Chapter 11:

Still Adrian's P.O.V.

"no, that's not possible, Sam died twenty years ago, the same day that Gabriel died." Who dares to go around pretending to be my brother.

"I'm not pretending, Adrian, I am your brother." Shoot, I have to be careful what you think. Why does it seem that every one can read mind's these days. Adrian, say in your head the same thing that I say, and Connor won't be able to hear your thoughts. I recognized Starling's voice so did as she said. it's my thought's and my thoughts only, to hear them, you must ask me.  I repeated the words, and noticed that Lord Connor, Samuel, was scowling.

"You shouldn't have done that Star. Oh well, where was I? Oh yes, at the beginning." He was still kneeling next to Casey. "it started with a little fight between the now King Sullivan Montgummrey and our brother Gabriel. They were fighting over Katherine, as usual. But this fight got more out of hand then it usually did. You see, the fight that day led into a sword fight, though that happened a lot, this one was the last. You see, Sullivan killed Gabriel that day, and I saw the whole thing. I made a vow to make Sullivan pay for what he did to me, and the fairies heard it. Sparrow was impressed at my loyalty towards my brother, so he took me in. He brought me to the land of the Fairy's and trained me. He, along with Casey and the other fairies helped raise me. They gave me special powers that would help me fulfill my revenge on my brother."

"now let me see if I'm getting you here. You're saying that Sam didn't actually die, but in fact your him. You saw who killed Gabriel, and you say that it's King Sullivan. Why would he do that? The King and our brother were friends, good friends."

"your right, they were, until they met Katherine." I glanced down at Faith who was starting to get heavy in my arms. I was happy that she was a sleep for all this. Who knew what she would do if she knew that her dad had killed my brother. Her dad killed my brother.

"so they argued over Katherine, which led to our brother's death."

"exactly"

"then you went with Sparrow and he gave you some magical powers. What were these magical powers exactly."

"the ability to read minds, to move things with my mind, and to communicate with animals. That is why I'm so close to Casey here." As he said this Faith began to wake up. It's funny he had all the same gifts as Faith besides the communicating with animals. I put faith down on the ground, and she looked up at me with a smile.

"I can't read your thoughts any more." she tried to sit up, but I kept her lying down. "don't move." Then there was two balls of light were coming towards us. They split, one going to over to Sam, (I was convinced know that it was indeed Sam, the eyes gave it away.) and the other coming towards Faith and me. Starling landed on top of Faith's chest, and the other landed on Sam's shoulder. I couldn't see the other fairy's features from here, but I had a feeling that it was Sparrow.

"Connor's going to want to fight you if you try to take Faith away." Starling was speaking to me out loud now, and she was sprinkling some sparkly stuff on to Faith. "why do you call Samuel, Connor?" I asked Starling.

"it is the name that all the Fairies gave him. It means wolf so we thought it was fitting. The first animal he ever talked to was Casey, and the passion that he has for wolves is what led him to start transforming into them, as you saw earlier. We didn't teach him that, he taught himself." I recalled how he didn't mention that little power as one of the powers the Fairies had given him.

"what was the stuff you sprinkled on me? I fell twice as better." Starling looked at Faith with a smile on her face. I examined Faith too and realized that the cut on her head had healed completely.

"you'll fell completely normal in a minute. Adrian is going to need your help to fight Connor." A thought occurred to me as I was looking at Faith and Starling

"You don't happen to know how Faith got her powers, do you?" Starling got a knowing look on her face.

"that is what Sparrow is telling Connor now. We kept that little secret from him until the time came. Sparrow didn't think it was fair that Connor would have powers and Sullivan would not. We believe in fair fights, so Sparrow thought about this for a while. About three years actually. He couldn't give King Sullivan himself any powers, so he went to the next best thing. He decided to give the powers to one of Sullivan's children. It was too late to give the powers to the boy I believe you call Conrad, but lucky for us the king's wife became pregnant again. Sparrow gave that child the same powers he gave Connor, while she was still in the womb. Since we couldn't train the child ourselves, she would need to be born with the gifts, to develop them on their own. If I'm correct, you're still developing the gifts" she said this last part directly to Faith. She looked like she was still getting over some of the shock of this. I don't think she knew that Connor was actually Sam, but we were getting there.

"I just found out that I can control things with my mind yesterday, and I've always been able to read peoples thoughts, but I don't know what other powers Connor has, so I don't know if I've discovered them all yet. And does anyone know why Connor kidnapped me?" Faith was definitely confused, and I wanted to explain everything to her

"From what Connor says, the other ability that you'll have is the ability to communicate with animals. As for the reason he's kidnapped you, that was for revenge. Lord Connor's real name is Samuel Krippen." I quickly explained to her about Samuel. She was hurt to know that her dad had been the one that killed his own best friend.

"he talks about him all the time, and what a good friend he was, but I never realized…" she looked like she was about to cry, so I pulled her into a hug, not sure whether or not she would push me away. "I thought I knew everything about my father, but he kept this secret for the past twenty years."

"you can't blame him. He was scared, his best friend died at this own hands." I didn't know exactly what to say, so I tried my best. I was even more shocked then her though. In fact I was furious. I don't know how I would be able to face Sullivan about this, but I knew that it would have to be done.

"I understand that this is a tough moment," Starling interrupted "but I think Sparrow just finished telling Connor about Faith." We looked up to see that Connor was staring us down with quite a menacing look on his face. When he saw that we were looking, he drew out his sword. "it looks like the battle just became a little more difficult."

Ok, there will be one more chapter after this, and then an epilogue. I don't know about you, but I'm really hating these last chapters. (I think they suck) Oh well, maybe I'll revise this latter. Well go press that little button and Review.
