So here's chapter two! Okay btw this story will not be following exactly what Shannon wrote the whole time, it's just starting off so you will see more differences later on. Hope you like it and please tell me what you think so far!

Fitz let out a long frustrated sigh and picked up his feet to follow after Sophie. Sophie raced out the door and he was soon behind her in the ash-filled air of outside. He was surprised at how fast she could run, but he knew he could beat her with more age, skill, and muscle. They were heading down the side walk towards an intersection.

"Sophie, come back!" He called after her. She picked up her pace and Fitz was forced to run faster.

"Wait!" He shouted with urgency. "You don't have to be afraid!" He was needing to catch his breath. The polluted air made it harder for him to breathe.

Fitz continued running as Sophie turned onto the crosswalk. He ran past a few cars parked on the side of the street. As he rushed behind the cars he heard the screech of car breaks and the loud thud of metal against metal. When he had passed the cars he saw Sophie. She was using her mind to keep a streetlight from falling on her. A car had hit the poll and it was going to fall on her but she had stopped it with an invisible force. He rushed over to her.

"Put it down," Fitz said sternly. He must have surprised her because she shrieked and the streetlight began to fall again. "Watch out!" He yelled as he pulled her from beneath the falling poll and they both fell to the ground. He heard the lantern shatter onto the pavement sending shards of glittering glass around them.

Sophie had landed on top of Fitz. He starred at her with wide eyes. They stayed that way for a moment and he realized her eyes were beautiful. The blue eyes of the elves had become mundane. Her blond hair made them seem so bright and alive.

He replayed what had just happened in his mind. "We need to get away from here." He said as he tilted his head in the direction of the car driver who had missed hitting Sophie by mere inches. The man's eyes were wide at what he had just witnessed.

She nodded as she sat up.

Sophie lead the way. Fitz thought about what he was going to tell her as they ran. How much she should know about the elven world right now? He couldn't help but feel guilty. He knew she needed answers, but he wasn't even supposed to talk to her at all. He knew Alden would not like what he had to tell him when he got home.

They slowed to a walk as they came to a zoo parking lot. Sophie looked relieved when she saw people around. He had just saved her life. Couldn't she see he was here to help? Not kidnap her! He turned away and rolled his eyes at how dramatic she was being.

They both stopped to catch their breath. Sophie finally asked "So what do you want?"

"I'm her to help you," He said becoming serious. "I promise."

She raised an eyebrow at this and tugged at her eyelashes. She seemed very skeptical, like she still thought this was all part of a big joke. Yet Fitz still saw the nervousness in her eyes.

"Why were you looking for me?" She asked.

He ran his hand through his dark hair as he thought. "I'm not sure if I'm supposed to tell you."

Sophie huffed. "How am I supposed to trust you if you won't even answer my questions?"

Fitz thought for a moment and decided the best thing to do would be to tell her the truth. What else could he do? He couldn't leave her with the information she already had. She would call the police, surly, and he did not want to get in a mess with the human police.

He sighed "Okay, fine – but I don't know much. My father sent me to find you. We've been looking for a specific girl your age, and I was supposed to observe and report back to him, like always. I wasn't supposed to talk to you. I just couldn't figure you out." he said. "You don't make sense."

"What does that mean?" She asked. Fitz thought what he just said probably sounded offending. He tried to think of what he could say to make it better.

"It means you're . . . different from what I expected. Your eyes really threw me off." He said and quickly wished he hadn't. That must have sounded even more offending.

Her hands went up beside them. "What's wrong with my eyes?"

Yep, totally offending, he decided.

"We all have blue eyes." He tried to explain. "So when I saw them, I figured we had the wrong girl again. But we didn't." He smiled. "You're really one of us." He breathed. Fitz still couldn't believe he actually found the girl.

Sophie held up her hands before he could say more.

"Whoa. Hang on." She insisted. "What do you mean 'one of us'?"

Fitz pulled her over to the far end of the lot and slipped behind a car. He looked around the corner of the vehicle before explaining.

"Okay – there's no easy way of explaining this, so I'm just going to say it." He told her. He closed his eyes and let out breath then looked back at her. "We aren't human, Sophie."

Fitz tried to continue to explain what he meant but nothing he said would convince her. She had proven she could use both telepathy and telekinesis yet still thought she was a normal human. He was getting a little frustrated with this girl practically accusing him of being crazy.

"Sophie, you're an elf." He finally told her after delaying what obviously she needed to be told.

She raised her eyebrow again. "An elf," She echoed. She smiled and let out a giggle.

"You don't believe me." He concluded.

"Do you really expect me to?" She asked still smiling from what he had told her.

Fitz hadn't thought that he would have to convince her that she was an elf. But now that he really considered the problem it made sense.

"I guess not." He confessed. How was he supposed to do this. He wasn't even supposed to be having this conversation with her.

A thought came to him. The wheels turned it his head as he thought through the consequences of his idea. It was defiantly going to get him in huge trouble, but it was all he could come up with. Plus he knew it would totally impress this know-it-all Sophie.

"Would it help if I showed you?" He asked hoping he could convince her.

"Oh, sure - this ought to be good." She said sarcastically.

She folded her arms and leaned onto one hip in the classic "Yeah, right" pose.

Fitz pulled his blue pathfinder out from his leg pocket. He held the thin intricate object before her.

"Is that your magic wand?" She asked.

Again with the sarcastic comments. He rolled his eyes.

"Actually, it's a pathfinder." He turned it in his hand and the blue crystal at the top shimmered in the sunshine.

He told her that she had to hold his hand and concentrate on the connection between them.

"Do you want proof or not?" He asked when she hesitated.

She thought for a moment and Fitz gave her time to consider. He knew this would change her life forever. Sophie had lived with humans her whole life. It was all she knew. The transition she was going to go through would defiantly be difficult, and she didn't even know what was coming. Finally she reached her hand out to his and her delicate fingers interlocked with his. He peeked around the car again and found no one near.

"Okay, we're alone. We go one three." He told her.

"What happens on three?" She asked nervously.

He turned his head and glared at her. She glared back. Fitz held back a smile and tried to focus. He held the pathfinder to the sunlight and began to count down.

"One," He said and took a deep breath.

"Two," He gripped Sophie's hand tighter. In that moment, the last moment she would believe she was human, the last moment she would doubt she was an elf, the last moment she was the lost elf hidden among humans, Fitz made a silent promise. A promise that no matter where they were, or what situation they were in, and no matter how dramatic she was being, he would be there for her. Even if he was the only one, Fitz would always be Sophie Foster's friend.

"Three." He closed his eyes and they were whisked away into the sunlight.
