. Yes, again. However, whenever the elder medic got too close, she kicked at him, whimpering in fear. "D-Don't come near me!" She said, backing up even farther. She spotted her brother and, instead of going to hide behind him, cried out and hugged her legs even tighter. "Stay away from me!"

"Alpha, what-" Omega started.

"Don't touch me! Don't come near me!" Alpha looked around desperatly for a way to escape. She spotted the doors and jumped from the berth onto the ground and ran.

YP: ...Do I have to say it again? Review!! Or no new chappie...Mwhahahaha!!

Alpha: ...You love the cliffies...

YP: Yup.
