(Hullo! This is the first chapter of Part 2. Part 1 switched between Keefe and Sophie's POV, this part will switch between Amy's and... someone else's. You'll see who in Chapter 6!)
Chapter 5:
Amy POV
Amy had been sitting in her room, doing homework, when suddenly, a buzzing noise filled the room. She looked over at her phone; it was dark and silent. That meant... "Oh, no no no..." she said out loud. Her parents were home, and if they came upstairs and saw her on a strange device talking with elves... well, there would be questions. MANY questions. She sighed and walked over to her Imparter, but she couldn't help thinking about how strange the timing of this call was. Mr. Forkle, the old wrinkly guy, only called once per month, or if something was extremely urgent. And since it had been less than two weeks since their monthly call... Amy could only imagine the horrifying things he could be calling her about. Horrible images swam through her mind: black-cloaked figures barging into her house and taking her parents; her parents, bloody and bruised, after being rescued by Sophie from Atlantis... Amy shook her head. Most likely it was none of that stuff. Maybe it was the elves' version of a butt dial, or Forkle had something small to tell her. Besides, Amy reasoned, mom and dad couldn't have been taken, because they are downstairs. And it was true. Even from upstairs, with the door closed, Amy could hear the sounds of her mom vacuuming, and her dad preparing dinner. Not only were they clearly safe, they were too busy to come get her in the next ten minutes. At least, that's what Amy told herself as she reached for the Imparter. But once she saw the screen, which told her who was calling her, she dropped it from surprise. Because it wasn't Mr. Forkle who was calling her. The Imparter clearly said, even after Amy picked it up and rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things, "Keefe Sencen is hailing you."
