FITZ
I walk into the telepathy session expecting to work with Sophie but instead I find her almost dead. She's on the ground in a heap blood pouring out of her wrists. There's s note on the wall in front of me I ignore it. I race to Sophie's side.
"Come on Sophie wake up! Don't leave. You can't go." I mutter holding her wrists to stop the bleeding. Tigren, our mentor, comes into the room.
He takes the sight in and yells, "I'll get Elwin! Don't move!" He runs out of the room. I sigh heavily holding Sophie steady as I try to stop the bleeding.
"Sophie you're going to be okay. I promise, you'll be okay. I got you." I whisper a few tears dripping down my cheeks. If only I was here early I could have saved her. Or if I had followed her when she left lunch early I could have done something. Elwin comes running through the door followed closely behind by Tigren. Elwin collapses in front of Sophie. He stops the bleeding on her wrists and pours several elixirs down her throat.
"She lost a lot of blood and I don't see anything else wrong. Let's move her to the healing center and Fitz, better grab that note." He says picking Sophie up. Tigren helps with Elwin and Sophie's bags. I grab my bag and pick the note off the wall. We arrive at the healing center. Elwin puts Sophie in her bed and asks me to read the note. Sitting beside Sophie so I can be there for her I look at the note for the first time and my blood runs cold.
""We had a nice talk then she dropped. When she did we slit her wrist. When I say we I mean me, the boy who disappeared."" I finish the words sinking in.
"The boy who disappeared?" Elwin asks.
"Alvar." I whisper. My big brother stupidly joined the Neverseen and now I hate him. No one can hurt Sophie and get away with it.
"Edaline and Grady." I say looking at Tigren.
"I'll go get Alden and Della and they can help me tell Edaline and Grady. Elwin go get Dex, Keefe, and Biana. When the hour is up, Fitz make sure Sophie wakes up and takes this. She will wake up." Tigren says glancing at Elwin.
"If everything is okay then she will wake up when the hour is up, so in twenty minutes." Elwin says as they both disappear. I sit down beside Sophie. She's going to wake up. Nothing will be wrong. I reach for her hand, hoping that she'll be all right. The clock chimes the end of the hour. I watch Sophie, watching for her to wake up. I wait ten minutes my mind reeling but she still doesn't wake up. Picking up the note again I read the first line.
That's when it dawns on me.
