Sophie's POV

I quickly stood up from my chair and started to run out of the room but the room was huge, and Fitz was yelling and saying we needed to talk as he raced to catch up to me.

"Sophie! Sophie, please! I promise I won't be mad or yell at you! Please stop running!" He shouted. I kept running. After about two more seconds I couldn't take it anymore. I reached deep into my chest and pulled all of the hatred I could and shoved it out of my mind. I didn't want to inflict on him, but I didn't want him to keep following me either.

I heard him drop to the floor, And that's when I started crying. The tears were streaming down my face hard and fast as I sprinted through the door and up the stairs. I ran into my room and slammed the door behind me as I collapsed onto my bed. By now I was violently sobbing, and it must've been an hour before the fit calmed down. Fitz hadn't come into my room during that time, so he probably thought it was a good idea to leave me alone. It was. But it really didn't help my raging headache to sit up against the headboard. My eyes were red and puffy, and my hair was probably a mess. I had no idea what to do. Until I remembered I brought an imparter. I could call Keefe. He could fix this for me.

I grabbed my purple backpack and rummaged through the front pocket until I found the small silver square I needed. I quickly clicked on Keefe's name and waited for him to pick up.

Please pick up please pick up please pick up... I thought. Then his beautiful face filled the screen, and I sighed in relief.

"Foster? Why did you call me so early? Did you miss me too much?" He smirked, and I felt so relieved that I started crying again.

"Oh, Keefe. Yes, I did. But I broke me and Fitz's cognate bond, and I don't know what to do because he's probably going to get super mad at me and yell at me and say he-"

"Woah, woah, hey... it's okay, lets just slow down a little bit here. You broke your cognate bond?" he asked gently. I nodded. "Okay. Do you want me to come to Aluveterre to help?" I nodded again.

"You don't have to though. I could probably talk to him myself, and I might be able to convince him not to get mad if-"

"No way you're doing that. I'll come right now I promise. I just have to find Tiergan and ask for a leaping crystal." Keefe said.

"But he's already here at Aluveterre as Granite, probably watching us through cameras or something," I said.

"Okay, so... I'll find another way to get there. Actually, I have an idea. I'll call you again in a little bit, okay? Don't do anything without me." He said. Then he hung up. I was alone again.

I heard Fitz coming up the stairs, and I held my breath as I waited for him to pass my door to his room before I relaxed. I counted the seconds until I heard my imparter ring again, and it was about 1,004.

"What was taking you so long?" I asked Keefe.

"Sorry, I just had to find Dex. Now when I tell you, could you hit your panic switch?" he asked.

"Um, sure. But why are you with Dex? And why do I need to hit my panic switch?"

"You'll see. And 3... 2... 1... panic switch!" He said. I tapped the small beige stone set onto the lopsided ring on my middle finger. Then, 4 seconds later, Keefe and Dex appeared in my room.

"Oh my gosh, your here," I said with wide eyes. I jumped up and ran to tackle-hug Keefe, as Dex went around looking for something.

"Geez, try not to pick favorites." He mumbled. "I'm only the guy that got you here in the first place."
