Hi again! I decided that I owed you all a few more chapters. So here's an update! Enjoy!

Sophie and Keefe tumbled into the healing center. Breathing heavily. 

"Keefe," Sophie whispered, her face filled with shock and confusion.

"Foster," Keefe whispered back. His face looked the exact same way but it was mixed with a bit of guilt.

"I- I- We- lost it," Sophie mumbled.

"I'm sorry, Sophie. It was all my fault. I should've held on to the flower tighter," Keefe muttered, looking anywhere but Sophie.

"Keefe," Sophie said, gently. "It's not your fault, okay?"

"No, it's my fault." Keefe frowned, shaking his head.

Sophie glared, "It's not! Keefe, listen to me. If it wasn't for you I would've never found the flower. You were the one who helped me so many times. Please, Keefe. Listen to me, if you want to help me, then don't feel guilty."

"Fine, Foster," Keefe said, quietly.

"Good," Sophie nodded.

Keefe and Sophie both looked at each other and then at Ruy. It looked like he was already dead but Sophie had to have hope in her brother. He had to survive!

Suddenly, they both heard voices coming closer. "I always knew there was something shady and off about him," Sophie recognized that voice. Tam.

"But-" Biana started but when she noticed Sophie and Keefe she stopped. "You guys are back!" she exclaimed.

"Did you find the flower?" Linh asked. Sophie looked at Keefe.

"We were looking for the flower and Keefe found it but then when we were teleporting back someone grabbed the flower right out of Keefe's hand." Sophie told them, Keefe grabbed her arm in reassurance. Sophie wanted to be angry at that person who took the flower but all she felt was sadness. Her brother was going to die.

Tam, Linh, Dex, Biana, Elwin and Livvy all looked at each other with worry. "What's wrong?" Keefe asked.

"We know who took the flower from you," Tam told Keefe.

Sophie and Keefe gasped, "Who?"

"Mr. Forkle," Livvy said. "He's in the Neverseen and you two proved us right."

"Neverseen?" Keefe stood there without moving. Sophie couldn't believe it. No way would Mr. Forkle be in the Neverseen. He was the one who created her, why would he join the Neverseen? The longer Sophie thought the more sense it made. All of the time when he made them stop and go slow it was all because he was with the Neverseen. When everyone thought he was hiding something, it was the fact that he was in the Neverseen.

The word Neverseen repeated itself in Sophie's brain. They were the people who hurt her, and hurt others she cared about! Anger flooded into Sophie's brain as she slammed her fist into the wall. She repeated the action again and again until Keefe grabbed her and steadied her.

"Sophie, please. You're scaring me." Keefe told her. He looked so worried that Sophie had to stop.

"How did you find out about it?" Sophie asked, she said the word, it with a hurl of anger.

"We tried to hail Mr. Forkle but it kept saying hail unavailable. We tried again and again until Dex found out that there was someone listening to us. Dex somehow managed to turn it around and we could hear three people talking instead of them hearing us." Biana started. She looked at Dex with admiration.

Linh continued, "After that, we heard them talk and they were talking about you and Keefe. Livvy recognized one of them as Mr. Forkle and the others were part of the Neverseen. Well, that's what we think."

Sophie stood there in silence, her face was red with anger. Who did he think he was? Did he actually create her? Was Oralie her real mother? Who was her biological father? Several thoughts came rushing towards her as she felt her mind fade off.

                                                                                          . . .

When Sophie woke up, she saw that she was in one of the healing center's cots. "Why am I here? How long was I here?" she asked, getting up. She felt her head throb in pain.

"Sit still," Elwin commanded, flashing an orb at her. He frowned, "You'll have to be here for the rest of the day."

"How long was I here?" Sophie asked again, ignoring what Elwin said before.

"An hour," Elwin replied. "If you think about getting out of here it's a very bad choice."

"Are you part of the Neverseen too?" Sophie asked, standing up straight. The anger had returned. 

"Sophie, of course not. I'm just trying to help keep you safe. Your friends have taken care of things." Elwin told her.

Sophie shrugged. "I feel just fine," She lied.

"No," Elwin said, frowning. He flashed another orb.

"Well, I'm going whether or not you like it," Sophie snapped. Elwin huffed.

"Sophie!" Elwin protested.

"Please, just stop!" Sophie yelled.

"Whoa, whoa! Calm down Sophie!" Biana exclaimed, walking out from the storage room with Livvy.

"She's not listening to me." Elwin said sadly.

"Why should I?" Sophie asked coldly.

"Soph, please! We're all trying to help you," Biana walked over to Sophie and placed an arm around her. "Keefe, Dex, and Linh have gone to find Mr. Forkle."

"I don't care, I need the flower to save Ruy!" Sophie yelled, shaking out of Biana's grasp.

"Sophie!" Biana said, gently. "We'll go, Ruy still has a few hours. Everyone wants to help but we need you to be safe too."

"I'm fine," Sophie glared.

Biana sighed, "I guess that's it then!" The sad look on Biana's face made Sophie stop yelling and think.

"I'm sorry, Biana," Sophie whispered, once she realized what she'd said and done.

"I know you are," Biana smiled sadly.

Sophie glanced at Elwin, "I'm sorry."

"We know. Next time learn to control your anger," Elwin told her.

Sophie nodded, ashamed of herself.

"Biana!" a voice screamed.

"Tam, what happened?" Biana asked, once Tam was in sight. Keefe, Linh and Dex were following him.

"Sophie, you're all good now right?" Linh asked her.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine!" Sophie told Linh before Biana could even open her mouth to speak. Linh nodded as Biana sighed loudly.

"We met up with the collective and lied to them by saying that-" Tam started but Sophie interrupted.

"You lied to them?"

Tam ignored her. "As I was saying, we lied to the collective by saying that we needed to go to Mr. Forkle's house immediately to save Ruy. The collective went somewhere and got us his extra leaping crystal. We lied to them because we didn't know if any of them were part of the Neverseen!" Tam said the last part looking at Sophie.

"Oh," Sophie nodded, not noticing Tam looking at her. "Where's the leaping crystal?"

"Right there," Dex pointed to Keefe's hand.

"Let's go!" Biana exclaimed.

"Mr. Forkle won't even be expecting us!" Sophie grinned evilly.

They all linked hands, Elwin and Livvy joined in and they glittered off to wherever the crystal would take them.

                                                                                      . . .

Sophie looked up. There was a small dark house which looked more human than elvin. 

"This is where he lives?" Biana asked.

"I guess," Tam shrugged.

"I've been here before but I didn't know it was his house!" Livvy exclaimed.

They all walked slowly up to the front door. Sophie made a telepathic link between them.

"Let me do the talking." Sophie told them telepathically. They all nodded as Keefe slowly knocked on the door. Though everyone looked like they wanted to kill Mr. Forkle.

The door opened, revealing a tired Mr. Forkle. "Hi Ame-" he started. He stopped once he saw the group.

"Oh hey!" Sophie greeted, acting happy. Sophie knew exactly what he was about to say. Hi Amelia. The third group member had to be Amelia then. She made a mental note to tell the group later.

"Why are you guys here?" the tired Mr. Forkle narrowed his eyes.

"We need to save Ruy and you are the only one who knows places with flowers." Sophie told him. Biana and Linh nodded along knowing exactly what Sophie was about to do.

"Oh," Mr. Forkle smiled, trying to act surprised about the flower. He pulled out a piece of paper and wrote something. "Here's the location."

Sophie grabbed the piece of paper. "When I next start talking, you guys go grab Mr. Forkle." Sophie told them through the link.

"Thank you Mr. Forkle!" Sophie fake smiled. "So, I heard you were in the Neverseen, huh. Her friends already had Mr. Forkle captive.

"Ah, perfect. Thank you guys!" Sophie exclaimed cheerfully.

"Wh-What?" Mr. Forkle gaped at them. "How do you know?"

"Oh, we know!" Keefe snapped.

"No! Please don't take me to the councillors." Mr. Forkle screamed. He kicked and flailed.

"Stop!" Sophie snapped. "Where did you put the flower?"

"What flower?" Mr. Forkle asked, acting confused.

"Caelia flower!" Sophie snapped again.

"I- I'm not telling you," Mr. Forkle kicked and kicked but his body was already too weak to escape.

"Fine, Let me ask again!" Sophie growled. "Where. Did. You. Put. The. Caelia. Flower?"

"I won't ever tell you," Mr. Forkle stated. Sophie kicked him hard in the legs.

"Tell me," Sophie roared, kicking Mr. Forkle even harder in the ribs.

"It's- It's- in- my- my pocket," he wheezed, coughing.

Sophie reached into his pocket and found the flower. She put it in her pocket safely. She folded her arms. "Let's sedate him and take him to a place where he can't escape."

Elwin pulled out a black sedative. "This will knock him out for a month."

"No, we can't do that. We'll need to get information out of him." Sophie told Elwin. Mr. Forkle tried to speak but ended up coughing blood.

"This will work," Livvy said, pulling out a purple sedative. "It will only last for a few days."

"Perfect," Sophie smiled. 

As they left Sophie saw a small shadowed figured. Amelia.  

                                                                                     . . .

Mix the Caelia flower with a bottle of youth and feed it to the elf. Once you feed it to the elf, they will wake by an hour. If the elf doesn't wake up, the flower you have is not the right one.

Sophie slammed shut the book. "Let's save Ruy now!"

Elwin and Livvy prepared the mixture while Sophie and Keefe sat next to each other on the cot next to Ruy's. Their silence was comfortable.

Sophie grabbed the prepared mixture and opened Ru's mouth. Keefe tipped the mixture in.

"Where am I?" a voice asked. Ruy.

"RUY!" Sophie shouted. She wrapped Ruy in a big hug.

"Ow," Ruy cried.

"Sorry," Sophie muttered. "I missed you."

"Oh sure you did," Ruy grinned weakly at her.

"You almost died, you know," Sophie told him.

"Like you didn't die so many times," Ruy teased. Biana snorted. Even Tam had to smile.

"Nice to see the brother, sister bonding but Ruy's got to sleep now," Elwin grinned. "I'm glad to see you're awake and that you are on the right side!"

"So am I!" Ruy whispered as Elwin fed him a small bottle. He smiled one last time before he fell into deep sleep. 

Ahhhhhhh. Ruy's finally awake!!! I'm soooooooo happy!!!!! I bet you are too! ;)
