KOTLC - Lost

Chapter 5: Neverseen

Sophie and her friends flipped around, to see 3 black-cloaked figures facing her. On their sleeves, was their famous white eye symbol. Sandor and all the bodyguards immediately surrounded Sophie and her friends.

Sophie almost fell to the ground one of the Neverseen members flashed a yellow light, revealing a lifeless boy who fell onto the ground with a smack. Only moments later, would she realize.

"KEEFE!" She screamed, falling onto the floor. Her face felt wet, partially to the sweat, partially to the tears. 

His pale and lifeless limp body lied on the floor. Fitz gasped and everybody else scooted backwards, afraid of what they would do. Sophie glanced over at Mr. Forkle, and he looked disappointed. All 12 of the Councillors had already hid behind somewhere. 

Cowards. They were the one who scheduled this.

It looked like the Black Swan was alone on this one.

Biana took Sophie's hand, and she stood up. She had noticed the tears on Fitz's and Biana's face. Sophie scrunched up her nose, then stood still.

Sophie stepped forward, and everybody else did too, as they were all holding each other's sweaty hands. 

"This was not our plan." She screamed at the three figures. "YOU WANTED TO CONSULT US. YOU PROMISED, THAT WE WOULD JUST-"

"We were waiting for the Council. Not you alone."

She shook her head. She would have known that they were going to attack anyways. But Foxfire-

Was in danger. The Neverseen...

"I WON'T LET YOU TAKE HIM!" Fitz bellowed. "HE SUFFERED ALL THIS, BECAUSE OF YOU LADY GISELA. YOU-"

One of the members lifted her hood. She laughed. "You really think you could just take him? Well I'm afraid that you have underestimated us. You should just let him embrace the-"

"EMBRACE WHAT CHANGE!" Biana yelled.

Another one of the cloaked figures turned to them, and Sophie could tell a smirk was smitten behind all the fabric. 

"Sophie, do you wish to continue?" Ruy, asked smugly.

All the anger in her heart and mind gathered together. "YES. I WON'T LET YOU-" 

At that moment, two more bodies flopped onto the floor. One was - 

Linh and Wylie screamed, as they had a clear view of who they were. 

Once Sandor and Bo had moved out of the way, she also had a clear view. 

Blood trickling down their heads, the ogre princess and Elwin's head was trickling with blood. Her eyes widened. She'd had enough of this. 

"What about now?" Gethen's proud voice sounded. 

She collapsed onto the floor. If only she-

Miss Foster, you can do it, I can't hold on much longer... 

She glanced over at Mr. Forkle, and then nodded through her blurry eyes. Mr. Forkle was currently defending Tam and Wylie. She stood up. She had to do this. She had to fix this mess. A hand helped her up, and she saw it was Fitz.

Without realizing, Dex had already rushed over and threw a couple of his new and improved gadgets. Marella did too, and sparked a few flames of her famous blue fire. 

She flung the ball of flame towards Ruy, but his force field blocked it in time. She could tell that Tam had done damage to his ability, because it would flicker from time to time. 

Tam and Wylie joined Dex and both flashed a few bolts of light and shadowvapor. 

She gathered around her remaining group who were not fighting. 

Someone was missing.

Where was Biana?

Someone else too.

Fitz?

Biana must have escaped. Not again. And Fitz- 

She turned around to face the Neverseen again, and found Lady Gisela holding a shamkiv against both Fitz and Biana's neck.
