A/N-I'm doing my best to update as many stories as I can. My life had just been crazy recently, between school, my other stories, and such. Sorry this chapter is so short (I'm fairly certain that the A/Ns are longer than the actual chapter), but I kinda wanted to get this out to you all. (Better short than super late!) Anyway, I promise that the next chapter will be longer. (However long it will take me to get it up.)

I'm actually going to start responding to reviews, like I do with my other stories, here.

daringwolf2000: well, it took me a while, but I finally updated! Glad you like the story!

Kari2678: Thanks!

ForeverFreeFall: We are just two demented people, aren't we? XD Hope you liked Neverseen Memories.

Sophie Foster (All the way back at Chapter 1!) : this is going to (mostly) follow the plot line of Everblaze. So, Sophitz may or may not end out happening, depending on what direction I take this. But, I do agree with you.

Sugarspice:yeah, I kinda forgot about this story... XD sorry it took me so long!

Hi: While I respect your opinion, I would like to remind you that this is my story. I wanted Ti to be powerful, so she is. If you honestly 'hate this story so much' (as you so respectfully put it), then I have one thing to say: don't read it. No one is forcing you to read this particular story. There are 76 other stories that I'm sure are brilliant in their own right for just this fandom, not to mention all the other stories on this site. So, read them if you would like, but don't hate on my story, just because I have different ideas. Though I didn't take much offense to it, you could really hurt someone else's feelings. We all work hard on our stories, and I gladly listen to constructive criticism, but what you said was mostly just mean.

Okay, enough with that! On to the story!

Disclaimer: Haha, I wish I owned KOTLC! But I don't... Just my OC's.

We worked for weeks. With absolutely nothing to show for it. Well, that's not entirely true. But, all that we were able to come up with was an extremely rough outline of a plan. But, that all kind of went downhill when I heard the news.

I had been at Everglen, hanging with Fitz and Biana, since Sophie and Keefe were still at the Sanctuary, when Kenric showed up. He pulled Alden away to talk, walking with him through the grounds. I turned to Fitz and Biana, jerking my head in the direction the two had gone. "I'm going to spy on them for a while."

They gave me and odd look.

"Why?" Fitz asked. "You could get in serious trouble for that."

I rolled my eyes. "Okay, one? It's Kenric and Alden. Knowing them, I'll be fine. Besides, this has something to do with Sophie, more likely than not. I have to watch out for her. If the Council is involved, it can't be good."

Biana sighed. "We're not stopping you, are we?" I smirked, and shook my head. "Good luck, then."

I gave a curt nod, before shadow-leaped after the Emissary and Councillor. I appeared in a tree, hiding carefully so as not to be seen. I climbed silently, watching from above.

At least, until I heard Kenric say something to Alden that I simply could not believe.

"Wait, Sophie's going to do WHAT?!" I yelled, so startled I fell out of the tree. Both men jumped, and whirled to face me.

"Ti?" Alden asked incredulously. "What are you doing here?"

"Spying," I deadpanned, shrugging as though it should have been obvious. "You still haven't answered my question."

I glared, hard, causing Alden to flinch. Though most people would never admit it, I could be pretty scary. I scared myself sometimes. "The Councillors have decided that she must heal Fintan."

I growled, and turned to Councillor Kenric, who was standing next to Alden. "He will never give you anything. No matter what you do. It's best for everyone if he's broken. Actually, no. The only way we will be safe from him is if he's dead."

They probably thought that that was a bit of an exaggeration. But, they hadn't seen what I have seen. They weren't there. They would never understand why I hated him so much. As if to prove my point, Kenric spoke. "Fintan is hiding something. We know it. This is the only way to find out what."

I took a deep breath. "Listen. You may think you know him. You may think that he is still the elf you once knew. But, he's not. You don't know the monster he's become. I do. I know first hand just how dangerous he truly is."

Alden shook his head. "It's already set. Sophie has to go through with it. We don't have a choice."

I scowled. "There's always a choice. Put me in instead. I'll perform the healing."

"You can do that?" Kenric sounded surprised.

I rolled my eyes. "Well, duh. You just have to have the right abilities."

Kenric seemed to consider it for a second, then shook his head. "No, it's too late. The healing is only in a matter of days."

"Fine," I spat. "But, I have to be there."

Kenric shook his head again. "We have to restrict the amount of body heat that's there. It is only going to be Tiergan, Alden, Oralie, Sophie, Fitz-"

My brow creased. "Why is Fitz going?"

"He is Sophie's guide. We are treating this like a memory break," Alden explained. "Why?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Because, one-he's my friend. I like my friends to stay alive. Two- the Black Swan needs him. I may not like them, but something is coming that is way to big for petty grudges."

Kenric looked concerned. "What's coming?"

I shook my head, and chuckled darkly. "If only I knew. I just know that the rebels are close to making a real move."

Kenric and Alden both looked deeply worried about this, so I decided to get back on topic. "Listen, I'm a cryokinetic. You don't think that that would be remotely useful?"

The Councillor seemed to be considering the idea, but he didn't look convinced.

"I'll be there no matter what. It's just a choice of whether it's legal or not," I added.

Kenric sighed, and looked at me. "I'll talk it over with the others."

I shrugged. "Fine by me. I'll see you at the healing."

A/N- Hey, hope you all liked the chapter!

THIS IS IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ!

Okay, some of you may have read what I had to say to Hi, at the beginning of the chapter. And I would like to reiterate that I love hearing form you, be it in a review, or PM. But, don't go around hating on people's work. Personally, it makes me really happy when you all say you like my stories, but if you don't (which I TOTALLY understand and respect), it really doesn't bother me. But, it could bother someone else. You don't want to be the one people refer to as that person, who goes around hurting people's feelings, and bringing them down. We all have different ideas, opinions, beliefs, likes, and dislikes. Respect that, please. If not for other people's feelings, for your own integrity, kindness, and peace of conscience.

That said, I'll leave you all go now. Fave, follow, review, and PM me!
