A Diffrent Enemy - A Sofitz Kotlc Fanfiction

~Chapter 6~

"Hi mom!" Fitz said as his mom opened the door.

"Fitz!" Della exclaimed, pulling her son into a hug.

"Hi grandma!" Calla said, running towards Fitz's mom

"How my favorite grandchild?" Della cooed, scooping Calla up

"I lost my first tooth!" Calla said, smiling at Della to show where she lost her tooth

"Wow you're such a big girl!" Della said, setting Calla down.

Calla looked so happy that....

A blast shout out of her head and straight at Della. It hit Della. Della started laughing and laughing and laughing. Her whole body was shaking but her eyes held pure terror.

Sophie had only seen this once. In her whole life.

Sophie entered Della's mind, transmitting mean and awful things. Della was starting to calm down but not completely and Sophie was running out of energy. 

Sophie squeezed Fitz's hand and he sent her an energy burst. Alden was pinning Della back so that she couldn't squirm while Sophie tried calming her down. Finally Della calmed down. 

She took one deep, shaky breath. The another.

She quickly scrambled back from Calla and into Alden's arms.

"I'm sorry grandma." Calla cried

"Just. Just stay away ok?" Della asked, hiding like a child behind Alden.

Calla burst into tears and Sophie quickly scooped her up.

"It's not her fault. She just has to control her ability." Sophie defended her youngest daughter

"Ability?" Everybody said at the same time.

"She inflicted on Della." Sophie said simply

"Inflicting." Fitz echoed

"Haha! My daughter's the third inflictor in the world!" Fitz said, grabbing Calla and swung her in the air.

Calla stopped crying almost instantly and she took to giggling. 

"And at such a young age." Alden marveled

Calla beamed and Lily eyed her enviously.

Lily hadn't manifested yet. She was only eight but Fitz knew she had high hopes of manifesting early like Sophie.

Fitz hugged her.

"Your turn next!" He said cheerfully 

"I guess." She muttered

Only a year ago Kenny had manifested as a Polygot. He had used that advantage to curse at his dad in diffrent launguages. Of course not when his mother was around becasue, well, she was a polygot too.

Kenny was 13. 

"I don't feel that well. You should go home and come back another day." Della said, eyeing Calla.

"That's not tr-" Alden started but was silenced by Della

Della did look pale. But she definitely wasn't sick.

"I'm sorry Della. I'll get straight to helping Calla." Sophie apologized.

Della nodded blankly

Sophie picked up Calla and light-leaped away.

Lily and Kenric held hands and followed their mother.

"Sorry." He muttered, light-leaping after his family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All twelve Councillors crowded into Everdream's living room.

Fitz and Sophie had talked and they decided that they should tell the Council.

Calla was wearing a teal gown and enjoyed being the center of attention.

Bronte came over to Sophie

"So your daughter has manifested as an Inflictor?" He asked, sweat was trickling down his neck.

"Yes. Is there something wrong?" Sophie asked

"I need to talk to you." He said nervously

Sophie led him to the guest room and then he said something she would've never, ever, imagined.

"Sophie I'm your father." He said quietly

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fitz picked up Calla as the Councillors crowded her.

"One at a time." He called out

"How do you know she's an Inflictor?" Councillor Alina asked

Fitz squirmed at the question.

"She inflicted on Della." Fitz said quietly

"What?" Councillor Oralie asked quietly

"Not pain! Happiness." Fitz said

"Della was making her super happy and proud and then....." Fitz trailed off as a thump was heard from upstairs.

Sophie was gone.

Fitz put Calla down and ran past the Councillors and their bodygaurds and upstairs.

The Council followed him.

He found Councillor Bronte shaking Sophie shoulder and Sophie unconscious on the floor.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" Fitz yelled pushing Councillor Bronte away from Sophie.

Bronte stumbled back.

Fitz followed him.

"What. Did. You. Do?!" Fitz yelled and pushed Bronte again.

Bronte didn't resist and kept stumbling back.

Councillor Noland made a loud sound and Fitz stopped in his tracks. 

"Stop." Alina said

Fitz shook his head and helped Bronte up.

"I'm.... I'm sorry. I don't know what happened." Fitz said

Sophie groaned.

Fitz rushed to her side.

"Fitz?" She asked, her eyes blinking slowly

"What did Bronte do?" He asked

"Bronte? Nothing." Sophie said quickly, eyes opening.

Fitz eyed her suspiciously.

"I'm fine." Sophie promised, sitting up.

Fitz looked from Bronte to Sophie. And back.

"Ok." He finally said

Sophie hugged him the stood up.

"Well that's done." She said

For now

Sophie transmitted

I'm sorry

You should be

And with that she severed the telepathic connection.
