'Blah' Whitesilence thinking

Chapter 5: Discovery

I heard Thundercraker talking loudly to another of the Decepticons. I think it was Dirge. But I didn't care; I was busy reading a book. A fantasy of sorts. It was the first time I was reading it and I didn't want to be distracted by Thundercraker's loud mouth, even though I was reading in the rec room. I felt something touch my leg and looked down into a small pair of blue optics. I smiled as Whitesilence gave me a curious look.

'What are you reading?'

"A book." I replied quietly.

'Very funny. What is it about?'

"Something beyond what you can understand." I replied.

'Can I at least read it with you? Even if I can't read?'

I sighed as I picked her up and sat her on my lap. She backed up against my stomach and I saw her smile up at me. I shook my head as I continued to read. I was getting to an interesting part where the main femme in the story was meeting with the enemy in hopes of settling a thousand year war between their warring clans. I imagined the femme, the beautiful white, silver, and cream of her armor contrasting with her icy blue optic. He was reading when he came upon a part that startled him. The femme, Purity, was talking to the leader of the enemy group but she was also reading his mind. She was telepathic, able to read minds and talk to others using her mind. I froze as I realized something. Whitesilence was telepathic!

'What's wrong?'

I opened and closed my mouth several times, not believing what I had just discovered. I picked her up and carefully put my book in my subspace before heading towards the door. Thundercraker snapped something and I glared at him. He hid from my view behind the other Decepticon. I think it was Dirge, but I wasn't sure.

"Starscream, is there a problem?" Megatron's voice cut through my thoughts as I exited the rec room.

"Is there somewhere that we can talk in private about Whitesilence?" I asked.

Megatron eyed me then turned and headed towards his room. I followed a couple of steps back, afraid that he might turn on me out of the blue because he felt like it. He entered his entry code and stepped through the door to his quarters, leaving the door open only long enough for me to slip through before it slid closed.

"Now, what did you want to talk to me about concerning Whitesilence?" Megatron asked.

"Sir, I believe that Whitesilence might be telepathic." I stated calmly.

Megatron lifted an optic ridge and considered my theory. He nodded his head, looking hard into my optics. I tried not to look away from his gaze, afraid that if I did, he wouldn't take me seriously. He must have seen something that he thought was convincing because he stopped staring at me and tilted his head back, though it was still very intimidating. I tried to swallow but found that I had something blocking my throat passage and didn't try again.

"Telepathic? Hmm, interesting." Megatron commented.

'Telepathic? What is telepathic?'

"The ability to read others mind and talk with one's mind." Starscream replied matter-of-factly.

'Can you translate that from genius to stupid for me?'

"You can talk to others using your mind and maybe be able to read another transformers mind." Megatron stated, a smirk crossing his face.

'Oh, neat!'

I sighed as Megatron stepped forward to take Whitesilence from me. I handed her over without a word, knowing better than to talk back. I bowed my head as I turned to leave. Megatron must have been in a good mood because I didn't have anything thrown at me. I sighed as I reached the hallway. I decided to return to my room to finish reading the story.

Story Start

"Purity, welcome to our humble castle." Crion stated as he held out his hand for the femme.

"Thank you Crion." Purity replied. She could tell that he wasn't entirely impressed by her presence.

Purity looked over the room she was in. There was a little bit too many dark and foreboding colours for her preference, but it wasn't her base or her clan so she kept her mouth shut. She noted a tall, menacing figure hovering over near the corner, staring at her with deep purple optics, sending shivers up her spine.

"That is Darkcasim." Crion stated as he followed her gaze. "He is my second-in-command. I would advise you to stay away from him. You are pure and therefore are very tempting for a mech like him." He added.

Purity continued to look at him and managed to find a way into his mind. What she found surprised her. He wanted her alright, but he didn't want to just take her. He wanted her to love him back. That was strange to her, since this clan was never known for loving others. Purity smiled at the mech, trying to be nice to him and showing him that he could talk to her. She saw that he stepped farther into the shadows, trying to hide from her. Purity didn't understand this, but then again, you can never totally understand the enemy's motives.

End Story.

I saved the page that I was on before I put it in my subspace and decided to get some sleep before Megatron sent us out to raid the Autobots the next day.
