Sorry for the wait.

Whitesilence POV

Chapter 18 Battle

A battle separates the strong from the weak. However, it also shows the completely insane from the normal sane people. I fall in between the category depending on how much fighting I end up having to do. If I just hung around the back to cover our flanks than I'm fine, killing only a few Autobots stupid enough to wonder close to her. If, however, I'm thrown into the front lines than all my enemies better run because I tend to go a little, ok really psycho.

I was running along this little trench beside the main battleground with my sword clinking softly beside me as I ran. I wasn't looking for anyone in particular, just seeing if there was anyone who had fled here for cover. This was my favourite part, killing the fools who thought that hiding would keep them safe. Fools, hiding only make another person see you as coward and cowards are usually the first to die.

I saw one Autobot up ahead and sped up. The Autobot spun and I tackled him to the ground. I whipped my blade up and plunged it into his spark chamber. He screamed and clutched the sword as I smiled down at him.

'This is what happens when you run from a battle. The enemy finds you and shows you how you should have died.'

His optics went out and energon was bubbling up beside my sword so I pulled it out and smiled cruelly as the energon flowed out of his dead body like a tap opened all the way. I walked past him and continued on my way. I looked at my sword and laughed as I saw the yellow substance stained there.

I heard a faint whimper and looked up. There was a child leaning against the building. Its arm was dangling beside it, attached to the shoulder by a couple of thin wires. I knelt down in front of the child and lifted its head up to look me in the optics. Its yellow optics widened in fear and I felt bad for the child.

'Who did this? Autobot or Decepticon?'

"A-a-autobot." The child whimpered.

I nodded my head before I contacted Starscream. 'Starscream? Come in Starscream.'

'Starscream here. What's wrong Silence?'

'I found a child and its hurt badly. It said that an Autobot did this to it. Is there anyway that we can get it back to HQ?'

'I don't know Silence. Can you contact Megatron for that answer?'

'Hang on. Megatron? You there?'

'Is there a problem?'

'I found a child and it's hurt badly.'

'Is it Autobot or Decepticon?'

'It said that it was hurt by an Autobot. As to its origins, that is unknown.'

'I will arrange one of the Decepticons to retrieve it. Wait until Silverdart arrives before you leave it.'

'Understood.'

I smiled down at the child and touched its face gently. It jerked slightly at the touch and I made the best soothing noise that I could. The child shivered as it looked up at me and I placed my sword in my subspace. I carefully lifted the child up into my arms and it whimpered as its arms flopped uselessly over the top of my arm.

An engine roared towards us and I looked up to see a silver hover vehicle screech to a halt just in front of us. It transformed and Silverdart stood there. He narrowed his optics as he stared at the child in my arms.

"Megatron has ordered me to being the brat back to the base." He grumbled.

'Watch its arm. It's barely hanging on as it is.'

Silverdart took the child out of my arms and left in the direction of the base. When he had vanished from sight I turned and continued on my way, pulling my sword out as I went. I walked slowly to make sure that I didn't miss anything.

Something darted and I shot at it. A yelp told me that I had hit it. I raced forward and found another Autobot lying on the ground. I smiled as I looked down at the injured Autobot. I tilted my head as a sudden thought struck me. I had seen Redscream to attack her enemy and rip their throat out and I wondered what it was like.

I knelt down beside the Autobot and opened my mouth to reveal my vampire-like fangs. The Autobot's optics widened in fear as I lowered my head to his throat. I placed my fangs against his throat and sank them in. As he began to scream I bit into his throat and yanked backwards. I felt the Autobot's voice transmitter in my mouth and as I was about to spit it out, energon spurted out of the wound and hit me in the face. I backed up and spat the transmitter on the ground as the Autobot died screaming as energon flowed out of his torn throat.

I laughed as I stood up. I continued on my way and killed two other Autobots this way before Megatron told me to head back to base. I walked into the base and was greeted by Starscream right away.

"Well look who's back." He growled. He winked at me and pulled himself up to his full height as the other Decepticons noticed me.

'The child? How is it?'

"She's fine. Little thing wondered onto the battlefield by accident and was shot by the Autobots who thought that it was just a short Decepticon." One of the mechs stated. His optics were sparkling up at me and I knew that he wanted me to love him. I tried hard not to gag.

I nodded and headed towards the med bay. Starscream slid up beside me and smiled down at me.

"You're that worried about her?" He asked.

'Yes. Her arm was hanging on by only a few wires when I found her.'

Starscream nodded as we entered the med bay. I spotted the child instantly and made my way over to her. She looked up at me with fear in her yellow optics as she saw Starscream. I smiled down at her and elbowed Starscream in the stomach as he stopped right behind me. A grunt made the femme giggle.

'Are you alright little one?'

"Yes ma'am." The child said.

"Do you have a name?" Starscream asked as he massaged his stomach.

"Blacksprite." The child chirped.

I smiled and nodded. It seemed perfect for the little black femme.

'Do you know where your parents are?'

The child shook her head as a finger entered her mouth. "I not know who my parents are." She stated.

"How old are you?" Starscream asked.

"A few months old sir." The child replied.

I frowned and turned to Starscream. 'We need to find someone to look after her. She's too young to look after herself.'

Starscream tilted his head. "Think that one of the younger mechs might want to look after her?"

"I highly doubt that Starscream." Megatron's voice stated.

"Why do you say that?" Starscream asked.

"Simple. They are too high and mighty to bother with a child." Megatron replied.

"What about Dirge? Wouldn't he look after her if he was persuaded?" Starscream asked as he rubbed his knuckles together.

I laughed as I realized what he meant. Starscream looked at me and frowned.

'By the way, why is there energon all over your fangs?'

'I'll tell you later. Right now we need to work out who's going to look after Blacksprite.'

Author's note: Ok, short and stupid and sweet. Hehehe. Go me and pure random thoughts!
