Ianthe

When Tank arrived, comfort covered me. The first thing I did was embrace him as he hugged me.

" how've you been?!" He asks, I raise my eyebrows. "Besides the trial I mean," he shrugs "you and Will at it again huh?" I blushed at his teasing.

"What about you? ," I say back, only to have Tank look down, his face red.

"Lysandra?" Aedion questioned,hoping she was there, he hid his disappointment as he saw Tank, thanking him for coming. Back in high school, Tank thought Aedion was so cool.
  Now Tank  hoped Lysandra loved Aedion as Aedion loved Her.

  "Tank," I begin, trying to find the words to explain that I was immortal.

"Ianthe, I know you're a Fae," he spoke then smiled, "and you're still my best friend, pointed ears aren't going to change that," he let out a laugh "now I am jealous of those gold eyes, those are cool,"

"I was cool before I got the eyes," I remark causing Tank to snort in contrast.
  Lucy and Merwin casually walked by, trying to see what the laughter was about. I monitored for them to come in, so I could properly introduce them to Tank. Plus, I wanted to tell them my story, many of the Courts would be calling me horrid names and I want them to know the truth. Yes I craved attention through sex, but I've overcome it. I am a better person.

"Lysandra's on her way," Harley yelled, I heard Aedion let out a shout of glee.

"Ansel is to," Tank muttered under his breath.

"What?" I whisper back.

"She told me that she wanted to see you, and punch people," he shrugged "she also said she needed to be here to help you, she said you were always there for here." I sighed. I hadn't seen Ansel since my senior year of high school and she's probably still as wild, and to be honest I'm scared. I've missed my friend, but I have no idea what to say to her. Plus, if Ansel was to go to the bar, I'd go with her. I'd be reliving and enjoying my past life, but I'd fall into a trap. All my therapy would be for nothing.

Clacey

When Jermone answered the door, I felt annoyed.

"Jermone," I begin, he nodded, but had little interest in what I had to say so I simply shrugged at him. "If you didn't act so desperate, Lucy might would go out with you,"

" she..she's into Drake,"he snapped back.

"'Was' into Drake," I corrected, leaving him shocked as I went to find H.

Seeing Daniel at the Quinnzell house, still shocks me. I assumed he always like Merwin, but I never knew they'd get together.
   They were sitting on the floor in the hallway playing cards.

"I will beat you one day," he spoke, only to have her roll her eyes. "Oh.....hey Clacey," he continued, I probably shouldn't have watched them play because now I'm in an awkward position. "Wan play?"

"Looking for J?" Merwin asks, clearly not wanting me to play.

"Cmon String Bean, let her play!" Daniel continued. "I promise you'll have plenty of alone time with me," I couldn't help but laugh as Merwin turned red.

" thanks, but she's right I came to see J," I told them.

"He's with Lucy in her room," Merwin spoke, I smiled, I gave her a hand gesture about her and Daniel, she pointed to Lucy's room causing me to laugh.

  As soon as I went into Lucy's room, I noticed Jermone was there also.

"Cl...Clacey...Clacey," J squealed with a grin, he ran to me as he picked me up and twirled me in the air.

"Hey!" I respond, allowing myself to strand my fingers through his curls.

"T....th...tha.....that's.....tick...tickles,"

  "Sorry,.." I begin only to have him shake his head.

"D...do...don't...st..stop,"

"You know what J, I'm glad you're my man," his reaction was like a kid on Christmas.

"Get a room," Jermone shouts.

"Why don't you go to your own room instead of Lucy's?!!" I snap, J placed a hand on my shoulder. "Thanks," I tell him.

  Lucy

"Sorry you have to deal with a lot of girls," I tell Jermone, as we make our way to living room. "What are you playing?" I ask Merwin in the hallway.

  "YES!" Daniel screams. "I finally beat her!"

"No he didn't," Merwin mouths.

"No no! I did!" Daniel argues, sounding like a 2 year old.

  "What bring you all out here?" Merwin asks, as she began dealing cards.

"No! No more cards, I beat you and the day is ending with my victory," Daniel spoke with a grin.

"Idiot," Merwin muttered.

"A cute idiot," Daniel told her.

"In your dreams," she told him. Though the way her eyes were looking at him, she thought differently.

"Give is the cards, if your not going to play," I tell her, if Jermone and I didn't have anything to do, he'd flirt with me.

"What are we playing?" He asks.

"Bull crap," I say, knowing that I would win, since I had my dads poker face.

Ianthe

I plopped on my bed, hearing a knock at the door.

"Come in," I say, as Will enters and sats on my bed, allowing me to lay my head in his lap.

"How's Tank?" He asks.

"Good," I reply. I didn't want to tell him I hung out with Tank all day, I'm afraid he'll get jealous. Tank is my best guy friend, and Will is really stressing over the trial and I don't want him to think I'd rather be with Tank than him.

"You ok? You seem stressed," he ran his fingers through my hair, pausing when he touched my ears. The ears he created.

"I..." I didn't know how to explain it to him.

"You,,you can tell me...did you make love with Tank or something?"

"WHAT?!" I yell "you really think I'd cheat on you with my best friend?! You think I'm still addicted!" I basically scream, urging the tears to not come out.

"No Ianthe I...I meant like in the past i..." he paused "I know how far you've come,. And I'm not trying to put you down I.."

"I'm worried about Ansel," I pause "but you wouldn't understand, especially after your comments," he yelled for me to come back, but I stormed out. Maybe Harley can help me.

Lydia

I couldn't sleep, I was too nervous about Ianthe and the trial.

"Lydia, you ok?" I look up to see Aedion, I nod. "You sure?" I nod again. Lies. "Ok,..it's late, you should sleep,"

"No Lysandra?" I ask.

"She's on her way," he spoke, trying to hide his excitement.

"Goodnight Aedion," I say, aching him to leave and stay.

"Night."
I pull my hair down, it falls halfway across my bed. I begin tying it in knots, just like I did in the tower. It kept the thoughts out of my head, as my hair cried out in pain.

Aedions right it is too late. I'm not surprised when It goes to voicemail.

"Hey Thorne, Sorry I didn't call earlier, I'm just worried about the trial, love you," I click off, ending my message. I don't even bother with covers as I try to sleep.

You know she deserves it

She wanted it

She caused it

The voices don't stop, trying to convince me that Ianthe is guilty.

"Shut up," I say.

But I can help you

"No Fae ever means that," I say.

I am the seelie Queen, I can do anything
Lydia just go against her

"Why would I do that?" I snap.

For the reward. My darling, I can bring Eugene back.

Harley

When I saw Ianthe, I could tell she was pissed.

"What's up?" I ask her only to have her sigh and sit on my bed.

"I'm worried about Ansel, that she'll bring me back to my old habits,"

"Ianthe you've come too far to-"

"Bull," she snaps as I try to assure her.

"What's ya problem?!!" I snap back. Then she began crying, covering her mouth as she sobbed.

"Will ...thinks.....he still judges me for my past,"

"Ianthe, I'm sure....I can't see Will doing that,"

"Sounds like he did, he doesn't deserve you sis," I look up to see Tank as he winks at Ianthe.

"Thank you" she says and he nods.

"Anytime."

Lydia

It wouldn't last. I've grown as a person, and bringing someone from the dead can only cause trouble. And what about Thorne?!
I knew his was wrong but it didn't stop my frown dialing the numbers. To Eugene's mom, go tell her if the news.

The beginning of the end

The queen of the Fae, chose her victims wisely. She wanted Ianthe and sill dead. The only way to do this was to cause destruction.
Bringing Eugene back would not only ruin Lydia Branwells current relationship, and make her turn against her sister, but it would also destroy the Quinnzell sisters as a whole.
The queen knew Clacey Herondale was her bevy target, for through her she could get to J. For J was the son of the Joker, he had the potential to be a Great ally, and enemy l, but she had to break him first.
