[] Okay, I'm forcing myself to do this. Y'all better be happy, I'm stuffing my face with Reeses until it gets done.. I'm going to be such a fatty by the end of this. []

Warm yourself by the fire, son,

And the morning will come soon.

I'll tell you stories of a better time,

In a place that we once knew.

Before we packed our bags

And left all this behind us in the dust,

We had a place that we could call home,

And a life no one could touch.

It was cold.

The steel under me seemed to grow colder by the minute. It embraced me with that chilled sensation that burned like frost bite.

I couldn't remember…

My dreams had been coming in sequences, they had meaning. Speaking to me, trying to… Warn me?

Nothing made any sense. My mind was splitting, logical thinking was far from gone. Was I going insane? I shivered in my prison, it must had been longer than a day. There was no way. My stomach felt hollow, my head was beating like a drum.

War.

I could remember…

My hands gripping my blades, the sheer might of the steel cutting through flesh… No, this wasn't war. I was a prisoner, far from the battlefield. But so near to the battle. There was so much, so many lives lost. Risks taken, time killed. But did it have to do with me? Why was it all coming back now?

I heard the steady thumping of footsteps.

Starscream.

I opened my eyes, orbs drifting to the door where my prison keeper would enter. I would see those heartless red optics, and cruel smile. It twisted my nerves to see satisfaction in that face. The door hissed open revealing the Seeker that I had grown to hate with every fiber of my being. He gave me his cruel smile, strolling up to my cage.

"Good evening, White Shadow. It's time you have met with Lord Megatron." He spoke. Opening the cage he plucked me out, carrying me away from my prison. Then.. It was dark. He had cupped his hands together, preventing light from entering to me. I let out a gasp, heat caressing my body. His grasp, was so warm in fact, I felt sweat gather on my brow. I exhaled, collapsing in his hands.

"What's wrong with you?" I heard his voice mutter.

"You're.. So warm.." I managed savoring the sheer bliss of it all.

"What?.." He seemed confused..

…

Wait.

Logical thinking soon returned to me.

I was snuggling against a giant metal robot whom I happened to hate with a burning passion of a thousand suns.

Fuck.

I quickly jumped up, hitting my head as I moved.

"OWW!" I shrieked rubbing my head.

"What were you talking about?" He asked again.

"Nothing, Screechy." I retorted.

He grumbled, giving me a firm shake. I teetered around falling on my rump.

"Stupid robot.." I grumbled.

"What was that?"

I stayed silent rubbing my temples. I had to meet Megatron finally, Jesus this wouldn't be fun at all. Maybe fun wasn't the right word to describe this all.. (Okay it was hardly the word to describe it, shut up!)

I heard Starscream mumble something, too low for me to hear. His hand above me unveiled a very dim room. I rubbed my eyes to adjust to the light. Starscream's grin gleamed down at me.

"Enjoy." I tilted my head.

"What-" I was dropped onto another metal surface, my rump seared with pain.

"Fucking…"

"White Shadow.. We meet again at last."

Oh fuck.

I turned slowly looking into the bright glow of those blood red optics. A fanged smile greeted me, making my skin crawl. The mech's pale silver body resembled a corpse preserved in its cold dead glory. I scooted away from him, his digits meeting my spine. He roughly flicked his finger making me fall on my face.

"You've gone weak since we've last met, I'm very disappointed."

I snarled back at him, "This is our first meeting, Megatron! But you can thank your men for making me exhausted, or I would rip that damned grin right off your face."

He chuckled wrapping his hand around my frail body.

"Oh, how I missed that quick tongue. It doesn't surprise me that Barricade is so eager to dispose of you. However…" He leaned closer to me, his optics blinding me.

"You won't be so lucky to receive that fate." He whispered.

I cringed at his tone, struggling to get out of his grip.

"What do you want from me damnit?" I shouted.

He paused, his expression changing to very thoughtful, as if finding the right words to lash me with next. The mech smirked at last, his gaze burning into me.

"Where do you hide your secrets?"

No…

My eyes grew wide, memories flooding into my thoughts. His face. Those eyes.

"Dusk…" I whispered.

Megatron didn't reply. He just stared at me, the smug satisfied look on his face.

"Would I ever let you down?" He asked.

"Shut up!"

"I'll protect you.. Mai.."

Tears streamed down my cheeks, it all made sense now. His secretive persona, the way he talked, his eyes.

"You fucking bastard…"

"Dusk has missed you, Mai."

That son of a bitch.

[] I know its short, but hey. You wanted it you got it. For clarification. MEGATRON WAS DUSK ALL ALONG. Lol review![]
