Fitz walked down the corridors of the Elite levels, checking if students were out of bed or not, they used to wander in the lobby or in some dark places that will always scare people. He slowly walked towards where Sophie was, the old healing center.
Fitz knocked, slowly entering, Linh stood there, leaning against the wall. "Linh? Why are you here?" Fitz asked.
"Uh... I- I can't sleep, seriously, and I thought that having a small talk with Sophie might help, so..." Linh's voice trailed off.
Fitz sighed. "I know the pressure, almost killed everybody."
"Well, it seems like Sophie already went to sleep." Linh said, walking out of the room, leaving Fitz and Sophie alone in the room. Fitz cleaned Sophie's desk a bit, wiping off every bit of dust. He was halfway to cover the blanket when he noticed the difference.
Sophie never wore her uniform to bed, never, which was totally weird. Fitz peeled off her clothes, changing into her pajamas, he picked up the clothes. A tint of red stained Sophie's Foxfire uniform.
Fitz frowned, throwing the bunch of clothes into the laundry basket, he kneeled next to Sophie, he was definetly sure that there was a needle.
Fitz started to worry. He looked everywhere for the needle. The red thing in the corner caught his eye.
"LINH HAI SONG!!"
*****
The next morning, Sophie woke up with the orange- pink sunlight peaking through the windows.
"Soph, you're awake!" There's only one person who can call me Soph. "Fitz?"
He wrapped his arms around her tightly, "Why are you crying?" Sophie asked, leaning closer for a kiss.
"Soph, do you remember anything? From last night." Fitz questioned.
Sophie thought for a second. "Linh. Sedative. Red syringe..."
Fitz planted kisses on her lips, stopping her from listing the things, Sophie wrapped her arms around his neck, holding his head closer to hers. Slowly, they broke apart, panting heavily.
"Here, take this first." Fitz handed her a ice blue colored elixir.
"What's this?"
"Just a prevention."
