A Cognate's Love (Sophitz)

Chapter 7 | Fitz

Previously...

"Yes I know. Alvar will not be underestimated. Ever again." He said and I nodded my head in agreement.

Fitz's POV

"You guys are quiet..." I said looking back and forth at Linh and Tam.

They looked up at me for about 5 seconds then back down at their food.

"They've been like that ever since...Della.." Mr. Forkle said appearing out of nowhere.

I nodded understanding why they would have such a reaction. Della was a mother to all our friends.

I felt someone tap my shoulder and I looked around to see a grinning Sophie.

God she was cute..

"I'm back!" She said as I got up and wrapped her in the biggest bear hug ever.

"I'm so happy.." I whispered truthfully into her hair.

"Well ,we'll give you some time to catch up." Mr. Forkle said glancing at Linh and Tam who reluctantly stood up and walked to their treehouse followed by Mr. Forkle.

We both remained in each other's embrace and I never wanted to let go.

"It's weird , I've been with you for the past few days but I feel like I haven't actually been with you since now." I admitted still holding her close. "I've wanted to hug you and tell you how much I-since I got my memories back.."

Phew!

"Yeah I feel that way too." Sophie said so quietly it could be mistaken for a whisper. "It's kind of funny I mean what are the chances that we meet and turns out our memories have been washed because of some stupid death."
She blabbered.

It was harsh and I felt my sadness and a little bit of anger boiling inside me.

"What do you mean 'stupid death'?" I asked pulling away looking at her.

"I-I didn't mean her death was stupid it's just her dying was stupid like she was so great and amazing and beautiful. I loved her so much but Alvar he- it was stupid..." she said so quickly I could barely keep up. Her expression was so sympathetic I could do nothing but forgive her.

Well I could kiss her... I thought and it sounded like a good idea but I want our first kiss to be special.

"It's fine you didn't mean it." I brushed it off understanding her. "Also it is funny because in this other life I was part of some sort of agency and I was sent out on a mission to protect you."

"Hey! Kinda like last time.." she laughed. "All I knew was that I was just a normal girl with a normal family.. it was nice." She admitted.

That's when I remembered that Sophie's whole human life before I found her was her feeling out of place and unordinary. And that's when the thought struck me.

"Wait? Why didn't your abilities kick in?" I asked.

"Well," She said ,"Mr. Forkle said that he had Dex build a micro restricter but my abilities should come back in a few days."
