A very special thankyou to WhiteOokamiKiss, Angelixlight and Sanefangirl for the wonderful reviews!

Autobot base: normal POV

Optimus couldnt believe his optics.

Starscream had taken Clem.

And he had just stood there, watching it happen.

Sighing warily he turned to another Decepticon, about to engage in battle, but to his immense surpirse - every single Decepticon that had been here, left as quickly as possible, some being taken down on their way out- and followed Starscream.

Ironhide came running up to Optimus, looking panicked and somewhat irritated.

'Prime! I told Clem to hide and then when I was looking for her I couldnt find her!' he sounded angry with himself.

'Ironhide...it wasnt your fault.'

'What?' he wasnt aware of Clem's disaperence.

'Starscream...he took Clem' Optimus said 'It was my fault, I saw Starscream and I just stood there...watching... ' Optimus was horrified with himself.

'Slag!' Ironhide shouted 'I was supposed to protect her! I was supposed to make sure nothing like this happened!' he punched a near-by tree and it fell to the ground.

'Ironhide you cant change what happened by acting like that, calm down! we'll find her.'

Ironhide sighed and nodded sadly.

Sams POV

Wow I've never seen Ironhide like this. He's so angry with himself.

Each time I walk past the shooting range I hear his most powerful weapons being used on poor defenceless targets.

I too, was worried for Clem, who knows what's happening?

AN: yesss who knows? oh wait, I do!

Clems POV

When the decpticon- Starscream I think, got far enough away from the base he transformed.

'You will get in fleshie.' he growls

'The hell I will.' I sounded braver than I felt.

'You will do it or I will blast you.'

'Okay okay.' I got in wondering what else I could do; I still had my gun, maybe that would come in handy. I slip the gun in my pocket for later.

As soon as I got in seatbelts snaked themselves around me.

'Hey!' I protested

'We cant let you get away now can we?'

As he said this he took off into the air and went so fast, I nearly threw up.

'Vomit and you die.' he snarled.

I dont reply, I was busy trying to get the wretched seatbelt off.

'Stop moving.' Starscream complained.

I didnt stop, so he tightened the seatbelt some more.

I was beginning to have trouble breathing because of the seatbelt.

About an hour or two later, Starscream finally starts to land and I begin trying to get the seatbelt off again. I knew where I was going, Starscream was going to take me to Megatron and something told me I wouldnt like that.

'Get out.' He ordered when we were on the ground.

'Uhh' I looked pointedly at the seatbelt which was still strapped tight.

'Oh.'

When he loosened the seatbelt enough for me to get out I did so and while he was transforming I took off running.

But I hadnt gotten far when another hand- slightly larger than Starscreams closes around me and brings me to optic level.

'Hmm so this is the fleshie?' I realize that this has to be Megatron and I fight the urge to whimper in fright.

'Unfortunately' Starscream replies.

'Take her to where she will be staying' Megatron orders.

He throws me at Starscream and I cry out in fear and shock.

Starscream sighs and catches me easily.

As he walks in I sit on his palm trembling and trying not to cry, I was so scared.

Why did I have to choose that tree?

When we finally reach our destination I balked, it wasnt a cage- not really, but close enough.

The little room was completely made of glass and only a little larger than a wardrobe.

Starscream pushes me in and walks away, quite obviously leaving it to Megatron to do all the talking.

Megatron walks over.

'I do believe you will come in very useful' he smiles, satisfied.

I begin trebling again.

AN : sorry short chapter... so I promise a nice long one next! As always please review I love reviews
