Margaret held onto Brittany as they dived down. Brittany screamed her head off, not noticing the black seeker wings, as dark as the night, coming out of Margaret's back.

Margaret's feet turned into black metal boots that had blasters at the bottom. She shot up into the sky and did a corkscrew. She landed on another plain, far away from the python.

She let go of Brittany who was marveling at Margaret's shiny jet wings. Margaret looked at her wings, rubbing their smooth, glossy surface.

Margaret sighed, I think it's time to tell you why I haven't talked to you in forever."

Margaret took Brittany back to the Nemesis. Where her father was waiting for her, to hear a good reason not to ground her because of her disappearance.

When Margaret walked through the groundbridge, Megatron, Starscream, and Predaking were shocked that there was another girl, but also Margaret's wings were something completely new.

Starscream groaned, "Another human?" Megatron growled at Starscream and he immediately shut up.

Megatron bent down to eye level with Margaret and Brittany. Megatron asked, "And who may this be, daughter?"

Brittany turned to Margaret shocked and said, "HE'S your FATHER?!"

Margaret nodded and turned to Megatron and sighed, "That's Brittany." Megatron nodded and stood back up.

Starscream scowled at the two small girls and Predaking noticed Starscream's hatred for the warlord's daughter, and her friend.

Predaking silently growled at the seeker. Margaret noticed the uneasiness in the Predacon, and turned to Starscream whom she caught scowling at her.

Megatron didn't notice any of it, since he left the communications room. Margaret huffed, "Well, I guess I'll show you around, Britt."

Predaking interrupted, "I will accompany you."

Margaret looked at him confused and then shrugged, "Eh, the more the better."

The three walked out and left Starscream alone to plot something deadly...something to extinguish the spark inside Margaret that shined so brightly. He wanted that cheerful, rebellious femling destroyed.

~With Margaret, Britt, and Predaking~

They walked to the flight deck, where Predaking's quarters were. The sun was setting, and day was turning to night. Brittany sighed, "I know we haven't seen each other in a long time, but I haven't been home for hours, and my parents don't suspect a sleepover. I...I have to go. Sorry."

Margaret nodded, "It's ok, but you can't tell anybody about me or my real father."

Brittany nodded and they hugged. Margaret opened a groundbridge and Brittany walked through.

She was left alone with Predaking, with nothing to do.

Predaking spoke, "Ms.Margaret, I am very worried about the commander. He seems to have a hatred for you and your friend. I would like to guard you tonight, just in case he tries to harm you."

Margaret looked at him shocked and and said, "W-why would he want to h-hurt me?"

Predaking shook his helm, "I do not know, but I would like your permission for me to guard you."

Margaret sighed, "Well I know you can scare Screamer away so...yea. Sure." Predaking picked her up and walked to Margaret's quarters.

Margaret hid behind a wall and changed into her pajamas, her wings sinking into her back.

She jumped onto her bed, and Predaking transformed into his beast mode. He circled around the bed and laid down, his body covering all the sides of the bed.

His large head towered over Margaret as he bent down and nuzzled Margaret's shoulder with his large maw.

She pet his large head and said, "Goodnight." Predaking purred and nodded. He fell asleep seconds later.

But Margaret struggled. She tossed and turned worrying about her friend...wondering if Starscream would harm her.

Nightmares filled her head almost every night.

She heard her door open and froze, thinking Starscream has wandered into her quarters. She opened her eyes slowly, but kept them closed enough to look like she was sleeping.

She spotted Starscream's shadow and his red optics opened wide, him noticing the beast protecting the small girl. Predaking growled, feeling the presence of another, other than Margaret in the room.

The mech seeker backed up, and retreated.

Margaret sighed and Predaking raised his head. Margaret got on her knees and Predaking rested his head in her small arms.

Margaret sighed, "Thank Primus you were here to protect me, Predaking. I'm so great full."

Predaking purred and nuzzled into Margaret's chest.

Margaret cooed, "Please protect me from him." Her face was sad, and also filled with fear. Predaking stood tall in his beast form and then transformed. He gently picked up Margaret in his large claws and brought her up to his faceplate.

Margaret kissed his cheek and nuzzled into his muscular neck. She sighed, "Your the greatest friend in the whole wide universe."

Predaking chuckled, "I know."
