Light streamed into Sophie's eyes as she found herself asleep on the floor. When had she fallen asleep? Sophie rubbed her head to find blood on her forehead. Sophie stood up in panic and looked around the room. She examined the cut in the mirror and saw a pool of blood where she was sleeping on the floor. She quickly washed it off and bandaged it. Sophie tried to remember what happened.
Sophie looked at the clock and saw that it already the afternoon. She missed Matchmaking classes so she must be disqualified. How had she slept that much? All she remembered was Fitz coming and telling her lots of information that could help her find them. She also remembered that he told her not to come looking for them. She had too. She could never let them risk their lives so she will not turn evil.
That's just silly. Sophie won't turn evil. When she went to clean some of the blood off the floor (which she knows won't come off but she could at least make it less noticable) she saw a blue liquid near the blood. Sophie needed to find out what it was. She remembers that Grady has an element tester in his room.
She went to Grady and Edaline's room and slowly walked in. She didn't know why she was scared but she had never really been home alone and in her parents room. It was like a syringe that sucked up elements and a screen that said the element.
Sophie went back to her room and tested it out. The result said it was a memory loss substance. Not sure which exact one, but that it caused memory loss. So, someone came in here after Fitz left and when they hit her, to hide who it was they drugged her.
Sophie went to put the tester back when in the corner of her eye she saw something. Sophie looked at her bed and there was a slash in her bed with lots of stuffing pouring out. "Where had that come from?" Sophie looked around her room for more things. She hadn't noticed anything. Why? Her desk chair was flipped and all the things on her desk were thrown off except her clock.
Her bookshelf was tilted with all the books on the floor. It looks like whoever had drugged her looked around her room for something once she was knocked out. One thing she hadn't noticed shocked her. Next to where she had fallen asleep was a dagger. How had she not seen it? It was the secret dagger that Grady kept hidden in case of an emergency. Only she knew where it was.
Sophie looked at the element tester to see if it tested DNA too. After she looked at the instructions, it said it only tests DNA that was set up for it by the buyer. And Sophie was when she first moved in. In case of an emergency. Sophie tested the DNA on the dagger. It was hers.
She sat down to piece everything together. It looks like after Fitz left, someone had came and attacked her. She had defended herself, but they knocked her out and drugged her to cover up who it was. They searched and tore up her room to find something and then left. Did they find what they needed? Did they not? Who were they? Part of the Neverseen? Sophie still had so many questions. Sophie looked at the blood stain on the carpet. As she examined it, there were actually two bloodstains that were a slightly different color.
Sophie tested it and it was someone else's blood. It was very little, but whoever the attacker was, she had injured them. Sophie jumped at the sound of the doorbell. Who could be there?
She ran downstairs and opened the door. "Um, Brett. Hi. What are you doing here?" Sophie asked. She saw Brett standing on her doorstep holding a scroll. He looked as handsome as she had last saw him. His bright blue eyes and dark hair made him so beautiful.
I saw you didn't show up to Matchmaking Classes this morning. So you wouldn't have to miss it and wait until next year again, I filled out all the questions for you. Mostly because I want to be matched with you. He took her hand and she stared at it. On his wrist was a deep cut that had dry blood around it. The blood was fresh, she could tell. He was the one that drugged her last night.
Sophie snatched her hand away. He looked at her, confused. "Um, sorry. I'm just very sick… I don't um want you to get sick too. Better stay away." As Sophie talked she could see Brett staring at her bandage. "What happened to your head?" Sophie had been so fixed on him grabbing her hand and him having a cut that she just realized what he said. He filled out her questions for her.
"Wait, you filled out my questions?! How could you do that? You are not my type and probably did all the opposites." Sophie shouted. Brett laughed, "Don't worry, when I peeked at your answers the first day I saw what kind of boys you're into. I answered all the questions as if I were you." As he talked Sophie caught him staring at her bandage. "And… what happened to your head?"
Sophie quickly thought of a lie. "Um, my head hurts so I put a… cooled… bandage around it to make it feel better. Yah, that's right, I used a um cool bandage." Brett looked at her funny and smiled. "I love it when you act like this." Brett said with an evily grinny look. Sophie looked at his eyes. No, she can't she will get sucked in.
Sophie quickly looked away. "Um, act like what?" Brett laughed, "I can tell you're lying." She gave him a nasty look. "Look, Brett, I appreciate you filling out my scroll for me but never do that again." Sophie started to get mad. "And also, I'm not lying. If this headache didn't hurt so much I would go into your mind and transmit all your darkest secrets to the world. Then, I would snap your neck and bury you alive. Got it?"
Sophie hadn't realized that she grabbed his hand and started to twist it. He screamed with pain and fell to the ground. She calmed down and realized what she was doing. He tried to make her mad so his plan would get better. She slammed the door and locked all the bolts and locks.
Brett stood up and smiled evily.
It worked. She got mad. Really mad. Brett transmitted.
Good, now we just need her to come get her friends. Then everything will go according to plan.
Haha, wait until tomorrow to find out what happens next. :P
