Can you guess who Tam said?! XD

Everyone was dead silent.

Everyone was waiting for someone to ask "Who?"

But no one wanted to do it.

Biana wanted to scream "SOMEONE JUST ASK WHO?!" But she didn't because what if the person was her? No, it couldn't be her. Not in a million years. As much as she would like it to be her, Tam always had a thing with Glimmer. Something that Biana would never understand.

"Don't keep us hanging! WHO IS IT?!" Screamed Lihn at her brother. Of course it was Lihn to ask; she was the only person in this room to have the guts to ask that, but Tam was also her brother so it made sense.

Tam fidgeted his hands (which looked super sweaty) and looked down at the floor.  He swept his silver tip bangs away as he said "Biana."

Biana froze. 

Wait what? That wasn't how it was supposed to go. He was supposed to say Sophie or someone else but not "Biana." Oh no, oh no. Biana felt like her heart had stopped beating.

She was usually the outgoing one, the perfect one. But now she was a nervous wreck as words stumbled everywhere in her head even though none of them seemed right for this moment. To make matters worse, everyone was staring at her and she was 99.9 percent sure that Lord Cassius was in the hall eavesdropping on them.

She could feel her own cheeks heating up as the minutes went by.

"Yeah- I- Same- Always had- but why- I." Words stumbled out of her mouth and they made no sense.

She took a deep breath and pushed away her worries. It helped a little bit.

"I always had a small crush on you too." She finally said.

Keefe whistled, Lihn was trying hard  to hold her giggles, Fitz was shocked at his sister, and Sophie was watching intensely.

"So it's official?!" Asked Keefe.

Tam stared at her as if she was pig eating mallowmelt.

Sophie elbowed Keefe and Keefe yelped.

Fortunately, Lord Cassius came in at the same time Tam opened his mouth in response.

"You guys should really leave now." Mumbled Lord Cassius.

"And why is that?" Keefe yelled back.

"Because someone may or may not be at the door waiting for you." He said sternly.

"Get to the point." Said Sophie.

But he didn't need to because at that moment Mr. Forkle walked in.

"We have something we need to discuss." He said to the crew.

"Alone." He said as he was looking at Lord Cassius.

Lord Cassius mumbled some unkind words under his breath as he left and slammed the door extra hard.

As soon as he left, questions started to fill the air left to right.

"What happened?" 

"Is everything okay?"

"Calm down everyone." Said Mr. Forkle.

"I needed to see you all instantly because this morning there was a note on my desk."

He paused waiting for someone to ask what it said.

Sophie right on cue asked "What did it said?" 

"Hide you must, fear makes it worse, come to the trap, make your marks."

"What does it mean?" Asked Sophie.

"To be honest I'm not sure, but I know that the Neverseen are behind this. I just wanted to let you guys know so if you see anything suspicious or any unusual notes, you are to tell me immediately." Said Mr. Forkle in a hushed tone.

Everyone nodded.

"Well I should go now." He said as he awkwardly scooted out of Keefe's bedroom.

"Well that was weird." laughed Ro from behind the corner.

And then there was that silence that haunted Biana, but it quickly vanish as Lihn said "Well... we got to go soon."

"Same,'' said Biana, relieved that she was out of the awkward position.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

After everyone left, Biana decided to take a walk around her house alone.

Everything that happened this week was crazy. First, she had a blind date with a complete stranger, then she went to Havenfield to talk with Sophie for a few seconds, then she went to  Lord Cassius's house, Tam admitted he liked her, and then weird notes were found.

It was exhausting to remember all of that. She still wasn't sure what the deal was between her and Tam, but she figured she had the whole day tomorrow to talk about it to him.

After a couple more walks around Everglen, she finally headed back inside.

She was about to go to her bedroom to lay on her cozy bed, until she saw something from the corner of her eye.

It was a piece of paper.

She picked it up and stared at the sloppy words that where scrambled on it.

"Give us what you most desire and meet us at the Forbidden cities. If you don't, there will be consequences."
