A Cognate's Love (Sophitz)

Chapter 11 | A Damsel in Distress

~ Authour's POV ~

Grady and Edaline were back and after many hugs and lots of crying the group split up.

Squall and Granite decided to go back to Havenfield with Grady and Edaline while the rest of the collective stayed with Sophie and Fitz.

"Is there anything you need before we go?" Asked Mr. Forkle.

"Yeah ,do you mind if I look around ,just for the memories." She head awkwardly tapping the side of her head.

"Yes of course. Just be quick."

As Sophie walked inside she immediately remembered the familiar scent of the house. Something about it used to feel so homey but now it just felt strange.

She walked up stairs reminiscing in the memory's of her old life. Everything about it had been so real at the time and it's sad to know the truth.

She walked down the familiar hallway and into the room at the end. She walked into the bedroom ,it has teal walls and white curtains ,the soft grey rug brought back so many memories of when she would sit their and study or play with Iggy her old dog who was probably somewhere sleeping. His name suited him because his farts were just as stinky.

She sat down on the familiar carpet and propped her back against the bed. She hadn't realized she was crying until her shirt felt wet and warm. She looked around ,she really was gonna miss this place.

Fitz walked through the house looking for Sophie. She had been in there a while and he was starting to get worried ,he searched the first floor but didn't find her.

As he walked upstairs he could hear soft sobs ,this worried Fitz so he hurried down the hall checking each room.

Finally he made it to the last door ,it was opened a crack but he could make out Sophie sitting on the floor crying.

He knocked on the door frame.

"Come in." Sophie said ,she had her knees tucked into her chests and her head was resting on her arms.

He walked over to her ,he didn't need to say anything he understood how she must've felt to have such a perfect life but find out how fake it was. Fitz missed the younger days ,he remembered being 15 ,and how perfect the elvin world seemed. How must he trusted people. Nowadays he doesn't know what's right or wrong.

He sat next to her ,rubbing her back in small circles. She had used this method to calm him down when he was worried about his father.

She calmed down and stopped crying but she was clearly still sad about something.

"We should get going." He said once he heard the door open. Mr. Forkle walked in ,he just smiled at Fitz and gave him a small nod before leaving.

"Yeah your right..." Sophie said as she got up ,Fitz followed after her as they exited the house.

They met Mr. Forkle at the end of the drive way ,the sun was setting and Mr. Forkle held out his crystal ,it took a few seconds for it to capture enough light before it whisked them away.

What they thought was that they would go and see Alden and Biana ,heal them and be on their merry way ,but the Neverseen has other plans ,that were far more dangerous.
