PART 22

SOPHIE'S POV. Sophie was proud herself. In truth in had taken her pushing her fingernails to her palm to not to look at Fitz. But at the last moment she let on. He looked...blank. Then in the next mintue a few emotions passed his face, first he was angry, then he was confused and at last he looked incredibly sad. Sophie wanted to-Blank. Keep it blank Sophie. She looked towards Keefe instead who looked like he wanted to run out of the room singing "La la la" Sophie was right there with him."Um...how exactly?" Sophie asked Mr. Forkle,He definitely looked like he didn't want this conversation, she didn't think anyone did. "Highly standard Cognates. Mr Sencen's and Your bond has always been strong. It got more stronger when your enhancing came to place and even so with the ability reset. The simple thought is you trust each other that you've died in some way depending on the other to bring you back. Being Cognates depend on absolute honesty. But you don't need that because the you accept the other and trust them with your life. The bond both of you have is unique and one that no elf has achieved and even I cannot explain it. The best way to understand it by yourselves. But for now to solve the current problem..." He made his way to her side and started, "Imagine a wall around your brain, make it detailed and strong as possible." "Want me to help?" Fitz perked up and smiled at her."No, Miss Foster has to do this on her own." For once Sophie was glad that Mr Forkle was answering for her.Sophie closed her eyes quickly so she wouldn't see the look on Fitz's face.She imagined a big wall, it was solid black with gold lining for some reason, she stretched it out through her mind till it covered her whole brain. She opened her eyes and gave a satisfied nod.She noticed that Mr Forkle has already moved to Keefes side and was now whispering to him. She turned her attention towards Fitz how looked miserable as ever."Well you don't look so good." Sophie said trying to cheer him up."I'm not feeling very good. But it's not your fault it's not like you wanted this." He looked towards Keefe who had closed his eyes in concentration. "I should go. I'm not needed here anyways." Before even waiting for her to reply he took out his leaping crystal and leaped away. Great, just because she didn't want to talk to him didn't mean she didn't want Fitz to be there."Now let's test this out." Sophie turned towards Keefe, who gave her a thumbs up, she smiled. Are you okay?  She thoughtKeefe gave a dashing smile."It works!" Mr Forkle gave them a tired smile. "You two should talk. Figure this out and try to understand it as much as you can. It's good you have this time together. You two are very strong together. I'll see you tomorrow." With a wink at Sophie he leaped away.Then it was quiet."Wanna go raid the cafeteria?" Keefe asked.
