Fitz'POV

I was doing it again. I was looking for a long lost elf. Sophie triggered another memory, and my Dad sent me to try to get close to the girl. Sophie had wanted to be the one to search for the girl, but my dad would have no part of her coming. So, I was the next best thing. I was in West Chester, Pennsylvania, according to Sophie. I was looking for a girl about my age, around 16. She looked kind of like Sophie, but had navy blue eyes. Her name was Ti, from what Sophie told us. I searched around for her, looking for anything unusual. I spotted a flash of hot pink, and I saw the girl run by. I took off after her, channelling core energy to run faster. She ran unnaturally fast, and hopped into the trees around us, leaping from branch to branch like a squirrel. I kept going on the ground, keeping an eye on her. She looked over her shoulder at me, and went forward with another burst of energy. She stopped in a cherry tree with a lot of branches and stared down at me. Her navy blue eyes were wary, curious, and superior all at the same time. I called up to her. "Finally got tired?"

She laughed. The sharp sound rang out in the quiet area. "Hardly. Just thought I'd give you a break."

"So, are you gonna climb down, or do I have to come up and get you?"

"You can try to get me, but you'll never get the chance. If I was you, I'd give up and go home now. Why are you chasing me?"

I paused, wondering how I would phrase this. "My dad sent me. I'm on a special mission."

The girls eyes darkened. "Who are you? Don't lie, i'll know."

I was confused. But, I answered as best I could. "I'm... a friend."

She narrowed her eyes. "I don't have any friends. Who are you really? You're not from that stupid boarding school, are you?"

I was confused. "Boarding school? No, what's that? My name is Fitz."

Her eyes became slits, then widened in realization. "You're an elf!" Her lip curled, and she practically spat her next sentence. "You're from the Black Swan, aren't you? Where's my sister? What did you do to Sophie? Tell me!"

I gasped. "Sophie? I know her! She's a friend of mine. She's perfectly safe, and she's with my dad right now. You can see her, if you come with me."

She was quiet for a while, then spoke slowly. "Do you have your Imparter? Can I talk to her?"

I nodded, and gave her my Imparter. She called Sophie, and talked to her for a minute. When she gave me the Imparter back, she had tears rolling down her face. "They erased me from her. She didn't recognize me at all."

I was confused, but I didn't dare asking her about it. She looked at me, then turned and ran off through the trees, too fast for me to keep up with.
