Heart Broken

4

Sophie stared at Keefe as he lye in one of Elwin's bed, slowly recovering from being attacked. When he was brought in, Sophie had panicked because Bullhorn slept next to him for the next two days. Now Keefe was recovering slowly. Ro was mad because she had to use the restroom and the one tiny break she had he got attacked. She was threating the person or elf who attacked Keefe. No one knew who attacked him but Fitz had disappeared all the four days of Keefe's recovery in his house. Sophie was sitting next to Keefe and held his hand when Keefe's eyes slowly blinked open. Tears streamed down Sophie's cheek and choked out, "Oh my god! Thank goodness! Keefe you're alive!" 

Keefe looked up as Sophie hugged him. "Sophie," he whispered. "You're alright. Thank goodness. I thought someone had harmed you." He smiled as Sophie ruffled his hair.

"No one would do that Keefe. We all thought you were dead. The Council's finding who out who almost killed you. It couldn't have been the Neverseen. Foxfire is way to protected for them to attack you unless it was Alvar..." Sophie ranted. Keefe raised a weak limb covered Sophie's mouth and the pain in his eyes made Sophie sad.

"I know who it." He whispered quietly and looked down. "I still couldn't believe this person did it still." His voice cracked with sorrow and he leaned his head back. Sophie squeezed his hand.

"Please tell us, Keefe. This person needs to be dealt with their punishment." Sophie pleaded gently as she cupped his face with her other hand. Keefe pulled that hand to his mouth and kissed as a tear slide down his cheek. Sophie had never seen Keefe cried in all the years she had known him.

"It was Fitz."

Sophie told the Council and Bronte and Oralie were shocked and didn't believe but the evidence was clear it had to be Fitz. They found a letter to Della from Fitz saying something was wrong with him and he killed Keefe but he didn't know Keefe had survived. Also Fitz disappeared after the time Keefe got attacked hadn't been seen since.

Fitz had been hiding. He had discovered a hidden room on the Foxfire campus. It was like the Nightfall door in a fountain of founder of the school. He had to hold his breath and open the door. The room had been designed that water flow into a mini river which led right back to the fountain. The water was fresh water so he drank it. Fitz also sneaked in the cafeteria to grab, there was a hallway leading up to it. It was night and Fitz was stocking up his food supply. He regretted killing Keefe wished he was out in the world still not in hiding. Don't regret Fitz. Look into your future with me. We'll be rulers of the elves. Isn't that what you want?  It is, Fitz thought and he startled himself by thinking that. He shook his head and climbed up the ladder. He opened the trap door which was hidden in between the cabinets and stove then he climbed out. He started filling his bag full of food. 

"Fitz?" A voice called out and he froze. He turned around and stared at the person behind him. It was Marella. Her gentle ice blue eyes stared at him in wonder. Her long pixie like blonde hair was braided into one long braid.

"Marella, what are you doing here?" Fitz asked as the girl fidgeted with her braid.

"A voice told me so but what about you? Your wanted for attacking Keefe Sencen," Marella said. 

"You mean murdered?" He said as he stuffed two bundles of bananas into his bag. Marella shook her head.

"No, wanted for attacking him. Fitz, Keefe's still alive. He barley survive your attack," She said her eyes wide. Fitz almost dropped the package of strawberries he was holding.

"He did! Thank goodness! I worrying I killed my best friend," Fitz signed but then angry urged out of him. "But then what do I care anymore about him. Keefe betrayed me, Sophie betrayed me and my friends betrayed me..."

"...I am your friend. Did I betray you?" Marella asked and Fitz shook his head.

"No...........Wait you said a voice told you to be here." Fitz asked, "No way that voice told me to kill Keefe." Marella stared at him.

"And that voice is right behind you."
