Hello people! I wrote a story about Sophie and Keefe! (I'm a Keefoster shipper). But of course, I plan on writing more about the other ships; Sodex, Sophitz, Tiana, Dinh (Okay, i have no idea what the actual Linh/Dex ship name is). So, please enjoy this one! BTW, the different chapters won't be one continuous story. They're all different.
Stina walked coolly over to Sophie's table. She slammed her hand down in front of Sophie, and with a smirk, turned to her.
"I hear you brought a human into the Lost Cities. You've reached an all-time low. We don't want you here, or your dirty human sister either."
This was the breaking point. Sophie was tired of it all. Mr. Forkel was gone; her human parents were taken. Stina had no right to treat her like this now, and she wasn't going to let her.
She stood up, and got right into her face. "HOW DARE YOU. Do you know how much I've been through? How much has happened since I came here? My parents, the family that raised me for 13 years, has been taken by the Neverseen. I have no idea where they are or what's happening to them. Are you suggesting that I should have left my sister to fend for herself? Honestly, I dare you Stina. I dare you to leave someone you love on their own, to be taken by the Neverseen. Could you do it? Could you abandon them? Why don't you stop spending every waking moment judging what I do? Judging what I do in my times of crisis."
Stina looked shocked. She tried to open her mouth, but nothing came out. Sophie could feel the tears stinging her eyes. She fled the cafeteria and randomly ran through the halls. She finally collapsed onto a bench in a deserted hallway, pulled her knees up, and put her head down.
She forced back her tears and tried to reel in her feelings. I can't let this break me. I can't let this break me. She rocked back and forth, trying to calm herself down.
"Foster?" Sophie looked up to see Keefe coming toward her, a concerned frown on his face.
She sniffed. "What are you doing here?"
He sat on the bench next to her and smirked. "You are in my ditching spot. Again. I should ask you the same thing."
She looked around. Familiar halls. Familiar bench. Drat. She was.
Sophie sucked in a breath. "I'm fine, Keefe. You should get back-" Keefe wrapped his arms around her in a hug, making her forget what she was about to say. Here, in Keefe's arms, she couldn't take it anymore. The tears came back, and this time she let it burst. She sobbed and sobbed, but Keefe held on.
"Shhhhh." He whispered. Sophie's eyes felt heavy, she hadn't slept in days. She heard Keefe whisper something else, but she was already going under.
Sophie was half conscience, just starting to come out of sleep.
"Hey Foster? Did you know you drool while you sleep?"
She jolted awake to find herself at the Foxfire's Healing Center, still in Keefe's arms, with Keefe himself grinning over her. Sure enough, there was a round wet spot on his shirt where her head had been moments before.
Elwin poked his head from around the corner of his office. "I can vouch for that."
"Aw, you just made her more embarrassed, Elwin!"
Sophie couldn't think straight. "I, uh, um, sorry. What are we doing here?"
"Well, I figured you didn't want anyone to catch you zonked out, snoring and drooling in the hall. So I brought you here."
She glared at him. "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"You obviously haven't slept in a while."
That was true. "But it was also an excuse to get out of class," she accused.
He shrugged. "Yeah, but I would've ditched anyway. Nothing can contain all this awesomeness."
Sophie rolled her eyes. Then she realized she was still in Keefe's lap. "Uh, so, I'm going to get back to class…"
"Nope, it just ended a little while ago. Your timing was perfect!" He made no move to get up.
"Um, so I guess I better go home. Edaline and Grady will be worried. And I've got to feed Iggy. And…"
Keefe put his hand over her mouth lightly and grinned his trouble-maker smile. "Shut up, Foster."
"Mm-k." she got out.
"Hey!" Elwin poked his head out again. "No funny business here! Move along Mr. Sencen! Miss. Foster!"
Sophie scrambled up. "Come on, Keefe."
"Fine, fine, I'm coming."
Sophie tried to hurry to the Leapmaster, but Keefe was right behind her.
"Hey! Where are you going so fast?"
She turned to him nervously and looked to the ground. "No one, uh, saw you carrying me, right?" She lifted her head and saw him smirk.
"No, I was careful. Sheesh. Besides, even if they had, they would have just thought you'd had another one of your little "near-death accidents." You have waaay to many of those for a normal person."
With a huff, she turned and started walking to the Leapmaster again. Keefe ran up to her, grabbed her arm, and called "Havenfield!" and they were whisked away.
