Here's Chapter 5. Again, I'm sorry about how rushed this seems, I just know that I won't be able to finish it if I don't get through the plot quickly. Here ya go and I hope you enjoy!

'''Keefe reached to put a hand on Sophie’s shoulder put she slapped it away. '''

'''“No!” She snapped. “You are not allowed to comfort me.”'''

'''Fitz straightened and a small grin appeared on his face. '''

'''“I’m not taking your side either!” Keefe and Fitz awkwardly buried their heads. “I told you I wasn’t ready for that so why…” '''

'''Sophie’s eyes teared up as she transmitted to Dex, ignoring the rules of telepathy. '''

'''“Could you fill them in? I just can’t…”'''

'''Dex nodded, glaring daggers as Fitz and Keefe. Sophie pulled out her home crystal, shaking her head as the light swept her away.'''

'''The green pastures of Havenfield had never felt so big as Sophie ran across them. She darted up the stairs and slammed the door to her room. '''

'''Edaline came rushing in with a look of concern on her face. “Sophie… are you okay?”'''

'''Sophie stared up at Edaline, weeping even more at seeing her mom’s worry. '''

'''“Oh baby…” Edaline sat down on Sophie’s bed, stroking her hair. “What happened?”'''

“Keef-f-fe and F-f-fitz we-ere-” Sophie sobbed, covering her face in her hands.

“Honey…” Edaline wrapped her arms around Sophie.

'''Sophie shrugged her off. “You… knew?”'''

'''Edaline eyes watered as she forced a nod. '''

The last of Sophie’s tears vanished, replaced by anger and frustration.

'''“I’m so sorry…” Edaline hands were fidgeting, as she flushed red. '''

'''“No…” Sophie stood up. “I’m so tired of everyone knowing everything before me.”'''

“That’s not true!” Edaline stood with her, trying to hug her again.

'''“Forkle knows who my dad and mom are. Everyone knew I would be unmatchable, and know this? Did I not deserve to know?” '''

'''Sophie ran out the door, rushing to the pastures. She was instantly flooded with choruses of “fly, fly, fly?” '''

'''Sophie agreed and hopped on Silveny’s back. '''

“Where where where?” Silveny bombarded, flapping her wings.

'''Sophie couldn’t exactly put her thoughts into words but Silveny seemed to understand the feeling. '''

'''She dive bombed, racing towards the ground. A crack of lightning struck through the air, opening a gap into the void. As they raced through, Greyfall, Luna, and Wynn followed close behind.'''

'''A warm mist filled the air, delightfully prickling at Sophie’s hands. A breeze fluttered at Sophie’s neck, sending a chill down her spine. Butterflies danced around her head, creating a whirlwind of color. Sophie sighed, letting the humid air spread through her lungs, refreshing and rejuvenating her energy. '''

'''Sophie didn’t know how long she would stay there or how much trouble she would be in for stealing four of the world’s most important and rare creatures. She didn’t even care as she collapsed on the mossy rock beside her, closing her eyes. '''

'''When she finally gathered enough courage to pry them open, something felt off. Silveny and Greyfall took protective stances around her and the twins, guarding them. Sophie stood up and pulled out one of her goblin throwing stars.'''

'''Sophie felt arms wrap around her neck, and as she was turning, something metal locked on her head. Instant pain seared all of her coherent thoughts, leaving her utterly useless as she was swept up and the world went dark. '''

'''The last thing she thought to do was transmit to Silveny, “Get help!” However where she normally felt her favorite animal’s presence, all she found was a wall of steel, locking her out and in to her very own prison. '''
