20 Years Later
1: Dex
"Grady?" Sophie called cautiously as she entered the house, for the house had shown no sign of life. Keefe and Biana had told her Dex, who ran off to join the Neverseen at the age 18, had taken Grady.
There was no reply. "Grady," Sophie called more desperately. "Really, Grady, this isn't funny." Sophie circled the whole house, and stopped at Jolie's old room. It had been transformed into a storage room, with not just Jolie's, but now Edaline's stuff. Marella had lost control over her fire, and before anyone could stop it, it began crawling up Edaline's body.
Sophie pushed the memory out of her brain, and closed the door. Sophie slid down the wall pathetically, sobbing into her hands. She could tell someone was standing over her, but she wasn't excited to know who it was. After a minute or two, she slowly looked up, only to find herself face to face with…
Dex.
Dex who had ruined her life, and made Marella set off the fire that had killed her mother.
Dex who had taken Fitz away from her.
Dex, who now had taken the last of her family away.
"WHY?" She screamed at him "WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?"
Dex clucked his tongue. "You don't know how everyone here treated me. They treated me like a piece of trash. Meanwhile, the Neverseen is under my control. Fintin's last order before he passed away." Dex shook his head disapprovingly. "You could've ran off with me, I did give you the choice.
"But you chose to stay here in this disgusting place, choosing friends over happiness."
"I am happy ..Dex," She snarled "You just care about 'avenging you mother'." Juline had died while supposed to be watched by Mr. Forkle, but Mr. Forkle got hit by a meddler.
"It wasn't Mr. Forkle's fault, he was doing his job! He got shot by a meddler, and there wasn't anything we could do to stop it from happening!
"NO! You could've done so much more; triple the security, gotten Linh to hide you guys underwater, so many more things you could've done!" Dex's eyes were brimmed with tears by now, for his mom's loss had been a tragedy, especially because she had just learned the key to defeating the Neverseen, but was badly injured, and unable to talk about it.
"Please, Dex, believe me…"
Dex just turned his back and said nothing, his whole body shaking from anger, and tears.
Chapter 2 will maybe come out, explaining more about what happened, and about Amy, about Fitz, and more.
