Moon

I feel him get up with Anti.

I went to get up, too.

I couldn't move.

Wait till I give you orders, Rat.

She's back...

I rise without my own consent, walking down the steps.

I keep fighting her, struggling.

I was still weak.

Stop fighting me. Or I make it much worse.

I ignore the threat, keeping up my stuggle.

Optimus and Bee step through the groundbridge.

The perfect audience.

"Smokescreen." I say, my vocal cords against me.

He comes over.

I instantly grow my claws, slashing into his side.

He crumples to the ground, Arcee saying "Moon!"

"Oh, I'm not Moon."

I feel my body go into a pitch-black room, forced to my knees.

The room was a little larger than I was.

I could easily sprawl out if I wanted to.

A screen appeared on the front wall, so I could still see what was going on.

Arcee points her blaster next to me.

The others follow her example.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

The walls shrink smaller.

As if the rest of the walls were lagging, the rest of the screens appeared, giving me a 360° view.

They all put away thier guns.

"Who are you?" Arcee asks, snarling.

"She might have told you about me."

Optimus slackened a little. "The Empress of the Sun."

She giggles. "So she did tell you all about me!"

S storms in, the kids hiding in a corner.

"Oh, just the shadow man I was looking for."

S snarls, eyes narrowed. "Let her go."

She chuckles. "Only if you give me the boy."

I shake my head no at him, and the walls shrink smaller and smaller.

The walls got so small I realized that my hands were a hologram.

"I can't do that." S says, walking towards me.

His eyes were icy, his claws and fangs growing.

She wraps her fingers around my throat, shooting into the sky.

"Or... If you can catch her before the fall kills her.... Shadow Man."

She tosses me up the rest of the way, my head almost hitting the cieling.

I don't scream as I fall.

I just fall, my head towards the ground.

I look at my hands again. I am in physical form.

I accept my fate.

I was going to die.

But the impact doesn't come.

I see a blur of black.

I get set down gently.

It wasn't Nightshade. I felt flesh instead of fur.

Everything is numb.

Everything is blurry.

I see four black wings above me, attatched to a thin frame.

Suddenly, everything snaps into focus.

It is S. He has a Double Set.

Two sets of wings.

"You see? He hid this from you. A thousand years he hid this from everyone. And do you know why, Half Moon?" The Empress asks.

"Enough." S says, spreading all four of his wings out.

"Be quiet." She snaps, looking at me with those gold eyes of hers.

"S? Wha-" I take a closer look at his feathers.

Both sets were different. Both sets belonged to someone else.

"Moon.... It's not what it looks like..." He says, holding me.

"What did you do? What did you do!?!?!" I scream, standing up.

"I.... I..." He looks away.

"Do you remember your parents? How they went missing? Well, he is the reason."

My parents....

I remember a black mass... Go right through them.

I remember them telling me to run.

"You... You killed them..."

"I did what I had to."

He comes closer to me.

I shove him away. "It was you? You did this to me?!?!?"

"Moon, they knew. They were going to kill you. Sell your body to the old museum. Or they were going to use you for..." He shivers.

They were going to kill me...

The memories I had just recovered fell away, revealing the truth.

My parents had a revolver to my head, forcing me to use my power.

The knew I was no longer human.

My father twisted my wing backwards, and I screamed.

A black mass ran into him, and he fell backwards, dead. Same with my mother.

"NO!" The Empress shouted, her claws going for his heart.

I step in front of him, the claws going into my chest instead.

Her claws shatter as they come in contact with my skin.

She screams, holding her bleeding hand.

I take my dagger, diving for her.

I slash at her face, at her neck.

I make my wings come out, using them to pin her down.

I put my blade close to her throat.

She coughs. "Go ahead. Show the monster you really are."

"If you dare come back to torture anyone that I love, I will not spare you again." I let her out of my grip, and she disappears.

I breath heavily.

Don't expect me to back down so easily.

Her voice echoed all throughout the base.

I glance at Anti. He was hiding behind Miko.

I go over to him, and he cowers more.

"Go away, mean lady!" He said, backing up to a wall.

He didn't realize who I was.

My heart shattered.

All the color in my life drained away.

I felt hands on my shoulder.

"Get away from me! Please... I don't want to hurt you..."

I ran through a portal I made, running and running and running.

I don't hear my name being called a thousand times.

I don't feel my soul being ripped apart as I kept running from the person that saved me right from the beginning.

I heard nothing.

Felt nothing.

I didn't even hear the sound of hooves behind me.

I throw my dagger belt on the ground.

I can't hurt anyone if I don't have a weapon.

I just keep running and running into my blurred surroundings.

I stop, next to a tree.

I climb all the way to the top, sitting on one of the thicker branches.

No one will find me here.

No one will come get me.

Everyone is afraid of me.

No one wants me.

No one needs you.

What a failure of a mother.

No one will come save you.

No one cares about you.

No one will come save you.

No one will come save me.
