Megatron's twin

8:Dark

"Terribly sorry. I didn't know the ground bridge led to your base... Perhaps Id be better of leaving." I suggested.

Arcee growled. "You aren't going anywhere Meg- Oh, its just you." She lowered her weapons slightly.

"Don't feel threatened all at once." I joked.

The Autobots wasted no time, and strapped me down to a berth before they moved me to a private room. I have had nicer welcomes, but then again, Iv'e had worse. Once they had me strapped down, they left to discuss in private. But they were louder than they thought.

"Why did he go into our ground bridge?" I heard Bulkhead ask.

"I believe he mistook it for his own." Optimus answered.

::Do you think well get information out of him?:: Bumblebee beeped.

"That would be implying that Megatron trusts him enough." Arcee said.

"Hey, you know I can hear you!" I yelled. Of course, my twin trusts me, maybe not my lack in urgency, but I tend to keep secrets well. My outburst went ignored, but soon I couldn't help but feel watched.

My optics explored the area, it was empty and boring. That was until I found a human glaring at me.

"About time you noticed me!" She exclaimed and waked further into the room, displaying her unique dress style and hair.

I raised an optics ridge. "You're not supposed to be in here are you?" I asked.

"Nope, bots told me to stay out of sight." She grinned.

"Guess you could say youre a rebel." I smirked.

"Yep!"

"Would you be 'rebel' enough to release me?" I asked slyly.

"Ha, nice try. I just wanted to see bucket heads twin." She laughed. "Whats your name? I keep forgetting."

"Quillux." I answered, grateful for the entertainment. "What's yours?" I questioned.

"Miko! So, what's it like being Megatrons twin?" She asked.

Before I could answer the Autobots came back. "Alright 'con- MIKO!" Bulkhead begun until he spotted Miko.

"What?" Miko attempted to act innocent. It didnt work.

"Out." He said.

"But-"

"Miko, it would be in everyones best interested if you left." Optimus said, leaving no room for argument.

"Fine." She huffed as she stormed out.

"Aww." I said sadly, getting the attention back to me. Optimus stepped forward, ready to begin the interrogation.

"Hey I aint telling nothin'." I warned in advance, "Don't get ya hopes up."

This was ignored.

"Where is the Decepticon warship located?" Optimus questioned.

I rolled my Optics. "I dont know."

"What do you mean, 'I dont know?'" Began Arcee.

"I mean, it's a ship." I started. "It's constantly moving."

The rest of the interrogation basically went like this. The Autobots wanting to know how far we are into decoding the Iacon database, and so on.

I yelded no information, I'm so fragging proud of myself. The Autobots began to leave for recharge until there was only Optimus prime remaining.

"It would be easiest if you cooperated." He said, still remarkably calm.

"I know." I nodded in agreement.

He sighed, "I'm going to recharge, it would be best if you were to do the same." He said.

"Alrighty." I said watching him as he left and the lights soon turned off. It was dark.

I glanced around the dark room. All light deserted, I attempted to pull my limbs close but was stopped by the restraints. I was scared of the dark.

I felt as if the dark was acid, melting my frame. Then memories came flooding back.

"Useless!" My carrier, Amora, screeched. She pushed me down, my small frame weak against hers. She slapped me again across my faceplate and I fell to the floor. "When I tell you to take out the trash you take it out!" She delivered a kick to my chest.

"I did." I whimpered quietly.

"Then why are you still here?" She snarled. I stayed quiet, not wanting to upset her. She grabbed my arm and begun to drag me to the store cupboard like she did many times before.

"No please." I pleaded, weakly struggling against her.

She threw me inside and slammed the entrance shut. I was left cowering in the dark, without the lamp I always recharged with.

My vents became came tight during the memory purge, I remembered I was in a unfamiliar place with unfamiliar bots.

I began to shiver although I wasnt cold. I let out a soft cry, hoping it wasnt heard.

Your useless.

A waste of space.

No one wants you.

It was as if the darkness was speaking, no positive thought surfaced. My optics began to leak, I shut them trying to forget. Be a goldfish!

I dont know how much time passed but soon I heard ped steps getting louder. I felt a servo rest on my shoulder pads and I opened my Optics. It was still dark but I could make out the frame of the bot.

"Are you alright?" He asked, his presence helping my fears slightly.

"N-no." I stuttered, trying to curl up again. He must of realized what I was trying to do because soon he undid my restraints.

I dropped to the floor and curled up. He crouched down beside me, "What is causing you this distress?" he asked.

"D-dark." I croaked out, I felt like I could tell him anything, forced or not.

"I'm sorry, all lights go out at a certain time, they will come back on in the morning." He paused. "For the time being would you like to come with me to the main room? It has some small lights."

That seemed better than the current situation so I nodded. He pulled me up and began guiding me to the main room. Soon we were surrounded by faint light but we continued to the berth in the medical bay. I sat down and looked up at him.

"Thank you Optimus."
