Rebel a sophitz story

Chapter 31

Sophie's POV

So I for sure know that I'll be going to Fitz's Inception party because one of the Black Swan's spy's heard that the Neverseen would be there and we, the Black Swan, needed to make sure that the Crowned Prince wasn't in any danger and not because I wanted to see Fitz psh that's stupid!  But on the other hand-

"Sophie,"  Biana says snapping her fingers in front of my face stopping me from having a debate with myself.

"Yes?"  I ask.

"I asked if you knew what you are wearing to the party?"

"Uh no?"  I question.

"Well we have to fix that now don't we?"

"I guess so," I mumble.

"Great!  To Atlantis!"

See only Biana and I would be at the party watching over Fitz.  It would look weird if we all went especially because he only knew me and Biana.

Once we did the whole whirlpool thing Biana dragged me to the nearest dress shop. 

"Well Sophie red is definitely your color,"  Biana comments once I try on a red dress.

"Really?" I question looking down.

"Of course!"

"Do you think this is the right one?"

Biana nods eagerly.

*Time skip to the party*

I stand in shadows of the ballroom of the Castle.

"We are here to celebrate my son and soon to be king Inception," says Alden.  "So please take to  the floor and enjoy the party!"

Everyone cheers and rushes to the dance floor.  

Staying in my corner of shadows I roll my eyes, why would you want to dance?  

Sandor who came despite a lot of persisting from me also rolled his eyes but I doubt it was for the same reason.

Biana was trying to make me join her on the dance floor.

"Please?"  she asks.

"No," I reply.

"Oh come on!"

"Why would I join the elves making fools of them selves?"

"You mean the elves having fun?"

"Yes."

"Just because we're on a mission doesn't mean you can't have fun."

"That's exactly why I can't have fun."

"Well I'll be on lookout on the dance floor, please feel free to join me," Biana says walking away.

"You should join Biana I can keep watch," Sandor says.

I glare at him.

"What?" he questions.

"I'm not going on that dance floor."

"Why?"

"Because I need to keep watch."

"I can do that.  Do you have a real reason  not to dance?"

"I don't know the people here," I say.

"So?  You could make new contacts."

"We already have plenty of contacts," I protest.

"You can never have to many."

"Wait," I say holding a hand up.  "Do you see that elf?"

"Which one?" 

I point, "The one in the red and black suit with the eye on the sleeve."

"The one who looks like they're talking to someone?"

"Yeah."

"He's about to leave."

"You don't think?"  I question.

"Go to him!"

I nod rushing towards the Prince.

"Hey, Sophie!"  Fitz says.

"Hi, Fitz," I say looking around for the intruder.

That's when glass exploded and the lights went out.

"Please remain calm!"  the King states.  "Is anyone a Flasher?"

A few people sparked balls of light.

That gave me enough light to see cloaked figures among the rest of the party goers making their way towards Fitz and I.

"Get behind me!"  I command.

"What? Why?"  Fitz questions.

"There are elves coming here for you so do as I say!"

"I won't let you risk your life  for me!"

"Please," I scoff.  "I've faced worse then them.  I train everyday!  I think I can take on a few Neverseen elves."

"Who are the Neverseen?"

I realize my mistake well more like mistakes.  I can't move except for my mouth and even then  it's painful.

"Don't let them brake you!  We will find you!   The Black Swan is not your enemy!  Don't trust Fintan the Neverseen is a group of evil elves!"  I tell Fitz.  Then transmit Swan Song!

That is Fitz's only hope.
