Heat. Sophie opened her eyes and saw flames. She panicked and ran out of the room, screaming for Grady and Edaline. The fire chased her down the hall into the kitchen and out into Havenfields pastures. Slowly closing in on her and boxing her in.
Sophie bolted up in bed and looked at the window. It was light out, it was Saturday, finally. She took a deep breath realizing it was a nightmare. She stood up and changed before heading downstairs to find an old fat man she knew in the kitchen. Her neighbor Mr. Forkle.
"Hi, Sophie." He said
"Mr. Forkle? I don't understand," she said.
"That's ok, I never told you I was an Elf," he said
"Why did I have an elf as my neighbor for 12 years?" Sophie said as she sat down.
"To protect you until you were ready," he said.
"Protect me from what," Sophie said
"Uh- I can't tell you that," he said.
"Well then Mr. Forkle I have plans with friends so, goodbye." She said standing and heading to the leapmaster. "Candleshade!" she yelled stepping into the beam of light she leaped to Keefe's house.

Gisela was waiting for her when she got there. "Here to see my son?"
"Yeah what else?" Sophie asked flippantly, as she rolled her eyes.
"Well, your training-" Gisela began.
"Shut it, Gisela I'm here to see Keefe." she scoffed cutting her off. Gisela touched her finger to her chin tipping it up and forcing her to make eye contact.
"Maybe this time but next time, I wouldn't be so sure," Gisela said, as Sophie stepped around her and headed to find Keefe. Thankfully Gisela left her alone, and she found Keefe.
"Hey Keefe, do you wanna go to Atlantis with me?" she asked
"Sure, Foster, why?" Keefe asked raising an eyebrow at her.
Sophie smirked and looked at him, "You'll see." she said.
