What If...(Kotlc)

Gray Lines

"Mr. Ignis has requested-"

"Yes, I know he's requested a trial, we all know that, AND ding ding ding, you guessed it! We all know he's guilty."

"Well, yes, we know he's guilty, but erm..." Bronte looked to Oralie for help, trying to say what needed to be said. "Well you see we've never had a trial for this, and well it's not exactly against our laws because well elves are not violent creatures, and well, his mind should be shattered if he truly did such...acts against you"

"Are you seriously looking at me right now and telling me, that Ruy should be free because there's no possible way he could do that as an elf, because of you're 'OH SO FRAGILE MINDS' that just can't possibly take violence?!" I yell, and step towards Bronte, and Keefe grabs my wrist, I pull my arm away from his grip, and turn to Oralie as Bronte simply tries to find a response. "and you." I point to her and she shifts nervously, 

"Sophie please, you have to understand-"

"No don't tell me what I don't understand! It's very clear, who could trust the weird elf girl who grew up with HUMANS and has BROWN eyes, fine don't trust me, but don't try to arrest me when you realize elves really are possible of great violence without their fragile minds shattering."

"It's not that we don't believe you it's just this has NEVER happened, the council just doesn't know what to do..." She said pleading with me to understand. 

"right well I'm always an anomaly, you searched for me what for 12 years? All because you broke an INNOCENT elf's mind, an elf who had a wife and a child, and from that mind break you found what? A single strand of DNA that led to me! You didn't seem to have much of a problem when you broke Prentice's mind just because you're noble Alden suspected something was off with Prentice." I was holding the plate in my hand trying to stop myself from launching it as hard as I could at both councilors. 

"Ms. Foster the council has voted and like it or not, Ruy may not even end up in Exile, and as far as we know you were kidnapped and had amnesia, so Ruy may simply be someone whom you fell in love with and it was someone completely different-"

"Oh so it's just all gray lines to you when you're precious council has never experienced an issue before? Is that what you told Wylie? Did you use the same grey guidelines when you had to tell him that his father was never coming back, because he wouldn't tell you his secrets so you performed a mind break?" I said angry that they would even suspect me of lying, I may have been brainwashed but I remember and I know now. 

"No that is not at all what we are-"

"GET OUT!" I shout pointing at the door, I know if they're here any longer they're both going to die. My vision clouded over as I felt the anger built up enough I watch as stream of what looks like lightening targets Bronte, and I can feel the anger leave my body. He collapses and the red lightning stops. 

"I-I what was that?!" I exclaim confused as Oralie grabs hold of Bronte she looks at me with a strange look as she leaps away. Keefe cleared his throat awkwardly.

"So should you call Biana and let her know you're going shopping?" He asked, 

"I'm not going shopping-"

"Do it, you never know you might have fun with Linh and Biana."

"Fine but you're coming with"

"What hey that's-" he say's trying to get out of it but I glare at him, "Okay fine, let's go find Biana"

...

"No Biana I don't need a ball gown" I said trying to stop her from forcing me to try on a gazillion dresses. 

"But Sophie, look at this one it's so red and it has little gold details, those'll definitely make you're eyes pop!" she said looking at me with pleading eyes.

"Ugh fine, but I'm only trying this dress on" I finely agree looking at her pointedly as she nod enthusiastically. I take the dress and go to try it on. 

I glance in the mirror as I pull the dress on, it really is a beautiful dress, Amy would love such a dress. It's the kind of design I would have imagined for my wedding. 

The dress and then my hair would have been in a waterfall braid and curled. With little butterflies in my hair, I would have walked down the isle with my father, and Amy would have been my Maid of Honor, and she would have worn a light blue dress, or maybe I would have chosen light red as I now know more about fashion sense. I take a deep breath looking at myself in the mirror before I step out to show Biana, Keefe, and Linh. 

"I-Yes Sophie you're getting that, you look stunning, right Keefe?" Biana exclaims clapping her hands together, Keefe stands looking back at me nodding his head and he moves his mouth obviously trying to say something. 

"Sophie please wear that when we get married..." he say's and I can barely hear it but I know I'm blushing as I nod and step back behind the curtain as Linh gives me and enthusiastic thumbs up with some water. 

I look in the mirror one last time, before taking it off and changing finally glad this shopping trip is over and I can go sleep.

A/N:

Oh well well well welllll, lookie lookie at what we have hookie. 

Gasp...Could Ruy possibly NOT go to Exile, and could Sophie end up having to live with him well, because they're married?

How could the council be so Incredibly stupid? No no they must come to their senses and bring Ruy justice. OOOOH and Sophie got her Inflicting abilitiessss, did Forkle actually trigger a special ability???

Anyways have a great day or Sleep wherever and whenever you read this :)
