Don't. You. Dare.

Chapter 4

A/N Hi guys, I feel really bad about not updating for ages, so I decided to do two chapters in one day :). 

On a side note, did you guys watch the 2021 Grand Final? My dad is a big Bulldogs supporter so we were pretty disappointed with the result, but we did predict that Melbourne would win :(.

Have fun and enjoy! 

Sophie flopped down onto her bed, no tears left to cry. She rolled over, looking at the roof and- hold on! Something was poking uncomfortably at Sophie's side. 

Picking it up, she saw it was a note. Small, neat handwriting was printed across the paper and Sophie squinted uneasily at it. 

hey foster

come meet me in the cave near the wanderling woods

ill be there

Foster? Sophie's heartrate quickened and she sat up straight. Only one person called her "foster".

She raced down to the Leapmaster. She didn't care if it was a trap. If there was even the slightest chance she could see Keefe again, she would take it. 

If it was a trap...they would pay.

"The Wanderling Woods!" Sophie yelled, and she noticed her voice was slightly croaky. Oh well, she thought, I'm going to see Keefe again!

Stepping into the light, Sophie's heart filled with hope for the first time in what seemed like forever. She raced through the trees, through the dark, constantly tripping over loose branches but finding the strength to pull herself up again and carry on.

 Adrenaline had her feet flying across the ground and the wind whipped against her cheeks turning them a rosy colour they hadn't been for a while. 

Sophie allowed herself to stop for a second. She panted heavily and her hair fell across her eyes. Only now did she realise how cold it was...

Sophie looked up and saw a giant, rocky cave across from her tree, and the moonlight shone a path to its entrance as if it was expecting her. Her heart sparking, she raced up to see the back of a shadowy cloaked figure staring at the entrance of the cave. 

"Keefe?"
