Cassian x Rhysand's sister!ofc

[3:22pm] It's been two weeks since Rhysand came back with his sister, after being held Under The Mountain. Two long weeks and since then nobody was allowed to even enter her room. High Lord explained it as he wanted to give her space and time to rest after long years of tortures.

Cassian understood all of this. He knew that whatever happened there wasn't pleasant, especially when he found out that the siblings were separated. It couldn't mean anything nice. He understood his meanings. He also wanted her to get better and rest as much as she needed to. Hell, if it helped he would stay as far away from her as possible. If it meant she'd get better, he wouldn't even think twice.

But on the other hand he wanted to see her. When Rhysand walked inside the House of Wind holding his unconscious sister, Cassian's heart stopped for a second. She was so small and fragile, someone totally different than he remembered forty nine years ago.

Cassian entered woman's room as quietly as he could. He knew that it was really hard to wake her up, but he wouldn't take that chance anymore. He walked slowly to the chair that was near the bed - the one that Rhysand was sitting during the nights, especially when he couldn't sleep - and sat down.

He didn't know how long he was in that room. Minutes, hours, days? It didn't matter. His eyes was locked on her the whole time. Thinking about everything that happened. How for almost fifty years he was praying to Gods that the love of his life is alive and would comeback. And maybe they listened to him after all.

Cassian would monitor her every breath, every move of a finger as if she'd dissappear in any second. Just like she did in his nightmares.

The woman moved her head slightly and Cassian was already on his feet, coming closer to the bed. She called Rhysand's name, rather whispered, and opened her eyes a little.

"He had to leave for few hours.", Cassian said softly, trying not to speak too loud. "Do you want me to bring him?", he added and woman shook her head slowly.

"Just don't leave me alone.", she said. Her fingers twitched slightly and the man didn't even hesitate to held them tight in his hands.

"I'm not going anywhere.", he whispered, stroking her palm. It didn't matter if he had to be there for hour - he was ready.

[lunellls]

[1:27am] The tavern was loud. But for some reason that was something that Cassian needed. He needed to cut all of his thoughts. However it was not really possible as both Rhysand and Azriel joined them. Especially after they've heard what happened.

"So can you explain everything again?", Rhysand said with big smile. Then he took another sip of his drink.

"Yes! Especially the part when she ignored you.", Azriel laughed. The general just groaned and put down cup with his drink a little bit too loud. He explained it to them two times already, but because of the amout of alcohol in his system he didn't stop himself from going over the whole situation again.

"I saw her at the library.", he started and both of his friends nodded, letting him know that they're listening. "I was waiting I think like fourty minutes before I even went into her direction. I was so scared, but then I told myself that I am the general of Night Court army. I can't be afraid. I was walking, walking, walking. I got to her table and said: I don't think we've ever been in the same room, did we? She paused reading, packed everything and left to a different room."

And just like two times before Azriel and Rhysand bursted out laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world. Cassian swore he could even see tears in the oldest's eyes.

"It never happened to me!", general said louder than he expected. "She didn't even look at me. If you don't give me an answer - that's fine! But a look would be respectable."

"To be fair, she said to me like two words in the past few years. And I'm the High Lord, I hired her.", Rhysand said after waves of laugh. "So you're not that special."

"Oh brother, you're even in worse situation than me.", Azriel added and both with Rhysand laughed again.

Cassian x witch!ofc

[9:02am] It was the third time. Third time this week that he walked into the huge library under the House of Wind. Several priestesses would gime him surprised looks. Sure the knew him, some even met, however Cassian never was a frequent guest there. Usually accompaned by Rhysand or Azriel and with purpose.

But for the past few weeks he'd come here more than usual, sit in one of the booths and pretend to read a book. Yes, pretend because everyone around him knew that he wasn't paying any attention to it. Cassian might have hold it but his eyes and whole attention was on witch on the other side of the room. She was too focused to even realize someone was looking. Surrounded by old magic books she brought from home to finnish her task the best she could.

That was few days ago, but since the new week started there was no sign of the woman. So Cassian would around the library like a lost puppy, looking for something that he didn't even know. Pretending to be busy just to leave the library in the end.

And today was no different. As the man was about to walk out of the library but one of the priestesses stopped him.

"She went back to her home lands.", Clotho's writting was on the paper. Cassian just looked around as if checking if someone noticed this also. He was about to say something but another note appeared: "She'll be back in two weeks."

"I'm sorry. It's ridiculous.", Cassian montioned around him. At first he wanted to play like he didn't know what she was talking, but then realized it's pointless. Why would he suddenly show up at the library multiple times a week after years of avoiding it? "I don't even know what I'm doing."

"Whatever you're trying, I would suggest to hurry up. Word is that next week she will finish patching up the safety spell around Velaris and won't comeback probably for the next few years."

Cassian tried everything to not show sadness on his face. He nodded quickly, thanked Clotho and left. Next time he sees her it will be different. Or at least he hoped.

Cassian x Rhysand's sister!ofc

[10:31am] The meeting was awful. No one wanted to be here in the first place, but for some reason Rhysand insisted to go over some reports with everybody. He also said that it would be a quick twenty minute thing but here they were two hours later, still sitting and listening. Or at least most of them were trying to pay even a fraction of attention.

Rhysand was going on about some changes that Velaris would be going through in the next months and his sister was doing everything in her power to not fall asleep. She would look around the room and find new things that probably were there for decades but didn't notice it till that day. Then if everything was covered by her eyes she would look at every single person in the room. What they were wearing, how they're trying to survive this horrible time.

And then she looked at Cassian. Standing by the huge windows with arms crossed. He was already monitoring her every move which was way more entertaining that whatever Rhysand was talking about. Their eyes locked for few seconds and then Cassian moved his eyebrows quickly up and down. The woman turned her head as soon as possible and laughed, which immediately tried to cover it by coughing. Not the best strategy as the whole room looked at her.

"I'm sorry.", she said and started waving her palms. "Continue please.", she added. Few seconds later woman looked at Cassian, but he was laughing with hand covering ghost mouth.

[lunellls]

[11:12pm] "Do I have something on my face?", she asked as they walked around the Velaris. The night was cold but it didn't seem to matter to any of them.

"I just like to look at you.", Cassian answered as he brought her closer to his chest. He still looked down at her chest and smiled. Small moon-shaped pendant with red diamond was shinning in the street lights. He gave it to her as a Winter Solistice present almost four months ago and never saw her without it. Which surprised Cassian, since jewelery was not really something that's part of her everyday wear.

"I like it.", woman said and touced the necklace "It's my favourite one", she added between kisses.

"It's the only one you wear.", Cassian laughed into her lips before placing one more kiss.

Cassian x Rhysand's sister!ofc

[7:02am] Training room in the House of Wind was usually only occupied by Cassian, especially in the early hours. And today was not different, the man was already exercising for half an hour, when he heard steps. He immediately turned around towards the entrance and waited for few seconds.

Rhysand's sister was the last person he'd expect to be there at that time. She walked inside the training room and waited for a moment. It was clear that she woke up not so long ago. With dark hair still in a messy braid and blanket around her body.

''Everything's okay? Something happened?", Cassian asked, scanning every inch of her body, searching for something to give him answer. Woman shook her head, which made him relax just a bit.

"I don't want to be alone.", she answered and then pointed at some mats in the corner. "Can I stay here?"

"Of course.", Cassian answered with a smile and watched her moved to the place and get comfortable. "You know, we should re-start our trainings."

"Absolutely, but not at seven in the morning.", she said softly, with eyes already closed and pulling blanket as high as possible.

Cassian laughed at her answer and tried go back his exercies. Tried because it's safe to say, that this training session was already useless. There's no way he'd be able to focus with he rin the room or at least leave her from his sight.

Rhysand x sister!ofc

[6:27am] Prythian was officialy free. Amarantha was dead. Everyone could finally go to their homes even if a lot of them were destroyed. But before Rhysand could do the same thing he had to find his sister.

She came with him to the Masquerade organized by Amamrantha. She was with him all the time only to dissappear few moments before everything happened. He assumed she'd comeback after few minutes but when Amarantha trapped them and she was still gone, he started to panic.

She wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. That wasn't the plan and he made sure to not inform anybody about but. However she always knew when something was going like. And even if Rhysand tried to make her stay, she insisted to help him. And "no" wasn't an answer.

After being locked Under The Mountain he searched for her every time he had a moment to himself. Rhysand looked in every cell, every room, corridor, everywhere he could even think of, but she wasn't there. Only him to assume that there was a spell to hide the place she was held at.

So Rhysand had to wait until everything was over to get her back. He had to wait for his powers and hope that his sister would still be alive when he gets to her.

And she was. Barely. Woman was chained in dark cell, laying on the floor unconscious. She didn't even move when Rhysand walked inside.

He quickly ran towards her, cupping woman's face. Her eyes were closed as Rhysand called her name.

"Hey! Please wake up.", he whispered. His eyes felt wet, as even tiny thought, that his sister might be gone, went through his mind. "Please, please wake up. I have so much to tell you.", man added, tears streaming down his face now.

"Rhysand?", she whispered. Her was voice weak, almost no existing. He just nodded, although she would not see it anyway. "Please leave me alone. Do not come here ever again with promises you can't fulfill. I don't think I will be able to survive it anymore."

More tears streamed down Rhysand's face. He could feel his heart breaking, because how many times Amamrantha made her see him throughout the last forty nine years? How many time she saw him coming to save her only to leave her abandoned in this dungeon?

"It's me. I'm really this time. I'm not leaving you.", he said softly, chocking on his tears. Then Rhysand took off the chains from her limbs and neck. He waited few moments to calm himself down but also to give her some time to adjust. The man picked his sister up and started walking out of the room, holding her as close as possible. "We're going home."

Cassian x Rhysand's sister!ofc

[00:14am] "And we're in your room.", Cassian annouced as he walked inside the room with Rhysand's sister in his arms.

"I think I drank too much.", she whispered and laid head on man's chest.

"It happens to all of us.", he laughed and walked straight to bed. Cassian sat her down on the edge, but woman just fell on the side as if there was no control over her body. She was about to bring legs on the bed, but the General was faster. "Hey! No shoes on the bed.", he scolded her but only earned a laugh.

A sound that, Cassian was sure, could heal nations and saves so many creatures. Sound that was so rare, he only heard it few times in the past centuries. He looked down at the woman just laying on the bed. She was smiling but her eyes were almost fully closed. There was not much time between this state and falling asleep.

Cassian took off woman's shoes and she made a relief sound. Those weren't typical shoes that she wore everyday. Something more like a night out ones. They definately looked amazing on her but at the same time didn't look comfortable at all.

Then he moved her higher on the bed and covered with two sets of blankets. There will be definately a big hangover in the morning, she didn't need to be cold too.

And then he just sat there, next to her.

Moments like this were so rare to them. When she was born, Cassian and his brothers were busy with their own life. Drinking, girls, wars and everything else three hundred year olds would do. It didn't help, that her father would basically hide her from the entire world for over twenty years. For a long time only few dozens of people would know that the High Lord has a daughter.

But one day she came to the war camps with Rhysand. Small trip that she begged her father for the longest time. Everybody's eyes were on her and quickly she became a talk of the whole camp for weeks. Cassian still remembers every little detail of her look that day and often comes back to the moment they officialy met.

It wasn't anything special, but they way she looked at him made his heart beat faster. She didn't even say a word, just sent a polite smile and nod towards Cassian and Azriel. From that moment the General knew he loved her.

"Me and Azriel used to have this conversation a lot.", Cassian started turning towards the woman, who was already sleeping. "He'd always say how much he hates being in love with Mor. Not because he hates her, but because he can't be with her. And I would never get it. Because being in love with you is the best thing in the world. Even if you don't see it the way I do. Even if you bury yourself in your own world and pay no attention to me. I would not change it for anything else."
