Torn Chapter 3

I woke up from recharge feeling way better than when I went to sleep. The memories of the day before came flooding back into my processor. "Did I really yell at Optimus?" I wondered. I felt worse about it now that my judgment was not clouded. I made my way to the main room. When I got there Ratchet shoved an energon cube into my hands and ordered me to drink it. The others were off taking their charges to school and Optimus was on patrol so it was just the red and white mech and I. I quickly finished the cube. I started to get really bored.

"Hey Ratchet? Is there anything I can do? I finished the energon."

He paused for a moment with his typing. "You can clean up the medbay area."

"Okay. Where are the cleaning supplies?"

After he handed me the supplies I slowly walked back to the medbay. I did not want him to know, but deep inside I really did not want to go back in there. The thought of it was enough to bring down my spirits. I finally came to the medical room doors. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open. The room was pitch black except for a few light glows coming from the monitors power supply. I tried the lights but they would not turn on. Memories of Ohm came to me.

Flashback

"Ohm! Where are you?" I called out.

The Decepticons had captured him and I followed. It took 35 cycles to find the laboratory. They had just abandoned the labs and were running towards the fight.

"This is my chance," I thought, "to rescue him."

As I walked along the hallway I heard a low moan come from the room ahead of me. "Ohm?" I ran through the doorway and into a low lit room. I saw him strapped to an experiment table. There was energon dripping off of the table and onto the large puddle beneath it. His chasis was sliced open. I could see his spark and it was still beating but very faintly. Just by using my simple scanner that all Cybertronians had, I could tell that he could not make.

"Cir-Circuit? Is th-that you?" he called out weakly. I ran to his side.

"Yes Ohm. It is me." I managed to say through my tears.

"I want you to know that I have always loved you more th-than a friend," he rasped, "and I always will. When I join with the All-Spark, know that I will always be with you."

"I have always loved you to Ohm." I said.

His spark went out. His once bright blue body turned a dull gray. His bright gold optics now dull with no light.

"NO! OHM! DON'T LEAVE ME!" I cried out. I hugged his lifeless body. I could not see anything through the tears that were clouding my vision. I knew that I had to leave before the Decepticons got back. I stealthily walked into the hallway. I almost got caught but thankfully the scientist was facing the other direction. As soon as I got out, I broke into a run. I ran and ran until I thought my spark would collapse. I ran towards our shared home. It was an abandoned base with plenty of tools and energon. I grabbed plenty of supplies and climbed into our escape ship. We tried not to use it to much because we did not want to be seen. It roared to life and I flew out of the building, into the atmosphere, and then into space.

End of Flashback

"Circuit Breaker? What is wrong?" I heard Ratchet.

"Nothing," I lied. I knew he could tell I was lying.

"The truth Circuit."

"Nothing is wrong."

He sighed and set me down on the berth. "Please tell what is wrong. I cannot properly help you if you do not tell me."

"Look Ratch, I do not want to talk about it!" I was getting frustrated. It was none of his business.

"Please calm down or else I will have to sedate you."

I stood up and growled, "If you lay one servo on me, you will regret it."

I saw him reach over and grab a needle with a clear substance within it.

"Calm down. This will only pinch a little."

He slowly advanded towards me. I ran out of the medbay and looked around franticly for a hiding spot. I saw an air vent so I took off the door and climbed in. I knew that Ratchet would not be able to climb in after me.

"Circuit Breaker, please come out," he called in after me.

I started laughing because I knew that he could not get me back. I had not expected him to be able to locate me and cut the air duct. He firmly held me down and punctured my arm with the sedative. My vision flickered and I lost consciousness.

I woke up strapped to a berth in a dark room. I could see a three pairs of red optics looking at me. They started to move towards me with laser scalpels and other tools.

I screamed when they got to me. Then all of a sudden I was being shaken. I heard a worried voice calling my name. I looked up to Arcee looking at me with a fearful expression on her faceplates.

"Circuit Breaker what is wrong?"

I noticed that my servos and pedes were restrained.

"Why am I restrained? Take then off! Please! I beg of you!"

"OK. Calm down. Take deep breaths."

I did as my creator instructed and I calmed down.

"May I be freed now?" I asked a lot calmer.

She wordlessly unstrapped me and helped me up.

"I'm sorry that I caused so much trouble," I apologized.

"It is okay. Ratchet said that you need to stay in the medbay until he can figure out what is wrong."

"Please do not make me stay in here. Please," I begged.

"She can stay in my room," I heard Ratchet say, "If she would like that better."

I nodded weakly. "Thank you."

They both helped me to Ratchet's room. Arcee watched me while BulkHead and Optimus brought my berth into the room.

"Now I suggest that we all go get some recharge, " Optimus ordered.

Everyone said that they hope I get better and left. I curled up in my usual recharge position and drifted off into my dreams.
