a dangerous combination [discontinued]

"Are you serious??"

Sophie jumped out of her chair, completely shocked by the news.

"Yes, Miss Foster," Mr. Forkle said, running a hand through his hair. "We have decided that you have been waiting long enough. It's finally your chance to make that 'change' you're always talking about."

Sophie pumped her fist, excited. She had been waiting for this day all her life. "Awesome! Where do I sign??"

"All jokes aside,  some rules still do apply. No reckless decisions. You have been appointed  to join a small group. You will be going to one of the Neverseen's hideouts, and your goal is claim the base as ours. The less amount of hideouts the Neverseen has, the better for us. You will listen to Sandor, as he is the group leader, and you will wear the necessary gear and protection."

"Eh," Sophie said, already half bored of the conversation, "at least I don't have to stick around here. After 14 years, there isn't much to do or see."

Mr. Forkle smiled sadly. "I hope you understand that those were necessary precautions. After all, you may just be the turning point of this war."

Sophie rolled her eyes to cover the faint blush now appearing on her cheeks. She didn't like being complimented. "Guess I'd better get packing, unless you have any other rules or anything?"

When Mr. Forkle shook his head, Sophie sprinted from the grounds of Havenfield, back up to her room. She was nearly bursting with excitement. Finally, after all these years, they were actually doing something. It seemed that the Neverseen were always one step ahead of them. Sophie couldn't even count how many times members of the Black Swan had returned from a fight with dejected looks. So many from their side were gone, some who were dead, some who had left from fear, and others who just didn't even want to have a part in the war.

But now they had Sophie.

And she was ready for anything.

Ready to die, if it came to that.

But she wasn't going down without a fight.

hi again!

So this was sort of a filler chapter but eh I needed to have this convo somewhere, so why not here?

(Im also scared to write a war scene, but let's just look over that, shall we?)

So if you guys have any suggestions or tips or found an error somewhere in my writing, feel free to point it out.

Uhhh yeah that's kinda it
