Chapter 2
Although there was happiness throughout Telmar, a sense of dread lay in Adeline. She worried day and night for Caspian.
Just a few days ago she thought Narnians were extinct, but now they had kidnapped her younger brother;
Adeline could not help but feel a strong hatred towards them. As she walked down the corridors she heard a commotion come from her and Caspian's former professor, he was being dragged out by two of Miraz's guards.
Adeline hurried down the rest of corridor until she reached the guards, "What is the meaning of this? Professor?"
Cornelius did not say anything, but went away willingly with the guards. The door to the Professor's office opened, Lord Sopespian.
"Why is Professor Cornelius being dragged away? Where are they taking him?" Sopespian bowed to her and simply said,
"That is something you must ask your uncle- my lady." She gave the lord a harsh glare before barging into the dark room.
Miraz stood over a large book, a red feathered arrow stuck over a picture of two young men and two young women, a curious book for Miraz to be reading.
"Why is Professor Cornelius being arrested? What has he done wrong?"
Miraz looked surprised that his calm niece was snapping at him, keeping his composure he replied softly attempting to sound concerned,
"He is a traitor, he assisted in the capture of Caspian." Adeline did not know what to say, her mouth hanged open in shock,
"Professor Cornelius would never do that! He loved Caspian like a son! Why would he do this?"
"Your professor is a Narnian, Adeline!"
The room went silent, Adeline quickly sat down in the nearest chair she could find, her mouth still opened in shock,
"What?"
"Professor Cornelius is part dwarf, the blasted half breed passed as a man all these years."
They both sat in silence, Adeline still in shock and close to crying.
Adeline could not sleep that night; she stood in front of her window looking out at the wild, forbidden forest that rested just outside the castle.
She was emotionally drained after her surprising discovery of Professor Cornelius and his supposed involvement with the kidnapping of her brother. She wondered if he was okay, if he was even alive still.
Adeline went away from the window and sat on her bed getting under the soft, warm covers shielding herself from the cold, damp air of the castle;
she tried to block out her worries and she soon fell asleep into fitful movement and terrifying dreams.
A/N
Heya everyone! I have returned! Well I decided to separate the two stories for In the Name of Honor because I really wanted to develop the characters separately and make them the stars of their own stories. So I hope you all will enjoy reading Adeline's story, but I must tell you now that this is not really a love story (kinda, but there may be some romance ;).
Sorry to all of you Anna fans who wanted to read her story, but her's will be coming later. Look on my profile for updates on the stories. Love you all and keep the reviews, favorites, and story alerts coming! They totally make my day! And feel free to give me any kind of constructive criticism you want, but please be nice!
Until next time!
