'''CHAPTER TWO!! Bold text''' “Everything is ready, set the timer to ten minutes and they will be out of danger.” Fitz informed the other two.

Setting the timer, Dex worried, and worried and worried. “Okay… Done! Tell Sophie to get out of there.”

Sophie got Fitz’s report and relayed the information to Keefe. “Told you we would be fine, come on. Let’s get out of here.” He, once again, draped his arms across her shoulders as soon as she got up and instead of blushing, she leaned in, right now, she needed to lean on something because she had a sneaking suspicion that something would happen.

By now, the speech had gotten away from humans and on to elves and loyalty. They were halfway to the exit, almost there, Sophie thought.

“STOP!” The ice cold voice was loud and commanding. Though they could not be sure if the word was directed at them they both froze and turned their heads toward the voice. It was her because, of course it was. Vespera, still wearing that ridiculous headpiece but it had a new bauble on it, red and black, was looking right at the two teens on their way to the exit. Keefe looked at Sophie and she could see a hint of panic in his eyes as they darted around, looking for a sliver of light, anything that could get the two of them out of there. “There are spies in our meeting place, ones who came in, smuggling a stunning bomb in order to take account of our numbers and our names,” Vespera’s icy, smooth voice said, automatically sending shivers down her spine Sophie’s eyes went wider than they already were, how could she know?

Keefe brought her attention back, almost dragging her toward a column of sunlight. “There!” Vespera exclaimed, pointing an accusatory finger at the two young elves dashing towards a beam of light. “Catch them!” Vespera ordered to the already racing guardsmen. They were holding a strange sort of gun. It was a mat black metal with no shine or embellishments and utterly terrifying. “Kill them! No hostages or prisoners!”

The beam of light was in the middle of the square but just past a gap in the guards was one of the fancier exits Keefe took her hand and turned her towards the left, “This way.” towards the exit and safety. That was when a fist sized, electric blue orb flew over their heads, narrowly missing the two. That big of a dose, the Soporidine could kill anyone, it almost killed Silveny, Sophie remembered seeing the beautiful alicorn thrashing on the ground and shuddered.

Then they were through the doors, the crowd was frozen and made no move against Keefe or Sophie. More Sopordine welding guards followed them out of the colosseum like structure behind them. They both ran, hand in hand, taking several turns until the were completely sure they had gained a block on their pursuers.

“We aren’t going to make it, Keefe, we need to hide.” Sophie said, her breath ragged and hoarse. Everything was blurry and undetailed, she was hyperventilating now. He just nodded, squeezing her hand and pointed at a blue fortress of a house to their right. They ran behind it and leaned against it, waiting for the guards to pass, apparently nobody had seen them dart behind the building.
