Tam hated what he was doing. The Neverseen were working him so hard and he didn't even like their cause. Whatever Lady Gisela thought his reaction would be to finding out that their grand plan for Sophie was to brainwash her into working for the Neverseen was wrong. Tam would like to say he took the news well. But he didn't. He knew he couldn't warn Sophie. Otherwise Lady Gisela would harm Linh. She was making very sure Tam knew that. "What are you going to do to the rest of them?" Tam asked hardly containing his anger
"Well," Lady Gisela said smiling,"Keefe of course will be spared along with your sister. The rest of them will most likely be killed unless they prove themselves useful. Maybe the Redek girl will be recruited just like you." Tam could feel bile coating his tongue as he thought of each person that would get killed if the Neverseen won. Fitz, Wylie, Dex, and Biana. At the thought of Biana being killed Tam was filled with so much rage he could feel the Shadowflux edging towards him.
"None of that boy." Vespera says flashing him an emotionless smile,"You don't want your twin to pay because of you temper now do you?" Tam quickly sends the Shadowflux back to a corner and orders it to stay.
"Why do you want to do all of this?" Tam asked,"I mean, what does it do for you?"
"Power." Lady Gisela says simply,"We all want power." Tam could feel that something else was coming up and could almost guess when she would speak again,"I need you for a second Tam."
"Why?"
"Just follow me." Tam followed Lady Gisela into a room that looked like the healing center at Foxfire. "Sit down." Lady Gisela orders as she picks up a couple of skinny glass tubes a a piece of cotton,"Open your mouth." Tam obeys and Lady Gisela takes a sample of his DNA.
"Why do you need my DNA?" Tam asks as Lady Gisela puts the cotton in a tube.
"I'm doing a project and I need a shade." Lady Gisela says
"So why do you need my DNA? Couldn't you just use me?"
"So many questions." Lady Gisela says sighing,"Can't you just trust me?"
"No I can't because you keep threatening my sister's life." Lady Gisela doesn't say anything after that and just puts the tube with the cotten inside a cabinet. She then throws Tam a small glass ball. Taps it and leaves.
"A spyball!" Tam whispers,"Show me Linh Song." The glass ball shows Linh and Biana talking and laughing. They both look like their having a great time. While Linh seems to be preacticing water tricks, Biana is writing a essay. Tam looks away. He can't watch for long without wanting to fall in the ball and be with both of them. Tam puts the ball in his pocket and goes down to dinner wondering what Lady Gisela needed his DNA for.
