Sophie's eyes felt droopy as did her arms and she sunk down to the ground fully. She heard mumbled voices pass through her consciousness and felt the presence of a warm tingle reside in her body. She wanted to follow that tingle and rest in it forever.  She began to lean into the feeling when she felt her mind jostle. A shock shot through her body and her eyes came bursting open. She woke up n her bed with her friends Biana, Fitz, Keefe, and Dex along with her parents Grady and Edaline and Elwin. All looked relieved to see her awake. Sophie rubbed her eyes and stretched.

"What happened? Why are you guys all sitting on my bed.." Her memories came rushing back and she sank back under the covers. She felt a glove slide off and a warm rush of breeze come through her mind. She relaxed into the feeling letting it calm her enough to reopen her closed eyes.

"Sophie, it seems you had a light revulsion.  I believe its equivalent to what humans call a panic attack."

A memory floated to the top of her mind. A time when her human parents were speaking in hushed tones down in the living room but Sophie could hear their thoughts. Earlier that day Sophie had asked her mother what a panic attack was. She had heard the teachers talking about a student who had had one during school that very day. Her parents were talking about the ways that they could keep Sophie away from all the stress that could lead to panic attacks. Sophie later learned(after she'd researched it) that panic attacks were also part of having anxiety. 

Edaline handed her Ella after a tear rolled down her cheek. She would have to find a way to get her parents back and keep them safe.

"Well, I have some elixers I need you to drink and then try to rest a little. After that, you should be good to go." Elwin handed Grady a small sack of vials containing multiple liquids of various colors.

 As she sat in bed, Sophie shared with her friends her need for revenge and they all got to work on a plan.  They all seemed stumped until Dex came up with an idea that she had never thought of

"Sophie! have you ever considered tracking your parent's thoughts or Fintans?"

The room fell into a shocked silence. None of them had ever considered that before now. It was such a simple answer to their problems. The real question was, would it work?

Sophie sat under Calla's tree surrounded by Mr. Forkle, Dex, Fitz, Biana, Keefe, Sandor, Grady, Edaline, and a few of the gnomes. She looked to each one for support as she stretched out her consciousness and slowly closed her eyes. Her mind spread like a giant blanket over as much as she could cover, but she didn't find anything she was looking for.  She was starting to lose hope until she felt a rush of warm confidence rush through her mind and give her a boost of energy. She felt her ring snap together with Fitz's rings. Her mind felt much more relaxed with him there and her consciousness spread like the wind. Spreading throughout the entire world it seemed. Her mind zoomed in on one small area in the Northeastern area around the UK. She felt two weak mins float into hers. She heard one word over and over as her parent's minds collided with hers.
