"DEX!" Sophie said, as she was trying to breathe through the thick smoke.
She kept shouting and yelling as tears started streaming down her cheeks. She was losing hope. Sophie kept thinking to herself, He's alive-He's alive-He's-alive… She wasn't going to let guilt break her and her mind. She kept thinking about Dex's face until Fitz ran into her.

"Ow, w-wait Sophie?" He said, with his voice all raspy from the smoke in the fire. Sophie managed to look at his face and his beautiful blue teal eyes. He asks, "Sophie, are you okay? Your eyes are bursting with tears!" She whispers back, "D-Dex…" She looks behind him and she froze like a statue. Fitz it's surprised in shock as they both see Dex lying on the ground burning to death.

She screams as high as she can, then finds herself in her room lying in her bed. Grady, Edaline, and Sandor rushes inside with a shocked face.

Edaline says, "Sophie you're so pale and white, what happened?!"

Sophie whispers, "I-It was a dream. No, a nightmare."

Grady said, "You almost scared us to death! We thought you were hurt, o-or WORSE!"

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you guys it was just a really…devastating nightmare." Sophie said.

Edaline asked, "Slumberry tea?"

"No sedatives, I'm not over it."

"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked.

"No, sorry just thinking about gives me a bad feeling."

Grady then tells, "Well, get some sleep then because tomorrows school."

Sophie almost forgot about that. Sophie says, "I love you Mom, Dad."

"We love you too Sophie." Her parents said.

She gets out of her bed and takes a long soapy shower. She dresses up in her Level Five Foxfire uniform and heads downstairs. There at the table were two plates of mallowmelt and a cup of umber tea. She devoured the mallowmelts in a few minutes and wrapped it all up with some umber tea. It tasted warm and sweet like caramel and whipped cream mixed together with hot chocolate.

"I'm going to school!" Sophie said, followed up by a reply of, "Okay dear, goodbye!" from Edaline.

As Sophie was walking toward the door, Grady stopped her and gave her a Ruewen crest.

"Woops, forgot the most important thing!"

She put it on and gave Grady the hardest hug she could ever give to Grady. She left outside and saw Dex, relived that he was as happy as ever.

"Let's go, shall we?" He said, flashing his bright dimples. Sophie steps into the Leapmaster 500 and says , "Yeah, Foxfire!"
