The Guild of Red Wolves

Tam's P.O.V.
I sighed as I sat down next to Sophie, making sure to glare at her before anyone else could see. What kind of idea is this?! I shadow whispered to her. She shrugged. Why are we even doing this?

So that way they can't tease us! Sophie explained for what felt like the thousandth time. If they think that we are together, they'll stop pestering us about it!

And if they find out it's all a lie?

She smiled devilishly. Not if. When. And that'll be the fun part! They'll be so embarrassed that they fell for it! I sighed. She was turning into Linh. I heard that! I jumped. I forgot that I still had my shadow passed over hers.

I rolled my eyes. At least I'm not lying.

"Hey! Quit it with the secret conversations, or we're going to have to assume you guys are flirting!" Keefe shouted from Marella's side. Turns out they do both have. With each other. "Then again, you probably are," he mused.

"You can keep your thoughts to yourself, Funkyhair," I growled, but Sophie gave me a look and put her hand on my arm. A warning.

"I've never been so thankful that Foster and Bangs Boy are together!" Keefe sighs in mock relief.

"Shut it, Sencen! I'm not done with you yet!" Sophie snarls, and I have to fight the urge to roll my eyes and scoff. What a hypocrite. Although I could tell Sophie was still hurt, she forgave Keefe fairly quick. Unfortunately for him, she is still mad. I wonder when she'll send Grady after him...

Suddenly, Sophie gets this distant look on her face and gets up, excusing herself to go to the bathroom. Come with me, something's wrong, she transmits to me. Not wanting it to look suspicious, I waited a few more minutes to get up from the restaurant dining table to go look for her.

I track Sophie's shadow vapor (something new that I can do, kind of like tracking thoughts) and find her outside in an alley. The sight that I find chills me to the core. I was barely able to shout for help when a Neverseen member blasted me with a melder, making everything turn black.

Who saw that coming? *Watches as all the readers raise their hands* Am I really that bad at writing plots subtlety, or are y'all lyin' to me? *Watches as the crowd gives blank stares* Fine, here are your questions:

1: (If you're comfortable) What's your gender? I don't want to call anyone by the wrong pronouns...
2: Five facts about yourself
And:
3: do any of you girls like girl talk? I haven't had anyone to talk to in forever besides my mama, and I can't even tease her! >:( My sisters are also very boring and won't tell me nothin'!!!
Love ya!
