Keefe's POV :
FOSTERRRRRR! Foster! SOPHIE! He thought desperately...
She can't be gone she can't be gone! shes the incredible Foss Boss! she can't... die.
Keefe wasn't so sure.
"ROOOOOOO!" he yelled to the top of his lungs. Keefe was still wary of using his voice but he knew the basics of controlling it. all thanks to Sophie, he thought.
She couldn't die, she would make it, he was sure of it.
but then all the panicking, overwhelming thoughts got the best of him and he couldn't help but cry. Tears started runing down his cheeks as he continued to call for someone... anyone.
"RO GET OVER HERE NOW!" he yelled again this time with a small sob. if she didn't come in two seconds he would jump out a window--- "WHAT IS IT WHERES THE FIRE!" She screamed, barrelling into his room. She was still angry with him for leaving and usually followed him around with a rope in case hew tried to escape again.
"Its Sophie shes--" but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
instead another gut shaking sob came. all his emotions must have tipped off his dad because he came in next, seeing the mess that was Keefe. "What happened!?" he said in a surprisingly concerned tone. Keefe started pacing frantically, "She cant... no... This cant..." He muttered over and over.
"Keefe you need to tell us whats going on." Ro said but he couldn't... it would just make it true. He needed to tell somebody but... what would they think? would the worst happen to her? Keefe could feel Sophie's emotion through their mental connection. She was very very scared, also angry, but the worst thing that felt like a knife to the head was the gut shaking pain that ripped through him. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
"Son what happened? you know I can feel your panic from here." His dad said. He felt theirs to... loud and clear. Their concern washed over him with overwhelming force, only amplifying his...
"It can't-- It won't-- She'll be ok--" he kept stuttering off.
"Dose this have to do with Sophie? Keefe you need to tell me so we can alert the authorities!" Ro yelled but He still was speechless.
Keefe took a deep breath and said, "Something is very very wrong." but it only came out in a cracked whisper.
"LIKE WHAT!" his dad and Ro yelled in unison, but Keefe just realized the last thing she said... Alvar's alive! it echoed through his head
Alvar
Alvar
Alvar
Alvar
Alvar
This was bad.
If he...
He could...
that was the last straw! Keefe got up with an angry frown on his face and pulled out a crystal to Havenfeild. Anger swirled through him, drowning out his panic. He ignored Ro's new found annoyance and his fathers frustration as he held it up to the light streaming through his windows.
"Oh no you don't Mister! I need details! WHAT HAPPEND!" Ro yelled at him. "Then your coming with me" He replied, dead serious. She seemed taken a back by this but reached for his arm.
"I will be going as well." His father said, his normally cold tone back in his voice. To bad it didn't mask his frantic emotions.
"No dad--" Keefe started but was cut off coldly
"NO! son I need to know whats happening and you will not be shutting me out because like it or not I care ok!" His father said with a scowl. Keefe just flinched and nodded. "Ok whatever just hurry!" He said. Keefe was about to burst in fear and he was sure his dad could feel it. before he could say anything else he sent a beam of light to the ground and they leaped away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keefe walked, No, ran through the pastures half scaring Edaline to death. Her fear turned to dread when she saw Keefe's unusually grave expression. "Keefe! Whats happening?! Why are you all here!?" She asked. He could still se the puffy red tear tracks that she had tried to cover up. He felt the growing numbness in her emotions. He had to tell her... had to tell everyone...
"Pretty boy here says--" Ro started but Keefe raised his hand and shut her up.
"Get Grady as fast as you can and meet us at the Vackers. tell them to stay at their house, were rounding everybody up." He said in his most serious voice. she nodded gravely and looked at Keefe's tear stained cheeks. She looked at him with a glimmer sympathy which quickly turned into her growing dread and ran away to get Grady. Keefe pulled out another leaping crystal for Tergan's place...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF LUMINERIA IS THIS!" Tam yelled as he saw Keefe with his small party leap in. oh noooooo. of course BangsBoy had to be the first one he saw. "WHAT are you DOING HERE!?" he yelled, his anger joining Keefe's swirling swarm of panic... "Look Bangs Boy get your sister and Wylie NOW and go to the Vakers." Keefe said.
"Why?"
"Its Really important OK!" He said in his dead serious voice. Tam still didnt get the hint not to ask yet.
"TELL ME!?" He yelled
"OK ITS ABOUT SOPHIE!" Keefe shouted. a command poped out on his tongue. The temptation to use it was almost unbearable. He quickly clamped his hands over his mouth, fear clouded his eyes as he shoved the word back down.
Nonononono...
he couldent do this...
not now...
He stumbled away and kept his hands over his mouth. Tam looked him in the eyes curiously but finally seemed to get the message and sprinted for the door.
Keefe quickly pulled out a crystal for Dex's place and linked his arms with Ro's and his dad's. Before he could say anything else he leaped away...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"DEXXXXXXXXXXXXX!" One of the triplets yelled, "THAT GUY WHO'S COOLER THAN YOU IS HERE!!!"
"WHO!?" Dex screamed back at his brother.
"I DONT KNOW HIS NAME!"
"MMMMMM" Bex said with a bat of her eyelashes, "mama like"
"Uh, wheres Dex?" Keefe whispered nervously, afraid to use his voice.
"Oh inside cutie" she said but before he could respond Juline walked out "BEX! YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW YOUNG LADY!" she said with her hands on her hips.
"Juline." Keefe said quietly, relived. "Gather your family and got to the Vackers..." He said softly, trailing off.
"Whats wrong? what happened?"she asked, fear brewing inside her originally happy emotions.
"We would all like to know Hunkyhair! ready to spill?" Ro chimed in. Cassius was dead silent and stared at Keefe intently. Keefe nodded with a small sob. he could feel everything. he was holding my hand during the leaps... Keefe couldn't get sucked under this panic... he had to keep going... He had to warn the others...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keefe visited the remaining houses. Marella's, Stina's, and Forkle's, and leaped back to Everglen where everybody was waiting in a fearful and anticipating mess.
it gave him a beating to the emotional center. Anger threw punches, Fear kicked him in the gut, Frustration clouded his thoughts. He doubled over in the hurricane of emotions. "OK!" Keefe's Dad yelled over everybody's shouting. "Keefe called this meeting because--" His dad stopped and gave him a look.
And that was when he broke down. He hated himself for it. But he loved Sophie. More than anybody else. And now she could be gone. The pain and anguish he felt ripped through his senses, overwhelming him. He crouched down and started breathing really deeply. Everyone was very concerned, their panic continuously added to his own. He didn't have the energy to stop it. He struggled to breath as he live in 10 panic attacks at once. Terror tore through him but surprisingly... His DAD gave him a hug. Keefe sank into it, it was nice having someone to lean on... he had someone he could focus on now... he started blocking the other emotions, pushing against them... Maybe he could muffle them. Maybe he could just slow them down... make everything more manageable. he started taking deep, shaky breaths, slowing his racing heart. "I'm sorry son." his dad said softly. Keefe just wiped his eyes, finally slowing down the worst of it and calming down his own panic so he could manage everyone else's... "OK SERIOUSLY!" Fitz yelled. "Whats going on!?"
Grady gave Keefe a warning look, as if daring him to say something bad. "Keefe tell us whats wrong." Linh said in her quiet voice, soothing his fear slightly.
"Ok but please no questions till after... even if i have to... to stop." Keefe stuttered. "Sophie called me mentally. she-she said she didn't have much time. Her voice was so weak and I could feel... PAIN! Her PAIN! searing through my chest. It was awful and I'm afraid--" Loud sobs shook his shoulders, painfully jerking him around. Sobs came from Biana and Linh next, out of fear and worry. Keefe took some more shaky deep breaths, he had to slow down again... Edaline and Della started frantically pacing the yard. Tears started pooling in Grady's eyes.
Keefe continued, "She was very scared and angry to but that was all I could feel before she told me..." Fitz was starring daggers at him. So was Sandor...
Forkle started punching the ground, already guessing what happend. "What did she say Keefe." Fitz commanded. "S-she said... um." Keefe stammered quietly.
"TELL ME!" Fitz yelled fearfully. His eyes swirled with anger and fear.
"LOOK THIS IS HARD IT WAS THE LAST THING SHE SAID BEFORE SHE WAS GONE!" Keefe screamed. He wrapped his arms around himself, trying to squeeze out all the fear and anger that clouded his senses... slow down...
Fitz went silent at this outburst and Alden was shaking his head angerly. Dex was crying and muttering under his breath, probably having flashbacks, Keefe thought. Tam and Wylie were dead silent and Stina and Marella were ghostly pale.
"Just tell us what she said... its okay Keefe." Fitz said approaching Keefe slowly. he put his hand on Keefe's shoulder comfortingly.
"P-promise you all won't freak out to much, I-- I might not be able to handle it." Keefe said quietly, squeezing himself tighter. everybody nodded and Fitz squeezed his shoulder for support. "Okay, Before Sophie... she said... it happened right after the pain-- She told me Alvar survived."
