What
Would Happen if the KOTLC Group split up and why?
Chapter
One chosing sides
“I
can't believe you just did that.”
Sophie
shouted at Fitz
“Yeah
totally not cool dude.” Keefe added
“I'm
so so so sorry.”
Fitz
said a hint of plea in his voice
“Sorry
doesn't fix any thing! Oh. I knew this was a big mistake, I should
have never shown you guys”
Sophie
was so close to hysterics that everyone looked uncomfortable Keefe
reached for her trying to help her but stops him self.
Bianna
looked down at the cracked spyball
“Um
Dex you can fix this right?”
Sophie
gingerly passed Dex the pieces, he stuck his finger in the bigger
cracks in the spyball and started mumbling things like
“Snapped
circuit board, split wires , and stupid Wonderboy.”
He
puled out two wires one gold and one red and twisted them together he
droped them back in to the spyball and said
“Show
me Keefe Seensen.”
the
ball turned crystal clear and a ghost of Keefe's face appeared and
the diapered in a flash of bright light a color that Sophie had
never seen before and he dispersed. Dex scowled at the spyball.
“Show
me Tam Song”
Dex
shouted
Keefe's
face appeared in the spy ball again a little hazier then it was
before. And Keefe looked murderous ever since Tam joined the
Neverseen well it was a touchy subject.
“What
the heck are we suppose to do about this!'
Sophie
yelled, More of a statement then a question
“I'm
sure I can get you a knew one, my Da...”
Fitz
stammered
“Fitz
I really don't care what your dad can do! This is an unregistered
spyballl If anybody else finds out I have one it might mean another
tribunal and seriously I have way to much on my plate to have to
worry about anything else!”
“Sophie
I swear I didn't mean to drop it! I am so sorry.”
“Fitz,
just leave you've done enough!”
Fitz
stomped out of Sophie's room the flower peatles that were woven into
her carpet seamed to wither. Lhin looked slightly guilty as she
opened her mouth
“Sophie
maybe we should give him a second chance it was an accident...”
“Fine
Lhin go join him!”
Sophie
said glaring at every one Lhin slowly walked away from the group but
she didn't look back.
“Anyone
else need to join her and Fitz?”
Sophie
barked No one looked up
Sophie
looked around her room only Keefe, Bianna, and Dex remained she
piked up the shattered remains of her spy ball of her bed Dex
seemed to have given up but then he smiled.
“Sophie
can you enhance me?”
Dex
said his dimples getting bigger
“It's
worth a try.”
Sophie
replied but she still looked hopeless.
She
slowly pulled her gloves off and slipped her hand into Dex's and to
no ones surprise he blushes Sophie on the other hand rolls her eyes,
seriously? After every thing they talked about?
Dex
screws his face up and starts sweating he yanks away from Sophie
“I
I I can't it's to much information .”
“Sophie?”
Bianna asked “I”
“Do
you want to join your brother? Fine go I think Dex and Keefe will
stay with me.”
“No
Sophie I'll stay here. I I I really think it was an accident though.”
Bianna
stammered.
Dex
cleared his throat “Sophie honestly I can't chose a side I'll just
wait here and try and fix the spyball.”
“Alright.”
Keefe said “I have one question too ask you before I pick sides. Do
you know it was an accident?”
“Yes.”
Sophie
mumbled
“Then
why are you mad?”
“That's
2 questions Keefe.”
“I
told you, you just keep getting snarkier and snarkier.”
“Because
honestly I don't know what to do! I don't know what I'm feeling, I
don't really know what happened. Except I'll never see my human
family again!”
Sophie
started sniffing. She really didn't know what she was feeling.
She
sank into the bed wishing it would swallow her whole. And wishing
even more so when Keefe sat right next to her.
“Sophie,
you feel upset and a little betrayed but not mad.”
“Stop
reading my emotions!”
“You
know I can't.”
“Stupid
Black Swan.”
“Ummm.
Sophie they gave you some of the coolest abilities ever!”
“Inflicting?
I would trade that ability in a heartbeat”
“Hey
guys,” “Dex said looking up “I promised I would watch the
triplets later so I'll take this with me.” He said gesturing to the
spyball “And I'll try and fix it later.”
“I've
got to go to” Bianna added as an afterthought
and
she dashed out of the room.
“Sophie.”
Keefe said “I'll help you.”
A
tear ran down her cheek.
“Hey
none of that, deep breathes Foster.”
Sophie
just noticed how close he had gotten. Then all of a sudden she was in
tears she tried to stop but she couldn't stop she leaned into Keefe
he hugged her and whispered in her ear.
“I
really hope Grady doesn't come in now. He'll strangle me .”
They
sat like that for a while, Sophie sat up and smiled.
“Thanks
Keefe.”
“Awww
snuggle time is over already? Eh my Dad will not be thrilled If I
miss snuggle time with him.” And with that he leaped away.
Chapter
2 Getting Awkward
Sophie
was happy to be back at Foxfire, she had only been a few times since
her accident and when they made 'Fitzphie' official she held off
telling Fitz that she was unmatchebeal but that seemed pretty silly
now it not like they were talking to each other any more. At lunch
she slunked over to seclude passing her usual lunch table witch
looked deserted except for a couple first years found a gloomy
looking corner and sat down. She started poking at the purple sludge
on her plate, gnomes made some of the best tasting vegetables but
right now even the butterblast looked like it wouldn't be very
appetizing right now... Wait they NEVER served butterblast's in the
prodigy cafeteria (It was reserved for the mentors only.) she looked
up and relised she was crying, She saw a blond boy sitting across
from her a concerned look on his face as she puled the hood of her
cape over her eyes and buried her arms in her elbows.
“What
do you want” Sophie mumble-sinnfled
“Foster
Foster Foster so oblivious to the world” Keefe said scooting closer
to Sophie and grabbing one of her hands “This is my usual lunch
table.... When I'm not in detention.”
Sophie
sighed she was in no mood for jokes but she didn't yank her hand away
as she replied “No it's not.”
“Yeah
it kinda is. Sophie, my usual lunch table is wherever you are.”
Sophie
stood up gave Keefe her most epic glare then turned and run away.
She
didn't know were she was going but he legs did and when the gave out
there were marble white halls of level six a white bench was in the
corner of the hallway Sophie sank onto it and closed her eyes. Then
she heard a familiar voice.
“ You're
lost”
“In
life maybe” Sophie replied
“Well
either your lost or ditching and your clearly not ditching.”
Sophie
looked up a half a smile on her lips and sighed.
“The
funny thing is is that it's only been what? 2 years. And it seems
like everything else has changed. And that scares me. What will
happen in another to years? Will I find out that I'm an ogre? Make a
bunch of friends so we can split up again?”
“Probably
not, your pretty cute Foster but I can't see you in an ogre uniform,
especially not the metal diaper.”
Sophie
rolled her eyes. “I'm serious Keefe!”
Keefe
crouched down to eye level with her taking both of her hands in his
“Sophie I'm always serious. Especially when you think I'm kidding,
and what I'm trying to say is it's not going to change that much
you'll always have me, no. matter. what.”
Keefe
stood up and sat down next to her. “And I want to say this before
the Vacker parade gets here.”
A
tall boy with red hair and white uniform passed through and gave them
a confused look Keefe mumbled “To late that's Tid Vacker that's umm
Bianna's cousin.”
When
Tid passed Keefe heaved an epic sigh and looked at Sophie and said
“Well this is not ever going too get any easier, but I guess I
better say it while your single but Sophie, I really like you.”
Sophie's
whole world felt upside down but she managed to ask:
“Me,
you like me? Are you sure your not talking to someone else over
there?”
“Foster
I've liked you from the first day we met you're pretty and brave and
you taught me how to sleep with a stuffed animal. And I don't think I
could ever be content with some boring girl who'd rather flirt than
attack weird guys with a bad sense of style, capes and cloks I ask
you?! And Sophie” his voice softening “There's a reason I haven't
picked up my match list yet.”
And
with the last confession Sophie's whole world fell apart she thought
about running away again but settled for hiding under her cloak hood
and praying that she would manifest as a vanisher. She counted to ten
in her head and when she tried to vanish and nothing happened she
leaned closer to Keefe and mumbled.
“I
went to the matchmakers this Saturday I was suppose to pick up
but...” Keefe cut her off
“Suppose to? to did you chicken out?”
“Suppose to? to did you chicken out?”
“No
Keefe I'm unmatchabel no Progress, Prosperity, Permanence, or
Proliferation, for me and now every one who ever ever liked me won't!
I'll be all by myself probably with 6+ cats and no one to talk to at
all ever!”
“I
still like you.” Keefe whispered “I don't care about any stupid
match 'suggestion' and if it brings my dad grief that's even
better.” He pulled her in closer and wrapped an arm around her
shoulder letting her rest her head on his shoulder “I'll always be
here for you Sophie, I'll always be there for you.'
Chapter
3: Getting SUPER awkward
“Sophie,
hey!” Sophie turned around and nearly hit Dex with her swinging bag
then he took a step closer and.. BAM right in his stomach! He doubled
over clutching his stomach crying out in pain and laughing at the
same time. Sophie ran over and helped Dex up
“Are
you O.K.? Oh my gosh I am soooooo sorry !”
Dex
held up his hand and nodded while Sophie waited for him to catch his
breath she picked up his book bag and grabbed her last books from her
locker and cramming them in her book bag when she was done she looked
expeactentley at Dex who apparently thought that whole ordeal was
hilarious laughing so hard that Sophie thought his dimples might
break and his face was bright red.
“Well.”
Dex said when he regained speech “I wanted to know if you would
like to see my progress on the spyball this afternoon. I thought
maybe we could meet up at Mallowmelt Shop later I'd offer my house
but the triplets have a friend coming over and well for lack of a
better term mini Keefe.”
Keefe
strolled into the room and Sophie's heart gave a small flutter when
he hooked his arm through his but she did give him her most epic
eye-roll when he told Dex
“Were
a package deal, I'm her new body guard to her new maultpesial army,
were still working out the uniform but were leaning tworards clashing
colors. ”
Sophie's
body guards glared but Flori looked bemused.
Dex
took it a lot better than Sophie expected he grinned and waved he
took his bag from Sophie and yelled over his shoulder
“Meet you at the leapmaster!
“Meet you at the leapmaster!
Sophie
Keefe and Dex met each other and leaped to Mallowmelt Shop together
it was smaller than Sophie had expected and didn't scream WEALTH AND
POWER It was a little bigger than your average Starbucks back at in
the human world and when they walked inside it was pleasantly warm
and smelled of chocolate cinnamon and a dozen kind of nuts like a
Christmas smell except a million times better!
Ro
snorted “Less sparkles I approve.”
The
floor was made of wood and had dozen of accent rugs and lost of
squishy arm chairs and love seats Keefe sat down on a love seat and
Dex grabbed a chair so well, Sophie sat next to him.
Dex
stood up and said
“I'll
be right back.” He disaperd out the door and appeared a second late
with Fitz, Lhin, Wylie and Bianna. Bianna looked slightly
uncomfortable but secretly Sophie was glad she chose to stay with her
brother. They all came and sat down around the same table = 100%
AKWARD. Sophie glared at no one in particular
Bianna
sat down on a cushioned stool between Dex and Fitz Fitz took the arm
chair as far away from Sophie as possible Lhin and Wylie took a love
seat as well next to Fitz. The tension in the room was so thick you
could cut it with a knife the barista kept shooting them concerned
looks and Sophie wondered if She was an empath.
Dex
cleared his throat and said
“Well,
I fixed the spyball.” He placed the black ball on the table and
Sophie reached for it, Dex placed his hand on top of it.
“No
Sophie. Not until we figure this out.”
Sophie
scowled but with drew her hand and leaned back and scotched towards
Keefe who rapped an arm around her Keefe shot Fitz a vindictive
smirk.
“Here
is the deal” Dex said making everyone look up “Tam is gone our
guard is down we need to make-up and move on otherwise were an easy
target. We need to get back on track other wise were a super easy
target!”
Fitz
sighed and glared a Foster-Keefe before he said
“I'm
in.”
Everyone
else nodded there agreement and a smile broke out on Sophie's face
“I'm
soooooo sorry guys!” Of Keefe's look she sighed and said “And
well I have some bad news I went to get my matchlist this Saturday
and apparently since they didn't have my parents names I'm
unmacahble.”
Fitz
shot her a look that said 'Why didn't you tell me'
“I
decided not to tell anyone because I wanted to enjoy a few more days
but, Well I'll see you all tomorrow"
Chapter 4 A Realization
Chapter 4 A Realization
She
stood up and turned to leave but when she got outside and held out
her home crystal when she felt a hand on her shoulder she turned
around and saw once again, Keefe.
“I'm
really sorry. Sophie whispered “I need to stop running away like
that.”
Keefe
smiled and Sophie's heart felt like it was teetering on edge Sophie
felt like her legs were made out of jelly Keefe stepped closer and
brushed a little hair out of her hair out of her face he
leaned
closer and kissed the top of her forehead it wasn't really any thing
he really didn't do anything but Sophie's whole world felt like it
was caving in she didn't know what to do and she felt like she might
fall over she leaned closer to Keefe and her heart race picked up she
felt tears sting her eyes and suddenly she had no control over her
emotions and what was worse she was hugging Keefe (That wasn't the
bad part the bad part was he could feel every emotion racing through
her. Fear, excitement, and a couple jolts of sadness and
embarrassment into the mix. They were catching several odd glances
and a 6 year old boy was miming vomiting into the street. She pulled
away and asked
“Keefe
do you umm.” Why did she have to be so bad at this? “Want to go
home with me for a bit?”
Keefe's
smile said it all
“Of
course Foster, of course.”
Back
in the pastures of Havenfeild Sophie and Keefe bolted for the cliffs
and when Sophie licked the DNA strip She and Keefe slowly walked down
to the cave and sat down on the rocks watching the waves ripple
slowly onto the sand occasionally soaking the toes of there boots.
Bo
and Ro were glaring daggers at each other and Flori was pressing her
hand against the rocks
Sandor
and Grizel walked a few yards away and sat down in nearly same
potion sitting close together on the rocks although Sandor had his
arm around aaaannnndd Grizel's head was on Sandor's shoulder Keefe
put his arm around her shoulder and Sophie looked up blushing and saw
Keefe carefully studding Sandor Sophie felt a giggle escape her
lips.
“Never
thought I would take dating tips from Giginator huh? Maybe you should
take a hint from Grizel.” Keefe said with a smirk that had Sophie's
stomach feel like a butterfly farm.
Sophie
smiled
“I
have a better idea.”
And
with that Sophie stood up pulling Keefe with her she stood on one of
the smaller boulders (Keefe was a lot taller than she was.)
And
she kissed him!
Chapter
5 Figuring Things Out
Sophie
and Keefe stayed in that possession for who knows how long Keefe
wrapped an arm around Sophie's waist and one of his hands moved a
little bit of her hair out of her face, Sophie somehow figured out
that her hands were hanging lamely by her sides she wrapped her arms
around Keefe's neck and it was far to soon before they broke apart
Sophie pulled her arms away but Keefe didn't Sophie was pretty sure
that she might have broken him but a large smile broke out over his
face .
“Wow.”
he whispered “Just, wow.” Keefe smirked and stood up on the rock
next to Sophie and looked down at her.
“Sorry
Foster, your always going to be shorter.”
Sophie
smiled and hugged Keefe when he let go again she sat down beside him.
“I'm
sorry Keefe, I don't know why I did that.” Sophie said not looking
up from her knees
“Its
OK.” Keefe said his voice softer “I've wanted to do that since
the day I've met you.”
“But
you hardly knew me!”
“Oh
is that so. You didn't think I'd let the Fitzter have all the fun now
would you? I snuk into Everglen, Technically Bianna let me in we were
going to play tackle bramble and we may or may not have eavesdropped
through the crack in Alden's door and we may or may not have heard
about having to leave your family and your choice to make them forget
you and not kill you off. And Sophie.” his voice getting softer
again “You made the best choice available. And...” he trailed of
when he looked at he looked down and saw her sitting on her knees
rocking back and forth he scooted across the sand so that they
knelling across from each other and he took of her gloves and held
his hands in hers after he sent a few cool breezes he stood up and
offed her his hand, she took it and they slowley walked back up to
the house.
