|3 days later|

I awoke to see Mistress NightShade sitting next to me, she sighed of relief and smiled. I noticed that we were in a grey room, I lay on a table with multiple needles going into my arms and one to my neck.

"Oh thank god you're alright, I honestly thought Shockwave had killed you." Mistress held a rag to the right side of my face.

It hurt immensely, I flinched and clenched my jaw to hold back a scream. NightShade backed off when I did. I noticed that I couldn't see out of my right eye, then I remembered what happened. Shockwave had shot me in the face.

"Nightshade...NightShade...NIGHTSHADE!!!!" I began to freak out.

She pushed me back down onto the table gently and shushed me, attempting to calm me down. I was sore almost everywhere so I reluctantly laid back down, beginning to hyperventilate.

"Calm down, kid. You're safe, I got you away from the Decepticons. You're in the infirmary on my ship." Mistress comforted me.

"B-but what about-" I started.

"Your planet?" Mistress sighed, "I'm sorry, but you can't go back. It's too dangerous for you to be there, if you did you would be either captured again or killed on sight."

I felt my heart break, I could never go back to my mother or home or anything I cared about ever again. The tears started streaming down my face.

"Kid, I'm so sorry but you can't go back. You could get shot again." Mistress said.

"Can I see the damage?" I ask.

"I don't know if that's-" NightShade began.

"Please show me." I interrupted.

She sighed and handed me a mirror and I took it, I held it up to my face and nearly dropped it when I saw the damage. The right side of my face was burned black and my right eye was completely gone.

"Kid, I tried to tell you." NightShade sounded sad.

"It's fine really," I lied as the tears continued down my face, "I just wish I could have my eye so I could see right."

"Hey! That gives me an idea!" NightShade jumped up and ran out of the room.

Now what could she possibly be doing? I laid back down while looking at my awful reflection, feeling horrible. I can't necessarily hide something like that, an eye missing and where I was shot. Mistress came rushing back into the room.

"Kid, I got you a new eye." She held up a little red orb in her hand, it was an eye similar to those Decepticons. I'm kinda freaked out to see her holding that honestly.

"Where did you get THAT from???" I asked.

"This con optic? I keep some con bodies for spare parts, and I've definitely needed them. Now would be a good reason." Mistress came over to me, leaning over my face.

"Now try not to move, I'm going to put the optic in." She put the red orb into my right eye socket.

This is so gross and freaky, I don't know if NightShade has ever done this before or if it will work. I'm just hoping for the best. Mistress was just messing with the eye or optic or whatever and I could suddenly see out of my right eye. My vision improved tenfold, I could see the in the most high definition.

"WHOA." I looked around the room, cautious of the IVs in me.

"Can you see well?" Mistress asked.

I nodded, "It's like everything is in HD."

Mistress smiled as I was looking around at everything. 

"Kid, my name is Mistress NightShade. What's yours?" She asked me.

"Spring." I answered with a yawn.

"How would you like me to care for you?" She asked.

I was so shocked. Mistress is willing to take me in as her own? I felt tears rolling down my face as I nodded rapidly, hugging her and beginning to cry tears of joy.

"Yes! Thank you." I choked up.

"No worries. This will be great I swear." She hugged me back.

I kept crying and hugging her, Mistress seems like a really nice person. Relief and happiness washed over me. It would seem that I have a new home, and a new person to call mom.

I heard my stomach growl, Mistress pulled away and looked at me really confused. I looked down at my stomach and held it, Mistress still looked really confused.

"What was that?" She asked.

"I think it was my stomach, I'm getting hungry." I said.

"Huh?" Mistress was lost.

Now I'm confused. Mistress doesn't know what hunger is? But she should be able to be hungry, right? I don't know who Mistress is so I'm not sure.

"Don't you eat food like other animatronics?" I asked.

"No I don't. I'm not like your kind, I'm a hybrid animatronic. You know, half Cybertronian half Animatronic? I'm half Autobot." Mistress said as she showed a strange looking symbol on her shoulder.

"Wow..." I said as my stomach growled again.

"Uh, what are you 'hungry' for?" Mistress asked me.

"Anything works, including that Energon stuff." I say as my stomach growled again.

"I got plenty of that, let me go get you some." Mistress left the room.

I laid back down and waited for her to return. I'm going to be living with a hybrid animatronic, still not very sure what that means but it's okay. I just hope I'll be safer from that Megatron and those cons.
