The shadow in the stars

Chapter 5 ( Biana's Pov)

We were receiving our beads to find the school the next day, I had already got mine and was waiting on Dex and Fitz to get theirs. Breia and her friends were nowhere to be seen now, even though I searched everywhere. I felt happy, sad, and a bit of shame at seeing her again. I had completely forgotten Breia was banished and went here. She was like a sister to me always there to defend me at school when I had arrived at level 1 and would hang out with me when my brothers were busy. It had felt so good to hug her again, I wish that moment could have lasted forever... "Biana!" A voice called out, snapping me out of my trance. It was Sophie, she looked at me a bit worriedly. "Are you ok? Did that girl do something, if so I'll kick he-" I cut her off "I'm fine, really. As I said all she did was ask a few questions about our brother, she knew him when she went to Foxfire" that was the story me and Fitz came up with to respect Breia's wishes. Just then Dex and Fitz walked over. "Got our beads" Dex grinned triumphantly, holding them up. Fitz walked closer to me and gave my hand a quick squeeze. "we should head to the meeting spot now don't you think" he said. We all nodded in agreement. Sophie pulled the crystal out of her pocket and held it up to the light as we faded away.

Before I knew it we were back in Alluveterre. We were sitting talking about what our next moves are when mister forkle walked in. "Would you all care to tell me what happened?' he asked sternly. Dex, Sophie, and Keefe all started talking over each other. Me and Fitz sat in silence we both knew if we said our story mister forkle would definitely see through it and pry the real thing out. "Sophie why don't you explain" mister forkle said sternly. "Of course you picked foster" Keefe mumbled. Sophie glared at him before explaining everything with Keefe and Dex jumping in with other details. Then they got to the part about me and Fitz talking to breia. Mister forkle turned to us. "Is that really all she said, did you recognize her, could I check your memories just to confr-" "NO!" Fitz replied a little to quickly. I elbowed him for the slip "what Fitz means is that, yes that is all she said. No we didn't recognize her, and no we both feel uncomfortable letting you view that memory because she was asking stuff about our brother we don't want others knowing" I said calmly, Fitz nodded beside me, he still looked at bit scared. I elbowed him again. "Ow!" He grumbled. Mister Forkle looked at us suspiciously. "If your hiding something I will find out eventually but for now I will respect your wishes" he transmitted. Me and Fitz flinched a little bit the other weren't paying enough attention to notice. "Well it's getting late" mister forkle said out loud "you should all head to bed" no one complained, it had been a long day and we were all tired. So the boys and girls headed to their separate rooms to try and get some sleep before the exhausting next day.

Hey guys sorry for the short chapter.
this chapter is a little weird so I'll probably keep updating it every now and again and I'm going to try speed the story along a bit more because I don't really want to lose your attention. Please comment if I've done anything wrong.
