Chapter 1 - Sophie

Sophie woke to the delicious smell of Mallowmelt and a knock at the door. Sophie opened her eyes to be blinded by the light. Shoot she thought I forgot to close the blinds. Sophie glanced at the clock 9:47. Another knock at the door came this time in an obnoxious patter. Sophie grunts into her pillow "I am not getting up, I want and need sleep. Wake me up if the mallowmelt magically appears on my bed." She snuggles down deeper into the covers wrapping herself up like a burrito. Sophie had peace and quiet for around 13 seconds.

The door banged open, "Foster, I don't think that's how you should treat someone that just dragged their but up the stairs to deliver your mallowmelt" a voice said. Two figures had walked into the room. A boy with blonde hair and ice-blue eyes was stuffing a piece of mallowmelt into his mouth. Behind him trailed an orge with ombre grey hair in pigtails, who was funnily enough also stuffing food in her mouth.

Sophie sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Keefe, what are you doing here?" Sophie watches as Ro sits at her desk scoffing a handful of Rifflepuffs.

"You know Foster" Keefe places the tray on the edge of her bed. One lone piece of mallowmelt sat in the tray. Sophie's mouth watered. "if that's how you gonna act then maybe I should eat the last piece of mallowmelt" he mockingly reached towards the last piece, fully well knowing that Sophie wouldn't stand for it. She lunged forward snatching the piece. She takes a bite the buttery goodness filling her mouth.

"Can I ask again what you doing here?" Sophie asked, but her mouth was full of Mallowmelt so it sounded like " Ka I as agn wot yo oo-ing ere?" Ro snorted, clutched her throat then started choking.

"Oh No" Keefe sniggered "Death by Edalines home made Rifflepuffs" He feigned choking dramatically falling to his knees. Sophie laughed but hastily covers it up with a cough. Movement behind Keefe showed Sandor slapping his hand to his face.

Ro swallowed and breathed heavily for a minute "You....Are... So Dead!" Ro snarled emphasising every word. That just made Keefe laugh harder.

Keefe stopped laughing wiping a tear from his eye. "So Foster, what were you asking"

"What are you doing here?" Sophie asked again for like the third time.

Keefe raised an eyebrow "Well Foster that is quite the story" Keefe started "it all began when my parents met, they got married and-"

"NO" Sophie squeaked, her face bright red. "Like what are you doing at Havenfeild, in my room, with mallowmelt"

"Oohhhhh" Keefe sighed. "I was bunking at the Vacker's, cause you know Daddy issues" Sophie nodded, Lord Cassius Keefe's father wasn't the greatest of parents. Neither was his mother who funnily enough has plotted to destroy Sophie on multiple occasions. "So Alden told me to tell you that the council told him to tell that the council wants to see you, me, Dex, Edaline, Grady..." he trailed off as he counted on his fingers, "Oh and Forklenator" he finished.

Sophie stared at him blankly, "What?"

Keefe whistled "You're making me repeat that?" Keefe shaked his head. He opened his mouth to start again but Ro clamped her hand over his mouth.

"Funkyhair means to say that you and a bunch of other elves are to meet with the oh-so-high and mighty councillors, because of some reason that is unknown to us" Ro finished. Removing her hand from Keefe's face. "See so much simpler."

Keefe started gagging "What did you do" he gasped, picking up his cape and he started to frantically wipe his tongue on it.

"Ogre amoebas" Ro grinned, Keefe's face changed to even more disgust. "Pretty boy you're the one that chose to lick my hand." Sophie laughed clutching her stomach. Oh, how the day has started off. Keefe glared at her.

"I should go to Edaline and get some desserts to get rid of this horrid taste" Keefe makes a face and smirked as Sophie laughed. Keefe grabbed Ro's arm and dragged her out the door.

"Oh, the meeting is in an hour" Ro called and with that the door slams shut.

Sophie stared at the door then layed back down. Wondering what in all the Elvin world just happened.

She got up had a shower and got changed. According to Vertina, her clothes were 'presentable enough'. Sophie started brushing her hair, planning to just leave it out.

"I can help you do your hair nicely for that boy of yours" Vertina says looking at Sophie with an eyebrow raised.

Sophie sighs and places her hairbrush down on her desk. "He's not my boy, we're just friends"

"hmm hmm" Vertina hummed, she breaks out into a grin "You keep telling yourself that" and then she vanished.

Sophie sighed once again, this is gonna be a long day.
