Sophie woke up with a searing pain in her head. Just as quickly it came, it went away. The transition from last night bouncing around in her head. It was 2am and She couldn't go back to sleep. Sophie decided to take a walk and exited the room softly closing the door behind her. Sophie wandered the massive halls. She reached a balcony and flung open the curved doors. It was beautiful. She looked down and saw the pale blue shimmering lake. She looked down and saw a silhouette of two people. A girl and a boy. They were implanted in a kiss. As Sophie adjusted to the light, she realized who those people were. Her Mind wouldn't believe it. She collapsed in a pile and started sobbing. Crystal tears fell onto the balcony. She stayed there for a few minutes and heard soft speaking. Sophie ran back to the room and quietly sobbed in her bed.
Fitz POV:
Fitz couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned and then noticed Linh was gone. He got up and went to the lake. Next to a tree Linh was laying down and quickly got up at the sight of him. She looked so beautiful, her hair was blowing in the wind and her eyes shimmered in the moonlight. Linh. His crush. He walked over to her and sat down. "Hey Fitz!"
"H-hey Linh." Fitz said.
"Couldn't sleep?"
"Yea. You?"
"Same" she said. Linh looked nervous. She turned to me and said words that I never thought i would ever hear.
"I have a crush on you Fitz." I was blank. Without realizing, she kissed me right on the lips.
Did she really like me? I kissed her back and we released for air.
"You like me?" asked Linh.
"Yea." I said and she smiled. It was a wonderful smile. We kissed again and this time a pair of brown eyes appeared. Sophie. She was his other crush but he had moved on. Right? He ignored the thought and sank in. A loud Thump Thump Thump came from the balcony above. Was someone there? We decided to go back to the room and left hand in hand. When we arrived to the glass roofed room, We heard soft crying behind the door. As it opened the crying suddenly stopped. We went inside to see everyone else asleep. We got in our sleeping bags and drifted into a deep slumber.
Sophie POV
Sophie started sobbing. She couldn't believe that had happened. She would have to move on. Maybe her other crush Keefe? Maybe she didn't deserve either of them. She had put her friends in enough danger. This had to stop. She heard the doorknob turn and held in her tears. Sophie then fell into a numb sleep.
"Everyone get up!" I woke up with my head throbbing but couldn't move.
"Sophie? Are you awake?" I heard someone say. I groaned. My head was aching so I couldn't even get up.
"Everyone! Follow me! We have no time to lose!" Another voice said.
I felt someone pick me up and step into light. We were leaping somewhere. I coughed, it felt like I was being drowned in water. I forced my eyes to open and winced at the blinding light. I was in a beautiful room on a teal canopy bed. Mr. Forkle and Fitz were whispering to each other.
"Where are we?" I managed to say. They ran over to be, well more like wobbled quickly in Mr. Forkle's case.
"Sophie! Your awake! And before you ask, you were only asleep for a couple of hours"
"And to answer your question, Miss. Foster, We are currently at one of the black swans most secure hideout. Our resources said the never seen will try to attack you today."
"Oh" I clutched my temples as I heard the same transmission.
'Help! Please! Someone!'
"You heard that before?" Asked Mr. Forkle. I nodded, not caring about how he went into my head.
"I'll have to look into it. It might be a trap. I don't know this person got into your head but DONT follow it. I WILL make sure of that." I nodded again.
"I have to leave now. Take this every time you have another headache." He said as he put a golden elixir on my white and gold bedside table. Sophie got up and said,
"Where's everyone else?"
"They are out getting supplies." Said Fitz, "The Black Swan didn't have time as they were trying to evacuate us. They should be back anytime now."
"Oh. Ok" Right on cue, They heard chatter downstairs. They raced down the stairs and helped move everything in.
