== Note ==
this is after the mini story in Unlocked don’t read if you don’t want spoilers also there will be blood/violence
== Chapter 1: Sophie ==
Sophie walked into her room. She was tired after they had raided the Neverseen storehouse, but Mr. Forkle had wanted to talk to her. She collapsed onto her bed wanting to go to sleep as soon as she could, but suddenly something caught her eye. She looked over at Iggy snoring asleep in his cage, but something was different. Iggy’s fur. It had definitely changed since the last time she saw him. She got up and walked over to examine him more closely. Then she saw a note under the cage. She lifted the cage so she could read the note. And what she read made her feel shocked and miserable:
To the Mysterious Miss F!
Ugh, I’m already regretting starting this letter that way. But I don’t have any extra paper, and crossing it out would look worse, so... I guess we’ll just have to add that to my list of mistakes.
And I know you’re going to think that everything I’m about to say should also be on that long list of Keefe Fails. But I swear- that’s NOT what this is. I’m not trying to fix everything or save everyone this time. I’m just trying to make sure I don’t hurt anyone.
I can’t tell you more than that without putting you in danger, so just... trust me when I say that the powers my mom gave me are super bad. There seriously aren’t strong enough words to explain how horrible they are. AND I CAN’T control them- just like I can’t stop my mom from forcing me to use them.
So... this is the only way. I don’t want to do it. But I have to. And I’m not going to ask you not to hate me. In fact, it might be better if you do, because I need you to PROMISE that you won’t try to find me. My mom will be waiting for you to track me down- and since I know how stubborn you are, I want to make sure you understand who you’d be putting in danger. 
I’m going to be hiding the same way the Black Swan hid you.
That’s why you have to stay away. Well, there are lots of reasons. So again, please, just... trust me, okay?
And since this is the last time I’ll ever talk to you, I just... I want to say that I’m really going to miss you. You mean a lot to me, Foster. More than you’ll ever know.
Pleas be careful. Please be happy. And PLEASE forget all about me.
It’ll be better for everyone that way. You’ll see.
Love, Keefe
Sophie just stared at the letter, her eyes welling with tears. She sat back on her bed and started to cry.
== Chapter 2: Kira ==
Kira sat on a couch in her living room, listening to her best friend tell a story. “And that’s how it happened.” Jenny said, finishing the story. “Wow sooo interesting.” Kira said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Jenny glared at her and said “Thanks for the commentary.” Kira just glared back. “Is this going to turn into a big argument?” Tom, Jenny’s brother, asked. “Cause I don’t wanna be a part if that.” “It’ll only turn into an argument if she turns it into one.” Kira replied. “Let’s just go outside.” Jenny said, getting up and walking to the door. “Alright.” Tom said, getting up. “Wait for me!” Kira said as Jenny opened the door. The trio walked out the door, heading to the park.
It was windy at the park, a nice cool breeze that kept Kira the perfect temperature. “Race you to that swings!” Jenny said, running over to the swing set. “No fair, you got a head start!” Kira said chasing after her, with Tom right behind them. Kira stopped once she reached the swing set, and sat onto the swing next to Jenny’s. “What took you so long?” Jenny said, slowly swinging next to Kira. Kira just rolled her eyes and started swinging. “Next time we race,” Tom said, finally joining them. “we actually race fairly.” “You’re just being a sore loser.” Jenny replied. Tom rolled his eyes and said “Sure I am.”
The three just sat there, swinging and talking. Another normal day. Kira smiled as they talked. This day might’ve been boring to another person, but to her it was perfect.
== Chapter 3: Fitz ==
Fitz sat on his bed, reading an elvin history book. When they'd left Tiergan's house he'd went to read in his room, to take his mind of things. "Fitz?" Someone asked from his doorway. Fitz looked up to see Biana. "Do you know why Sophie's not answering her imparter?" She asked, looking worried. "She's probably asleep." Fitz answered, looking back at his book. "I guess that makes sense." Biana said, still looking worried. "I'll go hail Dex." She said, walking out the door. Fitz turned his attention back to his book and continued reading.
== Chapter 4: Jenny ==
Jenny watched as the sky turned darker. "We should probably head back." She said. "Let's go." Kira said, getting up. Jenny got of the swing, and followed Tom up the path that led to their house. "Bye Jenny!" Kira called heading up on the path that led to her house. "Bye Kira!" Jenny called back.
At home Tom and Jenny were greeted by their parents. "How was your day?" Their dad asked. "It was great." Tom answered. "Yup." Jenny agreed, heading towards the stairs. "Where're you going kiddo?" Dad asked. "I'm gonna go to bed." Jenny answered. "Aren't you hungry?" Mom asked. "We ate at the park." She replied. "Good night then."
She climbed up the stairs and walked into her room. She opened her closet door and got out shorts and a t-shirt. She closed the door to her room and dressed into her pajamas as quickly as she could, turned off the lights and climbed into bed, not wanting to brush her teeth. She lay in bed for a few minutes thinking about the day and soon she was asleep.
== Chapter 5: Biana ==
Biana left Fitz's room to hail Dex. She opened her room's door, picked up her imparter, and sat down on her bed. "Show me Dex." She said. Almost instantly, Dex's face popped up on her screen. "Hey Biana." He said. "Hi Dex." She replied. "What're you doing?" She asked. "I'm currently working on a gadget for Keefe." He answered. "Oh, ok." "Is there any reason you called?" He asked. Biana blushed a little. "I just wanted to say hi." she answered, looking down at her feet. "Anyway, have you tried hailing Sophie?" She asked, changing the subject. Dex frowned, looking concerned. "No, is something wrong?" He asked. "No, just wondering." Biana said. The worry on Dex's face faded. "Oh, ok. She's probably just asleep." He said. "That's what Fitz said." She told him. "Really?" He asked. "Oh no." "What?" Biana asked, worriedly. "I'm beginning to sound like Wonderboy." He answered, looking horrified. Biana laughed. "What's so funny?" He asked, still looking horrified. Biana just kept laughing. Dex smiled at her. "I should probably go." He said. "Bye." She said as her screen went dark.
== Chapter 6: Tom ==
Blood. Bright red blood. That's what Tom saw. He saw a girl on the floor, bleeding, cuts all over her arms. He saw a pale woman, cutting the girl with a shard of glass. He watched the girl scream in pain. He watched her bleed. He couldn't help her. He could only watch.
Tom woke up in a cold sweat. He breathed heavily. Just a dream. Just some horrible dream. He kept assuring himself that it was all a dream. Nothing more. He lay back in his bed, closing his eyes. Just a dream. But as much as he assured himself, he couldn't get the image of the girl out of his head.
== Chapter 7: Unknown ==
"Are we ready?" He asked. "Yes." She replied. This must be done. She glanced at the telepath. This has to be done. They sent the boy the memory. He probably thought it was only a dream. Now they could take him. "I'll tell Ruy to get him." "Alright." This has to be done. This has to be done. She kept repeating that in her head. If she wanted to see him again this had to be done. Good, she thought, watching the telepath leave. No one should see her like this. She sank down to the floor, thinking of all her memories with him. Her and him in his bedroom, her telling a story while he laughed. Her and him at midterms, celebrating his success. Her and him watching the sunset on the beach. For the first time since he was taken, she relived her memories with him. And since the first time since he was taken, she let herself cry.
== Chapter 8: Jenny ==
"You ok?" Jenny asked, looking at Tom. He looked horrible. He had dark circles under his eyes, his chocolate brown hair was messier than usual, and he was having a hard time focusing. "Fine." He replied immediately. She looked at him skeptically. "You sure about that?" She asked. He nodded. "Well, I'm going to Kira's, you wanna come?" She asked. This was a test. Jenny knew how Tom felt about Kira, if he didn't want to come then something was definitely wrong. "I think I'm going to stay home today." He responded. "Ok, well, bye." She said, heading towards the front door. Jenny had to figure out what was wrong with Tom. This wasn't normal, and it was scaring her.
== Chapter 9: Sophie ==
Sophie sat on her bed. She had read Keefe's letter only yesterday, but it felt like years since she found out he'd left. Why had he left? It wouldn't help anyone. The only thing his absence did was hurt her. Sophie grabbed the letter, wanting to read it again. How many times had she read this? How many times had this hurt her? This time she read it something changed. She noticed something. At the end Keefe had wrote 'Love, Keefe'. Why did this catch her attention? She had read this letter so many times, almost memorized it, but only now she noticed the end. Why did this make her heart throb even more? Why did the pain increase? And then she realized it. Sophie noticed the ending because she loved Keefe. Not as a friend but as more. She loved Keefe, and he loved her too. He had wrote 'Love, Keefe' instead of anything else because he loved her too. She loved him. He loved her. And maybe that love could help her find him. For the first time since Sophie had found out Keefe left she felt hope.
== Chapter 10: Kira ==
Kira ran to the door as soon as she herd Jenny knock. "Hi Jen!" She greeted as she opened the door. "Hi." Jenny mumbled. Kira instantly knew something was wrong, Jenny never mumbled. "Come in." Kira said, moving out of the way so Jenny could walk in. Jenny slowly walked inside, took her shoes off, placed them neatly of to the side, and headed towards the living room. "Are you ok?" Kira asked, sitting down on the couch next to Jenny. "Fine." Jenny mumbled again. Kira examined her friend carefully. Once she was sure Jenny's looked normal, she focused on her behavior. Jenny was gazing out the window, deep in thought, fidgeting with a strand of her chocolate brown hair. This wasn't normal. "Jen are you sure you're fine?" Kira asked, eyeing the strand of hair Jenny was playing with. Jenny looked back at Kira and sighed. "It's Tom. He's been acting weird all morning." Jenny said. "What'd he do that was weird?" Kira asked. "He's very distracted." Jenny replied. Kira thought for a moment. What would was distracting Tom? "Maybe he's just worried about something." Kira suggested. "That could be it." Jenny said doubtfully. "Don't worry, whatever it is we will find out."
== Chapter 11: Keefe ==
Is this right? Did I do the wrong thing? Why did I leave a letter? But if I told her in person wouldn't that hurt her more? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why did I leave? Thousands of questions and doubt swam through Keefe's mind. Why had he left? Now that he'd done it it seemed a bit idiotic. Should he go back? No. He couldn't go back. He had to stay away. Had to protect everyone. "Ow." Keefe found himself on the ground with a human right infront of him. "Sorry." The boy apologized. He had really messy chocolate brown hair, brown eyes, and large dark circles under his eyes. "Its fine." Keefe replied. Oops. He'd spoken, but thankfully nothing had happened. The boys eyes suddenly turned unfocused, as if his mind was somewhere else. Then his eyes were focused once again. "Again I'm really sorry, but I have to go." The boy said, walking away. This made Keefe curious. Was this boy hiding something? Keefe decided to follow the boy. Once the boy was about twenty feet ahead he followed. The boy never looked back at him. He never glanced at other people, keeping his head low, trying to blend into the background. A few minutes later the boy walked into a small cafe. Keefe peeked through the window, inside there were only three people. A cashier who was half asleep, and a man and a woman. Keefe saw the boy walk over to them. The boy looked scared of the two people. Keefe examined the people, trying to figure out what scared the boy. Keefe just stared in shock. The woman he'd never seen, she had long wavy strawberry blonde hair and pale blue eyes, but the man next to her was familiar, he had blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. This man was very familiar. This man was Gethen.
== Chapter 12: Tom ==
Tom walked over to the man and woman, trying not fall to the ground, cowering in fear. The man, what was his name? Oh yeah, Gethen. Gethen gave him a smile. "Hello there, Tom." He greeted, as if he wasn't threatening everyone he loved. "Hello." Tom said quietly. "This is my companion, Anastasia." The woman waved, as she was introduced, giving Tom a huge grin. "And as I told you earlier, I am Gethen. Now that we have introduced ourselves, we need to get down to business." Gethen said. "Can you explain somethings to me?" Tom asked quietly. "Haven't I already transmitted you all the information you need?" Gethen asked. "No, I need to know more." Tom replied. Gethen sighed. "I'll explain." Anastasia volunteered. "Alright." Gethen agreed. "Elves are real." Anastasia began. "They used to live with humans but now they don't. Elv-" "Why?" Tom interrupted. "What?" Anastasia asked, confused. "Why don't elves live with humans anymore?" Tom asked, this time more specific. "The humans built things like guns, elves got scared and didn't want war, so the elves hid away, and humans think they're myths now." Anastasia explained. "Anyway, elves have can manifest abilities, some do, some don't, Gethen's ability is telepathy. Telepathy lets him read minds and transmit his thoughts. He transmitted to you and read your mind, that's how you had that conversation." "Do you have an ability?" Tom asked. "Yes, I'm a vanisher." Anastasia answered, suddenly vanishing. It took all Tom had not to scream. Anastasia turned visible again, grinning at Tom's reaction. "Anyway, remember that dream you had?" The memory of the brunette girl in a pool of blood surfaced into Tom's mind, and he nodded. "Well that was my memory, Gethen read the memory and transmitted it to you." Tom looked at the grinning woman across from him, fear bubbling in his stomach. This woman brought up that memory so casually, and in the memory she hadn't helped the poor girl. Hadn't saved her, hadn't stopped the pale woman. How could she not help the girl. "Why didn't you help the girl?" Tom whispered. "She was the enemy." Anastasia answered, her grin fading into a scowl. "She was part of the Black Swan, I'm part of the Neverseen. Now let me explain the rest." "Alright"
After Anastasia explained Tom was horrified. Who were these people? Why were they so cruel? But Tom tried to hide his horror. "So, what do you want from me?" He asked. "We need you for our plan." Gethen explained. "We don't want to do this the hard way, so we'll give you two options. Option one: you come with us and your family and friends are safe. Or option two: we take you by force and your loved ones are dead." "You wouldn't kill innocent people." Tom said, knowing that wasn't true. "OH, but we would." Gethen replied, his smile cruel. "You're monsters." Tom whispered, lunging at Gethen. Gethen stepped aside, letting Tom crash to the floor. Then he grabbed Tom by the throat pushing him against the wall. Tom clawed at his throat trying to breathe, but failing. The cashier, now awake, stood behind the counter, frozen. Anastasia took out something that looked like a silver gun, and shot the cashier. The cashier collapsed, unconscious. "I'm assuming you're going with option two then." Gethen said, smiling his cruel smile. "Sedate him, i'll alter the human's memory." Gethen said, dropping Tom. Tom took a breath. Gethen could've of killed him, it wasn't smart to mess with these people. Anastasia crouched beside him. "Hold still, this won't hurt a bit." And then he smelled a sickly sweet scent, and then he was plunged into darkness.
== Chapter 13: Tam ==
"You can't keep that hood up forever." Linh told Glimmer. "I'd like to keep it on as long as I can, if I can't keep it on forever." "I'm going to go." Linh huffed, leaving the room. "She hates me." Glimmer said. "No she doesn't." Tam reassured her. "She does." "She just hasn't gotten used to you yet." Tam replied. "You know that's not true." Tam opened his mouth to argue, but then Granite burst into the room. "Um, hi Granite." "Mr. Tam, Sophie wants us at Havenfield, she says she has something to tell us." "Um, ok then. Can Glimmer come?" Glimmer shot him a glare. "Alright." Granite said, eyeing Glimmer. "I'd rather stay here." Glimmer said. "Come on Glimmer, you're coming." Glimmer sighed. "Fine." She agreed, getting up. "I'll go get Miss Linh." Granite came back with Linh a few minutes later. "Ok, lets go."
"Hey Tam, hey Linh, hey... um, Glimmer." Sophie greeted. "Hi Sophie." Linh said cheerfully, Glimmer just grunted her greeting. "Ok, I think everyone is here now." Sophie said. "Keefe isn't here." Dex pointed out. "The news is about Keefe." Sophie said, wincing when she said her name. Tam wondered why. What could've happened. "So, um, Keefe left." Sophie began, but she never got to continue, because right next to Sophie someone appeared. A woman. A very familiar woman. Lady Gisela.
== Chapter 14: Jenny ==
"Where's Tom?" Jenny asked, looking at the scene inside her house. Her parents were supposed to tell her. She was supposed to find Tom and confront him about his odd behavior. This was the plan, this was how it should have been. It shouldn't have been the scene inside, two police officers trying to question her parents, her father trying to comfort her crying mother. "Who are you?" One of the officers asked. She was a blonde woman with muddy brown eyes. The other was a man, dark black hair, and blue eyes. "I'm Jenny." Her mother nodded. "She's our daughter." her father confirmed. Jenny walked to the couch, sitting next to her sniffling mother. "What happened?" Jenny asked. This was scaring her. Her parents were a mess, the police were in her house, and Tom was acting strange. Tom. Tom wasn't in the house. If Tom wasn't in the house, where was he? "Where is Tom?" She asked. "Tom is missing." And with that answer from the blonde officer, Jenny's life was officially wrecked and ruined.
== Chapter 15: Glimmer ==
Once she recognized the woman anger filled Glimmer. This woman was evil. She had hurt so many people. Including her brother. Why had she ever helped this woman? Why had she ever thought they were making the world a better place? "Hello Sophie. How are you?" Gisela asked, walking towards the group. "What are you doing here?" Glimmer demanded. Ice blue eyes met her gaze. "Hello Glimmer." Gisela greeted coldly." Glimmer glared. If only looks could kill. Then this woman would be gone. Gone from her life. Gone from other peoples lives. Gone. Dead. Then the world would be safer. "Hello." Glimmer replied, her voice even colder the Gisela's. "How is life with 'the good guys'?" She used air quotes as she said the last words. Glimmer just glared. "Why are you here?" Sophie asked, reminding the two that others were here. "I've come to talk, of course." Gisela answered, flashing a smile. "What do want to talk about?" The Vacker boy asked, coming to stand next to Sophie. "Keefe." She replied.
== Chapter 16: Kira ==
"-so then Laura said-" The familiar sound of Kira's ringtone cut her mom off. "Just a minute mom, then you can continue." Her mom sighed, clearly annoyed. "Alright." Kira headed over to the den, making sure her mother couldn't here. She already made subtle comments about Tom at meal times, she didn't need to hear anything else. "Hey." "Kira!" The sound of Jenny's voice surprised her. Jenny sounded as if she were about to cry. "Jen? You ok?" Kira asked, her voice filled with concern and worry. What was wrong? "Its Tom." Jenny explained. "What happened?" Kira demanded. "He's missing!" Jenny sobbed. "What?!" "I came back home and the police were there! Apparently Tom went for a walk and didn't come back, so my parents called the police. The police won't even search! They say Tom isn't officially missing because he isn't missing for forty eight hours yet!" "I'm coming over to your house, you can explain the rest when I get there." "Okay." Jenny said, sniffling loudly. Kira hung up, heaading out the front door. "Mom I'm going to Jenny's." She called. Without bothering to explain or get her bike, she started running to Jenny's house.
"Come in, Kira." Jenny's father greeted, moving so Kira could get in. "Where's Jenny?" Kira asked, wanting to get to her friend as soon as possible. "She's uh... having a word with the police in the kitchen." So that was the noise coming from the kitchen. "Thank you." She rushed to the kitchen and saw Jenny, shouting insults at the police, saying they were stupid for not looking for Tom. Her friend looked very different from when she saw her about an half an hour ago. Her long chocolate brown hair was now somehow very messy and tangled, her expression was angry and full of pain, and she had red rims around her eyes as if she'd been crying. "Jenny?" Kira asked disbelievingly. Jenny turned around, temporarily finished yelling at the two police officers, and faced her friend. "Kira!" Jenny ran and through her arms around Kira's neck. Kira awkwardly hugged back. They'd never been the hugging type of friends, but then again no one they loved had ever gone missing. "Hey." Kira whispered. Then the sound of a knock on the door disturbed the awkward hug. "Lets go see who that is." Kira suggested, and Jenny nodded in agreement.
"Hello." An attractive woman greeted. She had long and wavy strawberry blonde hair, and pale blue eyes. A man stood behind her, his hair was blonde, and his eyes were a piercing blue. "Who are you?" The female officer demanded. "I'm Anastasia. This is my boyfriend Gethen." The man turned bright red when Anastasia said boyfriend. "Why are you here?" The male officer asked, suspicious. "We're here about Tom.
== Chapter 17: Gethen (This is Basically A Bonus Scene) ==
(This is right after they sedated Tom and near the time the last chapter started)
"Are you done altering the guys memories?" Anastasia asks. "Yes, lets go." Anastasia looks at Tom. "Should I put him in a sack, or...?" He thought for a moment. They didn't really have any other options. Carrying a sleeping fifteen-year-old boy, that clearly wasn't their son, would definitely be suspicious. So into the sack Tom went. Wait a minute, how did she get a sack. "You have have a sack?" Gethen asked. Anastasia rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed by the question. "Duh." She answered. "Where'd you get the sack?" He asked. She sighed. "Why do you care? I have a sack, so what?" "Well I'm wondering where you got it! I didn't know we had sacks!" "Well we do! So just shut up and lets go!" She said, very clearly annoyed and frustrated. "Fine. Wait, how are we supposed shove him in the sack?" Gethen asked. Anastasia shrugged. "You pick him up, and I'll hold the sack under him." She replies. She reached into one of her black boots, and pulls out a black sack. "You stored the sack in there?" Gethen asked. "Yeah, why? Is it illegal or something, because we're part of the Neverseen. That's probably, like, the most illegal thing ever." She answered. "Isn't it uncomfortable to have a sack stored in your boot?" He asked. She rolled her eyes. "Just pick the kid up." "Alright." Gethen picked Tom up, and Anastasia held the sack under him. In a few minutes Tom was safe inside the sack. "Now where do I put him?" Anastasia asked. "I guess I'll leap him back to the hideout." Anastasia groaned. "We shouldn't have bothered with the sack then." Gethen opened his mouth to reply, but Anastasia held up a hand. "Just go."
"What do we do now?" Gethen asked, after he'd leaped back. "We get Tom's loved ones, of course." Anastasia replied. "Follow me." She headed for the door. "Why do you get to lead? I know where they live too!" Gethen demanded. Anastasia sighed. "Please just shut up and follow me." Gethen opened his mouth to protest, but before he could Anastasia was next to him. She was very close, making him blush. Anastasia fluttered her eyelashes. "Pretty please?" She asked. He opened his mouth to answer, but since Anastasia was near, he couldn't remember how to speak. "It doesn't really matter does it?" She asked. Their faces were only inches apart, and before Gethen could try to talk again, Anastasia's lips were on his. Her eyes closed as his widened, but after a minute his closed too. Her wrapped his arms around her waist, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. After about five minutes they pulled apart. Gethen blushed tomato red, and Anastasia smirked. "So, I can lead then?" She asked. All he could do was nod.
== Chapter 18: Tom ==
When Tom awoke his vision was blurry. He tried to rub his eyes, but soon discovered his hands were tied behind his back. Then the memories all flooded back. Gethen and Anastasia had kidnapped him! What had they called the place where elves lived? The Lost Cities, was it? That didn't really matter, because right now he was in some dark room that was probably in elf land, he didn't know how long he'd been here, and Gethen and Anastasia were going after his family and friends. How was he supposed to get out of here? Maybe he could scream for help? Just as he opened his mouth to scream a woman came into the room. She had blonde hair, calculating ice blue eyes, and a cruel smile. "Don't even try to scream. Nobody will here you." She said, walking closer to Tom. "Who are you!" He demanded. "Now now, Tom. I'm more likely to answer you if you're polite." "Why should I be polite?! You kidnapped me!" Tom replied. "Technically Gethen and Anastasia kidnapped you." The woman said. "They still work for you." He pointed out. "Yes, they do." "What do you want from me?" He asked, trying to get his hands free. "You won't get rid of the rope." The woman informed him, avoiding the question. "That's not an answer." He said. "Anything can be an answer, Tom. Even if it's the wrong answer, or it doesn't make sense, it is still an answer." Tom rolled his eyes. "Are you just going to tell me facts about life, or do you need me for something else?" The woman glared at him. "You know, Tom, you kind of remind me of my son." "You have a son! I bet he hates you, or is he part of your evil little group too?" Tom asked. The woman narrowed her eyes. "My son is not part of the Neverseen." She informed him, her voice cold. "Is that really what you call yourselves?" Tom asked. "I bet you're seen all the time. What a horrible name." The woman glared daggers at him. "Goodbye, Tom." She said, turning to leave. "Don't I at least get to know your name?" He asked. The woman paused, then nodded. "My Name is Lady Gisela." She said.
