PART 25

KEEFE'S POV.

"So how exactly do you want to do this?" Keefe asked, while placing himself on his bed cross legged facing Sophie. He had finally gotten Ro to agree to get him some tunics. He looked a lot better."I'm not sure. Normally with Cognate exercises you have to start with being completely honest with each other... But we can test out if distance really is a barrier. Since you're not a telepath and all." She had gained a lot more colour and her blonde hair loosely hung over her shoulders. Elwin had permitted her to teleport but within the Foxfire grounds. Keefe in the meanwhile was still stuck here."Your theory was correct I don't have to freefall to teleport I just have to run really fast. Count to ten after I leave." She said getting up and exiting the healing center.1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..He He unfolded the barrier Mr Forkle had told him to put and searched for something familiar...'Keefe?'A huge grin broke across his face. He thought back...'Yeah, I got you.' Keefe could feel Sophie smiling from the other side and something vaguely familiar hit him. The white washed walls and the bench...'Are you in my ditiching spot?' Keefe felt Sophie's smile widen.'Yep. One way or another I always seem to end up here...' 'Come on back.' Keefe thought while closing the connection again. They had practiced a few times before and now closing and opening the connection seemed second nature to him. They haven't exactly told anyone they were doing this, not that he wanted to... But he did.Sophie suddenly appeared in the middle of the healing center, while also managing to knock down a tray vials and somehow losing her footing. He knew she was going to fall before she did and it seemed totally instinct to catch her before she hit the ground."Ah Foster, Foster you won't ever stop falling for me would you?" Keefe granted himself proud with Sophie's blushed cheeks. She rolled her eyes and straightened herself."I see you're back to yourself." Keefe looked behind to him to see Tam and everyone else."Bangs boy!" He smiled. Foster looked like she seen a ghost and it didn't take that long to find out why..."And here we were thinking both of you were fainting when you got off your feet." Dex said coming to pay Keefe in the back. Biana laughed. "Shouldn't be surprised that all you did was catch Sophie." She reached for a hug and immediately stomped down on his foot."OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR? YOU DON'T HURT A GUY WHO JUST SUFFERED AMNESIA!" he said while holding his foot. She was really strong."That was for being a jerk. And making all of us worry our heads off!" She went to Sophie's side with a proud little smile on her face."So was it fun getting engulfed by giant black cocoon?" Even though Marella didn't mean it, in spite of himself he flinched. The memories of that he done very hard to shove it into the back of his mind. But he smirked, "Definitely a top weirdest thing I've ever faced in my life!" "What's the first?" Linh asked.Keefe dramatically made his face to seem like he was reliving a past memory. "You don't want to know." He realized one person still hadn't said hi, ever since he woke up. He glanced to the back of the group to Fitz how was leaning against a wall and not watching him but in fact Sophie. Keefe shoved the anger he felt down. He didn't know what was going on neither did he want to. But his mind flashed back to the day of the attack. Sophie hadn't just felt hurt, it almost felt like she was going to give up. It made him want to lunch Fitz."FITZYPOO! No hug for your best friend?" He asked while stretching out his arms.Fitz in fact smiled and rolled his eyes. "Oh no I'm still mad at you for showing up when you were not supposed to and getting yourself in a three week coma!" He answered. "Oh come on! I've already got that lecture from everybody else." He then stage whispered, "Also side note do not get in the bad side of Miss F. It is not pretty." Fitz laughed and in fact came over and hugged him (A/N is it bad that I can't imagine them doing this?) "Next time you have amnesia I will make sure to break all your Gulon prattles pins." Fitz threatened."You wouldn't dare!" Keefe countered."Eh it's not like you would remember." He said with a slight smile."Okayyyyy! Whatever is happening I don't want to know." Biana came in between of them and looked towards Keefe. " So Keefe must kill you to be stuck in the healing center? Oh must it?" Keefe didn't miss how her eyes slightly moved towards Sophie.Keefe rolled his eyes towards her. "Nope. Been raiding the secret cafeteria and stocking up on prattles pins. I think Foster and I have run out of names though." He said while gesturing towards the huge amount of pins scattered across their beds.Everyone in the room laughed. He remembered then it felt like to make someone laugh. It was blissful."Wait... When you say secret cafeteria..." Fitz started. Then Keefe realized what he done. Ignoring every warning sign Keefe was giving him. "You don't mean..." He finally stopped when he saw Keefe's face and his eyes widened. "YOU STILL GO THERE?" So much for a best friend."Why? What happened?" Sophie finally decided to come from Biana's side and stand infront of the two boys, staring dead into Keefe's eyes.Fitz only somehow managed to widened his eyes more. "YOU DIDN'T TELL HER?" Keefe smacked his hand against his face. And silently wished he could teleport.By now everyone had taken curious upon the subject and formed a circle upon the three."You didn't tell me about  Mr Snuggles! You told her!" Keefe protested."Yes, exactly I did tell her." A sly smile came upon Fitz's face. Keefe had forgotten how evil Fitz could be. One time he had slipped a eye color changing elxir to Fitz's mallow melt and turned his eyes pink and in return a whole sludge of gulon silme (A/N just pretend there's something like this)  had been put to his hair the next day."How come I've never heard of this secret cafeteria?" Biana asked. Fitz and Keefe exchanged glance."You promised!" Keefe told Fitz. His tone getting a bit angry."You know I can get back at you to showing up that day. Wouldn't do much damage... Would it Keefe?" Fitz smiled clearly biting back a laugh.Before even waiting for Keefe to protest,"Who here is still mad at Keefe and wants to know what we are talking about." Every hand went up except for Keefe's."If you tell them I will..." Keefe racked his brain for whatever he could use against him and then... Keefe returned the same smile Fitz had given him."I will tell them what got me there. So bestie if I'm going down your going down with me."
