Chapter 10:
Adrian's P.O.V.
I raised over to faith and checked her pulse. Thank you, god, thank you. Her pulse was faint, but it was there none the less. I pulled out my sword and cut the rope. Faith fell to the ground and I knelt down next to her. I pulled her up next to me, spotting the reason she was unconscious. Someone had hit her on the side of her head. There was red blood weaving into her already red hair, and now that I looked I could tell that there was blood on her face, well at least there used to be, someone had wiped it off.
I raced over to Marcan and took off the blanket that was on his back, then raced back over to Faith. As I was wrapping it around her, she started to come to, but not for long.
"Lord…Connor…" what does he have to do with anything, isn't he like the kings best friend or something? "what is it, honey?" "He's…he's…" no, I was loosing her again "he's what? Faith stay with me." No! She was out again. I have to get to get her back to the palace. She needs to see the healer. I picked her up as carefully as I could and started walking towards Marcan. I was about half way there when I heard growling behind me. I don't know about you, but when there is growling behind you, and you don't exactly have any free hands, well you tend to get a little scared. But just a little.
I turned around as slowly as possible, still clutching to Faith. About a hundred feet away was vicious looking wolf. It was growling, and saliva was starting to drop out of its mouth. It was coming towards us, and at the rate it was moving, it would be up to us in about five seconds. Wait…hold a second…
There was something different about this wolf, its eyes were… they were human, in fact they looked like my mother's eyes. And that wasn't all. Were my eyes playing tricks on me, or was this wolf slowly changing? Changing into… a human?
One, two, three, changes I see. One, two, three, from wolf to being. It was said in my head, just like Starling had talked to me. Though this was not Starling. It was more of a masculine voice. I focused more on the wolf, no it wasn't it a wolf any more, but a man. That is what Faith must have been trying to tell me. Why didn't I see it before? Standing before me was Lord Connor. He had this evil grin on his face that I was trying my best to ignore.
"I see you saved the beloved princess. Shame, I was just coming back to end her life."
"Lord Connor, why are you doing this." There was rustling in the bushes and I stole a quick glance that way to see what it was. Perfect, another wolf, wonder who this one will turn out to be.
"you don't need to worry. That would be a real wolf. And a beautiful wolf she is." Connor said as he knelt down next to the wolf. "her name is Casey. It means watchful, and that she is. She's been watching over me for the past twenty years." I'm guessing he saw my confused expression, because he gave a little laugh and said, "you don't know who I am do you?"
I stared at him. "your Lord Connor" was he crazy?
"no Adrian, I'm not crazy. And Connor was just a name that sparrow and the other Fairies call me. It seemed to fit me so I kept it." Sparrow, Starling had said that her brother's name was Sparrow. Oh, no, please don't tell me that Connor could read my mind too. "yes Adrian I can read your mind, you know what? I think we should just start out at the beginning. My name is Samuel Krippen."
