A Light In The Darkness

Chapter 3

"WHAT" I screamed. They all looked to me no longer laughing instead they all looked genuinely confused. "Well where did you think you were ?" said the woman sitting down.

"Oh I don't know earth maybe !" I said sarcastically

"What court is that darling ?" she said talking to the man with violet eyes. "I don't know Feyre, I've never even heard of such a place" He says, eyeing me much more seriously now.

I was studying him as well, when suddenly I felt a huge bang at my head not physically but it's like something was trying to get in from the inside. I step back and cry out in pain "OW, What the hell" I said rubbing my head back and forth. I looked back up and found the man who was staring at me so intensely stepping forward so I stepped back once more.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my court ?" he said sternly.

"Look I-, I already said I don't know what you're talking about-" I was about to go on and on about how I got here when suddenly I looked down to find my hand on fire...like actual Fire except it was white, WAIT MY HAND WAS ON FIRE, "HELLO A LITTLE HELP HERE MY HAND IS ON FIRE" I said frantically. They were all just staring at the white flames that were now fully covering my hand.

The weird thing about this is don't get me wrong the whole thing is weird but my hand doesn't burn, Normally though a person would be screaming from pain and agony if their hand was engulfed in white flames, but I felt nothing. I looked back up to find everyone still staring at my hand. This was absurd and unrealistic but then again my life was absurd and unrealistic. What the hell was happening.

"HELLO I-"

"Close your hand, ball it into a fist" said the shadow guy.

I was confused but did exactly as he said and the flames went away. They simply disappeared. I looked at him and he looked at me. We stood there for a second and just looked at each other.

"So you really don't know how you ended up here" said Cassian who was now standing behind me.

I turned around to find him scratching his head. " Yes, Truly."

"Now can someone please explain to me what is happening?" I said desperately.

"You're in a land called Prythian The land of the Faeries," the violet eyed man said. I turned to face him.

"The land of the Faeries like actual wings and fairy-dust and tinker-bell and all that" I said wanting to laugh but held it in just so I'm not beheaded.

"No not at all like that" he said weirded out I dont blame him. "Allow me to explain, the land prythian is divided into 7 courts Dawn, Day, Summer, Autumn, Spring, Winter and Night. You are currently in the Night court and I am the high lord and this is my high lady" he said gesturing to the lady next to him whose name I now know as Feyre. "And as for what just happened with your hand and how you got here we have yet to figure out." He was done. I could tell he was because he stepped back next to his high lady and was waiting for a response one I didn't have.

I finally said after quite some time of processing this information "Ok just to get this right you know for my mental stability i'm in magic land home to the Faeries the different kind of course and there are 7 courts and I happen to have fallen into the Night court. Great anything else I should know"

"No that's all for now" he said

"So now what ?" I said

"We'll help you" Said Feyre, the man next to her looked like he wanted to say something but she put her hand in his and said to him "she's young we can't just let her go she needs our help and maybe if we help her she can help us Rhys." I didn't understand what she meant when she said I could help them but I stood quiet anyway.

"Your right darling, your right" he smiled at her.

"You can stay here in the meantime we'll try and figure out how you got here and what happened to you, I know this may be a lot to take in trust me I know but I- we want nothing more than to help you. What's your name sweetheart?"

I was surprised she was so kind. She was willing to help me as a stranger. I just had to know why, why would she want to help me.

"My name is S- Sierra and why would you want to help me if you don't even know who I am?" I asked.

" Nice to meet you Sierra. Well you see I was once in a position similar to yours and no one was there for me. I'm simply doing what I would've wanted done for me, and also you may have- you know what never mind don't worry about that now okay go get changed get some rest we'll talk later.

"Nuala" she called "why don't you help her get suited into one of our guest rooms please"

"Yes of course my lady, come this way please" She said.

I was walking right behind Nuala. My mind was racing with so many questions and thoughts. Those thoughts were interrupted once Nuala opened up the doors to the bedroom. It was amazing the room was huge, the ceilings high there was a balcony that opened up to the evening, it was almost night. God I wonder what Adam is doing right now I just left more like fell through a book but either way I left Adam without a answer to his confession I feel guilty but what did he expect he just laid it on me like I was supposed to be okay with it no I was annoyed and upset and I deserved time to think about it but now I don't know if i'll ever see him again.

" There are clothes in the closet and the bathroom has all the essentials. Just call if you need anything is that okay ?"

I hadn't even noticed she asked a question I was too lost in my thoughts. "Uh- yes , sorry yes that's perfect thank you thanks a lot." I sputtered.

She quietly exited the room closing the door behind her and I was left in this big room with all my thoughts to think about and what the hell I was going to do.

I decided I should start up a bath and get changed. I was still in my dress that was pretty much torn up so I took it off and hopped into the bath. I didn't realize how much I needed this. It felt soothing and relaxing. The soaps were lined up next to the bath. I picked the one that seemed the most appealing. It was vanilla.

I stepped out of the bath and walked to the full closet of clothing for some reason I felt guilty putting on these clothes they weren't mine. I clearly didn't know these people. It felt weird. But I had nothing to wear. I had no choice. The closet was full of weird clothing I had never seen before, don't get me wrong they were all pretty and stylish but it's not what you would see on a Manhattan runway or at New York fashion week. I picked what seemed to be the least fashionable. I wasn't here to make a fashion statement. Everything was extravagant. I went for the black 2 piece set that was simple enough and I picked out black boots that matched.

I went and lied down on the very soft bed that made me want to instantly fall asleep but instead I laid on the soft fabric thinking about everything. Could I trust these people? What was that flame? How did I get here? Is Adam okay?

I was going to break. I wasn't strong enough for this. I had to put up a different front in front of them, Like I always did with everyone else but this was too much what the hell did life have against me. So I cried and cried about my parents leaving me, the men who touched me, about falling through this portal, not knowing where I am, It felt exhausting keeping it in so I just let it out.

....Someone knocked on the door. It'd been sometime later and I felt a little better, lighter perhaps still scared and confused but better. It was the same maid from before she told me that I was being called by the high lady and high lord and they wanted to talk. I told her I'll be there in a second. She waited till I got ready and followed her to where all of them were sitting down talking and once I walked in the room went silent.

"Hello Sierra it's good to see you have a seat we need to tell you something"

I walked over to the table the whole way. I could feel the shadow one's eyes watching me like a hawk. I just knew he was watching and eyeing me. I sat myself down. I was nervous but didn't show it.

"We've been talking about what happened and we can't seem to figure out how you ended up here" she said softly. "but we do know what happened to you outside, well at least we suspect what it is. We think you have the gift..."

Oh boy this was about to get real interesting.
