Lady Austria swiftly walked down the colorful gleaming corridors.

"What are we going to do with you, Sencen?" She asked with disdain.

"I don't know! Maybe feed me mallowmelt all day, build me a throne, and call me your highness for the rest of eternity?" I said with a smile.

"How you're still able to joke around when times are dark and desperate is beyond my knowledge," She mumbled. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Then out of nowhere I let out a small wail as I leaned against a wall for support. Another sword was stabbing my brain. Lady Austria turned around at the sudden noise and pulled out her imparter, calling Elwin.

I felt the floor come closer, with a sudden bang my head hit the cold tile. Then a blanket of darkness wrapped itself around me.

~~~

"Ah, Mr. Sencen is finally awake!" Lady Austria smiled, "And that's why you don't leave Elwin's care when your mind is breaking!"

"Nice to see you to Marilyn!" I grumbled as I sat up.

"Well, you sure know how to freak someone out! I thought you lost all conscious! But no, you just lost a memory," Elwin simply stated.

"Oh," I said dumbfounded. Apparently loosing a memory isn't that bad when your mind is breaking.

Then a familiar figure bursts through the door. His brown hair was a mess, and teal blue eyes were brimmed with tears.

"Hey, miss me?" I asked teasingly.

"You are the biggest idiot ever!" He laughed through tears.

"Man, I knew I was beautiful, but I didn't know it made guys so awed that they'd burst into tears!" I joked as Fitz hugged me.

"Why do you do it?" He asked, finally getting a hold of himself.

"Do what?" I ask, although I know what he's talking about.

"You know, why put it all on yourself?" Fitz asks.

"Well, maybe if I weren't such an idiot I could prevent things from happening if I did something different? I don't know, Fitz, I really don't know," I whispered. Tears were threatening to spill when I realized that this is hindering the councils mission to find Sophie.

"Keefe, none of it was your fault!" Fitz shouted.

"To late now!" I laughed, trying to lighten up the mood.

"Why are you laughing?" Fitz asks in disgust.

"Because I'm ok with it!" I laughed again.

"Where the mallowmelt is Sophie? She's so selfish! She should be here fixing your brain!" Fitz said exasperated.

My demeanor darkened. But then I realized that maybe Vackerland isn't as peaceful as it used to be.

"Fitz, would you get it over with and tell me what's wrong?" I asked calmly.

He seemed shocked by the accusation, "Nothing's wrong!" He snapped.

"Uh huh, says the guy who's currently angry at Sophie all over again. Dude, you haven't been yourself since the day I came back, what's up?" I asked, staring intently at Fitz.

"Dude, I'm fine!" He said, holding up his hands in surrender.

"Dude, I'm dying! The least you could do is tell me what's wrong!" I said.

"No you're not! Sophie can fix you!" Fitz retorted running a hand through his hair.

"Ok, I need to tell you two things right now, and I haven't told anyone else, it's very important information," I whispered seriously.

"Ok, tell me," Fitz whispers just as seriously.

"A, your hair is a wreck, and B, Biana kissed Tam!" I said loudly, and started cracking up. Fitz rolled his eyes as he tried to fix his hair, apparently B hasn't sunk in yet.

Five seconds went by when Fitz spoke again, "Wait, did you say Biana kissed Tam?" He asked, I nodded, "BIANA!" He yelled stalking out of the room.

Alden who was talking to Elwin, noticed Fitz change in mood and my laughter, and swiftly moved to my side.

"Keefe, what did you do?" Alden asked lightly.

"You know, if every time someone said that I got a coin, I'd be richer then the council!" I said, cracking up again. I shrugged before telling Alden what I told Fitz, "I just told Fitz that Biana kissed Tam, that's all."

"BIANA!" Alden yelled stalking out the door Fitz just went out of, sending me into another round of laughter.

I was laughing crazy hard right now. Like, full blown hysterics. Then my laughter turned into screams, pain raced up my sides all around my body. Pain I've never experienced before. It felt like someone was carving out my insides.

I closed my mouth in order to muffle the screams, they should be focusing on Foster not me.

Elwin ran to my side, flashing orbs around my whole body, saying one word over and over again, his face was a ghostly white.

"What's happening to me," I whispered through the pain.

"Someone's killing you," Elwin whispered. I looked around the room, no one was there.

"Who?" I whispered again, panic flooding my body like a tsunami.

"I don't know, but they're killing you from the inside out!" Elwin said as the room swirled around me and everything faded red.
