Hi guys! Well, this is my very first time here in Fanfiction, so yeah. I really hope I did a good job, and that at least one of you enjoyed ,my writing. Yeah. If you have any suggestions, corrections, or recommendations, or any comments, please do review.
So... This idea just popped up on my head suddenly, and I thought, why not put it here? Yeah, and I know there's a first time for everything, sooooo I decided to write it down here... I have a feeling I'm rambling now. I should stop.
BTW, last note, I have/ created some OC's for this story, and hopefully they're awesome... or at least decent for a story.
Okay, I'll leave you now. Enjoy the first chapter!
(TAKES PLACE IN NEW YORK, SET 15 YEARS AFTER BLACK SWAN HAS DEFEATED THE NEVERSEEN)

"And why are we here again?" Dex Dizznee asked, looking around the crowded place. Turned out the Council sent Sophie, Fitz, Dex, and Tam on a mission in one of the Forbidden Cities which will take on for a week. They sent them because Sophie and her gang are one of the most experienced in the Forbidden Cities, and most Emissaries were working on the huge project the Council is hiding from the elves until it was "ready to be praised". Sophie's gang were also often called to help ever since they helped the Council one time (with what we will never know), a year after they defeated the Neverseen. Since then the Council and Sophie's gang had been good friends... But they were still their rulers, and no friendship would erase that.

"I told you, there's a rogue creature on the loose. I forget what its name is, but I did some research, and I learned that its like a Vanisher, only it shows itself for only about five to eighteen seconds each two minutes." Sophie said. "They're very friendly, kind, and vegetarian, but if they're scared or shocked, they will most likely use their defense weapon, their sharp tail, against whatever, or whoever, its opponent is. And like I said on our way here, we start first thing tomorrow morning, if not today. But since I don't see or sense anything suspicious, even in the thoughts, let's get some rest and settle down first, shall we? And why not look around while we're here?"

"Yeah. Rest sounds good. But hang on, you have photographic memory, I really can't believe you would forget what the creature's name is, Sophie." Fitz said, eyeing the New York brochure in his hand.

"Well I'm sorry, I'm not that perfect!" Sophie replied sarcastically, smirking. Fitz smiled.

"Guys, stop flirting!" Dex said disgustingly, but then smiled. "If Keefe was here, we wouldn't hear the end of it. Speaking of which, it really sucks that Linh and Biana and Keefe can't be here, we rarely go to missions completelytogether these days, have you noticed?"

"Yeah! And Biana would be a big help, considering she's a skilled Vanisher, and last week we just started on working together in learning a cool trick where-" Tam said, but was interrupted by Fitz.

"Dude, its classic how you suddenly slip Biana into a topic and it slowly turns into a whole new speech all about her. Your crush for my sister is way too obvious sometimes, y'know?" Fitz interrupted coolly. Fitz and Dex grinned when Tam's shadow shrunk back.

"Guys, we're getting sidetracked. As much as we're bummed that the others aren't here with us, we still have to focus." Sophie said. "I recalled the name of the creature. Its the Halomied Artmutt. Very weird, pretty strange, really random name, in my opinion. But we can't think about that now, we still have clothes to buy! Let's try to buy clothes and food before noon, and we meet in our hotel. But first, we should check in our hotel." Sophie explained. She checked her watch. "Okay, its 9 in the morning, and we have about three hours to settle down. Let's go." Sophie motioned for them to follow as she led the way down an alley. They turned a corner and took off the obscurer, making them visible to the humans. They looked around again, making sure there weren't any people around, and returned to the main road, walking a few blocks until they reached their hotel.

"Room 366. You lot are lucky to have enough money to afford this." The receptionist said as she gave them the card to their suite. "For people who looks twenty, you're a tad bit younger than the people who can afford this. Tell me, what are your jobs?" The receptionist asked suspiciously.

"Uh, our dad, um, my dad, he's a businessman down in, I mean, way back in Los Angeles, and, his, his," Sophie stammered, pointing to Tam suddenly, "his dad, are friends with my dad. His dad is also a businessman/chef, and um, there's actually more story to, um, everything, like, yeah, we're friends so I, it's, my birthday..." Sophie glared at Tam. She was already a pro of transmitting to more than five people at the same time while focusing on whatever she's doing, but the hardest of all is when she's transmitting while using another ability, like in this case, Polyglot. Sophie was transmitting everything at once to her friends with the help of her Cognate (Fitz and Sophie were officially Cognates after they graduated Foxfire, and they have grown very skilled that they rarely use their Cognate rings anymore), and Tam just suggested she say Sophie and Fitz were a couple, and Dex is Tam's cousin.

The receptionist raised an eyebrow, so Sophie just smiled and laughed it off, Fitz smiling with her for extra effect. "Let me explain," Fitz started, while Sophie transmitted what he'll say in English. "Her dad is a businessman in L.A., and his dad decided to let her go with us, her friends, to go to her dream place, New York, since this week's her birthday. Right?" Fitz paused, then continued, "She's meeting her, uh, girlfriends later, and we'd hang out tomorrow by the mall, and yeah. This, ehem, Tommy, is his dad's friend's son, sooo yeah." Fitz finished, gesturing to Tam. They weren't giving any personal or true info to anyone, and they learned this

Sophie looked the receptionist in the eye. "Why do you want to know in the first place?" Sophie expected the receptionist to look away, or say 'none of your business' or 'sorry maam' or at least change the subject, but the receptionist shrugged. "No reason," she said.

"Well, I'll leave you to your room now. Thanks maam, good day sirs." The receptionist said and pointed to the elevator. "There's the elevator, if you wish to use the stairs, there's a passage behind the elevator leading to the staircase."

"Okay, thankyou." Sophie nodded and led her friends to the elevator and into their fine and cozy suite, where their bags were waiting.

"Until now, I still think its lovely that we get high quality everything here, and it barely costs us two lusters." Dex said, showing off his dimples.

"I mean, yeah, by the way-" Sophie was cut off by her imparter beeping. "Oh! Must be Mom and Dad."

Sophie didn't expect to see Keefe on the screen, and not with a creeped out expression on his face.

"Keefe, what-you look like you've just seen-"

"Sophie, no time! You'll never guess what happened. Come quick, he's in trouble!"

"Keefe, what? Who, why, who was it?"

"Sophie! Please, you have to come, its-"

"Keefe, you know I can't!

"No, Sophie, you should-"

"Keefe, what is going on? Have you-"

Sophie stopped cold. She saw something much, much worse than what she had expected. Because behind Keefe, collapsed on the floor, was unbeleivably, unmistakably-

"Dex?!"

So yeah! I really hope you guys enjoyed, hopefully this isn't too boring or pointless or boring or weird or boring or random.
