CHAPTER ELEVEN

Shooting Star

***

Meg: Well, this is it…oww, my tongue hurts from being ripped out…anyway, this chapter is rated M, for sexual…stuff. Umm, I'm not really sure what to call it… ;^_^

Emma: Well maybe you shouldn't call it ANYTHING!! Maybe we shouldn't even DO this chapter!!

Meg: Quiet you! *Prepares to write* Dear Primus, I'm no good at this kind of writing…and…this is weird…

Emma: HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL!!??

Meg: If you don't like this chapter, then you can re-rip my tongue out, okay?

Emma: Deal. *Shakes hand*

"I can't sleep…" I muttered, sitting up suddenly.

Star, in his holoform, glanced at me. "What's the matter with you?" He had started asking me this almost every time he thought something was wrong with me, and I wondered if he really cared. I wondered what his intentions were. I wondered…

"I feel like going for a walk…" I told him, and got up out of bed. Star waited until I'd gotten changed, and then I left the room with a slight limp (no more crutches!). He followed. Once we were downstairs and outside, I just stood there in the backyard, looking around, until Star made the decision for me.

He grabbed me, swung me on to his back, and started running at top speed towards the trees.

Feeling like I was in some kind of a vampire movie, I clung tight to his back as the trees enveloped us, and we were lost in the darkness of the night. Well, at least I was lost – Star, on the other hand, seemed to know exactly where we were going, and I trusted him completely to get me to wherever it was we were headed.

He seemed to have been planning this night for quite some while, as if he were just waiting for me to say that I couldn't sleep and needed some fresh air.

While he ran, and I was along for the ride, I asked him: "The power that's within me…you crave it, don't you?"

Star didn't answer, but I sensed his reply anyway. We had been nearly inseparable over the last few days, and I had found myself growing strongly attached to the seeker. He was different from Bee in so many ways, in fact they were almost nothing alike. Star was a lot colder, and he dealt with things more harshly. He had little tolerance, and he was power-hungry. I knew that for a fact.

Still, I found myself admiring the qualities that, to others, were overshadowed by his faults.

He was strong, he was determined, and he had protected me from a lot of things I feared – including being alone. Whatever I requested, he did it. I didn't want to be alone, and so Star had gone out of his way to ensure that I was never alone, even if it meant overstepping certain boundaries.

We slept in the same bed together, him with his arms around me all night, comforting me with his words so that I would never be alone. My parents either weren't aware of this little fact or chose to ignore it. I don't know.

Star also seemed afraid – afraid that, if he left me alone for more then, say, an hour, then I would disappear, and then he would be left without his power.

I knew he wanted my power from me, but I wanted to know if that was the only reason why he kept me.

Star never ever lied to me.

So, if I asked him now, then I knew I'd get an honest answer from him.

We soon found ourselves sitting on the rocks. Where were we? We were on a small island not far from the shore. We had both flown over there – him in his alte form and me, well, I just flew over here, didn't I. Now, him back in his holoform, we were sitting on the rocks, and I was drawing Cybertronian symbols in the sand with my toe.

I had a question.

"Why do you keep me?" I asked Star, and then I took a deep breath. "It's because of the power, the All-Spark core, isn't it?"

Star looked at me then, a strange mixture of emotions in his red eyes. He nodded.

I nodded too, and glanced up at the one-night-off-from-a-full-moon. "I knew it – you want to the power of the All-Spark, to defeat Megatron and rule Cybetron, as the most powerful Decepticon in the universe."

Again, he nodded. He hadn't said anything for awhile now.

"Is that the only reason?" I hated to ask it, but I knew that I had to. I had to know now, otherwise it would kill me.

Star stood up then, and pulled me to my feet. He gripped my shoulders with his hands tightly, and stared intently into my eyes, blood red searching through metallic green. At last he said: "No."

It was my turn to search him, and what I found reassured me. There was confusion on Star's face – he had no idea why, but clearly he felt something towards me, that I could quite describe, and neither could he. All he knew was that he wanted to keep me, he wanted my powers but he also wanted something else.

But what?

I reached up a shaking hand, and touched the side of his human face. "I believe you." I whispered, before we leaned towards each other and kissed.

It was then that I felt my heart began to pound, but something else was pounding too. The power of the All-Spark overwhelmed me and, for the next half an hour, I was in another world.

It tarted with the kiss – I've never really understood the big deal about kissing, until Star and I did it. Suddenly, it was like the mot amazing thing in the world, like we were discovering kissing for the first time ever. I couldn't really describe the taste – there was the obvious one in there, of energon, which is just a nice way of saying petrol, I guess. But then…there was something else…pure energy, I guess. Our tongues danced around in each others' mouths, and then I let out a gasp of surprise when his hands slid down my waist, and rested on my hips, before moving slowly in.

"Starscream…" I murmured, as our bodies were somehow drawn closer to each other, and my own hands reached…willingly, wantingly…

Starscream's P.O.V:

Suddenly, all I wanted was to get those jeans off of her. To hold her close to me as I was inside of her, to have her purring my name like she was at the moment.

I didn't want her to stop saying my name, I wanted to hear her scream it.

I hadn't realised it was going to be this enjoyable. The clothes that we wore were soon discarded, and we were lying on the sand, her and me, her soft skin against my own skin, her fingertips raking against my back as I tasted the sweet human essence of her mouth, the taste of energy and something cold and fresh.

I suddenly noticed how tight she was, and I looked at her. "Are you a virgin?" I asked her.

She nodded, and then placed her hands on the back of my head, pulling me close to her and kissing me again. "But soon I won't be…" She murmured, and moved her hips upwards.

I took that as my cue, and moved in harder, enjoying the moan of pleasure that escaped from her lips, mingled with the gasp of pain that was soon replaced by heavy breathing as the climax drew nearer.

"Uh…Starscream…" She moaned, and I felt like all of my senses were on fire. The sight of her beautiful human body under my own human one, her deep, metallic green lust-filled eyes. The sound of her saying my name through her lips which were now captured by mine every so often.

And, most of all, the feeling.

"Louder…" I whispered to her.

"Uh-uh…harder…" She whispered back.

"Louder first…" I told her.

"Starscream…"

I went in harder.

"Starscream!" She cried.

In a shock of pleasure I realised how good this felt for me too, as she tightened, and I screamed out her name too as I went in for the final time, hardest of all.

She responded, and then we were both falling over the edge into pure bliss.

*

Starscream's P.O.V:

We both lay on our backs in the sand, she was breathing heavily, and my mind was a whirl of different emotions, namely the strange feeling I felt in my spark now.

Like something had changed, but I didn't know what.

I glanced over at her, lying on the sand staring up at the moon, her body a picture of perfect beauty like I had never imagined humans could have.

How could I have not realised this sooner?

I had gotten what I wanted, and the Princess and the power were now all mine.

I hadn't realised it would be so good getting them both.

Emma: …

Starscream: …

Meg: Okay, so, like, as I said, I'm no good at writing these sorts of things, so please don't judge me on that.

Emma: Who's judging?

Meg: So?

Emma: So what? … Oh, no, you can keep your tongue. I won't rip it out. This chapter wasn't so bad.

Starscream: …

Emma: He's speechless.

Meg: *Rolls eyes*
