*Hi Guys! this is my first fanfic and I, unlike other people who have even written multiple fanfics, will always try my best to use proper grammar and spelling so that you don't have trouble reading! Anyways, this is a fanfic about Soren and Gylfie from the Guardians of Ga'Hoole. Enjoy!*

All of the band thought that Gylfie was acting strange lately. Ever since Soren had come back with Pelli she had been silent. What they didn't know is that Gylfie had a secret. Gylfie had fallen in love with soren the very first moment they had met.

Gylfie would never forget that day, not only because it was full of terror, but because of how Soren had been the only person there who had made her feel safe. Ever since, Gylfie couldn't stop thinking of him, but couldn't work up the courage to say anything. She was scared of rejection and of their friendship never being the same. She was also scared of how the other owls would look at him and her together.

Ever since Soren had brought back Pelli, he had been spending all of his time with her. Gylfie felt crushed because she thought she had no chance to win him over against another barn owl. Gylfie had fallen into a depression since then, and since Soren was always paying attention to Pelli, he never noticed.

As Gylfie sat in the library, pretending to read a book she had picked out at random, Ezylryb noticed that she was reading a book about Colliering upside-down. He knew that something was wrong, so he went over to talk to her.

"have you're eyes gone upside-down or is something troubling you?" Ezylryb asked

"What? oh, ummm... it-it's nothing important." Gylfie said, startled

"Yeah, and I'm your aunt Wilma. Look, I know something's going on and you're getting distracted by it. You can tell me."

"fine, but you can't tell anyone."

"I promise."

"Ok, so... you know the owl that Soren brought back from that fire?"

"Pellimore?"

"yeah. well, Soren has been spending all of his time with her and I haven't been able to see him at all for a while and..."

"Let me guess, you don't just was to be friends with him?" Ezylryb asked with a knowing look

"yes" Gylfie said in a whisper as she burst into tears

Ezylryb wrapped his wing around her. "I think I can help you with that"

"how?" Gylfie said, her tears subsiding.

"Maybe i could send you two out on a special mission... one where you two can be alone and you run a low risk of anything bad happening to you..."

"really? you would do that for me?"

"I can't stand to see someone like you being so distracted and upset about this."

*This is the end of the first chapter. Sorry if it was short. I will be making more chapters to this, so just wait and leave me any constructive criticisms you have. have a nice day!*
