(a/n HI SO I GOT 2K VIEWS AND THAT IS SUPER CRAZY SO HERE IS A CRAZY CHAPTER HOPE YOU LIKE IT )

Mr.Forkles eyes shifted from his wrinkled creases of dull blue to slender pale blue. His gray hair faded to jet black, and a cruel smile danced upon his lips. 

"Hello daughter." Staring back at me was the man who had tormented me, who had told me I was never good enough. The man who gave glimpses of kindness and love, so I would think that he had changed. He never did. Anger flashed up inside of me, and before I knew it I had slapped him across the face. With my fist. So I guess it was a punch. My hand ached, and a sharp pain flew up my wrist. I just hope it hurt him more then it hurt me. "Such temper." He drawled, blood dripping from his lip. I took a shaking step back into Biana's arms, and she wrapped me up in the tight hug. 

"What.. what do you want?" I stuttered. I hate that I still sound like a scared little kid, after all this time. I could see Tam and Glimmer running over out of the corner of my eye, and turned my focus back to the traitor. 

His cheeks blushed, "I just wanted you and Tam to be safe from the awful things you'd have to face just because you were twins. And when you wouldn't lie with me, I joined my brother to lead the Neverseen." He wouldn't meet my eyes, and that's when I remembered Mr.Forkles backstory. About how his parents pretended one of them didn't exist, and how he thought that was normal. And how his twin- my uncle- was dead, and how he didn't know how to function without him. "So I wanted to change the system for you, so you could be accepted for who you are. Even the parts I don't quite understand." He said, raising an eyebrow and Biana's arms wrapped around me in a loving embrace. 

"Really?" I asked weakly, slowly walking out of Biana's grip. 

My father tried extended his arms out, a loving smile replacing his ever present scowl,"Yes." Violet loosened her grip. "And let me tell you..."  He trailed off, embracing me in a tight hug. I could see Tam running to us out of the corner of my eye, so I instantly pulled away from my father. His grip turned iron, "Wake." He whispered, covering my ears. 

"No!" I screeched, trying to shake him off. Everyone's body started to spasm, fear coursing through my veins. My heart pounded so loud I thought it might explode, as every inch of my body started to freeze up. Cold sweat dripped down my arms as I stumbled backwards, grabbing for anyone who could help me. By this point my father had let go, and the neverseen started to rise from the dirty ground they belonged. The funeral had gone completely off the rails, no one honoring the fallen. Now we were just trying not to join them. 

"Quan Song, you have done a good job." Lady Gisela rose gracefully from the ground,  curls falling from her face yet again. "Linh, I hope you can understand your father was trying to protect you. And that our cause... will win. It is inevitable." A condescending smile played at her lips, almost as if she hadn't planned a mass murder. The thought that Biana and Tam were dead flickered across my mind, causing a cool chill to flicker up across my mind. Fact. Glimmer had to be alive, because the Neverseen wouldn't get rid of her so easily. Fact. I was the only one who hadn't gone still at my feet. Fact. My father wouldn't kill Tam. Unless.. Nevermind.  Fact. I was the only one that could get us out of this mess. 

"I do." I said, wincing when I could hear how shakey my voice was. "Just... are the dead?" I asked weakly, perfectly playing the part of the victim. 

Lady Gisela's face softened, "No. But they will be without him." My father flashed me an evil grin. 

"Glimmer, wake." He yelled, and I realized that the members were surrounding her frail body with swords, ready to attack the moment she moved. Her eyes flickered open, and started to fight. "Peace." He drawled, causing her eyes to go glazy and slump to the ground. As fast as lightning, Lady Gisela pulled out a dagger and put it to my fathers throat, hooded figures surround him. Someone grabbed my arms, and I could hear water rumbling in my soul. 

"Now, you have a very big choice to make." She grinned, knowing she had me stuck. "You can join us, and help our cause." Her face tightened, and she spat the second choice at me. "Or I can gut your father like a fish, causing Biana, Tam, and all of your friends to die." 

"My Lady, what are you doing?" Quan shouted, face beet red. His hair was unruly, and he was shaking in fear. 

"Quiet." Gisela snapped, moving closer to Quan. "Make the choice." She drawled, red lips curling up into a smile. 

Fact. She won't kill her own son. "Okay!" I shouted, thinking of Biana's cool hand, forcing tears to form in my eyes. "But I want you to wake one of them up. To know that you aren't bluffing." Gisela's eyes flashed back to my father, walking closer. 

"Wake Biana up." She hissed, digging the dagger deep into his throat. His blood stood out against his white skin, and I knew the pain he must be feeling. 

"What about Tam?" 

Gisela let out a laugh. "You might not understand love, but I do. And these two girls love each other." (a/n Weirdly, I love Gisela, and I feel like she would be an ally. LOVE IS LOVE YA'LL.) 

Quan looked disgusted, "Biana, wake." I whipped around to see Biana coughing, perfect brown hair a mess. One of her cheeks had dirt smudged on it, and her skin looked pale. And she was still the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.

"BI!" My entire body was shaking, and I let go the breath I didn't know I was holding. Real tears started to flow from my face, and my heart started pounding so hard I thought it might explode. 

"Linh!" Biana shouted, and she picked herself up off the ground, and ran to me. Suddenly her lips were on mine, and I could taste her cherry chapstick. 

"Please don't leave me again." I whispered, taking a strand of her hair back and tucking it behind her ear. 

"Never." She whispered back, and Gisela coughed. 

Every fiber in my being wanted to stay here with Biana, kissing her and looking into her perfect teal eyes. God, her eyes were beautiful. In certain lights she would have green flecks, and you could just get lost in them for days, "I'll help.." I trailed off, hearing a sharp inhale from Biana. "But you have to keep Biana safe." Biana's grip on my hands tightened, and my heart started to race. 

"Of course." Gisela said, and she dropped her dagger. "Wake Tam up." She walked away, scowl blossoming into a smile. Quan's anger was clear on his face, and he mumbled something I couldn't hear. But I bet Gisela heard it, because her face turned white.

 Ice blue and brown eyes opened, and they both looked very mad.
