SO KEEFE WON THE VOTE. As promised here is the (really long) one shot of Sophie/Keefe. I will post the polls and runner up on my next chapter of Broken as well. I know this is really long for a one shot but I was on a roll. Keefe won with 17 votes, Fitz with 6, and Dex with 1. (Don't worry Mr/Miss Guest, even without your enthusiastic cheating Keefe would have won (: ) Thank you everyone who participated, it was awesome seeing that many people voting for my story.

Shout out to Guest for being my most enthusiastic voter. IT was absolutely endearing.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Earlier that day Sophie took Silveny out for their first uncaged flight in front of the council where Silveny teleported them away. Keefe had been at Havenfield already to investigate Alden's break. He also subdued Sliveny after Sophie faded.

Midnight. It was time. Sophie pulled down the sheets of her canopy bed, quietly walking to her closet. Picking out black leather leggings, (what had Della been thinking when she bought this wardrobe?) a fitted dark brown tunic with a black silk belt that tied with a bow in front, and a black knee length cape, she began to get ready.

Sophie had not been able to stop thinking about her trip with Silveny earlier that day. She couldn't forget the rush of teleporting, the feeling of pure freedom. But most of all, she wanted to go back to that mysterious place Silveny had taken her to. She had to see it again. Had to feel the exhilaration of teleporting. Had to feel the freedom of that strange and foreign place.

As she braided her long blonde hair Sophie listened to ensure that Sandor's breathing was slow, indicating that he had fallen asleep. When she looked out her large, wall length window, seeing the moon reflect off of the calm ocean, Sophie could not help wishing she could share this with someone. Not just someone. The irritating voice in her head taunted. Ignoring the voice Sophie continued with her prior plans.

After she had slipped on brown boots that hugged her calves, she began to ever so gently open her window, careful not to alert her body guard. He would definitely not approve of her little adventure she had planned. Steeling her courage Sophie swung her legs over and jumped, three stories, hoping she was right that channeling her power would allow her to rebound safely and silently from the shock of landing.

Thankfully, she was right. Sophie brushed some dirt off of her knees and started off towards Silveny's pasture.

"I knew you couldn't resist me."

"Keefe," Sophie whisper-shouted, "What are you doing here? It is literally the middle of the night."

"The question is, what are you doing out, dress up like that, "He gave her a once over, "Without you body guard. I mean, I know I am attractive, but sneaking out to see me?" she scoffed at that.

"At least I am not lurking outside someone else's house in the middle of the night." He smirked then, shrugging off of the large cage.

"And you are whispering. When the nearest person who can hear you, excluding me, is like, no where near close enough to hear. SEE, NOBODY CAN HEAR ME! I AM SHOUTING AND NO ONE CAN-"

"Quiet down!" Sophie ran over and threw her hand over his mouth. He silenced his shouts immediately. But only once he gazed down at her hand and she could feel him smile against her palm did she let go, blushing as she thought of how she had let her hand linger.

"There it is," he murmured, brushing his hand over her flaming cheek, stopping her in her tracks. "The famous Foster blush. I've missed it." Right then Silveny chose to fly down in between them, whinnying loudly, forcing them apart. Sophie was not sure if she was relieved or disappointed.

"Hey Glitterbutt how you been?" the alicorn nuzzled his neck as he patted her back.

Clearing her throat Sophie looked at Keefe, "So, back to the topic at hand. What are you doing here?"

"Easy, I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away from trying to teleport again."

"And so you just showed up to see me off?"

"Yeah, right. Like I was going to let up the chance to go flying on an alicorn with the mysterious Miss. F. and be the second elf to ever teleport? Fat chance." She started to shake her head but he stopped her, all playfulness aside, "Besides, you could fade again and no one would be there to help you."

Knowing she would regret it later but not really caring, Sophie nodded, "Fine, sure. Besides, there is this amazing place she took me to; it's the main reason I wanted to go out again. I really wanted to show someone anyways, it was magnificent."

"Did you have anyone in mind?"

"Not really." Yes, you.

"Well then, let's go on a forbidden teleporting trip to a mysterious place in the middle of nowhere. This is gonna be epic! Come on, I'll give you a lift." Sophie again blushed as Keefe placed his hands around her waist lifting her onto Silveny's back, and as soon as he followed suit they were off in the sky.

"Is this okay?" He whispered in her ear, referring to his arms wrapped around her, not even an inch between them.

"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?"

"You know I can feel your emotions right?" Crap.

Before she could respond they were falling, diving, she was screaming hold on as Keefe was plain screaming, and then they were back in that familiar void in the sky.

…..

"Wow." Keefe breathed. They were both in awe of their surroundings.

Silveny had landed once again at the bank of the endless river, clear as the sky and glittering with the moonlight, as though each drop of water contained its own drops of moonlight. The knee high grass was as soft as the silk at her waist, caressing her bare skin and coated in a thin layer of dew. White roses were as plentiful as the grass, but no thorns pricked them. All around them stood towering snow-capped mountains, leaving the air crisp and fresh. It smelled like a morning in spring, right before the sun rises, and snow has freshly fallen.

"Silveny took you here and you still came back?" He was only half joking.

When she looked up and saw how the brilliant water reflected in his breath-taking sky-blue eyes, she knew, this was so much more that a crush.

"Don't move." She cocked her head at him but the he smiled, a genuine smile, "I want to memorize this, right here, right now. I want to always remember the way you hair melts into the moon light." He took a step towards her, "How it would look with a rose," He swiftly plucked a rose and taking another step towards her, brushed it behind her ear, "How your cheeks are as rosy pink as your lips," He leaned in still speaking and stopped, his lips hovering over hers.

In answer to his unasked question she closed the distance between them, closing her eyes as he deepened the kiss. He cupped the back of her head as she reach around his neck.

"Sophie." He spoke between kisses, "Sophie Elizabeth Foster," that was the first time he had used her full name, "I have a confession to make. I've had this crush on you for a while now."

Sophie giggled, "Oh really, I had no idea, I though the kisses were completely platonic."

"Yes! Can you believe it?" he said, nuzzling her neck.

"Oh I can actually. I too have felt this way."

"Wow, imagine how much we could get done if we were both more open about our emotions."

"You realize the irony in that, right."

"What can I say? If anyone can confuse an empath it would be you." She tried to hide it but all of a sudden how tired she was crashed hard. Keefe studied her for a moment, "Trust me?"

"Of course."

"Then hold on." And then she was in his arms, princess style. Her head lolled against his chest, and cradled in his arms as he carried her to go home, under the stars, in that moment of pure bliss Sophie knew, this was, and forever would be, the best night of her life.

Right before she drifted to sleep she heard "Sleep well, Foster." Whispered in her ear and she knew that for the first time since she had been kidnapped, she would.

Hoped you guys liked it. Please tell me what you thought.
