Baby Alicorn

Chapter 3

Sophie dismounted right away."Eternalia............but, why?"

Silveny nickered, as if she just answered Sophie's question. Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby come "................um.....okay." "Come on Keefe,"She whispered.

"Let me get this straight......... we could be walking blindly into an epic showdown between the Black Swan and the Neverseen."

"Um I guess we could."

"Then let's go faster!"

Sophie rolled her eyes. "We have to keep pace with Silveny." The sparkly alicorn was now trotting ahead of everyone. They had to jog to catch up.

Shouldn't we just ride her? Keefe asked.

"Wouldn't hurt."Sophie replied.

Stop she transmitted. Silveny stopped. Sophie once again showed her pictures of what she and Keefe were about to do. Siveny knelt down this time,so they could swoop their legs over her back and slide on. They used her mane to hold on and Sophie gave Silveny the lead. Silveny took them behind the lone tower with the surrounding silver fence.

Behind the tower was a silver stone with runes carved into it.

"That's just a bunch of gibberish." Keefe said.

But it wasn't, it was the runes the Black Swan programmed her to read.
"It says........... Oh my gosh!"

What?," Keefe asked.

"We need to go right now!!!!" Fly she told Silveny.

"Whoa, Foster you gotta warn me next time you do that!

What's wrong?"

Sophie could barely speak.

"......... It said...........something about Mr.Forkle." Sophie mumbled.

" That ruckleberry, patience freak genius."

"Keefe........ remember we already talked about this. You don't have to do that anymore."

"Do what?" His voiced cracked with each word.

"Cover everything thing up with jokes."

"I have to." "It's my way of dealing with everything."

Mr. Forkle's death had suprisingly been the toughest on Keefe. Mr. Forkle had been like second father to Keefe. Or a first one for that matter. "Are you gonna tell me what the runes said!" Keefe screamed. Silveny was really picking up her pace with her instinct kicking in. This is what she loved. Sophie could feel her emotions, even though she wasn't an empath. She was free. Finally free! Not that she hadn't been free before, but now she was alone, no Greyfell, no baby,and most of all, no protector. The sparkly alicorn could fend for herself. She still had to cope with Sophie and Keefe. Though, she really, really, really, missed them. Sophie could feel all this from one second of going into Silveny's conciousness.

"Maybe........ we should wait until we land." Sophie mumbled.
"Uh uh! You are telling me right now!"

Luckily, Silveny went high into the air in hopes of teleporting. She tucked her wings and dropped from the sky like a missle. Thunder cracked and they were in the darkness of the void. Soon they saw light and they were once again in the rolling green hills of Havenfield.

" Nothing about that was about mini Glitterbutt," Keefe whined.
Grady was in the same spot he was when Sophie left, but this time Sandor was with him. "Sophie!" He had a sterness in his voice but his face was relieved.
"How could you do that! We had a-"
He was cut off by Sophie yelling, "Sandor!" And Keefe with "Gigantor!"
"Your punishment will be determined soon."
Grady said coldy. Sophie didn't hear him though, she was too busy swamping Sandor in a hug.
"And get that boy outta here."

Sophie gritted her teeth. "His name is Keefe."

"Should we have another talk about boys?" Grady asked.

"Man! I wish I wad there for that!"Keefe laughed.

"Whoa Mr . Ruewen, that's a lot of disgust waves coming my way."
Grady's face turned cold again. "Okay, I'll go. He took out his leapmaster and leaped away. "Go to your room," Grady told Sophie. "Don't you want to know what I've learned? And what about Silveny?" Sophie asked.
"She'll rest here until she's ready to go."

"When will that be?

"That's up to Silveny and Greyfell, now go-"

"I'm going, I'm going." Sophie said. Right when Sophie plopped down on her bed and Grady left the house a figured showed up in her room.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" "Hey Foster!" Keefe said flashing his trademark smirk. Since Sandor, Grady, and Edaline's were all outside with Verdi, no one heard Sophie and Keefe.

"Keefe! Don't ever do that again!"

"Not going to lie." He winked," I wasn't expecting that reaction. I thought by now I'd be sprawling on the floor dropped
by your inflicting."

Sophie rubbed the knot of emotions under her rib. She was tempted to lash out a little bit on Keefe but decided against it.

"Now tell me what it said on the stone!"
Sophie opened her mouth to scream. Keefe covered her mouth just in time.
"Ah ah ah. Tell me. I can handle it."

" It was a written out Neverseen plan. Killing
Mr. Forkle was intended. Gethen set everything up. With the sword. Everything. And the worst part is.......... Brant's not dead."
