My cat is a human| an Optimus x Ratchet story

Chapter 4

Ratchet had fallen asleep happy. But that happiness disappeared. He had a dream of his past master, this memory was the day when he realized why he hated humans.

                    -In the dream-

"Good morning sir. What would you like for breakfast to start your day?" Ratchet said bowing. His body was full of bruises and whip marks. His collar was almost choking his to death. The tall man looked up from his newspaper. "I would like eggs, Edward (his old name), that'll be all." He said, then looked back at his newspaper. Ratchet (Edward) nodded and limped to the kitchen. The past day he dropped a plate and then got whipping that hurt like hell.

Ratchet (Edward) grabbed the eggs with shakey arms trying hard not to drop them. He cracked an egg and put it on the frying pan.

After that was done Ratchet (Edward) went to the cabinets that had the plates and bowls. He grabbed a plate for the eggs. But as he grabbed them they slipped out of his hands. Ratchet (Edward) jumped. He felt tears start coming down he tried to pick up pieces. Then he heard footsteps heading his way. Ratchet (Edward) shook in fear.

"What's going on in here?!" His master asked. Ratchet got up shaking in fear. "I-I dropped a pl-plate..master, please, don't hurt me. I-I didn't mean to." He said. But the man didn't listen to him. He grabbed Ratchet's wrists. The smaller male whimpered and sobbed loudly. He was pushed into a room. This room was where he would be punished in. He would either be hit with the whip, punched and kicked close to death, or even raped.

Ratchet sobbed. The man grabbed the whip and started whipping Ratchet. Ratchet screamed in pain. He cried loudly. 'It hurts.....why does it...? Father....why couldn't you have stayed alive? Why has Primus punished me?' He thought as he was continuously been hit and he screamed louder. His blood had already stained his back and whip.

Ratchet's soft skin was now bloody and bruised. Ratchet cried more. "MASTER PLEASE STOP! IT HURTS!" He yelled in pain. "Not until you've learned your lesson!" He said. "I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON! PLEASE STOP! PLEASE!" He pleaded. The pain stung. The whip stopped hurting him. The man sighed and he lifted Ratchet's head. "I'll let this slide since it's your Birthday, but that's it." He said. The boy nodded.

                     -In real time-

Ratchet whipered in his sleep. He mubbled in his sleep. Optimus woke up because of the smaller males mubbles. "Ratchet?" Ratchet's eyes were tightly closed. 'It hurts....Primus it hurts.' He mubbled. Ratchet's arms were hugging his body, where some of his wounds were.

Ratchet had been crying. Optimus shook him. 'Ratchet..wake up.' He whispered. His eyes opened. "Master? Master!" He said, he hugged the Prime. Optimus hugged back, he felt bad. "Shush, Ratchet it's okay, it's okay." He said in a calm voice.

Ratchet sobbed in pain. "What happened?" He asked. Ratchet hugged more tightly. "It hurt...my old master hurt me so much, I just had the worst memory." He said in a shakey voice. Optimus rubbed the other males hair. 'That bastard, how dare he? Ratchet, I'm so sorry, I promise, that won't happen again. I promise.' He thought. "I promise you Ratch, that won't happen again. You have my word." He said smiling. Ratchet smiled. "Thank you master." He said.

Ratchet sighed. "I love you...thank you again." He said. Optimus smiled. "I love you too Ratchet. And you're welcome." He said.

Ratchet fell back asleep. Optimus laid back down with Ratchet in his arms and fell asleep again. He smiled.

Optimus woke up, he looked down at Ratchet and smiled. He moved Ratchet to the side and got up. He yawned and opened the door. Ratchet stirred and looked at the Prime leaving the room. "Master?" He said. Optimus turned around. "What is it Ratch?" He asked. He stayed silent for a little. "Can I come with you?" He asked. The Prime smiled and nodded. Ratchet smiled and jumped off the bed and turned into a cat.
