Currently, I was pacing my room, trying to figure out what Optimus had meant by, "need to get my emotions under control" or whatever it was he had said. Ugh... I need some girls to talk to.

Wait...

A grin forms on my face. Miko and Arcee! Well, it'll most likely be Arcee since I'm pretty sure Miko still dislikes me. I quickly go and find Arcee, who was in the main room. I also saw Optimus there, but he was busy doing something.

"Hey, Arcee? Want to go on a drive?" I ask as calmly as possible, but it was hard, especially not with Optimus just across the room. I knew he was watching us, though I didn't know why.

Arcee smirked. "Sure, why not?"

We transform and drive out of base. We were just driving around the desert when I spoke.

"Arcee, I need help figuring out something that happened between me and Optimus..." I murmur softly, scared.

"What's up?"

"Um... I had a nightmare last night and he came and comforted me and then he stepped really close to me, and it almost felt like he was about to kiss me but then my cooling fans turned on, and he noticed that before telling me, and I quote, 'It seems you have a need to get better control of your emotions, Historia.' What the frag does that even mean?"

Arcee sighs... "well, for one, I think it means he knows that you like him. And two, I think it means he's warning you to not pursue these feelings."

I sigh. "That's what I've been thinking... but... it doesn't explain... these other experiences I've had with him..."

"Oh?" Arcee was curious now and when she was curious, there was no way of getting out of telling her. So, I told her.

"Well, you're certainly in some deep scrap now", Arcee murmurs.

"I kmow...  I just... I really like him and I know I shouldn't because he's my commanding officer, and we're in a war. I need to put these feelings aside and focus on our missions, but... I don't think I'd be able to... I've liked him for a long time now... probably ever since we've come to Earth. I've just... been able to ignore them..."

Arcee sighs, but before she could respond, we both received a message from base.

"Arcee, Historia, return to base", Optimus says. Arcee affirms that we are on our back. A few seconds later, however, when the communications link was closed, Arcee chuckled.

"Just so you know, you forgot to make sure I didn't have communications links with anyone", Arcee murmurs. "Optimus heard everything."

I felt my cooling fans shoot up to the highest setting. "You serious?!"

Arcee chuckles. "No. I was just messing with you."

I let out a breathe of relief, and Arcee laughs. "We should do this more often."

"Yeah, yeah", I mutter.

We arrive back in base where the other bots were waiting for us.

"What's up, guys?" I ask as I transform.

"We have located an energon mine", Optimus rumbles. I blink.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" I exclaim with a grin.

I see a brief smile on Optimus' face, before he tells Ratchet to start up the ground bridge. As soon as it's open, we all transform and roll out.

However, almost as soon as we were in the mine, energon blasts came towards us.

"Woah!" I exclaim, dodging out of the way before pulling out my own blaster. "Looks like they were expecting us!"

"Indeed", Optimus murnurs before charging into the fray, me close behind him. We were causing all kinds of damage when I was suddenly grabbed around the waist by someone slightly taller than me.

I let out a shriek of surprise, and upon hearing the laughter coming from my captor, I froze. I looked down at the arm around my waist, and recognized the silver and purple color scheme.

Megatron.

I immediately started struggling to get away, but he held on fast. "Oh, Historia. You should know by now that you can't escape from me."

I looked around, trying to see if I could do anything to help myself, when I saw the one bot who I knew could take down Megatron.

"OPTIMUS!!!" I scream. I see him look in my direction, and his eyes widened. I heard Megatron growl as Optimus came running towards us, destroying any vehicons that got in his way. While Optimus was still a good distance away, Megatron pointed his cannon at my helm. I could feel tears escaping my optics.

I watched as Optimus froze coming towards me. I stared at him fearfully and was surprised to see Optimus' optics reflecting my fear.

"Let her go, Megatron", Optimus growls. Megatron only laughed.

"Why should I?" he sneered. I quietly sobbed not wanting to be in Megatron's grasp any longer. However when a ground bridge opened up behind Megatron, I knew that was not going to happen.

"Megatron", Optimus growls again. Megatron only smirks at him before backing away into towards the ground bridge.

"OPTIMUS!!" I screamed. "Don't let him take me!!!"

I could see the regret in Optimus optics just before he disappeared from my view.

I was now stuck with Megatron. The mech who broke me. And I had no means of escape.

"What to do with you?" Megatron smirked. He twisted my body so I was facing him, and pulled me flush up against his body.

"Please, Megatronus... let me go..." I whispered, using his old name.

I felt a stinging pain across my cheek as he slapped me before pushing me down onto the floor.

"Do not call me that", Megatron growled.

"Just please... let me go..." I whispered. "Please..."

Megatron only ignored me as he grabbed my arms and dragged me to a prison cell. "You'll stay here for now."

Soon, I was hanging from the ceiling, my arms being the only thing holding me up.

"Perfect", Megatron grins. "Now... what information do I want first?" He pretends to think. "Oh yeah... how about the Autobot base?"

"I will never betray my friends", I spat, trying to muster up the courage. My courage failed me however, when Megatron got thos gleam in his optics.

"Very well. Looks like we have to this the hard way", Megatron growls before grabbing a drill looking thing. He pressed a button and began to drill into my lower chassis. I couldn't keep back the scream of pain. Megatron paused for a bit before asking me the same question.

"Where is the Autobot base located?"

I grit my teeth together. "I will never tell. Even if it's the last thing I do, I will never betray my family. Not like you did."

Megatron growled angrily before activating his blade and cutting a design on my leg, slowly and painfully.

"Tell me where the Autobots are located", Megatron growls, before moving over to my other leg and putting the same design on them. My body was in excruciating pain and I was screaming in pain.

Megatron paused again to allow me to answer.

"You can break my spark, Megatron. You can torture me, you can beat me up", I growl. "One thing you cannot do, is get me to betray my friends."

Megatron growls angrily and takes his sword and plunges it into my chassis, dangerously close to my spark. I screamed as I felt it enter my chest.

"Now you will bleed to death", Megatron growls. I cry out as he pulls the blade out of my chassis before starting to breath heavily, even if I don't actually need to breathe. I was in pain, and that pain was causing me to pant. Suddenly I heard gunshots coming from somewhere in the ship.

My helm was lowered but I raised my head up at this sound. I was quickly losing energon, and I knew I was going to bleed to death eventually.

Megatron growls before exiting the room. I lowered my head back down as some of the firing quiets down. My head however shoots up when the door opens and I see Optimus standing outside it.

"Optimus..." I wince. "You're... here..."

"Anything for you, Historia", he murmurs as he releases me from my chains, leaving me in a crumpled mess on the floor, unable to get up.

"Optimus... it hurts..." I whimper.

Optimus doesn't say anything but picks me up, and calls to the other Autobots. "I have located Historia. Ratchet, open a ground bridge."

A ground bridge opens nearby as Optimus runs out of the room. I see three other Autobots run into the groundnridge and Optimus is about to when Megatron stops him.

"Optimus, I do believe you are leaving with something of mine", Megatron calls.

"Historia is not yours, nor will she ever be, Megatron", Optimus growls.

Megatron laughs, before looking at me. "She'll always be mine. Won't you, sweetspark?"

I only whimper and turn into Optimus chest slightly.

"Leave her alone, Megatron", Optimus growls, pulling me closer his body.

Megatron laughs. "I've never seen you so protective over a femme before Optimus. I'd go as far to say you even cared for her. Cared for her as more than just a teammate."

Optimus stiffens at those words. I could feel myself losing consciousness.

"Optimus... I'm going to take a little nap", I whisper, closing my optics.

"Historia, stay awake", Optimus orders, causing me to open my optics. Megatron had gotten closer, but the ground bridge was right behind us. Optimus turned tail and ran through, quickly taking me to Ratchet.

Ratchet assured everyone away from me, and as Optimus was stepping away, I started speaking.

"Optimus, do you want to know why I like history so much?"

Optimus hesitates from leaving before turning to face me. "It has caught my curiousity."

"Everybot has their own personal history. It explains why they act the way they do, their personalities, everything about them. That's why I like history so much..."

With that I drifted off to sleep.
