Tears & Thoughts

*I don't own Transformers or anything affiliated with Transformers. I only own my original characters and plots. All rights go to Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg.*

The images were all so familiar, yet they were so foreign. The smoke, the fires, the charred bodies, the charred vehicles. People ran, but it wasn't for they're own enjoyment. They ran for their lives, they ran from the hundreds of mechs chasing them down and shooting at them, most of them perishing at the hands of the evil beings.

I hid behind a building column and watched as it all went down, the tears streaming down my face as I watched dozens of innocent people combust before my eyes. I wanted nothing more than to be able to help them, but if I wanted to stay alive, I couldn't do a thing about it. It was selfish, but I didn't care.

A very familiar cry sounded through the air as I sat, drowning out the sound of the gunfire and the crashing metal altogether. My body stiffened and I immediately scanned the expansive area for any sign of the source of the pained sound. After sifting my eyes through the numerous metal and organic bodies, my eyes finally fell upon a small body, one that I've watched grow over the span of five years. It was wrapped tightly in the arms of a man, only this was no ordinary man; this was Starscream's holoform. I met my baby sister's frightened, tearful eyes and she held her arms out to me, her small mouth moving. I was quite the distance away, but I could hear every word and the pain seeping out of her small form.

"Help me, Lea. Please, help me, sissy. They're hurting me."

The tears burned in my eyes as her words flooded into my ears. I immediately got up from my spot and ran over to Starscream's holoform, his amber eyes boring into my blue ones. A smirk played on the corner of his lips as he watched me run, sparking a bit of anger inside my body. I ran faster, my sister and Starscream getting closer and closer to me. Just as I was about to grab Annabelle from Starscream's grasp, I was stopped by what seemed to be some sort of invisible wall. I pounded my fist against the invisible structure in a lame attempt to destroy it, the pounding only getting faster as I listened to Anna cry in Starscream's arms.

"Let her go, please," I pleaded with him.

He lightly caressed my sister's face and I growled just at thought of his disgusting limbs on her. Anna continued to cry, her arms still reaching out to me, and I wanted nothing more than to take her away from him.

"Now, sweet Azalea. What fun would that be?"

"Please. I'll do anything. Let her go. She's done nothing wrong," I begged him.

He only laughed. "Yes, but you and your little mate are the reasons that she is here, young one. You can not save her, just as you could not save your precious friend Braelynn," he told me, his tone shifting to nothing but seriousness.

I gulped and placed my hand against the structure, my pained blue eyes melting in Annabelle's brown ones. Her crying never once stopped, but she calmed herself enough to utter a few last words.

"I love you, sissy."

A loud sob escaped my mouth and I pounded against the invisible force once more, pleading for my young sister's life. Starscream only smirked again and cupped his holoform's large hand around my sister's face. With just a flick of his wrist, my baby sister's body fell limp and my eyes widened in horror as he threw her to the ground.

"No! Annabelle, please," I cried as I dropped to my knees, placing my forehead against the wall.

"Aren't you forgetting one?" I heard Starscream say from above me.
