The Intergalactic Highway

The chicken that the black femme was holding was dead. Starshadow poured her favourite drink all over it and handed it to Glowstick. "This is what I call, Deliciouss..." she smiled at him. The femme wondered if Rampage would love the smell of blood. So she poured more over the dead little chicken.

Saber's ears twiched and she groaned, she knew that sound any where and of course Rampage brust into the tavern his emerald optics wide with the smell of blood, he spotted Saber and his blood lust vanished and he went over to his bond mate. Saber made room for Rampage and gave him her drink then looked over at Starshadow and smiled at her.

Starshadow was smelling the blood of the chicken.
"Hmm...No. Definitely not my type...I want the blood which has the esscence of mass killing, murdering and definitely, the blood of a killer."
She noticed someone was looking at her. She looked around and found Saber.
"Oh. My. God. SABER!! RAMPAGE!!" Starshadow rushed over to the saber tooth tiger and the king crab.
"I didn't noticed you were here and...Oh! does my breath smell like blood? I've drank some just now. So sorry." the winged panther said excitedly.

Saber just smiled even more as she looked at Starshadow. "No, its alright. Starshadow." She replied leaning into Rampage's shoulder, his arm went around her pulling her closer to him.
"So what brings you here to the tavern?" She asked

"Umm...I was..err..kinda bored!! So...What brings you here?" Starshadow laughed in a careless voice.
As she saw Rampage's arms around Saber. She felt her mind was filled with jelousy and sadness. She knew Rampage's ability to sense others emotions. So she put her jelousy aside first.
"Is there any room for me?" the demon feline's legs were tired and trembled slightly.

"Nothing really, just wanted some alone time." Saber said.
Rampage had felt Starshadows jelousy and sadness, he understood why she was jelous but the saddness he had no idea for that.
"Sure, park it here." Saber said patting the area next to her, she gave the demon cat a gentle smile.

The demon panther sat beside Saber with a happy expression. Then, a drunken mech named Hellrage(Starshadow knew him) walked towards her.
"Hey sexy black kitty...How bout' spendin' yah time with me and ditch yah friends..." he said.
Starshadow was very annoyed with his pressence.
"How many times do I have to tell you Hellrage...? I don't want to see you anywhere so go back to your own girlfriend and LEAVE ME ALONE YOU DRUNKEN BIRDIE FROM A JUNK HEAP!!" she yelled at him.
"Aww...C'mon...don't be so shy..." Hellrage grabbed the black femme's hand but she retaliated by standing up and slashing his left cheek with her claws.
He felt the pain of the slash and he slapped the demon panther hard on her right cheek. The slap gave Starshadow her prison life flash backs.
She remembered how she was chained and how she was tortured. She remembered how she was whipped, electrocuted, slapped, punched and many kinds of suffering. The emotion of pain, fear, anger, and sadness filled her mind and leaked out so much even Rampage could sense it immediately. Her tears of pain leaked out from her eyes as she covered her panther ears with both hands .

The drunked mech was about to hit the black femme again.
"Why won't my body move?" she thought.

Before Rampage could do any thing Saber punched the offending mech dead in the face. "Don't you ever touch her again, you piece of scrap. Or so help me..." Saber snarled putting Starshadow behind her, she looked when she felt a hand on her shoulder it was Rampage.
"Let me deal with him." He said then dragged the mech out of the tavern.
Saber calm down and turned to face Starshadow, she gently put her hands on her shoulders.
"Hey, you alright?"

Starshadow did not utter a word. She was too scared to say anything. The fear just drowned her. She felt like caged in a room of fear, trembling with fear. She only fear her past, fear that it would happen again, not the drunken mech.

Starshadow heard screaming outside of the lounge.The sound of parts ripping out from the body made the panther's fear grow stronger. Her flashbacks reminded her the execution of her parents. She screamed and shouted.
"D-d-does anyone h..have any..t.tra...TRANQUILIZERS PILLS OR WHATEVER?!" she was trembling too much.

Saber ignored what was happening outside and gently took Starshadow into her arms, her hand was running up and down her back, trying to comfort her like she was a sparkling.
"Shh, you don't need that, Starshadow." She said soothingly.

"Okay...Ahem...Thanks for your concern. I feel much better." Star smiled at Saber.
"Is umm...Rampage done with that bird boy?" she asked her while drinking a cup of energon wine.

Saber smiled back and reached for her own drink.
"I believe he is, i can feel his lust for blood draining away, he'll be back in a few minutes. I don't think you'll be seeing bird boy any more though." Saber replied taking a sip of her drink.
She looked at Starshadow and could tell that she was still shaken a little. She put her hand on hers. "If you ever need any thing you can contact me, and i'll come." She said gently.

"Oh..." she sighed. Star saw Rampage came back to the lounge, finished turning Hellrage into scrap with mech fluid on his hands. It was tempting for her to try tasting it.
"You might want to wash it." she said pointing to his blood stained hands.

Rampage walked off toward the bathroom without a word.
Saber just shook her head as she watched her bondmate leave to wash the blood off his hands. She shifted in her seat a little bit. "So who was that mech that was trying to flirt with you?"

"An ex boyfriend back in Cybertron of mine who drools around in my arch-enemy's prescence namely Hellrage...He's a real son of a glitch who treats his girlfriends like toys and threw them in a trash can. Probably he's drunk." Rampage came back and sat beside Saber. Then, Depthcharge came in with his gun, looking for the crab.
"HOLY SLAG!!" Starshadow jumped beside the crab and cover him with her wings.
