Chapter Twenty-four

'''      Sophie spun around as the door opened cutting Jensi off. Elwin rushed inside to office and his gaze landed on Sophie, “Ah, Sophie darling I just wanted you to know that you are welcome to stop by Keefe on your way out,” he seemed unconcerned that Mr. Forkle was staring at him annoyed and Jensi looked surprised, Blur had faded into the backdrop. “Welp, anyways,seya soon!” He dashed out before anyone could say anything. '''

      Sandor poked his head inside and asked “Everyone ok?”

     “Yes” answered Sophie.

'''     He ducked out and Jensi turned to look at Sophie, “Ok, anyways I manifested as a Descryer.” He paused letting that sink in, “I guess I must be related somehow to Terik, I mean we both have wavey brown hair, and I guess our eyes are similar. Whatever it is I’d like to keep my ability secret that way I don’t need to worry about the Neverseen” He glanced at Sophie as though she might call him a coward but she remained silent. “The only person other than those is the room is Terik, according to Mr. Forkle over here,” he waved his hand at Mr. Forkle, “I’m going to get trained by him.”'''

“That's a very unusual thing to manifest as you know?”

“Yes,”

'''     “Ok then” said Mr. Forkle interrupting their conversation, “It’s time you met Blur, the real Blur, keep in mind thought that he has asked you to keep his identity secret from others, even Fitz,” Sophie nodded, “Ok Blur?” The fazed out of focus parts of him returned to normal and then standing before her was Jensi’s brother. She stared at Jensi shocked but he looked as though he wasn’t surprised, '''

“Jensi is this the first you’ve seen of him like this?’ Sophie asked , 

'''      Jensi shook his head “No I’ve known that he was Blur for ages now. I just didn’t tell you because he asked me not to. Why do you think I reached out to you at foxfire?” Sophie gulped, was he really just spying on me this whole time?'''

“Didn’t our friendship mean anything to you?!” SOphie asked, desperate for truth.

      “Oh Sophie” Jensi’s eyes filled with compassion, “Of course it did I love being you friend, and I hope knowing this” he pointed at Blur, “Doesn’t change it” Sophie relaxed at least he wa still her friend, She got her first good look at Blur/ Jensi’s brother, He had deep blue eyes like Jensi and their features were the same, his hair was one or two lighter shades than Jensi’s though.

“I’m Sophie” she said sticking out her hand, “But I guess you already know that,” he took it eagerly and shook it.

'''      “My real name is Aeren (I know that’s not what SM will name him if he is really Blur, but I just came up with it, DON’T JUDGE!) You’re right it is really rare for him to be a Descryer, but he may really be related to Concillar Terik after all.” Jensi grinned looking every bit like the nerd Sophie remembered him as. '''

Mr. Forkle cleared his throat, “Sophie we should try as fix your abilities now,”

“How?”

'''       “The process is simple however,” Sophie knew well enough that a simple thing never meant that it wasn’t painful or hard to endure. “We are still testing it so there is a small chance that you will not get them back today….” his voice faded away and Sophie raised her head to look him in the eye,'''

       “Whatever you need to do get it done please,” Sophie remembered Keefe’s saying to Foster it up, meaning to suck it up and deal with the pain.

'''“Alright all you need to do is hop in here, he held out an identical gold square. '''

'''       “Ok” Sophie took it and focused on the rage monster, Hey she called to it, the beast snarled barely contained, in response, Hi there buddy how about you send some of that rage into Mr. Square her? It didn’t reply but as she grasped the Paragon began to glow. '''

      “Woah” said Jensi taking a step back, “Uh that's supposed to happen right?” his voice shook and Sophie had to stop herself from laughing.

'''       “Yes brother” assured Aeren placing a hand of Jensi’s shoulder and gently guiding him away from Sophie and Mr. Forkle. When they were at a good distance Mr. Forkle stepped away and motioned for Sophie to jump. She placed the Paragon on the floor and hoped a lifetime worth of hoping that her powers would return, and then she jumped in.'''

'''        Instead of the thick, black, murky liquid she had felt before she felt as though she was falling through clouds. Which was probably what Mr. Forkle had felt, only moments later she hit the bottom lightly and opened the door there, she stumbled out of the blissful peace and into Magnate Leto’s office once more. The portal promptly closed behind her, Mr. Forkle rushed forward to catch her but Sophie steadied herself, she felt way better than before. “So?” asked Mr. Forkle the hope in his voice evident. '''

'''       Sophie tried to tell him something but it shot right back at her giving her a headache. The rahe monster woke as Sophie grew more frustrated. “Ugh! Clearly not,” '''

'''      “Calm down Ms. Foster, I can take it back and tweak it later today, in the meantime you can go check on Keefe. Jensi, you and Aeren should go home before you miss. He patted Sophie’s back as he headed outside, leaving Sophie alone. She walked the halls abit glancing at holograms of student reports that hung on the walls, She lifted herself above the ground and hovered around for abit testing her mental strength on small things like benches and chairs. Finally she came upon the healing center and she stumbled into disaster. '''

'''       Lady Gisela was with Grethen, Grethen had Keefe held in the air suspended above himself using telekinesis, Lady Gisela was tieing Elwin to a chair. Both were facing Elwin with their backs on Sophie so they hadn’t yet noticed her. Thinking fast Sophie used her mind to snatch every last one of Elwins potions and simultaneously chucked them at Lady Gisela and Grethen, Grethen was smashed in the head with four before he went down but Lady Gisela was more fortunate and deflected most of them.'''

'''          “Ah Sophie, darling have you come to visit Keefe, well too bad,” she caught a vail and threw it back at Sophie, “He. Is. Off. Of. Bed. Rest.” With each word she caught more vials and sent them flying back towards Sophie, Sophie jumped behind Elwins chair and tried to cut through the bonds but they were too thick. '''

'''      “Sophie honey do you want to say goodbye to my son?” she taunted baiting Sophie to come out. '''

'''“He’s no son of yours you menace! He is kind, loyal and a thousand times better than you!”'''

'''      “Really? Loyal? Is that why he chose to run off with the Neverseen?” Lady Gisela laughed “no Sophie, he isn’t loyal, not more than Glimmer, anyways” She had caught Keefe and was holding him at her shoulder. Sophie stood and glared at her taking a step forward. “Please,” she said sarcastically, “we both know any powers you had are gone now, you can’t touch me,” inside Sophie the rage monster was roaring and clawing to get free but Sophie contained it, afraid that if she let it lose that it would consume her. She tried to think of a way out but with the help of others how could she do anything but watch?'''

“So… it was you who tried to take my powers?” Sophie asked causing Lady Gisela falterer.

'''         “Tried? I’m quite sure that we got them all,” she glanced down at Grethen and frowned. Sophie couldn’t stop the rage monster from clawing its way to the surface. How dare she take Keefe, How dare she take my powers, How could she tie up Elwin or force Tam to join her. Sophie stared at Lady Gisela who was kicking Grethen and telling him to wake up, but none of it mattered. Sophie knew that she had said that the powers she had were gone, not the one’s she had gotten recently. '''

'''        She scanned the doorway Sandor, Em, Tarina, and Flori hadn’t yet come. It was up to Sophie to get them out of this alone without her other abilities she had only one choice…..'''



Keefe

'''        He felt Sophie there with him,at the Dwarven palace and then he faded into unconsciousness. Sophie would come often each time calling for Keefe but nothing could bring him back''. No I’m not going back'', he thought, days passed and Keefe became aware that Sophie came to him every day, so did Fitz and Biana, and Dex and Even his father but none of it mattered. ''Sophie hates me I left her so many times that this broke the chord, if I hadn’t gone then I’d be awake, If I’d tried harder maybe Tam wouldn’t have left to join the Neverseen, If I tried harder I would have known the his mom was leading the Neverseen, maybe just maybe if I’d been nicer Sophie would have loved me…. '

'''        Keefe was broken, there wasn’t anything else to say….. He could have woken up days ago but he was broken, not like Alden or Pretence, he was fully aware and he could wake up if he wanted but, but no he was better off sleeping without having to worry about life. Sophie was the reason his mind has not shattered, her beautiful blonde hair, her smile, her care to help and save everyone around her no matter the cost to herself. But she loved Fitz. Fitz he had been a good friend but he was selfish and he took his anger out on everyone, including Sophie which took every bit of Keefe’s will not to attack fitz for. He felt the desperate emotions coming from Sophie whenever she walked in, fanning his way like a waterfall. When Flori had sang to him it had calmed him, making him really want to wake up but no, life was easier this way. '''

'''       The day went his reched mother had come he’d been asleep and Elwin had been going about his usual business, when Bam! Just like that she was there tieing Elwin down and binding Keefe. Telling him that he would soon fulfill his Legacy. When Sophie had come in Keefe had watched silently as she threw bottles of potions at his mom. Inside he was cheering her on, outside he lay motionless. '''

'       But then Sophie had changed her determined feelings morphing into an overwhelming wave of rage that blew Keefe away. Who knew one could be so mad?'' He wondered to himself quietly. Sophie stepped up to face his mother and his mother started to taunt Sophie saying that she’d taken Sophie’s powers. This made Keefe mad, the one main reason why he wasn't too worried about Sophie was because she had so many powers to protect herself with. If his mom took them then what could Sophie do to protect herself. Still she stood there bravely as Lady Gisela kicked Grethen to wake him up. '''

'''         Then she unleashed it, thousands of sparks of electricity shot from Sophie frying the whole room and Collapsing Lady Gisela with it Keefe fell to the floor with her. Grethen jerked wildly along with Lady Gisela giving Keefe loads of satisfaction. Sophie herself seemed unharmed, but her power swelled and grew spreading around the neer hallways. Keefe knew he must stop it so he called on the forbidden power that he had acquired during his little transformation. He expelled it outward stopping Sophie and her new ability in their tracks. '''

'''          Foot steps raced toward them and Sandor burst in along with Tarina, and Flori. Someone else raced in behind them, it was a girl with blonde hair and icy blue eyes just like him, ''Who is she? Where is she from, and why does she look so much like me? Questions swirled in Keefe’s head but he had already used too much of himself for today and he still din’t want to wake up, yet. Yet!?'' Keefe thought with surprise. ''When did I ever want to wake up? 'H''e settled back into his quiet form and said nothing, but he didn’t have to, soon he would wake up with a ready plan to defeat his mother, but first he needed a plan.
