Keefe (I will switch views eventually)

Thiscannotbehappeningthiscannotbehappening, I think metally to myself.

"KEEFE SENCEN! YOU ARE IN SUCH BIG TROUBLE!" My dad yells

I cringe and look over at Foster who's at the moment hurling these bad feelings to my dad that says, you are the worst dad that could ever exist.

Thanks for the feelings Foster. I feel the same way. You could at least inflict on him while you're at it, I metally think again.

But of course she can't inflict on him. She's recovering from almost dying!

I definitely don't want Foster almost dying again.

Because that was a memory I would never forget.


A.N. - Flashback time! (based on what actually happened in Flashback by SM, just in Keefe's Point of View :


Keefe:

As soon as Dex hailed to me that Sophie had pressed her panic switch, I started to freak out.

He said that he had also hailed to Elwin to get his office ready for some injuries. So I had basically sprinted with Ro to the Healing Center, not even bothering to check my reflection in the mirror.

When that happens, you know I'm legit freaking out.

When I got there I found Dex's mom, Juline, already there brainstorming ways to punish Dex for not telling anyone where he was going. She had some particularly brutal ideas, which warned me never to get on Juline's bad side. I asked where Dex's dad was, and she said that he had stayed home with Rex, Bex, and Lex so they couldn't break everything.

We waited and waited for what felt like endless. And then Wylie finally showed up first, and he had Fitz, who was looking really blue. Bullhorn was screaming like crazy and not to mention, I think I was too. I stumbled over to Fitz, praying over and over again please don't make anyone dead, please don't make anyone dead.

Then Sandor tumbled in with Grizel and Louise who looked very beaten up. I waited for Foster and Dex to stumble in too, and when they didn't right away, I thought...

No Keefe. They were just lagging behind because Dex had to carry her. They ARE NOT dead.

Finally, Dex came stumbling in with Sophie draped over his shoulders with one of his arms crooked in a painful way. Juline was rushing over crying like crazy, telling Dex never to do that again. Dex then put Foster onto a cot while Elwin told him to drink the elixir on his desk for his arm.

I looked over at Foster.

Fitzy and Foster were both unconscious and in terrible pain, and because I was an Empath, I could feel what they were feeling.

And boy, it did not feel good.

Sophie was looking blue like Fitz, but instead of a peaceful sleep like Fitz had, her face was twisted up with stress, pain, agony, and horror as she laid there on the cot.

"Explain what happened," Elwin demanded Dex and Wylie

"Well... Fitz and the bodyguards got knocked out because I'm pretty sure Sophie inflicted, Sophie got knocked out because I think Umber broke her bones, and --

"But that doesn't say why Sophie and Fitz look so blue," he pointed out

"I don't know why Fitz is blue, because he was already knocked out by the time we came, but Sophie got hit with this black shadow arrow in the hand that Umber made ..."
