Chapter 2

“I’m here,” said Sophie. Keefe closed his eyes and sighed exhaustedly. At that moment, Elwin burst into the room and instantly made Keefe chug a bunch of elixirs. Keefe winced twice as much as he swallowed each on. When Elwin was done, Mr.Forkle kneeled beside Sophie and said to him, “Mr.Sencen, do you feel any different than before?” “Well,” said Keefe with a weak smirk, “other than the fact that mommy dearest almost killed me and I had to chug down a million elixirs, I don’t feel any different. Oh, and also, Foster over there is sending me a flurry of worry.” Sophie felt her face get hot as she stepped away, knowing that it was probably unnecessary to worry. “Sorry,” she mumbled. “Nah, it’s fine,” said Keefe, then broke off into a coughing fit. Elwin ran into the room again freaking out and flashing a bunch of orbs around Keefe’s face before making him drink another dozen of gross-looking elixirs. “So,” started Keefe when his coughing fit had calmed down and Elwin had warned them that they only had five more minutes of visiting time, “Did you miss me?” “Well,” called Ro from the corner and Sophie seriously wondered how she could forget that there was an ogre in the room, “I had lots of time to plan that punishment.” She flashed her own smirk as Keefe groaned and sunk deeper into the cot. “Are you seriously going to let her do this to me Foster?” he whined. “Even if she tried, she couldn’t,” said Ro with a wicked grin, “But we all how much your eyes are very convincingly adorable. I mean, ice blue is the color of all colors. Sure teal is nice but ice blue. That is a color to love, a color to cherish, a color to-” “Okay! Visiting time is up,” said Elwin walking in with another tray of elixirs. Keefe groaned. Mr. Forkle stood up and asked Elwin, “When will we be able to start testing to see what   Mr. Sencen’s new, uh, ability will be?” “Not today, said Elwin, “But maybe tomorrow. Keefe groaned again, “Mother of the Year always leave the best presents, doesn’t she.” Elwin set the tray of elixirs in front of Keefe, who made a face. Ro laughed from the corner, “If you’re worried about a few bad-tasting medicines, Hunkyhair, I worry how you’ll react to my punishments! Of course, Sophie should totally help me, but since she’s probably going to be your girl-” “Hey aren’t visiting hours over!” whined Keefe before gulping down the last elixir. “That’s right!” said Elwin, “You need to get some sleep.” “But he just slept for a week!” said Sophie. “A WHOLE WEEK!” exclaimed Keefe. “But it wasn’t restful sleep,” said Elwin. “But-” started Sophie as Elwin herded them all out of the Healing Center. “Nope,” said Elwin, Keefe needs his rest. With that. The door closed leaving Ro, Mr. Forkle, and Sophie all together. As they walked down the hallways of Foxfire, each one’s mind on a different thought, they could hear Keefe breaking into another coughing fit. They stepped out onto the lawn and Mr. Forkle and Sophie held out their leaping crystals. “Oh, I don’t think you want to do that,” came a sickening voice. And out of the bushes, stepped Lady Gisela.
