Fitz POV

I looked around startled by the sudden noise trying to place the voice I had heard. I had heard it somewhere before.
"What do you mean he's not coming back?" Biana asked, trying to keep her voice from trembling.
"He's not here. He's simply been captured. And I thought even the stupidest of elves caught on things easily."
"Show yourself," I let out, feeling like this was all some human movie or something.
"I am not to be seen, Mr. Vacker. Only to be heard. I am the essence of life but am never actually here. I will always be awaiting though one will never reach, for when you reach there, I'll be a step ahead."
"What the heck is that supposed to mean?" Dex shouted. "And where is Sophie? Where's Keefe?"
I ran over to where the sound came from, but when I got there, it just seemed as if the voiced moved farther away.
"Where are you? Where are you talking from?" I demanded. He must've been a vanisher. I looked at Biana and she must've understood, since next, she vanished as well. She was already on the other side of the voice as I walked towards it. I knew she was, because I could feel her thoughts radiating.
The I slowly started to make my way towards the voice, letting his voice guide me.
"Can you answer a question?"
"I'm pretty sure that's possible. I don't know much about you, though, son."
"Will you answer this question?"
I asked next, coming closer.
"Depends on the question."
"Well my question is what is your name?" I was now close to where the voice was. Yes.
"Names do not matter, yet they are of such use. Does it matter if one is called starfish or water bottle or even just the simple number four? No, but as long as they are called something they are able to respond."
I signaled silently to Biana as she became visible again.
"I got to you. You're cornered. Now tell me where my friends are." The voice now appeared behind me.
"Think again, Vackers."
"Oh and do you really mean just your friends? I know more that you think. Are you sure you don't feel something more? All three of you, struggling to forget your feelings. How cute..."
"Shut up," I said through gritted teeth.
"Don't tell me what to do,"the voice said in a teasing manner. I wanted to smack him so hard...
"Dex, you and your forbidden feelings. Shameful to love your own cousin, isn't it? You're afraid she would abandon you out of vile if she ever figures out..."
Dex just stared wide eyed, as if living a nightmare.
"Biana, you're heart is still broken from the boy you truly loved's confession... He loves your best friend not you. You're jealous of your friend, you want to strangle her. But that would only break the friendship you have. You've always felt alone, which is why you needed attention. But ever since she came, he never paid a second glance to you."
Biana looked horrified, red faced as she screamed, "not true," really loudly.
"And Fitz," he said, then paused to look at me. "You, you're love tragedy is all your fault. She loved you so much at a point, she only had eyes for you. You just didn't want to feel the same. You thought it was revolting in a way, you left her. Now you realize how special she is? Too late. Her sight has expanded now, to another handsome young man."
Everything I had been denying for so long, everything, I told myself was not true, he said it, causing a knife to go through my heart, and a pain I hadn't felt in a long time returned. I just stared at the ground as tears threatened to fall... Why?
But you know what? Four days, and she'll have to pick. If she's back. She will be back.
"Children, see it's not a good idea to mess with me. Now see you later, haha lol I'm funny. That was fun, you know?"
Fun? That was not fun.
Biana was still a bit stunned, and Dex went up to her, then he put a hand in her shoulder.
"The past is the past. Let's focus on the present now," he smiled. You know, Diznee wasn't so bad, after all. Maybe he was even good enough for my sister. Maybe.
"I wonder who he is," Biana said.
"Don't we all?"
"Come on, let's see if the councilors are doing something useful for once."
"Fitz," My sister started slowly. "Did that voice sound, umm, familiar? Like even a bit?"
"Yeah, it did. I heard it somewhere. Can't place where though..."
We found Oralie, and she asked, "have you found her yet?"
"No. Have you guys figured out where she is?"
Oralie looked down, and whispered, "the rest of the councilors believe that it's not important. The only ones that sided with me was Terik. Even Bronte thinks she just wondered off, and she'll come back eventually.
"Also something pretty big happened in the council two days ago. Emery is missing."
Biana muttered a happy 'yes' under her breath, making me smile. The most, might I say, annoying councilor of all... No that's Dame Alina. She literally tried to stop my parent wedding like what the heck who does that?
"How'd he go missing?" Dex asked.
"We're trying to figure out. There's no way we can trace him, and he's completely out of contact."
I decided to finally add on to the conversation. "It can't be a coincidence that both of them have gone missing right now."
I heard a gasp from behind.
"Guys?" Biana started looking at the small screen looking thing, her eyes wide, and her face ghostly pale. "I think you should look at this."

Okay, so that's the end of this chapter:) yeah I know you guys said no cliffhangers, but I love to write them ;p so I'll try to update often and I probably won't get to edit anytime soon. And still thanks a lot:):) actually I was going to make one really long chapter, and add a Sophie POV to this one, but I didn't so, sorry. Have a great summer, or at least if it's summer for you. If not, well have a great season. Wow that sounds weird.

EXTRA ADDITIONAL:

I just felt like writing a deep rant about apples so...

They have a thin layer around them, protecting themselves from getting bruised or harmed. Sometimes an apples is bruised on the inside and you can't really tell from the outside. Sometimes, there's a hole, and it's see able and sad. Sometimes it's rotten... Once it was a pretty normal Apple.. And no one picked it. They left it. To rot. Sometimes they're skin just peels off leaving them exposed and easy to hurt. That is the moment when the predator decides to bite. Sometime the thin layer protecting it isn't enough and it gets hurt anyways. If enough of it is taken away, you can break an apple. And once it is used (consumed) later it is thrown away. After its beauty and usefulness is striped, it is no longer at use. People only pick the prettiest Apple... The pretty apples are the popular ones and the ones with imperfections are the ones left. On their own.

So that is how I helped myself see apples in a different perspective😋

THATS ALL FOLKS!
