I'm freaking out! Today is the day that I'm finally ready to heal Alden's mind. I got my mind "fixed" you could say, a few months ago, and since then, I've been talking to almost. Every. Single. Telepath that I could find.I've tried reading books, but they're not helpful whatsoever. I've even tried talking to Tiergan, who is one of the best telepaths I've ever met. And even he wasn't helpful, because I'm the first ever telepath that can even enter a broken mind without being driven to insanity. Stupid. I know.

Anyways. I've been pacing around and around my flowery carpet, crushing the flower petals, to where I'm going to be surprised if they're not permanently flattened. Sandor is standing outside my door like always, and every ten minutes, he always pops his head in to make sure that I'm ok. He also tells me how much more time I have to prepare before we head over to Everglen. Last time he popped his head in, he said that I only have five more minutes before we have to leap over.

I'm panicking. Like I feel like I might have a heart attack. I know that if I fail, and don't heal Alden, then both Fitz and Biana will hate me forever. And since no elf has died from old age, it actually could be forever.

I'm interrupted from my thoughts by Sandor knocking on my door and coming in. "Hey, it's time to go, are you ready?" he asks in his squeaky-like voice. "As ready as I'll ever be," I mumble under my breath. I walk down the stairs to the middle of the second floor where our Leapmaster 500 is held. There I see my adoptive parents, Grady and Edaline are standing. When Edaline sees me, she runs up to me and gives me a big hug. Grady comes over, and it turns into a family group hug.

Edaline and Grady finally break away, and Gray wraps an arm around his wife's waist. "You're going to do great, Soph. I know you can bring him back. And if you can't, then we can wait for you to do more studying, and training, then we can try again. It won't be the end of the world," Grady says. "But it would be the end of the world for the Vacker family. Don't you see how broken Della is? Or even Fitz or Biana. They're all falling apart," I say. Grady gives me a comforting smile, probably because he doesn't know what else to say. And to be honest, neither do I.

They each give me one more hug and a kiss on the cheek before leading me to the middle of the crystals. I give them one more smile before I leap. "Everglen!"

When I get to Everglen, everything seems dimmer. The crystal palace seems darker, the sky isn't as bright, and even the light absorbing gates seem darker.

I walk toward the gate, and wait there. I haven't learned the code to the gate, so I have to wait for either Della, Biana, or Fitz to open the gate.

I feel like I've been waiting outside the gate for about ten minutes before I finally see the remains of the Vavker family walking up; Della in the front, and Fitz and Biana behind her in a triangle formation. Della and Biana gave me a small smile, while Fitz just glared daggers at me.

I understand though. I risked his dad's life, and wouldn't tell him unless he picked it out of my head. Which he did.

Della opened the gate, and Biana walked up to me before giving me a hug. I could feel a wetness on my shoulder, and I looked down, and Biana was silently crying. She keeps hugging me,until after a little while, she pulls away, wiping her eyes.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry about h-how I treated you," she says between sniffles. I give her a small smile, and wrap an arm around her shoulders. "It's alright. I would've reacted the same way as you if it was me."

She smiles at me, and takes my hand, leading me towards the house. "Sophie!" I hear a musical voice call. I turn around, and I see Della coming towards Biana and I. "May I talk to you in private?" She runs her hand through her supermodel styled hair.

I look at Biana, and she slightly nods, and walks towards Fitz.

"Follow me," Della says, walking away. It's kind of difficult to follow her, since she fades in and out every step she takes. She stops in front of the tree that Fitz and Keefe use as their base when we play Base Quest.

"I know that my family has not been the best to you for the past couple months. And I know that there is no excuse for our actions, but I wanted to thank you for trying to heal Alden. He'd be so proud of you," Della says, giving me a hug

"I was so convinced that your family hated me," I muttered, probably too quietly for her to hear. But, of course she heard. "No matter what you do, we could never hate you. It's impossible." She gives me a big hug. This time I hugged her back.

I walk to the house with Della at my side. I walk past Fitz and Biana, because they're talking by the tree, and it looks like they're fighting over something. Probably me. I look at Della, then I look at Fitz and Biana. Della must've understood what I was trying to do, and nodded to me. I give her a small smile, and walk towards the fighting siblings.

"Biana! Look what she did to dad! He's stuck on a stupid bed, trapped in his own insane mind! Don't you care about him?!" Fitz yells at Biana.

"Don't. You. Even. Try! Of course I care about him! But he brought this up on his own! He asked Sophie to go with him to Exile! He wanted to go into Fintan's mind! He didn't go to anyone when he was having guilty thoughts! Sophie didn't tell him to do any of that! She told me that she didn't want to go to Exile with him, but dad insisted! She didn't want to be a part of any of this!"

Wow. I didn't expect Biana to blow up like that. But I'm glad that she stood up for me. But on the other hand, I don't want to be the reason that Fitz and Biana would hate each other.

I decided that it's time for me to make my big entrance. "Is everything ok over here?" I ask. They both jump, and turn towards me. Fitz glares at me, while Biana smiles at me.

"I'm gonna go," Biana says, going towards her mom. Why would she leave me alone with Fitz? I cringe on the inside, because I'm about to get yelled at.

"You better fix him, or you won't be here again. Not here, not at school, probably not even on this planet. You got that?" Wow. He's really mad. This isn't very good. But I have a plan, that he would never have to see me again. But of course, he doesn't know that.

"Well, after I heal your father, you'll never have to care about me again. You'll never have to care about where I am, who I'm with, nothing. It'll be like I never existed." I turn on my heel and walk away.

I walk into the room that they're keeping Alden, and when I enter, I already see Biana and Della in the room, sitting on the couch by the door. I look on the bed, and I see Alden, covered in sweat, with his arms and legs restrained down, so he wouldn't hurt himself, or the others who came to check up on him.

I look around, and I don't see Fitz coming, and I don't think that he has any interest in coming. But that doesn't matter. What matters is my healing Alden.

I put my hands on Alden's clammy temples, and I started to push my mind into his.
