Chapter four

Sophie’s concentration fell apart, and she accidentally forced Fitz out of her mind. Linh bit her lip worriedly.

“What happened? Did you guys get in contact with Tam?” Linh asked. Sophie reached up for an eyelash. She tugged on off and flicked it away. She knew it was stupid and childish of her, but she made a wish.

Please let Tam be alright, she thought. She looked over at Fitz, His teal eyes were filled with hurt, but Sophie couldn’t care right now. She felt bad for not caring, but what about Tam? Poor Linh! She was too sweet to deserve this.

“Linh. . .” Sophie started, then hesitated.

I can tell her for you, if you need me to, Fitz transmitted. Sophie knew he was just r=trying to help, but she felt a flicker of annoyance in her at the message.

No, she transmitted back, It’s fine, thanks.

“We. . . well, we contacted your brother,” Sophie said. Linh face lit up, and Sophie the slight sting of tears in her eyes at having to tell her what happened. “But. . . the connection was severed by someone else before we could see if he was alright.

“He’s not alright, then?” Linh said, her lip quivering as she herself held back tears. Sophie felt her heart crack, just a tiny bit, at seeing Linh so sad.

“We don’t know that,” Sophie said.

“Yes, we do!” Linh snapped. Sophie recoiled, as if Linh had slapped her. Linh had never raised her voice, ever since Sophie had met her.

“Well, Biana’s expecting me. . .” Fitz said, and left. Sophie glared at his back, receding down the stairs. Way to run away, she thought to herself.

“Linh, it’s okay,” Sophie said, “The black swan will come up with a plan to save him, and if they don’t, I will myself. We’ll get him back. I promise.”
