Sophie sat up as the beam of light disappear. She honestly didn't know what to do. She had just jumped away from the only way home just for a girl that might not even want to see her anymore.
But she was proud.
She was proud of herself because she had just jumped out of the only chance home for her sister.
"Sophie," Amy whispered.
Sophie rolled off her younger sister.
"Eleven."
"What?" Amy looked at her in confusion.
"Your eleven," Sophie explained.
Amy laughed. "That's the first thing you say to me?"
"Hey! You are eleven!"
"Whatever,"
Sophie curled herself up into a little ball. "Amy..."
"It's really weird to hear you say that."
"Why?"
"Just...because. Because I was Amy with you...and then I was Natalie without you...and now I'm me again."
"What?"
"Sophie." Amy stood up and pulled her sister onto the couch next to them. "I was always Amy."
"What?"
"I was so confused when they started calling me Natalie. And then we moved. And then they acted like you never existed. I asked them about it, but they just looked at me, confused. So...when they showed up, and then you showed up..."
"Oh Amy," Sophie hugged her sister tight. "You didn't get wiped, did you?"
"What?"
Sophie laughed softly. "Let me explain,"
She explained about the thoughts, and Fitz, and then the elvin world, and then wiping her old families minds. She explained all the adventures she'd had.
After, Amy just stared at her. "But why didn't I get wiped?"
"I don't know," Sophie admitted. "But I love you,"
"I love you too,"
They hugged again. "Okay," said Sophie. "Let's find a way to get back home. And you're coming home with me."
They decided to split up around the house and the yard, looking for clues or something to help them.
Sophie ventured to the edge of the woods, while Amy looked around the small pond they had.
Sophie was looking when it happened.
Pop.
Pop, pop, pop pop pop.
A little bright orange ball landed near Sophie's foot. She inched away a little.
Then a blue one.
A pink one.
A yellow one.
And another orange.
She heard a boom somewhere and then a scream.
"Amy?" She called uncertainly. Sophie heard footsteps.
"AMY?!"
But no one responded. Just footsteps.
She didn't know what was going on. But she knew the little balls were dangerous and that there was something wrong.
The orange ones started to smoke.
A lot.
They kept smoking 'till Sophie couldn't see.
She started coughing. Hard. She was on her knees hacking when the ground started to shake.
She saw a pink light dancing near her. She scrambled away from it. She had to get out of here. Now.
"AMY!"
"AM-" she started coughing again.
More shaking. More light.
And then the boom.
BOOM.
She kept running, but the pink light was spreading.
Fire.
That's what the pink light was.
Sophie didn't look back. She charged through the yard near where she thought the pond was.
"AMY!"
Something clawed at her memory, but she was busy. She opened up her mind.
Amy? She transmitted.
Sophie?
Amy! Just hold on-
Her connection broke. "AMY!"
"Sophie!"
A hand grabbed hers and she screamed. But she realized it was Amy.
"Help," Amy said.
Sophie wrapped her arm around Amy's torso. She put her other one under Amy's legs and felt blood. A lot of it.
Amy had her hand on her neck. Her other hand was wrapped around Sophie's neck.
Sophie stumbled to the the general direction of the house.
Footsteps.
Something hit her head.
She almost blacked out. But she had enough strength to inflict on whoever was behind her.
Amy screamed. Sophie fell to her knees from the pain in her head.
She managed to get Amy through the open door of the house. Amy pulled her the rest of the way.
They shut the door and collapsed on the ground.
Sophie fell asleep with her arms around her little sister.
Hope you liked that! My friend's on chapter 3 and she's texting me like crazy. It is so hard not to spoil it! Okay, so...maybe I spoiled something for her b/c she's my best friend and maybe she guessed the ending so I told her no!? I've learned my lesson. I'll go rant to myself in Africa where no one can hear me but the elephants. (What was that?!)
