While Father was taking care of the High Lord of Spring I went after Amaziah and Irren, Tamlins two older brothers. I winnow into the manor and right then I search to find them.
I hear Amaziah's thoughts first so I went and followed them. I soon came into a little study room with bookshelves lining the walls and a small oak table with matching chairs in the middle of the room. Two out of the four chairs were occupied.

Before Amaziah or Irren could react, I grabbed ahold of their minds and just watched the shock that went through their faces knowing they were going to die.
"Well, well, well look what we have here", I said with a wicked smirk on my face. "I am going to love killing you damned bastards slowly", I told them.
I strolled over to the High Fae and pulled out one of my Illyrian knives. It was a short blade but it had a wicked serrated edge.

"Who shall be first?" I asked, standing in between them.
"Just get it over with you bastard", snarled Amaziah.
"Oh, no no no, that's not how we're going to do it, and for you having the nerve to tell me to get it over with you will have the honor of watching your brother die right before your eyes."
Amaziah's eyes widened at that, and was trying to get out of my clutches but it was no use, no one has ever gotten out of my shadow claws holding their minds.

I then sliced the serrated blade across Irren's throat, and I made sure it was not a cut that instantly killed, it was a cut that made the victim choke on their own blood and die slowly.
"Oh, well look at that, that suffering and knowing you will soon die on your own blood but still breathing to live. It is one of the most enjoyable things I have ever seen, my enemies dying slowly on their own blood. Isn't it so satisfying?" I asked Amaziah in his ear.

I circled him, watching him, waiting for any movement so I can pounce. Then I felt it, he was struggling to get out of my mental holds. I then took hold fully and squeezed so hard I broke his mind and brain. He was dead instantaneously. "It was a valiant effort but sloppy", I said and walked out of the study.

I smelt blood so I followed it, know it was from Father. I then knew where I was. Shit, he's going for Tamlin. I started running towards Tamlins room trying to get there in time to stop Father. Just a few more feet.

I got there just in time for when Father was about to barge in the room, but I stopped him. "Father stop!" I whisper-yelled to him. "No more blood, no more death please we killed three and that's enough."
But then that's when I looked at him. He had too much blood on him from just one person. "Father? Where'd you get all that blood on you?" I questioned.
"I killed Martague, but then Lorene saw so I had to kill her too", he admitted.
"Father! We agreed we weren't going to kill Lorene, that we weren't savages that we were better than them."  I was about to go on but Tamlins door opened.

I turned to look at my friend, now my enemy. I saw the confusion flash through his face, then worry,then rage. Before I could warn Father, Tamlins claws breaking skin from his hands and he slashed out and sliced my Fathers throat right in front of me. I didn't know it happened until my Father dropped to the ground- dead.
  My whole family is dead now, because of me
"Tamlin, it's not what it looks like", I tell him, but I knew he knew what we did. And then I felt it. Like dark shadows entering me, more than what I had. I felt my power grow stronger and realized why- I was the new High Lord of the Night Court. I looked over to Tamlin and saw his power was growing too. We both had just become High Lords of our courts and I realized something. That my friend now just became my greatest enemy and we were both High Lords.

I turned away before Tamlin could do anything to me and ran.

Thank you so much for reading this! I actually had fun writing it cuz death is amazing! (Not really death is horrible in reality, you guys shouldn't listen to me) I want to thank aclbug03 for proof reading this and giving me suggestions of what I can add and all that. I couldn't have done it without you guys!
(And I'll update more often- hopefully)
