Hi guys I will be updating whenever I want so please don't pester me for not updating in 2 weeks bc Yk it's my book so I can update whenever I want (unless it's been 2 months that's when u say "Sienna stop being lazy and update!" Edit: please don't, it's hard getting inspo) btw this idea is not mine it's based off another story and I can find it in one of my reading lists. Btw I have started editing so if it's edited it will have a tick on a chapter called 'Yo'

"For the murder of Stina Heks, Sophie Elizabeth Foster is hereby banished from the Lost Cities and will be kept in Exile for 200 years!" Councillor Emery announced calling forward cheers and shouts of protest.

No! This can't be happening I didn't do anything! A few days ago someone had murdered Stina Heks, member of Team Valiant, with a shamkniv. I looked over at Visa and Timkin. The former was sobbing silently into her husbands shoulder, her usually confident dementor had shifted to one of a grief-stricken mother without a child. The latter however stood tall with no remorse. It was probably him the council pleasing buffoon.

What I don't get is where on earth would I get a shamkniv it's an ogre weapon that only King Dimitar has. You're thinking 'Then why are you getting blamed?' It's because my shit-ass 'friends' showed the council the shamkniv which somehow had my DNA on the hilt. I thought they'd trust me but I guess not. It doesn't help that I had just burned down the Neverseen's store house a few days prior

"FOSTER WOULDN'T MURDER ANYBODY AND EVEN IF SHE DID IT WOULD BE THE NEVERSEEN!" Keefe yelled. Well one person believes me. "ENOUGH! Miss Foster you have 1 hour before armed goblins come to take you away!" Councillor Alina shot back gleefully.

My legs ran me outside and I quickly held up my home crystal. I glittered into view just in front of Havenfield, my soon-to-be former home. I quickly packed my old, tatty purple backpack that was used whenever I ran away and filled it with money, clothes, a blanket, imp food and finally, I lifted Iggy onto my shoulder.

My home crystal was ripped from my neck by my hand and I cut off my registry pendant before grabbing a knife from the kitchen. Why did I make her sound so evil? Soon my Moonlark logo was carved onto my carpet. She felt the blade cleanly slicing through the material. Sophie placed al a note next to it that said:

Hello friends and family, I love you all so much even if you think I did murder Stina and I will say it now. I. Did. Not. Murder. Stina. Heks. If you don't believe me fine I don't care I'll never see any of you ever again.

From, The Moonlark.

I thought I would cry but I didn't

I thought I would cry but I didn't. I guess The Moonlark has matured. The girl had doubted Ro when she said she had a new attitude but she was right. She quickly grabbed her spy ball after remembering it. Might be useful to check up on them. Runnung down the stairs she cursed. 'Grady and Edaline are home!'

"WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING!?" he yelled, shaking slightly. "I'm sorry, I didn't murder Stina and I'm leaving!" I told them, glaring fiercely. Edaline flinched. "GOOD I DIDN'T ADOPT YOU FOR ALL THIS EXTRA TROUBLE AND STRESS YOUR GIVING US!" He bellowed, shattering my already broken heart into smaller shards.

"Nice to know how you thought about me. Good riddance!" I said before leaping in a manner surprisingly graceful out my window. Edaline screamed before realising how idiotic she was.

WE CAN LEVITATE IDIOT! I floated till clouds and stars was all that surrounded me. Sophie's  concentration slipped, sending her into the empty void. She thought of one of the most famous cities in America.

New York City...

Edit: It was such a pile of shit idk how I wrote it. Still is ngl.
