Hey guys! Sorry for another late post. I am currently working on Chapter 11. It should be posted tonight or tomorrow morning. This chapter is a Sophitz chapter, but it mostly helps Sophie to find her friends. It's hard to explain without spoiling so get reading!

Happy Reading,

~Katrina

Sophie embraced her lost friend. Where had he been this whole time? When she remembered what had happened the last time she saw him, she let go of him from the tight hug she had pulled him into. "Fitz… I" Sophie said. "Sophie, don't talk. I need to explain. I know the last time we saw each other wasn't very good, but put that in the past. For now. I just need to fill you in on what happened before they find me."

"Fitz, who is they? What happened? I've been doing research to find you guys for the past day." Sophie questioned as she followed him to sit on her bed. "Sophie. It's Brett. The boy you told us about. Him and the Neverseen took all of us. I escaped but I know they will find me soon. I need to talk quick. If you have questions, shoot now or you might never get answers."

"Why didn't they take me? Isn't it always me they are after? Why did they take all the parents? What is going on? How did you escape? Where were you taken? Are you all ok?"

"Sophie, slow down. I'll try to answer as much as I can. They didn't take you because they need to lure you to them. They need you on the dark side and they can't just FORCE you to be bad. They have to let you do it yourself. And that's why they took us. So you can come find us, save us, and whatever their plan is to turn you dark. And for your information, I have no idea what you're talking about for parents. They aren't with us."\

"No one's parents are to be seen. Grady and Edaline are gone, Slurps & Burps hasn't been opened since I last saw you guys, Everglen is deserted, and I haven't seen or heard from Sandor. And you know, your girlfriend doesn't have parents."

"She is not my girlfriend, I said we would talk about this later."

"And I thought you would be glad to talk about your significant other." Sophie felt rage and anger rise in her body. She wanted to blow him to pieces after she kept thinking about why she was crying in her bed all night. It was him. He caused her misery and pain.

"Sophie, we don't have time for this. This isn't yourself talking. The Neverseen are doing something to make you go against me and the others. Just, listen. I love you. And when we kissed, it was real. If this is the last time I see you, I don't want our goodbye to be like this. I don't have any more time. Sophie, when I say this I mean it: Do not come for us. If you do, you will be captured by them and god knows what they will do you. I don't want to find out." When he said that, he put his hand on the side of her face. Her anger lowered and she felt calm again. Why had she gotten so mad?

There was a large boom and Fitz looked out the window next to Sophie's bed. His hand still on her face, he looked back at her. "They're almost here. I have to leave so they don't find me and find out what I have told you. If this is the last time I see you, I want it to be the right way to say goodbye. Not like last time."

"Fitz, I have so many more questions that-" and before she could finish the sentence he kissed her. Their lips were pressed tightly together and Sophie felt as if she instantly forgave him for him and Lihn. But she knew she didn't yet. She also knows that it doesn't matter right now. This might be the last time they see each other." The kiss wasn't the most romantic, because he was in a hurry. Fitz climbed on the window and was about to jump out.

He looked back at Sophie and their eyes locked. "I love you." Sophie said. "I love you too." He replied. Tears began to stream down his face. She took his hand and held it tight. "Fitz, don't go please." Sophie begged. Tears began to stream down her face.

She wouldn't let go. Fitz didn't want to do this, but he transmitted a screeching sound to her mind. Sophie stumbled back and let go of his hand. Instantly, he jumped out the window as Sophie fell to the floor and poured her eyes out.

OMG I KNOW I'M SORRY ANOTHER BAD CHAPTER ENDING. But you know, it keeps my readers reading so, wait for the next chapter to see what happens next!
