Please feel free to point out any misspelled words or grammar problems, I'll fix everything, I like my writing to be readable 😉. Now, to the next chapter!

Chapter 2

Sophie yawned as she blinked her eyes open. She peered groggily around her room. Then she remembered.

Fitz's Winnowing Gala!

She jumped out of bed. She walked quickly across her soft carpet to her bathroom and turned on the shower.

She also had a tub, but she normally took showers and only used the tub when she wanted to relax.

She felt the water temperature with her palm and stepped in.

~~~

After her shower, she rummaged thought her closet. She pulled out a dark green tunic, light brown pants and tall brown boots without heels. She never wore heels. If she did, she was endangering herself and everyone around her. Sophie fingered her registry pendant, a silver choker that she was required to wear. It was beautiful, but sometimes she wished she could take it off, just to relieve her neck.

She walked over to her elegant dresser and picked up her brush. The brush was silver and decorated with amethysts.

She brushed her blond hair. Her hair was almost down to the middle of her back. Sophie fingered it gently, feeling how soft and sleek it was. It hadn't been this nice when she was living her human family, she figured it was the detox she had when she first arrived and her new fancy elvin conditioner.

When she finnished, she stepped over to examine herself in her mirror.

"Not nearly as nice as last time," Vertina comment with a sniff. "The teal dress is probably the nicest thing I've ever seen you wear."

"I cannot wear a dress that poofy," Sophie replied, slightly grumpily, "I can't see my feet, I would probably run over small children."

Sophie stepped out of range. Vertina In the morning was too much for her to handle.

She jumped on her bed and hailed Biana. She smiled to herself. She knew their would be other girls at Fitz's Gala and she was slightly worried, but she hoped everything would work out.

Biana's face appeared on her screen.

"Biana, guess what!" Sophie asked, biting her lip to hide a smile.

"What?" Biana asked. She was wearing a blue dress with sparkly gold embroidery on the bodice, "Does it have anything to do with the fact Fitz sent out his Winnowing Gala invitations yesterday?"

"Yes!" Sophie replied, releasing breath she didn't know she had been holding.

"That is amazing!" Biana squealed. The Imparter shook as Biana started jumping up and down.

Biana stopped jumping, she frowned and slumped a little.

"I wish I could be there with you." She said sadly. She collapsed in a chair.

Because Winnowing Galas were restricted to the people on the match list and their parents, Biana couldn't be there, even though she was Fitz's sister.

"I wish you could be there too." Sophie replied, trying to cheer Biana up, "I'll tell you all about it when it's over."

"Really?" Biana asked starting to smile.

"Of course!" Sophie replied, "You're one of my best friends!"

"Don't leave out any details, I want to know everything that happens!"

"I don't know if I'll be able to remember everything."

"Everything." Biana stared at Sophie through the Imparter.

"Ok." Sophie replied, giving in. "But you might have to ask Fitz too, just in case I forget something."

"How can you forget something!" Biana exclaimed in disbelief, "It's only the Winnowing Gala of your boyfriend!"

"Fitz is not my boyfriend." Sophie denied, trying to convince herself as well as Biana.

"Um hm, of course." Biana replied sarcastically.

Sophie glared at her.

"All right, fine," Biana relented, "But you guys are so cute together!"

Sophie scowled, but secretly she was pleased. Then she heard Fitz shouting for Biana in th background.

"Got to go." Biana apologized, "I may have stolen all of Fitz's outfit that I thought weren't good enough for the Gala while he was sleeping." She smiled mischievously.

Sophie smiled back and shook her head. "See you later."

"Bye!"

The Imparter went blank.

Sophie set it on her nightstand with a sigh. She swung her legs around and got out of her bed.

She pulled on a brown cape and walked down the stairs for breakfast.
