To the Forbidden Cities-A KOTLC Fanfiction

Chapter 1

A/N: YYYYAAAAY MY 2ND BOOK!!!! And remember, this is Keefe's point of view!

WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVEN'T READ NIGHTFALL.

"HEY FOSTER!" Keefe shouted. He waved at her. Keefe was at Foxfire, and he had plans to destroy Elvin History room someday. It was just about the WORST subject in the WORLD. 

Sophie sunk down. Many people turned to stare at her. When Sophie drew closer to Keefe, she hissed, "Keefe! Don't just yell "Hey Foster" in front of the whole school!" 

Keefe snorted. "I'm not yelling "Hey Foster" in front of the whole school! I yelling it in the school," he said.  "There's a big difference," Keefe added. 

"Whatever.  Just don't yell my name--I mean my last name in front of people. They still think I'm the "brown-eyed freak"." Sophie mumbled. 

"Oh you're not anything close to a freak," Keefe reasoned. "You just can't be one." 

Sophie blushed. But she cleared her throat. "Well we better go eat lunch. Let's go find the others, okay?" 

Keefe rolled his eyes, as he found a lunch table and Sophie went to go find Fitz, Biana, and Dex. 

For lunch, they had this red gooey stuff fixed with yellow and orange. It looked like some sort of fall food.  

"Hey Keefe!" Fitz sat next to him, with the others trailing behind. 

"Yo," Keefe greeted. 

"Since when did you say "Yo"?" Dex laughed. "Sounds like some sort of wrestler saying "Yo" to another wrestler and then punch his guts. Sophie told me about wrestlers," He added. 

"Foster told you about wrestlers and she didn't tell me?!" Keefe's eyes locked with Sophie. 

Fitz but in, "Sophie, you told Dex about wrestling and you didn't tell me?" 

"Boys," Biana muttered under her breath. 

"I heard that!" Fitz said sharply, looking at Biana in the eye.

"So? It's not like you can do something about being a boy!" Biana shrugged. "And that is just how boys are!" 

"Pfft! No! It's only Keefe...and sometimes Fitz. I'm the most mature boy here," Dex bragged.

"You are." Sophie agreed. 

Dex blushed. 

"Foster?! I wanna learn about wrestling!" Keefe interrupted. He waved his hand in front of Sophie's face. 

"How about later? Remember, right now, the Neverseen are planning to do something--and we don't know yet.  Mr. Forkle told us they had been planning something but don't know yet. We have to be prepared," Sophie said firmly. 

Keefe pouted. But Sophie was right ; the Neverseen was more important than wrestling. The Neverseen had been Keefe and his friends--the Black Swan's enemy for a year or two. He couldn't bear to think about losing against the Neverseen. 

"Guys, we should thwart the Neverseen's plan. Who knows how much trouble it's going to be?" Biana said. She picked at her food. 

"Well, duh we're going to thwart it. And I bet it's going to be a looooot of trouble," Fitz added.  

"Guys!" Dex hissed. "We shouldn't be talking about these stuff! Anyone could be eavesdropping!" 

"Dex is right. After school ends, let's go to Havenfield and discuss more about this later," Sophie said, throwing her lunch away.  

Keefe purposely bumped into Sophie.  "See ya later Foster," he smirked. 

"See you at Havenfield," Sophie nodded.  "And be careful!"

*****

After school, Keefe light leaped to Sophie's house. Fitz, Biana, Tam, Linh, and Dex were all already there.

"What took you so long?" Tam asked.  "We waited nearly 15 minutes, and had to listen to Fitz complaining something about this Tiergan guy." 

"I was at school, Bangs Boy," Keefe hmphed. "And who invited him here?" 

Sophie coughed. "Tam, -and Linh are members of the Black Swan in case you didn't know. Everyone should be in this meeting if they're in the Black Swan," she said. 

"But isn't Marella and Maruca in the Black Swan too?" Dex pointed out. 

"We're getting off topic here. So, any ideas of what the Neverseen might be planning?" Biana questioned everyone. 

"They might be planning another attack," Linh said shyly. 

"Or something totally different," Dex added. "It could be something they have never done-or, maybe something that is kind of out of the question? I think that's why it's taking so long to plan." 

"Maybe. But why would  the Neverseen do something like that? Whatever they do, they always hurt us or someone else," Sophie pointed out. 

"True. But it isn't impossible that they are thinking of something else," Biana said. 

"I don't know why we're discussing this, because we have no clue what the Neverseen is planning so what help does having a wee conversation going to do something about it?" Keefe spoke up. 

Sophie sighed. "It's called being  prepared of whatever the Neverseen is going to do, Keefe. Didn't I tell you?" 

Keefe shook his head. "Either that, or I wasn't listening," he said. 

"I'm sure I told you," Sophie said in a frustrated tone. 

Keefe grinned. "Whatever you say, Foster!" He stopped grinning and stood up. "Anyway, I better go.  My dad wants me to clean his statue today, so I guess I better do it," He groaned. 

"Have fun!" Tam winked. 

Keefe gritted his teeth and light leaped to his house.
