Kendra set on her bed. "Ugh! What is happening!?" She screamed to no one. She thought about Gavin. His hair had become darker than the milk chocolate/dark chocolate color she was used to. Now it was nearly black. His skin had slightly paled from being locked in a cell for 2 years. Just then her grandmother barged in.
"Kendra Sorenson! Do you realize you left your grandfather and brother at the Living Mirage without the Translocater to get home!" Ruth yelled "I got a call from him!"
"Oops." Kendra sighed as she played with the cylinder, tossing it from hand to hand and slapping her palm softly against it. Her grandmother continued to scold her but Kendra didn't bother to listen. Then she just put the Translocter in one hand and gestured it to her grandmother and sighed "Go."
"Kendra!" Seth yelled. She jumped, not knowing she fell asleep. "We talked to the Shpinx, and used a truth serum. Gavin was not lying. Navarog betrayed us, Not Gavin" For once Seth had a somewhat serious look on his face, before he burst into laughter. "You should be excited Kendra, your boyfriend has returned!" Seth walked out of the room. Kendra fell back on her bed. Did she still like Gavin? Or was she in love with Braken? She didn't think she should trust Gavin, just because he has not betrayed them before doesn't mean he won't in the future. Maybe he is going to bust the Sphinx out and the will find another way to rule the world. She decided to go talk to Braken, he would melt her worries away. She jumped out of the window, on to the lawn. Seth was playing football with the saytars, Hugo, and Mendigo (who was just rebulit). Seth prepared to hike the ball to Verl, who then got distracted by Kendra.
"Hi Kendra, you look lov-" he magaged to say, but before he had finished Seth had hiked the ball and hit Verl in the cheek. Verl collapsed on the floor. Kendra dashed into the forest. She was on the trail that led to the fairy shrine. The trail was less rocky than the previous time she went on it, but it was still the twisted uphill slope she and Braken went on walks upon. When she walked through the hedge she was surprised to see all the fairies that were not in the back yard. Dozen of them glided through the sky elegantly. Braken was facing the fairy shrine as he stood in the Gazebo.
"Braken!" Kendra yelled as she ran toward him. She jumped in his arms and he swang her around, and set her down. His soft lips then touched her cheek. Kendra blushed as she looked at him. Though he had a glimmer in his eyes, Kendra could tell he was deeply worried about something. "Braken, what's wrong, I can tell something is wrong."
Braken placed his hands on her shoulders as he looked away and sighed "The society has claimed vengeance on the Fairy Queen. They will not rest until they see her and her Kingdom destroyed." Kendra's face fell.
"Oh great more bad news." Kendra mumbled.
Braken's head shot toward Kendra and looked her in the eye. "What's the other bad news?" he asked.
"Nothing!" She quickly replied "It's no big deal" she finished softly. She pecked his nose. "I have to go" she turned and walked back to the house.
