When I left the living room to go to the leap master, my mind was fuzzy. All I could think about was the kiss. I walked the rest of the way in a daze, and when I got to the leap master I forced myself out of it so I could light leap to Eternalia. When I got there, I walked to the spot where me and my friends would be meeting. Once I got to the spot I saw Stina and two of her friends walking towards me.

"Hey Fitz." Stina said.

"Hey Stina." I said, not wanting to talk to her.

"What are you doing here?" Stina asked.

"Just waiting for some friends to show up."

"Oh, well, if they don't show up you can call me on your imparter and we can select a spot to meet up at."

"Thanks for the offer, but I'm good." I said trying to get out of the conversation.

"Oh come on. If having them around makes you uncomfortable me and you could go by ourselves."

"Thats actually not the problem."

Stina had a look of disappointment on her face, but she quickly smiled again.

"Then you should come with us! I'm sure your friends won't mind."

"Stina, I'm staying here. You can go and do what ever it is you were doing with your friends."

"Hmph." Stina said as she and her friends walked away.

I waited for about one more minute before my friends showed up and we walked to lunch.

~~~Time Skip~~~

I said goodbye to my friends and headed back home. I brought out my home crystal and leaped back to Everglen.

When I got home I checked my watch to see what time it was. 1:13. Perfect timing.

I headed inside the house and went up to my dads office. Once I got there I waited the extra minute so it would be 1:15 before knocking on the door.

"Come in!" I heard my dad yell so I opened the door.

"Hey dad. Mom said you wanted to meet with me."

"Why don't you come sit down Fitz."

So I went to go sit in one of the two chairs in front of my dads desk.

"Right on time as usual." My dad said, trying to steer clear of the topic.

"Is something wrong dad?" I asked.

"I'd like to say no, but I'm afraid there is."

"Whats going on?" I asked.

"Fitz, theres -" My dad never got to finish because there was a knock on the door.

"Come on in Sophie!" My dad called.

"Sophie?" I asked to my dad just before the door opened.

"Oh! Hi Fitz." Sophie said, looking at the floor.

"Have a seat Sophie."

"Is there something wrong Alden?" Sophie asked.

"I'm afraid so my dear. The Black Swan informed me this morning that they have been doing some research into the Neverseen, and found out how they knew you would be going to Havenfield to heal Keefe."

"How?" I asked.

My father sighed, before folding his hands on the desk and leaning forward just slightly.

"There's a spy."

"A spy!?" I yelled/asked.

"Now, calm down Fitz." My dad said.
