Linh Pov:

When I saw Fitz, standing with his arms crossed, in the corner, I walked over to him. A hopeful smile lit up his face when he saw me approach, and I grabbed his wrist, leading him into the nearest hallway. I gave him my sweetest smile.

"Hi Fitz!" His confidence was getting bigger, and he gave me his most charming grin.

"Hi Linh! What's up?" I walked towards him, still smiling sweetly. Then, he reached for my hand. My smile turned into a glare that could kill.

"Oh, me?" my voice was laced with an edge of poison. "Well, I don't know. Maybe, you should be asking someone else that question. Someone who, I don't really know, maybe single handedly battled a Neverseen member? Maybe someone who cries herself to sleep every night after her injury? Maybe someone who's own BROTHER does not care enough about her to visit her everyday? Maybe someone whose brother's best friend was more of a brother to her that he is. MAYBE, FITZ, YOU SHOULD BE ASKING YOUR OWN SISTER ABOUT HOW SHE IS DOING, INSTEAD OF YELLING AT HER FOR SAVING ALL OF OUR BUTTS?"

Fitz looked shocked, likely because he had never faced the wrath of Linh before. Again, he reached towards me, this time placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Linh, calm dow-"

"OH, NOW YOU OF ALL PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN? YOU? AND DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME AGAIN, OR ALONG WITH THE WRATH OF ME AND TAM, YOU WILL HAVE TO FACE THE WRATH OF WYLIE."

By now, I was positive that there was steam coming out of my ears, and that my silver eyes are glittering with fire. Then, for good measure, I slapped his cheek, and threw a splash of ice cold water onto his hair. Then, I spun on my heel, And gasped.

Biana Pov:

I walked into my bedroom, feeling a little down in the dumps. I sighed, plopping onto the bed with Marella and Sophie. For some reason, they had broad smiles on their faces.

"SURPRISE!" I gasped, shocked, at Keefe and Dex who had randomly materialized in my room. Tam, on the other hand, simply cleared the shadows, then waved. My open mouth turned into a grin, and I embraced all three of them, my eyes lingering on Tam's. I turned around to thank my besties, but stopped dead in my tracks when I realized that Linh was missing.

I opened my mouth to ask where she was, but before I could get a word out, Tam asked,

"Bia? Where is Linh?" My eyes were wide with worry. What if she was taken? What if Fitz is secretly a part of the Neverseen, and STOLE her? Gods, this is bad.

I looked towards Tam with wide eyes.

"I don't know." Tam whirled towards Keefe, narrowing his eyes.

"Keef-"

"No, I'm Lord Hunkyhair"

"Fine, Hunkyhair, where did you put my sister."

I heard a muffled giggle, and both Tam and I whirled around to face Sophie. She had her hand over her mouth. I sucked in a breath as Tam started walking towards her, a scowl on his face. I rushed towards him, wincing as my arms moved.

"Tammy, stop." He turned around, and simply nodded. Marella had her hands clasped on her cheeks, and was probably squealing at Tam and I.

"We need a plan" I said, sitting down on the bed. "She's probably still here. We should probably split up, so that we can cover more ground. Sophie will go with Keefe, so that she does not end up dying. You two will search on the upper 10 levels. Marella, you can go with Dex. Look outside, Tam and I will search on the bottom 10. We will meet up in an hour. Does that work?" Everyone nodded.

"Cool, I'll see you then." I then motioned for Tam to follow me, and we all left to search for Linh.

...

I was getting tired. After searching for thirty minutes, my legs felt weak and wobbly. I hated how I couldn't even search a few floors of my house without becoming more and more exhausted every moment. What happened to the girl who could drop-kick her two brothers off a cliff without breaking a sweat? Even worse was the frenzy of fear that I could tell was buzzing in Tam's head.

"Bia?" Tam's voice cut through my thoughts. "Do you want to go lay down?"

As much as I hated admitting it, I was exhausted. Weakly, I nodded. Then, he did something really unexpected. He picked me up. I let out a long, deep sigh, and leaned on his shoulder. (A/N: Biana is wearing a tunic and leggings, not a gown)

"That way" I pointed to a large archway, and we passed into a large, open sitting room. Tam gently set me down on the cream couch, and wrapped his arms around me. A lone tear snaked down my cheek. Then, I heard something that made me jerk my head up. Someone yelling.

"OWN SISTER ... DOING, INSTEAD OF ... FOR SAVING ALL ... BUTTS?"

Tam and I looked out at each other, smiles flickering on our faces. I sprung up, grabbing Tam's hand, then vanishing. I neared closer to the door, and saw that it was slightly open. I smirked, slowly easing it more open. Linh was in there, yelling at my big brother.

I saw her push Fitz's hands off of her shoulders, and start yelling again.

"OH, NOW YOU OF ALL PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN? YOU? AND DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME AGAIN, OR ALONG WITH THE WRATH OF ME AND TAM, YOU WILL HAVE TO FACE THE WRATH OF WYLIE."

After smacking him hard, she turned around, and saw Tam and I standing in the doorway.

"Linh?" I smiled broadly, running to her, and hugging her tightly. "Thank you"

When we looked at Tam, I saw him staring at us, with one eyebrow in the air. Linh took the hint and gave her twin a huge hug. I smirked, and asked whispered.

"Has Lylie finally sailed?" Linh nodded, pink beginning to tinge her cheeks.

I giggled, and the three of us walked up to my room, ready to enjoy this night.
