Hi guys! I know you you're probably thinking of me not updating in like forever and that's true. I told you I would update more often but I just let it slide. So from now on I am planning to update at least two times a week, maybe even three. I will keep my word, I promise. 

QOTD: What is the weather where you live? Do you like it? 

The weather where I live is super nice! 70 +  and sunny and very windy. Exactly the way I like it.  

Ok, onto the story! ENJOY!!!

It had been a while since everyone Sophie knew had come to see Ruy after they'd taken him to the healing center, but Sophie could still remember the frightened look on Mr. Forkle's face as her friends told the Collective the story. Sophie really wanted to threaten him and make him tell her everything but she knew that now wasn't the time to do so. Elwin was frantically looking for medicines and Livvy was doing everything she could to try to wake Ruy back up. Nothing ever woke him up though.

Sophie's mind always came back to this question, what if Ruy never woke up? And here she was again thinking about that same thing. A few tears pricked out of her eyes. She felt a hand wipe her tears away.

"It will be alright Sophie," Biana whispered into her ears. Sophie was very grateful to have her friends with her. She looked over to the right and saw Keefe giving her a sad small smile. Sophie gave him the tiniest sad smile back.

Suddenly Livvy screamed and everyone stopped what they were talking about and looked at her frightened.

"What?" Elwin asked her, worriedly. "Can we not save him?"

Sophie was scared out of her mind. If they couldn't save Ruy then what was the point of doing anything else ever again?

"No, of course we can save him. That's what I found! The cure for the mix of melder shots and shadoxflux! Look here, this book shows us the things we need," Livvy exclaimed happily, pointing to a page in a book.

Sophie jumped up and ran to where Livvy was standing. Everyone else followed her, but gave her some space.

"We just need a flower to save him?" Sophie asked, surprised.

"Yeah, but this isn't just a normal flower. It is super rare," Livvy told her.

"Oh," Sophie sighed, why did everything have to be so hard in life? 

Everything is hard in life, Miss. Foster. You just have to deal with it and move further. And don't you have a job to do before you kids go with Livvy to find that flower?

What job?

Sophie was annoyed at Mr. Forkle. They had to find that flower, it was the only job they had right now! 

Delivering the letter Gisela gave to Keefe's father.

Sophie had totally forgotten about that.

"I don't like this Sophorkle stuff," Keefe commented.

Sophie and Mr. Forkle just ignored Keefe.

We have to save Ruy first. Before we get the letter to Keefe's father.

Even thinking about Lord Cassius made Sophie want to punch something.

Miss. Foster, I don't want to have this talk with you now but I say we don't delay delivering the letter.

You can deliver it yourself.

If he didn't want to save Ruy she would do it herself.

You kids and your attitudes. Just do what I say.

Well, what do you expect me to do? Listen to you? When you don't tell a person about their own family member, a brother to be exact, would they be happy to listen?

I had a secret brother too.

Sophie didn't want to feel sympathy for someone who hides things from her.

I don't care. But that doesn't mean you have to hide mine.

I had my reasons.

And I have my reasons too.

She didn't care about what Mr. Forkle said. There was more important things to do than deliver a letter to someone who didn't need it. 

Sophie felt cool breezes in her mind, clearing out her anger. "Foster is getting very angry."

"We all can tell," Tam told Keefe.

Keefe ignored Tam, "Can you stop the Sophorkle now and tell us what you were hiding from all of us?"

"I wasn't hiding anything, someone else was," Sophie spat, "Tell them."

Mr. Forkle sighed at Sophie's attitude, "We were talking about delivering the letter to Keefe's father."

"That's not exact." Sophie told them. "Mr. Forkle apparently thinks it's a good idea to deliver the letter before saving Ruy."

"What?" Livvy asked, surprised. Sophie forgot she was there.

"What?" everyone asked Mr. Forkle. Good thing everyone was agreeing with Sophie.

Mr. Forkle sighed.

"Time to figure out what Mr. Forkle is hiding," Keefe said.

"Yep," Tam agreed.

"Wow, even Tammy agrees!"

"I don't agree with you." Tam shot back.

"Shut up you two. We need to know what Mr. Forkle is hiding." Biana told them.

"Yeah," Linh said, splashing water on her brother's face.

"Forkle hiding time is over," Keefe yelled.

Sophie just stood there looking at her friends in surprise. Why were they wasting time over Mr. Forkle? Didn't they know Mr. Forkle is just trying to waste time? They had a way to save Ruy, did they still not trust him?
