Chapter 12
Beth eyed the area where Tony and Natasha were just standing, and then she glanced down at Optimus' sleeping form. She looked at her once long blonde hair only to find it was now brown, her eyes straying toward Optimus, who was moaning slightly.
"Hey, sleepyhead," she replied as he grinned.
"You pack quite the wallop, don't you?" he asked.
"Better believe it," she said as unbeknown to them, Cemetery Wind's drones had located them by flying down into every nook and cranny of different hideaways.
Xxxxxxx
"We've got them," one of Savoy's men said.
"Alright, let's go," Savoy ordered. "No one touches my daughter. I will handle her, understood!" Savoy shouted.
"Yes, sir," his men said. "But sir," the one said.
"Yeah, what is it?" Savoy growled.
"Your daughter... She appears to be having a thing with the Prime," one of the men replied.
The expression on Savoy's face changed drastically then.
"A thing? Would you like to clarify that?" Savoy demanded.
"The drone caught images of possible sexual activity," the guy said as Savoy looked extremely pissed at this news.
"Get into the vehicles, and let's go, now!" Savoy shouted in a furious tone.
Meanwhile, where Beth and Optimus were, the two were talking about what had happened.
"Well, one thing is for certain I will be glad to get out of here and have you safe," Beth said as Optimus glanced at her.
"No regrets?" he asked.
She smiled then.
"Never," she said as she leaned in and kissed him with such urgency and passion.
"I believe if I am not careful, I will be in over my head," Optimus said with a chuckle.
"I believe you are already in over your head with seducing my rebellious daughter to keep your ass safe," Savoy snarled as Optimus and Beth abruptly realized they had been found.
Savoy glared with hatred at Optimus as his eyes suddenly found his daughter's.
"Get away from him, now!" Savoy ordered his daughter.
"Go to hell, dad," Beth snapped.
"I am not going to tell you again, Beth," Savoy remarked.
"Bite me," she snapped.
Beth grabbed her gun and fired at one of her father's men, hitting him in the chest.
"Now, you are going to allow us safe passage, or I start shooting up your team," she ordered as Savoy narrowed his eyes are his daughter.
"I do not take orders from my own daughter!" Savoy yelled in a fury.
Silence...
"Fire on my command," Savoy said calmly.
"Beth, let me surrender myself. I do not want you getting hurt," Optimus said.
"That won't matter, nor is it an option," Beth growled.
"On Three... One..." Savoy started to say.
Beth glanced at Optimus, tears in her eyes.
"I love you, Optimus," Beth said.
"I love you too; thank you for allowing me to experience such things," Optimus replied.
"Two...!" Savoy shouted.
Optimus knew he had to protect Beth at all costs, even if that meant giving up his. It would be his last gift to her for giving him such a beautiful thing as love.
"Three...!" Savoy shouted. "FIRE!" Savoy ordered as unexpectedly lightning struck all over in the cave.
