Chapter 3
We meet at Atlantis. She had chosen light teal fitted tunic and white leggings. A long white cape was pinned loosely around her neck with her Ruewen Crest. A hawk holding a white rose. When she spotted Fitz she immediately blushed. He was in a navy blue shirt with black pants, his black cape flapped in the wind.
He turned to find Sophie staring at him. He winked as he walked over to her.
"Hey," Fitz said as he scanned over her outfit, " Since when is teal your color?"
"Um, I think it is a pretty color. Like your eyes." Sophie was surprised when he turned away blushing.
"Come with me, Lady Foster," Fitz said dramatically, holding out his arm for Sophie.
"As you wish Sir Vacker." Sophie with just as much drama, as they walked the streets people stared at them.
"There is a new cafe that opened. I hear there mallowmelt is too die for." Fitz said again winking at Sophie. He knew she loved mallowmelt. There were a hundred different flavors, but Sophie knew what she wanted.
A lady in a purple apron and matching purple hair, stepped into view.
"How may I help you?"
"Can we have an original mallowmelt, please?" Fitz asked.
"Yes, two spoons?" She was answered by a head nod from Fitz.
She handed them the biggest piece of mallowmelt Sophie could have died.
"Let's sit here," Fitz said, pointing to a little table in the corner. Away from people.
"Oh, my word," Sophie said.
"This piece is ginormous." Fitz said taking a ginormous bite, "So you going to tell me?" He said pulling out a chair for her. When Fitz sat down their knees touched, and she noticed Fitz blushing.
"As I was saying the other day, I have been reluctant to tell you because I am afraid. I tell myself that it is because it would mess up everything, but I am just afraid. It would change everything." Sophie took a long breath after her rant. Taking an even bigger piece of mallowmelt.
"Sophie," Fitz said taking her hand, looking into her eyes, and making her blush, "I have told you before, and I will tell you again. I can handle it." When Sophie was done chewing her huge piece of mallowmelt. She started to say, "Fitz I-" When he reached across the little table and kissed her.
It was sweet with mallowmelt, Fitz pulled away. Looking into her eyes.
"Um… Fitz. I…" Sophie was lost to words.
Suddenly the door swung open. Three figures in black with white eyes on their shoulders walked in.
"Where is Sophie?" The first Neverseen member yelled, "Show yourself or we will kill you all!" The crowded cafe stared in shock.
"Fitz," Sophie said as he stepped in front of her, "The thing I wanted to tell you is that I have a crush on you." She smiled weakly and kiss him softly.
"Goodbye. I will be safe." Sophie said as she ran to the Neverseen. She heard Fitz yell, "Sophie! NO!" He knew there was no stopping her.
The last words she heard before she was leaped away where "I will find a way to get to you! I love y-"
