Princess faith was furious as she stormed out of her family room after her parents had dismissed them.  Conrad and Adrian were right behind her. Though Adrian was thinking about his parents now, she couldn't believe he had let his thoughts stray to her and how pretty she was. She wanted to slap him, but first she had to talk to Conrad. She had to tell him about Sam, but Adrian was always with him. Maybe she should just go talk to Jack first, to give her time to calm down a tad. Yeah, that's what she would do.

She decided to go out the back way for two reasons. One was because it was much longer than going out the front, so she would have a few extra minutes to herself.  The other reason was because she was less likely to run into someone she would have to talk to.

Adrian, who was planning on leaving to go back home today, decided to go tell the stable hand that he would be staying for the next couple of weeks. Plus he needed to seethe comforting presence of his white stallion, Marcan (pronounced mor-kaun It sounds a little like the French word for f**kers, but Marcan I swear is a Gaelic name meaning horse.) Marcan always got mad at Adrian when he had gone long periods of time without seeing him.

            He told a stable hand that he would be staying here a few more weeks then asked to se his stallion. As he was petting Marcan he heard someone running toward the stable, and then ask where Jack was. Adrian recognized Princess Faith's voice, and assumed that it was jack who responded from the stable next to him. Adrian would have ignored her presence, if it wasn't for her first sentence.

"Jack, I need you to tell me what you know about Prince Samuel Krippen."

"My lady, where did that come from?"

"When I was in the room with dad he kept on thinking 'how can Sam be alive.' Mom said that King and Queen Krippen had some situations that they needed to attend to, and that Prince Adrian was to stay here for a few more weeks, and this has nothing to do with the wedding."

"Princess, that gift of yours is going to get you into trouble one of these days."

            Confused, Adrian snuck the stable containing Faith, Pixie and Jack and stayed in the Shadows. He wanted to know how Faith could know what her father was thinking and why she was asking about his brother.

"What I know about Samuel. He was Prince Gabriel's younger brother. He used to come over here sometime with Gabriel. When I was twelve, I heard that Prince Gabriel was murdered in the woods and that Prince Samuel was missing. No one ever found him. That was twenty years ago, My Lady, how can he be alive."

"And how do you know what your dad was thinking?" asked Adrian, as he stepped out of the shadows.  Faith gave a little gasp as she realized who had been listening, then recovered by saying

"The same way I know that you think my red hair and green eyes are beautiful."

"That explains a lot said a stunned Adrian "so you can read minds."

Adrian remembered Conrad saying something about Faith usually knowing what people are thinking, but he didn't think he meant literally.

"Well at least he didn't go right out and say it" faith responded to Adrian's thought. She turned to Jack and said "its okay jack I mean sooner or later he was going to have to find out about it. Oh, and Adrian-?"

"-huh" replied Adrian looking up at Faith

"I know this might be a little hard for you to get used to at first."

"If you ever get used to it" mumbled Jack

"But," Faith continued, ignoring Jack "I need you to promise me that you won't tell anyone about my power. The only people who actually know about it are Conrad and Liath."

            Reality was beginning to set in. This girl, who was most likely about to be his wife, was a… a... freak!

"And I don't appreciate the term 'freak'"

"Will you stop that!" looks like the two were headed into an argument.

"I can't help it Adrian, when ever you think, it's like you are talking. I hear you"

"What, am I not supposed to think now" asked Adrian

"Not when you're around me" said Faith.

"Will you two stop this? It won't accomplish anything." Jack interrupted.

"Fine I need to go clear my head, bye" Adrian went into Marcan's stable, jumped on without the saddle and started to go, but stopped when he heard Faith call out.

"Remember, don't tell anyone. Conrad and I will talk to you later"

            Adrian put up his hand to tell that he got the message, and then rode off.

"Great," Faith said "now Adrian knows about my gift, that's just great."

"My lady, I promise that every thing will turn out fine." Jack said

"And how do you know that" asked Faith

"Well think about it." Jack said "now you can ask him about Sam and not have to worry about hiding anything."

"Whatever you say, Jack" said Faith with a snort

"I'm going to go talk with Conrad and tell him that Adrian Knows about my gift. I'll see you later."
