I hope you enjoy this chapter. It is not as, in my mind at least, exciting, but it is leading up to chapter 3. Thank you again!

Feyre

For the rest of the night, sleep did not come. Although when the light of the sun touched my window, I had a plan.

A young girl that I have seen around the court before knocked on my door around eight. This shocked me because Tamlin usually would allow me to do my own thing and join him as I wished. I didn't want to worry the girl, so I let her in. She is about a half a foot shorter than me and has doe brown scared eyes. Her hair was a similar color to her eyes. She couldn't have been more than 13 if she was a human. I not sure how old that would make her since she is high fea.

"Hello, I'm Feyre." I paused waiting for her response, but she just nodded and walked to my armor. She opened the doors to it and looked inside. The pulled out a light yellow dress with a blue sash. Aw shit, I forgot I had to wear uncomfortable dresses here. Maybe coming here was not a great option. Wow, I need to pull myself together I can handle pretty plumbed dresses. I am the High Lady of the Night Court, I have the power of all the courts, and I can take on a yellow dress.

I entered my bathroom with the dress the young fea picked out. I changed alone waving off her offer to help. When I re-emerged into my bedroom, the girl was in front of my mirror brush in hand. I suppose I will be getting the full treatment today. As I sat, I decided that I would make an attempt at conversation.

"What's your name?"

"Naveah." her tentative voice replied.

"What a lovely name! Naveah, could you tell me where Alis is please?" I sudden need for my old friend hit me.

"I do not know lady-"

"Please call me Feyre." I interrupted her.

"Oh, um, I do not know Feyre." She looked scared as she said this. I am not sure if she was afraid to call me by my first name or if it was something else. For Naveah sake I decided not to push the issue, but instead, sit in silence as she finished my hair.

I looked in my mirror. Wow, Rhysand would hate this dress. I would want to wear it in front of him so that he could rip it off of me. Even though it hasn't even been twenty-four hours without him, I missed him dearly.

Rhysand?... Are you there?

There was no response. I looked over to the girl, "You can go, tell your High Lord that I will be down in a moment." She nodded and left.

Rhysand I don't know if you are there or not, but I am going to send Lucien to you. Please don't kill him. I added this as a side note. I will give him my blood to heal Cassian and Azriel… I love you.

This was the plan I had thought of in the sleepless hours of the morning. I suppose there is nothing else to do but go to breakfast.

I entered the dining room. I could see the damage that the chamber endured. It was evident that someone tried to cover it up, but the damage could still be seen. Tamlin sat at the head of the table with Lucien on his right. I took my seat at his left.

"Feyre, you look wonderful. Doesn't it feel better not to have to wear fighting gear anymore and just being here?" Tamlin asked with a wide smile on his face. I thought of what my actual answer would be and what Rhysand's answer would be, but I decided it was a bit too early to blow my cover.

"It is just wonderful." I echoed his words. Lucien looked at me, and I could not tell what expression his eyes held.

"Feyre, I know you just got back, and I would love to spend every moment with you, but I must go to our outer borders this morning and reinforce the wards. I know that Hybern will be coming to collect what was promised him, but I would like to be able to know when he is coming. Also, I want to do this to make sure that any other court can not get in." Tamlin stated. Is the cycle of him never being home starting again? If so I wouldn't mind, however, it would not be beneficial to the actual reason I am here. To spy.

"Darling," calling Tamlin the pet name that Rhysand calls me felt like having knives stabbed into my gut, but I must play the part. "Must you go so soon?"

"I have to, I am sorry."

"Then take me with you. We agreed that I would be included from now on."

He looked conflicted. "You will be." He hesitated. "Let me go alone only today when you readjust."

"Fine just this once." Having him out of the house today could be good. I can talk to Lucien without being interrupted now.

Tamlin smiled, "I will leave now then, so I can hurry back." Tamlin and Lucien raised. Lucien can't leave.

"My love", gag, "Could Lucien stay if you cannot, I wish to reconnect with my friend."

"That will be fine." Tamlin left.

Lucien and I walked the garden. I knew that I need to get my blood to the Night Court and that Lucien is the only one that can do it. I must take this risk.

"Lucien, you are right," I said breaking the silence.

"About?"

"I am still mates with Rhysand, and I still love him dearly. Also, I wanted him to take my sisters because I knew that he could keep them safe." Lucien looked relieved when I said this.

"And why are you choosing to trust me now?" He is too smart sometimes.

"I need you take this to the Night Court." I pulled out a shampoo bottle with my blood inside it. Lucien looked flabbergasted. "As soon as possible. Like right now would be best."

"I can't just leave he'll know. And why would I do this?"

"Because you're my friend, and because your mate is there." That last part seemed to compel him a bit. "Tamlin won't even know you're gone; he'll be away all day."

"What happens when I get there, and they try to kill me?" Lucien asked. It was a decent question.

"I told him that you were coming already." Not exactly a lie. I did tell Rhysand. I just didn't receive an answer in return.

"Fine."

"Okay go quickly! Let me know how they are!" My excitement of helping them was overwhelming.

"Where do I go? I know they - you have a secret city. Where is it?"

"Just go to the border. Trust me they will know that you are there as soon as you set foot in the Night Court."

"They didn't know last time." My mind flipped back to when Lucien tried to take me back here forcibly. Separate me from Rhysand. I let out a groan.

"They'll be waiting for you, this time."

Rhysand

Rhysand?... Are you there?

Feyre. Her mind's voice sounded like music to my ears. I am right here Darling.

Rhysand I don't know if you are there or not.

Feyre I am right here! Why can't she hear me? Maybe this is Tamlin not letting any other court, especially Night Court through the borders. I guess he did not send up the same precautions for the inside of the court.

But I am going to send Lucien to you. Please don't kill him. I will give him my blood to heal Cassian and Azriel… I love you.

I love you too. But her mind was already closed. This is great. At this point, I think it is the only thing that could save Cassian. Az isn't too bad. Mor is all over him. If only Nesta would show as much fussing. She more growls then fusses, at least it's a start.

Feyre, once again she is saving us. She is the best thing that has happened to this court. If it had me or her that had to be behind enemy lines, it should have been me. She is needed here more than I am. Okay, maybe she doesn't know much about the military, but that is why the rest of the court is here. To help me- us rule. She hasn't even gotten the chance to her land as the High Lady of the Night Court. I can't wait to walk her around Velaris. The people will be so welcoming to her. Although the first night she is back she will not be able to see our city. She will only be seeing our bedroom, maybe the bathroom, or the kitchen if I want a feast.

Missing her hit like a punch in the gut. No more like a thousand stab wound to the chest. Hearing her once in awhile is nice. Oh, my God, It has only been a day. I don't know how I can deal with this for days? Weeks? Months? There is no way in hell she is staying there longer than a year. I will forcibly remove her. But, will I? Is that something Tamlin would do? Damn it; I would get so angry at Feyre for comparing me to that beast, and now I am doing it too.

I kind of understand where Tamlin was coming from, when he went crazy to get her. I would, will never do what he did. But, for Feyre? Maybe I would. No, no that is not what she would choose. I have to let her play her hands. I will follow her suit.

After receiving word that a cue would be coming, I thought it would be best to tell Cassian. I found Nesta in a chair reading. At this moment the harshness from her face was not there. I could see Feyre in Nesta. I pictured Feyre our home above the mountain reading the book she froze over. I smiled at the memory of her throwing it at my head. Or maybe that was her shoe? I don't remember the exact details that encounter was months ago.

"How is he doing?" I asked Nesta.

The softness left her face and was replaced by her normal smugness. "You can ask him yourself." She stood and left the room.

"Charmer," Cassian said laying in bed. He was on his stomach his wings were suspended by strings hauling from the ceiling. The healers said that this would be the best way for them to heal.

"Yes, she is," I replied with an easy grin. "Feyre found a way to get her blood here. Hopefully, that will heal you. I think it will be here today."

He made a chuckling noise.

"What?"

"She does everything for us. I thought that when she wrote the note to Tamlin that was one of the hardest things she had to do. I was wrong she now has to live with the bastard so our hides could be saved and she is still taking care of us."

Happiness flickered through me. Good, I am glad I am not the only one to care deeply about her. It hasn't been that long since our mating bond clicked into place and I thought I would be crazier hearing that Cassian cares for her too. It didn't I wasn't it was comforting because I knew he would never land a hand on her. My gut turned thinking about Tamlin's hands - not going to go there right now.

"We don't deserve her."

"No, we don't."

I could feel Feyre at that moment. Rhys? Cauldron I hope you are there. Lucien is coming now.

Armen and I met Lucien at the night courts border. I brought her to scare him even more than he probably already was.

I could smell Feyre. On him. I growled. Lucien put his hands up, showing a sign of peace. Armen felt it too. She was also aware of my mating bond issues. She put a hand on my arm to keep me from tearing him apart.

"I am only here on Feyre's request." He spurted out. I didn't like her name on his lips. Armen turned to me.

"Put your cock back in your pants so we continue." She said this quiet enough that Lucien could not hear. Damn. She is right. I am the High Lord of the Night Court, and I should act like it.

"I know. Can I have what you brought." I said gaining control over my fae senses.

"Here."
