moonlight assassins [old version]

*thirteen*

It was already the next day when Edaline and Grady came in to tell me something had come up and they couldn't stay with me today. "We're sorry Soph, something came up at the stables. We need to go and take care of it, Sandor will be coming with us because you never know what's going to happen. Be good, if any of the goblins outside catch you out of the house then your punishment will be worse."

I give a small smile and nod, but it's hard knowing that she lied to me. Glimmer got a letter to me right after reading what was in mine and told me that they were going to send some lower agents into the stables to rile the animals up—again. As soon as they left the room I quietly followed them out and checked to see that they were truly gone--which they were--and I opened a portal for my friends.

With a snap the purple black void appears, the lightning and thunder doesn't happen when I make a portal this way though, only when I jump out of the sky. Soon enough they walk in and I realize how messy my room is, "Um, Soph? Mind telling me why...?" I look over to my dad and find a bra draped across my chair. Lords kill me now and save me from this embarrassment.

"Dad!" Soon I levitate all my belongings into the closet before anything else goes wrong. "I still need to get Tam, don't snoop through my things--that was directed to you, Ruy." I pinch the bridge of my nose with one hand and summon the void with the other. And gods help me, "Yikes Soph, when was the last time you cleaned your room?" That's it, I'm going to be sent into Exile for murder.

"Let's just get this over with, my fake child is throwing a hissy fit and I want to go to sleep." Glimmer laughs, fully knowing my joke. Everyone has a confused look on their faces and I smirk, "As you know, my parents think I'm pregnant. They think I'm gullible enough to not know what I was hinting at, Grady said as punishment any guy found in my room that is not Dex or Fitz will get whacked in the head."

Everyone but Tam laughs and Alvar voices out loud, "The fury of Grady Ruewen, I'd like to see that." Tam elbows Alvar, "So what's going to happen when everyone finds out that you're not prego?" I smile and reveal my plan, "When my parents realize that they wrongly accused me, they are going to feel oh so bad and I can take advantage of that. They'll do basically whatever I want and will give me more privileges than I had before. It's all because they want to be grandparents and they couldn't because Jolie...died, you should have seen how they rushed to the idea that I was pregnant."

My friends seem to process what I said, "That's actually not a half bad idea." Says Ezra, best cousin ever. "Okay, let's get back on topic though. How is it possible that all of you forgot who I was or where as in Tam's case, I was replaced by another person." Fintan--dad--sighs and takes in a deeper breath, "There's something you need to know about your heritage." I wait for him to continue, but Raine does it for him.

"You're a hybrid, you are both witch and elf." I-I what? "Your mother, a witch and your father an elf. I'm a purebred witch, Ezra is a hybrid--as was Umber, your uncle is a pureblood like me." I feel like I'm in Harry Potter, "And what, hybrids are discriminated against? We're mudbloods. What kind of Harry Potter bull crap is this?" Trix cracks a smile, "I know right." I was startled, I forgot he was there, that is going to take some getting used to.
