Dark Soul

CHAPTER SEVEN

"Mmm..."

Light.

Light was all that I could see as my eyes reluctantly opened to reveal a world of white. My mouth felt dry and parched while my body was sore and stiff. As if I had woken up from a very long nap. Something next to me twitched once, twice, and then three times while my fingers did the same.

Then my toes.

When I finally found the energy to move, I slowly sat up despite my body protesting not to.

GASP

The sudden sound caused me to turn my head in it's direction as I tried to focus my blurry vision on a yellow blob. Shaking my head and repeatedly blinking until my sight returned to normal, I looked back to where the weird blurry thing was and a girl was kneeling in its place. She had golden hair put up in two pigtails and big bright blue eyes that were filled with pure curiosity, wonder, and innocence. All she had on was a pure white cloth that reached her knees. The child tilted her head to the side, blinked a few times, before a wide glowing smile appeared on her face as she chirped out in a squeaky voice "Hi!"

I stayed silent as my mind processed what she was saying; the words and language foreign to me. The blond bit her bottom lip as her cheeks turned red while avoiding eye contact with me.

Is she ok?

"Um...", she started to anxiously play with her fingers as she focused her gaze back to me, "My name's Lily. What's your name?"

Something in my mind clicked and, just out of nowhere, I could understand her.

My heart started to beat in excitement as I went to reply but snapped my mouth in realization.

I didn't know who I was.

Or how I got here.

Everything was a blank.

A swallowed the lump in my throat as I looked down at my hands- only to notice that I had sharp black claws as fingernails. My eyes widened in confusion but I pushed that thought to the back of my mind for later and focused on the question that was recently asked of me. Frantically searching my brain for anything, when a single word, or name, popped up:

"V̸o̸i̸d̸."

Lily scrunched her face up and said, "Huh? What did you say?"

Hmm?

Did I not say it clearly?

I'll try it again...

"V... Void. M-my... name is... Void."

Within the Nemesis, a glowing green and blue portal appeared as Laserbeak flew out of it with an unconscious Void wrapped around in one his tendrils; tail hanging limply and motionlessly. The minicon started his journey to the Control Room; where Soundwave and Starscream waited for him and their 'guest'.

When he arrived, the SIC and TIC were already there; watching the video feed of the human taking down the two Autobots.

"If this fleshbag is capable of fighting off two mere Autobot pests, then just imagine what else it's capable of...", the seeker mused out with a malicious chuckle as the visor wearing mech silently turned around with his servo outstretched when Laserbeak entered. The metal aviary gently placed the ravenette onto Soundwave's palm as his digits curled around the tiny organic and immediately noticed the extra appendage connecting to it's spinal strut.
