Keeper of the Lost Cities Moonlark

Chapter Thirteen: Sophie

"Clarisna." Sophie said for what had to be the thousandth time.

"Sophie, please just let it go! I don't want to talk about it, it happened over a decade ago and there's nothing no one or anyone can do about it!" and with that she disappeared into a rain of glitter.

"Clarisna? Okay fine I won't talk about it! Can you come back? I need your help." Sophie yelled holding back tears. "I don't want to forget anyone important." she whispered letting one tear slip down her face.

Hours later Sophie had completely given up, at first she cried her heart out, then she took a nap, then finally she ended up jumping on the crack like a mad person.

"Moonlark! Please, stop I-" Clarisna pleaded, she glowed as she reappeared.

Sophie looked up and stopped jumping then, she started to talk fast "I'm sorry! I don't know I just was so curious and I wanted to know more because no one ever tells me anything and I didn't want to forget you so I thought I could at least know more about you and bring you into my life somehow." she finished.

After a long silence, Clarisna stepped forward and hugged her and they stayed like that for a long time. "Y'know, I think I can forgive you." she pulled away. "We have to get you out of here before you forget a certain someone." she said wriggly her eyebrows the same way Edaline does when she's talking about boys.

Sophie laughed "Okay, yeah I think I'm ready."

"Good, because I found a way for you to get out, you need to run at 2,000 miles per hour then dive into that opening and once you make it into the main part of your mind I can do the rest." she said with a smile.

"Wait, what? How am I supposed to run at 2,000 mph?"

"Must I always think of everything? Get it? I'm always in your mind? Ha?" after a short silence with no one laughing she cleared her throat "Anyways, you can just channel your strength into your legs, but I should warn you, right now you're currently in bed sleeping I'm guessing at Livvy's house and, um, you may vomit on her covers."

"Um, yeah let's hope that doesn't happen. Also, I guess this is a good bye."

"I'm sure we'll meet again, so it's more of a see you later I suppose." and they hugged for one last time.

"Alright. Time to get this over with." With that thought she ran as fast as she could into the mental crack and pushed through, squeezing and pulling and tearing. When she did one last pull she slipped through.
