Forever

Chapter 13: Sophie (again!)

well.

that pretty much sucked. 

where's Keefe when u need someone's shoulder to cry on?

since Keefe wasn't here at the moment [a fact i still needed to figure out.] i settled for hailing Edaline and crying for hours. 

when my tears had finally subsided, i had a monster of a headache. like- literally! it felt like my old echoes woke up! i clutched my head and wailed. Elwin snapped up and immeditatly started flicking colored lights around my head. i thrashed and screamed, and the world faded to a dim black.

i was still conscious, but i was stuck in a- daydream? i couldn't see or hear anything. it was as if something had held me still... like a... sedative. Elwin must have given me a numbing elixir!! the world started to grow brighter, and i could feel warm arms wrapped around me. i blinked a few times, and realized Edaline was hugging me. Elwin sat in his chair, looking exhausted. 

"what was that Sophie?" he asked as i ate a few bites of the butterblast Edaline conjured up. 

"i- i don't know. it was like the monster woke up and i couldn't do anything. it was bad Elwin. really, really bad." Sophie responded.

his eyes widened with recognition at what i was saying. "im going to hail Tam and Lady Zillah to see if they can figure this out okay?" he said, concern lacing his words.

"thanks" she said.

he took out his imparter and mumbled a few words into it. he nodded and spoke a feww more words. then he repeated the procedure. 

"okay, they should be here soon Sophie. think you can choke down some painkillers?" he asked.

"i think so" she replied, her hand stretching out to grab the vial he held. she uncorked it and saw the goop inside was a aquamarine color. she tipped the vial down and swallowed the goop. she smiled, thinking it tasted exactly like a sourpatch kid.

"okay we got here as fast as we could.' two voices said in unison as Tam and Lady Zillah w alked into the room.  Lady Zillah immediately walked to Sophie's side, waving her hand over Sophie's head. she gasped and drew her hand back.

"something wrong?" Edaline asked.

"yes. something is terribly wrong. i can only feel a small amount of the shadowflux. and i sense there is much more but, the amount i can feel is such a great quantity. i can't believe the neverseen have found such a powerful shade! anyways-" she took both of Sophie's hands and continued. "Sophie. the Neversee are trying to kill you from the inside out. and i believe they are succeeding. Sophie Foster, you are going to die." 

Alden walked in to here the last words and stopped where he was. he gasped. then he looked at the floor and said 'friends, there is absolutely a reason to worry."

HA! take that suckers!!!!

sorry, my inner clarisse came out lol. how'd ya like the ending? i thought it was fun to write! lol, i've always wanted to make Alden say that!!!!!

anyways, stay sweet and i'll keep writing!
