《(Old) The Time of Night is Midnight》Chapter 19
Advertisement
A metal servo was laid atop of me as I awoke from my sleep. The morning sun shone brightly in my eyes and caused me to wake up earlier then wanted. Said servo was keeping me pressed against the surprisingly warm metal chest of Sideswipe and won't allow me to stretch out the soreness of my wings and other limbs.
Growling under my breath and struggling underneath his servo, I wiggle out from his hold and stand up. My wings are the first to cramp from the lack of water and flying for the little bit then less of the day yesterday. A painful yelp escapes my mouth and I fall to my knees being forced to wait through the cramping. With it being too close to where my wings meet my back, I hands couldn't grab at it to rub the cramp away.
The cramp was a longer one, lasting almost a full minute. Thankfully my sudden drop on Sides armor or my painful yelp hadn't woken the red frontliner. But while kneeing down after the cramp had passed, something minuscule pulled on my chest towards Sides. It freaked me out and I took off into the air thinking it was the spot I was at.
Once again, it pulled, this time it was a bit more noticeable and stronger. Whatever it was must have happened to Sideswipe as he shot up from his laying down position and his optics snap to lock with mine. Not wanting him to know there was a problem with whatever just happened, I wave at him with awkwardness and land on the edge of his berth.
Sideswipe gazes at me for awhile longer before turning to look at his twin still in recharge. He seemed to contemplate something inside of his helm but shook it off like it was nothing and turning to me. "Good morning Night. Did you recharge well?" Nodding my head to answer his question, he stands off of his berth and stretches out his own muscles.
"Everything alright? You acted like you were shocked awake," I questioned with my voice hinted concern for the bot. He didn't turn to look at me yet his mouth was open like he wanted to say something to me.
Finally the red frontliner spoke up to voice his reason. "Yeah, Sunny pulled at me through our bond and I thought he might have been in trouble." So he did feel the same thing that I felt, but what was in the first place? It most definitely wasn't normal on any means of human and it's nothing new to me. All my abilities came when they were forced to be and new ones wouldn't felt like that in the first place.
Throwing him a thumbs up, I soar into the air and land on his shoulder. A small electric shock jolted through my frame and scared me back in the air, his frame jerked from the shock to. Glancing at Sideswipe thinking he did that on purpose, he turned to face with concern written over his face.

His voice filled with uncertainty as he spoke to me, "That didn't hurt you, did it?" What in the hell is going on? Hissing at him with a glare point right at him, I fly up into the rafters and lay down, keeping my glare on him. "I'm sorry Night; I didn't know that would happen." Rolling my eyes and huffing out a breath (I finally notice my breath showed in the air as frost); I turn away from him and lay down on the rafter.
Gladly he didn't press about apologizing about accidently shocking me and went to wake his dear brother up. Sunstreaker is not a morning person and almost struck his twin upon waking.
Both of them stand next to each other. The yellow twin and the red twin had a conversation on their (they were looking at each other without speaking a word out loud and I was taking a guess) bond. It might have been about me since they kept glancing up at me in the rafters.
Having enough of them supposedly speaking behind my back, I drop down from the rafters and hover at optic level with them. "If you are going to talk about me behind my back, you might as well tell me what you're saying," I snarl with my upper lip pulled up to show off my long canines. The two glanced over at me after my speech before gazing at each other, seeming like they were talking over their bond once more.
Sunstreaker turned his gaze back on me and opened his mouth. "We weren't talking about you squishy." Liar, liar armor on fire. I was trained to detect a lie from anyone or thing, these bots aren't anything different.
Growling deeply in chest and sending a glare to scare the devil himself to the idiotic bots in front of me, I control the fire burning deep within my chest. You can hit me, punch me, kick me but you, on any level of mind, do not lie to me. That is what hurts me the worst; I have been lied to for most of my life and have yet to get use to pain of it.
The fire of the true dragon could be felt running through my veins. Control, control it Night. Don't let them see the true monster and killer you are. My lungs are filled to the brim from each breath of air in attempts to calm myself down before I tear these two idiots apart, painfully for sure.
After calming myself down from my episode, I realize Sideswipe was talking to me with nervousness filled in his voice. "-ight? What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Just peachy. Don't ever in the rest of your life lie to me or it will not end for any of you pathetic bots," I barked with my voice not sounding like my own. Sunstreaker didn't like me threatening him and his twin and stepped in front with his own engine rumbling.
Before this could get too far and dangerous, Sideswipe intervened. "Hey, hey, you both are pretty femmes. And Night we weren't lying to you, we weren't talk about you." These bots are the most stupid beings in the whole universe.

Not wanting to tear these bots apart and get hunted down by N.E.S.T, I fly back up to the rafters to get some feet in between us. "I'm not going to argue to about something true. Do not ever lie to me, okay? I can tell when you tell a lie, I was trained to sense when somebody does," I grumble while landing on the rafter and laying down on it to rest. I wasn't going to go back to sleep in fear of having a nightmare, gladly they have been on the down low lately.
The two didn't speak to me after that and left to go do their normal morning routine.
With the door open and my fear of being trapped in here, I glide to the outside world. The sun was already rising to meet the blue, cloudy sky. By the looks of it, snow decided to come at full force last night. About half a foot had fallen to the ground and covered the entire area of the base.
None of the snowplows have gone out to plow their way through the snow to make pathways for the humans of the base. The bots, Bumblebee and Jazz, were doing alright with only slipping a couple of times while making their way somewhere. The humans have slipped and fallen on their asses too many time to count, it was a fun sight to watch them attempt to walk around.
Rolling my eyes and cracking my knuckles against each other, I control a large portion of snow around me to clear a pathway. My feet touch down on the snow covered ground near the Med. Bay where many footprints from humans passed by. Doing the same thing I did around the Autobots barracks, the snow was moved to press against the cyclone fences around the base.
The ice that stuck to the concrete was melted away to give people or bots a clear pathway to the Med. Bay. I did the same thing for the Main Hanger since that place is very busy for the base and people waved at me. Some of the soldiers even said 'thank you' for removing the snow and ice around there.
While being around the Main Hanger to get rid of the snow, every human and bot on the base gathered in the Main Hanger. Not liking there being a human amount of people snuggled in the large hanger; I take my leave to go for a flight to wait for them to leave.
Instead, a special red frontliner stopped me. "Hey Night, don't leave please. This is an important meeting and you might want to listen to it," Sides begged with his famous puppy eyes. Rolling my eyes but giving in to his cuteness (you cannot stay made at him or hate him, it's literally impossible), I fly back inside and land on the rafters. I sat on my haunches just in case there was an emergency
William stands next to his right hand man Robert Epps (Brownie Baldy). "Everyone listen up!" Epps shouted to catch everyone attention, it worked. All voices stopped and all pair of eyes snapped to look at Epps and William. "Okay that worked better than expected."
"We are of course having a meeting about the recent rise of activity of the Decepticons. We have also seen them working with a group of humans, we have yet gotten title of the group. But we have what seems to be a symbol worn on their vehicles and clothing," Lennox announces. The projector starts up and the symbol he was talking about appeared on the screen.
A gasp tore through my throat and in reaction of the fear coursing through me, I tumbled off the rafter. My wings sprang out and caught myself from going splat on the concrete. My eyes on fixed on the symbol that has haunted me in my nightmares.
"Midnight, what is it?" William asked with hope and confusion in his voice. He thinks I have an idea on who this symbol belongs to, and I do.
The only word that came out of my mouth was 'no'. They have found me working with the Autobots and have teamed up with their enemies in attempts to get to me. They will never get their grimy hands on me in a million years. My body will be far in space before they can ever get to it.
After a few moments, I realized everyone in the hanger was staring at me. "That is Jasper's symbol. You do not want to mess with them or you'll never see the light of day again," I hissed while glaring at William for him bringing me into this mess. My life would have been fine without the dumbass bots or humans in this very hanger, alone is all that is needed.
"Who is Jasper?" Will William shut up? Does he not see my glare wanting to tear him a new one?
"A team of monster. They are worse than me and will not give mercy to any creature on this planet or any planet. All I can say is: do not engage. Death is imminent," I growl before taking my leave out the open hanger door. They have dug their own grave and messing with Jasper will make it worse.
My wings pump as hard as they would to take me away from the place. Fear took over any action as the thoughts of being captured floated through my head. I don't want to go back. I will never go back. They will never get me back there, I swear upon the god of Cybertron.
The only thought on my mind at the end was:
Jasper has come to claim their prize.
