In Unknown Lands

" For the last five weeks you've had your hair straight! Why?" Leah asked " I-I'm sorry.. Who are you?" Silvea turned to her " Oh! Sorry... I'm... Uh.... Leah!" She smiled " Oh! You're another-" Silvea's voice was muffled by Fitz's hand as he dragged her in a corner with Leah " Hey!" Silvea shoved his hand off of her mouth " Don't do that!" She snapped " Only the group, dad, & the council know." Fitz whispered " Guys! It's been a year! Sophie let out her secret before a year!" Silvea grumbled " We still can't tell anyone yet!" Leah's eyes were filled with hope that Silvea wouldn't do anything.

" Hey! Has anyone seen Sophie?" Silvea's mind became dizzy " I-I'll be right back." She mumbled.

What's wrong?

I don't feel so well..

Go to Elwin!

Okay..

You know what? I'll take you... You're swaying like crazy!

Fitz steadied her before picking her up. " Ah..... My head." Silvea's eyes wouldn't stay open " Elwin! She's not feeling well!" He set her on a cot, Bullhorn screamed, Elwin nearly dropped his glasses as he ran to Silvea.

A few hours had passed but all of Silvea's friends were sitting on the floor refusing to wait outside " Is she okay?" Biana's voice cracked " She's fine! Now go wait outside! Now!" Everyone rushed outside except for Fitz who wouldn't leave her side " Mr. Vacker please! There's no reason for the whole family to come!" Elwin pleaded, Silvea felt a silky gown on her arm.

Fitz? Is Della here?

What's going on with you?

I don't know!

" Mom! Where's dad?" Fitz's voice sounded different like he'd been crying while Silvea was sedated.
