Ok I finished chapter 1! I was half-asleep while writing basically all of it, so it is destined to be pretty sloppy. I will edit it later, and to warn you, this is the only chapter that is completely different form my other fanfic.

Preface

Ice ran through Sophie’s veins as she faced a woman covered in black. Her cold eyes glaring at Sophie’s. This was the woman who caused all this, who started everything, and Sophie would end it. But how? That was the question. She was tired of trying to follow the Neverseen’s clever and tricky plans, tired of trying to sort them out and mess them up. She knew now that it wouldn’t work. What she needed to do now was make her own path, and not based off of the Neverseen’s. That was the only way they could get ahead in this war.

“Hello Sophie.” The lady walked closer, her ice blue eyes gleaming with smugness. Sophie refused to answer, instead building up hatred for the lady. This time she would break free from the bonds she was in. Lift all the weight from her shoulders. She would end this by herself. It was the only way.

“Refusing to speak won’t change anything Sophie. So will inflicting, I know you’ll be trying that.” She looked confident, but her voice shook a little. It gave Sophie confidence, fuel, and she felt the hatred build up in her. She grabbed a bit of love too, hoping the mixed emotions would leave a more powerful mark. Sophie looked straight into the Lady’s eyes. Her son had almost the exact same eyes as her, and it broke Sophie!s heart to think that her son had to be raised by this awful elf. Sophie would make things right, she would.

“Hello Miss Gielsa, or should I say, Goodbye?” Then Sophie let the emotion consume her, and she felt it rip apart the forcefield Gielsa had put up, and it slowly destroyed the enemy.

Chapter 1

“Hello Miss Foster.” Sophie turned her head to the deep voice that had appeared, finding Mr. Forkle standing behind her and The Councillor Who Must Not Be Named. Sophie quickly stuffed the cache into one of her many pockets, grateful that Flori had made the useful and comfortable  yet beautiful dress for her, hoping that Mr. Forkle hadn’t noticed her. He raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

“Did I interrupt something?” Sophie shook her head, hoping Councillor-Who-Was-Not-Her-Mom was doing the same. Mr. Forkle seemed suspicious when he said,

“Well then I guess you won’t mind when I take Sophie away for a quick moment.” Councillor-Lying-Curls nodded, turning her azure-blue eyes to Sophie’s honey brown eyes. Mr. Forkle then beckoned for Sophie to follow him into the woody part of Havenfield, a part that Sophie hadn’t explored in forever. Mr. Forkle began the conversation with a simple,

“I need to tell you something.” Sophie nodded, encouraging him to go on,

“The Black Swan found information about Stellarlune.” Sophie’s breath caught for a second. The bloated old elf was a leader of the rebellious organization, named the Black Swan, and had several identities. The ones Sophie knew were Mr, Forkle, Sir Austin, and Magneto Leto.

“What is it?” Sophie demanded, hoping for some good, juicy info about the mysterious substance. She instead, got the opposite.

“It is a mix of Shadowflux and Quintessence.” Sophie sighed in disappointment. Sure this was still big, but how would it help her figure out all these endless questions she longed to answer.

“There’s something else.” Mr. Forkle notes, and they stopped in front of a huge Oak Looking tree. “It changes the abilities of an elf.”  Sophie gasped as an idea popped into her brain.

“Do you think it has anything to do with… Keefe?” Sophie asked questionably.

“I actually do.” Mr. Forkle admitted, looking away and stopping in a clearing in the center of the wood. “I’ll look into it, but right now I should go. I will see you soon Miss Foster.” Sophie nodded, waving goodbye at him and struggling to find her way to her house. Miss Councillor LyingPants was gone, so Sophie could rest the rest of the day. She requested from Edaline some Mallowmelt and started to think about the events that had happened. Her mind drifted to what had gone down in Loanmore, and the moment that she felt like she’s had lost Keefe, when he had complained about being tired. Little did she know that he would soon be marked as ‘Unresponsive’ and ‘Unconscious’ just a few hours later. She missed Keefe already, more than she wanted to admit, and was hoping he would come back to soon. Edaline brought in Sophie’s Mallowmelt with a kiss on the head, and then left Sophie alone to stare at her bedroom wall for the next 2 hours. The sun had set, and Sophie was getting drowsy, so she decided it was time for sleep, which she had been deprived of for over a week. It felt nice to take a long, steaming hot, soapy shower  and feel the soft fuzziness of her pajamas again. As she lay in her giant bed, she stared at the ceiling, wondering what new ability Keefe might manifest. Her eyelids started to slowly close, and she shifted into a more comfortable pose, fully ready to fall asleep when she heard her imparter ring. She groaned, debating for a few seconds whether she should or shouldn’t answer. She answered the call reluctantly, seeing that it was Elwin.

“Good news Sophie! Keefe is seeming to be responsive again!” Sophie nodded, exhausted, and mumbled something that sounded a bit like,

“Ohmk urrr.” Elwin ended the call, soon realizing just how tired she was, and left her to get a good night’s sleep.

The dreams. They were strange, yet peaceful. More like memories, but how she  wanted them to turn out. She was replaying the scene where Fitz told her he loved her. Fitz was her ex-boyfriend, and he was a charming and particularly handsome young man, although Sophie had to admit he did have some anger issues. For a second another boy flickered in in Fitz’s place, and Sophie recognized him. The messy blonde hair, the broken ice-blue eyes. It was Keefe, her close friend who was currently unconscious. Sophie was confused, but she soon forgot of the dream when a loud beep! was heard. Sophie looked around groggily, picking up her imparter and answering it, finding an exhausted Elwin on the screen.

“Hey Sophie can you ask… Edaline and… Grady if they can bring… Slollyberries?” He yawned in between his words, making it hard to interpret what he said, but Sophie nodded slowly, shouting for Edaline and Grady too bring the Slollyberries too the healing center. Then she realized, Keefe was there. She should visit him. She slipped on some furry boots, and put on a robe on top of her fuzzy pajamas. She jogged downstairs, finding Edaline and Grady about to light leap away. Sophie grabbed Grady’s wrist, and he didn’t resist.

“Foxfire.” They drifted into the light and wind, carrying them to the elaborate school for elves. Sophie sprinted to the healing center, leaving her parents in the dust, and burst into the Healing Center without even knocking. It looked pretty normal, except for the fact that Keefe was whimpering and curled up in a ball, writhing in pain. Elwin p’s head popped out from behind his office door, and he looked surprised and worried to see Sophie there.

“Hey Sophie… How about you wait outside ok? This will get messy.” Sophie shook her head, but Elwin eventually pushed her outside,mooching the healing center door. Sophie paced back and forth, knowing that Keefe was in pain and that something was wrong. About thirty minutes later Elwin unlocked the door, and told Sophie the news.

“Hey Star Patient.” The nickname was a remnant from the many times Sophie came to the Healing Center. “I have news. So, we need you to check Keefe’s mind because… um…” Then an ear splitting scream was heard in the room. Something was definitely wrong.

I will just post most of the chapters on here till I decide it's time to start a separate page for this
