Zara's New Life

Chapter 15: Nightmares & Warnings

I watched on helplessly as StarScream smirk at me and open fired upon the house in front of me.

"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" I scream, desperately trying to break free of the chains that bound me to the back wall of my prison cell. I tried everything my powers allowed me to do, even teleporting but nothing worked. I wanted to get to the house which was now rubble, I wanted to get to them, I wanted to know if they were alright. But deep down I knew what the answer was already.

StarScream had killed the ones I cared about. I thrashed against my binds, really wanting to get free but I stopped when a sharp metal claw was pressed against my throat.

"You couldn't protect them." StarScream said, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

"Stop." I said, not even a whisper. The claw left my throat.

"Do you really think that the Autobots are going to accept someone like you?"

"Please." I whimpered.

"Someone who can't even protect her own pod?"

"Stop it." I begged, tears running down my cheek.

"A murderer?"

"STOP IT PLEASE!" I screamed.

"Join us Zara and you'll become more powerful."

"Never!" I hissed.

The next think I knew , I was lying flat on my back on a concrete slab. Restrained at the wrists and ankles. There were red optics glowing in the darkness as the only light sours seemed to be on me and the faint chanting of "Join us" in the back ground. I stopped looking around when I felt something crawling on my legs. I looked to see what it was and it was the 'cons spider doc bot but he looked more evil. Fear spread throughout me and I began to breath quicker. The little bot came closer and closer to my face, I tried to break free or at least try and throw off the doc bot.

"This, we cannot have." He said and injected me with something in my thigh which paralysed me but I could still move my head.

The bot moved forwards and stopped on my chest with a needle in his metal hand that had glowing red liquid in it. I turned my head away but it was no use, the doc just turned my head back to him and lifted my chin up. I swallowed hard, breathing quickly through my nose, I was scared, I didn't know what was going to happen to me. I felt the needle prick my skin at the base of my neck, and as he injected the stuff, it felt like fire was ripping through my veins. I screamed and closed my eyes tightly as I fought off the stuff that was trying to take control. The chanting became louder and it took all my concentration to fight off the red liquid which seemed to be some form of mind control.

I panted heavily as the fire in my veins faded away.

"We cannot have that either." I heard the doc bot say.

I opened my eyes and looked to the bot, my eyes widening in horror when I saw him with another needle filled with the same red stuff as before. I knew I wouldn't be able to fight off this lot, the first lot was so strong that I only just managed to fight it off.

The bot lifted my chin up again, I closed my eyes, tears rolling down my cheeks, and whimpered. Waiting for the inevitable.

I heard footsteps coming closer and they were getting closer fast, as if someone was running. Then I heard the sound of metal hitting metal and the weight of the doc bot on my chest disappear. I opened my eyes, my heart skipped a beat at what I saw. I don't know how he got here or if it was even possible for him to be here. But he was. He pride apart the restraints with a crowbar and once he was done he threw it to the side and helped me sit up on the edge of the slab. I looked into his electric blue eyes with shock.
