《(Old) The Time of Night is Midnight》Chapter 36
Advertisement
Ever since knowing Jasper is really working with the Cons to get to me and capture me once more, I have been afraid to leave the berthroom of the twins. Being alone in the Med. Bay, when Ratchet had to leave me or even at night when Ratchet left for his berthroom, was too much for me.
At any moment Jasper could appear out of nowhere, destroy the Autobots without a second thought just to get to me, and take me back to their base to do whatever they please as punishment. Both twins have tried on multiple occasions to attempt me in into telling in what's going for my different personality now. I will admit my actions have been way out of normal for me and have been acting with more than normal.
It wasn't much of a choice for me as since the sight of Jasper has kept me awake and my wounds healing quickly sucking up my energy. Sleep was absolutely needed for me to continue functioning properly or when another battle does happen and they need my help to defeat the enemy, I won't be able to do my job to protect the fragile humans that can only protect themselves with a gun.
Fighting it wasn't doing me any good and continuing to use up my energy at each day I don't rest. It also felt as it something was pulling me like how Unicron did when he told me some empty threats for the fun it.
Finally, after day three of fighting it, sleep grasped me tightly, not letting go, and dragged me down with it. I entered the inky darkness of the familiar realm and gladly wasn't chained up this time after their failed attempt to hold me and to control like some puppet.
Again with this bullshit of bringing me to the dark realm by the gods of Cybertron. What do they want with me now? I haven't done anything out of the ordinary for them to call me here.
Their forms appear in a flash in front of me, causing me to use my hand to block the brightness of both of their appearance. Why were they being so forward about whatever is happening?
Moving my hand out of the way once the flash went away, I give them a look saying 'what is it this time?' and crossed my arms over my chest. "What's the point of this meeting or are you guys in need of some company?" I nonchalantly threw out there while keeping my gaze on them, altering between the two of them.
Not even a second later, Unicron 'tch' and also crossed his arms over his chassis like me while turning his gaze from to stare into the darkness that surrounds all three of us. "," Unicron insulted like a two-year-old not liking their babysitter.
Unicron's brother smacked him on the chassis with the back of his servo like brothers would do. "'," Primus warned (I guess all siblings have nicknames for each other, including me and my brother) before turning his gaze to me and replacing the small glare on his face to a kind smile. "."
Rolling my eyes once more and setting a glare on the large blue and silver bot in front of me, I scoffed while gazing into the darkness and keeping my gaze off of Primus. "You never told me a date or time period of when I needed to get it done and I don't see a reason on why they 'need' to know that sensitive information. It's not like they have told me about their past so why do I have to tell mine."

"And we aren't really together in the first place. All of three of us are on the fence about each other since I did go and ruin our friendship. I think it would useless to tell them something about me when they haven't told me anything about themselves." That wasn't fully true, they haze spoke little about their lives when we did go on a couple of our drives.
"," Unicron sassed like the bitch he is. I return my gaze up to them, this time staying on the sassy bitch named Unicron.
"I don't really want to have a relationship with them. In the first place, I wouldn't even know how to do relationship things with them and would be failing at every turned corner. Remember, I have only read books about it and I know that isn't really how it works. I'm literally a virgin in everything romantic and would totally fail if I dare tried. I have failed myself enough that I rather not do it again."
"Would it even work between an organic and a Cybertronian? We're both different by a long shot and Ratchet is beyond shocked by our bond," I commented with my mind pondering would it work in the first place.
"," Primus spoke in a calm manner, not raising his voice or letting his emotions get in the way.
The brightening of the yellow next to me caught my attention; both of the orbs were very dim, telling me they were recharging. But now with Sunstreaker waking from his recharge, I didn't know if he could feel or sense me in the realm and if he could, he would freak out and attack anything dangerous. He did that to poor Shawn and Kollette once and scared the living shit out of them.
Primus smiled softly at me and dipped his head as a farewell; it was time for me to leave and head back to the real world. His brother glared slightly playfully in my way and it surprised he could show emotions outside of anger and hatred. Nodding my head back to the both of them, I let myself to fall back into the light of the real world.
My eyes turned to gaze at the moving and awaking form of the yellow frontliner. Carefully lifting my upper body up as I'm on top of a rafter, I stretch out all my lips and receive satisfying pops in my joints. A sigh is released in content from the relief of popping my joints gave me.
A heated glare could be felt on my back and I returned my gaze on Sunstreaker. "How many times have I told you not to do that? It's disgusting how your body makes those noises," he complained quietly as not to wake up his twin. Smirking with knowledge of how to piss him off just for the fun of it, I shrug my shoulders and turned away, acting like a totally bitch.
Over the bond, I could feel his frustration literally pouring over onto my and Sides side of the bond. "Calm down honey or you're going to wake Sides up," I sweet talked him. The heated glare returned to my back but this time filled with more fire to aid in its punch.
"I don't care if he wakes up, he'll be on my side in the first place," Sunshine growled with anger dripping in his voice. I turn around as the noise of his pedesteps was heard and my eyes see him making his way towards the hangar door. Fear rushed through my mind at the thought he is going to leave me and I jump down from the rafters; about to make my way towards him while hovering in the air, I stopped myself from making myself a fool in front of.

But my voice didn't get the memo and called out to him. "Wait! Please don't leave," I nearly cried and was able to get the patheticness as low as possible. He stops in his tracks and turns around to face me. What surprised me was the slightest hint of him wanting to come over to me and sooth me, his frame and optics told me all of it.
"Why don't you want me to leave? Sides is still here," Sunstreaker tried to play it off like it was never there yet my eyes saw what they saw. He's right Sides is still here, recharging, but it makes me feel so much safer if both are in my sights or near me. I'm not being a controlling bitch; I trust them and would rather have them both near me, that's all.
Nervousness boiled softly in the pit of my stomach, I didn't want to tell him my reasoning as it shows that I'm scared. Face everything and rise or forget everything and run. It might be the death of me; the first one is what I chose. "Please don't leave, I'd-I'd rather have both of you around then just one, I'd feel safer," I explained with my famous dragon eyes out for show.
He contemplates whether to leave me or stay by the look on his face and it seems he chose the latter, that's good for me. "Fine but it's by my choice in the first place and your puppy eyes don't work on me. I didn't really need to get anything in the first place," he lied and used an excuse; I didn't press on the matter though, just in case it would give him cause to run tail and walk out the hangar door.
"D'aww, you guys are so cute," Sides speaks up out of nowhere. Twisting around in the air to face him as if he was an attacker, I bare my fangs at him but quickly realize he isn't a threat to me and lower my guard. "Whoa Night, nothing to get too riled up about. Anyway, you guys want to go for a drive or what humans call a date. To, you know, get to know each other better."
Tilting my head to the side at his sudden offer and slightly suspicious of the weirdness of his words, I glance over to Sunstreaker then returned my gaze to Sides and shrugged my shoulders. "Why not? My wings are in need of a good race against someone who can match their speed," I taunted before heading out one of their opening windows as the hangar door was closed.
My ears caught the sound of Sides calling out to from inside of their berthroom, attempting to stop me from going any further. I did stop to hover in the air and wait patiently for them to open the hangar door and catch up to me.
They exit, transformed down into their sleek alt. modes, and raced towards the only exit of the base. I followed closely behind, only being about five feet above them, making sure to keep enough distance to make a full down stroke and keeping me in the air.
After having to slowly follow them as they took their time over the potholes of the dirt road leading to the main, paved road, we all took off to the right towards Idaho with great speed. The twins didn't give a shit about the speed limit and could easily out speed any cop car at any time. It would be funny to see a copper try to keep up with them; the copper would fail without a doubt.
The both of them were forced to slow down as a tight turn came up and they would have flown off the mountain side if they didn't; which means, I had to slow down and go with the flow with them. The wind was in ears nearly the entire time and couldn't hear very well yet at the exact moment I slowed down, my ears caught the sound of a voice I wished never to hear again.
Everything in my body told me to turn tail and run but curiosity drew me in like a piece of cheese on a mouse trap enticing a mouse. Turning my direction towards the noise while making sure to keep any noise silent, I fly closer and closer until reaching where the noise emitted from and landed on the snowed ground.
A large cave stood half way in the ground in front of me with many human footprints (including Cybertronian by the looks of it) covering up my own. The cave reeked of many humans not showering for many days and something else my nose couldn't put a finger on. The cave looked slightly manmade by the looks of it and I'm guessing it is.
Over the bond, both of the twins questioned (quite loudly I might add) about my disappearing act on them. I ignored them, they weren't very happy about that, as they would distract me from doing my focusing on sneaking around and quickly took off my clothes. I hide them in a nearby fallen tree to keep them out of sight and camouflaged my scales to the background so no one could see me.
My feet made no noise as they carried me further down the creepy tunnel of doom and into a huge underground base filled with Jasper soldiers. Dread rushed through my veins at the sight in front of me and my body wouldn't move one centimeter, even if I tried my hardest. A lump formed in my throat and a thought appeared in my head, this is how it all ends. Me walking into a trap with hundreds to thousands of Jasper soldiers poorly trained to kill.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, my body unfreezes itself and makes the quietest breaks for it towards the exit. No one there even knew I was there and I took off into the air, leaving my clothes behind as I rushed back to the base. Never again in my life will I ever leave the base.
Ever since realizing there was danger around the corner, near my safe place, I have yet to leave the twins berthroom to do anything human nature, especially eat as it has been over a week since I have last eaten anything. Both of the twins have noticed the change in my demeanor and have questioned me about it a lot, attempting to figure out what happened to me that day. It was supposed to be a good, happy day but curiosity killed the cat, didn't it?
With them both annoying me every second about it, even over the bond and it was getting too much for me. Some things were spilled to them, not all of all of my past was told to them, only the main parts: about the arena and that I was forced to kill there, how my mother did this to me, and a tiny part of the experiments they performed on me and others at the main compound.
By telling them, they have been on guard and always having one around at all times. It's not like I'm complaining about them making sure to watch my back at every second, it was just getting too claustrophobic for me to handle. I went to Optimus and asked him if I could watch over the 'secret' base of Jasper.
Optimus was more than happy to send me instead one of his soldiers to fight them demons on my own. I didn't care though; it was something I'm used to, being a pawn in a game. During my entire life, I have only been a pawn, unable to control my own life even if I wanted to; I couldn't with two gods breathing down my neck.
It was fine watching over them for a couple of days, to see what they are up to. Until it was my fifth visit at the lovely base of Jasper when they must have seen me one of the times and were ready for my arrival.
My nose smelled the danger before it could get near me and I attempted to dodge the bullet, I wasn't quick enough. The Red Beryl bullet struck my wing membrane and caused a load of pain to arise from the newly made wound that would be lethal to me in the end.
Without another thought about exposing myself even more, I rushed out of the cave and into the midnight blue sky for safety. My wing was starting to feel numb three/fourths of the way to the base and kept trying to drag me down to the ground with it. I didn't let it though and forced myself to continue onward, back to the base where Ratchet can hopefully save me.
Arriving at the base and attempting to walking on my legs to get inside of the Med. Bay was a bad idea, my legs failed me and I fell to the ground. I cried for the help of Ratchet, praying he could hear me before the darkness could fully take over my vision.
Hopefully, luck was on my side as my body became numb and darkness captured my vision. Before it did, Ratchet couldn't be seen and I sent one last prayer for him to get his ass over here. I was drawn back into a place I rather not be but no gods of Cybertronian showed up to sassy me about my life decisions.

The Deathseeker [Under Revision]
NOTE: This story has dark elements, but it's neither grimdark nor particularly edgy. It's also currently being revised. Satan's Axe...Lord of High Honor...The Immortal Giant...The Black Maelstrom...Son of Thunderfield...The Gods' Retribution. Dalric had many names. None were as fitting as his last, Dalric the Deathseeker. Born from an unwanted mating between the greatest warriors of the time, death was his only true kin. It birthed him, molded him, and now standing in the middle of a lifeless battlefield, it drenched him. The blood of thousands of soldiers soaked his skin. Two hundred thousand men approached him that day. All of them sought his life, none of them left with theirs. But they would not die in vain, they had accomplished their mission. Hidden beneath a thousand layers of their blood, was Dalric's very own. Feeling his life fade, he gazed weakly at his work. A seemingly endless array of corpses laid battered and disfigured before him. Some bore faces of horror, most had no face at all. His most trusted companion floated in front of him, blocking the view. Waves of sorrow flowed between them. “My time has finally come. I’ve begged for death and it’s finally arrived. My work is done...and so is yours. You’re free to be who you were meant to.” With his contract with the gods fulfilled, they were truly free. The centuries of torment would end. No longer would they have to walk the path of a monster. Little did Dalric know, the devil was in the details. What To Expect: A good time. In a few more words than that, a cast of believable characters in a unique world dealing with conflicts and problems a little bit more complex than punching the big evil guy in the face. Just a little though. Minimum Word Count a Week: 5000 Release Time(s): Between Friday 12pm EST and Monday 6am EST I also write A King in the Clouds
