Ok, I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry about not updating this! It was just, I lost my laptop for a while, and then my wifi went AWOL, and then I lost the will to keep writing, but I hope I can be more consistent in the future. Anyway, here's chapter 4. Btw, for all TRUE fans out there, Sanya is my own character. Other than that, everything is the GODDESS Shannon Messenger's. Also, I couldn't remember if there was a specified crystal for leaping underground, so I used purple. If I was wrong, please PM me and I'll change it. Anyway, enjoy!
Sophie dashed down the tower stairs, following Keefe's billowing silver robes. Her heart was racing and fractured ideas were spinning around in her head, no thanks to the speed she was running at. Their relationship had been rocky at best lately, but she didn't want him to die. What was wrong?
She burst out the tower door, where Magnate Sanya stood, a confused look on her face. Biana shouted, "Sorry, San," back at her as she ran, but Keefe and Sophie didn't pay her attention. There were more important things to worry about.
"What—happened?" Sophie asked, panting as she slowed down. Now that Keefe wasn't playing the role of boyfriend, she could see how pale his face was, the fact that his normally expertly styled hair was a mess, the fear in his sky-blue eyes. A splatter of freckles stood out against his nose, details she hadn't before realized. He shook his head. "Don't—know. He was in Exile, but Alden won't say anything. He's not—Bullhorn's curled up next to him, and he won't move."
Sophie gasped, and Keefe took her hand. "They're at Aluvettere—seemed like a safe place to stay for now. Dex's mom gave me a leaping crystal." He held the purple crystal up to the light—purple for underground. Sophie gripped Biana's hand, and they disappeared into the violet light.
Ok, I'm sorry it's short and that nothing really happened, but I updated it on the school computers at lunch and had basically no time. Just wanted to put something more on this story. I'll update more soon, I promise!
