 Chapter eleven 

Sophie gave a small gasp and pulled away.

“Oh, um, sorry,” they both said at the same time. Sophie laughed awkwardly. “We should, uh, go back to the house. I pressed my panic switch, so people will be freaking out.”

Fitz nodded awkwardly, and they made their way through the thick trees back to Everglen. On the way back, Sophie noticed more and more mirrors, placed by Vespera, probably, in the foliage. It was making sense now. Fitz had been making ripplemuffs innocently in the kitchen, expecting her to be waiting for him. Alvar had snuck through the back door, kidnapped him, and used his vanishing to sneak around and place the mirrors, and left.

And then they replaced Fitz with the illusion. And brought Fitz into the woods. What would’ve have happened if she hadn’t chased after him? Sophie shuddered thinking about it.

“Are you cold?” Fitz asked her, concern in her eyes. It was almost enough to convince her to forgive him. Almost.

“No,” she responded stiffly. She kept walking. “Are you okay?” she asked Fitz. They must’ve done something to him to knock him out or paralyze him.

“I’m fine,” he muttered. Sophie rushed towards the light spilling out the windows of Everglen’s mansion.
