CHAPTER EIGHT - Dedicated to SoKeefe Rules!

A few hours later, Squall and Alden came back.

" Mom ! " the triplets and Dex squealed.

" Juline ! " Kesler cried as he joined the hug.

" Dad ! " Biana screamed as she and Della hugged Alden. Sophie held Keefe 's hand, knowing that he was thinking about his mother.

" How is she ? " Squall asked, stroking Edaline 's face.

" She 'll be up in a few days, " Elwin said from a corner of the room.

" If you 'll excuse me, I need to change , " Squall said as she went upstairs. Alden updated the Dizznees on what happened at Havenfield. When Juline came back downstairs, Sophie asked , " How 's Grady ? And Forkle , Blur , Wraith , and Granite ? "

Juline sighed as she sat down next to Kesler, " After the battle , I went to the Sanctuary to check on everyone . Grady 's the luckiest . Just a sprained ankle and a broken arm . Blur has a slight concussion . Wraith has 5 broken ribs . Granite has a slight concussion , but he 'll be okay . I brought them all to Livvie 's .The alicorns are fine and will be moved to a more secure area . "

" What about Mr. Forkle ? " Sophie asked. Keefe clutched her hand.

" His mind is broken, " Juline said , burying her face in her hands.

Sophie fought back tears ," When will he be stable enough so I can bring him back ? "

" Livvie says in a few days, " Juline said , tears running down her face.

" It 's been a long day . How about some dinner and then sleep ? " Kesler suggested, still hugging Juline.

" If you show me where everything is, I 'd be happy to make dinner , " Della said. Juline nodded. Then she, Della ,  and Biana all went into the kitchen. After a delicious dinner of rainbow stew that tasted like turkey, Della , Biana , and Alden went back to Everglen. Since Edaline couldn 't move, Elwin , Sandor and Sophie slept at the Dizznee 's house. Keefe and Ro insisted on staying too.

" For emotional support, " Keefe claimed , while Ro rolled her eyes. After the Vackers left, Juline set up a cot next to Edaline.

" Elwin, you 're in the guest bedroom on the second floor . First door to your left , " she said. Elwin nodded and went upstairs.

" You 'll sleep on the floor in my room, " Dex told Keefe as they climbed the stairs. Ro followed and muttered something like " Teenage boys ."

" Thaks for everything, " Sophie said as she hugged Juline.

" You are welcome, " Juline said as she went upstairs.

" Night, Sandor , " Sophie said as she fell asleep.

" Good night, " Sandor said.

" Pssst, Foster , wake up ! " a voice said , a few hours later.

" Keefe, go to bed , " Sophie mumbled , swatting him away.

" Trust me, Foster , you 'll love it , " Keefe promised , smirking when Sophie got up.

" Stay here, Sandor , we 'll be fine ," Sophie ordered. He nodded.

" C 'mon, " Keefe said , dragging Sophie to a balcony on the third floor.

" Wow, "Sophie said as she looked at the beautiful full moon.

" Worth it ? " Keefe, leaning closer to her.

" Yup, " was all Sophie was able to say as she noticed Keefe was very close to her.

" Interesting, " Keefe mused. Sophie turned red. Suddenly, their eyes locked. Sophie felt her eyes close as their lips touched. She decided that his lips tasted like peppermint and strawberry. She liked it.

"They kissed ! I win the bet ! You owe me a new sword ! " came Ro 's voice from a closet. Sophie and Keefe stopped kissing and let go of each other.

" Why is it always me ? " Sandor 's voice said.

" SANDOR ! " Sophie screamed at the same time Keefe screamed, " ROMHILDA ! "

" You called, Lord Hunkyhair ? " Ro asked , coming out of the closet. Sandor followed.

" You seriously had to spy on us ? " Sophie asked as both she and Keefe turned red.

" It was his idea, " Ro said , pointing to Sandor.

" I go where you go, " Sandor said , almost sheepishly. Almost.

" Um, I 'm going to get a drink of water , " Sophie said , eager to get out of that room. She quickly raced downstairs. Sandor followed.

" Sooo, is she a good kisser ? Should I expect to call her Lady Hunkyhair ? Or Lady Sencen ? " Ro asked , eyeing Keefe.

" RO ! JUST SHUT UP ! " Keefe said, still red , as he ran his hand through his hair.

" A kiss that took three years, " Ro muttered as they walked back to Dex 's room. Keefe glared at her as he walked into the room and layed down. Ro just batted her eyelashes and stood outside the door.

" You had to interupt, didn 't you ? " Sophie asked as she got under her blankets.

" What if the Neverseen grabbed you ? " Sandor asked, patroling the door.

" But they didn 't . And you had to interupt my first real kiss . Dex 's didn 't count, " Sophie said , shutting her eyes. Sandor muttered something but Sophie was too tired to hear it. Both Keefe and Sophie slept well that night.
