The Songs were dragged in the Grand hall by Keefe and Glimmer. Lady Gesila glared at them and walked up to them.
"Do you know what I do with spy's?" Lady Gesila asked.
"What?" Tam responded raising a brow.
"We put the in our dungeons, let the person there spying for aware of the situation. And then we kill the spy's."
"And why are you telling us this my Lady?" Linh quizzed.
Lady Gesila slapped Linh across the face. "DO NOT TALK WITHOUT PERMISSION."
"Don't touch her you monster!" Tam screamed. "She asked a simple question! You can't slap people for asking questions!"
"Yes she can, and she does." Sophie heard Keefe mutter.
Lady Gasila spit in Tam's face. "You two are disgrace. I had high hopes for you both. Gards, take them away." Eight gards appeared and grabbed the silver tiped twins and dragged the out the door.
"Now," Lady Gesile whipped towards Keefe "What did you say earlier?"
The blood drained from Keefe's face, and he began to stutter.
She approached her son and slapped him across the face. Keefes head whipped the opposite direction, jaw clenched.
"Like told the twins, never speak without permission. Dismissed."
Keefe and Sophie walked out the Grand Hall, both there fists clenched.
"Are you okay?" Sophie asked.
"Yeah," Keefes voice broke. "Just fine."
"Keefe-" Sophie started.
"I'm fine alright!" He yelled, eyes watering.
Sophie wrapped her arms around his tall figure. He tensed for a bit but then relaxed into the hug.
"You can talk to me you know."
He sniffed "I know Foster, I know."
"Then why don't you?"
"I am scared to. I'm terrified that whenever I talk, I'll get slapped. I'm scared that everyone will tell me to shut up. Terrified that people will look at me differently. Because even when you're suffering, you have to act happy. Not for you're own sake, but for the people around you."
Sophie looked up, her own eyes watering. "That's why you joke around so much. To hide the pain? Oh Keefe, I'm so sorry."
Keefe shrugged and looked down at the blonde girl. He reached down a whipped a stray tear on her cheek.
Sophie bit her lip and tilted her head. She went up on her tippy toes and just as she was about to kiss him, water began to fall from the ceiling and a cold wind blew.
Sophie pulled away, ignoring the blush on a cheeks and screamed "What in mallowmelt is that?"
Keefes eyes widened eye looked her dead in the eye."Foster pull your hood and mask up. We're under-"
He didn't have time to finish his sentence before a giant explosion erupted.
(A/N: Yup, they almost kissed. Sophitz shippers beware.)
