"Hey Dexyyyyyy! C'mon, start the chapter!"

*whispers* "What do I say?"

"THIS IS WHY WE GO TO REHEARSALS, PEOPLE! Just make something up!"

"Okay. Um I'm Dex and all the characters mentioned in this book belong to Shannon Messenger."

"Perfect!"

"Wait does that mean--"

"Sorry Dex! I've got a chapter to write! Bye!"

*Dex disappears*

"Whew, he was so close to discovering about the fourth wall."


--Keefe's PoV--

I wake up, tied to a chair by duct tape.

I wiggle around, but the bonds are too tight.

"Struggling is pointless."

That voice.

Her voice.

"Sophie?"

My voice breaks and I feel so relieved.

Sophie's alive.

Sophie steps out of the shadows, a frying pan by her side.

"I thought you were dead, Keefe." Her voice is cold.

"Well, I'm not." I say, attempting to make a joke.

Sophie doesn't even crack a smile.

"You don't get to joke about this and pretend nothing happened. I went to your Wanderling ceremony."

Her words slap me on the face.

Sophie turns her back on me and turns on the faucet and splashes some water on her face.

"I cried and I cried and wasted hours trying to transmit to you."

Sophie's hands clench into tight fists.

"Then I thought if you got to disappear, why shouldn't I?" Sophie barks a cold laugh.

"Who knew disappearing was so much fun?"

I close my eyes.

A spark travels from the tips of my toes to my tongue.

"Sleep."

Sophie's eyes roll to the back of her head and she falls, unconscious.

I wriggle through my bonds. They leave red marks on my writs.

"Dam!" I curse. (Hehehe)

I grab my stuff and run.

I pause for a millisecond at the front door.


"Goodbye, Sophie."

Then I disappear.
