A/N: I forgot to mention that Knock out won't be appearing for quite a few chapters, since I would like to establish the two OCs before I get to the promised romance. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Don't forget to leave constructive criticism! ;D
Just in case you missed the memo: Purposely short chapters.
Beta: The super awesome Mist Howler!
Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers Prime, just the random OCs and plot rainbows that I barf out.
Chapter Four: The Silence of Death
The quiet in the house that remained after Honey got onto the bus for school always had Marian diving for the closest radio. The small two-story house on the edge of Jasper, Nevada had once been the place that hosted family reunions. However, after the death of her mother three months before, everything had fallen eerily silent. Who would have thought that a stroke could tear a previously-loving family into tatters, leaving the artist – who had been living in sunny, bustling California at the time – with an empty, dreary house and a despondent sister?
The deafening silence was, indeed, painful.
