Hey guys! I know you're mad at me "WHY GIVE US CLIFFHANGERS?!" But, so I wouldn't disappoint you guys, I posted the next chapter. (this one). I am going to give a quick recap- Fitz breaks Sophie's heart, she runs home and tells Sandor about all her problems. Soon, Dex comes in and looks all messed up while warning her and begging for help. Then, Sophie looks back at Sandor who gets sucked into a black hole and when she turns to look at Dex, he is gone. She realizes so are all her other friends, and their parents, and hers. Sophie tries to find a solution in this chapter. Will she or will she not? Find out.
Happy Reading,

P.S: My best friend (in real life duh) Sydney is also writing a KOTLC story. Go check her out. It's called Sometime Around Autumn and her Writer name is Syds96! Be sure to check her out.
Sophie had been in shock from everything that happened. She leaped to Elwin's and everyone was gone. She hailed each and every person until she gave up. She walked all over town. She went to Slurps & Burps, but it was closed. She went to Everglen, but it was completely deserted. Sophie looked everywhere. All her friends, and their parents were gone. She had hailed Grady and Edaline but they hadn't answered either.
Sophie headed home in panic and her foster parents still weren't home. Sophie paced around her room in fright and panic. What would she do? Where did they go? She had been thinking for so long, she fell asleep in her desk chair.
Thunder boomed and lightning struck. Sophie ran across the field that was only lit by the distant moonlight. Her clothes were torn and her feet ached. She heard the footsteps behind her growing louder and louder, faster and faster. Soon enough she came to a cliff. The same cliff her and the others jumped off to teleport. She couldn't jump and teleport now, she was too tired. Sophie turned around and as she did, a figure in a black Neverseen hoodie watched her. The figure lowered it's hood, and 6 other figures came from behind the first. When the hood lowered, it was Brett. The others formed a circle around half of Sophie and the other half was the cliff. All the other figures pulled down their hoods. It was Dex, Fitz, Keefe, Biana, Tam, and Lihn.
Lihn walked towards Sophie in a zombie-like way. Sophie backed closer and closer to the cliff, then stopped when she couldn't go anymore. Lihn looked her in the eyes. Sophie felt herself being pulled into an eye world. Lihn's eye world. How did she have one? Does everyone? What was she doing? Lihn's eyes had went kaput.
Sophie resisted it and Lihn's eyes fixed on her once again. Lihn stepped closer to Sophie and pushed her off the cliff. Once again, Sophie woke up and screamed. It was a dream. The same dream she had a week ago. Wait? She had fallen asleep? She hadn't noticed. When she looked at the clock, she realized Matchmaking Classes were in 15 minutes.
"I can't go. I have to miss it." Sophie said to herself. All of her friends were gone, and so were her foster parents. She loved them. The more the thought though, the more she needed to go to Matchmaking Classes. If she doesn't show up, they throw out all of her papers and she has to wait until next year to do them. But, she is allowed to take them home to work on if she is sick.
Sophie hails them, and puts lots of white powdered makeup on her face to make her look sick. She told them she was sick and couldn't come. Soon after, the scroll appeared on her desk. Sophie quickly completes the questions and sends them back. She just realized, if none of her friends were there to complete it, she wouldn't be matched with Fitz, or Keefe, or Dex. Not that she wanted to be matched with Keefe or Dex, but she wouldn't with Fitz.
She also realized she doesn't care. He apparently feels for someone else. But, she still has to find them. Sophie leaped to the library. As she walked in, she looked up to see floors and floor of books. They were all ancient and good to read. She had to find something on the void and disappearing people.
After an hour of going through towers and towers of books, Sophie came across the 63rd floor. There were books on space and black holes. Sophie felt as if they didn't get sucked into a black hole because that is in space, but she had to check it out to be sure. Sophie sat down on the super long couch that runs along the whole wall of the library.
Sophie read a section:
A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it.
Black holes are some of the strangest and most fascinating objects found in outer space. They are objects of extreme density, with such strong gravitational attraction that even light cannot escape from their grasp if it comes near enough.
Sometimes in the elvin world they appear in the middle of nowhere and suck whatever is in its way, into it. Including elves. This cannot happen unless someone with the ability of an Spacer makes it happen. They are also very rare. People with the Spacer ability are 1 out of every billion. The ability does not get passed down through genetics either. It's always by chance.
Sophie needed more. All she knew was what the ability was, and what it could do. She needed to know where it took them. She kept reading:
No one knows where it goes, and the only people that have been scientists that have gone in, never came back.
No. This couldn't be. They have to come back. Sophie shut the book, not wanting to read more in case there was something she didn't want to here. Like if her friends and family were… gone. Sophie leaped home and tried to find a solution.
She sat in her room at her desk and looked in her mirror on the wall. She thought, What would my friends do? While she was looking in the mirror, concentrating, she saw a hooded figure pass behind her in the reflection. She turned around and saw…
