✨Elysian✨ Book 10 KOTLC

Chapter 5

Sophie POV:

         "Ok, so, when you saw me with that what I assume was a mischievous grin... Yeah, that was fake." Dex said, sparing no mercy for my superkind self. "I still have NO idea what earpieses are." I facepalmed. "I guess I'm going to have to show you then." I sighed. Keefe made me exercise with him and my legs were hurting like heck. "Wahoo! Light trip!" (A/N get it? Not road trip, light trip, because elves light leap.)

Dex POV:

           All lingering nervousness that I had vanished when Sophie suggested a trip to the forbidden cities. Humans are sooo coolll! I got up and sprawled out on Sophie's huge canopied bed, inhaling the scent of the flowers on her carpet. Don't laugh at me, but sometimes I wish Sophie's room was mine... Uh... Minus all the pink of course! No boys like pink, heh... Ok, maybe I like the color a bit... I mean, it's okayy. I'm just not going to talk about this anymore.

             Anyway, Sophie came out of the bathroom where she was asking Keefe (with her imparter) if he can steal his father's pathfinder to the forbidden cities. "He said yes." Sophie remarked, strolling out of the bathroom, looking as if she regretted suggesting this trip. What am I saying? Of course she does! She will even more when I'm done with her. To give her a warning for what's to come, I tried at another mischievous smirk. Sophie just raised her eyebrows, looking bored.

         Fifteen minutes later, Keefe glittered into view in the Havenfield pastures, another pathfinder around his neck. I spotted him first, calling Sophie over. "Hmm?" Sophie asked when she made it over to me. I pointed to the window where Keefe was waving, apparently have seen me. "Oh," Sophie murmured turning to the door, still acting pessimistic. I watched Sophie walk across the lawn, waving to Keefe, before pecking him on the forehead, realizing what she did, and turning carmine red. Keefe just smirked at her, and kissed her smack on the lips.

           It wasn't supposed to be possible to turn a shade of red darker than carmine red, but Sophie Foster always makes the impossible possible. After a minute of watching Keefe trying to get Sophie's soul back in her body, she finally responded by taking the pathfinder from his hand and staring at him, dumbfounded by his previous actions. Her soul seemed to have left her body again because I doubt she realized he left. I sighed, feeling like the mature one now.

           I stomped down the stairs to be met with a pair of eyes, looking at me with confusion. "Leaving already?" Grady questioned. I usually stayed for more than an hour, I had only been here for 30 minutes. "No, just looking for Sophie." I replied, already heading out the door.

          I found Sophie in the same place she was before, standing in the grass, the sun shining on her, surrounded by all the animals making ruckus. I silently cursed myself for my lingering crush on Sophie. Focus Dex, you're here for advice on asking Biana out. Not hitting on Sophie. I strolled over to her, pushing those thoughts away. "Sophie?" I called once reaching her. She moved her hands up to her lips, lightly brushing her fingers against them. "I-.. He-... Me-" she stuttered. "C'mon," I said, "let's go." I put my hand on her shoulder, her still in a daze, and we started walking. Walking to fulfill some crazy unnecessary plan to get Biana to go out with me. I couldn't wait.

Sorry I haven't been writing much! As you know, Christmas is near and there's lots of preparing to do! Also, my friends are spending Christmas with us and I haven't seen them in two years, so I will be slow in updating. This is sort of a filler chapter, so I hope you enjoyed it.😁

Question: Favorite member of the Black swan collective? Mine is Squall. I'm pretty sure she's the only girl on the collective so... Girl power!

Another thing before you leave, I got a stylus as an early Christmas present, so you might get some illustrations!

I really hope you enjoyed! It would be awesome if you could click the little star, or add this to your reading list. Thanks! Bye guys!
