Chapter 6: Poor Keefe

Sophie crept a tiny bit closer and saw is eyes red on the corner, then she saw 2 more tears fall down. She ran over to his side, and as soon as she did, he turned to look at her, and his eyes widened. She slowly sat down on his left side as he shoved his face in the pillow laying on his lap. Sophie turned her waist to face Keefe and rested her right arm on the bed. She took her left hand and softly layed it over Keefe's clenched left hand. He clenched on tighter to the pillow. She almost said something, but right before she was about to, she heard a door open and close. She realized Keefe's door was still open, and in her thought process Fitz peered in to see them sitting there. He ran over to see what was going on,candy found Keefe crying. He sat on the right of Fitz and asked what happened. "I-I don't know, I came in here and he was looking up at the- THE WALL!" She suddenly realized. Her and Gitz immediately looked up to the wall. There was nothing but the same animal that was on the mattress's sheets. "Oh..." Fitz sighed. "What, what is it?" Sophie asked immediately. "Well, Keefe use to have one of these... As a pet, but it, it died." Fitz told her. Keefe squeezed the pillow even tighter, then he finally let go of it and it dropped down to his lap again.

His face was moist with tears and his eyes were red all over. "It's *sobs* not only *sigh* that..." Keefe let out balling. "what else, is it then?" Sophie asked Keefe. "Before my Hermady d-" Keefe managed to say before being interrupted by Sophie, "What is a Hermady?" Fitz looked up at the wall, "It's an Imp" Sophie gave a weird look, "That creature on the wall is an Imp?" Fitz rolled his eyes, "Yes, it is an Imp, you don't have a Hermady Imp, so it looks different, but they have basically the same features." Fitz explained. Keefe let out more tears, "Yeah, that... Anyway, before he died, was when my parents... Actually cared for me, when my dad actually," Keefe said before letting out more sobs and tears, "was when my dad actually felt, he used to play and interact with everyone in the house, but after that, nothing was the same. After that, I'm assuming is when my mom, well when she became who she is now. She used to be better... So did my dad, but now all he cares about is making me like him, he used to understand. My mom used to mess my hair up, that's why I always have my hair messed up, because it reminds me of the good days, when my parents loved me..." Sophie didn't know how to react, his dad actually was playful with an animal? Was the first question that came into her head. His mom used to mess up his HAIR?? She really didn't believe it, but all she new was that it was really sad.

She couldn't support him by saying well your mom does love you, after what she did not that long ago... So she decided with, "Well, Keefe, things are going to change in life, imagine someone growing up in the human world with human parents, and then you meet one elf, and you Abe to leave the family you loved behind, never to see them again..." She sighed and then let out, "look at me now, I promise things will get better and easier," She said before Keefe screamed, "WELL I'M NOT YOU!" And clenched his pillow again, "I don't get a new family, my parents don't get replaced with people who love me now, I'm almost an adult, what's the point of going up for adoption, how would I even do that when I still have parents that are perfectly capable of raising me still?" He sighed, "I just- just wished my parents hadn't changed." Sophie felt hurt, but she understood his pain so she said, "at least you have friends that care for you right now, and everyone sees you as cool, everyone wants to be your friend." Keefe widened his eyes when he remembered she was always the kid who got picked on, the kid with no friends, someone who had secret powers that drove her crazy and she couldn't control them, "Sophie I'm- I'm sorry I-" Sophie stopped him, "it's fine Keefe, I have you guys now" Sophie confirmed him with a smile. Keefe wrapped his arms around her, and some tears shed on her clothes, but she didn't care. Keefe pulled off her, "thanks" he said, and she replied with, "anytime" and decided to go see what Dex was up to, she hadn't heard much of him today.
