LOVE AND LIES-Chapter 9

Authors Note: I'd like to say thank you to all my readers, once again. That's all I have to say!

Gethen whipped around and started heading down the hall, but Fintan grabbed him.

"Wait. You take Alvar back to his room, and call in reenforcements. I'll handle them until then." Fintan said.

"What about Sophie?"

"She's coming with me. She's going to watch their suffering."

"Ah."

"Get moving!"

"Sorry, yes." Gethen quicky hefted a still sleeping Alvar over his shoulder and ran down a different hallway then way Sophie had came. Fintan grabbed Sophie's arm and dragged her down yet another hallway. She shoved her behind a counter and growled, "If you so much as move a muscle, you will not see another day on this planet." Sophie nodded quickly.

She watched as Fintan hurried closer to the entryway, where she could hear voices. She only heard three. Her heart broke as she heard each one. Grizel. Sandor. Fitz.

Fitz! He came for you! She thought, wanting so bad to peer over the counter. But if she did that, their rescue efforts would have been pointless, and they'd most definitely be hurt, too. Just then, she heard a faint whisper beside her. Biana! 

"Sophie, we're gonna get you outta here. Don't move." the all-too-familiar voice whispered. 

Sophie could barely think as she heard the crackle of flames, screams, and the agonizing sound of ripping flesh. She could only hope it was Fintan's. She tried to drown out the sounds of battle, and she could feel Biana's arms wrapped around her. "Thanks." she muttered to Biana. Biana didn't say anything; maybe she was still mad at Sophie for whatever Sophie had done. Suddenly, there was a sickening thud. Sophie couldn't take it anymore. She jumped up, and sighed with relief when she saw it was Fintan's mangled body that was laying on the ground. 

"SOPHIE!!!!" Screams of joy came from all four people in the room. 

"Shhhh! Fintan sent Gethen for reenforcements!" Sophie said, hurrying toward the door. She didn't want to ask the only question on her mind. Still, she had to.

"How long have I been here?"

It was Grizel who answered. The rest seemed at a loss for words. "Two weeks."

"TWO WEEKS!!?!?!?!"

"Sophie, keep your voice down." Sandor spoke as he led them out the door. Sophie almost fell off the island. "Whoa." she said, glancing down at the thousands of feet below them.

"I know!" Biana said, becoming visible again.

"Are we going to get going, or what?" a new voice chimed in. Sophie glanced up, and there was a strong-looking woman floating on her own cloud. She had olive skin, with her straight black hair pulled into a tight high-ponytail. Her eyes were a deep blue, almost purple color that matched her tunic and leggings.

"Who is that!" Sophie said, almost backing off the cloud.

"I am Ventum." She said, her voice as smooth as song. She could be a popstar in the human world.

"She's the Black Swan's Guster." Fitz explained, not meeting Sophie's eyes.

"Ohhhh...but, why did she come?"

"I happen to be your method of getting home." Ventum said, and Sophie could tell this girl had sass.

"Oh. Sorry!" Sophie said, feeling guilty. Ventum's face softened, but only for a moment. It had morphed into determination. She flicked all the winds near her, and they formed a sleigh-like vechicle with a wind-woven alicorn pulling it. "Get in." Ventum commanded. The tohers sat down quickly, but Sophie was hesitant to follow. Before she could think about it,  Sandor pulled her into it, right on top of Fitz. 

Sophie could feel the heat rising in her cheeks as she said, "Sorry!" She scooted off of him to the open seat next to him. Ventum plopped onto the wind-made alicorn.

"AWAY!!!!" she yelled, just as Gethen, Vespera, and Ruy opened the door. Sophie smiled as she heard their screams fade away behind them.
