CHAPTER 5

'''When Sophie went into her room, she found Stina, Dex, Biana and Wylie waiting in her room. Sophie looked at the cage sitting on the bed. Inside, was Iggy, her imp, now dyed ice blue.'''

“Hi!” Biana said.

“Hey.” Sophie responded.

“You okay?” Dex asked. '''“Yeah. I just opened the cache with Oralie and I saw some surprising stuff. I think I’ll just transmit to you guys.” They all nodded so Sophie transmitted the memory to them. As it replayed in her mind, she could see her teammates faces change with shock. When the memory ended they looked at her staying silent. Then Wylie was the first to talk.'''

“The Neverseen have been around for that long?” he asked.

“Apparently.”

“Which means the Black Swan must’ve been around for longer than we thought.” Dex added.

'''“That must explain why Lady Gisela had bottles of shadowflux and quintessence.” Biana said. They all looked at her. “Think about it.” she continued. “The Neverseen have been using stellarlune to attack other species and gain control of them. Maybe Lady Gisela and Lord Cassius drank the vials because Lady Gisela could control Keefe. Keefe manifested as a mesmer. He can make people do whatever he wants and that exact type of control that the Neverseen needs.”'''

'''“Yeah. Gisela said that Keefe’s legacy was to be king of the dwarves. If Keefe is the king, then they already have one species in their hands.” Dex said.'''

'''“So, simple solution. We don’t let Keefe fulfill his destiny.” Stina said.'''

'''“Yeah, but it isn’t going to be as easy as you think. Gisela probably has something planned already. And Keefe won’t listen when we ground him in one place. He didn’t last time.” Sophie said.'''

'''“Should we tell Mr. Forkle this?” Wylie asked. “I also think we should tell Tam this. And maybe even Glimmer.” '''

'''“We can tell Tam and Mr. Forkle. But I don’t know about Glimmer. I don’t fully trust her.” Sophie said. Even though Glimmer helped save everyone, she still couldn’t completely trust her.'''

“I can go tell Tam.” Biana offered.

'''“It’s okay. I can tell him.” Wylie said. “I need to go talk to Linh anyways. She always with Tam because Tam is always with Glimmer, and Linh being super protective.” Sophie agreed noticing Biana glowering.'''

“Then I can hail Mr. Forkle.” Biana said.

'''“Do you think it would be a good idea to tell Lady Cadence about this?” Stina asked. Sophie nodded. '''

“Maybe I can try to invent something to control Keefe’s mesmerizing.” Dex volunteered.

'''“That’s a great idea.” Sophie replied. Then they all leapt away, to do their assignments. Sophie sighed. They did so much for Team Valiant. Sophie felt like she nothing compared to them. She got up and put Iggy in his cage. Just as she got up, she heard a knock on her door. She turned around to find Keefe standing in the doorway. Before Sophie could shoo him away he spoke.'''

'''“I’m sorry Sophie. For all the things that happened with me and Fitz.” he said, actually sounding very innocent and apologetic. And very adorable.'''

'''“I’m sorry too, Keefe. I overreacted.” she blurted out.'''

'''“Well, you had very right to.” he said softly. He walked over and sat on her bed.'''

“If you don’t want to do this dating thing, I understand.” 

'''“Yeah, but I want to.” Sophie said. Keefe looked at her, full of surprise. '''

'''“Would you care if I’m unmatchable?” Sophie asked. Keefe shook his head.'''

'''“Would you care that we would be a bad match?” Keefe shook his head again. Sophie smiled and waited for Keefe to look at her. And he finally looked up, she whispered “Then I think I love you.” Keefe face became red, and he grinned. '''

'''“I’ve never had someone say that to me. Not even my parents.” Sophie smiled softly.'''

'''“Well, you someone to say it now.” She sat down next to Keefe and placed her hand on his palm. He squeezed her hand gently and whispered, “I love you too, Sophie.” Sophie looked into his ice blue eyes as he leaned in. Her heart went into hummingbird mode. She closed her eyes as Keefe gently kissed, wrapping one hand around her waist, the other tangled in her hair. She brought her hands up, cupping his neck in her hands. As she kissed him back, she felt complete. Keefe gently pulled away and smiled a smile that made her heart flutter rapidly. '''

'''“Awww! You two are adorable!” Sophie and Keefe quickly pulled away from each other and turned around to find Ro smiling. Behind her, were Edaline and Grady. Edaline was giving her gushy smile, while Grady was scowling. Behind them was Sandor smiling. Sophie and Keefe turned red, head to toe.'''

'''“Now I don’t have to call you Miss Oblivious anymore!” Ro squealed. Sophie knew she and Keefe would probably have to face some problems with their friends, and Grady was most likely give them a long lecture to both of them, but Sophie didn’t care. With Keefe she felt happy and complete, and nothing would stop that.'''
