"Go away," I grumbled as I swatted his hands away.
"Come on, we need to go now if we want to make it around the whole city today," he laughed, pulling the blanket off me.
"Nyx!" I gasped as the cold air seeped into my body.
"Don't be so stubborn and I won't have to take such drastic measures," he was still laughing.
"Fine, I'm up now buzz off," I said, shooing him out the door.
"You have ten minutes," he called as he walked down the hall.
I scowled at his back as I closed the door. It didn't take me long to change into some casual clothes and go to meet with Nyx in the foyer.
"You're a minute early, I'm impressed," he said with a smirk.
I just punched his arm and we walked out into the city. He took me to the sweet shop Mor showed me first.
"Good Morning Mrs Conway, how are you?" Nyx asked the old woman with a smile.
"Hello Nyx, I'm very well thank you, this is the second time you have been in here this week dear," she said as she looked at me.
"This is my cousin Jasmine, you made her day the last time she came," Nyx said with a warm smile.
"Since when did you have a cousin young man?" She asked.
"Since his grandfather fathered a little girl before Rhys who then had me thirteen years ago." I replied before turning to look at all of the sweets.
"Have any favourites Jaz?" Nyx asked with a small laugh.
"I wouldn't know, the lollypop Mrs Conway gave me was the first and only sweet I have ever had," I replied, not stopping my blush.
"Now that simply won't do!" Nyx exclaimed.
He picked up a bag then put a little of everything inside. He placed the now full bag on the counter at the back of the shop and asked Mrs Conway to put it on his account.
Once we had left the shop, the bag of sweets now in a pocket dimension, Nyx led me through the Rainbow and into a little café.
He ordered two hot chocolates with extra marshmallows, we sat next to the window and I watched as people passed.
Nyx let out a small groan and my eyes snapped to him.
"What is wrong?" I asked.
"Mum says we have to go to the court of Nightmares tonight, you included, we have to go home to get ready." He said as he ran his fingers through his hair.
"Do I even want to know?" I asked him, already knowing the answer.
"Finish your hot chocolate quickly, there is a lot to go through with you for tonight." He had gone from looked like the happiest person alive to cold and distant.
It wasn't long before we were back home. Mor and Feyre sat me down and explained to me that the Court of Nightmares was the other city in the Night Court, it was full of horrible people and they had gotten wind of my existence.
All I would need to do was stand there stone faced and bow when I had to, Nyx would then winnow me home.
Nuala dressed me in a stunning black dress with a tight fitting top, lace sleeved that cut off at my elbows and an elegant flowing skirt.

There was a soft knock on the door before Nyx walked in, wearing a smart black suit. He gave me a small smile before walking over and producing a tiara, sliding it carefully into my hair.
"Nyx, I can't wear a tiara," I said, reaching up to take it off but he grabbed my hands.
"Yes, you can, it. suits you, besides, it was my mum's idea." He said, taking me in.
"is it really that bad?" I asked, reading every emotion on his face.
"It's not amazing but once you are introduced, we can come back here and make a start on those sweets." He tried his hardest to grin, but it didn't work.
"Come on you two or we will be late!" Rhys called.
