Slowly, she knocked on the door.

Once. Twice.

"Ye-" Edaline started.

She abruptly stopped when she saw Sophie.

Vika rushed over and said, "Come in," gesturing to their room.

Sophie tossed her waist-length braid over her shoulder and said "No, thank you."

"Then why did you come here?" Alden questioned.

"Because Jolie wanted me too, and I never say no to my sister," Sophie stated.

Seeing that she had grabbed everybody's attention, she kept going.

"Biana got hurt trying to save Milanna from the Neverseen members that were trying to kidnap Milanna, and Jolie wanted me to tell you."

Sophie very conveniently left out the fact that Jolie also wanted her to fix their friendship.

Tam jumped up and said, "REALLY!?"

All heads turned towards him.

"I mean really?" he mumbled, sitting back.

"Yes, really. Now get your asses to her," Sophie said rolling her eyes. She turned on her heels and stomped down the hallway.

All heads turned towards Zayn. "Wha?" he mumbled.

They started at him.

After an exaggerated sigh and a major eye roll, then 1he reluctantly said, "Follow me."

The only thing to keep things from getting awkward was the gentle sound of their heels on the sturdy floor.

"What happened?" Linh gently asked.

"What happened?" Zayn asked, confused

"To Sophie. She wasn't always like this," Marella pondered.

Zayn snorted. "When you leave your best friend alone to fend for herself, what else is she supposed to do? Someone had to stay brave."

And with that's when things got awkward.

Soon enough, they reached Biana. She had a bandage wrapped around her wrist and a faint bruise on her forehead.

"Here," a brown-haired figure said, holding a pale blue vile.

Biana looked at the bottle, going cross-eyed.

"It tastes good," the brown-haired girl promised.

"Bout time you got here. The name's Mena," somebody else said with a nod of her head. She might have sounded nice, but she looked like she wanted to murder them. Yep, they were starting to get how they were Sophie's friends.

"And you would know Sophie by?" Councilor Emery asked.

"Friends. Someone had to stick by me, Emery," a familiar voice said, the venom clear.

Sophie's voice.

She walked forward and sat down in between Cassidy and Zayn.

"I'm going to get this straight. The only reason I'm doing this is because Jolie asked. We are nothing more than allies. Not friends. You are going to help me get my daughter back and that's it. I run the place, so trust me, I can make your life a living hell if I want. Do we have a deal?" Sophie said, her head high.

Her eyes her filed with hate for them. Her long blonde hair up in a tight bun, making her eyes look wide. Her lips were painted a bold red and in a straight line.

"Ok," Bronte stated, after a minute of consideration.

Even after everyone nodded, Sophie looked reluctant to nod her head. Zayn stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and whispered something to her, making her stiff back loosen.

After a quick nod of her head, Sophie declared, "And that made it official. Get some rest, we'll make a plan in the morning."

"Biana?" Tam asked.

All heads turned to him once again.

"Denial mode over?" Sophie guessed.

Tam and a now-awake Biana's cheek's turned bright red.

Sophie's red lips twisted into a smirk. "I'll take that as a yes. Regina, she good?"

"Yep. She didn't get hurt much," the girl, Regina, said.

"See you guys in the morning,"


A/N Well, they're in sorta good condition. Told you ii_rxvenclaw & deaths_angel_15. Also, I got in a lot of Mena for you MenaTheWolf. I can get some Tena (Tam + Mena) in there for you too (if you want).
