A/N: Mention of rape, abuse and other horrible mind-scarring subjects. Please be careful while reading.

Severus's POV

It has been two days since I had heard from my Shadow. I started to get worried, she wasn't answering, there were no notes left around my home.

I was praying to Merlin she was okay.

I was lost in thought about what might have happened to her, when I heard an Abnormally loud CRACK of Apperation.

I walked to my front door and saw an enormous black and teal robot and recognised them as Shadow.

But there was something odd, she had blue tracks down her face and she was walking with a heavy limp.

I watched as a soft, pulsing blue light surrounded her and she was back in her human form. I ran to her as she collapsed and i carried her to my room, her bags, two dogs and her owl trailing behind us.

I lay Shadow on my bed and took a glance at what she was wearing.

Black skinny jeans, a black half-shirt, cool black tn's, and a long billowing black cape.

She looked like a young version of me, the same clothing. But her clips were different.

They were a frozen steel with V.R.C scribed above a green snake. That would have cost her a fortune.

I lay beside Shadow and carefully moved her hair from her scarred face.

It was hours later that i heard it. A weak groan of pain.

"Severus..." Came a painstakingly soft groan.

"I'm here love, are you okay?" I asked in a soft worried tone.

"No."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Yes."

I was shocked when she said yes... She never did, so i sat curiously as she explained what had happened.

Shadow pulled me into the halls of her mind, using the key to unlock each door.

I entered and saw a small human babe with brown hair and milky brown eyes. "I was supposed to be human."

Then we entered another room, this time the young girl was sitting on her bed, cowering in a corner and being insulted harshly.
"Nobody loved me."

Another door was unlocked. This time the young girl was strapped to a table by the Decepticons and having needles jabbed into her. I watched as the, approximately 7 year old, girl squirmed and screamed, the memory fast forwards to a little robot, the same colours as my Shadow.
"They let it happen."

I was lead to another door, a teenage version of Shadow in her human form, bullies throwing her around the corridors, yanking at her tail, pulling the feathers from her wings, casting spells to cause pain.
"Nobody stopped them."

Another door unlocked. Shadow transforming when arriving at her home and bringing her friends with her, her Sire shouting at her, throwing a pile of owl letters at her. A look of realisation crossing her visor. Slapping her across the face with a sickening crack. Throwing her against the wall and roaring hateful words in her face. Shadow was looking for help and two larger red and blue bots removed the pitch black bot. Shadow running to her large metal room. The robot versions of her pets comforting her.
Her Sire entering the room and roaring about how useless she was and throwing her around the room.
"He didn't stop."

Another memory.
Shadow was running out of her home, transforming and calling for something called a 'groundbridge'. A large green vortex. Into a large metal throne room. On the Comms with me and the 'she-mech' annoying her. Then the mech dragged her into a room. I watched as he hurt her, tearing her insides, making her scream through the gag. I watched as two other bots enter, recognising Megatron and Soundwave after meeting them with the Dark Lord.

Another cut of a memory.
Walking through, what she called the Nemesis, and to the throne room and watching Starscream get what he deserved. Then him saying  "I know you're fragging your Potions Professor."
I watched as Shadow Summoned her stuff and saying good bye to Megatron.
"I should die, they're right, I'm not good enough."

I was shoved out of Shadow's mind and felt arms wrap around me and I held the young girl as she cried in my arms. Now I knew why she cried. Her pain, every time she cowered, every time she hid away. Now it all made sense as to why she had to leave early.

"I'm sorry. They won't hurt you again." I vowed, clutching at my special Cyber-Devil closer.

"Can i go for a shower?" She whispered softly.

"I'll run you a bath. Would you like me to join you?"

"Yes...Please?" Her whimper made me lower my head. I felt so bad that i wasn't there to help her.

I walked out to the bathroom and ran a warm bath. Walking back to my room, I lifted Shadow off my bed and carefully undressed her, placing her cape on one of the racks before allowing myself to undress and slide in behind her.

I held Shadow carefully and grabbed a bar of healing soap, lathering her before cupping my hands and washing it all off.

We lay in the warmth of the bath until it turned cold.

I carefully pulled Shadow from the water and wrapped her in a large fluffy towel and guiding her back to the room.

I lifted the suitcases onto the bed and let Shadow choose her clothes while i went to my dresser to choose mine.

After dressing and moving to the kitchen, i decided to cook dinner.

I pulled out a basic lasagne and stuck it in the oven, making mash potatoes and gravy.

I felt Shadow come up to me and hug me from behind. I carefully scooped my arm behind me and pulled her to my side, holding her close and not letting her go.

"Can I teach you how to drive a car?" Shadow asks softly.

"If it make you happy, I shall let you teach me." I speak, smiling down at her.

"Thank you Severus!" She beams suddenly, taking a sip of her Energon.

My eyes soften at the sight of her drenched wings and hair clinging to her face while she lounges against the bench.

I quickly dried Shadow with a spell and ruffled the now dry hair between her horns.

I made my way around the kitchen, grabbing plates and serving dinner and pouring myself a glass of wine.

"You want a drink?" I asked my Shadow.

"No thank you, I have one in my bag." She mumbles. "Accio Rum!"

I tilted my head and watched as a bottle of orange/red liquid enters the room and lands in Shadow's hands. She pours that, Energon and something called Pepsi into a glass and takes a sip.

"Mhm..." She sighs, "Just what i needed."

We sat down and ate dinner in silence before making our way to the lounging area where we pulled out a book and lay reading.

After an hour of two the book that lay in Shadow's hand slipped, landing on the floor with a soft thud.

I place my book on the coffee table and lifted Shadow off my lap, carrying her upstairs and placing her amongst my bed full of pillows.

I walked around the other side of the bed and lay down, pulling Shadow's back against my chest and slowly drifting to sleep.
