This chapters a little short so I'll try to post more soon! Sorry for the delay too, I've been pretty busy and stressed. Here you go:

'''“So let me get this straight.” Grady rubbed his temples and his nose scrunched. “You think that Keefe if a Mesmer? '''

'''Keefe fidgeted, at a surprising loss for words. '''

'''“I mean… what else would’ve made Ro stop so suddenly?” Sophie hoped there was an explanation. She knew first hand how powerful the ability was and how dangerous.'''

So if Gisela wanted Keefe to have it…

“Looks like Mummy Dearest has some interesting plans for me…” Keefe chuckled but the laughter didn’t quite reach his eyes.

Sophie put a hand on Keefe’s shoulder and looked him in the eye, “It’s going to be okay.” 

'''“I know Foster.” Keefe grinned. “I gotta keep the streak of me disappointing my parents going!”'''

'''“This isn’t something to joke about!” Grady yelled, slamming his fist on the table. “If what you’re suggesting is true… I can’t even imagine the possibilities of what your mother could want.”'''

“Relax, we don’t even know if it’s true.” Keefe scoffed, running a hand through his hair.

“Well… there’s only one way to find out!” Keefe stumbled back by Grady’s comment.

“You can’t expect me to…” When Grady nodded, Keefe asked, “How would I test it on anyway?”

'''“Me.” Sophie stepped forward. “No, I don’t want to hear it, you can’t always protect me. Try it Keefe.”'''

'''Grady sighed and stepped back. “I mean… it won’t hurt her.”'''

'''Keefe still looked terrified as he closed his eyes. “How am I supposed to do this?”'''

'''“Just picture whatever you want Sophie to do. If you’re a Mesmer, she’ll do it.” Grady seemed just as nervous as Sophie as he gripped her hand tightly.'''

'''Sophie counted 548 seconds until she felt something. It was like a warm trickle spreading up her back. It seemed to tighten around her and tug her away. Another stroke of heat dripped down her legs, pushing them forward. Suddenly her entire body was covered in this hot slime, making her sit. Then lie down. She tried to stand back up but the warmth was so heavy. It was pressing down. She gulped for air, the force pushing her chest into the ground.'''

'''“Keefe… stop it. Let her go.” Grady warned, approaching Keefe.'''

HIs eyes popped open and when he saw Sophie lying on the ground, unmoving, he started panicking.

'''“Is she okay? What did I do?” His eyes teared up as he stared at his hands in horror.'''

'''Sophie wanted to get up and hug him but the strange warmth was still chaining her to the floor. Her lips twitched as she tried to speak. '''

'''“Keefe. Let her go. Now.” Grady’s eyes flared up as he firmly gripped Keefe’s shoulder.'''

“I- I don’t know how!” He shuddered and started shaking.

'''The warmth started creeping into Sophie’s mind, her conscious shutting down. She tried in a frenzy to escape. She had one last idea. Keefe? She transmitted. Please let me go. Please.'''

'''Keefe’s eyes darted around and he scrunched his nose tight. Sophie felt the warmth being called back, leaving her body.'''

'''She picked herself back up but she was exhausted. '''

'''Grady seemed disappointed. “Well… that solves that.”'''

'''Keefe started backing up and when Sophie reached out to him, he jumped. “Please… don’t come near me. I’m dangerous.” His voice cracked and he pulled out a crystal.'''

'''Right before he lept away, Sophie could see the terror in his eyes. Jokes couldn’t save him this time.'''
