Chapter 3

Sophie screamed. She collapsed into a sobbing mess and fainted. The news was to big, to huge, for her to understand at the time. She had just been drinking slumberry tea over and over again, occasionally waking up to one of Keefe’s thrashings, for the next week. Keefe would be declared next week. NO! NO! Sophie screamed in her mind. Reality was to harsh, so she was just going to stay in her nice little nook in her mind until it was safe again. You can fix this. It was Keefe. Sophie pulled herself together, opening her eyes. Keefe was lying beside her, and he seemed lifeless. His chest heaved with each breath, and it looked like he was an old man, about to wither away at any second. Sophie grabbed his hand. She looked around, seeing Ro and Lord Cassius. Ice ran through her veins. The father didn’t deserve a son like Keefe. Keefe deserved a loving, caring dad.

“Go away.” Sophie whispered harshly. Lord Cassius looked at her and told her, his voice raw and rough,

“Please fix my son.” Then he left. Sophie had watched him leave, and still was questioning what he said. It wasn’t like she could- oh. She could fix broken minds. In fact, she could fix him right now! Sophie jumped up, and quickly pressed her fingers against Keefe’s temple. She entered his broken mind, pushing through the sharp shards in his mind. She heard shouts for her to stop, but she didn’t.

Stop Foster. It was Keefe! Sophie pushed further, searching for the nook in his mind.

Stop! He told her, more loudly this time.

No, I need to fix you. Sophie insisted, pushing further.

I don’t want you to see too much.

It’s ok Keefe.

Promise.

I can’t-

THEN STOP! His voice banged around in Sophie’s mind, and her teeth grinded together. She still searched realizing the shards were now almost fully-formed memories. She smiled, and started to try to heal him, but stopped in the process.

Stop, the voice was weak, small. Sophie wanted to stop, but she reminded herself why she was there. She needed to heal Keefe. She pushed harder, until she found herself in a little nook. It was light in there, and she transmitted to him.

Keefe, please come back.

NO!

Please! We need you! Fitz has been-

FITZ DOESN’T CARE!

Sophie was shaken at the outburst, but still tried.

Then do it for me. I need you. I need you to be awake.

Leave me alone, I’m too dangerous. Sophie felt herself being pushed out of Keefe’s mind.

Keefe! Keefe! No! She returned to consciousness.

“Sophie?” It was Elwin. He had just been standing there the whole time. She started to cry. Then she turned to sobbing, and soon she was a mess. An exhausted mess, who cried herself to sleep.

“Sophie?” Sophie heard a voice bring her back.

“Sophie?” Sophie opened her eyes, and she found a teal-eyed person in front of her.

“Biana?” Biana smiled, nodding, and hugged her gently.

“You were out for 2 days. I was starting to get worried.”

“Two days!” Sophie exclaimed, surprised. Biana nodded, and Sophie realized how still the Healing Center was.

“Where’s Ro?” Sophie asked, curious of why the bodyguard wasn’t there.

“Oh I think she went to visit her father? I don’t know.” Sophie nodded, deciding to focus on Biana.

“How’s it going.” She hadn’t caught up with Biana in a while.

“I’m good. Oh! Guess what. I think that someone has a crush on me…” Sophie grinned evilly and whispered,

“Who?” Biana smiled and announced loudly,

“Dex!” Then a certain periwinkle -eyed boy walked into the room.

I'm sorry this is badly written and rushed, but I had a lot of free time and whipped it up in about an hour so yea.... enjoy!
