Okay, I was bored so I decided to write up another chapter. Here it is!

CHAPTER 10

'''Sophie groaned as she opened her eyes. She felt something heavy wrapped around her right arm, and a cloth wrapped around the other. She tried to sit up, but the pain in her side increased so dramatically, that she screamed as she lay back down. Immediately, Edaline and Grady entered the room.'''

'''“Oh sweetie, you’re awake!” Edaline cried as she rushed over to Sophie. She wrapped Sophie into hug and sobbed. Grady came too, and wrapped his arms around both of them. '''

'''“What happened?” Sophie whispered as they both pulled away. Edaline and Grady glanced at each other before saying, “It’s too much for you to know right now. What you need is rest.” Sophie rolled her eyes. '''

“How long was I out?” Sophie asked.

“Almost two weeks.” Edaline whispered, stroking Sophie’s hair.

'''“TWO WEEKS?” Sophie exclaimed. “I must’ve missed so much stuff.”'''

'''“You did, but you catch up on that later. Right now, I need to hail Livvy and Elwin to check you.” Edaline said, rushing to get her Imparter.'''

''' “I also need to hail Keefe. He’ll hate Edaline and I forever if I don’t tell him that you’re awake. He was here for the entire time, until his dad forced to go to school.” Grady added.'''

'''Sophie nodded. She felt bad for Keefe, with her being hurt, and his mother visiting. Edaline got up and left with Grady, right as Sandor entered the room.'''

'''“I’m sorry, Miss Foster.” Sandor said, sadly. “I failed to protect you again.”'''

“It’s okay, Sandor.” Sophie assured.

'''“No it’s not. You’re my charge. I should be protecting you at all costs.”'''

'''“It’s fine Sandor. See, look. I’m fine!” But Sandor just looked away.'''

'''“You don’t look fine.” he whispered. He was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Elwin and Livvy rushing into the room. Elwin flashed his orbs in a couple places and Livy took a few tests. Sophie winced wheever Livvy would touch her left arm. The bruises on her legs were pretty bad too. The were a shade of dark blue, which was not good. They said that her vitals were fine, and she should be fine soon. Elwin gave her a few elixirs to chug down. To Sophie’s luck, most of them tasted good. One even tasted like Mallowmelt. But one tasted horrible. It was like a mixture of bugs, mud, and vomit. Sophie almost threw up after drinking it. Elwin chuckled as he gave her a box of Prattles. Sophie stuffed half of them in her mouth to get the taste out. But she could still taste a tinge of it. Livvy put her bandages and cast off, after. It was the The Ooze Fest all over again, from when she and Fitz were stuck in the Healing center after the Neverseen attacked them. Grady and Edaline had to leave the room, and Sandor looked a but green. Livvy applied some poultices and them wrapped her arms up again. Elwin also gave her a painkiller to ease the pain in her arms. '''

'''“I’m glad you’re finally awake Sophie. I was missing my constant patient.” Elwin said with a wink. “But know you have to get a good night’s sleep after eating something.” Sophie sighed. She had already slept for two weeks. Edaline conjured up a bowl of broth and handed it to her. It was a pale pink broth. '''

'''“Flori gave me some herbs and a few Panakes blossoms that she thinks will help your healing.” Edaline said. Sophie nodded. Flori was such a sweet gnome. She does so much to help Sophie. As Edaline and Grady left the room to say bye to Elwin and Livvy, Keefe ran in the room. His eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he looked really tired. '''

'“Hey Keefe!” Sophie said, giving him a smile that hopefully said I’m alright!'' Keefe rushed over and wrapped Sophie in a hug. Sophie smiled as she leaned against his chest.'''

'''“Sophie, I’m so sorry for what my mom did to you. I sh-” Sophie cut him off before he could say anything else.'''

'''“It’s not your fault, Keefe. You didn’t do anything. It was your mom. And look, I’m fine!”'''

'''“No, you’re not Sophie.” Keefe said, pulling away. “You broke your arm, and got some serious wounds on the other. And you should see how pale you are.” Keefe was right. Looking from the mirror, Sophie’s skin was pale white, her greasy hair matted against it. Sophie needed a subject change.'''

“What happened to your mom?” Sophie asked.

'''“Sandor was able to capture Lady Gisela. Grady, Edaline, and the gnomes came just in time to help capture the dwarves. They called the Council and Elwin and Livvy. They also called the Black Swan and Team Valiant. There’s going to be a tribunal for Mommy Dearest. I’m pretty sure the dwarves are going straight to Exile.”'''

'''“See, that’s a good thing. When’s the tribunal?”'''

'''“Not sure yet.” Keefe answered. “They’re probably waiting for you to recover.” Sophie nodded and took Keefe’s hand.'''

'''“It’s going to be okay.” Sophie reassured him. Keefe nodded.'''

'''“What did my mom say?” Keefe asked. Sophie explained everything, from what she wanted, the deal she had to make, that Keefe manifested the wrong ability, and from what she found out about Glimmer.'''

'''“Looks like Mommy Dearest was trying to look out for me. But as usual, it was my job to make sure she failed!” Keefe said, smirking, but she could hear a hint of sadness. “And Luzia Vacker is Glimmer? Fitz is gonna burst!”'''

“I know.” Sophie sighed.

'''“You should sleep now. We'll dicuss all this later.” Keefe said softly. Keefe helped her get into a comfortable position, and put her blankets on top of her again.'''

'''“Thanks, Keefe.” Sophie muttered, softly. Keefe smiled, as he stroked her hair. As he sent cool, green breezes, Sophie immediately fell into a deep sleep.'''
