Chapter eight

'            Sophie wrapped her mind around the ember and fanned it trying to get it to come to life but it went out leaving Sophie alone and could  Keefe! called Sophie don’t leave me please, Fitz needs you so does Bianna and Dex, Lynn, and even Tam, and Silveny don’t go!, I need you ……. ''Keefe didn’t reply to her so she pulled herself from his mind and opened her eyes. Flori was finishing her song and Elwin was making his way over to her “Alright Ms. Foster I think you should head home now let Keefe get some rest. I assume I’ll see you tomorrow evening?” he asked. Sophie nodded, and watched as he did a check up on Keefe. “I hope to see you back here tomorrow Flori” he said “because whatever gnomish magic you just pulled has stabilized him well, We may even have a recovery day set soon!” '''

Flori blushed, but Sophie’s eyes got wide and she looked at Elwin “Do you know when?” 

Elwin shook his head, I haven’t the slightest idea but hopefully soon we will have an estimate time or date.” 

Sophie sighed but nodded “Ok goodnight then.”

Elwin smiled “Thank you, and Sophie?

“Yes?”

“Try and get some rest tonight I haven’t seen circles like that since before Silveny.”

'''       Sophie turned to leave and Flori followed her out Sandor took his place at Sophie’s side and he glanced down at her “ are you up for a teleport or should we use the home crystal?” he asked. '''

'''        “The crystal.” said Sophie pulling a bubble around everyone and pulling out her home crystal. She held it up to a light and let the warm light pull her away. When she reformed at Havenfield Edaline was waiting for her. She helped her up the stairs and stood with her as Sophie’s bodyguards completed their nightly sweep of her room. When they were done Sophie changed and collapsed into bed, Edaline sat on the edge of her bed and brushed some hair from Sophie’s forehead. Transmitting to Keefe had taken more from Sophie than she would have expected, but what had she expected, she had been trying to reach him for days? '''

'''        Edaline kissed her forehead and wished her goodnight, then clapped her hands to shut the blinds and left. Sophie drifted into a nightmare,'' Keefe was awake, that was always how it started, Sophie went forward to greet him, and her embraced her back but she realized too late that he was reaching into her pocket and grabbing a crystal, that they had somehow gotten from the Neverseen, he held it up to the light in the Clinic and was whisked away taking Sophie with him. '

'            Then they burst free into a stone platform where Lady Gisla and Grethen were waiting in their cloaks, she held one out to Keefe and he took it putting it on. Sophie begged him to stop but he  didn’t look at her and Lady Gisla commanded “Come, Keefe bring the girl,” then Keefe had stretched his hand forward and dark black darkness seeped from his fingertips and crawled at Sophie. She tried to run but it closed around her and everything went black. Dark claws reached for her and screams gurgled from far below, wrapping around her like a smothering blanket. Sophie realized the screams were coming from her friends Tam, Lynn, Bianna, Dex and Fitz.'
