No longer the Moonlark.....

Chapter 10

THE ART MAKES MORE SENSE LATER I PROMISE!

"That was weird," Paige mumbled, but still played the rest of the night, then she headed back home. 

Once she got home, she dumped out the tips from her violin and began counting. She ended up making $61. "That's good!" she said to herself, before putting the money in her old shoe box, before getting ready for bed.

Her dreams were bizarre, with "friends" she had never seen before, people who were supposed to be her parents and a black swan.  But she didn't let it bother her, she just woke up earlier and decided to learn new songs for her performances.

"Did you find her?" Grady asked when Mr. Forkle, Keefe, and Fitz walked into Havenfield. "Yes," Mr. Forkle said, leading to a sigh of relief from Grady and Edaline, "But her memories have definitely been wiped." That led to sighs of frustration. "And Fitz here," Keefe said, elbowing Fitz in the ribs, "slipped on a line." Fitz elbowed him back, "I didn't mean to say her name, but then said she heard that name before, something along the lines of "Sophie Foster", and "Moonlark", it was odd." "So," Mr. Forkle interrupted, "we think that before they washed her memories she somehow kept saying it or thinking it, so she somehow remembers it." "So now what?" Keefe asked, pacing. "We bring her memories back, somehow." Mr. Forkle said, before leaving Havenfield.

"Honey!" Paige's dad called from downstairs, "Your aunt and uncle are here!" 'Coming!" Paige called, running down the stairs, but almost falling on her face on the last step. Luckily her aunt and uncle didn't see. Aunt Gisela and Uncle Gethen came to visit once a month, and always brought snacks from around the world. 

"Hi Paige!" Uncle Gethen (I'm dying rn help) said, rumpling Paige's hair. "Hi!" Paige said, running to hug Aunt Gisela. Amila came running like the flash into Uncle Gethen's arms. "Hi!" she said, holding onto Uncle Gethen like a monkey, while he was trying to get her off. 

"Are you guys hungry?"  Aunt Gisela asked, taking out things from her big bag. Paige and Amila cheered, and she took out a box of Pocky. "This is from Japan," she said, "you can also get it here, but they have crazy flavours in Japan!" She pulled out 2 more. The flavours were strawberry, cookies and cream, and mango. "Wow!" Paige and Amira said, grabbing the boxes. "Thank you!!" Aunt Gisela and Uncle Gethen smiled at each other, before calling Paige into the other room. 

"Did you like the snacks?" Uncle Gethen asked, and Paige nodded. Then Aunt Gisela came into the room, asking how her performances were going and if anything strange had been happening. Paige said no, because they didn't need to know. 

"Well, if you ever need anything call us!" Uncle Gethen said as the 2 were leaving that night. "Okay, thank you!!!" Paige said, hugging them both before they left.

"Fitz, Keefe, are you ready?" Alden's deep accented voice filled the large home of the Vackers, Everglen. "Yep!" Keefe said, running down the large staircase, "Operation get Foster back is a go!" Fitz nodded behind him, but seemed reluctant. "It's gonna be fine, Fitz" Alden reassured Fitz, "Just remember the plan." "Enough chitter chatter lets go!" Keefe said, grabbing Fitz's hand and holding up his crystal to the light, and then they were gone. 

Once they made it to Chicago, Keefe took out his gold notebook, but still making sure no one saw the other pages, before opening a page with writing on it.

"Operation get Foster back:

Step 1: go to her house (Fitz has the address)

Step 2: pretend to sell something to get let inside

Step 3: drug family (but not foster)

Step 4: tell foster she's been in the wrong place and they aren't her real parents and we will take her to them (hopefully that works) 

Step 4 (plan B): if that doesn't work we drug her too (hopefully we don't have to tho)

Step 5: bring her to forkle"

"You good, Fitz?" Keefe asked Fitz after closing his notebook. Fitz nodded, "Just a lot of thoughts to block," Fitz mumbled, rubbing his temples. "Okay then!" Keefe said, clapping his hands, "To Foster's house!"

"You sure this is the place?" Keefe asked, looking at the small brown house. "Yep!" Fitz replied, walking up to the door and knocking. After a few seconds, a familiar girl with blond medium length hair and big brown eyes opened the door. "Hi, can I help you?" Sophie/Paige said, eyes widening when she must have recognized Keefe and Fitz from a few days ago. "Hi there! We're here to offer a better phone plan for your parents, are they home?" Keefe asked. Sophie/Paige looked reluctant for a second before responding, "Yea, let me get them. Just one sec!" she said, before running back into the house. After about a minute, a woman opened the door, "Hi my daughter was saying you were offering a better phone plan?" Fitz nodded, "Yep! Is it okay if we come in to discuss this, its pretty hot out." "Yes no problem," she replied, letting them come inside. 

The house was much bigger on the inside, with a large couch to sit on. Fitz and Keefe sat on the couch while Sophie/Paige and the woman sat on the 2 chairs opposite to them. "So we wanna help you guys out with your phone plan!" Fitz said, "But by anychance is your husband here as well?" The woman nodded, and called her husband, who stood by the wall. Fitz and Keefe kept a good conversation until Amira came down and started fighting with Sophie/Paige. 

"WHERE DID YOU PUT MY BOOK?" Amira yelled at Paige/Sophie, and Sophie scoffed, "Why do you think I want your dirty book?". They fought for a decent 30 seconds before Keefe cleared his throat. "Paige, by any chance, can you show me where the washroom is?" Keefe asked, Sophie/Paige nodded, standing up (but still quickly sticking her tongue at her sister) and walking with him to show him where the bathroom was. Keefe gave the "NOW!" look, as he walked into the next room. 

Fitz POV: (ugh)

Oh man. I don't wanna do this. I thought, like who wants to drug an innocent family? But I grabbed the small circle from my pocket and continued to talk about a good cell plan (whatever that was). And then once they were distracted, I held my breath and broke the disk and threw it into the middle of the living room, and then ran into the same hallway Keefe and Sophie were. 

Sophie and Keefe were walking back from the washroom when Sophie noticed her family on the floor, covered in a green bubble thing. Keefe stood in front of her, holding her shoulders to keep her steady. (IM STARTING THE SOKEEFE SHIP NOW BC I DONT CARE LMAO) "Listen, Fos- erm Paige, we have something to tell you." Keefe started, looking at me to keep going. I bit my lip for a second before continuing, "That isn't your real family." Fitz said. Sophie/Paige looked like she wanted to slap him, "So that's why you drugged them?" Sophie/Paige asked. "Well, ummm, you're not human, Sophie" Fitz said, almost a whisper. "Wait, did you say Sophie? As in Sophie Foster, who's the Moonlark?" Sophie/Paige asked, wide eyed. "Yea, that's you." Keefe said, "And we're here to take you back home." he continued, as she passed out.
