"Get ready," Mr. Forkle warned as Sophie and Biana linked hands. A light seemed to sink into Biana as soon as Sophie touched her. The Black Swan members crouched in battle poses, as Sophie's heart thumped offbeat. She knew what this could bring. Confusion. Definitely confusion. Havoc? But she was willing to go forward with this plan if Keefe would be brought back. This was the only way, there was no other. Healing Oralie's mind wouldn't fix the crisis, and sadly, Sophie realized that Oralie's mind-breaking was only a fracture of the pain to come.
One second passed.
One heartbeat passed.
And Sophie held her breath as Biana reached forward, and raised her hand over the cot, and waved it in a rhythmic manner. This was it. They would find their only clue there. Biana's shaking hands symbolized it. Finally, a few seconds crawled tauntingly by, as Biana lowered her hand, and something flashed so fast that Sophie couldn't tell what it was. But the light faded away, and she saw everybody looking disoriented, while Biana held something in her hands. Excitement coursed through Sophie's veins and she could've sworn she saw a glimpse of hope burst across the Black Swan members whose face was hidden. Maybe this was actually it. Maybe - maybe their clue had been found.
"I have it," Biana whispered, opening her palm, and Sophie braced herself for anything, but found herself looking at nothing.
"Biana - are you ok?" Fitz asked worriedly, breaking his position in the front of the cot and running over to part his sister down for injuries.
"Miss Vacker, what do you see?" Mr. Forkle asked cautiously. Sophie suddenly noticed of the risk the supposed object Biana was carrying could have.
"You should let it go Biana. It may be dangerous." Sophie slowly slipped her hand out of Biana's slack grasp. Though what if the whole room was dangerous?! What other dangers were hidden? Luckily, as Sophie surveyed the room, she saw that Tam, Linh, Dex, Mr. Forkle, and Granite seemed fine, other than a few puzzled expressions. She wondered if that was really all the havoc. Maybe this clue would be easier than the last! But Biana's next words shook her out of the dream.
"You guys really can't see it?"
