Bonus Chapter #3 Mor- The Party (Chapter 17)
I flipped my hair over my shoulder, glancing at Feyre worryingly, she looked so upset… I needed to find a way to make her feel better. Slipping away from Azriel and Amren, I crept to where she was sitting and plopped onto the couch next to her, wrapping an arm around her as a smirk made its way onto my lips, "Wanna hear a secret about Rhys when he's drunk?"
She shook her head, pulling herself out of her thoughts before replying, "He doesn't seem that drunk."
I snorted, "That's because he's good at hiding it. The truth is, when he's drunk he's reckless as fuck. Dare him to do just about anything and he'll do it, no matter how embarrassing or stupid. He'll never say no."
Her mouth dropped and her eyes drew wide, "Rhys? Are we talking about the same Rhys here," a chuckle, "A lot of his moves are… calculated."
I looked over at him, laughing at a stupid joke Cassian told, "Not drunk Rhys. In fact we made up a game intended for our drunken selves. It's basically truth or dare, except it's only dare. And three of us declare dares on each other and the best one wins. That person has to then do the dare," her eyes shined, "Wanna play?"
Poor Rhys… he wasn't aware of the position I just put him in, wasn't aware of the dare he would be doing tonight.
Feyre laughed, "Is that even a question? But how do you decide which three?"
"The three least drunk," I called back as I got up and made my way to the middle of the room before clapping my hands to get everybody's attention, "Hey! Does anyone wanna play Dare?"
Everyone called out in approval as I looked around the room for someone who wasn't rip-roaring drunk, "Ok then… Amren, you dare the first person."
She shot a devilish smirk at Cassian, "Fine. I dare Cassian to eat the hot pepper I-"
"That's not bad!"
Frowning at him, she continued, "I'm not done yet… I was going to tell you that I've been growing it special, it's flavors will be the hottest you've ever tasted. I used mandrake essence to make it as spicy as it is."
I laughed as his mouth dropped a little and he quickly motioned for Elain to make another dare but she passed it onto a smirking Rhys, "Feyre darling," he purred, "I dare you to swipe one of Amren's many jewels without her notice by the end of the week."
I raised an eyebrow, not expecting Rhys to have come up with a good one while so drunk; Cassian started whooping and hollering for that one to win. I raised my hands, trying to reign everyone back in, "You're forgetting the final option!" I turned towards Rhys, already knowing that I was about to win, "I dare you to jump off the bridge overlooking the Sidra."
Immediately everyone forgot about Rhys's dare, roaring for mine as his mouth dropped. I laughed, glancing at Feyre before yelling out, "Great! Let's get moving!"
Cassian and Azriel started singing as I looped an arm through Feyre's, laughing as we made our way out the door and down the street.

Wind whipped my hair into my face as Feyre looked over the railing, "He's not going to do it."
I looked over the railing with her, smirking at her, "Yes he will. I told you, he'll do anything when he's drunk. He's reckless."
Rhys walked up to the railing, smiling and making a big show of it as I made my way in front of him, "Are you ready!?"
A chorus of whoops and hollers. I turned towards Rhys, "Do you have anything to say before you jump?"
His eyes ran over Feyre as a smug smile played on his lips. He took a small step back as he opened his mouth to speak- a yelp came out of him as he flung his arms out, attempting to balance himself as he tipped backwards.
We all roared with laughter as he fell down further, all of us racing for the railing. He flipped before he hit the water, and for a second we were all silent until his head popped out of the water, cheering erupted from us as he began to swim towards the shore. I smirked at Feyre and her dropped jaw, "I told you."
She laughed as Rhys winnowed up to us, a stupid grin painted on his face as he stumbled towards Feyre, water dripping everywhere. He wrapped his arms around her and she gasped at the cold of his clothes. He stared at her intently before whispering something; out of the corner of my eye I saw Cassian nudging Azriel. Feyre's own grin broadened at whatever Rhys said before he quickly leaned in and kissed her.
Whistles and hoots rang out as Feyre leaned into him before they pulled back and we all started to head back to the house, our loud conversations ringing down the street. My gaze drifted towards Feyre, satisfied that she seemed to feel better than before. I took the bottle of alcohol from Azriel and took a long swig. All I could do now was hope that she would take care of herself on the way back to recovery; it would be hard, but she had all of us, and we would do anything for them.
A/N- OK! Now it's officially done... no more bonus chapter or additions to the storyline. I hoped you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it! It was defiantly the biggest writing project I've ever given myself and I honestly can't believe I'm done. Thank you so much for your support! :D
