Told from Whitesilence's POV.

'Blah.' Whitesilence thoughts

Chapter 7: The Nightmare

I looked around my new room. I hated that Megatron had told me that I was stuck here from now on. I didn't think that I was old enough to be in a room all by myself just yet. I mean I was only a couple of months old. I shivered as I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to make myself feel safe. I hated knowing that the mech, who normally made me feel so safe and sheltered, had arranged all this. Megatron had said that it was so I could get up and go to training without having to wait for him to get up. I didn't want to be in a separate room, why didn't he see that?

I sniffled as I snuggled deeper into the blankets, rolling over so that my back was to the door. I felt tears run down my face out of fear. What if Thundercraker broke in and killed me? Megatron wouldn't know the difference until it was too late! I wanted Megatron to be with me, I wanted to feel protected, not exposed and vulnerable. I slowly cried myself to sleep.

I was standing in the middle of a field. There was a large green carpet of some sort. It was organic, nothing like what was on Cybertron. I looked around and spotted some tall brown and green things, which were also organic. I seemed to know where I was, and at the same time I didn't have a clue. I heard yelling and gunfire up ahead and ran towards the noise. I was smiling at the fact that there was a battle going on, I loved to fight.

I approached a large outcrop of rock and saw a whole bunch of Transformers gathered there. I pulled out a gun from my subspace and continued forward, knowing that some amongst them were my enemies. I saw two forms fighting one another in the sky. One was huge! Bigger than any Transformer I had ever seen. The other was a great deal smaller. They were yelling about something called "Omega Lock" and "Cyber Planet Keys" and who rightfully owned them. I felt torn for some reason, part of me wanting to help the smaller Transformer and the other part wanting to help the insanely huge Transformer. I crept forward slowly, getting a little closer to the two arguing Transformers. The two forms began to glow with a powerful aura. The large one began to glow yellow and the other a dark purple. The two auras collided, causing a huge explosion.

I was hit dead on by the blast. I screamed in my head because I couldn't use my mouth still. I felt my whole body heat up and my cooling systems were working overtime to try to cool me down. I thought that my whole body was going to melt, the heat was so intense. I felt my conscious begin to slip and began to fall towards the ground when a large hand grabbed me around my middle. I lifted my head and stared into the face of the giant Transformer. I screamed even harder than I already was, causing the mech to drop me and slam his hands over his hearing receptors. I smashed into the ground and felt a huge, burning pain run through my back. I screamed again from the pain.

I thought I was going to die. I was burnt badly from the energy of the explosion and my back was probably broken from the fall. My conscious my slipping as I heard a voice yelling at me.

"Whitesilence! Wake up!" Megatron's voice ordered.

I snapped awake, panting out of fear. Megatron was holding me tightly to his chest, as if something had frightened him. I moved around a little, trying to get the feeling back in my shoulders. Megatron was holding me really tight. He pulled me away from his chest and stared at me. His optics were filled with fear and concern.

"Are you ok?" He asked hoarsely.

'Nightmare.'

"It must have been horrible. You somehow managed to wake up the whole base with your screaming." Starscream stated from the wall beside my bed.

I looked over at him and tilted my head in confusion.

'What do you mean? I can't use my voice remember?'

"Somehow, you managed to start screaming in everyone's mind. The whole base was up trying to figure out how to get rid of the screaming that they were hearing." Megatron explained. "I knew immediately that something was wrong with you and came here to find out what. You were thrashing around in your sleep and the minute I picked you up you screamed even harder. It didn't stop until you woke up just now." He added.

'Sorry. There was this explosion and I was hit hard by it and then this gigantic mech picked me up and scared me so bad that I screamed even harder and he dropped me and I smashed into the ground and broke my back.'

"What did you ingest before you went to bed?" Starscream asked, shaking his head.

'I can't remember eating anything at all.'

"Starscream, return to your room. I can handle her from here." Megatron ordered.

Starscream nodded and left the room quickly, closing the door shut behind him. I looked up at Megatron and lifted my hand up towards him. He pulled me close to his chest and rocked back and forth, as if he was trying to calm me down. I smiled as I rubbed my head against his chest. I felt safe again now that he was holding me tightly. He lay me down on the bed and lay down beside me. I looked up at him and saw that he looked upset.

"You can't keep relying on me, Silence. There will come a day when I won't be there to protect you." He said sadly.

'I know. But could you still protect me for now? I don't like feeling exposed, like any one of the others could come in here and kill me without you even realizing it.'

"None of them would dare to do that." Megatron stated as he pulled me closer to him and kissed my forehead.

'Still, I don't like this feeling. Could you stay with me for one more night at least?'

Megatron smiled as he gave me a hug. "Of course, my baby." He said. "Everyone is going to have a headache tomorrow." He added, chuckling softly as I fell asleep.

'I hope Thundercraker has a migraine.'
