time has never been on their side. every last second they have together feels fleeting, like at any moment they will be torn apart from each other once again. it's a trap. as soon as azriel found where hybern was keeping feyre's sisters, rhysand knew exactly what they'd be facing. he spent the night running through every possible outcome in his head, trying to think up any sort of plan, any advantages they might have. only to realize just how doomed their chances are.
his chest tightens, yearning for the will to stop the clock: to stay in this moment for just a little longer, to soak up a time where it is just them. a hand curls at the nape of her neck, his other arm snaking around feyre's waist to close the space. rhysand tilts his forehead down to connect with hers, eyelids fluttering shut. an inhale, savoring every note of her scent, the warmth of her presence, just to be brought down to earth with the cold reality of her words : no matter what happens. he cannot hide how he flinches, the way his lips curl downward as they press to the top of her head. a small nod. " whatever it takes. you have my word. "
@rhysie : ❛ no matter what it takes, i won't let anything happen to you. ❜
i knew he meant it with every cell in his body and that he would uphold his promise if it was the last thing he ever did. he had already proved that time and time again, from the first moment he put a gun in my hands, risking everything he had to ensure i escaped amarantha’s clutches. he would do it again without hesitating. i didn’t bother voicing the silent question out loud. was i really worth it? how much more could either of us really stand to lose? i refused to let myself imagine for even a second what this life would be like without him. “ i know, ” my voice cracked as i nodded, my eyes boring into his as i clutched that perfect, beautiful face.
“ we go in together. ” it was terrible and reckless — i tried to be brave, to remain steady. the fury and guilt running through my blood was almost enough to trample out the fear. we were running head first into an obvious trap, but there was no other choice. no time to waste. i couldn’t wait another second knowing hybern had my sisters, my mind running wild trying not to think about the torment they were very likely being subjected to. i couldn’t save clare, but i would do everything i could to ensure my sisters wouldn’t endure the same fate. i wasn’t walking out of there without them and i knew rhys had to know that — the same way he couldn’t if it were any of his family in their place. not when they were there all because of me. “ we get them out. promise me. no matter what happens, we get them out. ”
