Starlit's view:
Prowl has been weird all day. My little project I had made worked and I was flying it around the tree. The little creature had wings and looked what could resemble an Earth beetle on high grade energon, or steroids as Sari put it. While it was flying it accidently hit Prowl in the shoulder while he was meditating. I know he hated me bugging him during that, but I didn't mean for it to hit him.
"Starlit!" He growled. I shrank back, scared of my big brother for the first time since I met him. "What did I tell you about bugging me while meditating?" he said holding my little bug in the palm of his hand.
"I-I'm sorry Prowl. I was testing it out before I showed Sari and Bee." I said avoiding optic contact.
"Then next time go else where…" he sighed.
"But Prowl I don't want anyone to it see yet!" I said sounding like a sparkling, but it wasn't ready till now.
"Starlit just…ENOUGH!" He snapped and clenched his fist, crushing my bug. My spark sank as I watched small pieces fall to the ground. My beetle was beyond repair.
I felt my optics start to tear up and ran out of the room, almost colliding with Jazz. He said something to me but I didn't hear him.
"Hey Starlit wanna…Star?" Bumblebee started to say as I ran out into the living room. I ignored him and ran outside, activating my wheels and leaving.
Prowl's view:
I watched Starlit leave and realized what I'd done. I looked at the floor and sighed, looking at the broken bug.
"Prowler? Hey, what's wrong with Sta'? Did something happen?" Jazz asked as he walked in. I barely heard him as I was lost in my own thoughts.
"Yeah…um, I kinda…freaked out." I said monotonously. "I…ugh, I can't explain."
"Prowl…I know I'm leaving but it's no reason ta take it out on ya sister." He said hugging me from behind.
"I know…did you see where she went?" I asked. He shrugged but decided to start in her new room. She had been allowed to stay in there once more since the tree branch had fallen.
Starlit's view:
I wasn't sure where I was going but I knew Prowl was mad and didn't want to see me. I also didn't want to be near him right now. I finally stopped somewhere in the middle of the city. Where that was Primus knows. I sighed and deactivated my wheels and decided to walk around. It was getting dark but still light enough for none of the street lights to come on, so I was ok until then. People didn't seem to mind me just walking about either.
Back on Cybertron no femmie was safe no mater what time of day in the city. At least from what I remembered.
Hey, I remember something! Oh slag…I remembered something! Instantly I was on my knees holding my head and trying to get enough control to call someone.
"Hey you've reached Bumblebee!" a cheerful voice chimed.
"B-Bee, help!" I said weakly before blacking out.
Prowl's view:
We searched the whole base for hours looking for Starlit. We got the others to help as well, with the exception of Sentinel Prime who thought it was for the best. The jerk didn't even let us have the twins, who were worried too, help out.
I was feeling terrible about what I had done. She told me it was an accident and I crushed her spark like her little flying toy.
"Hey you reached Bumblebee!" I heard Bee chime and though it was Sari calling. I was about to tell him to get back to work finding Starlit when his face dropped. "Starlit? W-where are you? Hold on we're coming!" he said looking at me with a panicked look.
"Where is she?" I cried.
"Found her! She's in the city." Ratchet said from near the monitors. On the screen was a red dot indicating where she was.
Starlit's view:
"Starlit what are you getting into?" I heard a femme's voice. I looked as saw a blurry image of somebot I knew but couldn't pin point. "You silly little sparkling, you're covered in dust." She laughed. Her laugh filled me with warmth; it made me feel safe. The images blurred like a tape being fast forward.
A bang was heard and she looked startled. She picked me up and quickly shoved me into a closet. "Stay here, don't make a sound." She cooed and shut the door.
I heard arguing and a sound of metal hitting metal. I heard a scream only to find it was mine.
"No! Please! Leave her alone!" The femme screamed.
Prowl's view:
We followed Starlit's energy signature but we where too late to stop the glitch. "Starlit!" I cried as I transformed and ran to the quivering form. Her eyes where white and she was whimpering in pain.
"Leave her where she is!" Ratchet said moving me aside to scan her. I was worried by the fact she wasn't responding to me like last time. "Hey kid, can you hear me?" he asked only to get a whimper in reply. "Slag...her memory processor is going crazy...you know if somebot tried to delete something?"
He had a point. It was hard deleting that information and could cause a similar trauma to this. I wondered...
"Not us." Jazz sighed. "Poor spark..." He was answering Ratchet but somewhere in the back of my processor I wondered if Sentinel had. "She was mostly by my side the whole time. 'Corse she did tag along wit the twins from time to time..." he said thinking back. I knew the twins wouldn't have hurt her. They seemed to care for her as if she was their sister as well.
"Was not us." Jetfire said landing near by with his brother Jetstorm. Seems they were able to escape Sentinel and come help after all.
"Now what in sparks sake are you two doing here?" Ratchet growled in his usual grumpy way.
"Got distress signal near by." Jetstorm shrugged. "Was it her?"
"But she called me!" Bee crossed his arms and huffed. "She asked for my help!"
"Oh shove it up your exhaust port! Are you a medi-bot?!" Ratchet shouted, finally blowing a gasket. "Now those of you not directly related, get out of here before I kick your skid plates across town!" That did it and the three younger bots transformed and roll out of there.
"Woh there Ratchet, you ok?" Jazz asked, taking a small step back. "They just wanted to make sure our little femme was a'ight." he stopped when the hot headed mech turned to look at him.
"You want a threat too?" Jazz shook his head and was quiet the rest of the diagnostic.
Once back at base Starlit came too and was quite confused on how she got there.
"Where...how did I get here?" she asked me, looking slightly like what Sari would call a kicked puppy.
"You called me and said you where in trouble." Bumblebee said proudly. Why on Earth she had called him was beyond me.
"Huh?" she said tilting her head.
"That's what I said too." I smirked, receiving a glare from the yellow mech. "Why did you call him?"
"It's organized alphabetically, he was the first on the list." She shrugged. I nearly face palmed. "What? It's true."
"The visions kid, what where they this time?" Ratchet interrupted before I could retort.
"Um.." Starlit suddenly clamped up and got nervous.
Starlit's view:
I didn't want to say anything. The angry voice sounded like Prowl in the vision but I knew it wasn't. He was on Earth during that time. Then who was it?
"Spit it out kid!" Nice bedside manner medic...
"Um...a femme in pain; I think it was my creator..." I trailed off. I honestly couldn't tell. I tried to remember everything.
"No! Please!" I heard the femme's voice call. I felt my spark drop as the mech that was hurting her wouldn't let up. There was energon and oil leaking out of the femme's wounds.
I opened the closet door and yelled, "No! Please! Leave her alone!"
"Starlit!" The femme looked up at me with fright as tears started building up in her optics. I froze when I realized I was in grave danger. I looked over and saw red optics glaring at me.
"Foolish sparkling, you should have listened to our creator."
I gasped in realization of who was the bot was that hurt her. "I-it was..." I looked at a concerned looking Prowl who happened to be sitting next to me. I flinched and moved away.
"Y-you killed her?!" I cried out, surprising everyone in the room.
"What? Killed who?" Prowl asked and started to walk toward me. I backed away and right into Prime.
"Our creator..."
