Meeting (Chapter 1)

Parent

S

  Her hair stood straight up, rippling in wind I couldn't feel.

  Her eyes were violet.

"I am sorry I have to contact you like this."

  Mother Moon.

  I feel my eyes widen. This couldn't be possible.

  Nightshade snaps his neck to her.  He knows something is wrong.

  I walk in front of her, Nightshade following. We both bow.

  I can't beleive I'm acutally in front of her.

   "Please, I don't have enough strength to go through customs."

  I never thought the Mother Moon would talk directly to me.

  I side-step, following her orders.

  "Half Moon needs to watch over that boy. My sister wants him. She will do everything she can to get her way."

  Anti.

  "She has the spirit of a mother, and I'm sure you can all see that."

  She does. She loves that boy more than she could ever love me.

  "Protect her. And the boy. She is worth so much more than she realizes."

  I will. I promise I will protect her and Anti with my life.

  I promise you, Mother Moon.

  She drops, landing on her hands and knees.

  I bolt to her, landing on my knee.

  She is gripping her stomach, wincing.

  "It hurts....." I whines, clutching her stomach harder.

  "What hurts?" I ask, looking at her face.

  Her eyes are blue again, but full of pain and fear.

  Her eyes go violet again.

  I won't leave her side.

  "Stay away from my son....." She whispers.

  She doesn't have a-

  Anti.

  "Don't hurt him.....  Please....." She pleads, her back arched.

  She gasps in pain and shock, her hand over the pulsing blue light in her chest.

  She falls to the side.

  "No......  Leave him alone......." She whispers, clutching her heart.

  "Leave who alone?" I asked.

  I already knew the answer.  I just needed to be sure.

  I grip her hand.

  "Where is my son?"

  Come on....  Just confirm my suspicions.....

  "Where is Anti?"

  I am in shock.  She wanted the boy. She wanted her son.

  But he wasn't hers. He was Cosmic's.

  "Get the boy." Optimus ordered, looking down at me, worried.

  I didn't need convincing.

  I transform into a shadow, going back to my house.

  Anti doesn't live too far away from me.
