-'•Sebastian's POV•'-

I had to kill someone.

A perfectly innocent woman, around my mothers age before she died, with pretty hazel eyes, with an array of freckles across her olive skin.

I didn't learn her name- not before I stabbed my knife into her heart.

I had to do all of that- without giving that woman a warm smile, she only saw my stern, expressionless face as the last thing she ever saw.

Blair chuckled with satisfaction, putting a slim, bony, white hand on my shoulder as the woman slumped to the ground.

"I so do like this version of you better." Blair admired- looping her arm through mine, bringing me away. "This is the brother I've always wanted."

"Have you secured the blood that I want?" Blair demanded the guard standing facing her on her left.

"Yes m'lady, it is all ready in...." He glanced at me and Nyx. "the room."

"Don't worry about saying private information in front of those two, they're totally mine now, you needn't worry."

"The room with the other fae blood."

"Brilliant." She replied happily, digging into more of her food. "Nyx darling?"

The guard walked off, dismissed.

Nyx lifted his head from the food in front of him- sat opposite me- we were all sat in the dining room, well "all" I meant me, Nyx and Blair, no one else ever sat with us.

"Be sure to come to my chamber tonight- I must speak with you about private matters."

It was so hard not to frown- why? Why would she ask that?

After she said to that- everything went quiet. As if Nyx's silence was a "yes." She was about to speak again, opening her mouth-

Nyx started to shake, his expressionless face now straining to make another face.

A deep, angry scowl now could be seen through his features.

"No." He growled, interrupting her next sentence.

Blair stopped dead stabbing her fork into a slice of chicken.

"What?" She asked with disbelief- looking up, confusion for the first time in her black eyes.

He shook even more- foam again starting to dribble down his chin. It was as if stars were taking over those dark eyes of his, taking off the layers of blackness.

"JONATHAN." Screeched Blair angrily, even maybe worried. "BRING SOME OF THAT FAE BLOOD-."

Nyx suddenly made a leap out of his wooden chair, tackling Blair out of hers, both crashing to the stone ground.

I hugged Feyre tightly- our tears soaking each other's hair.
