Broken Chapter 1
"Lady Gisela?" Vespera asked, "What is this great plan you claim to have?"
"Oh, Vespera. You seem to underestimate my intelligence, but if you must know…" Lady GIsela paused letting her words sink in Before finishing, "We will break the Moonlark..."
Sophie was at getting ready for opening ceremonies in her Sabertooth Tiger costume. Which consist of a Fluffy orange suit, orange boots with claws at the end, a tale that was long and annoying, and a hood on the orange suit which was flat and stuck over Sophie's head about 2 to 3 inches,it also had two pointy white teeth coming out of it. She was by far the most embarrassed 15 almost 16 year old girl ever! Well… her and every other level 5 in her school.
Edaline was helping her get ready. "Sophie, Ithink we should do something with your hair." she said waving her hand over Sophie's hair which was long enough to stick out and flow over her shoulders. It was unstyled and knotted.
"Fine..." Sophie said knowing how her adopted mother loved helping Sophie out with fashion and looks.
Edaline motioned for Sophie to follow her. They walked to Edaline and Grady's bedroom where Edaline then entered her bathroom opening a long cabinet on the wall which was full of beauty elixirs of all shapes, sizes, and colors. As Edaline examined them looking for the right ones she said, "Sophie, will you grab that bag by the sink?"
"Sure." Sophie responded picking up the grey bag which had the Ruewen crest on it. It must've been her makeup bag.
"Got it!" Edaline squealed grabbing a hot pink elixir in a what looked like 6 inch tall and narrow glass bottle, and also a round glass bottle about 3 to 4 inches tall with a flat bottom it was half way filled with a lavender liquid.
The girls headed back to Sophie's room with all the things they had collected. Sophie sat on her canopy style bed while Edaline laid the elixirs and the bag next to her she also headed over to Sophie's desk and dragged her chair over to where Sophie sat.
"Drink a gulp of this," Edaline said holding up the hot pink elixir, "for curls" She screwed off the cap and gave it to Sophie.
Sophie did as she was told and almost immediately felt her hair spring into beautiful curls.
Edaline reached out and adjusted her hair a couple times side glancing and making more adjustments until, "Perfect!" She said happily snapping her fingers causing a mirror to fall into them. She handed sophie the mirror and sophie gasped seeing her hair in blonde curls falling on either side of her face perfectly making her funky outfit actually look surprisingly less crazy.
Then Edaline went back to work grabbing the violet elixir. "This time just take a sip" she said handing it to Sophie.
Sophie took it from her and unscrewed the lid taking a tiny sip. What she wasn't expecting to feel was her eyelashes grow very slightly. Sophie picked up the mirror and notice now she had all her eyelashes, after pulling out half of them in stress.
"Do you want makeup? Or is this good." Edaline asked.
"I think this is good." Sophie responded. "Thank You though" she said gratefully.
"Anytime, sweetie." Edaline told her kissing her forehead, then picking up all her stuff, and walking out to put it away.
After Edaline left Sophie got up and grabbed her imparter from her desk drawer putting her lips close to it saying, "Biana."
Not long after Biana appeared on the screen wearing the same outfit but she had mascara making her teal eyes bold and her hair was straightened. "Hi!" she said happily "I like your hair today Sophie, good job!"
"Thanks!" said Sophie "You know how I have two left feet and all-"
"You want me to remind you the opening ceremonies dance for the saber tooth tigers?"Biana guessed cutting Sophie off.
"Yes Please!" Sophie pleaded, as Biana rolled her eyes and let out a small laugh, "Your the best!" Sophie exclaimed.
After Biana hung up after twenty minutes of rehearsing Sophie heard Sandor say, "Keefes here." from the shadows.
"Thanks Sandor!" Sophie said exiting her room to go see him.
As she climbed up the hill where Calla's Panakes tree is, and also where Keefe usually waited she saw him in a big furry white suit with furry long boots and two furry ears on his furry hood. Sophie couldn't help but to laugh.
"Hi to you too." Keefe said glaring
Sophie rolled her eyes. "Why are you here?" She asked walking up to him.
"I'm obviously here to talk to you" He said taking a step closer.
She looked down noticing what he did "oookay.." she said.
He took another step closer closing the distance before whispering, "I like you Foster."
Sophie felt her cheeks burning as she said, "Keefe, I don't feel that way about you."
Keefe must've wanted to test that theory because he leaned forward and kissed her She kissed him back for a second before pulling away.
"I'm sorry Keefe, I can't." she said walking back to her house and feeling so much pain leaving him like that, but she couldn't let her heart commit to anything quite yet. When she reached her house and closed the door she looked through the window and saw him leap away.
After the Opening Ceremony dance Sophie met up with her friends. Lihn and Tam were also Yetis like Fitz and Keefe. Dex, Biana, Sophie, Marela, Fitz, Keefe, Tam, and Linh were all laughing and talking during the ceremonies and during it all Keefe wouldn't look her in the eyes.
Guilt ran through Sophie. She never meant to hurt him. She does like him. But she doesn't want to make a commitment at such a young age even though she will be getting her Match packet soon.
At the end of the day Sophie, exhausted, sank into her big bed. But then she picked up her imparter noticing Fitz was calling. Sophie answered her heart filling with butterflies as Fitz appeared on the screen. But then all the butterflies left as Sophie noticed Fitz was standing with a girl, as Sophie watched in horror they kissed. As soon as their lips met she hung up. And as her eyes welled up with tears Keefe called and her broken heart completely shattered as he told her, "Sophie, I am moving on. Sorry." He then hung up.
Something in her died that day. She didn't even cry. She was too broken.
