CH5: revelations.
If there's one thing I hate more than rapists and decepticons it's flash travel. Asides the blinding light you can see through your eyelids, it feels like your bones are vibrating, your organs are being pulled inside out and you're about to drop off a cliff while upside down. When we finally arrived, Miko and Raf fell to their assess while trying to hold down their lunch. Solus shrugged, clearly unaffected and I shuddered. Mum looked at Miko with sympathy and gave Raf a look which said "toughen up boy."
Within seconds the hunters rushed over, many drawn arrows and aimed at solus. "Hold your fire, solus is here to help jackson." mum told them. I gave her a greatful smile.
"Uh, hi. I'm solus, prime of forges, wisdom and inventions. Only female prime and Jack's mentor and companion." she introduced herself happily. I looked down, I knew what that term meant on cybertron and I wasn't happy about it, I felt like aphrodite about now and that says a lot.
"Jackson, are you alright? " mum asked me. I shook my head." Jackson, tell me now."
"it's to do with solus." I gulped. "can we discuss this privately, it concerns us three." she nodded and we went to her cabin and locked the door after telling the hunters to stand guard outside and Not to easedrop.
"So, what's going on? " mum asked sternly, if she wasn't a god most wouldn't take her 12 year old form seriously.
" Solus labeled herself as my, companion." I gulped.
Mum glared at me. "Mind out of the dung!"
"No, he is correct." solus smiled as she continued to tinker with the unfinished pretender modual. "I signed myself up to be spark bonded to the next declared prime after Optimus left cybertron."
"Whats spark bonded? That is in your this title jack." mum said evenly.
"marriage, it's marriage. " I croaked while looking down." Right now, I need to get some rest, I feel like I ran over cybertron again." mum nodded in understanding, she knew that when she was made an Olympian the power she received knocked her out for a bit. I had just enough energy to get to my bed and pass out on top of it. When I woke up I was upside down and tied by my left foot. I was hanging from a rope between two trees, roughly two stories up. I sighed and reached up, grabbing the rope and began to cut at it with my daggers. I fell to the ground hard as I let out a pained yelp.
I heard laughter and saw thalia, pheobe and a few newer hunters laughing at me. I looked down and saw that they somehow managed to get a tutu over my pants. I chuckled at that, not really caring too much, I've had worse.
"Hey, nice one." I smiled as I pulled off the tutu. "that's me fifty three, hunters forty nine." pheobe gave me a Stern look. "What?"
"Your forcing someone into marrying you? " she asked sternly.
" I swear on the river styx I am not." I stated sternly. Thunder rumbled above signaling the oath is set. The hunters looked at me, probably expecting me to burst into flame or drop dead. When I didn't pheobe gave a sigh of relief.
"then what's going on with solus? " thalia asked sternly.
I sighed." She swore upon the allspark that she would spark bond with the next prime." thalia rolled her eyes and said something about solus acting like a male.
"So, how long was I out? " I asked.
" all yesterday, sun came up an hour ago. " pheobe explained. I nodded, of all the hunters, pheobe is probably the most friendly towards me, often saying I'm like her annoying little brother. Which I guess is sort of true since mum sees the hunters like daughters." OH, by the way, there's a girl here to see you."
"Please Don't let it be an aphrodite girl" I groaned.
"No, she's calling herself Sadie Arcee Smith." thalia explained. I perked up at that.
"where? " I asked." She's a Dear friend of mine. "
" big house, brought a guy called Optimus and a few others with her." Caroline explained. I didn't know her that well as she's a new hunter and it seems was friendly enough.
"Thanks, gotta go bye" I smiled as I rushed off towards camp. I really hoped Arcee wouldn't be d passed off at me.
