So hey guy! Here is the next chapter. I will only post on Saturday or Sunday. I might post in the middle of the week if possible but not always. Since you guys will have to wait a week to get the next chapter each time I will try to make my chapters longer than usual. I usually have about 600 words on each chapter so I will try to make it longer than that. Enjoy!
Fitz's POV
"I-I-I got Sophie," I said. I was so happy I could sleep with her! I just hoped she was not that worried. I walked over to Sophie. She gave me a small smile. Next Dex went and he got Marrella. "Oh well I will stay with Linh and Wylie making sure he does not do something wrong," Tam said glaring at Wylie. Wylie looked scared and raised his hands in defeat. I chuckled.
"All right," I said.
"Everyone get in your sleeping bags with the person you're sharing it with. Like for example I go in Keefe's sleeping bag and sleep with him. Capiche?" Biana said.
Everyone got in the sleeping bags like Biana instructed. Me and Sophie sleeper in my sleeping bag. There was not much space so we were really close and I was ok with that.
"Good night Sophie," I say
"Good night Fitz" she replies with a soft tone.
I heard Sophie scream. I wake up and see her sitting. She had a scared look on her face. "What is wrong," I ask her with a worried tone.
"Nothing. Sorry to wake you" she said.
"Stop lying. I know that there is something wrong. Come on you can tell me. I just want to help."
She started crying. It hurt me to see her cry. I pulled her in for a hug. I played with her hair. It was so soft and smooth. I rubbed small circles around her back.
"I-I-I had a flashback. It was about last night when Vallin raped me. I was so scared when that happened. I just can not forget that moment. It scares me so much, Fitz. I am so scared. Please help me. Please. '' she says with a sad tone.
She had tears streaming down her face. I did not know what to do. And it hurt me so much to see her like this especially when she is pleading for me to help her. I tighten my hands around her and bring her face to my chest. Her tears were streaming on my shirt making it wet but I did not care. She mattered more than my stupid shirt.
"It is ok Soph. I am here. He will not touch you again under any circumstances." I say trying to comfort her. She grabs my shirt. And holds it. And cries even more. I still rubbed circles on her back to comfort her.
"Thank you, Fitz," She says after she calmed down.
"Your welcome. It was really nothing. It was just the right thing to do. I could not leave you to cry. You need help. Especially after whey Vallin did to you." I say. I hesitated a bit. I wanted to ask her about her past. But I was not sure if she was comfortable with saying.
"Hey, Sophie can I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
"Can you tell me about your past? I want to know more about it so I can know you better. Can you also tell me your last ability? And before you say you already told them all to me. I can tell that it was not all your abilities but if you are not comfortable with telling it is okay"
She hesitated before she answered. "Ok, I will tell you about my past. I was born and raised by humans. The black swan implanted me in my mother's stomach. They altered my genetics to make me able to have all these is also how I have these weird brown freakish eyes"
"You do not have brown freakish eyes. They are beautiful and unique." I said.
" Yah sure. Anyway, I also have a mind that no one can enter unless I trust them that much. And it takes time for that to happen. Only 1 person can enter my mind. And he is the person that created me. They created me so I can stop an organization called the neverseen. We stopped the neverseen about 2 months ago. We did it in secret so the council won't know. I have 5 abilities. 4 that you know of and 1 that I like to keep secret. If people know that I have this ability they will never leave me alone. Especially because I am the only one existent. I will transmit it to you but only if you promise to not tell anyone."
"I promise," I said. I was so happy that she told me about her past.
I am an enhancer. She transmits. I was surprised she truly was the only one. And I understood why she kept it secret.
"I get it if you do not want to be my friend now. I am a freak anyway" she said.
"Sophie you are not a freak. You are literally the coolest person I met."
I lifted her head so I could see her face. There were tears streaming down her gorgeous face. I wiped her tears away with my thumb. "Why are you crying, I ask her?" I ask her.
"No one ever said that to me. They always called me a freak"
"Well, they are idiots. Because they clearly can not tell between a beautiful girl and themselves. You are an extremely nice girl. You do not deserve to be called a freak." I said to her.
"Thank you, Fitz. No one ever called me beautiful other than Edaline and Grady. You are the best."
"No need to thank me. You deserved that"
She snuggled closer to me and did not let me go. I liked that feeling. I was so happy that she is here with me and that she opened up to me. It felt good to have her here with me. I leaned down and kissed her hair. She looked up at me with a surprised look and then she gave me a small smile. I noticed that she had a bit of pink on her cheeks. I smiled back at her. She then drifted off to sleep. I kept my hands around her while I drifted off to sleep.
Sophie's POV
I was happy that Fitz was here. And that he kept on supporting me. I then felt a kiss on the top of my head. When I looked up I saw that Fitz kissed my hair. I was surprised. But then I gave him a small smile. I could not help but blush. This extremely cute guy was holding me in his arms. I always get these butterflies in my stomach every time I look at him. Especially when I look into those impossibly beautiful teal eyes. I snuggled closer to him and drifted off to sleep to his heartbeat.
Dex' POV
I was mad. I did not want to get Marella. I wanted Sophie. She was so cute. Her beautiful blond hair. And her unique brown eyes. She was adorable. I really wanted to sleep with her.
Me and Marrella shared my sleeping bag. Marrela went to sleep while I stayed awake thinking about Sophie. I heard a small scream. It was Sophie's I realize. I turned around to see if she was okay. But I saw that Fitz was already helping her. I spied on them the whole time without them noticing. I noticed that Sophie was crying. I wanted to know why. She eventually stopped. They were talking for a bit. Then they went to sleep. But before they did Fitz gave her a small kiss at the top of her head. I was mad. I wanted to be in Fitz's spot. I wanted to help Sophie. I wanted to kiss her. I wanted to be her boyfriend. I mean Fitz is not her boyfriend but he is still really close to her. I will talk to her tomorrow to get closer to her.
Fitz's POV
When we all woke up we decided to play a game.
"Ok guys. We are going to play spin the bottle!" Biana said.
"Noooooooooooo!" we all replied.
"Well too bad," Biana said. "Fitz you are going first."
I really did not want to go first but what can I say. You can never say no to Biana.
"Uhhhh! Fine" I replied.
I span the bottle. I really wanted it to land on Sophie. The bottle span and span. Until it landed on…..
That my friends is the end of the chapter! I left you guys on a cliffie. I am sorry but I like to make it interesting. Remember I will only be posting on the weekends sometimes if possible I will do it during the week. I tried to make it longer; it was 1388 words. That is a record! (or at least only for me). I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Stay safe guys. Bye!
