One Truth, One Lie
It wasn't long before Paige skidded to a halt as she ran across the bridge. Primrose barked sharply, following her. Paige softly smiled as her predacon nudged her shoulder with her nose, breathing sharply. DawnStar, Frostlight, FireBlaze, Nightgazer, Moonlight, Echo and Stormstrike followed after them. Paige nodded her head to the side, "go." They ran into the woods, roars and chitters escaping them. Paige locked eyes with Primrose who huffed. "Predaking's gonna keep an eye on you, probably." "Your lover's Predaking or your Predaking?" "Lover's." Paige chuckled. She figured Primrose would ask that question, sensing that her Predaking is no better than Amarys's. Paige would've said no offense if not soon. Speaking of Predaking, a loud roar erupted and Paige looked up to see her Predaking flying to her. She smirked a little as he landed. "You're getting good in sticking the landing, Predaking. I'm surprised you're not hostile and demanding." "I'll take that as a compliment. Darksteel and Skylynx are at the house." "Figured they were." Paige looked from Primrose to Predaking and smiled softly before she whistled and the two predacons flew to the sky. Paige smiled before she ran back to the house. The predacons made it before she did as always and her brother, Shiloh, stood beside Stormstrike, smiling. "Can you take them back inside? I need to go on patrol again." Paige told him. Shiloh smiled, "sure, sis." With that said, he clapped twice and the predacons went in. It was startlingly amazing that the predacons would fit inside the house. And aside from Aggie having to use one of her spells to minimize them, it was just a little funny. And everyone knew that Shiloh loved Predacons almost as much as he loved sign language. He had helped create predacons. He was a caretaker. And Kaitlyn doubted that he would start being a handler to Predaking. Especially Predaking. No matter, Paige figured the King would find out about that secret she had been keeping from him since the whole reunion thing started. 'Doubt he'd take a revolution up to date.' Paige thought with a scowl but she shook the thought away. Antony, Howard and Val had helped Shiloh with the Predacons. Heck, Howard went as far as he did to make one himself. Paige opened a ground bridge and once she went through, there was a tree in the middle of a bunch of flowers. Paige had made it her own special place for when she was upset or lost in thought, she would go there. She walked over and sat down. Paige hugged her legs close to her chest, closing her eyes for a moment. Her frown deepened. "What are you doing here, Pope?" Pope stood a foot in front of her, arms crossed over his chest and eyes glowing golden. "You know what I'm here for, sis." Paige looked at him, eyes glowing a bright golden color, "an answer." "It's more than just an answer, Paige. You know that. Actions speak louder than words remember?" Pope asked, narrowing his eyes a little. "Fine. I'm making Predacons because Predaking said he didn't have any family." She growled. "Because you told Rising Dawn to talk to Amber and you kept it a secret from Predaking through the whole year of 2017. Remember?" "Don't. Remind. Me." Paige said with a snarl as she stood up and sharply turned away from her brother. "Predaking's brethren were destroyed because Megatron thought that a revolution was going to start. A revolution that was going to be the cause of the Predacons." "And Megatron killed them without mercy!" Pope angrily shouted, baring his fangs as his ears folded back. Paige's muscles went taut as Pope did so. This was a way of Pope challenging to a fight. And she wouldn't have it. "Megatron had NO right to to say that Predaking's brethren don't deserve the right to live and see the world! He had no right to say that they deserved to die!" "That was not Megatron's fault! And you know I had no part in that! I only did what was right! I ended up making Predacons for Predaking as a way to give him family!" "Why don't you say that to Predaking? I dare you to say that to him!" "No!" Paige roared, baring her fangs and Pope growled. "Predaking doesn't deserve to know the truth about what I did." "Then why!? Why do you continue to lie to Predaking and keep secrets from him?! Why do you have to be so stubborn, even when I beg and plead with you to tell him!" Paige narrowed her eyes as Pope stepped forward, angry tears in his eyes as they blazed golden. "Predaking is the Alpha! You know that!" "No, Amarys is! She is the alpha of everyone! She always has been, always will be." Paige snapped. Pope glared up at her, "it is either a truth or a lie. You continue to make Predacons without Predaking's consent or his knowledge of it. Lydia said she would tell him when the time was right!" Pope nearly shouted. "Then why don't you tell Predaking yourself since you look up to the mech! Considering the fact that he's done a lot in the past year!" Paige demanded. Pope curled his lip into a snarl. "Henry told you a lot about the Indoraptor, didn't he?" Paige's eyes widened in fury and she snarled, "don't you dare talk about that! You were never-!" "How can you let Ember look at Predaking with a happy smile on her face and say that you are making Predacons for him!" "Shiloh knows all about it! He is our brother!" Pope let out a bitter laugh. "Yeah... he is. But let this be a warning, Paigey. You have no more than three days to tell Predaking about what you did or I'm shutting down that damn project. And you're not stopping me." Paige narrowed her eyes, "you'll kill them yourself." "If I have to. Just like you killed Sky. Just like you killed Mortem and his son. Just like you killed Novak and Melvin. An act of revenge is nothing short of creating Predacons. Megatron wouldn't be surprised if you were making Predacons. I bet he wouldn't." Paige frowned deeply. "Then you're no better than Megatron." Pope frowned deeply and with a growl, he left through ground bridge. Paige glanced at the clouds as it began to rain. "Predaking... you said you didn't have any family. And aside from Amber and your sparklings... that proves something. And I'm sorry. But you will not control them. Not without my permission." Paige's eyes turned to her light brown color. "And Predaking... I think you are no better than Megatron. You are different. You taught me how to be different and Megatron taught me that anything is survivable." Paige breathed deeply and a soft smile appeared on her face. "Amarys..."
