Keefe's Pov

The purple light feels like ice-cold needles stabbing into my skin. So much for Sophie 'hating me'.  The light leap if you can even call it that seems to last for minutes instead of seconds like normal. When the beam ends I am pulled into a dark cave. I hear Tam and Sophie whispering but they are to quiet for me to hear what they are saying. A cloth is wrapped in front of my face to block my sight and I smell a sickly sweet scent draped in front of my mouth and nose. I try to hold my breath so I can stay conscious. I can't say that I enjoyed the time I spent in the Neverseen, but some of the skills do help. I go limp as if the drugs had knocked me out and feel arms wrap behind my knees to be thrown over their shoulder.

"Sophie, why won't you just come back?! Don't you want to get your memories back? I know that you know there are some blank spaces in your mind," Tam accuses thinking that I am not listening.

"I-it's just that as soon as I woke up Jolie was there. She was there to help me. And Everblaze doesn't seem as bad as Keefe made it out to be," Foster points out, "Plus it's not like I can change anything now. Like any of them will take me back after I told them that I hate them. Especially Keefe," she says the last part under her breath.

"Well, I have a plan," Tam blurts.

Sophie takes a sharp intake of breath, "A plan? For what?"

"To get out of here," Bangs Boy stage whispers, "I know how we can get out and have everyone forgive us."

My breath hitches which gives me away. Sophie gasps and I feel Tam shift to set me down. I collapse trying to recover my facade.

Tam kicks me lightly in the stomach, "Get up, we know you're awake."

I groan but stand up. Foster glares at me and Tam scowls. We keep walking in silence. I try to spot any marks so I can find my way back when I escape, but I can't see anything. The black rock walls all look the same. As we go deeper into the cave it starts to get darker, I decide to try my luck and stretch my mind out to Tam's. 

Tell me where we are I command him with my mind. I know that it is illegal but I think that the Council will allow it under these circumstances.

"This place is called the Lonely Caverns, its a series of catacombs that all look the same. Unless you know the exact path to get in and out. Anyone who comes in here gets lost, and if they get lucky Everblaze has millions of guards patrolling the entrance. Plus if you don't have a special pendant after the guards there is a hall like Kings Path," Tam explains.

Foster hits him on the arm hard, "What are you doing?!"

Bangs Boy shrugs for some reason covering for me. I swallow my remarks about him loving me too much to get me in trouble.

"It doesn't matter, Ezra is going to make me do a probe anyway," Foster looks at me, "And I will find whatever you are hiding."

"Oh yeah! I didn't think you would do that. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some pitty points because of my Mother Dearest. Am I right Bangs Boy?" I scoff holding my hand up for a high five.

Tam leaves me hanging, "We're here."

I turn to see a..... rock wall. Sophie sees my confused face and laughs, she then pushes herself through the wall. I realize that it is an illusion like the one that had hid Luna and Wynn. Tam with his hold still tight on my arm shoves me through the wall, it feels like walking through sand. When we appear on the other side I see a small village, there are small cottages and medium townhouses. It isn't as spectacular as normal elvin homes, but they are cute. My two escorts lead me to the biggest house at the end of the street.  We were a pyramid with Foster in front, Tam and me slightly behind flanking her sides, two ogres, and one goblin in the back. Our footsteps echo through the silent halls as we slink towards six glowing thrones. 

Jolie sits the green with vines wrapped around the arms of the throne, Brant is on the orange and yellow one with Everblaze hovering above the top, a guy with black hair and dark skin sits on the translucent grey throne that was hovering above the ground, a tan lady with purple hair sits on the gradient blue throne with a stream of water going from the arms to the top. There are two seats left, one pitch black with shadowflux seeping out of the bottom, and the last one glowing silver with quintessence hovering above. In the middle of the circle is the same star only instead of five points there are six. I can't imagine what is going to happen today.

Tam and Sophie go to sit on their thrones and leave me standing with the bodyguards.

"Welcome, Mr. Scencen. I can only guess why you are confused, not to worry you will see soon enough. In fact, we will need you to complete our plan," Bant greets, "Until then you will be staying in our complimentary guest quarters next to Ms. Foster's room."

Almost like a silent agreement, everyone stands simultaneously. Foster stalks over to me and yanks me towards the door leading me to my "quarters". She drags me and I try to keep up. We arrive in front of a little cottage, Sophie opens the door and shoves me through. I stumble and fall on a plush carpet, I hear Foster snicker.

"Get up," she orders.

I push myself up into a plank position, start doing pushups, and smirk up at her, "Nah I'm good down here."

She glares at me but I see her lips twitch into a smile. I get up off the floor and follow her into my room. Foster stops suddenly and spins around I run into her knocking us onto the bed behind her. I look down at her and see a blush creep up her neck onto her cheeks. I feel her throw feelings of embarrassment, fear, regret, and something else. I lean down so our lips are just a few inches apart. I feel her breath fanning my face and her eyes flutter.

Sophie presses her hands against my chest, "K-keefe? W-wh-what are you doing?"

I jerk up and push myself off the bed, "I don't know. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have. I mean you said you hate me and...." I trail off and reach my hand behind my neck.

"N-no! I don't hate you, I wouldn't. I couldn't ever hate you, Keefe," Foster stands up and timidly places her hand on my arm, "I love you."

My breath hitches, "Yo-you what?" 

Sophie's Pov

"I-I love you, Keefe."

I feel Keefe's soft lips press against mine, my legs collapse and my vision goes blurry. Keefe pulls away feeling my reaction. I see his lips move but I can't hear anything. Everything around me goes black.
