Viessa gasped. They were at Ambercrest which was her best friend Kaylessa's house. Viessa glanced nervously at Flare who stepped towards the Guest House and unlocked the door.

"So, who are you exactly?" Flare asked Viessa.

Viessa ripped off the cloak and mask she was wearing and faced Flare. "I'm Viessa," she told Flare. Flare gasped and slowly reached up to drop her hood.

Kaylessa, her best friend, gaped back at her.

"Kaylessa? What the heck were you doing in the Neverseen?" Viessa asked her best friend.

"Me? What were you doing in the Black Swan?" Kaylessa screeched.

"Same thing as you, I guess," Viessa whispered and stepped back.

Kaylessa's eyes widened, "Why would you ever want revenge on the council?"

"What?" Viessa asked her.

"Why did you join the Black Swan?" Kaylessa asked, avoiding the question.

"I joined because I wanted to help save the world. I never knew you would keep a secret from me that you were in the Neverseen," Viessa told her.

Kaylessa's mouth tightened, "You never told me you were in the Black Swan either."

"I really wanted to," Viessa looked suspiciously at Kaylessa. "What aren't you telling me?"

"What do you mean?" Kaylessa asked, her eyes narrowing.

"You're hiding something," Viessa looked at her. Why would her best friend ever join the Neverseen? She knew they were bad!

"No, I'm not," Kaylessa said.

"Ok, fine. Why did you even join the Neverseen?" Viessa asked her.

"My mom died because of the council," Kaylessa said quietly. "It was because of them."

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean you needed to join the Neverseen," Viessa frowned.

"They're decent," Kaylessa muttered. "Especially Raven and Ruy, they're my friends."

"So, am I not your true best friend then?" Viessa asked, her voice was laced with hurt.

"Yeah, you are," Kaylessa said. "I wouldn't lie to you like that,"

"Oh, ok," Viessa whispered. She wanted to smile but she couldn't.

Kaylessa looked up at Viessa and stared at her, "So . . . what?"

"I'm sorry about yelling at you for killing people, I know you would never do anything like that," Viessa said.

"It's fine," Kaylessa said, smiling slightly.

"Does that mean you forgive me?" Viessa asked. "And no more lying to each other."

"Yeah, and, uh, sorry for trying to kill your friend," Kaylessa said sheepishly. "No more lying."

"It's okay, I'm sorry too," Viessa said, a bit guiltily. "No more lying!"

"So, what now?" Kaylessa asked, rocking back and forth on her heel.

"Do you think you'll ever rejoin the Neverseen?" Viessa asked, bracing herself for the answer.

"Maybe?" Kaylessa said, avoiding Viessa's eyes. "They had good ideas."
