THIRTY-SIX
SORRY!” SOPHIE SAID, FEELING LIKE her heart was ripping in half
when she saw the shock and hurt on Fitz’s face—but she’d have to
deal with that later. “I have to go—Silveny’s in pain and begging for
help.”
That was all the explanation she had time for as she sprinted for the
reception hall’s door, transmitting, WHERE ARE YOU?
Silveny filled Sophie’s head with the same beach scenery she’d
shown her several times before. HELP! PAIN! HURRY!
I’M ON MY WAY! Sophie promised, crashing into Tarina as she
raced into the courtyard.
Tarina grabbed her shoulders, both to steady her and to stop her.
“What’s going on?”
“I have to go,” Sophie said, thrashing to break free. “Silveny’s in
trouble.”
Tarina tightened her hold. “Who’s Silveny?”
“I don’t have time to explain! Where’s the nearest cliff?” she asked
Fitz as he caught up with them.
“You’re going to teleport?” he asked.
She nodded, hoping there was something closer than the bluffs
they’d used the last time she teleported away from Everglen. She
couldn’t afford to go running through the forest.
“I can levitate us high enough,” Fitz offered.
