Saoirse POV

Normally, Saoirse found some enjoyment in school. But that day she just couldn't make herself like it. Saoirse felt restless and irritated. In all honesty, Saoirse felt as if she were about to jump out of her seat from the restlessness she felt. It was an unnatural feeling for her, since she was normally pretty reserved in what she did—typically Eden was the more restless, outgoing one.

It was said that Saoirse had more of Optimus's personality whereas Eden had more of their mother's personality with their father's mixed in.

"Is there something wrong, Saoirse?" her teacher asked.

Shaking her head, Saoirse muttered something under her breath. It honestly felt like there was something seriously wrong with her that day, but she couldn't bring herself to understand what was happening. Saoirse knew that maybe the reason she was feeling so weird was because of what her parents were—her father being an Autobot and her mother being human with alien-like abilities.

How could she not get some kind of weird something from them?

At the end of the day, Saoirse had said goodbye to her friends and went over to Eden's classroom to get her. It was a routine that had unconsciously become a daily routine for the sisters—Saoirse would talk to her friends for a little bit while Eden spent a little extra time working on some homework, then once Saoirse's friends were gone, she'd go over to Eden's classroom and they'd both wait at the front of the school for someone to pick them up. Saoirse's and Eden's teachers really liked them because of their dedication to getting things done and paying extra close attention, and sometimes that didn't go over well with some of the other students. Sometimes Eden and Saoirse would be called names because some students thought they were sucking up to the teachers, but if they knew the truth about the Witwicky sisters, they probably wouldn't have said stuff like that.

"Are you almost done, Eden?" Saoirse asked.

Eden was still sitting in her seat, her teacher at his desk, while she worked intensely on the worksheet in front of her.

"I'm trying to concentrate," Eden muttered.

"Uncle Cade's probably gonna be here soon," Saoirse said. "Daddy or Mama, too. C'mon, Eden, you can finish it outside."

Groaning, Eden stuffed her work into her backpack and gave a grunted goodbye to her teacher before following her older sister outside.

"You told Ironhide about what happened in Uncle Cade's barn didn't you?" Saoirse asked as they walked outside.

Eden grunted.

"Mya was really worried about you." Saoirse looked down at her sister. "You have to be more careful with what you do, OK?"

"I'm trying, OK?" Eden snapped. "I don't know what's going on or why it's happening."

"It's because of who Mama and Daddy are." Saoirse shrugged. "They're different, so we're different."

Eden's face fell. "I don't know if I like being different."

"Ya know, I like to think there's a reason we're like this," Saoirse said. "We're not the only ones who're different. Musa's like us. Alec and Athena are like us."

"But they're not like us," Eden exclaimed. "Everyone's always talking about how important we are because of who Daddy is, the others are pretty normal. Their fathers aren't super important."

"Everyone's important, Eden." There was a sharpness in Saoirse's voice that made Eden flinch a little. "Daddy's been telling us that for a while now. He's been telling us a lot of things."

"I don't even get half of it sometimes."

Saoirse shrugged. "It'll probably make sense one day."

When they reached the front of the school, Mama was waiting outside with Uncle Bumblebee. She was standing at the passenger's side door with her arms crossed over her chest. For a moment, Saoirse and Eden saw a look of panic on their mother's face before she noticed them.

"Oh my God, what took you guys so long?" Mama exclaimed. "I was just about to send your Uncle Bee in there to get you guys."

"Eden was taking too long on her homework," Saoirse murmured.

Eden shot her a glare.

"Hey, let's not fight right now, OK?" Mama knelt down and kissed Saoirse and Eden on the forehead.

"Is something wrong, Mama?" Eden asked.

"You look upset," Saoirse added.

Mama looked over at Uncle Bumblebee for a moment before looking back at Saoirse and Eden. There was something she was hiding, but knew all too well it'd be useless to lie about it.

"You girls are about as bright as a star," she sighed.

"Did something happen to Orion?" Eden exclaimed.

"No. Tessie's watching him."

"Then what's wrong?" Saoirse cried.

"Not here," Mama said softly. "It's better to talk about it at home...with your father."

The overall drive back to Uncle Cade's farm was long and restless. Saoirse and Eden kept asking questions—they didn't want to wait until they got home—but Mama kept pushing their questions away. Uncle Bumblebee hadn't said a single word since they left the school, which was very unlike him. After a while, Saoirse and Eden stopped asking questions. Mama had no intentions of answering them until they got home. All they knew was that Mama seemed to be really scared and Uncle Bumblebee was too quiet about it all. It made them scared, it made them uncomfortable.

It made them wonder just how big the situation was.

QUICKY NOTE:

HEY-YO, EVERYONE! I'M SO SORRY IT'S TAKEN ME SO LONG TO UPDATE A NEW CH.! I'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY LATELY, I HOPE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND. I ALSO HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE THIS NEW CH.! I HOPE YOUR HALLOWEEN'S BEEN GOOD, TOO.

JUST A QUICK QUESTION TO THE KIND 'Sinister Dark', ABOUT YOUR OC...I KNOW YOU'VE GIVEN ME A DESCRIPTION ON HER, BUT I WAS WONDERING, IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH HER! SINCE THERE ARE SOME OC'S FROM 'AT LEAST WE MADE IT THIS FAR' THAT NEVER MADE IT INTO THE STORY, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO PUT THEM INTO THIS STORY AND IT'S BECOMING A LITTLE OVERWHELMING. I'M HOPING YOU COULD HELP ME OUT WITH HER, IF THAT'S OK WITH YOU.

AS FOR THE REST OF THE OC'S THAT WILL BE IN THIS STORY, I'LL LET YOU GUYS KNOW THROUGH THIS AUTHOR'S NOTES WHEN IT'S GETTING CLOSE FOR THEM TO BE PUT IN OR IF I NEED ANY HELP WITH THEM. THE ONE THING I'M HOPING FOR IS THAT YOU GUYS WILL HAVE PATIENCE WITH ME ON THIS STORY. SINCE THERE REALLY ISN'T A MOVIE TO GO BY AS OF YET, AND SINCE THIS STORY IS BEING TOLD MOSTLY THROUGH THE POV OF OPTIMUS'S AND DESIRÉE'S CHILDREN, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A SECURE PLOTLINE FOR THIS STORY UNTIL THE POSSIBLE FIFTH 'TRANSFORMERS' MOVIE COMES OUT.

THE SAME WILL GO TO ALL THE ARCS THAT HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED BY ALL YOU KIND REVIEWERS! THEY'LL BE WRITTEN INTO THE STORY, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, I'M JUST GOING TO WORK ON GETTING THIS STORY STABLE ENOUGH FOR THOSE ARCS TO BE PUT IN.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE!

I DON'T OWN THE 'TRANSFORMERS' FRANCHISE. I ALSO DON'T OWN THE OC'S THAT HAVE BEEN LOANED TO ME. THE 'TRANSFORMERS' FRANCHISE AND THOSE WONDERFUL OC'S BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS. I OWN MY CHARACTERS AND MY FILLERS.

STAY SNAPPY.

THANK YOU, ONE AND ALL.

READ, REVIEW, ENJOY!

YOURS TRULY,
