Cognate Love 2

Chapter 3 - Sophie POV

 I walked out of Biana's room, well, because I was frustrated. I know that I should wait, but Keefe deserves to be woken up! He's been in a coma for over 2 months! I was in a coma for a month, and yet people worked harder on me than they did for Keefe. Why? Because I'm the moonlark? Because I'm supposed to save everyone!? Ugh. Just once, I'd like things to be normal for a day. Where the Neverseen don't exist, where Keefe's awake and I'm not on crutches. But thats wishful thinking, and right now I need to think strategically. 

I walked into my 'room' and sat on the bed. Iggy flew out of his cage and landed on my hand.

"Hi Iggy." I said, stroking his fur in between in wings.

"Life's been pretty hard for you to, hasn't it boy." 

In reply, Iggy spun around in a circle before laying down in my hand like a dog, which made me smile and think of Amy.

"Your lucky, you know that?" I asked, gently setting him down on a pillow.

"You don't have to worry about the world you know falling apart and it all being your fault."

Iggy just stared at me with his big eyes, which made my smile bigger.

"You should take a nap, you've been flying around for a long time." 

Iggy gladly closed his eyes and drifted into sleep, snoring very loud.

I walked out of my room and down to the kitchen where Edaline and Della were cooking.

"Hi Sophie." Edaline said, coming over to check on me.

"What's for lunch?" I asked, as Edaline gave me a small hug.

"Fluff stew." Edaline said, helping me sit on one of the islands chairs.

"Don't worry, it tastes better than it sounds." Della said.

I smiled as the three of us talked about what types of food the elves had, because I still didn't know what they were called. As we were talking, Fitz came downstairs with a jacket that he was putting on as he came downstairs, but as he put it on a small part of his shirt lifted up revealing part of Fitz's abs which made me blush slightly.

"Oh hey Sophie! Didn't think you'd be down here." Fitz said, giving me a hug and a quick kiss on the check.

"I don't have much to do so I thought I'd come down."

"And get early dibs on lunch." Edaline said, mixing some chopped up purple vegetable into the stew.

"You look like your heading out." Della said to Fitz, as Fitz sat down next to me and held my hand under the counter.

"Some old friends asked if I could catch up."

"Are you going now?" Della asked while handing Edaline some weird blue powder looking ingredient.

"I still got about ten minutes before I need to go." Fitz answered, looking at his watch.

"And your getting food with your friends?" Della asked.

"Yes mom." Fitz said.

"Alright, just making sure. Also, your father wants to meet with you some time today. He said 1:15 would be a good time."

"Sure." Fitz said starting to stand up but not letting go of my hand.

"Hey, I was wondering if me and you could talk soon, do you think we could go into the living room before I leave?" Fitz asked.

"Sure thing." I said, reaching for my crutches, but they were just out of my reach.

"Ugh, mom, you gotta put the crutches closer to me so I can reach them."
