Sophie's eyes fluttered open, still heavy with sleep. When her eyes finally refocused, she noticed Keefe was missing. She went tearing down the path "Keefe? Keefe?! KEEFE?!?!!" She yelled 𝐾𝑒𝑒𝑓𝑒?? 𝐾𝐸𝐸𝐹𝐸!! She transmitted. 𝑆𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑒...? His voice filled her head 𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢??! She slowed her pace

𝐼'𝑚 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒, 𝑤ℎ𝑦?

𝑂ℎ. 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔?

 𝑀𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑓𝑎𝑠𝑡?

𝑂ℎ. 𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑙, 𝐷𝑂𝑁𝑇 𝐷𝑂 𝑇𝐻𝐴𝑇 𝐴𝐺𝐴𝐼𝑁!! 𝑌𝑂𝑈 𝑆𝐶𝐴𝑅𝐸𝐷 𝑀𝐸 𝐻𝐴𝐿𝐹 𝑇𝑂 𝐷𝐸𝐴𝑇𝐻!!!

𝑅𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡. 𝑂𝑟 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑅𝑎𝑔𝑒. 𝐺𝑜𝑡 𝑖𝑡.

She wished there was a way to smack him with her brain. He probably noticed it too since he said, 𝑂𝑘𝑎𝑦, 𝐽𝑒𝑒𝑧. 𝐼'𝑚 𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑦...! 

𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑒. 𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑙𝑦, 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑑𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡.

 𝐼'𝑚 𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑦. 𝐼 𝑑𝑖𝑑𝑛'𝑡 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡𝑜 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡. 𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛, 𝑌𝑜𝑢'𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑀𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑀𝑖𝑠𝑠 𝐹. 𝑆𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢.

𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑙𝑦? Her annoyed tone must've been present since his reaction was priceless,  𝐼'𝑚 𝒌𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈!

𝐼 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤.

A twig snapped, and he must've sensed a shift in her emotions.  𝑆𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑒? 𝐴𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑜𝑘𝑎𝑦?

𝐻𝑢ℎ? 𝑂ℎ. 𝑈ℎ𝑚𝑚. 𝑌𝑒𝑎ℎ, 𝐼'𝑚 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑒 She knew she didn't sell the lie off, but she did it anyway.

Then, the shadows began to elongate, twisting into unnatural shapes. Then 4 figures stepped out from behind a tree. The cloyingly sweet scent of sedatives hit her nose. 𝐾𝐸𝐸𝐹𝐸! 𝑁𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸𝐸𝑁! 𝐾𝐼𝐷𝑁𝐴𝑃! 𝐻𝐸𝐿𝑃!! She transmitted to Keefe before the sedatives kicked in and the world went black.
