OC In throne of glass

18

Okay,after witnessing some tearful embraces and a few more hours of spying,Neon discovered that Lorcan was currently hunting Aelin in Rifthold and Rowan had come to protect her,it wasn't the entire cadre but it would have to do.He had unfinished business with the two fae warriors anyway.It seemed that Rowan intended to help his queen plot against the commander and take him down together.This was perfect,if he could get two of them together than he could kill Rowan and capture Lorcan instead of Aelin and certainly lead the rest of his whoring fighters towards wherever he wished and if the fire breathing queen became a problem then he'd do away with her too.

Later that night, Lorcan was stalking Aelin exactly as they predicted and the queen had set a little trap for him,she intended to trick Lorcan into following her scent straight into some Wrdhounds,Neon wasn't worried,Lorcan would definitely be able to hold his own against them so the contingency plan that Aelin and Rowan made would definitely come into effect.

Perfect.

Sure enough in a few moments,Lorcan had Aelin pinned against the wall,ready to tear out her throat,Neon spotted Rowan a few metres behind him, stealthily making his way towards the warrior who towered over his carranam. Neon silently hoped that Lorcan would kill Aelin just to make Rowan suffer even more before Neon ended him,it would also get rid of another nuisance.

Shortly Rowan stood behind him and had his blade on Lorcan's throat,disappointingly Aelin was still alive but that was fine,he could use the challenge.

As Lorcan began some pathetic dissertation on why Rowan shouldn't kill him,Neon jumped in between them,Rowan instinctively jumping back as Neon plunged his blade forward,narrowly missing his target as Lorcan quickly manoeuvred to the side involuntarily  dragging Aelin with him.The cadre commander released the assassin princess and readied his blade.

"You again"

"Miss me?"

Rowan barrelled forward,thrusting his blade which was evaded by Neon back flipping behind him.Aelin leapt behind Rowan and slashed for his eye as Lorcan struck for Neon's side,both strikes were simultaneously evaded with Neon dropping on the ground and sweeping both of their legs from beneath them and then cartwheeling backwards as Rowan swung Downward.

"WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?"
Rowan demanded.

"My my,how withered your memory is in your old age"Neon sarcastically pouted
"We have never met you before" Lorcan snarled
"We haven't wronged you in any way"

Spineless cowards.

Aelin leaned and tried to hack at his legs,only to be met with a solid kick to the face, followed by a strike to the jaw when the force moved her body up and backwards,Aelin landed on her back,on top of Lorcan,blood oozing from her mouth.

"Stay out of this princess,this is between me and your new friends"

This brief monologue gave Rowan enough time to kick Neon in the face,sending him tumbling to the ground.

"You're not human,what are you?"

"Your end"

Neon jumped to his feet as the 3 killers surrounded him and began to slowly circle him wondering where to strike,where he wouldn't parry or block.

"You seem to have a bad habit in poking your nose in others' business". Aelin drawled in that smug tone of hers.

Neon rolled his eyes and bent backwards,kicking at Rowan and thrusting his blade into Lorcan's crotch.Both dodged the attack,whilst Aelin lunged forward and slashed at his face.Neon managed to roll away before he was sliced but the blow had cut his mask of.

When he stood up once again,the 3 were almost blindsided by the warrior that stood before them.He was young,younger than Aelin yet he was the most beautiful male they had ever seen.

"Remember me now?"

"We have never seen you before"

"Well then,perhaps the name Chris rings a bell?"

"Who the hell is Chris?"

Seething with rage, Neon charged forward, slashing at Rowan and quickly jumping away from strikes thrown by Aelin and Lorcan,Aelin quickly barrel rolled towards him and tried to sweep his feet from underneath him but Neon was quick to front flip behind her and kick her in the back causing her to crash onto the ground.The simultaneous slash he swung at Lorcan landed true leaving Lorcan's abdomen spraying blood while Neon barrel rolled to Rowan's side and struck,Rowan swiftly parried it but Neon forced him backwards simply by walking forward.Rowan was amazed at the sheer strength of the slimly built assailant.
"You killed my partner" Neon growled "tore him apart and carved your names into him and now have the nerve to lie about it"

Aelin and Lorcan who had just collected themselves froze and Rowan just looked dumbstruck.

"You fool, none of us have ever killed a man of that name and we don't carve our names into our enemies.

"YOUR SCENTS WERE ON HIM!"

Neon had enough of these lies, he would kill them,all three of them then he would raze Wendlyn himself, killing every last fucking fae bastard and bitch who was ruled by Maeve, he'd be doing them a favour anyway .He began to strike repeatedly at Rowans body,the swings expertly being parried by the latter as Lorcan crept behind him and lunged forward only for his blade to be met with a lightning-quick backward parry.Neon then jumped up and and kicked Rowan in the face before black flipping away from a swing from Lorcan

And unwittingly, right onto Aelin's blade.

"You ought to mind your surroundings more"

The mockingly condescending tone barely registered as He felt the icy steel pierce his back. he quickly thrust himself forward off of the weapon and whirled around slashing for Aelin's chest.She managed to jump back fast enough to prevent the blow from being lethal but her chest still leaked blood, oozing out onto her clothes.

Neon could feel it,his wound letting blood plentifully fall,too much blood,he wouldn't survive if he stayed here,he had to get to his medical supplies and he needed to do it fast.
