Chapter 6

She was surrounded by darkness and nothing but silence. She was cold and fear was running through her system as she noticed that she couldn't move.

She knew what was coming next and wanted it to stop but there was nothing she could do about it. Chloe closed her eyes she didn't want to see what was going to happen next.

The darkness changed and suddenly before her was a scene of knights standing across knights, her father one of them. Then the scene changed again this time to the dead of her father…killed cowardly from behind by an English man.

Blood was spilling from his mouth and the last word he said was: Chloe and then a tear escaped his eyes as he thought about the daughter he left behind.

Although Chloe wasn't there when he died she knew that this has happened. The knights who returned told her so and since she was a child she could feel what other people were feeling. She had felt as her father took his last breath and it broke her hear that she wasn't there.

He died alone on the battle-field.

Again Chloe was surrounded by darkness and this time she was glade for it.

Lex sat beside the bed in which the woman of his dreams lay. Earlier as she broke down he caught her and brought her to her room. Siobhan who saw what had happened came running to him and showed him the way. She then asked him to wait outside while she looked after the cuts.

He did as he was asked but after Siobhan returned to him and told him that she would be fine he returned to her. This was almost five hours ago and since then he hadn't moved. Lex was just sitting by her site, staring at her face and holding her hand.

He knew that he didn't know her other then from his dreams but as he saw her break down in the hall earlier today…

As he saw her for the first time he thought that know he was truly home and then he saw all the blood, how she was swaying and trying not to break down.

Lex was as if he could feel all her pain and as she broke down he thought he was going to die because he didn't know what to do. He was so worried that he swore that he would never let her get hurt again. He would protect her from anything bad that is going to happen.

She was going to be his wife and suddenly he was glade for Richards order. Lex was going to be her husband and by god he loved her already so much and if she wouldn't love him back he would make her.

Siobhan returned to Lucas and Clark who were sitting in a room by the boy called Julian. She had cleaned his cuts before she took him to bed.

She went to look after Chloe but before she went out she asked Lucas and Clark to look after him till she returned.

Now she was standing here and looked at the boy. She knew Julian because he came into the convent a year after she and Chloe had come to it. With the years they all became very close and as they needed to go Chloe took him in. They didn't know where he was coming from because nun found him as he was still a baby with just a piece of paper on the front where his name stood.

Julian looked back at her. He knew that she thought about the time they had met and as Chloe asked him if he wanted to live with them. He also knew that she wanted to know what happened so he sat up and she sat down beside him on the bed.

Clark had left a while ago to look after the other men who had come with them and Lucas was about to leave too so that they could talk in private as the red-haired spoke:

"Stay…please?" Lucas could hear the fear in her voice and knew that she didn't want to be alone when Julian told her what had happened so he nodded and sat down beside her. She gave him a small smile and thanked him softly. Lucas returned her smile and then they turned around to Julian.

Julian smiled at the two adults he saw that a link had formed between them and he got the feeling that these two would be very happy in the future.

But as they turned to him he knew that he needed to tell them what happened. Siobhan took a hold of his hand and squeezed it. She gave him a reassuring smile and then waited till he spoke.

"As you know Chloe sent be to the convent to look if everything was alright or if something was needed. I came in the late evening to the nuns and knocked on the door but nobody answered be so I knocked again. This time the door opened on its own because she was open so I went in…" he stopped his explanation as he returned in his mind to the picture that greeted him.

"There was so much blood and the bodies of all the nuns were lying on the floor in the whole convent and then I saw him dressed in black." he continued in a soft voice.

"I just knew that he was the one who had killed them all and then I don't know what happened because everything became so blurred and I was so scared…" he took a deep breath and then continued.

"…and then suddenly Chloe was there. She told me to run but I couldn't move and as the man in black took his whip to hit me she through me aside and took the hit. She didn't even scream as the whip met her flesh. She just looked at me and…and smiled." a tear escaped his eyes.

"Chloe told me that everything would be fine but that I need to go. She stood up and took me with her. Then he whipped her again and this time as she said to run, I run. I just left alone with this bastard." By now sobs were shocking his whole body. Siobhan was holding him in her arms as he cried and Siobhan with him.

"It's alright Julian it was not your fault. Chloe knew what she did and at the end you both life and that is all that madders." She kissed his forehead and then laid him down so that he could sleep.

Siobhan looked over to Lucas and saw the shock but also how impressed he was by Chloe's behavior. Julian saw this too and said: "Chloe might be the princess but for her all people come before her so it was natural for her to protect me." he yawned gave them a last smile and then closed his eyes.

Within minutes he was asleep with Lucas and Siobhan looking over him.
