I'll bet you all think you know where this is going, but you don't! I don't even know! All I know is that it's not going the way I originally planned it to be going, if that makes any sense. Sorry I haven't updated in a while, by the way. Anyway, here's the next chapter!

Chapter 3

Clara

So all of us, except Arkarian, of course, hang out with the new group. While us Truthseers are really only supposed to see if we can find more info on them, we still have to act nice and everything. Of course, that's not too hard for me to do. I'm naturally sweet and kind. It's easier for me to get close to Kyle than it is anyone else. His bright blonde hair companied with those light blue eyes makes him irresistible. I wish I were that cute. Stupid auburn hair, I think to myself. Stupid dark blue eyes. Blue eyes are good, but not when they're too dark, like mine. Even Ethan's eyes aren't this dark!

It takes about a month or so to finally earn all their trust, and we know that we can trust them in turn, since it's written clearly in their thoughts. Do you think we can introduce them to Arkarian yet? I ask Matt.

Yeah, I think so. What about you, Neriah?

I'd say so, Neriah says. Rochelle?

Yep.

Then let's go! Matt whispers something to Isabel, and her face lightens. She turns to Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Kyle, and Vanessa, and says, "Do you guys want to meet my boyfriend?"

They look surprised. "Sure," Harry says, speaking for his whole group.

"Well, come on then!" And she leads them out the door.

Someone's happy, I remark.

Matt smiles. Of course she is.

Isabel

We get to Arkarian's chambers, and he opens the door for us. Clearly, someone told him we were coming. None of the other group seem too surprised, but from what all the Truthseers found in their thoughts, they're used to stuff like this.

I tell them all to wait there while I go get Arkarian. I run down the long hallway, looking for the room with my soul mate in it. I finally find him, and give him a huge hug. "Well, are you going to come out and say hi?" I ask, but he shakes his head.

"I'll get them to come in here," he says, and then closes his eyes, communicating with someone. A little while later, everybody else comes into the room.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Jacob, Vanessa," I say, "This is Arkarian."

"Are you a Metamorphmagus?" Ron asks. Hermione elbows him.

"No," Arkarian says.

I can't help my curiosity. "What's that?" I ask.

Ron's about to answer, but Hermione elbows him again. She whispers something to him. "Oh, come off it, Hermione! We can trust them!"

Harry, Ginny, Jacob, and Vanessa all nod. Hermione looks defeated.

"Alright, fine," Harry says. "We'll tell you all about us…"

Short, I know, but I can't help myself! To make it up to you all, I'll post the next chapter quickly, okay?
