Eight
"Sophie!" She looks up. Grady's running to her- with Edaline not far behind. Her eyes are red and puffy. "Y-you're back!" "Yeah," Sophie says. "I'm sorry for running away. It was too much. But maybe my memories will come back." They beam. "Good for you for looking on the bright side, kiddo." says Grady. And for the first time since she woke up, she didn't mind the nickname. Their smiles feel warm. She feels like she will belong. But first she should take a shower.
Around 2 am
She sits up and yawns. She's lying in her bed. Her pillows are placed all around her, basically making a cave. It's nice. And comfy. But someone else is in the room. Watching. "H-hello?" Sophie asks cautiously. Maybe it's just a weird feeling. But it's not. Someone steps out of the corner. Their face is covered by a hood. On the elbow there's a patch. Something tugs at her memory. It's a patch she's seen many other times. In her nightmares. In battles. The patch is the logo of an order. The- the- She can't remember. The black swan. Is that the name? No.... The neverseen. That's it. Why is a member in her bedroom? She's tempted to yell for help- but she can't. It would just make things worse. Way worse. The neverseen member pulls something out of their pocket. Then they squeeze it. Gas fills the room. Sleeping gas. Then everything goes black. The last thing she hears is a faint whisper, 'No reason to worry.'
