27 times. That's how many times someone has asked me if I'm okay in the past 2 hours. Right when I bursted in through the doors of the healing center, Elwin got to work on Keefe. The only thing he could see in his cells is a transformation happening. Before we could discuss anything else, he forced me to endure one of his checkups. I'm fine! We should be worrying about Keefe. 

"When is he going to wake up?" I ask Elwin.

He scratches his head. "Well I put him under a sedative right now so we won't see anything for the next 24 hours. After that, it's up to Keefe. If what you said is true, then he is developing a new ability, which explains his cells. He just has to pull through. I suggest you transmit to him though, see if you can see anything telepathically since my orbs won't catch that," Elwin says.

"But before you do any of that, you need to rest. I'm not saying you have to go home, I'm well aware of your stubbornness by now," he says when he notices me opening my mouth to argue.

"I can make a cot right next to Keefe, that way before you go to sleep you can monitor his dreams," Elwin says taking a seat next to me.

"I'm scared," I admit.

I was so helpless. It happened right in front of me and I couldn't do anything. I know I'm not supposed to guilt over this because elves have a low tolerance for guilt. But because of me, Keefe is in this mess.

"You know Sophie, I've never been the one for pep talks," Elwin begins, "but we all know how Keefe is. He would never let his mom get her way. He's probably the most stubborn person I've met, other than you of course. The only thing we can do is hope. Hope Keefe will pull through. And from his track record, I believe he can."

"Trust me, Lord Hunkyhair isn't done fighting yet. Also he still needs to go through that punishment from me. There's no way you're getting out of this pretty boy," Ro says directing it mostly to Keefe's unconscious body.

"I already hailed Grady and Edaline to let them know you're going to stay here. They said they would bring some necessities," Elwin says tapping me on the back before walking away to his lab.

"You know, Blondie, Keefe's gonna wake up," Ro says spinning her daggers around.

"How do you know that?" I ask her wishing for that confidence.

"I just do. Now go get your beauty sleep, I'll stand guard," she says.

"Hey Ro?" I say before she walks out the door.

She turns around.

 "I really hope you're right."

These past two weeks, I've been waking up bright and early. All of our friends came to see Keefe, except Fitz. I guess things are still as shaky as we left them. Fits and I... broke up? We never really had the conversation saying we were even together. We both kinda just went along with it. I'm glad I have stuff to distract me right now. I can't deal with the fact that our friendship may have...

"Earth to Sophie," Bianca says waving her hand in front of my face as I immediately snap out of my daze.

"Sorry, what were you saying?" I say focusing again. She has Dex by her side.

"We were asking how you guys were doing. I know things have been hard for you because of Keefe, but if you need anything, I'll be here," Biana says giving me a hug.

"Me too!" Dex says joining in the hug.

"Thanks guys, but I'm afraid there's not much we can do. Elwin took a look and said that it's pretty much up to Keefe. He's manifesting right now. The only thing I can do is transmit to him, hoping he can hear me," I say grabbing his hand.

'Please Keefe. Fight through this. Wake up! I'm right here with you, always' I transmit to him.

Dex and Biana both grab a hold of my hands.

"We just wanted you to know we are both here for you, all of us are. Tam and Linh, Marella, Maruca, Team Valient, our parents, Fitz too," Biana says giving me a look with the last name she listed.

"I know, thank you guys," I say hugging them both one more time before they leave. 

That leaves Keefe and I alone. Elwin went to Slurps and Burps to get a couple of stuff. Tears start falling down my face.

"Keefe, I don't know if you can hear me," I say starting to talk to his asleep body, "I miss you Keefe. We all do. And I'm so sorry, I should've saved you from this. I should've tried harder to keep you away. Next time this won't happen. Next time you'll be safe," I say wiping the tears off my cheeks. 

I feel something twitch. I look down and see his hand move slightly. I look back at his face in awe, but see it still as before. His hand slowly moves to my hand. I grab a hold of his. I look back up at his face and see his lips curl a little. I can't tell if it's my imagination or not. But I lay down on my cot, not letting go of his hand once, and open my mind monitoring his dreams. I fall asleep with his dreams of Alicorns and sparkly poop on my mind.
