CONRAD'S  P.O.V.

"So Your saying that someone is trying to kill Daddy?" Liath asked.

We were sitting in my room again, but this time Liath and Adrian were with us. I told Liath that she had to go up to bed with Malcolm but the stubborn little twerp refused. When I attempted to carry her to bed, she started sceaming bloody murder. She said that she would tell mom about Faith's powers. I was about to tell her to go ahead and tell mom when Faith took her out of my arms and said she was coming.

That's how Adrian ended up in my reading chair, Faith pacing my room, and a shacking Liath in my lap. "Why Didn't I make you go to bed?"

"Your not my mom, Conrad." Liath told me.

"your right, I just don't want you to get bad dreams." I said

"Faith do you-"Adrian started to say, but stopped when Faith put her hand up to silence him. She had obviously heard his question and didn't want Liath to hear, because she looked Liath in the Eyes and said "Liath, honey, I think it is time that you got to bed."

"I agree," I told her. Liath hopped off of my Lap and on to the floor. She walked to the door, but paused when she saw that I was not behind her. "Conrad, aren't you coming?"

"you're old enough to get to your room by your self" I can't believe we still have to go through this.

"Yea, But I'm scared." Liath wined.

"Tough!"

"for crying out loud, Conrad." I swear, women think they own this world.

"All right Faith, calm down." I turned to Liath, "come on little one."

We walked down to Liath's room and I tucked her into bed. "Isn't this moms job?" I asked her

"yea, but she's asleep." Liath told me as she got comfortable.

"good night Liath."

"Good night Conrad."

"What was it that you were going to ask, Adrian?" I asked as I walked into a stone silent room.

"he wanted to know if I could tell who it was that poisoned Dad's wine." Faith said as Adrian cringed

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it." To Faith I asked "do you know who did it."

"no, I just paid attention to what they thought, not who was thinking it. I'm so stupid. It could have been any body."

"you're not stupid, you saved Dad didn't you." I tried to comfort her.

"I bet it's that one guy that came in, right before it happened." Adrian said.

"Who, Lord Rhauk?"  I guessed

"he seems most likely, seeing that he's been after Dad's thrown for a while, but what about Lord Conner and Thomas. As I was talking with them, I noticed that we don't exactly know them all too well" I said

"and it could be any of the servants."

"Thank you Mr. Positive." I said to Adrian

"It's not uncommon." Adrian said

"Dad's assassin could be anyone, we will have to keep our eyes out. For now let get some sleep you guys. good night, I'll see you tomorrow." Faith said.

"Good night, Faith." Adrian and I said to her as she walked out of my room. I turned to Adrian as he was standing up and said good night.
