BlackSwan Prophecy; KOTLC Fanfiction

Chapter 3: Secret Tunnels

They appeared in huge city with big buildings everywhere surrounding them. They however were in a small ally with many cute little shops. They look at the one sitting in front of them. Sophie studies the window, but it isn't the one of Blackswan, she looks around others aside it, none of them have the Blackswan symbol. Biana turns around and looks at the one right behind them. Suddenly she shouts out a hit too loud, "Here it is!" Sophie, Fitz, Keefe, and Dex all turn around. "Biana, Shush!" Sophie shouts in a whispery voice back to Biana. "Sorry..." Biana replies. Fitz opens the door, and they all walk inside. Inside lays a quaint coffee shop with comfy seating and small adorable and neat tables. They all walk up to the counter where a youngish man stands cleaning dishes. He is at least in his early 30's for human standards. "So, you kids need something?" The man says in a very familiar voice. Sophie then starts to think, "MR. FORKLE!!" She shouts at the top of her lungs. "Yes, that was my name being your neighbor, but that isn't my name, I think you should know it." Sophie was not expecting that, she should know it? She couldn't think of anything she would know him by, he never did mention ion his real name... Unless... She froze, then finally stuttered the name under her breath, "Pr.. Pre... Prentice???" All of her friends froze in realization.

He put away the dish he was cleaning, and set down the towel he had, "I would say you are wrong if I did not know you," He paused, "but I do know you, so I can not lie." He finished. Sophie didn't know what to say, or how to react to this. How could he be here, if he was sent to exile, and broken? "H-how?" She mumbled. Prentice just stood there, staring off into space. Then he finally made out the words, "Well, I was able to make you wasn't I? Just with a little bit of tweaking, and changing the formula, I was able to clone myself, except as a grown elf. As soon as that egg opened, well I guess I started to grow pretty fast, until I hit full grown. That's when it slowed down. I programmed this robot to, we'll be me, just with a hair sample, he was full of everything I felt, everything I saw, what I wanted. He would sacrifice himself knowing if was what he wanted to do, it was what I wanted to do, but I couldn't, I needed to do so much more, I needed to help you on this mission." Prentice finally finished.

Sophie thought for a minute, he said on this mission. Which meant, he did need her on this mission he was going on because he was explaining about needing to help me on this mission. "So what exactly is the mission?" Sophie managed to get through after a few minutes of thinking. "I am sorry Sophie, but even though you are right smack I t he middle of this mission, well it's classified and I can't tell you. However, we mustn't talk much more about this here, we get regular human customers come in." He said as a person came walking right in. "Hey, are you almost done ordering?" The woman asked them, "I am kind of in a hurry, sorry" she finished politely. "Oh um, no go ahead, we don't quite know what we want yet!" Answered Fitz. "Oh, thank you much!" She said as she walked up to the counter, ordered coffee drinks and walked out. "Sooo, what exactly is that stuff, it smells amazing" Keefe asked. "I'll tell you on the way" Prentice said as he locked the shop doors and changed the open sign to closed. Prentice walked over to a shelf behind the counter contained coffee supplies and pushing it to the right all the way, he pulled out a coffee bag form the shelf, and there lay a lever. Prentice switched the lever, and where the shelf just was, a door opened up. Inside lay a tunnel with a water current surrounding the path way. They walked in and looked up at the water. Sophie saw fish swimming every where, she looked down and saw a coral reef. The ocean. They were in the ocean.
