" How this story ends is all up to you"

Sophie POV

Worried, my friends and I sprinted after Dex. Please be alright, Fitz, I prayed. I couldn't forgive myself if anything happened to him.

" It's here-" Dex said but his mouth was soon cupped shut.

" Dex!" I yelled and just in time to see a hooded figure and another one right next to him, carrying Fitz in one hand.

" Fitz..." I trailed. He was beaten up pretty bad. He had scratches on his arms and legs. He almost looked... unconscious.

" Looking at your boyfriend?" Lady Gisella said with a smirk as she appeared between the two hooded fugures.

" Let Fitz and my cousin go!" I yelled.

Of course, Lady Gisella just yawned and do nothing. It took all of Biana's and Keefe's will power just to hold me back.

" You monster!" Linh cried and Lady Gisella rolled her eyes.

" Mum! Let him go!" Keefe ordered.

" And I thought you hated them, son," Lady Gisella hissed and Keefe just stood taller.

" I like them over you do, that's for sure!" Keefe snapped at his mother.

Lady Gisella's eyes hardened before she pulled out a medler and aimed it at Fitz, " You either play along with me or your friend here could be dead. Our technopath adjusted it just to kill someone when pointed at the head."

My eyes widened, " Don't you dare!"

" Oh I do," Lady Gisella hissed.

Lady Gisella pointed the medler closer to Fitz's head and was about to pull the triger.

" No! I beg you!" I pleaded.

" Then come along moonlark and my son wherever you are hiding," Lady Gisella ordered and I gave in.

I looked at my friends, all giving me worried and pleading signs not to do this. I sighed as I tried to hold tears back and walked towards her.

As I walked pass Dex, I mouthed a 'sorry' and Dex tried to look angry but I could tell he was worried, concerned and begging not to leave him. Tears reached my eyes, threatening to fall. As I finally reached Fitz, I looked at him, tears staining his cheeks.

" Can I say-" but Lady Gisella nodded with a remark I had no time to pay attention too.

I walked up to Fitz cupped his cheek.

" Please don't do this," he begged me.

I shook my head, " I'm a failure, Fitz. This is suppose to happen."

" There has to be another way! Maybe-" but i place a finger to his lips.

" Fitz, I want that too. So much. To not have all of this trouble but there isn't any other solution," I said tears finally trickling down my cheeks.

" I'm sorry," I said and cupped his cheek and place my lips onto his.

It was a short and brief kiss but it had so much passion. Fitz kissed me back almost immediately and our tears mixed. It hurt my heart to pull away and look into his sad, teary eyes.

" I'm sorry," I repeated and kissed his forehead and went to Lady Gisella's side.

" Now, son, come on out," Lady Gisella said but he didn't appear.

Lady Gisella huffed, " Then you give me no choice."

Lady Gisella pulled the trigger on the medler.

" No!" I screamed.

Everything happened in a blur. The next thing I saw was Fitz somehow alive but next to him was a body, unconscious. Blond hair like mine.

" Keefe!"  I exclaimed and rush to his side and Macura took action and captured the Neverseen.

" Keefe! Wake up, please," I begged.

The blond hair boy opened his eyes and moved his mouth, " Sophie, you beautiful girl. I never deserved a heart as pure as yours. Fitz, take care of her. She means the world to me. Sophie, remember how this ends is all up to you..."

His head laid in my lap and his eyes closed slowly and his hands stopped fiddling with my hair. Tears rolled down my cheeks.

" I'll take him to Elwin. I have no purpose here anyways," Stina offered.

" Stina don't say that," I said.

" There might be a chance to save him, please we can't loose him," Stina pleaded, knowing how much I used to have happy moments with him.

I nodded and handed him over. With that, Stina took out a pathfinder she was given and light leaped away with Keefe on her shoulder...
