Chapter One
Oh, great Fitzphie is happening. I think watching my crush and Sophie holding hands. Marella, aren't you supposed to be over him? I knew deep down I wasn't. Sophie can have anything she wants. All I get is a forbidden ability, training with the enemy. I just stand here pretending to be happy for them, because they're my friends.
"I'm gonna go home and sleep," I mumble.
"By Marella!" Sophie calls as I leap away.
As soon as I get home I crash onto my bed. Little did I know, my life will never be the same.
Chapter Two
I wake up taseting something gross. "Ew." I mutter, opining my eyes to see, a non elven home. "Where am I?" I ask my self
"Uh at home in your bed." A stranger says.
"Who are you!?!" I ask her.
"Your sister, Amy?" Amy sighs "Do you have aminehiea or something?"
"No!" Amy raised an eyebrow. "I just...blacked out!"
"Mom wants to talk to you Sophie!" I'm Sophie?
"Uh ok." I mutter. I walk out of Sophie's room startled. I look around unsure of how to navigate Sophie's house. Amy rushes past me so I follow her untill I see two adults, who I assumed to be Sophie's parents.
"Sophie I'm going to work now, please prepare for you field trip today." Her mom informs me.
"Ok...Mom?" I answer.
"Go get dressed Soybeen." Sophie's mom requests. Go to the room I woke up in and dress up in this yellow and brown shirt. Most of Sophie's clothes are shades, why is that? I think. After getting dressed, I wonder around the residence looking for what I should do. I see Amy eating something colorful.
"Whatcha eating?" I ask.
"Fruit Loops idiot." Amy mutters as if it was obvious. "Why are you dressed like that, and acting like you don't know us?"
"Uh it's nothing." Not like I'm an imposter or anything.
"Really." Amy looks into my eyes. "How can I be sure you're truly Sophie."
"I-I am Sophie." I lie.
"Sureee." Amy points at a fluffy grey cat. "Whats his name?"
"What?" I demand.
"What. Is. His. Name?" Amy urges.
"Uuhm I-i-i-iggy?" I pray.
"Sophie would never forget Marty's name. Who are you?"
Chapter Three
"Sophie, I AM Sophie." I stir tensely.
"I know you're not, I'm not stupid!" Amy whisper-yells.
"Fine maybe I'm not." I susurrate.
"ALIEN!!!" Amy screeches.
"What no...I'm an elf..."
"Why don't you go back to Santa and leave my foolish sisters body!" Amy cries.
"I can't and I don't want to be here." I recount.
"Well please explan whats happening." Amy pleads.
"Well Sophie's an elf too." I pause
"But she looks so human." Amy gasps.
"We do look human." I sigh impatiently "But after a few million years our ears do get pointy."
"Wait are you immortal or something?" Amy questions.
"Well we can live forever, but we can also die." These questions start to irritate me. "We also all have blue eyes."
"But, wait what is your name?"
"Marella. No nicknames."
"Well Marella, Sophie has brown eyes." Amy points out.
"She was special, her genes were edited or something and that gave her brown eyes. And then planted in your mom's stomach." Can she stop asking questions!?!
"Wait, Sophie's not my sis?!? So I can hate her?!?!? YAY!!!" We share a laugh at that.
"Yep she isn't your sister." I pause. "She learned she was an elf, your minds were wiped and you became Natalie Freeman. She lived with the elves and made lots of perfect friends and had a perfect life." I try to hide how bitter I am.
"How are you in Sophie's body?" Amy ponderes.
"I'm not sure." I wisper.
"Well then how are you tied into this?" Amy challenges.
"We're friends." I mumble.
"Doesn't sound like it." I shrug "Marella I like you, come on I'll help you get ready for Sophie's school."
Chapter Four
After I get ready for Sophie's school, Amy helps me get on this big yellow thing she called a bus. Upon getting on it, she stands in an isle and looks at two girls.
"Ugh my mom is makeing me sit by Superfreak." The girls look at her sympathicky. I follow her and we sit down in an very uncomfterable seat. "So, whats our plan?" Amy asks.
"I don't have one." I wisper. "I'll be Sophie, try not to ruin her life and hope tomorrow I'll be myself!"
"Good plan. So you'll be going to a feald trip to a history museum all day. Just listen to the teacher ok?"
"Yeah thats fine." I respond.
"You'll get of on the stop after mine. Yes it's the one right after mine, your going to the high school, NOT the middle school." Amy empathises.
"Got it!" I say to Amy getting of the bus. I reach up to shake her hand. As I do I realise Sophie is an empath. I feal a rush of overwellming emotions. Does Sophie feel this way? But, but she's a telepath. I pull my hand away from Amy's quickly. "Wow." I breathe.
"Huh?"
"Sophie's a telepath, and me as Sophie is an empath!" I wisper.
"Maybe...I'll tell you later." Amy walks off leaving me all alone. I see still on the on the bus kids that look the same age as me. No one was acting friendly to me. Was Sophie's human life harder that I thought?
The next stop on the bus was at a building that had the words high school writen on it. This is were Amy told me to get off. I see other kids getting of, why are they all much older them me?
~
When we get to the "history" museum I laugh a lot. It's super funny, these humans don't even know anything about what they're talking about. Soon I spot a boy with dark brown hair, and teal eyes. Fitz.
Chapter Five
Fitz walked up to me. "Are you a telepath?"
"What? No?" I respond. "I'm a pyrokent-empath."
"Huh no your a telepath." Fitz says.
"No I'm an empath," I say sweating.
"Wait are you really Sophie." Fitz gazes at me "You were saying you were a pyro-Marella?" I nodded "How are you in Sophie's body, please tell me this is all a bad dream."
"I wish." I snicker.
"So are you back from the past to, in Sophie's body?"
"Yeah, she's just an empath."
"Ok this is so weird. When I first met Sophie we went to the lost cities. C'mon." Fitz motions me to follow him."
"Where are we?" I prompt.
"The lost cities don't you miss it?" He asks, don't worry I brought a dress of Biana's. She let Sophie keep it last time." Fitz takes out a dress from this blue backpack. "You can put it on at my residence."
Chapter Six
Once I get to back to Sophie's home Amy greets me outside "Mom is really mad, why were you gone?" Amy asks.
"Fitz-an elf-took Sophie to see the lost cities." I say, "Annnd he's from the future too."
"Really, well then make up an excuse, mom is very mad you ran away from school." Amy tells.
"What should I say?" I urge.
"Uhh.." Amy pauses. "Welp I got nothing, good luck on your own!"
"Seriously." I roll my eyes.
"What? C'mon lets go inside." Amy emphasizes.
We head inside and get a smile from Sophie's mom "Oh you girls are hanging out?"
"Yeah, bye." Amy pulls me into a messy room. It had a small twin size bed. Amy locks the door, "Marella, Sophie's an empath right?"
I grab her hand, felling a rush of emotions. "Yep." I comment.
"Didn't you say that Sophie was a telepath?" Amy proposes.
"Yeah, but she's not I guess. Why?"
"Well what if instead of going back in time you went to another world?"
"No, that-makes a lot of sense." I think for a few seconds, that would explain how I'm an empath. "Woah."
"Tomarrow, they have it planed, that I'll leave for the lost cities, and you'll have your minds wiped and you'll get new identities."
"Oh...C'mon I'll help you get packed." Amy walks toward Sophie Foster's room. I'll miss Amy, but hey what could I do about it?
~
Upon going to Sophie's school it's planed that I'll meet Fitz and leave right away. Now I'm here, waiting for Amy's bus.
"Hey Marella?" Amy turns to look at me.
"Yeah?" I wisper.
"You see, my friends, I wanna make my day really good with them, before I forget them, and they for get me..." She looks at me almost in tears "Can I please sit with them on the bus?"
"Of course!" The bus comes around the corner by the Foster's house.
"By the way, if it's possibal, I really like the name Eve." Amy requests.
"I'll see what I can do."
Amy gives me a big hug, "Bye Marella." She whispers, and gets on the bus.
Chapter Seven
"Is that my dress?" Biana asks.
"Yeah, I kinda needed it." I roll my eyes.
"I was just asking, but you can keep it it's...frumpy"
"Sure." I look around.
"Sophie, you were raised by humans huh?" Alvar requests.
"Yeah." I glance at Fitz who is glaring at Alvar.
"C'mon Marella, lets go talk in my room." Fitz walks away and I follow him.
"Ooh! Fitzzz are you in loooooove?" Biana calls, to witch Fitz ignores.
"UGH, I hate Alvar." Fitz falls onto his bed.
"Well, if you wanna go back to openly hateing Alvar, we need find away back." I start to pace "Amy did think this was another world, what do you say?"
"Well it'll explain why you're an empath, and why you're Sophie." Fitz agrees.
"Have you examined anything else thats contradictory?"
"No anything with you?"
"Nope." There was a pause.
"So lets say we're in a whole different universe, why would we be here, how could we have gotten here, and where is Sophie if you're her?" Fitz questions.
"I don't know, don't know, and no clue." I respond.
"What are you doing?" Biana says walking in.
"Nothing!" I say.
"Are you in looove?" Biana asks.
"No! Biana, go away!" Fitz rolles his teal eyes.
"Fine rude mutch, I heard what you were talking about though."
My heart stops. "Really?"
"Nope!" And with that she left.
Chapter Eight
"Biana really scared me there." Fitz laughs.
"Same though, I don't know what I'd do if she hear us!" I joke.
"No clue. Is it just us? From a different world?" Fitz wonders.
"I think so. Maybe theres someone else..." I prompt. "Well we should focus on how we get back."
"Yeah, but what could bring us here?"
Our eyes meet, "nothing." we wisper
"So can we get back?" I plead.
"No. Yes. Maybe. Just calm down Fitz." He starts to pase.
"So what do we do?" I look at Fitz, "I mean what is there to do really?"
"Just live a normal life here I guess..." Fitz's voice trails off.
"Ok, ok" I say. "Just try to be nicer to Alvar, you didn't know he was, er, evil yet."
"I guess, its just hard, after all he's done to us...I doubt he can ever be good again."
"I don't know, everyone can be can be good, just some people choose not to." I hear Alden call my name. "Sorry I gotta go."
