Beatrix jumped in front of the car, her hands outstretched as the boy froze in fear behind her. "I'm going to get myself killed, all for this reckless boy!" she thought, fear circling in her eyes, "But, I did the right thing, and that's what matters."

She half expected to look up and see clouds and rainbows and sparkling fountains floating above her in heaven after doing that good deed. Maybe some angels flying around her? Maybe the boy was right next to her, applauding and showering her in praise for her bravery?

Or perhaps she overreacted a little too much and was in the opposite of heaven, chains bolted firmly on her ankles and hands, leaving wounds tearing deep into her skin, as fire swallowed her whole.

But she hesitantly crept on eye open and saw that she was only in reality, if this was even reality.

The car was hovering above her, and in fright, she oscillated the car straight into a building, the driver still in the car.

Beatrix coiled around only to be awarded with the screams of injured students.

And it made her run, as everyone was staring at her. All she could do was run and run and run.

She didn't care where she was running. All she wanted to do was be alone and end this nightmare.

Instead she ran into Keefe.

How lovely.

His eyes were wide, suggesting that he saw the whole thing. He tilted his head, as if he was scared to speak. Then the two of them ran as fast as they could.

By sunset, they arrived at a luxury hotel and Keefe led her into the lobby.

She pulled the hood of her Fortnite sweatshirt over her head and stepped into the room.

As soon as she did the shimmering white walls almost blinded Bea. Not to mention the EXTREMELY slippery floor. Like, seriously!? What was the janitor USING??!?!

She examined the room and found some Yin and Yang posters on the corner of the registration desk. The widescreen TV was on and the news was showing her, big, bold, and in front of the whole U.S.

What a GREAT way to be famous.

Beatrix inched forward, trying not to draw attention as she listened to what they were all yapping about.

The police said that they were trying to figure out where the girl was now and to file a report if anyone saw her. After all, she was dangerous now.

Beatrix couldn't argue with what the police were saying though, she did kill a few people today.

She shook her head and placed a rough hand on her forehead as she leaned on the table to support her.

Then all the thoughts came rushing in.

She actually killed someone today.

An innocent person. Who didn't deserve to be killed. By her, nonetheless.

She took a few shaky breaths and then turned her attention to Keefe.

Keefe walked past the registration desk into the elevator and gestured to her to follow. Their room was on the sixteenth floor, which was also the highest floor in the entire hotel. The sixteenth floor was for the wealthy people. Those who paid expensive. Which meant that Keefe was a rich guy, but maybe he was using his elf powers to trick the people in the lobby?

Beatrix still didn't know too much about weird elf-y powers anyway.

The elevator halted to a stop and the two quickly took off through the pristine white halls. Keefe fumbled with the keys before finally opening the door.

He grabbed her hand and ushered her inside to the rosy chaise lounge.

"I've never done this--truth is I'm no Foster--but did you do that on purpose?" Keefe asked her, his eyes wide with fear and.... amazement? Nah, probably something else.

Beatrix looked at her hands before staring into his ice blue eyes, "So all elves have blue eyes, except Sophie? She has brown eyes?"

Keefe groaned and clutched his head as if he had a terrible headache.

"Don't read my mind please."

Beatrix nodded and as one would say, 'disconnected' from his brain.

Sort of like disconnecting from WiFi. She snorted internally and then focused on the present.

"So are you going to explain what elves are?" she asked, digging her nails into her palms nervously.

"Uh, keep in mind that I'm explaining this in a way that your huma--I mean, ELVEN brain can understand. Elves," he began, "are magical people with um powers that use them to um help their kind. But when Sophie came, an evil group called the Neverseen wanted to kidnap her and take over the world. Though technically, they already existed even before she was born, but uh they just... I dunno, like became more powerful, I guess? Anyway, I don't know what they want, but my mom's the leader and she twisted my genes to have all these freaky abilities. And I think your genes are twisted just like Sophie's and mine."

The last sentence came out as a whisper, but she heard it alright.

And it scared her right down to her bones, sending chills across her spine.

Just to think.... her parents, may not actually even BE her real parents.

"So my parents aren't really my parents?" Beatrix asked bluntly.

"No, I think they are your parents. But someone may have tampered with your genes, I've never seen..." he hesitated, "well that's something only someone as powerful as Sophie could have done."

"Huh. Strange. Also, your MOM'S the leader?? What kind of--"

Bea's rant was interrupted by a loud chime coming from the door.

The doorbell.

She quickly ran into the closet to hide, just in case it was the local authorities or the government. They wouldn't be able to see her, but she would still see them--and be able to hear their conversations.

And then the door swiveled open, revealing a tall man with blond hair and bright blue eyes, followed by two teenagers with bright teal eyes.

A/N: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ya like the ending? I'm sure that you have absolutely NO idea whatsoever who those three people are, huh? It's not obvious AT ALLLLL!
