Since You've Been Gone ~ A Sokeefe Fanfiction DISCONTINUED

The day he stopped responding

Sophie woke up to the blinding sun shining in her face. Ugh. She forgot to close the blinds last night. She clapped her hands to close them, and rolled over. When she couldn't fall back asleep, she dragged herself out of bed.

She trudged over to her closet, and grabbed a loose white tunic, and some black leggings. Her go-to outfit. She changed and headed for her bedroom door.

"Ugh, your hair looks revolting." Said a familiar voice. Vertina. "Get over here so I can help you with that-that monstrosity." Sophie sighed, and headed across her room over to the mirror.

Vertina instructed her to pull her hair into a strange, twisty kind of ponytail. She also put on a but if the golden eyeliner Biana had given her years before. Sophie would never admit it, but she kind of liked how she looked. Pretty.

She walked down the stairs, and was greeted by Grady and Edaline. They were her her parents by adoption.

"Let me guess," Grady started, "you forgot to close your blinds again?"

Sophie nodded.

Edaline smiled warmly. "I made your favorite breakfast!"

Sophie ran to the table, where her favorite breakfast waited for her. Mallowmelt, mixed with Custard Bursts and Ripplefluffs. A/N: I think that's what their called. The buttery cake-like dish tasted like vanilla ice cream mixed with pumpkin pie, brownies, and caramel.

"Mmmm," Sophie sighed, "Delicious."

Sophie got to work at around 7:00 A.M. Since she was the only elf who could communicate with them, she worked with the Alicorns and their babies.

She was also a Keeper for the Council. She kept the most important secrets inside her impenetrable mind, and guarded them with her life. If anyone were to somehow get into Fitz or Mr. Forkle's mind, they would figure out how to get past her blocking. Though, if that ever happened, she would just inflict on the person and lock them up.

SOPHIE! FRIEND! HI!

Sophie smiled. Silveny has found out she was here.

A year or so after the Alicorn family was set free, the Neverseen had found and almost captured them. If Silveny hadn't transmitted to Sophie for help, the Neverseen would have them. After that, Sophie convinced the Alicorns that the safest place for them and their children would be at the Sanctuary.

Hi! Sophie transmitted to Silveny. How are you?

Sophie! Friend! Good!

Sophie made her way into their enclosure. It had been years since the Alicorns had moved back into the Sanctuary, and they had never been happier.

She fed them, taught Winn and Luna some cool tricks, and flew with them.

"Hey." Said a familiar voice. Sophie turned and slimed. She could recognize his disheveled blond hair and ice blue eyes anywhere. Keefe.

"Hey." Sophie responded. Her heart did a strange fluttery thing. His hair seemed...better than normal. She didn't know how to describe it. And his eyes... Stop it. She thought. You have a boyfriend—who happens to be Keefe's best friend! Knock it off! She shook her head.

"So...how's Glitterbutt doin'?"

SOPHIE! KEEFE! GLITTERBUTT! FLY!

Sophie rubbed her temples. "She's alright." She told Keefe. "Still likes me better than you." Sophie smirked. At that moment, she remembered what everyone had been telling her since her second year at Foxfire. The more you hang out with him, the more you become the girl version.

Keefe flashed her a smirk of her own. "Suuuure she does." Keefe wakes over to Silveny. "You like me better, isn't that right Glitterbutt."

KEEFE! GLITTERBUTT! FLY!

"Shes telling me how much she hates you actually." Sophie said as she walked over to them. "I think you're making things up, just because she can't speak to me telepathically." Keefe said jokingly.

"Speaking of talking telepathically," Keefe started, "What'd Fitz say during his check up?" Sophie stopped what she was doing. She checked the time. 9:00 P.M. She dropped the buckets of water she had been carrying. No. She thought. No no no no no no no no no no no!

Sophie rallied all the concentration she possibly could at that moment any transmitted.

FITZ!?! No response. FITZ! ANSWER ME!

Fitz was supposed to check in at 1:00 P.M. He had been every day for the three months he had been on this mission.

He hadn't checked in today.

Haha. Don't hate me. I promise I'll post next Sunday. And if I don't, I'll post an extra long chapter to make up for it. I'll post soon!
