Sorry for the late update! But I've been pre-writing some chapters that are coming later (some big ones) and I am super excited for when they finally happen! There's a good chance you guys are going to hate me though...

Also, I've got a better excuse... i'Ve BeEn SiCk! ! ! ! I'm dyyyyyying!

Crowd: Drama queen.

Me: No really, I'm dying!

Crowd: Oh, really? YAY!

Me: *Sigh*

But fear not, dear readers! I would never die without finishing the story first!

Crowd: Darn.

Anyway, let's respond to reviews, shall we?

Cary Swirls: Universe - "Lolllllllll, that's gonna happen. Not your fault though- *attacks me with the Plague* *points at me* IT'S HERS!" Anyway... WHOO MARELLINH! RELEASE THE FANGIRL INSTINCTS! Pretty much the whole fandom has the Jensi-brother theory. Trademark symbols are very funny ™! Mr SaLtY sHaDoWs! Hmm... I'll put a warning in XD. It's called afanfictionitis, and I have it too! Thank you!

Eva L: MARELLINHHHHHHHH! Biana is one of us! *Cackles* I honestly need fanart of Tam in a flower girl dress... "Sorry, Math Teacher, I couldn't do the homework this week. I needed to draw Sir Salty Shadows in a flower girl dress." XD. Muahahahaha! Thank you!

MidnightBunnyy: *Offended look* How dare you! I mean, it's true, but... how dare you! Lol.

FlowerGirl15: Yas I love cliffhangers! Marellinh forever! I'm a Lylie fan as well (multishipping!) but I decided on Marellinh for this fanfiction. Thanks!

MeeIsFarrow101: It'd be easier to list the things I don't ship, honestly! I don't ship Destina, but I know some people do, so... I guess it wouldn't the worst thing!

A River Of Ink: Slyther pride! Thank you! Biana is one of us! :) And we totally ARE psychopaths. I'll try!

*Cringe* This chapter sucks. Don't read it. Seriously.

Sophie stared at Glimmer for a few seconds in silence. All her friends did the same. The first person to speak was Blur (AKA Jaxx, and possibly also Mist), who obviously denied the accusation.

"What would make you think that?" Jaxx said in a perfectly normal voice. If he was lying, he was pretty good at it. "I don't even know who Mist is. Definitely not me."

"Is he lying..." Sophie started, but her voice trailed off as she realized that their Empath wasn't there. She allowed herself until the count of three to think about it and pull out her eyelashes, and then she returned to the more pressing matter- that the Black Swan might have a Neverseen member in their collective.

"He's lying." Mr. Forkle confirmed.

Blur- Mist- gave Mr. Forkle a confused look- and Sophie also noted a hint of panic in his expression. "And you know this how?"

Mr. Forkle didn't look at all ashamed as he said "I may have bent the rules of telepathy a little bit."

Blur said some really not-nice words under his breath. Sighing, he said "Fine. Yes. I am also known as Mist."

Tam gave a loud, melodramatic, and obviously fake gasp. "Nooo. Reeeeeally?"

Mr. Forkle ignored him and started interrogating Blur. "How long have you been working with the Neverseen?" Blur opened his mouth, but before he could say anything Mr. Forkle said "Just so you know, I'm still in your mind. So don't bother lying."

"Hmm." Blur said. After counting on his fingers and muttering under his breath for a while, he said "I think... like... nine or so years?" Upon seeing Mr. Forkle's horrified expression, he added "In my defense, when I was first recruited I thought it was another branch of the Black Swan. Then, when I finally figured things out, I decided I would rather be on the winning side."

"Suuuuuuuure. Winning side." Tam said in true Sir Salty Shadows fashion. "Keep telling yourself that. We'll let you labor under your delusion a little longer."

"What I don't get," Sophie thought aloud before Blur could offer a pro-Neverseen retort. "Is how the Neverseen don't know everything about the Black Swan. They know too much, definitely, but not as much as they'd know if Blur told them everything."

Blur grinned. "I mean, it'd look pretty suspicious if they suddenly knew everything with seemingly no source. They wouldn't have wanted to reveal the position of one of their spies."

Mr. Forkle gave Blur a strange look. "But you did withhold some information for other reasons." Although it was phrased like a question, it didn't sound like one.

"That's true." Blur admitted. "Some things didn't seem important enough to share. Some things I saved in case I needed information to get me out of trouble later. When they seemed too disorganized or inept I didn't help them as much."

"What do they know now?" Biana and Dex asked together. They exchanged a brief look, like Woah! You read my mind!

Blur made a thinking face. "Let's see. They know Keefe still hasn't woken up. They know Glimmer is working with you guys now. They don't know about Brummevale. I told them the real identities of Mr. Forkle and Granite, but not anyone else."

Out of the corner of her eye, Sophie saw Dex blow out a small sigh of relief that the Neverseen weren't after his mom.

"They know about how the Moonlark's powers just improved. They know about the extra security measures the Collective discussed installing. And possibly some other stuff that I'm remembering right now."

"Do you know anything about Fintan's escape?" Marella pressed.

Rolling his eyes, Blur let out a long sigh. "What is this, Twenty Questions?"

"It might be even more than twenty." Biana shrugged. "This could go on for a while. We're a very inquisitive bunch. Now, answer."

"I knew we were planning to help him escape, but I have no idea where he is. Or what he has to do with our plans."

Under her breath, Sophie muttered "Helpful."

"When-" Linh started to ask, but before she could finish Mr. Forkle silenced her and said "The council can ask these questions at Jaxx's tribunal. You kids can save your questions until then."

Jaxx let out a fake, panicked laugh. On his face was a mixture of fear and disbelief. "Um... sorry, did you say tribunal?"

Raising an eyebrow, Mr. Forkle said "Surely you didn't expect to join the Neverseen, the Council's greatest enemy, and not face consequences?"

Instead of answering, Jaxx looked down and muttered some more not-nice words.

Mr. Forkle looked at Sophie and her friends. "Thank you kids very much. Especially Miss Glimmer."

"You're welcome." Glimmer answered.

Mr. Forkle took Jaxx's arm and, against Jaxx's protests, glittered away.

Finally, Sophie broke the awkward silence.

"So, who wants mallowmelt?"

*Rereads chapter* *Groans* *Starts hitting Swan Song Chapter Seven with a sledgehammer* SO! BAD! UGH! TERRIBLE!

Lol, I really wish I hadn't decided to make Blur Mist. It was a totally spontaneous decision that I decided on while writing last chapter, and I went with it like "Ooh, what a great plot twist idea! Hehehe I'm so evil." Then, I had no idea where to continue with that "great plot twist," so now I'm just kind of winging it. We'll see how that turns out!

Anyway, please go vote on the Iggy color poll if you haven't already! And, as always, please review!
