Hi everyone, this is Alicornlover14 you can call Ali or whatever. I decided to post my first short story ever *yay* I want to know what you think. So here it goes!

<This happens right after Flashback<

“What! UNMATCHABLE, what do you mean?” Sophie gasped. Brisa and Juji shared a worried look.

“Well it means in the entire database there are no matches for you.” Brisa replied quietly.

“But, you can fix that. Right?” Sophie asked warily. Tears were beginning to prick her eyelids. Reaching up she grabbed one of her eyelashes and gave it a pull.

“Well it could have been your parents. If you had your real parents’ names it might be fixed.” Juji answered calmly. “Until we know what is going on you will have to leave.”

Standing Sophie walked numbly out of the room. She paused at the door way to the room with her parents. Or her adopted parents. With a flash of anger, she wished Mr. Forkle had told her who her real parents were. While Sophie had been thinking Grady and Elaine had seen her stopped in the doorway. “What is it?” Elaine asked, “You were gone a long time.”

Sophie looked up at them, “Can we just go home? I don’t want to talk about it yet, please”

Grady and Elaine smiled worriedly down at her, “Alright we will go. But are you sure you don’t need Elwin?” Grady asked trying to get a smile.

“No, I just want to go home.” Sophie responded.

Later that day…

“Sophie?” Sophie lifted her head out of the pillow to see Keefe standing in her doorway.

“Um, come in,” she replied. She had been hiding in her room since that morning. Grady and Elaine had left her alone when she stopped answering their questions. Sophie had been trying to plan how she was going to tell Fitz.

“Are you okay?” Keefe asked, “because Fitz told me you haven been answering your imparter. You also look kinda bad.” Sophie reached up and grabbed and eyelash to tug and turned away. Keefe came over to her bed and sat down. He grabbed her hand and pulled it down from her face.

“Hey I’m here. What is it?” Sophie looked at him and turned her head down.

“I went to the Matchmakers today.” She whispered, “and I was UNMATCHABLE.”

“So.” Keefe replied, Sophie looked at him. “Do you know why?” he asked.

“No but it might have to do with me not knowing who my biological parents are.”

“Then we need to visit Forkle, we need a meeting. I have not seen him in a few days.” That made Sophie remember she hadn’t seen Keefe for a few days either. She looked at him really looked at him. There were dark circles under his eyes and even his hair was unstyled. After Tam was taken Keefe had been quieter and made less appearances.

“Are you okay? She inquired.

“Well I never knew I could miss Bangs Boy,” Keefe said trying to make it a joke.

“No really,” Sophie pressed.

“Eh, not really. I have been having lost of Daddy time. Yay” Even Sophie had noticed Lord Cassius had been trying to do stuff with Keefe.

“You know what I mean,” Sophie said. Keefe just smiled softly at her.

“Hey I made you stop looking so miserable.” Sophie realized she hadn’t been thinking about the Matchmakers for a little.

“We need a plan. How about we Team-FosterKeefe the Blackswan’s hideout and search their records!” Keefe suggested looking more like himself than she had seen a while.

“Um, how about no, I will send a message to Mr. Forkle and ask him to meet.”

“Alright but storming their hideout would have been cooler.” Keefe grumbled, “and I am coming with you.”

“Okay,” Sophie answered and she smiled for the first time that afternoon.
