I'm Not Dead (Rhysand's Sister)

Chapter 6

 Aelin~

"What happened to you" he asks as he leaves my head "let's go find the rest of your court, I tell you all at once" I say so he leads me down the hall into a small living room where the rest of the court is sitting making small talk with each other.

But the room goes silent when we walk in "Aelin is ready to tell her story" Rhys tells them.

Rowan is the only one who knows everything about my life, he is the only one who knows what happened during my two month stay with Maeve but I feel like I want to share with these people they make me feel comfortable.

So I start at the beginning I tell them how the gods brought us back to Erilia, I them of all of the happy times in the palace, Aedion and I playing pranks on our nannies.

When I get to the next part i pause "Then when i was 8 i woke up covered in my parents blood the assassin was still in our house so my mothers lady in waiting gave up her life so i could run" "is that where you got all of those scars" Cassian interrupts "No" i say and i continue "I almost died that night but a ancient queen took pity on me and i was saved by the King of Assassins, he trained me as a human for eight years and i quickly became Ardalen's best assassin but he killed my boyfriend and shipped me off to Endovier the slave camp, That is where i got my three biggest scars" i say looking at Cassian.

Before anyone can interrupt I continue "Then the Crown Prince of Ardalan took me to be his champion I won but at great costs, I went around and instead of killing the kings enemies I hid them until the captain of the guard figured out that I was fae. He sent me to Donrelle to get trained I challenged the fae queen to save my trainer from a blood oath then I headed back to Ardalan to work on getting my kingdom back" Now everyone was on the edge of their seats Feyre looked horrified and Rhys looked like he was about to murder some one. 

"I saved my cousin and we freed magic, I banished a demon from the princes body. We started our hunt for Wry keys so we could banish the Valg and we gained allies along the way. Until one day we faced of against Maeves troops, Maeve waited for me to be drained after destroying a hoard of Ilken she gave me a choice either I go with her or she kill one of my friends so I went with her". 

I take a break to prepare my self for the next part "everyday for two months Carin tortured  me he cut me, whipped me, burned me, and did things I will only talk about with my mate then Maeve would come in and go into my mind. She would mess with my memories and show me fake scenarios trying to break me so I would swear myself to her." 

I pause and look back to Cassian "thats were I got my scars from, I finally escaped and I sacrificed myself to forge a lock that could seal away the valg, thats when you two saw me" I say gesturing at Feyre and Rhys "then I went to fight for my kingdom we won but I lost many great people" I tell them. 

"I excepted that I had lost most of my power and my human form and I went on rebuilding my kingdom until Rhys called me a human, I felt my powers return that day in the library with Mor but I held them in, I thought using my powers to spar with Cassian would take the edge off of it but once I let some out I could't keep it in anymore so I let some of it out as you saw earlier" I finished. 

"It's all my fault" Rhys blurts out, I look at him "what happened to me is in no way your fault, the gods had chosen me to do this thousands of years before you were born and everything that I did was for a reason it only made me stronger, I met my mate, and have some of the best friends I could have ever met. You could have done nothing to stop it and I'm still here so never say it was your fault" I tell him 

"Wait what did you mean by some of your magic because that was a lot of fire" Feyre interrupts "how much magic was left after you did that" she continues. 

"That barley grazed my well, I've never reached a real bottom of my power I though I did once but it was a fake bottom my well of magic is bottomless"  I tell them.

Mor was about to ask a question but before she could I ran the the nearby window, a hawk flew in and turned in to a familiar green eyed bastard "Rowan" I breathed as I ran into his arms.

Until next time peace out!
