22nd October 2024 : Lumenaria : Inside the castle, ballroom : 12:30 a.m.
Sophie tried to wiggle free of Ruy Ignis's strong hold on her hands. The Neverseen weren't really her family. Her family was with all her friends. Edaline and Grady. Keefe. Keefe Sencen had been all she could think about for days. She finally remembered everything. Her crush on Fitz, her previous life, everything wrong she had done.
She sighed, though it wasn't very audible with the thick scarf around her mouth. This was a classic Neverseen move. Though, it was impossible to know why and how they made her react to sweet melodies. Or maybe the Black Swan tweaked her genetics the last time they were fixing her. The Black Swan had a leak. They must've done something to her. Must've.
"Stop moving!" Ruy whispered. She struggled even more, annoying him. She had been so deep in her thoughts, she hadn't noticed the knife to her neck. Ruy slowly removed the scarf from her mouth. "What are you going to do to me?"
"Don't you know?" Glimmer giggled sarcastically. She pushed the knife closer to her neck.
"Stop!" A husky voice called from behind Glimmer. Sophie couldn't see the mysterious man, but owed him a debt of gratitude for saving her life.
"What do you want, civillian?" Glimmer turned around, dropped the knife immediately and put her hands above her head. She shifted a bit to reveal blonde hair and immaculate ice blue eyes. Keefe.
Same day : Same place : 12:35 p.m.
Keefe didn't know what he was doing, but he knew he was helping his only love. If only she would ever love him back.
He aimed a gun which he had bought for back-up, if anything went wrong. Which it did. Brilliant. He aimed the black machine at the slim girl called Glimmer. She was aiming a dagger at Sophie's neck!!! How was Fitz not freaking out? I mean he was. He was fuming, and he was about to walk on the stage and tackle that girl.
"Put the gun down, son." Lady Gisela told him. "Son!? You have no right to call me your son. After everything you've done. Hurt me, killed my friends, destroyed my home. No, I'm not related to you in any way. So let her go, and everyone lives." he spat.
"Actually," Alvar grabbed the dagger from the floor and aimed at Sophie's neck again, "if you pull that trigger, I'll pull the trigger, too. Your choice. Me and Sophie, or just Sophie." Fitz groaned, grabbed Dex and Tam and climbed up to the stage.
"Actually, we choose neither." Tam tackled Glimmer while Dex flanked left and got Ruy. Fitz handled his brother. While the boys tackled half of the Neverseen, the girls untied Sophie and told everyone to flee. Somehow. But, they couldn't. Maximum security lockdown.
So, basically the boys failed and got hurt, and everyone got locked up in the castle dungeon.
