It was fueled with determination. He wasn't going to let Foster die, not if he could help it.
He fidgeted in his pocket quickly. The leaping crystal was still there.
"Here we go, Foster," he whispered, and held it up to the light.
***
He landed outside of Foxfire. Thankfully, school didn't seem to be in session.
He looked over at Foster, hating how weak and hurt she looked. She deserved to live a happy normal life.
Keefe started running. He ran faster than he ever had in his life, holding Foster in his arms, keeping her together.
He reached Elwin's office, and burst in.
Elwin turned around, and his jaw dropped when he saw Sophie. But there was no time for asking questions.
Keefe lay her down carefully on a cot.
Hang in there, Foster. Hang in there.
Elwin started working like crazy, shouting things here and there. The door burst open and Keefe was knocked to the side as Livvy, Edaline, Grady, Fitz, Biana, and Mr. Forkle crowded into the room shouting things.
Keefe was shoved to the back corner. He tried looking over everyone, tried to make sense of all the noise and the things they were shouting out. But everything was going so quickly. Keefe felt a headache seeping in with all the emotions pouring into the room.
Anger, grief, fear, shock, confusion, and a bunch of other things that were way to complicated for Keefe to translate.
All of a sudden, he was ushered onto a cot by Elwin, while Livvy leaned over Sophie.
"What?-, I'm fine I-," but Elwin cut him off.
"No, you are not fine. You look like you had just fallen fifty feet!," Elwin said.
Keefe shrugged. He probably had.
He looked over at Sophie, his heart sinking. She didn't look any better.
"Everyone, OUT!," Elwin shouted to the crowd.
Silence.
Then, Keefe watched everyone slip away, except Fitz.
Fitz gave Keefe a murderous expression before he left the room.
Livvy gave Elwin a look.
Keefe was dying to say, WHAT?, but didn't have the energy.
Elwin looked at him, shook his head, and said, "You'll both be alright.
Keefe exhaled slowly.
"But, Sophie is going to have to go through another painful ability reset before she we can move on. Today."
Keefe sank into his pillows. He completely forgot about that she had been already dying before tossed off a cliff.
But....
The circlet was still on. It angered him. Mommy Dearest was always plotting and thinking ahead. And now Sophie would have to cope with pain, and no abilities for......
Nope.
He was shoving that thought out of his mind because they would get it off. Somehow. Some way.
But Elwin had to know.
Keefe opened his mouth and spilled all he knew about the ability restrictor, and the new Technopath.
Elwin just sat there and gaped at him.
But, before he had a chance to reply, the door swung open and an eleven-foot tall goblin marched into the room, giving Keefe a look that clearly wished him a painful death.
Gigantor entered the room and marched over to Keefe's cot.
"If she's dead I swear I will-,"
"She's not," Elwin cut in, blocking Sandor from reaching Keefe.
Keefe just shrank back under his covers. He was not definitely ready to feel Gigantor's wrath.
"HE LET HER RUN AWAY AND SHE NEARLY DIED!," he roared, stomping closer.
"But, he also saved her from dying," Elwin corrected.
Keefe gave a weak smile. "Surprise?"
Gigantor rolled his eyes.
Elwin let out a small sigh.
The door opened once again and the Forklenator re-entered the room.
He gave Elwin and Livvy a look.
They both nodded.
"Now, Keefe," said Livvy softly, backing away from Foster's cot.
"I need you to leave while we do the ability reset. After which, you can come back in."
Keefe nodded. He didn't have the strength the fight back anymore.
He stood up and walked to the door.
"Oh, and Keefe," Mr. Forkle added, grabbing his arm.
Keefe looked up at him, tiredly.
He smiled.
"Thank's for everything you did for my Moonlark."
