~ A Kotlc Story ~

Chapter 6 - Multi POV

Marella:

It was sad to see Sophie go, but it wasn't something that hadn't happened to me before. We drifted apart when she got banished, I didn't even get to say bye then. I was left all alone and we didn't see each other again until I manifested as a Pyrokinetic. This time, however, I had friends. Friends who I could spend time with until Sophie comes back. At least this time it wouldn't be as hard.

Linh:

Watching Sophie leave was one of the hardest things I endured in the past 3 years. She was the sole reason Tam and I were in the Lost Cities. If she hadn't helped me with breath control back at Exillium, we never would have become friends. And who knew what position the Black Swan would be in now without us? When Sophie said goodbye and leapt away I started to cry. I leaned on Tam's shoulder and sniffled softly. He wrapped one arm around my shoulder comforting me.

Tam:

I get that Sophie would only be gone for a year and that it wasn't a huge amount for our indefinite lifespan. Then again a lot can happen in a year. When Sophie leapt away a mood settled over everyone it was like a sunny day turning dark as a storm sweeps in. Linh started crying. Trying to be supportive I wrap my arm around her.

Dex:

For me saying goodbye to Sophie wasn't that bad. There was a chance that I would end up seeing her again. After all the Council would need me to check on all the gadgets I installed. I still felt bad for everyone else though.

Biana:

Not seeing my best friend in person for an entire year was going to be hard. I still had Linh and I was friends with Marella but I'm not as close with them as I am with Sophie. I feel my eyes go watery as I watch her glitter away. Think positive, I try to comfort myself. I could maybe hail her or see her in person at somepoint if the council lets me. I wipe a tear away and go to collect Iggy.

Fitz:

I didn't know what to say to Sophie. Yeah I get it she's up and leaving for an entire year and I wouldn't see her in person, but I'd always be able to talk to her telepathically. What hurt my mood?

Keefe.

Sophie chose him, not me, and it stung. I watched with envy as Sophie cried into Keefe's shoulder. That should be me I bitterly thought. I know that being both Sophie and Keefe's friends I should be happy for them...but I just...can't.

I could tell that Sophie was transmitting to Keefe. I wanted to listen in but I just couldn't. I tried to not show any emotion on my face.

Ro looked ecstatic. "Woohoo Sokeefe for the WIN, is anyone else in their head wondering what they were telepathically talking about?"

Yes, Ro, I am wondering what they are talking about.

"Take that Fitzy. Blondie over here is clearly talking to Funkyhair via the mind-talking ability she has. You sooooo wish that was you right now don't you?"

I curled my hands into fists and choked down my anger. I bit my lip before I'd say anything I'd regret. Sophie leapt away from Keefe like she'd been burned. Her eyes darted towards me. I pressed my lips together in a thin line and met her eyes only briefly before looking at Keefe. He looked ashamed and amazed at the same time, but I took no note of it.

Sophie stepped back, raised the crystal to the sky and disappeared from sight.

Keefe:

Fosters emotions are hard enough to understand as it is. But with the new enhanced ability that I have to thank Mommy dearest for, when Foster walked over to me it was like a tsunami crushing down on me. Sadness, Anger, friendship which funnily enough is an emotion.

Then she hugged me, it was like she opened a floodgate, even more emotions crashed into me, more sadness, worry, and love.

I brush off the feeling about the last one, It's probably cause she just said bye to her parents. Yeah.....

Keefe?......Are you gonna be alright? Foster's voice filled my mind,

Yeah of course I'll be fine Foster doesnt need to worry about me, she has her own dam problems to think about.

Even with your Dad?

I tried not to show it but she had a point. I grin trying to change the subject. Yeah

To end the conversation, I pulled myself out of the hug. "Woah Foster no need to get so upset," I smirked.

Keefe promise me you won't do anything stupid while I'm gone

Does that include pranking teachers and blowing up Foxfire? I joke trying to change the subject.

Keefe.... Sophie's eyes are narrowed..

Does that also include....

Keefe promise me you won't do anything reckless or stupid that will put your LIFE in danger!

Foster.. I couldn't answer her, knowing that I'd be lying to her.

Promise me NOW Keefe! I flinched. It was like she telepathically slapped me across the face.

I promise

A/N: Woohoo first time I've been on since the beginning of the year, over 9 months ago. Hope no one was waiting for this chapter lol
