Chapter 8
I know I said I would update sooner but I was kinda busy. Thanks for everyone who is reading this, and I can't believe I got 1k views. I never expected to get over 100 or something. And thanks A LOT to all of you commenting, starring, and viewing this, and you all have made my day more than once. I have a bit of writers block, but I'll try to update a bit more often.
Again, could you guys comment which way you want this story to go? And just thanks.
Keefe POV
Foster... Where are you, I thought my head spinning with all the possibilities, and the worst possibility arriving.
She understood me the way no one else did, the connection I had with them... She never saw me as someone else but who I was. I think they took her. I always knew they were never gone, I knew they weren't all dead, but no one would listen to me. Now they took her.
Was my mother one of them? No. She was dead. The thought brought tears into my eyes, she was the one who was always there for me, she was supposed to care. She was supposed to be the one I went to with everything.
Fitz never had that problem, it was all Happy Little Vacker Land, and I envied him more than he realized. Life was easy for him. Even Foster seemed to like him...
An image of a cave flashed through my mind and I knew Sophie was there. Don't ask me how, I just knew. Thoughts were racing through my mind, as I tried to focus on the picture trying to recognize anything that could let me know where she was.
Silveny. I needed Glitter Butt. I ran over to where she was being kept, and saw her and her colt.
"Silveny, fly?"
Her eyes twinkled with excitement and I let her out, then climbed on her back. It seemed so long ago, when I flew with Sophie on Silveny. I almost kissed her, but I had to stop myself, she couldn't possibly... Or could she? Fitz and her were cognates, they were supposed to be together, all I would do was throw it off.
I cleared my mind, and I said, "hey Glitter Butt, can you take us to that cave we went to a long time ago? Remember that? Are first really long fly."
The last time I flew to this cave, I wasn't alone. I had Foster. Why couldn't I just get over her? Why? Because she's the only one who would accept me for who I am.
Just then I got another transmission, right when we were about to land. Fitz.
Keefe, I know where Sophie is. Meet me in an hour this isn't what you think. She's not where you think. Everglen okay?
What did he mean it's not what I think? I decided that I would just go and look for her in the cave just to be safe.
"Sophie," I let out in a slow whisper. I heard a noise, sounding like a small whimper so I continued. "Foster, it's me."
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the famous Mr. Sencen."

Biana POV
Where could she be? Did she teleport somewhere? Can they be back? What's going on?
Biana! I heard my brother's voice. Are you safe? Please tell me you are.
What? Why wouldn't I be?
BIANA? Please answer me, please? Oh, right. You can't transmit. Meet me at home in an hour. I know what happened.
Why was my brother so frantic? What had happened that has made him so scared?
I decided to go see if Dex found any clues. I heard a small rustle and I walked towards it but then tripped... Right into Dex's arms.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Fitz told me to see if you're safe, a while ago, so I've been trying to find you. Guess you were the one that found me."
I blushed, remember the touch of his arms around me for that brief while.
"What do you think Fitz means," he asked in a hush voice.
"I don't know, but it's scaring me. Do you think we should just go to Everglen right now?"
"He might not be there just yet."
"Wait... There's one place we need to check before that."
"What?"
I took his hand instead of replying and I pulled him towards Havenfield. Underneath there was a cave... And fresh footprints leading out.
Dex must have had the same thought as me, because he let out a "No..."
As I gasped.
They're back.
We both decided to follow the footsteps, and then we came all the way to the grass, where they disappear. Oh.
"Well there goes our only clue," I let out in a frustrated sigh. Dex put a hand on my shoulder slightly calming me down.
"Come on. Let's go see what Wonderboy is all flustered about."
He sounded so much like Keefe at the moment, but also with a, umm, what's the word? Sweeter tone. I thought back to our kiss, how my lips tingled after, how I was light headed and probably blushing like crazy, and how... How he brings out a new me.
I looked into his eyes again, the way I did right before I kissed him, and found that his were laid on my lips. He quickly glanced away as I swallowed down disappointment.
It's too soon, I reminded myself. There's no way to know if he's just being polite, so I shouldn't do it. But you wouldn't believe me if I told you, how much I wanted to.
We arrived at Everglen, as I saw Fitz pacing. He always paces when he's scared or worried.
He saw us and ran a hand through his hair, as we walked to the gate. The gate opened, as I looked around and asked, "where's Keefe?"
"He's not here yet. But Tam and Linh are."
"Oh you're girlfriend?" I asked, as Dex snickered.
Fitz gave me a death glare, and Linh blushed deeply. Aww, she likes my brother too. SHIP!! Hmm... Finh? Litz? Filinh? Fitzinh? I started to giggle at the thought of those as I got odd stares from the rest of them.
"So what was the whole emergency?"
"Well," he started out slowly, with a strained voice. "Good news is I found out who kidnapped Sophie..."
"And the bad news?"
"Oh, but I don't know where she is or anything."
"But what's the bad news?" I repeated.
"It's the Black Swan. The Black Swan kidnapped Sophie."
Sorry for the major plot twist. I couldn't think of anything, and I kinda lied that one chapter. The scroll part won't be in a few chapters... Sorry. But I promise you'll get all your drama and romance as well as action. So thanks for still reading, this is way more than I ever imagined. You all are amazing!! So I've indicated some ships, but don't be certain that there going to happen... I have somethings planned if this all goes according to plan :p so thanks again!! And I'm really sorry I took so long to update, I've been really busy lately. I might not be able to update soon this time either, though. I hope you like my story so far!! I didn't expect to go over 5 chapters, so thanks for inspiring me, each and everyone of you.
