The Witch (Acotar)

Chapter I.

Third pov

After Feyre made a deal with Amarantha Rhiannon started planning how she could possibly help defeat her aunt.

___________________________________________

As she walked to her room through the halls of the palace under the mountain she was grabbed and pushed into a dark corner. She forced her eyes open and calmed down once she saw Rhysand.
She took his hand off of her mouth and scolded him.
,,What the fuck Rhys?! You scared the shit out of me."
,,Shhhh! Keep quiet I need to speak with you."
He said letting go of her.
,,What do you want?"
She asked him.
,,I need you to cast a protect spell over Feyre."
He said.
,,Why?"
,, Because she can save us all. But she will need help."
He said and she nodded in understanding.
,,But that's not all is it?"
,,No it's not. I'll tell you once we defeat Amarantha."
He said walking away and after a minute she went to her room to do the spell.

Timeskip
(First task)

Everyone joined in the throne room where the first task will take place. In the floor there was a big hole and it looked like a labyrinth. Rhiannon looked around to find Rhysand who was already looking at her from the crowd. She nodded at him and he sent a quiet thank you to her.

After a few more minutes feyre was dragged into the maze to fight the giant worm.
Everyone around was throwing bets but Rhiannon quietly watched as Feyre smeared the mud all over her.
,,What is she doing?"
Most people questioned. Rhiannon smiled at the brilliant idea of the human girl. She heard Rhysand say.
,,Feyre has just become invisible."
After Feyre defeated the worm she threw a bone in Amaranthas way and showed her a middle finger.

Rhiannon's pov

After that I walked to my room to hide from my aunt who is probably really angry right now.
I was half asleep when I heard a knock on my door. I opened them and saw Rhysand.
,, What's going on?"
I asked.
,, I just wanted to thank you for doing the spell."
,, Okay you did. Goodnight."
I said trying to close the door but he caught it again.
,, And to let you now that if we actually defeat Amarantha you are more than welcomed to become a part of my court."
He said and I started to tear up.
,, Really?"
,,Yes, really. You've been the only person who was always nice to me here I'd like to return the favour."
He said and I hugged him.
,,Thank you."
,,No, I thank you."
He said and hugged back.
,,I have to go now but see you tomorrow."
,,You too."
I said and closed the door.

(Second task)

The second task seemed pretty easy. Until I figured that Feyre can't read. Luckily Rhysand had this figured on his own so I just watched as they solved it all. Second ask done and one more to go.

(Third task)

The third task was cruel. Feyre was forced to kill three Fae people to free everyone. It took a lot for her to do so but eventually she did kill the first one, and the second one but the last one was a trick. It was Tamlin the one she's doing this all for. I watched them as they looked at eachother. After few seconds she did stab him with the dagger to. I was shocked but then I realised that he will heal once he has his powers back.

,,That was the last one. Now free them."
She said turning towards Amarantha.
,,I didn't say when I would free them. It could be days or years."

After few seconds Amarantha jumped at Feyre trying to kill her. From the last breath that Feyre had she answered the riddle that was said ,,love".
I felt the magic of the high lords snap and get back to it's rightful owners.
After that one word Tamlin jumped at Amarantha killing her. I cried out. Even tho she was awful, she was the last family I had. Rhys got to me and held me by my shoulders. The high lords brought Feyre back as a Fae and everyone was happy.

After Rhysand said his goodbyes to Feyre he walked to my room where I sat with packed things.
,,Ready?"
He asked taking me by my hand.
,,I guess."
And then we disappeared in darkness.
,,She's your mate isn't she?"
I asked during the travel.
,,Yes, she is."
