Encrypted Prophecies ( TFP Smokescreen x Female! Reshiram OC!) *Book Two*

Chapter 9: The Rookie's Crush

Previously: (Smokescreen's POV after awakening)

'Nghh...' I sound after beginning to awaken again. What woke me this time was the feeling of an unusual warmth and the sounds of something  around.

Taking the chance I open my optics to see that things are a bit blurry at first, but as soon as my vision clears I see a huge White creature with Icy Light Blue optics curling itself around me. It's seems to have noticed me staring as it moved its large helm in my direction.

'Wh-what are you? Where am I?'  I ask it unsure of what to do in the presence of something so large in comparison to me and the White Blue-optic creature releases what resembles a sigh, opening its mouth which reveals a set of 4 fangs: Two on top and two on bottom.

'Say those optics and the look and color of the creature look really familiar...' I thought to myself and then the creature begins to speak, the only thing is the voice belongs to my best friend....

"Are you saying you don't recognize me Smokey? I thought you would considering I don't look too much more different from my Cybertronian form to my true being the one you see now..."

'Blaze?!?' I exclaim in shock trying to sit up forgetting about my wounds and I groan in pain causing Blaze to gently push me back down with her extended facial plating...what do you even call that?!?

"Yes, it's me..." Blaze replies while hanging her helm down, optics dimming in sorrow and regret.

'What happened to you... and what do you mean by "true form"? I asked her weakly.

"Smokescreen...., remember what we talked about when I said I would explain things to you and that I was a part of a tribe that others called us "Dragons"?" She asks.

'Yeah, what about it?' I return the question with another question.

Blaze then begins to cringe and look away, producing a high-pitched whining sound while doing so.

'Blaze...'I say her name in a challenging way.

" A lot of what I said was entirely the truth..... and it hurt me to lie to you to keep the secrets I have....*sigh* Smokescreen, there is no tribe with it's people being called Dragons, because we are Dragons, I am a Dragon...." Blaze reveals and I feel my optics widen more than ever before.

'So you were lying to me this entire time....' I ask in disbelief.

"Yes, but it was only to protect you and the others, remember Volt? Well he is a Dragon too. I just didn't want you knowing or else things could've gotten worse than they did that day, especially if I told you something else I have been keeping from you..." She explains but ultimately trails off before saying anything further leaving me completely lost.

'Blaze, what else are you keeping for me?' I ask her and she keeps her helm facing away as if she is ashamed to say what she's going to say next.

"Something that only Optimus and Raf know, no one else does yet and I would rather keep it that way for now." She tells me and my optics soften at the desperation in her voice and her own optics.

' I understand.... if you think it's best if there are things left unsaid for now despite Optimus and our human friend Raf knowing, I will respect that.' I said.

"Thank you." She tells me and I begin to smile a mischievous smile causing her to raise an optic ridge in question.

'Although that won't stop me from trying to find out about those secrets myself... you are my best friend after all.' I tell her and Blaze begins to laugh.

"Glad to know that you haven't changed and hopefully never will..." She tells me still laughing and I feel my facial plating begin to heat up and my cooling fans kicking in. That has never happened before.... not even around Blaze...
