I changed the summery to match the story a tad bit more. This is a lot longer than the last chapter. I know that Chapter 6 was supper short. (and I'm supper sorry.) So I combined chapter 7 and 8 together to make one long chapter. Right, well enjoy, and REVIEW, Comments, ideas, anything. If you read it just say so.

Chapter 7: don't let the bed bugs bite.
Faith's P.O.V.
God, I'm tired, but how am I to sleep knowing that someone wants dad dead. First step is to not think about that now. Think about it tomorrow. Now I have to get dressed for bed then got to the wonderful land of dreams.
As I'm getting dressed, I take a peek out at the moon. Well, there is something to look forward to. Tomorrow night is a full moon. I love full moons. I have always found them to be relaxing, and I usually sense a odd sort of power those nights. Tomorrow night I will go out to the garden and watch the moon. Maybe, I'll even invite Adrian.
Yeah that's a laugh.
Next day:
Adrian's P.O.V.:
There was a tone of yelling in the halls. God, hadn't any of these people herd the phrase keeping the peace? What was all the yelling about anyway? Then I remembered last night. And the failed attempt to kill the king. Oh no, what if the person tried again, a succeeded?
I jumped out of bed with a not so nice four letter word and ran to the door, where a servant was passing by "excuse me," I said "what is all the commotion about?"
"It's the princess, my lord, she has been taken."
"Is she al right?" I asked.
"I don't know. The king has the note." What kind of a monster would kidnap a nine year old girl? Poor Liath, what she must be going through.
When I heard a little girl start to cry from down the hall, a new thought occurred to me. "What Princess was taken?" I asked watching as the servant grew more distressed.
"Princess Faith my lord. God bless her soul."
"Thank you… Mary isn't it." I asked, recognizing Faith's servant.
"yes." Mary said with a nod as a tear slid down her face.
"Don't worry, we'll get her back." I said trying to comfort her. I dismissed Mary, got dressed as fast as I could, then I headed towards Faith's room. "What happened?" I asked as I got to her room. Conrad looked at me and I could tell that he had been crying. He hasn't cried since that on time that Faith got really mad at us for calling her a wimp. She went down and got her bow and arrows and started shooting at us. She purposely made it so they would all miss us, but unfortunately, one of the arrows hit Conrad in the arm. He was crying for hours, but hasn't cried since. Now here he was, crying, because his sister was gone, the same sister that shot him in the arm ten years ago.
"When Mary came in here this morning, she found that the bed was empty. She went over to make that bed, and found a note on the bed." Conrad said in a quite voice. Faith was gone. I had almost expected this to be a joke, but I know that the king would not have played along. "What does the note say?" I asked
King Sullivan took out a folded peace of paper and read:
"King Sullivan, you escaped my first attempt to kill you, and because of that I took your Daughter. I'll give you a chance to find her. If by tomorrow night, you still have not found her, then I will kill her and then kill you later. If you do find her then I will still kill you. It looks as if my brother's revenge is finally in place. Oh, and one little tip. Your daughter is in the woods somewhere. You better start looking, the clock is ticking."
"What does he mean by 'my brother's revenge is finally in place'?" I asked
"To be honest with you, I have no idea." The king answered. I nodded, and headed towards the door. "Where are you going?" Conrad asked me.
"To find Faith of course."
"Prince Adrian! That is what we have knights for. All of my men are out there looking for her as we speak." King Sullivan Assured me. I paused by the door. I don't know what came into me.
"The woods are gargantuan, one more person out there looking for her wont hurt." then I continued out into the hall.
"Adrian, wait!" I turned to see Conrad catching up to me. "Why are you doing this?" he asked me "I thought you used to hate each other"
"That is what I thought too, but things change, or… at least I do." I have no idea what is coming over me, but I do know that I need to find Princess Faith before it is too late.

Is it just me or is this turning into a romance. That was so not intended. Well REVIEW if you want me to update.
