Zara's New Life

Chapter 18: Strained Reunion.

I woke with a start, panting hard and with a major headache. I moaned as I got up and walked to the cave entrance, looking up to the sky and noticing that it must be well into the morning. I whimpered, ears lowering as I looked off in a certain direction before I started to pace back and forth.

It has been two years, TWO PRIMUS DAMN YEARS, since I fled the base. I wanted to go back but what did everyone think of me? Do they hate me? Do they think that I have abandoned them? What dose Elita-1 think of me? What dose Optimus think of me? What dose Aurora think of me. Her own mother?

That made me pause in my steps, tears in the corners of my eyes.

Aurora, m-my daughter, I had practically abandoned her. I lowered my head, eyes closed tightly but yet tears still rolled down my cheeks. What kind of mother abandons their own daughter?

I looked back to the cave entrance, determination shining brightly in my eyes.

If I don't go back for myself then I go back for the sake of my daughter!

That's when I remembered the bond I have with not only Aurora but Optimus as well. I concentrated and opened the bond a little bit. I didn't want my emotions to suddenly flood their sparks.

.................Aurora's P.O.V........................

Even knowing that grampa and I were doing our own thing (Optimus was watching Telitran-one and I was watching Sunny and Sides spar) we both gasped at the same time, opitcs widening a bit. Apparently I got the twin's attention.

"You ok sparkling?" asked Sides.

"Y-yeah. I got to go. See ya around!" I called over my shoulder as I ran out of the training room and into the joining hallway, transforming into a motorcycle.

"Whoa! Slow down sparkling! You'll hurt yourself!" exclaimed Que as I swerved around his feet.

"Sorry, but it's urgent!" I called back.

Que is our resident scientist and inventor. He along with his partner, Dino, and the Wreckers are the newest additions to the Autobots here on earth.

Suddenly a red foot came down in my path, making me skid to a halt to avoid crashing into it.

"Where's the fire kid?" Dino asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"there's no fire. Now please let me through, I have to talk to Optimus!"

Dino chuckled. "Alright. On one condition., you tell me more about this legendary StarKnight; Protector of the Skies later."

"Deal!" I answered without a second thought.

Dino stepped out of the way and I sped on by. It's true, Mother has become a legend amongst the newer Autobots. But get this, the newer humans that have recently joined the military that works along side us, as well as Dino, Que, and the wreckers, all think that Mother is Cybertronian. Boy are they going to be in for a surprise when they meet her.

I soon come to the computer room, skidding to a halt and transforming back into my dragon form before running in.

"Grampa! Grampa, do you feel it?!" I asked excitedly.

Optimus smiled at me as he knelt down and picked me up before turning back to the screen of Telitran-one. "Yes little one, I do. It will not be long now."

.....................StarKnight P.O.V.................................

I smiled, just opening the bond a little has made them happy and excited. And to be honest, it feels great to be able to feel them in my heart once again.
