Chapter 15 (Wow I didn't think I would make it this far):

Sophie's POV

'''Sophie felt happy. Like she was weightless, floating on a cloud of joy. Why? Because Fitz and her had cleared things up, and now they were for real. She sighed dreamily as she remembered their conversation from last night. It had started out with shouting. Lots of it, and mostly from Fitz, telling her that he felt betrayed...'''

'''But then, something snapped, and it felt as though a between them had crumbled. Sophie recalled his words.'''

'''"I'm... so sorry. I just... I'm afraid." Tears had been running from his beautiful eyes at this point. "I'm afraid of losing you... but I'm afraid of being a bad match because.... I don't want us to end up like Jolie and Brant. I like you too mutch, Sophie."'''

And then he had taken her hands in his, and bowed his head, not asking for an apology, just hoping that she would forgive.

'''And she had. And then he'd cryed some more, but not from grief. "I need you, Sophie. You're the only thing keeping me together these days." '''

"So, you don't care about me being unmatchable...?"

'''He'd laughed after she'd said that, and gently pulled her close, the warmth of his embrace keeping the cold of the night away. That butterfly feeling in her stomach erupted, and flew all throughout her body, making her giddy. '''

'''And then Fitz leaned in, and pressed his lips on hers, kissing her.... there was no other word for it... perfectly.'''

'''How long they'd stayed there, she didn't know- or care. All she knew was that it was the best moment of her life.'''

So if she was just a litte cloudy eyed during the Black Swan meeting that was taking place at Havenfeild, it wasn't her fault.

'''"Eh-em." Mr. Forkle cleared his throat, snapping Spohie's attention back to her surroundings. The collective and all her friends were seated in chairs that formed a circle in the living room. It was slightly crowded.'''

'''"Are you listening, Sophie?" Mr. Forlke was standing in the middle of the circle, looking at her.'''

'''"Oh, yes." She replied quickly, a lie.'''

'''"Then would you care to state your thoughts on the situation?" he asked, probably expecting her to freeze up.'''

We're talking about what to do with the leaping crystals. Fitz's accented voice filled her head.

'''"Oh!" Sophie said. "I think that we should go. Find out where they lead."'''

'''"Exactly!" Keefe said from the other side of the room. He was seated on his chair backwards, his arms resting on the back of the chair. He had started to style his hair again, Sophie noticed. '''

'''An uproar of responses broke out through the room, everyone trying to state their opinion. "That's a terrible idea!" Fitz was telling Keefe. '''

'''"They could lead us to Tam!" Lihn argued.'''

'''"That's enough!!" Fotkle shouted, and the room quieted. "We must consider the pattern of events. Every time we find something valuable, and follow it home, it turns out to be a trap." He said gravely.'''

'''"Which is why it could be different this time!" Sophie told him. "They wouldn't place the same trap twice!" '''

'''Mr. Forkle stared at her, his eyes narrowed. "But they know you, Sophie. They can predict your moves. Which is why I think that they knew you'd think that."'''

'''Wraith spoke. "I think that we should take a vote- just to see what everyone thinks- and then make a descision among ourselves."'''

'''"All right." Keefe said. "Those in favor of taking the crystals to wherever they might lead, finding out some secrets, and maybe bringing back Tam, say I." '''

'''A bout of "I"s rang through the room, and Sophie was one of them. '''

'''"Okay," Keefe said proudly. "All in favor of sitting around and doing nothing, say I."'''

'''No one spoke, but Sophie could tell that Fitz wanted to. '''

'''Keefe held up his hands. "The people have spoken, Forky. Do what you gotta do."'''
