A/N Heh heh, um… this chapter comes from a plot bunny… but I can't for the life of me remember where. ^^; I mean, I know the site, but just not the page and I really don't feel like trying to find it.

Anyways, enjoy the chapter! ALSO: 'Pathways' is still coming. I'm just trying to figure out if I want to switch POV's or whatever... sorry that it's takin' while, but good things come to those who wait!

Ch. 10 Energon Suckers

"C'mon! Get 'im, get 'im! Right there! Are you blind or something? He was wide open-"

"I didn't ask for your advice. I know what I'm doing."

"Well, excuse me for getting into it!" I snapped back at Sunstreaker.

"Hey, I thought you were on my side!" Sideswipe whined.

Shrugging, I replied, "I'm switching off… oh! Sides! Go left, go left!"

Following my directions, Sideswipe dove left and was able to clip Sunstreaker's side with his blade. Sunstreaker let out a grunt of pain, and shot me a death glare.

"Switching off, remember?" I taunted.

As the fight continued, I noticed a pink stain beginning to form on Sunstreaker's right side. Soon enough drops of the substance started to fall to the ground.

"Hey Sunshine," I called out, "You bleeding? …or leaking… whatever you giant robots do?" The twins stopped what they were doing. Sunstreaker lowered a hand to his scratch. The pink liquid got on his fingertips, but he didn't seem too concerned about it.

"I'm fine. Sides just cut a minor line or something," Sunstreaker reassured me.

I had made my way over to where a drop of the stuff had landed on the ground. Considering that it was small compared to them, made it huge compared to me. The puddle wasn't bigger than me per say, but it was a puddle.

It gave off a metallic-y odor, and I wrinkled my nose when I got a whiff of it. "What is this stuff?" I asked them.

Sideswipe shrugged a bit, "A mixture of energon and mech fluid."

"Wait… I thought energon was what you guys ate."

"It is, but it's a form of energy so it works both ways."

I let that set in my brain for a moment or two. "So… you're all vampires?"

"What?" they asked in unison.

I rolled my eyes, "Undead people, suck blood, can't go into the sun…?"

"But… we aren't undead," Sideswipe said in a confused voice. "And we've gone out in the sun before."

"And we don't suck blood, " Sunstreaker snorted.

"I know that, it's just the whole concept of energon being your version of blood, but you eat it too… it reminds me of vampires."

The twins looked at each other.

"As I've stated before, she's insane," Sunstreaker said to Sideswipe.

My mouth dropped open as Sideswipe nodded. "I have to agree with you there."

"Hey!" I shouted, "I'm right here! I can hear you!"

…um… hey *shifty eyes* Really sorry that I haven't updated this in forever. School just started last week. I'm still adjusting to it all (just started high school) so it may take a while for me to get back into the swing of things.
