Hello everyone! I' would just like to say thank you for clicking this story and hopefully reading it!

I do not own any of these characters, though I wish I did!

This first "chapter" is more of an alternate ending and the rest is more of an alternate next book, so enjoy!

(p.s I ship Keefster, but we ALL ship different things, right?)

Keefe turned to Sophie, tears streaming down his cheeks."I won't" he whispered in a barely audible voice. Sophie's heart screamed as he dropped the pendant which was to brand her, white scars covering his hands. Hot tears blurred her vision as fury boiled inside her.

"This will cost you ." Brant said in his raspy voice. Sophie turned to Keefe,

"Please. I don't want them to hurt you." Sophie whispered as Brant smirked with such evil, it was hard not to look at him. Brant grabbed Sophie's arm with his good hand, Fintan a close stand by. Searing pain wretched through Sophie's harm as she belted out cries of agony. Keefe screamed in agony, as if it was more painful for him being there as it was for the burns to Sophie's skin. Keefe pulled out a goblin throwing star and without thinking whipped it at Brants arm, flawless aim. Brant ripped his hand off Sophie's arm, grunting in pain as he pulled out the star and dropped it to the ground, letting the thick blood streak down his arms. Fintan grabbed Keefe, holding him still as he reached back from Sophie's necklace, which had caused a beam of light for her to leap home.

"Go Sophie" he said as Brant stalked toward him "I'll be fine." He showed a sad smirk and clenched his teeth as Fintan slightly burned him. Sophie turned and took 3 steps closer to the beam of light but turned back and listened to the last thing Fintan had said to Keede.

"This will slightly change things, , and you will be punished, but you are far too important to let go to waste." Sophie choked out a sob as Keefe screamed from being burned again. Sophie wanted to help, but she knew she should wait, as the black swan would not want her to risk her life like that.

"I will come for you Keefe," Sophie managed "And I will always, no matter what happens, be there for you." She felt new streams of tears go down her face as Keefe said the last words as she stepped into the light,

"I will always be there for you Foster. I love you the way you are" The last sentence was barely audible and Sophie was not completely sure she heard him correctly, but she held glimmers of hope that was what he said.
