Sophie's POV

"What do you mean 'no'?" Fitz asked. I'm disgusted, now that I can think clearly again."A love potion? Seriously Fitz?" I walk up close to him and slap him. HARD. "But-But..." "I don't want to hear it." I shouted. Keefe came out. "S-sophie?" Oh no.

 Fitz's POV

"Keefe! What in the name of Exile are you doing here!???!!" I asked, astonished. "I came to check on my girlfriend!" Keefe shouted. "Keefe! Help, this psychopath," Sophie glared at Fitz, "gave me a love potion." Just then, a wheezy voice called out from the shadows, "What did you do to my moonlark?" 

Forkle's POV

I stare at the gaping faces in front of me. Yeah, they're probably shocked, but of course if there's already forkle twins, then why can't there be a triplet. Not that much of a game-changer. I glare at Fitz. He shouldn't be messing with her brain. Who does he think he is?

Alina's POV 

Note: This part makes me half cringe-half laugh every time I read it.

Lord Cassius had prepared a 'nice' diner complete with umber leaves and mallowmelt. " This looks delicious." I lie to fill the awkward silence. He stares at me. "You look beautiful." I stare at him. He's ugly. I hate him. But I need to pretend that I like him. "Thank you." I gulp. "You look very handsome as well." He looked pleased. He leaned in for a kiss. In my head, I scream. Then our lips touched. EW. I excuse myself to the bathroom to wash my face. EW! I'd rather kiss a muskog.

Keefe's POV

The Forklenator #3 lives. Wow. I can't believe it. Well I guess I can. I look around me. Sophie looks surprised and a little hurt. Fitz (of course) looks furious. Forkle looks confused of all the reactions. Fitz was the first to speak. "Why would you do this AGAIN?!?!" he shouts. Forkle sighs. "I figured you would have that reaction, Mr. Vacker. Which leads me to the reason I came out of hiding. Mr. Vacker, I feel the need to remove you from the black swan. You have done no good to us, your temper and your 'control' of your actions are despicable."

Marella's POV

I look at the walls of my room. Covered with pictures of Fitz. It's easy to find the pictures, since he is a Vacker, after all. Way better than my family. My imparter starts buzzing. I pick it up. FITZ IS CALLING?!?!? Oh. It's the group chat. I answer it. "Hi." I say, not particularly pleased. I really wished it was Fitz calling. In the imparter, I see Keefe staring at someone, Sophie holding the imparter, and Fitz punching a tree. Oh well. No one's perfect. Not even Fitz. "Whats up?" I say. "Marella," Sophie began, "Mr. Forkle was a triplet." I drop the imparter.

Fitz's POV

I punched the tree so hard, my hand started to bleed. Then I have a great idea. I grab the imparter and tell Marella goodbye. I see her faint with happiness in the background. "What was that for?" Sophie asks. I don't answer her, instead I leap to Everglen and hail Councillor Alina.

Alina's POV

"What is it?!" I ask, clearly irritated. HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE SUBTLE ABOUT CALLING ME! CALLING DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS IS NOT SUBTLE!!!! " I want to join the Neverseen." Fitz says. I want to pull my hair out. "YOU HAVE!!" I shouted. He rolls his eyes. "Technically, yes. But you don't let me do anything." That's it. "BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT USEFUL, YOU LITTLE CREEP!! THAT'S WHY YOU GOT KICKED OUT OF THE BLACK SWAN!" I yell. Fitz is just calm. "The black swan sucks. And I am useful. I know a girl who's in love with me. If we play our cards right, then we can use her to do anything. So what if she ends up in exile."

Keefe's POV

Fitz is messed up. Just like Alvar. Who I used to look up to. What is wrong with me? I won't be surprised if it turns out that Sophie is evil too. The last person I fully trust. What if I still need to fulfill my 'legacy'? What if- My thoughts are interrupted by a sight in the window. My dad looks so odd. If he was a cartoon character, his eyes would be hearts. NO WAY. Is he CRUSHING on COUNCILLOR ALINA??!! Ew.

Cassius's POV

Sure, my relationship with Alina started out as hopes of an alliance, but now its so much more. I love her, and of course she loves me. What's not to like? I'm quite handsome, I have a huge house, I'm also part of the nobility, so maybe the council will be okay with it. Though, she seemed kind of hesitant to kiss me. Huh.
