Here's the second chapter. I know it's rather short again, but I'm still working on that. My muse is being rather stubborn. I hope you guys enjoy it though.

The sound of the door to their cell slamming open jolted Shade awake and she groaned. Her eyes snapped open as she felt Ghost being ripped out of her arms and Talon being torn away from her back. A snarl ripped from her raw throat as she felt herself being lifted and she tried to get free, even though she knew she was too weak. She hadn't eaten in a while, and the constant torture the doctors here called tests didn't help matters. The three of them were dragged out of their cell, Ghost and Talon barely even awake, and Shade assumed they were being brought back to their dissection tables again. Shade's eyes widened and she cried out as they were dragged passed the room with the dissection tables though. Her cry snapped Talon and Ghost awake completely, making them look around. Their eyes widened as well once they saw they had passed their torture room. There'd only be one reason for them to pass their usual torture room, and none of them liked it. Another door further down the hall opened, and the three girls were all tossed in and the door closed behind them before they could move. Talon and Ghost clung to Shade tightly, and Shade glared at the only window in the place. It wouldn't do any good to attack it though. They'd already learned that… it had a shield around it that deflected any attempts to attack they made. Ghost and Talon huddled together against Shade as they glared at the window, watching as the doctor behind it picked up a remote. Ghost and Talon tensed and squeezed their eyes shut as a surge of energy coursed through the room before hitting the three girls, making all three of them scream in pain. For a few minutes Ghost and Talon kept a tight hold on Shade before they finally released her, falling onto their backs and convulsing as the power surged through them. Shade followed them soon after, but her eyes never left the doctor. She kept glaring at him in hatred as the three of them lay convulsing on the ground. The slag-sucking glitch only pumped more energy into them, making them scream louder and tears began to pour from Shade's eyes. Oh Primus it hurt! She wanted it to stop!
"Tron! Please Tron, make it stop, make it stop! Spark, Tron, please!"
Both Ghost and Talon echoed Shade's last sentence, tears pouring from their eyes in utter agony as they convulsed on the floor.
Just hold on my Sparklings. Hold on just a little longer.
The three girls whimpered in pain but nodded slightly. Finally the energy being pumped into them stopped, and moments later so did the pain.
Do you wish to get out my Sparklings? Do you wish to be free?
Yes!
It was an immediate answer all three of them gave to the one they called Tron, one of the only two who actually cared for them.
Then free yourselves. Talon, my dear Sparkling, use your gift. Slaughter the fools that dare to harm you. Free yourselves my Sparklings.
Shade could see Talon's eyes glowing faintly. Now, normally she wasn't a violent person. She hated killing. But these so called doctors had pushed her and her sisters over the limit. From what little Shade remembered from being outside this place, doctors were supposed to heal. These guys didn't do that, they hurt. Talon and Ghost both looked at Shade, a question in their eyes. Narrowing her eyes, Shade nodded, and Talon grinned sickly, pushing herself to her feet just as the door opened. Moving quickly, she rushed the doctors entering the room. If one looked closely, they could see the nails on her fingers lengthen a bit and turn harder than steel as she struck out at the doctors, tearing out their throats in an easy strike. As Talon took down the doctors, Shade helped Ghost to her feet and the two of them limped after Talon as they supported each other.
Ghost and Shade limped after Talon for what felt like hours as she took out any person they came across. In reality, it couldn't have been more than twenty minutes.
Take a left here Sparklings. You'll be free soon.
All three girls sighed. They hadn't run into anybody for the last few minutes, but they were thankful they'd be free.
Thank you Spark.
Shade heard a light laughter in my mind and she looked at her sisters.
You're my Sparklings. Of course I'm going to help you. I just wish there had been another way… and that you hadn't been hurt so.
Shade smiled softly as the three girls stepped out into the sunlight for the first time in thirteen years.
It's okay Spark. It's not your fault, and it can't be helped. What's done is done. The past can't be undone, we can only look forward to the future and make a better tomorrow.
Such wise words for only a Sparkling. Be careful Sparklings. You're free now, but the world is a harsh place.
Take care of yourselves my Sparklings, and look after each other. We'll meet in the future, be certain of it.
Shade smiled a little and looked at her sisters, using one of the things they had picked up from Tron and Spark.
"Yes, we will. Until all are one Tron, Spark."
Ghost and Talon echoed her words and the three sisters quickly left the area behind, with only two voices echoing in their thoughts.
Until all are one Sparklings.
Until all are one my Sparklings
If anyone can figure out who Tron and Spark are, I'll dedicate my next chapter to them. I think Spark is rather obvious, and Tron really shouldn't be too hard to figure out... but my brother, who is an avid Transfan, had to ask me who they were, which is actually sort of pathetic.
