Everyone, I started school today. Usually that would mean that my chapters would get longer and come more regularly, but since I am fairly sure that this is going to be the final chapter of this story, that isn't really going to apply. But, this chapter should be longer, as I am going to try to wrap everything up, so we'll see how that goes. On to the finale! Enjoy!

Feyre:

The sound of my ring sawing through the rope was the only sound around me. It seemed like the only sound in the world. It seemed like the constant back and forth was the world, the feeling and noise echoing back and forth around in the well of darkness that was all around me.

I had found the sharp edge on the blue stone in the ring I had stolen back from the Weaver's cottage—Rhys' mom's ring—hours ago, and since then I had been using it to break the rope binding me. The Faebane was still in my blood, and I couldn't touch my magic, so it was the best option.

None of the Nightmare's had come to give me food, or water yet, and I wasn't passed out or dead, so I couldn't have been their captive for too long, which gave me hope.

SNAP! The rope around my wrists fell away and I brushed the loosened pieces off my wrist. I still couldn't see around me, so I didn't know if there was a better tool to cut the ropes on my legs with around me, which left the ring as my only option, once again.

I had to get out of here fast. The longer I spent trying to free myself and escape, the longer the Nightmares would be running around my city, hurting those I loved. And the longer Rhysand would have to rip our city to shreds looking for me.

No one could doubt my mate's devotion to Velaris. Not after what he did when Amarantha came around. But I didn't doubt for a second that he wouldn't go to all extremes looking for me. He had lost everyone else. He had Cass and Az, and Mor and Amren, but it wasn't the same. They were connected to him like I was. They had their own connections, hundreds of years old and stronger than anything. Anything but a mating bond.

And I knew my mate. He would let the city crumble before letting that bond snap for real. And I refused to let him do that, for his own sake.

SNAP! The ropes binding my legs to the chair freed, and I was stumbling up to my feet, legs weak from disuse, trying to get to a door.

I couldn't see a thing though. I had no idea how big the room was, or what was in it. There could be a door in front of me, or the Nightmares with weapons trained on me.

It flashed me back to when Lucien and I had fled the Spring Court and I hadn't been able to tap into my magic to shift my eyes to see in the dark. What I wouldn't give for that now, so I could get out of here faster.

Shuffling forward, my feet not leaving the ground, I tried to be as quiet as possible as I made my way to what was hopefully a wall, arms out in front of me to feel anything in front of me.

My heart beat sounded deafening in the silence, like someone would hear it at any moment and come to tie me back to the chair.

There. Groping into the darkness, I felt the hard, cold stone of the wall, and followed it, figuring it would lead me to a door at some point. I figured right too, and in a matter of moments I was fumbling around for the door knob.

Yes! Yes! The door swung inward, letting in light. And letting me out.

Running, running, running. I was running through the streets of Velaris. Frantic. Searching. Mate. Where was my mate? Where was Rhysand?

My feet were bare, and I was filthy, but I didn't care. Where was my family? I had to get to them before the Nightmares did something.

I was so focused on finding my family that it didn't even occur to me to go up in the air where I could go faster for minutes. Valuable minutes.

The running that I was doing was moving my blood around faster, circulating the Faebane and getting it through my system. It should have been fading either way by now, but I could really feel it at this point.

It was just enough to snap my wings out and take off, getting myself up into the air.

Immediately my eyes landed on the two figures flying together a few hundred yards to my left. Cassian and Azriel.

My thoughts were in a jumble, all mixed up and out of focus. There was only them, a goal. Get to them. Get to Rhysand. Get to Rhysand. Get revenge on the Nightmares.

"AZRIEL! CASSIAN!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, but it didn't come out as powerful as I wanted. I had been given no water, and my throat was dry so my shout came out as more of a whisper. And my wings were faltering too. I was weak. The nightmares had wanted it that way.

I dipped in the air, faltering. "CASSIAN! AZRIEL!" I tried again. It was better this time. I was closer to them.

Two heads whipped in my direction as I faltered again, and the Illyrians raced towards me, relief visibly washing over both of them. And then terror and horror as my wings fully gave out and the exhaustion crashed into me, the adrenaline from my escape fading fast. As I dropped.

My wings vanished, leaving me helpless as I plummeted down towards the cobblestone streets of Velaris, unable to winnow with some of the Faebane still in my system. Unable to do anything.

The air shot out of my lungs as my fall was abruptly stopped. Azriel had caught me, Cassian only milliseconds behind.

"Thank you," I croaked out before sleep swallowed me again, knowing I was safe in my family's arms.

Rhysand:

Cassian and Az barged through the door of the townhouse, where I was wearing a track in the thick carpet. Cass had let me into his mind minutes ago, showing me what was happening across the city as they saw Feyre. My heart had almost stopped when my wife's wings had vanished and she had started falling towards the city, and I had cheered when Azriel had caught her.

And now I was waiting to be reunited with my Mate, so we could hunt down Hybern's last spies together. So we could destroy them together.

Because the High Lord and Lady of the Night Court were back together.

Okay. So that was shorter than I had planned it to be, and the writing wasn't top notch, but I finally got the story up there, and the finale is out! The story is done! And I will miss writing for this, but if you are in the TOG fandom, I just published a story with my friend, TheForsakenCourier there, called Fate and Finals, so definitely check that out! Thank you all for reading my story, I love you all! Leave a review and tell me how you liked this story! Bye!
