My Mate

Transcript

00:00Hi.

00:01Hi.

00:02Hi.

00:03Hi.

00:04Hi.

00:11Hi.

00:18Is that me?

00:40I hope you don't mind.

00:41I can't get the eyes right though.

00:45That's a good angle.

00:47It doesn't do them justice.

00:51No, your work is beautiful.

01:02Why didn't you tell me?

01:03Feyre.

01:04Why?

01:05I didn't want to get you into something you didn't ask for.

01:08How would you know what I wanted if you'd never asked?

01:11I wouldn't force anything upon you.

01:13Especially when you couldn't even look at me.

01:15Force me?

01:16Is that what you thought when you forced your bargain on me?

01:19When you made me dance for you for months on end?

01:21I did that to protect you.

01:23How?

01:24I couldn't let Emmerantha know that we needed you.

01:28That I needed you.

01:32That the bargain was my way to fight her and save you.

01:35By treating me like your toy?

01:36It was a ruse.

01:38A way to convince everyone that you were nothing more than my plaything when in reality you were the only way to beat her.

01:45It was debasing.

01:51I know.

01:54And I'm sorry.

01:58If I could have made it any easier for you, I would have.

02:04It was terrifying.

02:07Seeing you endure that.

02:11It was terrifying for me too.

02:14I went through hell and up the mountain all for someone who wasn't the person I thought he was.

02:23I envied him.

02:26That he had you.

02:29The way that you looked at him, I wanted that.

02:44Do me a favor, talk to me.

02:48Please.

02:52Say something.

02:56How could I possibly be your mate?

02:59I fell in love with the first person who merely extended his hand.

03:05That's all it was.

03:07And when the illusion faded I realized that I was wrong.

03:09So what if...

03:11What if you're just doing the same?

03:13You don't understand.

03:15For years you've been in my dreams.

03:17I've had visions of you and wondered who you were and why you were in my head for years.

03:22This isn't some illusion, it's more than that.

03:26Because of one?

03:27Yes.

03:30And a year ago I realized why.

03:34Like when I saw you for the first time.

03:37Truly saw you.

03:40I knew that it was you I was looking for.

03:44Why me?

03:46I was drawn to you.

03:49I couldn't stop thinking about you.

03:53And when you were so near to me I was intoxicated by the idea of you.

03:59But I couldn't let anyone know.

04:02And it drove me mad.

04:05Why?

04:07If Emma ever found out, I don't ever want to think about what she would have done to you.

04:14She already took so much from me.

04:18But it was my choice to go.

04:21God, I hated to hear that.

04:26I know.

04:28How you looked at me with such contempt.

04:31And it tore me apart.

04:35But I knew it ensured your safety.

04:39I convinced myself that it would be better if I just forgot about you.

04:45And the bargain?

04:46The bargain was just a formality.

04:49Our bond is so much more.

04:51My soul is tethered to yours.

04:53Even if I was hundreds of miles away it would still pull me towards you.

04:57That's what our bond is like to me.

05:02I don't...

05:04I don't know.

05:05You can take all the time you need to figure it out.

05:07I don't need time.

05:08Rhys, I need to be sure that we're making the right choice.

05:12What do you mean?

05:14I'm nothing like the girl you saw in your dreams.

05:16She died under the mountain.

05:18But I don't want the girl who died.

05:20That's what Tamlin wanted.

05:21He wanted the dainty housewife who stayed home.

05:24I want the bold and clever Feyre that I see in front of me.

05:33Do you want to know who I see?

05:36I see a murderer.

05:38I see a scared girl who killed two innocent fairies just so she could run back to the man who wanted to keep her trapped.

05:44But it doesn't erase what I did.

05:46It doesn't stop the nightmares.

05:48It's just seeing their eyes beg for mercy as I cut them down.

05:53Feyre, please.

05:54I wanted to kill myself.

05:55I would have rather died than kill another innocent fairy.

05:57That fear will never go away, but you have a choice, Feyre.

06:01You can either let it shatter you and eventually kill you.

06:05Or you can accept that it happened and move forward.

06:12We've all done things that haunt us.

06:17How can you live with someone like me?

06:20Because I choose to.

06:23And I want to.

06:27And I love you.

06:32I love you, too.

06:40Tamlin.

06:49I love you.

07:20No.

07:24Feyre.

07:26Do you want this?

07:27I want you.

07:29I'm yours, please.

07:31I'm yours.

07:33And you're mine.

07:49I love you.

08:19I love you.

08:27I forgot to move you through.
