Chapter 18
Keara's (Roxy) POV :
Keara dragged her feet towards Lady Gisela's office.
She stops outside the door and raises her hand to knock but is stopped by a voice "Roxy, you can go right in".
Keara turned around to face Lady Gisela "Where were you?" She asked and turned around to open the door and walked in.
"I had to meet with a few people" Lady Gisela answered while walking over to her desk and settling down into her chair.
Keara wasn't scared of Lady Gisela, and after hearing what her brother had to go through she wasn't going to keep her mouth shut. "Why did you call me?" She asked.
"Are you in a rush to go somewhere?" Lady Gisela asked raising an eyebrow at Keara.
"No, I just don't like being in a room with psychopaths, it gives me weird feelings " Keara replied bluntly.
Lady Gisela gave a thin smile " I see you be been spending time with Tam Song?" she said, ignoring Keara's insult.
"I have!"
"And why is that?"
"I want to make friends" Keara answered with a shrug.
"And you told him your real name...and showed him how you look?" Lady Gisela questioned.
"Yes, why do you have a problem with that?" She asked.
"Yes, you are putting yourself in danger by spending too much time with him" Lady Gisela answered.
"Well guess what?" Keara said suddenly.
"What?" Lady Gisela asked immediately.
"Tam is like the brother I never had, and you should know that because of how similar he and Keefe my twin are" Keara spat out.
Lady Gisela's face went through a range of different emotions before she finally got words out " What do you mean?" She asked.
"Mom please don't pretend with me," Keara said, her voice pleading.
"Roxy... I seriously don't know what you are talking about" Lady Gisela answered.
"Ok..." Keara took a deep breath " You can pretend, but I know you my mother and if you actually ever really cared about me you would just own up to it. But you don't care about me or Keefe so, please just leave me alone" she said then turned around and flounced off.
Sophie's pov :
Sophie cried into her pillow. She couldn't believe it. Keefe...one of her best friends... She couldn't bear to think about it.
"Sophie please come out?" She heard Linh's soft voice outside her door, calm and reassuring.
"Mmph" Sophie replied her face still buried in the pillow.
Sophie heard the door creak open and felt her bed dip as someone settled down next to her. And then someone else came and sat on the other side of Sophie.
"It's all going to be ok" she heard Marella say.
Sophie shot up quickly and looked at Linh and Marella " Will it really be ok?" She asked narrowing her eyes at them.
"We know you sad right now, but that doesn't mean that you can get angry at us for something we didn't do" Linh pointed out gently.
Breathing heavily Sophie flopped back down " You right...I'm sorry" she apologised.
"It's okay" Marella answered reassuringly.
"Maybe you should go and see, Keefe" Linh suggested after a while of comforting silence.
Sophie got up " Okay let me just go wash my face" she answered and walked over to the bathroom adjacent to her bedroom.
Opening the tap Sophie splashed the cold water onto her face letting it numb her slightly.
Coming out from the bathroom she saw that Marella and Linh had made her bed neat and left the room.
Sophie walked out of her room and next door to where Keefe's bedroom was.
She was about to raise her hand to knock but then realised that there was no point. So she just put her hand on the doorknob and twisted it slowly.
Peaking into the room Sophie almost broke down into tears again.
There tucked under the covers of the bed lay Keefe. His body limp and motionless and had it not been from the rise and fall of his chest Sophie would have thought he was dead.
Sitting down on top of the covers next to him. Sophie placed her hands on his temple and dove into his mind.
But as soon as she went on she came out and stumbled backwards.
His mind was like no mind she had ever been in. No shattered memories...actually there were no memories at all.
The only thing there was were swirling inky black suffocating darkness.
As Sophie looked at Keefe tears streamed down her cheeks. She had no idea what was wrong with him. And there was no way she would be able to help him.
