Ch 4

The Deepest Blue

Hello my fabulous readers! So I have been a terrible person and not updated forever because of testing in my school. So as a special treat I forced myself to make this chapter a bit longer. Enjoy!

Hi (guest): I have never openly said who I ship, and I think you will be surprised… Thank you for reviewing!

Twinkletoestbh: Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I am thinking about doing a Dark!Dex so I am glad that came across.

Sorry if I forgot to respond to you!

I am also apologizing for not writing in forever! Between auditions, exams, and competitions I have been a little busy!

Enjoy this longer edition for you all.

Dex POV

I woke up in the morning and decided that it had to just be part of their cognate training. Sophie and Fitz couldn't think of each other like that. So I went down to the breakfast room. It was about 6:30 in the morning so I did not expect anyone to be up, but low and behold there sitting under the tree, and eating together were Sophie and Fitz. Their heads were almost touching and they seemed to be deep in a mental conversation, from the way they were staring blankly into each other eyes. I walked over determined to catch them off guard, but Sophie looked up and I gasped. Her eyes were sparkling, and she looked so happy I thought I must have seen things. And it looked as though I was right, because the next moment her eyes were filled with sadness. She said, "Hey Dex why are you here so early?"

As I chatted with her about waking up I noticed Fitz removing the piece of paper. Weird. I would have to try and see it.

"I am gonna go get some food.", I said while trying to think of a way to see that paper. I looked over in the line, and they were talking again, when all of a sudden Sophie laughed out loud the sound soothing my ears. But what I saw next turned my vision red. Fitz leaned over and kissed Sophie on the cheek, his eyes sparkling, and I could see that she looked happy too. I could not ignore these signs any longer. I had to stop this terrible Sophitz thing that seemed to be happening…

Sophie's POV

Fitz kissed me on the cheek, and I know what you are expecting. You think I am gonna have the butterflies in my stomach, or fireworks, or something like that. But I did not feel any of that. It was like I had a brother now, and looking at Fitz I knew he felt the same way.

(I cannot resist this, but I told you all I was not revealing who I ship for plot purposes, and this is why! Dun dun dun huge reveal)

And that was when I felt truly happy, because I knew right then that I had found myself a sibling. Me and Fitz had worked through the plan meticulously, knowing that it was going to take some hard work. Tonight at the dinner meeting we would tell everybody that we were working on nightmare training again, and so we would have to lock and soundproof the door, which is believable enough. Then we would light leap with a light source of Fitz's to the forest near the cliff. Once there we would hide each other with our minds, and then go see what we could find. This seemed like a pretty fool proof plan, but we were both going over it again and again in anticipation. We really could not screw this up.

Looking up I realized that Dex was gone. I shrugged thinking he must have gone off to eat his breakfast while working on his inventions.

Biana's POV

I was awoken in the morning by a knocking, no pounding, on my bedroom door.

"Give me a sec.", I grumbled as I struggled to the door. Opening it, I was surprised to find Dex standing there, his eyes wide and almost crazed. Before I could even move or ask why he was there he started to speak.

"FitzjustkissedSophieonthecheekandtheyareuptosomethingandiknowitandwhatdowedo?" he managed to rush out all in one breath.

"What? Speak more slowly.", I commanded, interested to know what had Dex so upset.

He took a deep breath before repeating, "Fitz just kissed Sophie on the cheek, and they are up to something, and I know it, and what do we do?"

I sat there for a second digesting what I had just heard, and trying to consider how I felt about this. I felt like Fitz and Sophie were way too close already, but on the other hand that would keep the harpy away from Keefe…

"Ok look, here is the plan. I can go in and pretend to be a teasing sister, and see what I can find, but you are gonna have to distract Sophie with one of your inventions. And you cannot let on that you suspect anything between them.", I warned knowing that if I played my cards right I could probably have total control of Dex.

He nodded wide eyed, and went to build a trinket to show Sophie. I sighed before going to my closet to get dressed. I grabbed a blue and green silky flowing dress, and put it on, as well as some blueish eye shadow, and some light lipstick. I quickly did my hair in a French braid before going downstairs for some breakfast. I looked at Sophie's plain black dress, and ponytail, and sighed. So much potential, and so little effort put forth to achieve it. I went and grabbed some fruit and cereal before sitting by Fitz and Sophie.

"So guys how has your night been?", I asked hoping for any good news on Keefe.

They shared a look and I could tell what Dex meant. They were definitely up to something and I was going to figure it out.

"No, but we are so close, I just know we will get there soon!", said Sophie, but her frustration seemed forced to me.

Just then Dex came in and said, "Sophie, come look at my new invention!" and lead Sophie back to his room.

Once they were gone I looked to Fitz, a sly expression on my face. "So Fitz, how have things been going with Sophie?" I inquired, trying to insinuate about him dating her.

"I feel like I have another little sister now!" he said.

I was unsure of what to feel. On the one hand this meant I could tell Dex he had nothing to worry about, but on the other hand that could mean she would go for Keefe. And it was like she was stealing my spot in my own family! I would have to figure out a course of action later.

Time jump to nightfall. Switch to Sophie's POV

I felt anticipation coursing through my veins. Fitz and I were finally preparing to go and see what was on the cliff. I grabbed ahold of his hand as the light pathway shine in front of us, and taking a deep breath, we stepped in.

Walking out in the darkness of the forest we quickly cloaked each other, so that neither one of us could be seen. We walked to the cliff, and would have ran, were it not for the fear of being caught. We saw scorch marks on the cliff, but no signs of life. Just as I was about to leave in defeat, I heard Fitz gasp, and knew that he must of found something.

Fitz had found a note from Keefe, and it said:

Dear friends,

I have written to you at every stop, and I hope this letter does not reach you. I am terrible for my role in fighting for the wrong side, but I could not leave my mother in pain. Should you find this note you need only look for another in the deepest of blue. However I hope you are all well away and safe.

Love,

Keefe

Their eyes widened in shock as they looked at each other…

POV Biana

Looking through the wall, by vanishing it my mouth fell into a grim line. They weren't there. I knew they were up to something.

I hope you all liked this! The deepest blue is an easy clue, so pm me your guesses on where they are going! R&R please!
