Note: This Fanfic takes place after Legacy and also I’m a multi-shipper so I ship both Fitzphie and Sokeefe, but I don’t know if this will be a Sokeefe or Fitzphie (probably Sokeefe though)
==Prologue: Gaberian==
I’m in our room when she comes in. My wife, Elanora Smith. 
“Gaberian!” she grins. “I have great news!” I smile at her sadly. 
You have to tell her. 
“What is it, darling?” I ask. 
“I’m pregnant!” she exclaims. I stare at her, shocked. She can’t be pregnant. This will ruin everything. 
“That’s great.” I say trying to sound as enthusiastic and happy as her. She frowns. 
“Is something wrong?” she asks. 
Clearly I didn’t sound happy or enthusiastic. What do I say? I sigh, deciding that I’ll go with the truth. 
“I have something to tell you.” I say. She looks at me, concern in her eyes. 
“Is everything okay?” she asks worriedly. 
“I’ve lied to you.” I start. She looks at me, shocked and confused. 
“What?” she asks. 
“I’m not from Wisconsin, I’m from somewhere else.” I continue. 
“So what?” she laughs. “It doesn’t change anything.” 
“Yes it does.” I say, avoiding her eyes. 
“It doesn’t. So you lied about where your from, I still love you.” she says. 
“It’s not just where I’m from, it’s what I am.” I say. 
“What are you talking abot Gaberian?” she asks me, confused once more. 
“I’m an elf.” I say. 
She laughs.“You’re joking, right?” she asks, thinking this is all just a prank. 
“No, I’m telling the truth. I’m an elf.” I repeat. 
“Oh yeah? Prove it then.” she says, doubtful. 
“Alright.” I reply, focusing on the lamp that rests on our bedside table, slowly it floats into the air. Elanora screams, moving away from the lamp. “You said you wanted proof.” I say, smiling sadly. 
“You did that!?” she asks. 
“Yes, like I told you I’m an elf.” I answer. 
“It doesn’t change anything.” she says stubbornly. That’s one of the things I love about her, she never changes her mind easily. 
“It does, because I can’t be here.” I say. 
“Why?” she asks. 
“It’s forbidden.” I answer. 
“Well that’s just stupid.” she says. I laugh sadly. 
“It is.” I agree. 
“Well, if you agree to that I think you’ll agree to answering a few questions.” she says. 
“I shouldn’t.” I tell her. 
“You can’t leave me here with unanswered questions.” she says. 
I sigh and smile sadly. “Only a few.” I tell her. 
==Chapter 1: Chloe==
Chloe sat on a bench out in front of the school. Where was her mom, she was late sometimes but never this late. 
“You’re still here?” A voice asked behind her. Chloe turned around and found two friendly faces looking back at her. 
It was her two best friends, Mike and Elizabeth Wescott. “Hi guys.” she greeted them. 
“You’re still here?” Mike repeated. 
“Yup, my mom's late.” she explained. 
“I know, she’s always late, but all the after school activities are done.” Elizabeth said. “Maybe there’s traffic.” 
Chloe’s mother usually got stuck in traffic, maybe today there was more traffic than usually. 
“You wanna ride home with us?” Mike asked. 
“I’ll just wait for my mom.” Chloe said. 
“Okay, see you tomorrow then.” Elizabeth said, heading over to her mom's car. 
“You sure you don’t wanna come with us?” Mike asked. 
“No, but thanks for the offer.” she said, politely declining. 
“Well, see you tomorrow I guess.” he said, heading towards the car. 
----
Another hour. 
That’s how long Chloe waited for her mom on the bench. Soon after Elizabeth and Mike left, Chloe started on her homework. She’d finished her math, science and English homework by the time her mom came. 
“I'm so sorry for being late hon.” She apologized. 
“That’s okay.” Chloe said, getting into the passenger seat. 
“I promise that won’t ever happen again.” she assured her. 
“Let’s just... go home, Mom.” Chloe replied as she buckled in. 
“Alright.” Her mom replied, and they set off towards home. 
==Chapter 2: Sophie==
Sophie sat by Keefe’s bed in the healing center, watching him. 
Would he wake up? Was he okay? Would something happen when he woke up? Could things go back to normal? What had Lady Gisela done to Keefe? 
She look down at Keefe. Why had he came to Loanmore? Why had he risked his life? 
Then Sophie asked herself the worst question of all: Will he wake up at all? 
She blinked away the tears welling up in her eyes. Keefe would wake up, he had to. 
But what if he didn’t? What would she do then? No don’t think that. Keefe would wake up. 
“Still hasn’t woke up?” Elwin asked as he entered the healing center. 
“No.” Sophie sighed. Elwin let out a tired breath. 
Sophie wondered how he must feel. Did he feel guilty, that he wasn’t able to wake Keefe up? Did he think it was his fault Keefe was still asleep? Did he think he wasn’t working hard enough? 
“He’ll wake up eventually.” Sophie told him. 
“I know,” Elwin replied. “I just wish I knew exactly when.” Then he walked into his lab area, leaving Sophie alone with Keefe again. 
==Chapter 3: Chloe==
“It’s somewhere in here.” Chloe’s mother said, digging around in her purse looking for her house keys. 
Chloe sighed, reaching into her pocket to get her own keys. “Here, use mine.” She said, offering the keys to her mom. 
“Thank you honey, I’m a mess today.” She said, taking her keys to unlock the front door. 
“Aren’t you always a mess?” Chloe asked teasingly. 
Her mom laughed, turning the doorknob. “Go do your homework Chloe, I’ll cook dinner.” 
“Alright mom.” Chloe said, heading up the stairs. 
----
“Dinner’s ready.” Her mom called. 
Chloe put the bookmark in her book, and ran downstairs. “What are we having tonight?” She asked, sitting down. 
“Mac and cheese.” Her mother announced, as if mac and cheese was a rare dish. 
“Again?” Chloe complained. 
“Don’t you like Mac and cheese?” Her mom asked. 
“Of course I do, but... we have it almost every night.” Chloe explained. 
“Well we’ll have something different tomorrow night. then” Her mom promised. 
“Okay.” Chloe sighed, smiling tiredly. 
==Chapter 4: Sophie==
”Miss Foster?” Sophie turned around. 
“Mr. Forkle?” She asked, surprised. Mr. Forkle usually appeared as Magnate Leto at Foxfire. 
“What are you doing here?” She asked. 
“I must discuss something with you.” He replied. "It's very urgent.' 
“Um, alright.” She said, getting up. 
“Let’s head over to my office.” 
----
“What do you need to tell me?” Sophie asked. 
“The Black Swan has been monitoring the forbidden cities.” He started. “We’re afraid the Neverseen might attack the humans. We looked for anything that the Neverseen might have left.” 
“Why did you need to discuss this with me?” She asked. 
“Because,” He paused. “We think we’ve found another elf in the forbidden cities.” 
==Chapter 5: Chloe==
Blood. That’s what she saw. So. Much. Blood. In her dreams, Chloe saw hundreds of scenes. 
A handsome blonde boy fighting an ape like creature, a beautiful brunette girl in a pool of blood, a different boy being impaled by a large bug thing. Scene after scene. And all Chloe could do was watch. Watch them bleed. Watch them in hurt.
Chloe woke up, gasping. She swung her legs over the side of the bed, stood up slowly and headed towards her door. 
What a horrible dream. 
She turned the doorknob, opening the door. She walked out, slowly closing the door behind her. She walked down the stairs, deep in thought, questions filling her mind. 
Where had that dream come from? What horrible movie or book caused it? And why had it felt so... real? As if those things had actually happened.
==Chapter 6: Sophie==
“We think we’ve found another elf in the forbidden cities.” 
Another elf. 
Another elf. 
Another elf. 
Another elf. 
Another elf. 
The words echoed through Sophie’s head. Was it possible? Could there be another elf like her? Did she have a lot of abilities too? Hundreds of questions raced through her head. 
“I’m sure you have many questions Miss Foster and you will get answers, but I’m afraid I cannot give the answers now.” Mr. Forkle said before she could ask anything. 
“You can’t just bring me to your office, tell me you’ve found another elf in the forbidden, and say I can’t have answers!” Sophie exclaimed. 
“You can have answers, but not now.” Mr. Forkle said. 
“Why not?” She demanded. 
“I have many things to do and I believe Squall should be the one to tell you, she did find the elf after all.” Mr. Forkle answered. 
“Can I at least ask one question?” She asked. 
Mr. Forkle sighed. “Alright.” He agreed. 
Sophie thought for a minute. What should she ask? 
“What’s their name?” She finally asked. 
“Chloe Smith.” 
==Chapter 7: Unknown (Special Chapter)==
“They know about the girl?!” Gisela roared. “Yes.” He answered calmly. Gisela curled her hands into fists, making her already pale skin paler. She took a deep breath. “How long have they known?” She asked, calmer this time. “A few days, three at the most.” He replied. “Do they know what she is?” She asked. “They think she’s fully an elf.” Gisela smiled. He hated her smile, hated her cruel calculating eyes, hated her evil ways. But he had to do this. To help the girl, to help Gaberian. “Tell Ruy and Gethen it’s time.” Gisela ordered. “Am I going to be part of the retrieval?” He asked. He had to be or else this wouldn’t work. Or else he wouldn’t question her, or be near her at all. He had to be pat of the retrieval. “Yes.” She answered. Relief filled him, the plan would work. He stood up and headed towards the door. “Oh we’re not done yet.” He stopped. “Shouldn’t I tell-” “Not yet.” She interrupted. “Sit back down.” He obeyed, heading back to his chair. “You’ll be able to go soon, don’t worry.” She assured. “What else do you want to know?” He asked. “Is the elixir and machine completed?” She asked. “Yes, now may I go?” “Not yet, pull the picture of the girl back onto the screen.” He took his phone pulling a picture onto the screen. Gisela had gotten human technology for them to help them plan. The picture appeared on the screen. A beautiful 15 year old girl stood with two of her friends. She had her long wavy black hair in a ponytail, she wore denim shorts, and a blue tank top that matched her sea blue eyes. He had memorized this picture. He had memorized every detail, from the black freckles sprinkled across her face to her mismatched socks. Gisela smiled at the picture. “Make sure you get this girl, we can’t afford to make any mistakes.” “Will do.” He replied, getting up to help plan the girls kidnapping. 
==Chapter 8: Chloe==
“Would you like to teach Ms. Smith, since you think you’re know enough to sleep through my lecture?” The voice of Mrs. Lorman woke Chloe up. “Sorry Mrs. Lorman, I didn’t get much sleep last night.” Chloe said apologetically. “Well that’s what happens when you don’t go to sleep on time.” Mrs. Lorman replied. “That’s not why I’m tired.” Chloe said defensively. She was not going to be lectured in front of all these people. “Then why are you tired Ms. Smith?” Mrs. Lorman asked. “I had a bad dream.” Chloe answered, regretting that reply when Kyle Thomas snickered behind her. The only good thing was that Mrs. Lorman turned her attention to Kyle, ending their conversation. “Something funny Mr. Thomas?” She asked, turning her glare from Chloe to Kyle. “No, Mrs. Lorman.” Kyle replied politely. “Alright then.” Mrs. Lorman headed back to the front of the classroom, continuing her lecture. 
“How was science?” Mike asked, sitting next to Chloe. “Fine, where’s Liz?” “Detention.” Mike answered. “Ready for the test in English?” He asked. Chloe sighed. She’d forgotten about the test. She wasn’t worried about failing, she had a photographic memory and she was very intelligent, she was just annoyed she had to try and get an A or a B and not an A+. Chloe had learned this at a very young age. She was intelligent and should skip grades, but that would attract attention and Chloe hated attention. Chloe remembered that another girl had been a twelve year old high school senior. That had caused so much attention and Chloe didn’t want to be like the girl. Especially because the girl had never been in an article again. She’d just disappeared. Never mentioned of again. Chloe had wondered what happened to the girl, but she never found out, so eventually she gave up. “You still there?” Mike asked. Chloe realized she hadn’t answered his question. “Yeah just worried about the test.” She lied. Mike didn’t seem convinced but just then the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. “We’ll I’ve gotta go.” She threw her trash away and headed towards the next class. 
==Chapter 9: Sophie==
Chloe Smith. The name swam through Sophie’s mind as she lay in bed. What would this girl be like? How would she react to finding out she wasn’t human? Would she be nice? How would she feel about leaving her parents? Questions swam through Sophie’s head along with the name. Would taking her away to live with the elves hurt her? Would she refuse to come? What would they do then? Sophie didn’t want to hurt this girl. She didn’t want to take her away from her parents, didn’t want to erase her or fake her death, didn’t want to ruin her life. Would this ruin her life? Sophie didn’t know any of the answers to these questions, only knew they had to get the girl. To protect the secrecy of the elves. To protect the girl. 
==Chapter 10: Chloe==
"Can I talk to yo about something?” Mike asked. School had ended, Mike and Chloe were waiting for there parents, Elizabeth was in detention. “Sure.” Chloe answered. “Well, Chloe, I um, like you.” Mike started awkwardly. “I know.” Chloe answered. “We’re friends.” “Well, I um, really-” “My mom's here, you can tell me later.” Chloe cut in, standing up and heading towards her mom’s car. “Oh, um, bye.” Mike said. Chloe hoped what he had to tell her wasn’t that important. She climbed into her mom’s silver Volvo, and buckled her seatbelt. 
“What were you two talking about?” Chloe’s mom asked. “Nothing of importance.” Chloe answered. “Alright. You know, Mike is a really nice boy, maybe-” Chloe cut in before her mother said anything else embarrassing. “No mom, I don’t like him like that.” If her mom continued this conversation, Chloe would die. Thankfully her mom changed the subject instead. “I need to talk to you.” “About what?” Chloe asked. Her mom took a deep breath and said, “we’re moving.” 
==Chapter 11: Sophie (A few hours earlier)==
“Miss Foster, I must talk to you about something urgent.” Those were only the words that started the conversation, it only got worse from there. Mr. Forkle continued. “One of our members has told us that,” Mr. Forkle paused. “The Neverseen are planning on kidnapping Chloe Smith.” “What!?” Sophie’s heart skipped a beat. The Neverseen were kidnapping the girl. The other elf raised by humans. “In a few hours they will strike.” “We’ve got to stop them.” Sophie said, standing up. “We will, but first we must make a plan.” Mr. Forkle said. “The Neverseen are going to kidnap someone and you’re wasting time!” Sophie demanded. “Not wasting, using.” Mr. Forkle corrected. “We don’t have time.” Sophie argued. “We do, and we will make a plan.” The tone Mr. Forkle used said, don’t argue with me. So, Sophie sighed and gave up. He was right. Every time they went up against the Neverseen, they lost. And those were when they had plans, she couldn’t imagine if they didn’t have one. “Fine, we’ll make a plan.” 
==Chapter 12: Chloe==
We’re moving. The word echoed through Chloe’s head. “We’re moving?” Chloe asked slowly, uncomprehendingly. “Yes.” Her mother answered. “Why?” “Well, because-” Her mom broke off mid sentence, narrowing her eyes to see something in the distance. A few seconds later her eyes widened. “Chloe, listen to me very, very, carefully.” This panic and worry in her mother’s voice snapped Chloe out of her shock about moving. “Soon, I’m going to open the passenger door, your door, and you’re going to jump out.” “What!?” Chloe asked. She was most definitely not jumping out of a moving vehicle. “Do what I say Chloe.” “No, it’s insane.” “It’s for your safety.” Right, jumping out of a moving car was very safe. Her mother sighed. “Chloe, please do it.” The words didn’t convince Chloe, her mother’s tone did. The way she said it, like she had no hope left. “Alright, mom.” Chloe agreed begrudgingly. Her mother sighed in relief. “Okay, soon, I’ll open the door, but before you go you need this.” She handed Chloe a letter. “Don’t read it yet Chloe, and avoid black cloaked people.” “Um, okay.” Chloe then saw something orange and bright in the distance. It was moving as if it were dancing. Once they got closer Chloe recognized it. Something her mother told her to avoid all her life. Fire. 
== Chapter 13: Sophie ==
”Is this the write place?” Biana asked, looking at the plain alley. “According to our spy, yes.” Livvy answered. “Really?” Biana asked skeptically. “Livvy is right.” Juline said. Juline was Dex’s mom and a member of the collective, and Livvy was the Black Swan’s physician. They hadn’t come as Squall and Physic, because to humans a person fully covered in ice, and another wearing an unnecessary mask, would be weird. Especially a person covered in ice. “If this is where we’re supposed to be, then where are the Neverseen?” Dex asked. “Maybe we’re early?” Sophie suggested doubtfully. “Yeah, I don’t think so.” Tam said. “Maybe we’re…” Linh trailed off, unable to think of anything. “The Neverseen could be late.” Livvy suggested. “Or we could’ve been misled.” Sophie suggested quietly. Nobody answered, fearing that Sophie was correct. “Let’s just hide and wait for someone to show up.” Juline said. Everyone nodded in agreement, then hid. 
“Do you think they’ll actually come?” Biana whispered. They were hiding behind a dumpster with Linh. “I don’t care as long as we can get away from this stench.” Linh answered, pinching her nose. “I hope so. We have to capture them before they can kidnap Chloe.” “Who’s Chloe?” Biana asked. Sophie had told them about the other elf, but she hadn’t told them her name. She’d wanted to keep it to herself a little longer. “The other elf living in the forbidden cities.” Sophie answered. “You didn’t tell us her name.” Linh said. “Yeah, why didn’t you?” Biana asked, but before Sophie could answer, she heard voices. Familiar voices. Gethen and Ruy. 
==Chapter 14: Chloe==
“Mom there’s a fire ahead! You have to turn around! We can’t drive into the fire!” Chloe yelled. “Chloe do you have your letter?” Her mom asked. “Mom, please turn the car around.” Chloe couldn’t believe her mother was more worried about a letter. She was driving straight towards fire. “Do you have the letter?” Chloe’s mother asked more forcefully. Chloe’s nodded. “Yeah, I do.” “I’m going to unlock the passenger door. When I do, jump as soon as you can.” “No. I’m not letting you drive into the fire!” Chloe exclaimed. Chloe couldn’t believe what was happening. Her mother wanted her to jump out of the car while she drove into fire. What was happening? “So what I say.” Her mom ordered. “But-” her mother cut her off. “Do it.” Chloe nodded. She took a deep breath. “Can’t you just stop the car?” Chloe asked. “That would look suspicious.” Her mother answered. “Suspicious to who?” She demanded. Her mother was scaring and confusing her. She heard a click as the passenger door unlocked. “Go.” Her mother ordered. Chloe took a deep breath, opened the door, and jumped.
==Chapter 15: Sophie==
”You have the matches, right?” Gethen asked. “Yeah.” Ruy answered. ‘Matches?’ Biana mouthed. I’ll tell you later, Sophie transmitted . Sophie heard something fall. “Light it.” Gethen ordered. What was happening? What had fallen? Sophie peeked out a little bit from the side of the dumpster. Sophie saw three figurures with black cloaks. Two were Gethen and Ruy, but the third had their hood up. Ruy had lit a match and was heading to the middle of the road. Spilled on the road was gasoline. A lot of gasoline. Sophie gasped. And Ruy paused. Sophie scooted back to hide behind the dumpster. “Someone is here. Check the area for spies.” Ruy ordered. He backed away and threw the match on the gasoline starting a fire. Biana’s eyes widened in fear as they heard footsteps approaching their dumpster. Biana looked to Sophie. ‘Should we run?’ She mouthed. Sophie knew this was probably their only option. She nodded.
Sophie, Linh, and Biana jumped out from behind the dumpster, surprising the Neverseen. Biana vanished and reappeared on top of Gethen. She held a dagger to his neck and asked menacingly, “What do you want with Chloe.” Before Gethen said anything Biana got nocked of him by Ruy. Biana dropped her dagger and Ruy picked it up. He pulled Biana to her feet and pressed the dagger against her throat. “Try anything funny and your little friend dies.” Ruy hissed. “Let her go.” Fitz yelled. Sophie turned around and saw the others. While Biana had attacked they must have come out from their hiding places. “After we complete our mission maybe we’ll return her.” Gethen replied. “And what is your mission?” Juline asked. “Isn’t it obvious?” Gethen asked. “You’re hear to kidnap Chloe.” Sophie said. “Kidnap is such a harsh word.” Ruy said. “We don’t like to think of it as kidnapping and more like returning her to her father.” “You kidnapped her parents too!?” Linh demanded. “Parent.” Gethen corrected. “After this, her mother will probably die.” “But, aren’t her parents elves?” Tam asked, clearly confused. Sophie was confused too. Wasn’t Chloe an elf? If she was a human why would the Neverseen want her? “You don’t know?” Gethen asked. “Know what?” Fitz demanded. Gethen and Ruy just laughed. “We’d love to keep talking but we have to go.” Gethen said. “Keep them busy, will ya?” Ruy asked the stranger. The stranger nodded. Then Ruy suddenly threw Biana into the air using telekinesis. Biana fell and Fitz caught her, placing her down gently. Once Biana was with them the stranger thrust out their hands and shadowflux created a dome around them. Ruy and Gethn left. “Tam can you control the shadow stuff?” Dex asked. Tam closed his eyes and concentrated. Sophie hoped he could. They had to save Chloe. They couldn’t let the Neverseen take her. After about a minute Tam opened his eyes. “I can’t control it. The shadows only listen to him.” Sophie couldn’t believe how fast they’d failed. Chloe’s was out there and they were stuck in here, unable to help her.
==Chapter 16: Chloe==
Fear filled Chloe as she jumped. She winced as she hit the ground. She sat up and blinked. She’d jumped out of a car. A moving car. And she was still alive. She looked at the car. Her mother was going faster towards the fire. Driving towards it as if her life depended on it. Which was crazy because she’d die. Chloe got up and ran after the car. “Mom! What are you doing!? Stop the car!” She yelled. “Stop the car! Mom, please stop the car!” She begged, but it was no use. The car didn’t slow down. Chloe stopped and watched as her mother drove into the flames. Chloe backed away from the flames in case the car exploded. She didn’t know if that could really happen but it might. At least according to the movies. Tears streamed down her face. She’d just let her mom die. What kind of person did that? “I love you mom.” She whispered. “Well that’s so sweet.” A voice said behind her. Chloe turn d around almost falling in the process. In front of her were two men in black cloaks. One of them was blond with piercing blue eyes, and the other had dark hair and eyes some shade of blue. Chloe couldn’t really see his face. “Who are you guys?” She asked. The blonde man smiled. “Just come with us.” He said. Something bothered Chloe. Something her mother had said. Chloe couldn’t remember. Something about avoiding people. What kind of people? Chloe looked at the men and finally remembered. Avoid people with black cloaks. That’s what her mother had told her. “Umm, I’m sorry I can’t go with random strangers.” Chloe said, backing away from the men. The blonde man frowned. “Then we’ll have to do things the hard way.” He said. Chloe backed up. “What do you mean?” She asked, trying not to let the fear leak into her voice. The men ignored her. “Sedate her.” The other man ordered. Chloe’s eyes widened. “What!? You can’t sedate me!” She shouted, but it was too late. The man blonde was coming at her with a cloth. He put it to Chloe’s nose and a disgustingly sweet scent filled her nose. Then before Chloe could fight back, the world went black.
==Chapter 17: Sophie==
“Let us out!” Sophie yelled. The stranger just stood there and ignored her. What were they going to do? Ruy and Gethen were going after Chloe and there was nothing they could do. There was also the issue that Chloe might not be an elf. What Gethen had said confused Sophie, and she couldn’t stop thinking about it. ‘You don’t know?’ Gethen had asked. What had he meant? What didn’t they know?
“Please let us out! You shouldn’t be working with the Neverseen. They’re evil. Join us instead. Join the Black Swan.” Linh said. The stranger ignored her too. “I’m going to try to control the shadows again.” Tam said.  He closed his eyes and concentrated again. While Tam tried to get them out Linh tried reasoning again. “Surely you don’t want to work with the bad guys? You could be doing good and actually helping the world if you joined us.” Linh said. “Yeah.” Biana agreed. The stranger still just stood , ignoring them, not saying a single word. Maybe the stranger was mute. Sophie didn’t know if there were mute elves but maybe there were. Maybe this was one of them. Maybe he’d joined the Neverseen because he was made fun of for being mute. Before Sophie could ask, Tam opened his eyes. “I can’t control them. This person has probably had a lot of training. He’s much stronger then I am. I’m sorry.” Biana smiled at him. “It’s okay. You tried your best. That’s all we can do: try our best.” Tam blushed slightly and smiled sadly. “Biana’s right.” Livvy said. “All we can do is try our best.” “Wait a minute.” Sophie realizing something. “Where are they!?” “What? Who?” Dex asked. “The shade.” Sophie exclaimed as she walked closer to the dome. The stranger was gone but the shadowflux dome. They were still trapped while the Neverseen were gone.
== Chapter 18: Chloe ==
Cold. That’s the first thing Chloe felt when she opened her eyes. Then her whole body started to ache. Her mind felt foggy. Then as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes, it all came back. Her mom. The fire. Men in black cloaks . The sickly sweet smell. Then darkness. Chloe couldn’t believe what had happened. She had gotten kidnapped. This had to be a dream. This had to be a dream so she could wake up and hug her mom. Hug her and tell her she loved her. But it wasn’t. This was reality. Painful, cruel reality. And Chloe couldn’t do a thing about it.
Chloe looked around the room she was trapped in. She was on a bed but there wasn’t a blanket. She had shackles around her right ankle. They had chained her? It wasn’t good enough they’d kidnapped her they had to chain her too? Chloe felt angry. Angry at her mom for leaving her. Angry at the men for taking her. Angry at how horrible her life was right now. But mostly, she was angry at herself. Angry for letting her mom drive into the fire, for not fighting against the men, and for being weak. Maybe if she’d argued with her mom more this wouldn’t have happened. Maybe if she’d struggled more she wouldn’t be here. But she was. And she wasn’t getting out anytime soon.
== Chapter 19: Sophie ==
Sophie sat outside next to Calla’s Panakes tree. The force field had disappeared and they had looked for the Neverseen. They didn’t find them anywhere. The force field probably disappeared when they leaped away. When they couldn’t find the Neverseen they had all went home. They were going to rest and regroup tomorrow. Sophie didn’t want to regroup tomorrow. She wanted to find Chloe today. Right now. She wanted to save her. She wanted to protect her. She didn’t want to sit hear and do nothing.
