Chapter 14
Elita was woken up by her older sister. It was very early in the morning and they had plans to tour Crystal City. She had no idea why and didn't care. Not that she had a say in her family anyway. Her mother came prancing in her room all dressed up. She had on her long flowy iridescent skirt and loose top hanging over her chest. She was wearing lighter armor and had more accessories on.
"You need to get up darling we need to leave in thirty minutes." She said opening her daughter's curtains. Elita didn't feel like partaking in more of her families 'were trying to get more recognized and famous' stunts. She didn't hate her family, just found them rather annoying. Very annoying. Elita headed to the room next to her bedroom. It was a shared closet between her and her three sisters. She was the youngest and hated it. Only bot who paid attention, was Magnus and his family. She dressed herself in designer armor that glimmered when sunlight touched the surface. Her sisters thought that it was a better fit on her body. Elita's family was complicated. Her father a Councilman hand chosen by the Primes, her mother a self-absorbed femme who's goal was to outdo Aqua Paxious and Thalia, her three sisters were just as bad as her mom constantly trying to date one of the Primes' son so they could get rich and have power. Elita was different, her dream was to become a journalist and travel Cybertron and learn more about where she lives. If that dream doesn't work out she wants to open her own Café in a small city living the simple life.
Her father wasn't so bad, he took interest to from time to time and even bring her along so she could interview Quintus and Aqua for a school report. Other times he was too worried about councilmen things and at meetings and dinners. She never saw her dad that often but since he'd been gone half the time if didn't really phase her. It was normal.
She headed downstairs and notice her data pad was open. She picked it up and saw someone went through her data pad without permission. "NOVENA!" she screamed. Her third sister stuck her head around the corner with a "confused" look.
"Why did you go through my data pad you know the rules, why can't I have privacy."
"It wasn't me it was probably Vela she always a little snoop." She turned her head and went back down the hallway.
"Vela! Thej'iea! I need you come down here." She called. Her sister came down the stairs. Thej'iea was irritated and Vela didn't really have an expression.
"What." Thej'iea harshly stated.
"Who opened my data pad and went through my data pad?" Elita asked. They both rolled their optics and Vela started up the stairs.
"That's not fair I don't go through your stuff."
"We were only trying to find out how YOU are dating Ultra Magnus, a son of a Prime. How'd ya do it sis? Vela asked as she turned around.
"We've been trying for years and yet you of all femmes snag him, ugh I'm so betrayed you knew that's what we all want. All you want is to live a simple life out in the country and sell energon coffee. Pathetic and you have the nerve to date him might as well just pass him onto one of us or that Orion your best friend is dating." Vela stared coldly at her younger sister and headed back up the stairs. Thej'iea walked around her and grabbed her head piece sitting on the mantle in the front room.
Thej'iea didn't like any of her sisters but tolerated Elita. She didn't get on her nerves as much as Novena and Vela do. Thej'iea gave up on marrying a prince soon after she found out Elita was best Friends with Quintus' youngest son. She accepted it but the other two couldn't and it put tension between the sisters.
Her father entered the front room and called everyone down as the hover car appeared out front. Vela and Novena pushed Elita out of the way and followed behind their mother, then Thej'iea then her. She sat by her father across from her mother and sisters.
"Father why are we touring Crystal city?" Novena asked.
"Because we're moving there."
"WHAT WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING CYBERCITY IS OUT HOME!" Novena shouted. They all grew up in the city and they certainly didn't want to leave the Princes to anyone else to grab.
"Are we changing schools?" Elita asked. Loosing Magnus at this moment wouldn't help her at all.
"No luckily where I plan to move is still within the limits, so you Vela and Novena should be okay." Dracth sat back and waited until they arrived in the city. The care stopped and they all got out. The city did not have the same feel as Cyber city did. It felt dreary and old. Bots walked around with less cheer in their step. They all wore smug looks and kept on their way not acknowledging anyone at all.
"Councilmen Dracth Venson and Iritesta Blue and the daughters, welcome to Crystal city." The gray bot took the hand of Iritesta and began walking down the paved street. He had a very proud look on his face as he held her hand lightly. The four femmes followed behind the bot and began their tour of the city. Elita was unimpressed. There was nothing to the city, bland and a knock off of Cyber City. But she held an open mind as he explain the brief history of the old city.
"For a short period of time this is the city where all the 12 primes lived separated from their parents. As in why they did it no one really knows for sure and none of the primes have ever elaborated on it. Some believe it was it was just a choice they all agree on moved here. Though the place they live is no longer up on the market for bots and thus Primsa made it into a museum of the planets history. Which is open all the time expect for holidays of course." An actual interesting fact that caught Elita's attention. She loved the Primes history, it was by far the most unique from anyone else's. She trailed behind from her family and started to look deeper into the city. It wasn't as bland as she thought, all around were old buildings from the first golden age. The language here consisted of old Cybertronian and new. Over the years the languages between the planet began to evolve and change as the planet became more advance. Every bot was required to know both, the planet was is so big you don't know who's first language is what. The two languages were, Cybeo and Karion. In the northern half of the world bots mostly spoke Cybeo the modern version of the ancient languages. The other half was Karion, the language derives from gladiators and lower class citizen, but everyone must know both.
"I elit afinei piso sas*!" her mother called.
"Erchomos*!" she caught up with them and her sisters started to whisper and look around. They obviously did not like the city as much and didn't seem to appreciate the history behind it. The bot stopped at a house in the neighborhood not too far from downtown.
"This is the home you have purchased, six weeks ago it's brand new and in the safest location, only for Quintus' handpicked councilman." The gray bot stepped aside and let the family through the door. It was roomy and very modern. It was a four story house that took up more than half of land plots. Her mother examined the place carefully. Her face stayed scrunched up. Dracth was quiet proud of himself for picking this place out. He knew it would take time to adjust but there was no doubt about it.
"You did good dad I like it." Elita commented. He smiled at his daughter. At least someone appreciated it.
O0o0o0o0
Elita sat on her bed and picked up the phone. They were moving next week. She wasn't too excited but nothing would change that now. She dialed Magnus' number. She loved calling him. He was such a sweetheart she couldn't get enough of him.
"Hey detka*." His voice was rough and a little raspy. He sounded out of breathe.
"Mind if I come over today I'm kind of bored and wanted to tell you something."
"Sure thing I'll send someone to pick you up, love you see you soon."
"Love you to bebe." She hung up and grabbed a few things and headed downstairs. Her mom and sisters had gone shopping and her dad was at work. She walked out and waited for the famous black hover car. It pulled up a few minutes later and the door opened and there stood her best friend. She walked over and gave him a hug. He pulled her into the car still hugging. He fell into the seat while she lay sprawled across his toned body. She looked him in the optics and leaned forward and kissed him. They've kissed before but it wasn't often enough.
"I find it funny how we've moved faster with our relationship than your brother has." Elita said sitting on his hips. Magnus chuckled. He sat up as well gripping her waist. They had moved far beyond than expected, and they haven't even been dating that long.
"I get what I want and when I get it I don't let go." He grazed his lips along her cheek before kissing behind her auto receptors. He loved her so much, maybe even more than Orion loved Arcee. Maybe the love for their femmes was equal, and very could be so.
"So are we actually going back to the palace or somewhere better?" Elita had a hint of lust in her voice and Magnus could tell, but wasn't going to go there today, his family would get a little to suspicions.
"No my family wants to see you today, I told them I was picking you up, so sorry no fun today." He kissed her pouted lip and let the driver know they were ready to go. Elita stayed put on his lap and teased just a bit with playful kissing and placement of her servos. She knew how to break Magnus and vice versa. Magnus caught on and pushed her back.
"Baby I told you, I hate getting sharp with you but if you keep this up I will have to take action." He said holding her wrists.
"Then take action." Elita was thinking of something completely different than what Magnus was. He sighed and made her sit beside him instead of on top of his with her servos in her lap looking straight ahead.
"You can be a real bitch sometimes."
"Good thing you love me." He knew taunting her would just push her over but he didn't care, as a boyfriend it was his job. He caught her rolling her optics to the back of her helm. He's really done it now.
"Were here by the way." He scooted across the seat and opened the door and got out with her right behind. They walked in from one of the side entrances. Elita's armored boots clicked against the floor. She was still ticked off from the car ride. Magnus was just beginning to notice her different color in armor. It was a shade lighter than normal and he liked it made her look a bit older.
"You look nice today what were you up to before you called?"
She had forgotten that she was moving. "We were in Crystal city looking for a house and you know how my mom is about appearances." Her voice kept cracking she didn't want to tell him. Even though she'd still be in the same school, Cyber city was special to them it was where they first met, technically.
"You're moving Elita why didn't you tell when you called?" he had caught up with her. They were walking hand in hand.
"I didn't want to ruin the rest of your day, it such a downer to tell your boyfriend you're moving."
"You'll be at the same school right?" If she wasn't there it would be even harder to cope. He needed to see her and not just at school. Even if it was just at school it'd be hard.
"Yes, dad took the liberty of keeping me Vela and Novena at the Cyber City academy." It didn't seem to help much.
"Let's go in it'll work out I promise." Magnus took her servo and led her through the doors. The palace was a special place for her, she often referred to it as her second home and Magnus' family as her second family as well. She loved the way it looked. Everything just screamed Cybertronian and Royalty. Her favorite part were the portraits of the primes hanging around the front entrance. They looked so noble and brave. They truly were Gods among bots, no one really took into account of how much they really did for their people. She let go of Magnus' servo and began walking around looking at the portraits. It took the breath right from her. Every single on was masked with perfection. Around the corner hung the Primess' portraits.
"These are absolutely gorgeous" she whispered. She walked up the Aqua Paxious'. She was draped in blue cyber cloth. It hung of her frame like water flowing down a river. Her optics were little slits, she was indeed striking a pose. Her arms held out as she let flower release from both servos. A long golden cloth tied around her waist and wrapped on top of her shoulder. A golden breast plate hung from her neck. The dark crimson cape wrapped around Aqua body making her look stunning and not to mention the master full headdress. The bands made from pure gold holding flowers and gems of plenty.
"How on Cybertron can femmes be so beautiful clothed in riches and gold." Elita stopped in front of the portrait of Lunarfire. Her servo dripping fire and bronze. The long flowing cape wrapped around her legs, turning into fire. She had a huge head dress with bands sticking out on the sides. She traveled down and saw the endless beauty. Every single portrait was unique to each of the Primess personalities.
"Magnus this is beyond what I thought your family is, you portray yourselves as gods and bots worship you."
Magnus looked away. "You do know that we hate it when bots think of us like that, we're meant to be protectors not gods walking among the common."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean too."
"Don't worry you didn't mean too, I think we need to go say hello to everyone before rumors get spread."
authors note: i honestly think we need a little more Magnus and some family enlightenment on Elitaflash. this chapter is little different and i do step in tempting waters but i'm trying to figure out their relationship. though some of you may say its so out of Magnus' charachter i am trying to make a persona for him before he fought in a war. also wanted to make their love a bit different from Arcee and and Orion.
also the two languages are my 'kind of made up cybertronian languages' but i did take insperation from all the universes and i did look into it and someone pointed out the Cybertronian is similar to Greek and i though what a great way to add a touch of my culture in there. and the second language i chose to write in Russian just because the were symblos like the greek and cybertronian. i will also put translations for the few sentences and words in there.
*Cybeo- Greek "I elit afinei piso sas"= "Elita your falling behind!" "Erchomos" ="coming!"
*karion- Russian "detka"= "babe"
i also cant help myself and not write about the primes and their wives, probably one of the best things I've created and in my mind all of the Primess are just beyond beautiful. darn i wish i could draw. oh well :)
i do hope you enjoy the story so far, be sure to review i do read them all and love all the people who read this story
thank so much :)
