President of the Sophie Foster Fan Club

Chapter 30 Keefe's POV

Our faces were grim and ashen. Sophie looked exhausted, but I know she's just worried about all of us, especially Dex.

"Guys, the important thing is to get in and out unscathed. Don't try anything risky, the important thing is getting Dex out, the-the other captive can wait. So, yeah. Remember everything I've taught you, and if you need me, shout 'MALLOWMELT MAN, WE NEED YOU!'" I joke teasingly. Nobody seems to pick up on it.

For weeks I've been teaching them how to fight, not being rude or anything, but they probably would've lost if I wasn't there. Fitz was the worst though, he wouldn't except any of my help.  Hopefully his stubbornness doesn't get himself killed.

I toss out melders, knives, and these sword like things. Ironically, I slip on my Neverseen fighting uniform. I know, I know, what's the matter with you? Why would you wear something that represents so much harm? The truth is because I can hide weapons in here, and I can move better in it. I can tell it makes everyone uncomfortable and uneasy. I rip off the patch with the eye, and use super sticky stuff to paste on the new patch, which is a black swan with an orange beak. I smile. I know this is what I was made for. What I was always supposed to do.

No, it isn't marrying the prettiest girl I've ever met.

No, it's not being a member of the Black Swan.

No, not being an artist.

It's fighting.

Fighting for something worth protecting.

Fighting for the people who believe in me, when I don't.

It's protecting those I love, helping them achieve a better life.

I love the adrenaline that bursts through me, that rushes through my blood stream.

That makes me feel passionate about what I can do, and who I am.

It's making her proud.

It's helping those who are less fortunate.

It's being Keefe.

Keefe Sencen.

~~~

I knock on the door.

"Biana," I ask quietly. I hear a sniffle.

"Y-Yah?" I hear her call out.

I open the door slightly. I look at her tear stained cheeks.

"Hey, we'll get him, I'll personally make sure of it," I give her a smile.

"I know, I'm just scared. Scared that one of us is going to get hurt," She looks at me sadly.

"Hey, I'll make sure that you, Sophie, Fitz, Tam, Lihn, and Dex won't get hurt. I promise," I rub her back, she smiles.

"Okay, then lets go kick some Neverseen butt!" She tries to be peppy, but I know that she's terrified. Last time they inflicted all of their pain on her, and only her. That must have awful.

We head downstairs to find Sophie talking about the plan again.

"Sophie, it'll work," I chuckle.

She growls.

"Okay, everyone ready?" Biana asks, we nod. "Okay, then operation save Dex! Oh, and afterwards, it's been official, we'll celebrate someone's overdue wedding," Biana playfully glares at Alvar and Mareana.

We walk outside the pastures of Havenfield, gripping each others hands. Sophie and Biana held mine. Soon we were free-falling.

~~~

We were behind bushes overlooking the prison. We saw members guarding the main entrance, lava flowed everywhere.

"Okay, so half of you will go with me, the other half with Mareana. My group will go in through the secret entrance here, while Mareana's group goes through the main entrance here, they'll be the distraction. Keefe, you need to split your mind, that way you can help Sophie and fight," Alvar says looking directly at me. I nod and do it instantly on instinct. Sophie looks at me in shock.

"Didn't it hurt?" Sophie asks appalled. 

"No, not at all," I say awkwardly.

"Sophie, you split your soul in two at the last ambush, that's why it hurt," Alvar smiles.

"Okay then," Sophie trails off.

"On my signal, one two three," He flags his hands out, we were running, running straight for the entrance. Tam and Lihn were behind me, Fitz Biana and Sophie went with Alvar. I was supposed to protect Mareana. Alvar's orders since he couldn't change her mind to take the safer route, and he couldn't be here.

I slide and knocked one of the guards off of their feet. While the were on the ground I blasted them three times in the head with my melder. It took less the ten seconds.

Tam and Mareana knocked out the other two. Lihn used her powers to sweep their bodies far away from here, so then they'd be out of range, and their inercoms wouldn't work.

We ran inside, making sure to be not the least bit quiet. We needed to buy more time for Sophie.

Sophie, we're in, you?

I transmit.

Yes, we just entered. No one has seen us yet. I'm opening my mind to thoughts...NOW

Okay, Good Luck

Thanks, same to you! Can't wait to see you at the wedding!

I smile. I give her a little brain push too for good measure.

Soon more people are on top of us. I punch someone in the face, drop down low, spin my leg across the floor, knocking the person down. They get in a few punches, but I'm better and smarter. Soon they're unconscious.

I look over and help Lihn with her guy, one fist to the back of the head and he crumples.

"Thanks," Lihn smiles out of breath. I smile back.

"You're welcome, you probably would've done it anyway, we just need to hurry and keep them distracted!"

I turn around and see Tam struggling with two guys. I jump on one and choke him, he falls to his knees. I ease off of his throat at the last second and stomp on his face, I hear something crack. I blast him for good measure.

Tam has the other guy down. Mareana is helping Lihn take down another person. I rush forward, sending Sophie another push. I blindly punch someone, resulting in a kick to the gut. I sway a little from the momentum and fall. Soon they're on top of me, that's their mistake. I headbutt them, and they're surprised. Another mistake. Soon I kick them in the chest. They flip over. I stand up and smash their wrist with the heel of my boot. They growl in pain. Unfortunately, they grab my leg, and I fall down to the ground. I scramble up, and grab my melder but they knock it out of  my hands. We're wrestling for the device. Soon, though, he stops. I look up to see Lihn with a melder, she blows a strand of hair out of her face.

"Thought I could return the favor," She winks. I smile, grab my melder. We continue on. 

Sophie you--
