Gwynriel Fan Fiction

Chapter 2 : Lunch With The Inner Circle

Nesta said to Gwyn as a greeting when she walked in the dining room, "Gwyn what the hell happened to your hair?". Gwyn suddenly noticed that her well brushed hair had been sticking out like she had just been electrocuted. Gwyn then started to pat down her hair but they just wouldn't stand down. "Stupid hair and stupid Azriel" She said and she could've sworn she heard Azriel chuckle.

It was a long table and a lot of luxurious food was on it. Emerie was towards the right of Gwyn and Nesta was sitting Towards her left. Cassian was in front of Nesta, Azriel was in front of Gwyn and Mor was in front of Emerie. Gwyn could see the slight blush in Emerie's cheek everytime Mor spoke to her. Rhysand and Feyre were sitting at one head of the table and on the other head Gwyn saw, whom she thought was the third Archeron sister, Elain.

Gwyn had heard tales of the sister killing the King of Hybern with Azriel's knife. She was fascinated by the fact that all of the Archeron sisters had accomplished something at such a young age. And under all that admiration, Gwyn could feel a pang of jealousy too.

She envied all of them, but she couldn't help but admire them and be happy for them. Couldn't help but appreciate the amount of hard work they have put in achieving this happiness.

She admired the little boy Nyx who had the most dangerous but kindest people as his family in Prythian. She loved that little guy. Had grown quite accustomed to him. She wanted to take him in his arms and just play with him but she wouldn't. She would at least let Feyre feed the little three year old before playing with him.

She noticed everything so she also noticed the nervous glances Elain and Azriel stole of each other. She then kicked Azriel in the legs which brought him out of his staring contest with Elain. She then raised both her eyebrows at him and smirked. Azriel just rolled his eyes and tried to play it cool, but she knew he wanted Elain by just the way he looked at her.

So, she decided she was gonna get them both together. She started by asking Elain a simple question, "So Elain, do you have any hobbies?". Elain was just about to ask when Gwyn noticed her gaze fall to her necklace and tears form in her eyes.

Elain then just excused herself and left the room. Had I struck a nerve? What did I do? Ugh Gwyn why the hell can't you do anything right? All these thoughts ran through her head.
Gwyn then too got up. Azriel asked her where she was going with his eyes. Gwyn assured him she was just going outside with her eyes. Gwyn then left the room and followed where she thought she heard someone crying.

It was Elain crying while sitting on a bench in her beautiful garden. Elain didn't notice when Gwyn came and put a hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay?" She asked. Elain then looked up and wiped her tears with her eyes. "Yeah yeah i'm-i'm totally fine".

Gwyn knew she wasn't fine and she knew she shouldn't push it but she couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry If I did anything wrong I didn't mean to-", "Oh no, of course not Gwyn you did nothing wrong".

But then she saw Elain's gaze fall on her necklace and tears started forming in her eyes. Gwyn then started fumbling with her necklace and asked, "Do you like it?", "What" It had apparently startled Elain.

"You should have it", Gwyn said and started taking of her necklace. "I-I can't take it, I appreciate the offer but I can't-", "Do you not like it then?", "NO-no It's-its not that. It's actually very beautiful but I-"

Gwyn then started chuckling at Elain's fumbling. Elain just stared at her with eyes wide. "Well if you like it you should have it" Gwyn said and took the necklace off and put it in Elain's hands. "Thank-Thank you." Elain looked at the necklace and then back towards Gwyn, "How can I repay you?"

"No need..... Well there is one thing I want-" She was gonna continue but she sensed Azriel's shadows behind her.
