The Second Star

Chapter 12

I was told to change into a red striped shirt and dull pants. I refuse to get rid of my gloves, or my eyepatch. I put the eyepatch back on, relaxing slightly after knowing this is something my closest and only friend gave me.

"Excuse me, Exie?" i hear the lady ask. I look up, meeting the green eyed woman. "May i ask why you wear that eyepatch all the time?" she asks, and i narrow my eyes.

"Privacy" i say, going right back to silent. She gives me a sad look, before silently sighing in defeat, and walks out of the room she assigned to me. I sit on the floor next to the bed, and lean against the side, pulling out my phone. I just open my text chat with Abigail, and message her

"Hey" i send. She takes a bit before she sees

"Hi Star! You ok after being in captivity? I'm surprised you're allowed on your phone" she sends back, and i feel a smile

"I'm not OK. i'm in the 'care' of a stranger, and she's close with the Prime" i type, and she takes a while to type her message

"Well. i'd think there's a reason that they took you to her care. Close. May i ask how close? If she's his wife, there's definitely a reason. If you hurt her in any way, which i can't exactly imagine you doing, their daughter, and Prime will be PISSED. So don't hurt her unless you want to be hurt at all by any of the Autobots, more than emotional, which i'm sure has already happened by keeping you away from anyone you find close" she sends, and i blink, shocked. I take a second

"How did you think about that so fast?" i send, and she sends a face that looks like it's laughing.

"Exie, honestly, it's just logic. Do you think your side will be fighting back?" she asks, and i blink

"Knowing them. Yeah. definitely. Oh... i'm going to get in trouble just for missing Lord Megatron's training. Oh no" i send, in realization. I don't know what Master would do if i missed, even if i was kidnapped by the Autobots.

"Hey, i can try and contact them, i know that one who watches you is OK with me, so i can try to tell her what happened, but i don't know Where you are. Did they add a tracking thing to your phone?" she asks, and i blink

"Don't know. I haven't gotten any way to know that they know where i even am right now" i reply

"Hm. when i get off, i'll try to contact her" she sends, and i smile. Thank you so much Abigail.

"Thank you" i send, and she sends a smiling face before i click off my phone. I put my phone on the little table beside the bed, and get up, sitting on the bed. The bed is not as comfortable as my own, surprisingly. Gosh. Decepticons. Having a better bed than a human with the Autobots. Hilarious.

"Firewall!!!" a young woman called out, stepping back when a Decepticon she didn't know came out, glaring down at her.

"Insect" it growled, and she raised her hands.

"I'm just here to inform you all about Exie" she exclaimed in defense of herself. The Decepticon took a second. Before letting her in, mainly to see the young Techno-organic's father, and watcher.

"What are you doing in here?!" the one she was looking for yelped, transforming to a jet, and a holoform hopped out, hurrying to the human. The woman smiled

"I know that Exie is OK" she says, calmly. The holoform's eyes widened in surprise.

"What?! She is?!" she asks, catching the attention of the second in charge. He looked angered a human was in their base, but listened in

"She texted me that she was in captivity of the Prime's wife. I think they teamed up on her so that she couldn't fight. She hasn't been harmed physically. Just lonely, i think" she says, making both freeze.

"They. what" the large silver Decepticon growled once he had found his voice. She stepped back, raising her hands.

"That's just what she told me, and that i had assumed" she replied, and the femme Decepticon took a second,

"At least she's safe, although in the hands of the Autobots..." she grumbled, and the human nodded

"I'll be on my way home then" she says, before walking out. She went back to her place, and went in, petting the fluffy cat her friend helped pick out.

Three days pass, and i am bored. Super bored. What do i do? There's nothing for me to do except for talk with the human. Which. Ha. no. i sigh, curling up into a sulking ball. I refuse to speak to her. Not unless she asks me a direct question.

"Exie! Would you be able to come out?" i hear the lady call out. I shake my head, getting up, and walking into the main room. I blink, crossing my arms. She smiles at me.

"I was wondering when you'd stop sulking" she says, i assume as a joke. I narrow my eyes

"I can go back just as easily" i state, and she gives a guilty smile.

"I was wanting to know what deserts you like" she says, and i frown, confused. Deserts?

"I don't have deserts" i say, and her gaze turns to a pitying one

"Because you never got any when growing up?" she asks, and i close my eyes.

"I'm not dealing with all the pity" i growl, and go back, closing the door. I lean my back against it, and slide down along the wood. When i'm sitting, i lift my hands, turning so my palms are facing me, and i feel my daggers slide out. I just sit there, looking at the shimmering blades on my wrists. Still as beautiful as i remember them.
