The Phoenix

Chapter 2

Keefe's P.O.V.

(UNEDITED😈😈😈)

I stumbled into my room trying to avoid Daddy Dearest and met Ro in my room with an amused smile on her face.

"So, did you go and see a Fitzphie moment? Honestly, you should just confess to her already!" Ro said.

"Ro, I need to be patient. Sophie likes Fitz and they're dating now. I can't just confuse her," I countered. But I couldn't help thinking back to Y/N, normally chestnut brown eyes with gold flecks would fill my mind, but now gold eyes with orange flecks always got in the way. The moment both of us had shared had to mean something! Y/N used the same coping mechanism as me. She used humour. With Foxfire out, I've really been looking through my memories and can't find a single one. Sophie had tried to help me, but nothing happens unless she has Fitz with her. I don't think I can stand another day where Foster and Fitz look into each other's eyes. I sprawl across my bed taking my shirt off grabbing Mrs. Stinkbottom. I hear a knock at the door.

"Back to nag me already? You seriously need to get yourself a hobby. I hear spelunking's fun. Oooh, or you could try swimming with krackens! I doubt  they'd eat you- but maybe we'll get lucky!"

Until I see Foster and Y/N open the door to. I jerked up,

"Foster? Y/N?" I realized my shirt must be off so I cross my arms from chest. I feel a bit of heat crawl to my cheeks until I face the two girls or should I say sisters.

"I...um... what are you guys doing here?" Ro snickered in the corner,

"Smooth Lord Hunkyhair. Smoooooooooooooooth." I got up from my spot and started to scrounge for the shirt I was previously wearing.

"Here," Ro threw me a black wrinkled tunic.

"Bet you girls are wishing it didn't smell like sweaty boy in here, huh? Also, who's the girl with gold eyes Hunkyhair?" I ignored Ro's question.

"It's fine," Y/N replied. I really didn't expect her to see me without a shirt on so early and I noticed her looking at the scar I received from King Dimitar.

"Let this be a lesson to you," Daddy Dearest said as I tried to to tug the black tunic over my head. "You should always keep your room-and yourself- at your best since you'll never know when to make an impression," I glanced over to Foster frowning and Y/N looking enraged.

"Who even asked for your opinion Lord Snobbypants? Yeah, that's right, no one. So you can scram!" Y/N said. I have to admit, she ate that up, and the look on my dad's face was priceless. I am going to forever remember that face until he changes it up to his oily and calm demeanour. My dad ignored Y/N and cleared his throat.

" Well, my son may like to pretend he's above everything. But I hope you won't hold his laziness against him, Miss Foster and-" He stopped just to put a disgusted face as he said Y/N last name.

"Miss. L/N. Or his sloppiness. I know how much he values Miss. Foster's friendship," Y/N was ready to burst at this point and I saw electricity start to spark her hands so I cut in.

"Keep it up Dad, Foster and Y/N are going to get jealous about all the sweet things you say about me. Not everyone gets to be so lucky after all!"

"You are lucky, more than you know," He informed me. I rolled my eyes.

"Yep, everyone wishes they had my family. And, uh, you can go now,"

"Oh I can, can I. Perhaps I should stay. We all know the princess rarely serves as a proper chaperone,"

"It's going to be a long day," Gigantor said, rubbing the middle of his forehead.

"It is, and I think I've endured all I can manage. But I expect to be informed, I am a member of the Blackswan after all," When my dad joined to Blackswan it made me so furious. Another way he could just ruin my life and try to make his reputation better. Not that it's already ruined with me running off to the Neverseen and my mom being part of it.
