Right well it's been a long time since I updated. I changed the title from "Faith's Trust" to "You Have to Have Faith." If you happen to read this than REVIEW!!!! The poem is written by me, so if you think it's good, tell me. On with the story…
* * ** * * * * * * * * * * *
She used to be a pesky child
Dancing about and going wild.
She was my best friend's sister
And now I truly do miss her.
Yesterday I gazed upon her,
And I swear I saw the future.
Her and I cuddled together,
Sworn to protect each other forever.
Now she is gone, I must go get her,
Before she is killed by her slayer.
God help me save my bride,
Before she is sent to cloud nine.

Adrian's P.O.V.:
I wish I was a horse, or any type of animal at that. You don't have to worry about anything except for keeping yourself alive. You don't have to worry about ruling countries, or doing your duties. And you don't have to worry about saving loved ones from sick brutes who dare to kidnap them in the first place. Why does life have to be so cruel?
"I'm going with you." I turned away from Marcan, whom I was saddling up to go find Faith, to find Conrad leading his horse, Sky, up to me. Sky was a beautiful black Mare with white dot's everywhere, that made her look like a starry sky. "She is your sister; I see no reason to argue. Plus, the more people we have searching, the better." I went back to Marcan and finished putting on his saddle. I noticed Adrian doing the same.
"Does King Sullivan know that you're going?" I asked, he did after all seem pretty shocked when I started leaving.
"Yes, he says he wants to stay here to protect mom, Liath and Malcolm. I don't blame him, after all he did send all of his guards in search of Faith, he only has four of his nights up at the castle. I've never seen him so scared. I think he remembered something as you were leaving, but he won't tell me what. He's definitely hiding something, and knowing dad it's big. It's too bad that Faith isn't here to read his mind."
I know that I'm going to have to get used to that, but I still couldn't help but shiver. The fact that she knew what we were thinking was just freaky. Oh stop it Adrian, she's not going to know anyone's thoughts if we don't find her.
"Jack, can you please take the horses outside, I need to go get one more thing before we leave."
"Yes sir." The stableman said as he walked up to the two saddled horses. "Where are you going?" Conrad asked me.
"Who knows what were going to find out there, Conrad. We're going to need our weapons. Plus I never go anywhere without my sword anyway, but I was in a rush this morning, and I left it up in my bedroom."
"God, I'm so stupid. Let's run, we have to hurry." We both ran to the castle and up the many steps to our rooms. It took us a while seeing that the Montgummrey Castle was huge. A lot bigger than ours, that's for sure. I picked up my sword and tied it around my waist, savoring how the heaviness felt there. This was my brother, Gabriel's sword. It was lying next to his body when he was found. My dad gave it to me as soon as I was old enough to hold it. Though this sword had not saved Gabriel, it had saved me a few times.
Conrad and I met each other on the way to our horses. We ran as fast as we could and quickly mounted onto the Marcan and Sky. The entrance into the woods was about a ten minute horseback ride away. Seeing that we were going as fast as possible, we got there in about five. I've always hated these woods for two reasons. 1) it's kind of where Gabriel died and I never felt right going in there, even though I never met him. And 2) it just flat out gives me the creeps.
There was already a trail leading into the forest from all of the Guards that had entered. Conrad and I went in and took a path that looked like it hadn't been used in years. We went off of the trail every once in a while, calling Faith's name every few minutes. It went on like that for two hours until we came up to a split in the road.
"I think it might be best if we split up and look for her." I said. I didn't exactly want to be alone in a place like this. There was something about it that was really getting to me, but I would definitely do it to save Faith.
"You're right. Start heading back to the castle when the sun sets. If we don't find her, pray to god that one of our guards did."
"Watch your back, good luck." I said, and went to the right.
"hey Adrian!" I slowed my horse and waited for Conrad to answer. "Have faith!" yea, that's a laugh.
"How can I have faith when she's not here?" I said and then raced off down the path, thinking about what I had just said. It was true in so much more ways then one.
"It can't be time already." I found my self saying to no one. The sun was already setting, and there was absolutely no sign of Faith what so ever. I should start heading back to the castle, but something was telling me to keep looking, that what I was searching for was just a little further. Maybe it was what Conrad had said. 'Have faith.' I didn't doubt that I would find her, but I was sure willing myself to. If I wasn't careful, though, I could end up dead out here. I'll turn around after ten more minutes. Someone had to have find her, there is over fifty men looking for her. "Faith!" I yelled. No answer. God don't let this be happening.
"Faith!" silence… or, maybe not. I stopped Marcan and listened, praying that it wasn't just an animal. There was something coming from my right. But what was it? It sounded oddly like … singing? I pulled Marcan off the trail for what must have been the hundredth time today, and walked through the dense part of the forest. The sun was set know, making it completely dark. It's definitely going to be hard to get back to the castle.
"I followed the singing, I wasn't getting any closer, but it wasn't getting farther away either. "Faith!" The music stopped, but I continued ridding. I was determined to find her. No mater how scared I might be at the moment.
All the sudden, it wasn't as dark as it used to be. There was some light source in the direction I was ridding. Please let it be her. Then I noticed where the light was coming from. Is this a dream or something? Am I going to wake up in a minute to find Faith in the room down the hall, and this little ball of light floating in air vanished? That's right, directly in front of me was a floating ball of light. Marcan stopped, mystified by the mysterious object as well.
Then the unthinkable happened. The little ball of light came and landed on top of Marcan's head.
