Hey guys, thanks to everyone who reviewed! I'm sorry that these chapters are so short. I'll try to make them longer in the future.

"Okay," Sophie said, her thoughts clearing. "Keefe, I need you to draw a layout of all the hideouts you've been to, and what the outside surroundings look like. Try to remember every detail. Maybe we can pinpoint where Fitz is."

Keefe nodded, and grabbed a pen and paper, starting to sketch.

"Dex, I need to you try to track Fitz's registry pendant. Also, our Cognate rings are trackable. See if you can find a signal."

Dex raised an eyebrow. "I didn't know your rings were trackable."

"It's one of the features. We never told anyone because- well… I don't know why." Sophie shrugged.

"I'll need your rings to be able to track his," Dex said, holding his hand out.

Sophie quickly slipped them off, and turned to Tam and Linh.

"I need you two to write a message to the Collective, explaining what's happening. Ask them what we should do."

The twins nodded simultaneously, and grabbed a pen and paper, starting to write.

"I'm going to research the color crystal I saw, and see if I can find where it leads," Sophie finished.

Sophie walked over to the bookshelf, and grabbed all the books on leaping crystals. She opened the first book. She flipped the pages, scanning the pictures, but didn't find anything. She opened the next book, and used the same process. Nothing.

Tam came up to her. He wordlessly handed her a slip of paper, which said:

Fitz has been kidnapped. We can't track him. Advice?

"That sounds good. Could you and Linh go put that in the cave?" Sophie asked.

Tam nodded, and he and Linh walked off.

Sophie picked up the next book on crystals, and again, didn't find anything. She groaned inwardly. Picking up the last book, she hoped that it had something. Halfway through, she stopped. There it was! She grinned, until she read the passage. It said:

This crystal is an extremely rare crystal. There is only one, and where it leads to is unknown.

Great.

Just then, Keefe called her over. "I finished the sketches."

"Great," Sophie said. Which one would they most likely take him to?"

Keefe pointed to one of his sketches. "This one, probably. It's where they take prisoners."

Sophie scanned the drawing. And it looked like.. any other underground base. Wonderful.

"Sorry," Keefe said.

Sophie shook her head. "No, it's fine. I just-"

She was cut off by the arrival of Tam and Linh.

"We put the note in place," Linh said quietly.

"Thanks. Dex, how are things going?"

Dex frowned. "Well, they must have destroyed his registry pendant, because I can't find that either."

Sophie sighed in frustration. "And our Cognate rings?"

"I have a trace, but it's weird." He showed Sophie the screen of his device. "It pinpoints a location, but it doesn't give us much information, because it only shows where it is in its surroundings. But I have no idea where those surrounding are."

Sophie tugged out an itchy eyelash. "We'll have to find them then," she said finally.

"How?" asked Tam.

Sophie said, "By looking everywhere if we have to. Linh, can you create water pure enough to drink?"

Linh nodded.

"Good. That's one less thing we have to bring. Tam-"

"Hey," interrupted Keefe. "I just realized.. where's Biana?"

Sophie glanced at him. "She's at Everglen. Recovering."

"From?"

"From everything that's been happening. Can you honestly say that you don't want a break? Anyway, Tam- I need you to pack the food. Enough for a long time. Dex, pack all your tech gizmos. Keefe, get some necessary supplies. Once you're all done with that, everyone pack some of your clothes. I'm gonna get everything else. Understood?"

Everyone nodded, and went to pack. In total, they had five bags. One for each person.

"Where are we going first, Foster?" asked Keefe.

Sophie took out a map, and scanned it. She bit her lip. "I suppose we'll have to guess. Let's start..." She closed her eyes, and randomly pointed to a place on the map. "Here." They looked at the location. It was in the middle of the an ocean. Sophie turned red. "Um, I meant here," and again she pointed at a random spot. This time, her finger hit land. She mentally memorized the location.

The five of them trudged up to a cliff near Havenfield. They locked hands, and jumped.

The ground cracked open, and plunged them into the void.
