Lost and Found

Attention

Hey guys! I'm back. I'm sorry I was inactive. I wasn't allowed on my computer and I was at a Raptors game. (!!!!!). 

Presenting the chapter.

Sophie

The days passed by in a haze. People were changing, especially Grady and Edaline. They grew distant, paying barely any attention to Sophie and her life. For the first two weeks, she didn't blame them, but it has been almost a month. Sophie has been trying to give them space but it still hurts. She's at the Vackers' house more than her own. 

Jolie was taking on the big sister role and she was very good at it. She was nice, caring, and respectful. 

The Council is trying to convince Kenric to come back in replace of Alina. But Kenric is trying to convince Oralie to step down but she said she needs to be there. When Sophie heard that, she rolled her eyes.  It was obvious Oralie wanted to stay to help Sophie.

Today, the Council called a meeting for Team Valiant, meaning Sophie had to dress up. The meeting was at 4 o'clock so Sophie had time to do something. She decided she would try doing a trick with Silveny.

She was starting to get up when Jolie came running through the door. 

"Why didn't you tell me you were in the NOBILITY!" She yelled.

Oops

"It just never came up," Sophie mumbled.

"It never came up! I'm going to kill you!" Jolie yelled even louder.

"Sophie! Stop the yelling!" Grady shouted from downstairs.

Sophie was used to this. Since Jolie came back, every bad thing that happened in this house was her fault. When the verminion got out of the cage, it was Sophie's fault, when Edaline spilled her food, it was Sophie's fault. She was so sick of it that she took out her leaping crystal to the Shores of Solace and left without saying anything.

Keefe

Keefe was having the best day of his life. First, he had a nice talk with Lord Jerkpants, then Oralie visited him and talked about keeping the information about her being Sophie's mother a secret, and finally, he hasn't seen Foster today.

On cue, Sophie burst through the door with tears in her eyes. She collapsed into Keefe's bed, the pillow muffling her sobs.

Keefe cautiously laid down on the bed and rubbed her back. "What's wrong?"

"Edaline and Grady." She said in between sobs.

"What did they do?" He said gently.

"They hate me!" She cried.

Keefe was stunned by this. No way Grady and Edaline hated Sophie.

"They do not." His voice was growing sharper by the second. "Why would you say that?"

"They blame me for everything. They barely talk to me. I have to spend all my time at the Vackers because Havenfield is a terrible place for me right now."

Keefe got up and Sophie whimpered, clearly missing his warmth.

"I'm going to go talk with them."

Sophie jumped up so fast. "You can't do that."

He was confused. "Why not?"

"They're just going to get madder."

"I don't think so. They love you." At least Keefe hoped so. He didn't want Grady and Edaline to forget about her now that Jolie was back. "Just wait here. I'll be quick."

She didn't object so Keefe took that as a good sign. He took Sophie's leaping crystal and held it up to the light.

When he arrived, Silveny took first notice to him. She blasted him with a bunch of Keefe! Keefe! Keefe! Usually, he would go over and cuddle with the alicorns but today he didn't. 

Before he could knock on the door, it opened, and standing there was Jolie.

"Keefe? She looked behind him, "Where's Sophie?"

"She's not here." Keefe pushed past Jolie and ran into the living room.

"Where is she?"

"Why do you need to know?" He snapped.

Jolie put her hands up, showing surrender. "I was talking to her, then Grady yelled at her, and then she left."

"Good." He mumbled.

"What?"

"Nothing. Where's Grady and Edaline?" He asked.

"Right here." A voice said from the doorway.
