Novel & Cerita Sophie Step Up 2

First, she lifted the rock in Sage’s hand, then she made the roses bloom, and she made the apple tree bear thousands of fruits, which earned her a reward of apple pie from Greg. After a month, she was ready for the upgrade—to summon something massive and alive. Sophie started with birds, then moved on to wolves, serpents, and many other creatures. She could now talk with them, tell them what to do, and give instructions, which earned her many friends in the forbidden woodland. When she summoned another lagoon without having a side effect, and with her sword's novice capabilities and her hand-to-hand combat, Sage knew she was more ready. Ready for the journey. *****

SOFIE As we approached the black car, Stephen opened the door with effortless courtesy. The polished surface gleamed under the sunlight. Inside, the soft leather seats enveloped me, a reminder of the new world I was stepping into. Across from me, James tapped sharply on his tablet, the furrow in his brow still etched from our fight. Stephen slid into the driver’s seat, his posture shifting as if he sensed the tension. “Stephen,” James said, not bothering to look up, “I’d like you to officially meet Sofie.”

I missed people smiling and talking to me like I was a human being and not some mythical princess. “You two okay?” Sophie asked. Her blue eyes were like eagle's eyes, watching Freddie and I's every move. “Fine,” I replied. It was mostly true. She pursed her lips but didn't say anything. “Do you mind if we quit for the night?” I asked. “I'm really tired. And I think some sleep will help with the bags under my eyes.” “That's what makeup is for,” Sophie replied. “Let's look through the binder and make sure you know all the names. Then we'll practice the stairs a few times. You need to be prepared for the Stair Walk.”

" Thousands of steps, and every one was soaked in memories. They flooded back like a tidal wave in my mind. But for all those steps, there were so few good memories. What remained were his desperate outbursts and painful woes. "If that's still not enough, I'll block her right now." Rolf fumbled with his phone in a panic. That was when a pale woman stepped out from the side, her face twisted in pain. "So you really hate me that much? You won't even keep my number?" Miranda had arrived. It looked like she'd climbed all the way up, too. She was panting so hard that it seemed like she might collapse any second. "What are you doing here? You know you're not supposed to do anything strenuous. I've

"This is just stage one, Sophie. We still have other stages left." "And I'm gonna do so well in them," Sophie smiled. "Well, that depends on what you do now. It's time to engage step two," Jared said. Sophie nodded. "I'm ready. Do you have the location?" Jared nodded as he walked Sophie out while briefing her on the way to the car. She changed her clothes hurriedly in the car and then drive away. Jared smiled rubbing his palms together as he stared at Sophie's retreating car. They all thought Sean was the devil then what title would they give him because he was worse than Sean.

She replies as she takes a seat beside me and grabs the bag of cheese balls from my hands. I stare at her with an open mouth and she throws me a kiss which causes me to roll my eyes. I begin to gulp down the content in my coca cola bottle when she speaks. "Tobi, please give me your phone. I snapped some pics on your phone and want to send them to mine. "She says and I hand her the phone to keep her quiet. I don't want any interruption when watching this movie. It's 'Coming To America 2' for heavens sakes!

It was exquisite, it reminded me of her eyes. I was lost in my own thoughts when suddenly I noticed this familiar-looking guy who just walked into the café. He was looking for an empty seat, and then he saw me, and he stopped his tracks. Our eyes met and we had that look on our faces, the ‘I know you’ look. "You're Kara's friend, right? I think we've met before," I said to him. His name was… uh, it starts with a C. "And you're the stepbrother," he replied curtly.

"Forget it. Gideon isn't coming." Just then, someone pushed the door open. I recognized him as Gideon's Beta. He strode up to me and said, "Our Alpha heir says this is a lesson for you. Stop bullying Selene. Once you apologize to Selene and she forgives you, he'll proceed with the ceremony. Also..." He walked over to Selene Shaw and respectfully presented a small box. "The Alpha heir knows you like that necklace, so he had someone custom-make an identical one for you. It's even more beautiful than the original one."

She moved toward me with two of her perfumed little friends—one blonde, the other with a face that looked like she bit lemons for a hobby. “Well, well, well,” Sofia purred, circling me like a viper. “The gutter swine is finally going to get a taste of riches.” I ignored her and took another sip. “I must say, I never expected you to actually show your face again after what you pulled. Did you open your legs on command or did you have to beg? Before this all goes into your head, let me let you in on a secret. Stephan is just using you. You’ll be dumped in the trash faster than hot potatoes.”

“Then choose your throne carefully.” sophie returned to her room and opened her inbox. A new message blinked at the top. Sender: Unknown Subject: "Your Second Phoenix" The body read: “There is more beyond this. Phoenix was your awakening. But the world still sleeps. We’re building the next layer. If you're ready to lead it — say yes.” Below: a single glowing button. [ACCEPT] Sophie stared at it. No attachments. No threats. Just possibility. She didn’t press it.
