I'm SUPER excited about this new story. It's going to get really complicated, so be prepared to have cliffhangers, super long chapters, and probably super short chapters too. Ok. I'm done now. Happy reading!

Sophie groaned and hid behind her hair when Biana brought up Fitz and Sophie's relationship statuses. "Why are we talking about this exactly? Just because we are old enough to get our Matchmaker Scrolls doesn't mean we need to now."

"Yes it does." Biana said and Sophie just started going out to see Verdi.

"I agree with Sophie on this one." Dex and Keefe were there, too

"That's only because you like her." Keefe added to the conversation and only made it worse for her.

"I do not!"

"Then prove it. Kiss Biana."

"WHAT?!" Now it was Biana's turn to blush but she was more confused at this point

"That's right. Too prove you don't have a crush on Foster, you have to kiss Biana.

"Sophie? Do you have a camera on you iPod?" Fitz wanted to know. He obviously wanted to video his sister's embarrassment.

"Even if I do you are not videoing it if Dex kisses Biana. I can't believe those words came out of my mouth." She did a shiver-cringe combo in response

"Biana has to be ok with it though." Fitz said, for once being a helpful brother.

"Wait." Biana paused dramatically. "What just happened?"

"And Biana agrees, so pucker up." Keefe was ignoring the fact that she hadn't decided yet.

"You guys are gross, and even if I am 15, that doesn't mean I have to accept that." Sophie motioned to Dex and Biana. "And I thought we were talking about me and Fitz, not Biana and Dex." She added, saving her friends. When she realized she had just set herself she blushed and gave Verdi a good scratch under her ear.

"I'm going to go make some mallowme-" Sophie had almost escaped when Fitz grabbed her arm

"Not so fast. We're still talking about this." Fitz said, being extremely annoying.

"No thank you." She replied and walked away, to the kitchen

"Ooh! Rejected!" Dex and Keefe said, unified.

"Oh, shut up!" Fitz retorted and went to sit under Calla's shady tree.

Biana took a second to decide between going to her brother or her best friend. "I'm going to go help Sophie. Don't follow." With that, she walked away(more like strutted).

"Hey Sophie. You ok?" Biana asked when she came into the kitchen to find Sophie mixing a bowl like Fintan and Brant were taking every thing she loved away. (Which kind of happened)

"Just fine, Biana."

"You sure?" She pressed "I know how annoyi-"

"I said I'm fine, Biana." Something came over Sophie and she... she... inflicted on Biana. Half of her anger came out before she realized what she was doing and stopped.

"S-S-Sophie?" Biana gave her a very betrayed look, and ran outside while pulling out her home crystal. She was gone in a flash.

"What did I just do?" Sophie whispered to herself.

MEANWHILE...

Biana ran into her bedroom, the boys chasing her for answers. "Biana, are you ok?" Fitz asked

"No." that was all that Biana could get to come out of her mouth before the tears came flooding out.

"Whats wrong Biana?" Her brother asked.

"S-s-she... in-in-inflicted... o-on... m-m-m-me." Biana stutter-whispered back.

"No." Keefe said with a look on his face like he knew something they didn't.. He fumbled for his pathfinder and glittered away without even saying goodbye.

Dex sat there, dumbfounded, like his best friend had just killed his pet or something.

Fitz's reaction was most disturbing however. His eyes had sort of glazed over, and he seemed to go into a trance. He ran to his room, seeming to question everything he had ever known, looking at the charm Sophie had gotten him on her first mid-term here. All of a sudden, Biana heard a THUD from Fitz's room and got up, sniffling.

"Fitz?" She started to run when there was no reply. "Fitz!" Biana found him lying on the ground. No matter what she did he just payed there, in a deep sleep, deathly still. He wasnt... dead, was he? "NOOOOOO!" Her scream was piercing, like one someone would hear in a horror movie.

He seemed to be... broken.

BACK TO SOPHIE...

What had she just done? Sophie ran out to a nearby cliff, and jumped. Never had she ever been this ready to go somewhere else, not in the levin world, yet yearning to go apologize, and make it up to her best friend. How could she have done something like this? What came over her?

It was as if something had taken control of her and forced her to do something... with her knowing consent. How could she let this happen? Well, she didn't exactly do it with knowing consent, but... she guessed that it counted.

ok. Sophie needed a plan. She couldn't go back. To Everglen or Havenfield. But she needed supplies. Sophie pictured her room in Havenfield and landed on her bed.

Sophie found her purple backpack that she had left so many different homes with and stuffed Ella and some clothes in there. Food. She needed food. How much? How long would she be away?

Ok. Did she have everything she needed?

Pillow? Check

Blankets? Check

Food supplies? Check

Ella? Check

Books? Check

Anything else?

The scrap books.

Sophie had made scrapbooks with her friends with pictures of the times they had together.

Everything was ready.

But where to go?

. . .

. . .

. . .

Of course! The caves Mr. Forkle had taken Fitz, Keefe, and herself for Cognate training!

Sophie jumped off of the cliff and teleported to the caves... to find a hooded man with a dagger standing over a seemingly dead lion, like he was performing surgery on a dead animal. It smelled like dead fish and skunk spray.

The man turned around and Sophie saw his face. It looked like Fintan, but with a longer nose and blue-gray eyes.

"Who are you and why are you here?" He said in a low voice that could have belonged to the Hulk.

"I could ask the same for you." She replied, deciding to be brave.

"My name is Fedallah, and I live here. Now it's your turn." He answered gruffly

"I'm Sophie and I'm running away because I hurt my best friend." She said. "And I don't know what else I would do if I lost control again." She mumbled the last, but Fedallah heard, though he didn't say a word.

"Well, Sophie, this section is my 'office'." He made air quotes "I took care of the animals in the Sanctuary, and took care of hurt ones. This lion may look dead, but he isn't. I had to knock him out because he ate a whole corn cob, and lions can't digest that. I made a closed area over there out of mushrooms. I can make you one if you'd like. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to save this lion's life." With that Fedallah went back to his work. He was about to cut the lion open when he added "This might look a tad bit gross to you, so would you please go out to the entrance?"

"Oh, of course." Sophie said, not wanting to watch in the first place, but not wanting to be impolite and leave without a word. She walked to the entrance, waiting for the word that it was ok to come back in. Sophie sat on a mushroom, thinking about Mr. Forkle.

Why did he have to leave her without answers, but forever this time?

Why did he have to leave her at all?

How would she get those answers?

Would she ever return to the elvin world?

Sophie had asked herself those questions hundreds of times, but never figured out the answer, unless it was an illegal one. She was finally on the council's good side, and she didn't want to ruin it.

But this probably ruined it, didn't it?

"Alright, it's ok to come back in now. Pick your spot and I'll start setting it up." Fedallah had finished surgery.

"Thank you. If you don't mind me asking, why are you doing this? Why are you helping me?" Sophie asked.

"I do mind you asking, but I guess I will say. This is a long story. My story. Long ago, parents had twins. Brothers. One of them was me. We two looked exactly alike, except I have blond hair, my mother's eyes, and a long nose. My twin had brown hair, our father's eyes, and a shorter nose then mine. Our parents thought he would grow up to be higher ranked, since he came out first. They hid me until I was eleven, then dropped me off in the middle of a Forbidden City. That city was Houston, Texas. My brother was torn, he wanted to grow up to be great, but he also loved me. He decided to go out into the human world and find me. The day before he planned to leave, he developed his ability. It was rare, but dangerous talent." Who was this twin? "My brother... was Fintan.

Dun dun dun! That's pretty obvious if you just use foreshadowing but I don't care! I could have made it Kenric instead! Anyways, I love you all (even though that's probably weird, I don't care! I love anyone and everyone!) until next time...
