History Untold
Books. Maps. The pasts hidden away within the confines of temples, palaces and ancient relics. Even the most hidden of relics have a way of appearing. Calysta Matteo knew this all too well. Now she must come to terms with everything in her life and decide if she is ready to commit to her hearts wants.
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” - Laozi
“Dammit. Where in the world did I put that map?” Calysta Matteo, muttered angrily as she scoured the table that was piled high with papers and books.
“It’s right here, mama,” A soft female voice spoke to her right, dark brown eyes met golden optics, smiling,” Thank you my little Hurricane.”
Taking the paper from Hurricanes hand, she looked at the small Cybertronian with warmth in her eyes as she pushes up her glasses,” I think it’s time for us to take a break don’t you think?”
Claysta watched as Hurricane’s wings flittered up and down in excitement as she spoke with a hurried tone,” Flying?”
She nodded her head, replying,” Yep. We’ll go flying. I’ll drive around under you on the ATV so when you are tired I can drive us home.”
Hurricane nodded her head happily as she asked,” May I have energon before we go?”
Calysta nodded as she got from her place at the table, and headed into the kitchen where she made her way toward a small black refridgerator, opening it up and pulling out a small little blue bottle before turning to Hurricane, handing her the bottle watching as she began to drink it happily. Calysta chuckled as took the now empty bottle from Hurricane, placing it into the sink as she turned back to the youngling watching as she begna to jog toward the front door. Her metal peds clicking against the wooden flooring, as Calysta followed suit with a tired smile.
As she walked past the table, she glanced over at it once more with a frown decorating her face as she quietly muttered,” Grandma… What were you looking into?”
“Mama! Come on!” Hurricane called out from the front door.
She quickly turned to the youngling as replied,” Alright I am coming!” Returning her attention back to the youngling she made her way to the front door.
Calysta could see that Hurricane was bouncing happily as she watched her quickly put on her black steel toe boots. She pulled down her blue jeans over her boots as she stood up with a grin,” Alright. Let’s head out.”
With a giggle Hurricane quickly exited though the front door, with Calysta following behind her, and locking up the door with keys she swiped from the side table that was next to the door. Out in the front of their small little one story home was a car that was a truck covered with a tarp and a black and red four wheeler ATV was sitting next to it. Calysta ran over to the ATV, climbing onto it as she switched her key from the house one to the key for the ATV. Once she started it up, she looked over at Hurricane with a smile,” Ready?”
Hurricane nodded as she ran toward the road, jumping into the air as she transformed into a small version of a FM-14 Tomcat and began to fly down the road Calysta quickly turned her ATV around and followed after her daughter, down the road she drove until she veered off into a off road path. Calysta would glance up at Hurricane who never really flew out of her range, when they came upon a small clearing, Calysta stopped her ATV and just sat upon it, closing her eyes and allowing the wind to caress her face.
She then heard the sound of metal scrapping against metal followed by the sound of Hurricane landing next to her. Calysta opened her eyes, turning slightly to see Hurricane looking at her with a confused expression. She laughed a small bit as she spoke softly,” I am just enjoying the crisp, clean air. It’s something I never got to enjoy back in the city.”
“Oh? What was it like in the city?” Hurricane asked softly, Calysta turned to look at her with a frown,” It’s crowded. People don’t respect boundaries or others. It can be a nice place one moment, but a cruel one the next. Especially when the sun rests and the moon rises.”
“Did you hate the city?”
Calysta let out a hum as she responded,” To an extent, but most of my time was defaulted to a library or conservation work at the museum. Never really more of anything else.”
Just as Hurricane went to ask more, a ringing echoed through the forest causing them both to pause before they began to giggle. Calysto reached into the compartment on the side of the ATV and pulled out her satellite phone. A smile spread across her lips as she flipped the thick black antenna upward, as she glanced at Hurricane and said,” It’s auntie Aren.” before she pressed the green button, “Hey Aren! ”
“What’s up, Little Mama? How are you and Hurricane doing?” Her friend asked with a hint of amuesment.
“Hurricane and I have been doing good. So what’s up?” Calysta asked with amusement as she glanced over at Hurricane who was giggling near her.
“Are you and Hurricane home by chance? Cause I’m getting kind of cold and I have something to talk to you about,” Aren asked with a cheeky tone.
Calysta blinked for a moment as confusion before quickly spitting,” You hoe! Are you here!?”
She could a deep rumble as if she was sitting in a large vehicle, however, it was over ridden by Aren laughing as she replied back,” Yes you bibliophile! Now you and Hurricane hurry up! I aint got all day!”
“We will be there in ten minutes, tops!” Calysta replied excitingly as she turned back on the ATV, out of the corner of her eye she could see Hurricane bounce happily before she quickly ran a bit aways form her and jumped into the air and transformed.
Calysta quickly hung up, put away her phone and turned her ATV around, following Hurricane back to their home. As they got closer, Calysta slowed a bit as she noticed a large blue with red flames Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. Calysta quickly looked up, just as she was about to call out for Hurricane to stop where she was at, she watched with a hint of suspicion as Hurrican flew right next to the truck and transformed. Calysta quickly punched her ATV to get to her daughter’s side when Aren exited the truck and pulled Hurricane into a hug.
Calysta stopped next to them, her eyes glanced at the truck before she turned her attention toward Aren and Hurricane and smiled. Just as the dark skinned woman turned to face her, Hurricane quickly chirped out innocently,” Mama! He is like me!”
Calysta blinked watching as Hurricane pointed to the truck that was next to Aren. As it sank it into her mind what exactly Hurricane said, Calysta’s eyes widened in fear, quickly she jumped off her ATV and ran over to Hurricane, pulling her behind her as she faced her friend. Aren quickly put up her hands as she said,
“Whoa! Hang on now! I promise Boss bot here is not an enemy. You know I wouldn’t put you or Hurricane in danger, Calysta.”
“Boss Bot?” Calysta parroted weakly as she held Hurrican closer to her body.
Suddenly, the sound of familiar sound of metal against metal echoed around them as the semi began to change and a large mech stood in front of them and spoke in a soft, yet commanding tone,
“My name is Optimus Prime. I am the leader of the Autobots. It’s nice to meet you both.”
Calysta could only stare in awe at him, and deep inside she knew that her and Hurricane’s world had just been turned upside down.
