Chapter Forty Four
Sophie's mouth felt as dry as cardboard. She had to force breaths to come out of her throat. They had seen Keefe and they had just left him. Fitz looked guilty as he clasped Biana's hand tightly. They had been leaped away foxfire. The group stood together, bruised and ashen.
Sophie couldn't look at her friends. Friends who had betrayed Keefe and not even tried to save him. "How could you." Sophie muttered. She wasn't thinking of anyone in particular but she was angry and she was ready to use that anger. "Im sorry." Muttered Fitz. He reached his hand over to her but she pulled away standing up. Biana looked at her. Her eye's were hurt, that Sophie had't voted for her. Sophie brushed off Biana's hurt, reassuring herself that she would have tried to save Biana if she hadn't been chosen. But she couldn't save Keefe. He was probably suffering in the presence of Glimmer.
Glimmer. The girl that everyone had began warming up to who had been playing double agent all along. The Neverseen had too many tricks up their sleeves ad this time Sophie was going to take the element of surprise. Fitz leaped Biana home as soon as he could control his nerves and Maruca, Marella, and Jensi leaped away as well leaving Sophie, Linh, Tam, Dex, and Wylie. Before Linh and Tam could leap away Sophie stopped them.
"Wait. This isn't over yet." She said. "What do you mean?" Asked Wylie. "Were going back to Exile."
