Chapter 7

"Hello, Sophie," said Alden. The week went by fast, without any new memory flashes. It also went by with a still silent Keefe that didn't look at anyone at lunch. Sophie was now at Everglen, finally about to tell him about the memory flashes. She would leave out the truth or dare part but she would still tell all of the memories, even the one that she thought was her and Fitz in the future. "What would you like to talk about?"He asked.

"I am here to talk about my memories,"she answered. "What about your memories?" He asked. Seems like questions are all he can say."Is something wrong? Did you find something new?"She thought carefully for her answers. "I'll tell you, yes and yes." She said this without a smile. But Alden laughed. "Why so serious.You don't have to be so official. You know me well and it doesn't matter how you act." She answered that with a sigh."I need to. Something is strange about the memories. Not only are they mine, except for one, but they are triggered from events and things that are close to that. One of them was too strange.It seemed like it was Fitz and I in the future." She said, kind of embarrassed by the her and Fitz part."There were two people. One that looked like you but skinnier, more muscular and without a cape and the other looked like Jolie, with brown eyes." She only said that one because it seemed the strangest. "What triggered it?"he asked. "Um,"she said, pretending that she had to remember. Think, Sophie.She thought to herself. "It was some stupid thing that Keefe said about us. Flirting or something."Alden chuckled, but the mention of Keefe made her heart ache.

Then he looked serious."I think I know what it is, but I will have to talk to the Councelors before I tell you. What were the other memories?" he said. She told him all of the memories and how they were triggered. She was about to tell about the dream but she stopped, not sure if it was important and how to explain how it was triggered. "What Sophie? We need to know everything to figure this out."Said Alden. He saw her stop talking before she said the dream. Sophie sighed, "Fine. It was a dream where Fitz was mad at me. He was walking towards the caves at Havenfield," she shivered at the memory,"and started levitating on the cliff. His energy failed and he...he fell onto the rocks."She was pretty much crying. She hadn't liked it. "Okay, what triggered it?" asked Alden."We were playing a game. And Fitz said if something happened that I hate, I could punch him in the stomach. That's what triggered the one that when I was going to Elwin the first time." She answered. "I, uh, fell asleep and in the dream I punched him in the stomach. He thought that meant I hated the game. He was mad at that. And then all that stuff happened."

"Okay, Sophie." Said Alden. "Please go sit in the living room. Fitz, Della and Biana are there. Just wait while I call the Councelors." She agreed and walked into the living room. Fitz was sitting in an overstuffed armchair reading a book called Twenty-Five Ways to Catch the Wind. She gasped and was at a different time, a time when she woke up for the first time in Everglen, in the Lost Cities actually. "She's alive!"Fitz said. "You do realize you slept through breakfast and lunch, right?" Then she was back. "Hi, Fitz. Have you talked to Keefe lately?" He didn't answer. Either he was ignoring her or he was way too into his book that he didn't hear her. "I talked to him," said Biana. She smiled at Sophie. It was an I'm Sorry smile, though."I'll tell you what he said later though," she said. "Hello, Sophie"said Fitz, formally,"I did not see you there. I am reading a very good book. I am sure you have not read it but you have heard of it. Correct?"What are you doing? Transmitted Sophie. "Fitz, talk to Sophie normally.She is your friend."scolded Della."Alright, Mom" he answered. He still didn't talk to her.

"Sophie, please come to my office. I have to discuss something with you,"announced Alden. When she sat down, he said, "Sophie. I talked to the Councel and I need to tell you something. There is no reason to worry but I have to tell you that you..."
