Keeper of the Lost Cities: Cache (Book 7)

by SilverstormandNyx32

(Spoilers for entire series) Set after Nightfall. One day, the Neverseen appear and change everything. Sophie is faced with an offer that will change everything. When she accepts, everything changes. Meanwhile, a dangerous plot is brewing. One that could destroy all hope and secure the Neverseen a position to rule the world.

1. Chapter 1

One afternoon, Sophie was leaning against the Panakes tree, petting Iggy, when a flash struck her eyes five familiar black-cloaked Neverseen appeared in front of her. Sophie shrieked and grabbed a leaping crystal from her pocket. But it flew out of her hand and into the palm of the nearest Neverseen member.

"You won't need this. We aren't even here to capture you, surprisingly. Actually, we're here to tell you something," the figure with Sophie's crystal said smugly. Sophie recognized the voice instantly. It was Keefe's mom, Lady Gisela. Sophie glared.

"Leave Keefe alone!" Sophie shouted. Sandor chose that moment to leap from the Panake's branches. But a force field shot into the sky, and Sandor slammed into it, knocking himself out.

"Sandor!" Sophie yelled. The goblin moved faintly. Sophie saw him struggling to move, and her vision became blurred.

The Neverseen member who created the force field laughed. It was Ruy, Sophie was sure of it. The force field dissolved, and Sophie instantly began to release her anger. But Lady Gisela just gave a quick order and they all ripped their hoods back. Sophie paused. Ruy, Vespera, Someone, Lady Gisela and... no... it can't be...

Sophie dropped to her knees. Everything blurred again. The group of Neverseen in front of her laughed. All except for one figure. At the front, next to a laughing Lady Gisela, was a blank-eyed but unscathed Councillor Kenric.

"We'll cut you a deal. We want the caches, both of them. Then you can have your precocious Councillor back." Lady Gisela said. "If you don't accept, you'll never see him again." The Neverseen and Kenric all leapt away. Sophie ran over to Sandor, helping him up before running into the glittering crystal mansion.

Okay. I know this is short, but trust me, if I made every chapter super long, I would get super slow. I'll try and update as much as possible. The various chapters will be different lengths. Also, I read Nightfall, but I can't remember exactly what happened, so I'm going to reread it soon. If I make an error, please kindly inform me. Thanks,
